A/N: So really wanted to try my hand at a watching the movie fanfiction because I like them and there isn't many of them. My new favourite movie is Frozen so I thought 'why not?' and I'm considering doing other watching the Disney movies like Tangled, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Narnia, Lilo and Stitch and maybe other movies like Hotel Transylvania and watching Pretty Little Liars season 1, maybe a watching the first couple of seasons of Winx Club and along with the first movie or something. I'll see how it goes. However, I hope people start to want to write these types as well!
Last note, happy new year! And obviously, there are spoilers for Frozen and also for Tangled. I own nothing. I hope the characters aren't OOC! Please tell me if they are.
Anna beamed brightly as she heard her sister speak, although it took a second for Elsa's words to register.
"Hi me? Oh, hi." She said, stumbling over her words.
"You look beautiful." Her sister complimented her. ...What? Anna's brain searched for words, coming up fruitless every time. How long had it been since she'd probably seen her sister? Years? Or maybe a decade? She had no clue and she could make a great impression on her now, show her that she wasn't that nagging little sister anymore.
"T-Thank you. I mean you look beautiful-ier, more beautiful."
But all that came out was nervous babble. Great. Shocked, sudden gasps came from everybody else in the room. Oh, was that pimple showing? It better not be, she'd spent half an hour trying to pop it this morning!
Instead large rocks rolled through the parting crowd towards Anna and her sister. Demon rocks! Anna screamed and Elsa wrapped her gloved hand around her mouth.
"They're trolls." She told her. Anna nodded, blushing.
"I'm sorry." She muttered and her sister cast her a grin. The rocks unfurled into minute beings with grey bodies, elephant-like legs, stumpy looking arms and hands and mossy clothes decorated with glowing crystal necklaces. They all had small but bright, curious eyes and sweet smiles. Their noses and ears were considerably larger that made them out of proportion with their bodies, their hair seemed to be thick blades of grass. One of the trolls with pink crystals turned to the doorway and coughed. Nothing.
"Where is that boy?" She grumbled, turning into a rock and rolling out of the hall.
"Er..." Anna couldn't help but react.
The troll in the centre of the small group, one with many more crystals than the others (these ones, yellow), dark blonde mane-like hair and bushy eyebrows. A flowing cloak made of grass around his shoulders.
"Her son, he's not much of a people person." The troll grumbled in a low, old voice as the female troll came back in, walking this time and dragging a very human-looking person with her. A young man with blonde, shaggy hair and pale skin, his wintery mountain garb looking out of place in the palace in the middle of summer.
"I'm sorry about him, your majesty." The female troll apologised. "He can be such a handful sometimes."
"I told you, I'm not allowed in here." He said and the troll waved him off.
"He's your son?" Anna couldn't stop herself from asking as she inwardly cringed.
"Found him all by his own when he was young and-" The bright-eyed troll replied, getting cut off by the elderly troll.
"That's not why we're here, your majesties. I have news to deliver about the fate of Arendelle. Would you be able to get some chairs for everyone?"
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was sat down on the chairs from the dining room, that had been shuffled in, and Anna was sat next to a visiting princess with a spiky brown pixie cut. Anna remembered greeting her but what was her name again? It was a long, strange name but she couldn't remember. The young princess turned to her, her large green eyes were bright and freckles decorated her slender nose.
"Hi." She chirped.
"Hi..." Anna wrecked her brains for a name, any name. The young princess giggled.
"Rapunzel." She reminded her.
"Right." Anna said. "Anna. Of Arendelle."
"Corona. And this is my husband, Eugene." Rapunzel beamed, grabbing the arm of the young man next to her. Eugene smiled, obviously used to his wife's behaviour. He looked quite a bit older than her, shorter than some of the other men here but more handsome with short dark brown hair that fell into his light brown eyes when Rapunzel tugged on his arm and a scruffy dark brown goatee.
"Hey. I'd like to formally apologise for my wife's incredibly forward behaviour." He told them as Anna heard Elsa's giggle at the pair's behaviour.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Elsa greeted them but a question rose to Anna's lips as she remembered the one summer she had visited Corona with her father.
"Weren't you blonde?" The question burst from her lips before she could think of a more polite way to phrase it and Elsa elbowed her sharply in the side. Rapunzel blushed.
"It's a long story."
"A long, long, story." Eugene agreed with cheeky smile. "How long was it again, Blondie?"
Rapunzel rolled her eyes. "Seventy feet."
"Huh?" Anna questioned, completely lost.
