*PLEASE READ*
Hello any new people coming to read this, it has been a LONG time since I wrote and this chapter is not how you should judge my writing. In later chapters, my writing has improved tremendously. If you think my writing is terrible now, please read on as it improves greatly. This is also a shorter chapter.
The Traveler chapter 1: Isolated
Elsa stared longingly at her beautiful beaming sister, deep within her own current thoughts and feelings. Her Sister, the socially awkward, charming, beautiful and naturally nice sister, was in the middle of being Wed to her new soon-to-be Brother in Law. Kristoff Bjorgman. The priest was droning on with his boring voice, threatening to lure Elsa asleep. She wasn't really listening, being to a few noble weddings in her time as queen, she knew the rites by heart. she finally heard the ending words "Do you, Princess Anna (Last name?) of Arandelle, take this man, Royal Ice harvester (a few people laughed at his ridiculous title as he blushed) Kristoff Bjorgman as you lawfully and eternally wedded mate" Elsa didn't know how it was possible, but Anna beamed even brighter and replied happily "I do" Then the priest asked Kristoff the same, and same answer it was. It was pretty funny, at first Elsa didn't approve of or like the ice harvester at all, not even in the slightest bit. She actually really didn't know why at first, he wasn't a bad man she could tell that much. As innocent and.. socially awkward as her sister, surprisingly well mannered, caring, protective, "But not overly, thank god", and just overall nice. But over time, he grew on her. She granted him the title and his job so he could have a chance with Anna and stay in Arandelle for a stable job. She mainly did that for Anna at the time though, to keep her happy. But, when the day came that Kristoff Proposed and Anna excitedly and beaming told herself, Elsa, the news not too far later, she knew why she disliked Kristoff at first.
She was jealous. Yep. Powerful, ice powerful nonetheless, Queen Elsa of Arandelle was jealous of her sister's relationship. She always dismissed the feeling she got whenever she would see Anna and Kristoff kiss, how her and his face lit up at the sight of each other, how they... well Anna at least wasn't her old happy self until Kristoff was there. She was always partially distant, not as cheerful and happy as her old self would be, unless she had Kristoff. She didn't know what Kristoff's "old self" was without Anna, but he also wasn't as cheerful, Elsa noticed unless he was around or with her sister. Elsa was jealous, of the fact her socially impaired sister could find a man, although Elsa hated to admit it, pure and naturally nice, to be with her. Not to mention she found him within a day or two of being outside the gates. Why wouldn't she just get a suitable mate or person for herself you ask? Well, even for the powerful and loving Queen of Arandelle love was hard to find. it wasn't because she was forced to marry within nobility, the council of advisors and court of law already abolished that rule. No.
People were scared of her. Intimidated. Fearful. Whenever she would have to meet new royalty and nobility for queenly duties and such, the Princes and Kings, even women and children she met with would always have the same reaction to her. Usually the ones that knew of her ice powers would cautiously approach her, as if she were a wild animal posing to strike, and very gingerly and quickly shake hands, or bow and kiss her knuckles as a from of formal greeting, and quickly, also rudely by noble standards, hurry away to a safe distance and continue with what needed. They would try and avoid being close to her, and especially avoid all physical contact with her for the time of being in her company, and for departure would do a sorry excuse for noble farewell and leave. As the ones who didn't know about her ice powers, they would act happy and normal, do regular greetings such as knuckle kissing, and flinch at the cold contact of her skin, usually being very cautious and acting different around her. One of them even insisted she see a doctor, until he was informed of Elsa's.. condition. Which then he learned, he never met her eyes and always jumped when she would come close to or make contact with him. There were many other cases and scenarios of people being scared and rude to Elsa by fear, but she never really got mad at them... well, not too mad. she understood, heck if she was in the noble's positions she would be scared of herself too. The power to suddenly just freeze your heart, or impale you with icicles... not that she ever would, gods no. But they didn't seem to get it or think like that, except Anna, and after awhile, Kristoff. A few servants and Maids were also perfectly fine and used with her powers too. There was a lot more to ponder and think about, but she was suddenly torn from her mental reciting when she heard those words.
"You may kiss the bride".
Elsa didn't know how possible, but it seemed they both beamed an even bright smile, locked in each other's gazes, and leaned forward to kiss.
