A/N - I know this isn't a Twilight fic like my others but I'm into Frozen at the moment so I thought I'd write this little fic. Chapters will be short for now as I really have no time to write lately as of my finals.
Thanks you for all the support and taking the time to read my stories.
Enjoy!
Anna POV
It was the middle of winter in Arendelle and I sat alone in my house. My sister hadn't returned from her trip to fetch firewood yet and it was getting very dark outside.
Elsa, my sister, had left with a kiss to my cheek and a promise that she would be home by sunset. It was nearly eight o' clock and I was panicking wildly. For a few hours I had sat at our small dining table and read a book whilst sipping cocoa. It had quickly neared sunset and for the last few hours I had been perched at the window, praying that Elsa would shuffle past the window and through the door, breathing out apologies and hurrying out an excuse as to why she was so late.
Maybe someone from the village had stopped to talk to her? Maybe there was a long queue for firewood? That wouldn't be surprising, seeing as it was the middle of winter and everyone needed the warmth. But the firewood shop closed at five each night so my panic was not calmed by these thoughts.
With a sigh I looked out of the window again, silently hoping I would spot Elsa making her way towards our small house on the outskirts of Arendelle. There was no sign of her.
We had lived in this house since our parents had been killed in a shipwreck a few years ago and we had looked out for each other ever since. Elsa was the head of the house, as she was the oldest and heir to our parents estate. What little of it there was. She was a lovely big sister, who cared not only for me but for everyone else around her.
She was achingly beautiful too; Her hair was the thickest and most beautiful shade of blonde I had ever seen but she kept it in a long plait during the day. Her eyes were a stunning blue colour; as blue as the ocean or early evening skies. She had beautiful ivory skin that made her look delicate and elegant as it made her long neck stand out and outlined her cheekbones beautifully. Her simple pale blue dresses accented her womanly figure effortlessly and although I adored her, I couldn't help but feel jealous at all the male attention she attracted with her looks.
I was the plainest girl alive. My hair was vividly orange, which I detested heavily. I always plaited it to keep it out of my way. My eyes were also blue, but not nearly as beautiful as Elsa's. Mine were duller than the mist that hung over Arendelle during the autumn. My body was scrawny and lacking in development, which I also hated. Elsa had a full chest, which enhanced her womanly features, where as mine was barely noticeable. My legs were thin and constantly bruised with how clumsy I was, forever tripping over flat surfaces. Even my name was ridiculous, - Anna - it was so boring and ineloquent. Elsa constantly comforted me that I was beautiful to her, which was sweet, but I couldn't help but wish I was beautiful to others. People made fun of my ginger hair constantly and never looked my way if Elsa was around.
The wind howled outside the window, causing the snowflakes that were falling to whirl in great, unwieldy circles. The two foot deep carpet of snow was rising higher with each sheet of snow that fell.
She could just be having difficulty carrying the wood through the thick snow?
It was rational enough; winter's in Arendelle were always severe and walking through heavy snow was not a simple task. I just hoped she had bundled up warmly enough. I shivered at the thought of her turning blue with cold, shuddering against the wind, her long blonde hair swept round her face.
Without thinking, I grabbed my winter shawl and pulled on my boots. I left a note on the table, should Elsa return before I could find her.
When I stepped out into the storm, the wind that blasted my face immediately made me want to rush back inside, but I couldn't leave my sister out here alone to carry the wood.
I had to find her.
I will post a few chapters tonight so leave me your thoughts :)
