Howdy, and welcome to my very first Jelsa fanfiction! Oh boyyyy am I exited to finally get to write this one, and just in case y'all didn't read the summary and was like "who cares I'm just gonna read this," I have a surprise for you! Lets kick it off by saying this fic is placed in an alternate universe, so basically take every place and backstory you've seen in the movies and throw it out the window! The only thing I'm keeping here is the characters. Also this fic will get kinda dark...Okay maybe VERY dark, but only at some parts. Not to mention this chapter might be a bit dark, so if y'all aren't up to it I would recommend not reading it. Though I would still give it a try, ya never know...you might actually like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Rise of the Guardians or Frozen!

Chapter 1: How it happened

Elsa slowly walked to work. Her leather boots clanking on the cobblestone street, and she said an ocassonal hello to a passing person. Elsa made sure to walk slow, like usual, so she could enjoy the beautiful fall morning. Snow lightly fell, dotting the ground with white, and it contrasted against the browns, reds, and yellows of fall. Elsa looked up to the sky, it reminded her of what it looked like the day she had to leave home. She looked back to the ground, and whipped her eyes before tears could stain her cheeks. Elsa remembered the day like it was yesterday, the wound still fresh on her heart:

Snow fell softly on the ground as Elsa and Anna ran to go play outside. Their father had told them that they were not permitted in the estate, due to another nobleman visiting. Anna and Elsa did not complain, it was the first snow and they couldn't wait to play. Anna had a wool dress on with a thick cloak, and heavy wool gloves. Elsa on the other hand had on a light wool dress, along with her thick leather gloves. Though it had barely snowed Anna's teeth chattered in the cold wind, and Elsa laughed.

"E-elsa how are you not freezing?! It's s-so c-cold!"

Elsa giggled at her sisters remark, "I told you Anna...I'm just not bothered by it."

"Well lucky you, I'm just over here freezing my butt off!"

Elsa ran and jumped on top of her sister, "E-elsa!"

They both fell to the ground with a thud. Elsa could not contain her laughter, while Anna laid under her with a pout on her face.

"Oh come on! Who cares if its cold Anna, let's just have some fun!"

Elsa got up, off her sister, and held out her hand to Anna. She looked up for a second, a pout still visible, but it slowly turned into a smile. Anna grabbed her hand and was hoisted up to her feet.

"Jeez Elsa, I can't stay mad at you, but I can get u back!"

Elsa, who had started to walk back to get her sisters cloak that had fallen off, looked back in confusion.

"What do you mean by get me ba-"

Before she could finish her sentence Anna had thrown a snowball directly into Elsa's face. She batted the snow out of her eyes to see Anna sticking her tongue and doing a silly dance.

A playful smirk appeared across Elsa's face, "oh you're on!"

The two sisters started throwing a bombardment of snowballs at each other. Even though Elsa had an advantage Anna did exceptionally well with countering her attacks, after all they have been doing this all their life, it made sense why Anna was so good at it.

As the sun set lower and lower in the sky the two girls grew tired, their arms loosely throwing their snowballs, which barely even made it a foot in front of them. The two girls dropped to the ground in unison, giggling.

"Ugh, Anna, I'm sooooo tired!"

"yeah me too, how about we go in and see if dinner is ready, I heard that we'd be having rabbit stew tonight!"

Elsa jumped to her feet, "that's my favorite!"

"Yeah! We also better get home before its dark, or mom will start to worry" said Anna, who was now also on her feet.

They both started to walk bad to their estate, a large castle like house. Anna and Elsa had not strayed too far from it, but they had gone far enough to where they could only see the top portion of it through the trees.

As they reached the edge of the forest the estate came into view, along with the sweet scent of dinner.

Elsa sniffed the air and sighed happily "ahhhh, Anna do you smell that? It's the delicious scent of rabbit stew!"

Anna laughed, "Elsa, I think you love it a little TOO much."

Elsa scoffed, "oh please Anna, there's no such thing as loving something too much. Besides its also very good for you, it has a lot of vegetabl-"

Elsa was yanked back by her hair, and a yell escaped her lips. She looked frantically around to see Anna also being held. Her eyes then traces up to their attacker, it looked to be a man in his fifties. He had grating brown hair, green eyes, and an expensive petticoat on. This man looked very familiar, like Elsa had just seen him this morning.

She sucked in her breath as she remembered...this man...he's the nobleman her father was supposed to meet with...Sir Gregory Paine. Shock rippled through Elsa as she looked to the man, he was obviously trying to hurt them, but for what reason?

Sir Gregory slowly pulled them back into the canopy of the trees where no one would be able to see them. Anna started to kick and scream, but before she could yell for help he stuffed a gag into both Elsa and Anna's mouths.

Tears started to pour down Anna's face, as she continued to kick and muffle a scream. Elsa was too scared to kick or scream, her eyes were wide...filled with terror.

'Whats going to happen to me, and more importantly, what's going to happen to Anna?!' She though.

The man stopped moving and began to tie Anna's hands and feet together. Elsa jumped on Sir Gregor, clawing at his neck, wherever there was bare skin. He grunted and grabbed Elsa by the neck, and threw her at a nearby tree.