"I'll explain when we can talk." The brown-haired girl replied as the elder troll created a large glowing, rectangle in the air. Loud gasps came from the royal crowd.
"Sorcery!" The Duke of Weselton accused loudly.
"He's a troll. It's not sorcery!" Another male voice accused, the young man who the female troll had dragged in earlier placed his chair down behind her and Elsa and grumpily sat down on it.
"Don't want to be here?" She asked.
"Is it that obvious?" He replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Well, if you're going to be rude-" Anna started but was cut off by the elder troll addressing his royal audience.
"This magic will project a vision about the fate of Arendelle." He explained as the magic began to take form and the whispers echoing through the hall began to quieten down.
'Male voices began to sing a Norwegian chant as beautifully sculpted snowflakes blissfully fell and spun. One particular snowflake glowed a pale blue as the word 'Frozen' was revealed, the snowflake in the middle of the 'o'.'
"Frozen?" Anna whispered to Elsa who immediately 'shh'ed her, a look of pure fear written all over her face.
'Everything slowly faded into ice. A blurry man walked across it and plunged his saw into the ice, cutting a line through it. Ice harvesters were hard at work, singing to pass the time as they cut off blocks of ice and moved it down to one another.
"Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining...
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining.
So cut through the heart, cold and clear
Strike for love and strike for fear."
A small, blonde haired boy and a baby reindeer walked alongside the towering men, a tiny piece of equipment over his shoulder, as he gave the reindeer a carrot. He took a bit before the young boy did.'
"Oh, my God." Anna heard the boy sat behind her groan.
"Aww." She whispered. "Is that you?"
"So?" He shrugged it off.
"I, I was just asking." She replied.
"I would prefer it if you didn't."
"So you're an ice harvester?" She enquired.
"No, I was there for fun." He countered.
"Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." She grumbled.
'The men continued to their work and their song.
"See the beauty, sharp and sheer
Split the ice apart!
And break the frozen heart."
The young boy skidded around on the ice for a moment before marching off with the rest of the men, a proud look on his face as his reindeer trotted off after him.
"Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!" The men sang and completely ignored the little boy, who was obviously struggling to lift his small block of ice of the water. Beautiful!
"Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Powerful!
Dangerous!
Cold!"
The men worked into the night, gathering large blocks of ice with their tools and horses while the little boy still struggling to lift that single block of ice."Ice has a magic, can't be controlled. Hyup!
Stronger than one! Stronger than ten!
Stronger than a hundred men!
Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining!
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining!"
The men worked through the night, the icy mountains lit only by glowing lanterns as they smashed at ice blocks with pick-axes. Finally the young boy managed to lift the ice out of the water, falling backwards with the weight of it.
"Cut through the heart, cold and clear!
Strike for love and strike for fear!
There's beauty and there's danger here
Split the ice apart!
Beware the frozen heart..."
The men lifted their own blocks, of which there was many, onto their large sleigh that they all jumped onto and rode away. The young boy placed his block of ice onto his tiny sled and sat on it as the minute reindeer pulled it, chasing after the men, and into the Northern Lights.
"Come on, Sven." The little boy encouraged.
The beautiful blue Northern Lights lit up the vision as they swirled in the sky. But soon the castle of Arendelle became the focus. A dark room lit by the Northern Lights, glowing through the large window. A six year old white-blonde girl laid fast asleep in bed. A head of auburn hair popped up from behind the bed.
"Elsa?" A small voice whispered."
"No." Elsa said. "No." She repeated it louder.
"What's wrong?" Anna asked as she watched her sister begin to freak out.
"T-they can't show this." She replied.
"They are. What's wrong?"
"N-nothing, but they-they just can't, okay?" Elsa told her. Rapunzel edged her away around Anna.
"How about you and me talk? In private?" She asked and not giving Elsa time to reply, she escorted the queen out into the hallway, calling back from them to pause it until they got back.
"What's wrong?" The brown haired girl asked.
"I-I can't say."
Rapunzel smiled. "Sure, you can. Here, I'll say my secret first. I used to have seventy feet of magic blonde hair that glowed when I sing."
It worked, Elsa's freak out paused. "What happened?"
"Eugene cut my hair to save me. It goes brown when it's cut and it doesn't grow either. I've got this hair forever." She shrugged. "I'm glad it got cut. You have no idea how heavy seventy feet of hair is."
"W-what could it do?" She asked, a tiny bit of hope in her voice.
"Healed people, made them younger, that sort of thing." She replied sheepishly.
"I create ice and snow." Elsa admitted and a huge weight came off her chest. She'd finally said it out loud!