Elsa looked down, blushing and embarrassed to be witnessing this... she also didn't want her jealousy to spark up again. You are wondering why there are no Best Men or women, this was a royal and super formal wedding. The only important people of it Were Anna and Kristoff, they didn't want to deter attention off of the main two newly-weds.
Elsa forced herself to look up at her delighted sister, and their lips finally passionately met. The large crowd of the church erupted into cheering and stood up from the benches. The two broke from the kiss and turned to gaze at the crowd.
Anna's eyes met Elsa's, and Elsa had never seen them so shiny and delightful, full of joy and happiness. she couldn't help but be so happy for her sister just from that look. Anna, still smiling of joy waved at Elsa frantically. Elsa, already smiling, waved back elegantly.
The festivities then proceeded and continued into the night, Arandelle was full of the sounds of noises and celebrations, everyone joyful and happy about their newly wedded Princess.
Little did they know it was slowly eating away at their queen from the inside.
A few days later, Elsa still
It was after the wedding, Anna insisted that she, you (Elsa atm), Kristoff, and surprisingly Olaf, would take a ride from Kristoff's sled and reindeer, Sven, for a picnic, and maybe camp out for the night. You had everything packed and ready for the trip, of which you were dreading.
Kristoff warned ahead thankfully, that is was a stomach churning and headache causing ride, from the bumpy roads and mountainside you would be ascending. "Yeah... the sled, made for snow doesn't exactly handle rocks and first as well as snow, the ride might make your breakfast end up outside your stomach. Err, and not the usual way either" He suddenly added, sheepishly.
Anna laughed and replied sarcastically "Well, that will make it all the more fun! What better than to bounce around in the back of a sled, clashing heads with your sister?"
You giggle ( atm, sorry guys, you'll be badass soon) and jokingly add in "Oh yeah, better go slow Kristoff, don't want to be hurting your wife and the oh so important and delicate queen now do you? you could get in a lot of trouble for that?" you finish off, partially sounding serious.
Kristoff's smirk leaves his face, and he nervously laughs, not sure of whether your joking or not, he just walks over to the sled to start loading things for the night.
Anna, looking at him walk away, changes her gaze to you, who is currently struggling to stifle a laugh and busts out in hysterical laughter.
After she dies down a bit, she chokes out the words through a giggling fit "H-He thought yo-you were being serious!" Did you see the look on his face?" she continued to laugh loudly and not very royal-like. some of the people around them started to look in curiosity of the boisterous laughing of the princess.
She noticed and suddenly stopped, clearing her throat in the process "Sorry guys, funny memory" She called out, effectively sending them back on heir business.
Kristoff trudged back over to them, slightly disgruntled after lifting some particularly heavy bags of Anna's into the sled and says "Jesus Anna, I don't think you brought enough junk, Sven will be pleased to pull such a light load!" He finished sarcastically. He noticed she was still all giggly then sighed and said "Oh, she's in one of those moods again, welp, we better head out than guys, sun's starting to set and I'm no too great at navigating in the darkness"
You just nod your head and walk over to the sled, hopping into it. Anna settles down next to you, and Kristoff right in the front. Right before you guys leave, you have a begging feeling of forgetful-ness and Anna confirms you're not the only one when she exclaims "Oh! We forgot Olaf!" to then hop out of the sled and run off to where they were supposed to pick him up... "you look at the clock" 2 hours ago.
You curse and say to the obviously partially annoyed Kristoff "Wow, we really aren't going to be able to make it there before night, are you sure this still is a good Idea? There's always tomorrow."
He replies coolly "Nah, I can handle a little dark once we're at the mountain, it's getting there that's hard."
You nod and sit back un-convinced, feeling in your gut something bad is going to happen.
Anna returns shortly later, Olaf in tow... who is currently wearing a Safari hat and sunglasses, of which you have no idea where he got them from. You can't help but laugh at his ridiculous attire, and short, stubby little legs moving so fast to keep up with energetic Anna's fast and hasty speed.
They arrive, climb aboard, Olaf hugs you of which not being able to resist, you hug back. Then the group sets out for the night, not knowing the slightest clue of the fait that awaits them...
And you.
Sorry about that last part's absence of description, I had to hastily finish it before going to the the movies. Well, this is my first chapter, a summary of some events and heading up to your part. My next part *SPOILER ALERT* contains a tragedy saved by you, I already have a few in mind, but review your opinion and maybe what you think could be a good idea. I'm always open for improvement and suggestions. Anyway, hope you enjoyed, and do please review!