Anna screamed as Elsa hit the bark of the tree. As Elsa hit the tree and fell to the ground she gasped for breath, having just gotten the breath knocked out of her.

Sir Gregor turned back to Anna and continued to tie her up, "now you're a tough one, that one over there didn't give a good fight. I like those ones the best."

Anna watched in terror as Sir Gregory walked towards Elsa, a wicked grin on his face. Elsa slowly regained her breathing, just in time to find that Sir Gregory was over her, casting a shadow over her body.

Elsa quickly jumped up and ran as fast as she could towards the estate. She was right at the tree line, ready to break free, but she tripped and fell to the ground. Her gloves had also fallen off. Elsa frantically tried to get her gloves, but before she could grab them Sir Gregory grasped her and turned her over, her back to the ground. Sir Gregory leaned down on top of Elsa, and he licked his lips.

"What a cute little thing you are, girl. After I'm done with you I'm going to your sister, be a good girl and not tell your father about this, okay?"

Elsa kicked and tried to get up, but under the mans weight she could do nothing except watch in horror of what he was about to do. Well, there was one thing she could do, but it would be risky. Comparing it to what Sir Gregory is about to do though, it's the better option. To save both Elsa and Anna.

Elsa screamed as Sir Gregory started to slowly rip her clothes off. 'No, no, NO!' Elsa though as she used all the strength she had left to blast him off of her with her ice powers.

Elsa quickly got up and ran to go help Anna while Sir Gregory laid on the ground in shock. He slowly got up and looked back towards the two sisters, and then to the estate. He smirked and and got up, dusting the snow off of his clothes.

As soon as Elsa got to Anna she told the gag out of her mouth and materialized an ice dagger in her hand, cutting the ropes that bound Anna.

"E-Elsa you're not supposed to be using your powers!" Exclaimed Anna.

Elsa looked at her sadly "I-I know, but I had to. I had to protect myself, and you too"

Anna nodded solemnly, "I know Elsa...its just..he's going to tell someone, and you could get in a lot of trouble."

"it's okay, I-I'll leave tonight."

"What!? Y-you can't leave! We can still hide you, and if we tell dad what he tried to do to u-"

Elsa shook her head "no, Anna, I have to leave. E-even if I do tell dad, h-he'll probably lock me up somewhere. I don't want to live like that.

"E-Elsa..."

Elsa held out her hand, and Anna grabbed it "come on Anna, let's go home."

They both walked home in silence, the sky had already turned dark. Owls hooted in the dark, along with the occasional rustling of a bush.

As Elsa made it to the door she hesitated. Voices could be faintly heard from outside, and Elsa could only hope they weren't talking about her. She looked back to Anna, who smiled sadly. Elsa turned back towards the door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open.

Elsa blinked continuously as to readjust her eyes to the brightness. Standing a few feet in front of her was her father and Sor Gregory, speaking in a low whisper. She watched as her father sucked in his breath at the sight of her, a distant look in his eyes.

Elsa slowly took a step forward, she fiddled with her fingers aand looked towards the ground "hello, father."

Agnarr walked towards his daughter slowly and stopped in front of her. The truth had finally gotten out, and it would cost him greatly to keep this secret.

He sighed and looked towards Sir Gregory, "my apologies for what my daughter has done, is there ANY way I can pay you back to keep this a secret?"

Sir Gregory though for a moment, "well...I expect a large amount of money, along with the marriage of your youngest daughter, to my youngest son. When they are of age, of course."

Anna rushed to her father, "y-you can't let him do that! He's the one who tried to hurt Elsa and I!"

Sir Gregory laughed, "me? Oh I couldn't even hurt a fly. Your father and I have been on good terms for trade for quite a while, he knows I wouldn't EVER try to hurt sweet girls like you."

Elsa stared at him coldly, "you should have seen what he was going to do to us! If I hadn't used my powers then Anna and I...we'd be..."

"Enough!"

Elsa looked to her father, startled, "w-what?"

"You two need to stop...Sir Gregory...A moment alone with my children...please?"

He nodded "of course," and walked into the other room.

Angarr rubbed his temples and sighed "Elsa...Listen...I hate to say this but, you knew the consequences once someone finds out about your power. I just I don't-"

Elsa stood up straighter "I know, and I took the risk. So I'm ready to face what comes next. I'll leave after I pack my stuff."

"Elsa I-"

"No...it's fine."

Elsa looked to Anna, tears falling down her cheeks "Anna I'm...im sorry I got you into that engagement...it's...it's all my fau-"

Anna ran up and hugged Elsa, tears now wet her cheeks too "No Elsa, it's not your fault. I don't care about the engagement, and PLEASE do not blame yourself."

Elsa nodded, "okay."

She let go of Anna and stayed silent for a moment, and then she started to walk up the stairs to her room. She packed everything she needed, and left, not uttering a word to anyone as she went.

Elsa shuddered as she remembered the awful memory of her childhood. That had been six years ago, when she was fourteen. Even after all that time she still has not been able to get over the pain.

Elsa stopped in front of a large tavern. Many travelers walked in and out, either sober or completely wasted. Elsa signed, looks like it's going to be another great day of work.