"Really? That's so amazing." Rapunzel grinned.
"Not really. I don't dare touch anybody or anything. My father always told me to wear gloves to stop it."
"Maybe it's time everybody knew? Me and Eugene won't let anybody hurt you. I can tell your sister won't and those trolls won't let anyone either."
"Anna doesn't know and you're about to see why." Elsa told her.
"People make progress, Elsa. Now, come on." Rapunzel said as she took her hand and led her back into the hall, where the vision started to play again.
'"Psst." The young Anna whispered, climbing onto Elsa's bed. "Elsa." She started to shake her sleeping sister. "Wake up, wake up." '
Laughter came from the adults in the room as Anna blushed and sank in her chair. Rapunzel whispered something to Eugene and moved her chair to the other side of Elsa. She took her gloved hand.
"It'll be alright." She whispered to the queen.
' "Wake up." Anna continued to shake her sister.
Elsa groaned, cracking open a single eye. "Anna... Go back to sleep."
The young Anna sighed and turned around; flopping onto her sister's sleeping form. "I just can't. The sky's awake." She complained dramatically. "So I'm awake. So we have to play."
The young Elsa peeked at Anna before shoving her off of her bed. "Go play by yourself."
The little girl landed on her butt and thought for a moment before smiling to herself and scrambling back onto her older sister's bed. She pulled one of Elsa's eyelid's open.
"Do you want to build a snowman?" She asked and Elsa, now fully awake, smiled. The two of them ran down the stairs, Elsa 'shh'-ing her younger sister. The two of them ran into the ballroom and shut the door behind them.
Anna grabbed Elsa's hand and spun her closer. "Do the magic," she giggled. "Do the magic." '
"Magic?" Anna asked, turning to Elsa. She got no reply. Her usually-regal sister was staring at the floor with a sad expression. Rapunzel was comforting her, holding a single gloved hand. Murmurs filled the room.
'Elsa made some hand movements and glittering blue snowflakes formed in her hands, creating a snowball.
'Oh.' Anna said in awe, her young eyes wide with wonder.'
Every single head, including Anna's, turned to look at Elsa who was still being comforted by Rapunzel. Silence echoed through the hall until Anna broke it.
"Why didn't I know about this?"
Elsa swallowed and looked up to meet her sister's betrayed eyes. "Dad didn't want you to know." She replied hoarsely, as she tried desperately to keep herself from feeling her sadness. "Y-you'll find out why." She hiccupped.
'Elsa threw the snowball up into the air, it exploded into a million snowflakes that floated gently down to the ground.
"This is amazing!" Young Anna cheered and giggled.
"Watch this!" Elsa told her younger sister and she stepped on a snowflake. Some of the surrounding floor gained a layer of ice. The two of them glided along the floor for a second. The two of them began to make a snowman. It was oddly shaped with a peanut-like shaped head. Elsa turned to the snowman round to face Anna.
"Hi, I'm Olaf." She said, putting on a deep voice and messing around the branch arms. "And I like warm hugs."
Little Anna giggled and clapped as she jumped off of her seat and hugged the snowman. "I love you Olaf."'
"I remember that." Anna whispered to herself. But she remembered it differently... It was the middle of winter, in the day, in her memories... Why wasn't she remembering it correctly? What had happened? Had something happened to her?!
'The two girls skated around the hall, with Elsa's abilities propelling them, as they laughed loudly. They slid down a large mound of snow as Anna giggled.
"That tickles."
Anna landed in another large pile of snow, beginning to throw it around when she popped up. She jumped and Elsa smiled, creating another large mound of snow beneath her sister.
"Hang on." She called.
Anna kept jumping and Elsa kept creating mounds of snow to catch her until she started to jump too fast.
"Wait." Elsa told her. Anna didn't. "Slow down."
Anna didn't. Elsa slipped on the ice and Anna jumped again. Elsa shot out another blast of snow to catch her but misjudged her aim, hitting her sister in the head and leaving her out cold. She landed on one of the snow mounds and slid down it. Elsa had a horrified expression and tears in her eyes as she stared at her sister for a moment before getting up and running to her. She picked up her head and rested it in her lap.
"Anna!"
A single streak of white appeared in Anna's hair.'
Anna touched the streak unconsciously as the crowd in the hall muttered amongst themselves. This is what happened? She was fine! There was nothing wrong with her and Elsa hadn't meant it. She never would have meant to do anything like that – she-she wasn't like that!
'"Mama! Papa!" The young Elsa cried out as tears poured down her face. She hugged Anna closer to her as thick ice began to spread around them, covering them entire floor and destroying Olaf before going on to coat the walls and ceiling.
"You're okay, Anna." Elsa insisted, hugged her sister closer to her. "I got you."
The double doors were pushed open by the King and Queen. They glanced quickly around the room before the King's gaze settled down on his eldest daughter.
"Elsa, what have you done?" He demanded, seemingly ignorant of his daughter's distress for a moment before the Queen noticed and ran forward, her husband closely following her. "This is getting out of hand."
"It was an accident." She replied, looking back down at Anna. "I'm sorry, Anna." She said, hugging her even closer. The Queen took Anna from her, gasping.
"She's ice cold."'
Anna stared at Elsa. She was still watching the floor. It was an accident, she hadn't meant it. Was this why her sister was isolated? Why? It was beautiful.
The King stared at his youngest in concern. "I know where we have to go." He told his wife. He searched through his library for the correct book, skimming the titles until he found the correct one. He opened it to the page of a creepy-looking silhouette holding its hands out, an unconscious person before him with blue smoke rising from their head. A map floated out of the book.
The King and Queen rode out of the castle on horses. Anna in her mother's lap, Elsa in her father's. Elsa left a trail of ice behind them as they galloped into the forest. The young blonde boy was riding through the forest, still on his block of ice, with the baby reindeer as the two horses came through in a mad dash. The young boy saw the ice, his face filled with wonder.
"Ice?" He asked the reindeer, his eyes following the trail. He galloped after the ice trail on the small reindeer.
"Faster, Sven." He encouraged him. He leapt off when they got to some large rocks and they began to climb them. They peeked over the rocks to see the King and Queen, Elsa and an unconscious Anna in the middle of the valley, filled with rocks.'
Anna shared a glance with the blonde boy behind her before they both turned away.
'"Please help." The King called out. "My daughter..."
Suddenly the rocks began to move and roll down the valley towards the four people. The young boy gasped and ducked his head down. Elsa clung to her mother. The rocks unfurled themselves, revealing them to be trolls with concerned eyes.
"It's the king." One whispered.
"Trolls?" The young boy questioned as the rock he was leaning on unfurled itself, revealing a female troll.
"Shh." She told him, grabbing his collar and pulling him and Sven down beside her. "I'm trying to listen." She glanced them and hugged them closer. "Cuties. I'm gunna keep you." She told them. The elderly troll made his way to the King.
"Your majesty," He greeted him before he took one of Elsa's hands. "Born with the powers or cursed?"
The King looked flustered for a moment. "Er... Born. And they're getting stronger." He replied.
The elderly troll motioned towards the Queen, who bent down, so he could get a proper look at Anna. He placed a hand on her head.
"You are lucky it wasn't her heart." He informed them. "The heart is not so easily changed. But the head can be persuaded." He said with some shoulder and hand movements.
"Do what you must." The King told the troll.
"I recommend removing all magic." He told him, taking his hand off of Anna's head and blue glittering smoke, formed memories in front of them. Anna and Elsa in the hall as Elsa pushed Anna off of a snow mound with magic became Elsa pushing Anna on a sled in winter. "Even memories of magic. To be safe." The memory of Anna and Elsa gliding along the iced floor of the hall became the two of them ice-skating. The two of them looking at Olaf changed to the middle of winter. "But don't worry, I'll leave the fun."
The troll curled the smoke back up into a ball and placed it back inside Anna's head. "She'll be okay." He told them, stepping back. Anna smiled in her sleep. The Queen hugged her daughter close.
"But she won't remember I have powers?" Elsa asked him.
"It's for the best." Her father answered.
"Listen to me, Elsa." The elderly troll said, taking one of Elsa's hands. "Your power will only grow." He made a hand-gesture, blue smoke rising appearing in the air above them, a silhouette of a young woman creating snowflakes as two people watched. "There is beauty in it." The image changed to a giant, glittering snowflake. "But also great danger." The blue snowflake exploded into red.
Elsa gasped, her eyes horrified and wide as she took in the red lights.
"You must learn to control it." He told her. "Fear will be your enemy." Red, smoky figures leapt at the glittering blue one, destroying it as the smoke evaporated. Elsa gasped again, hugging her father tightly. He wrapped a hand around her shoulder and pulling her close.
"We'll protect her." The King insisted to his wife before turning to the elderly troll. "She can learn to control it, I'm sure. Till then, lock the gates."
The large castle gates were slammed shut; a servant shut the windows as the King's voice continued.
"We'll reduce the staff."
A woman shut another set of doors.
"We'll limit her contact with people."
In Elsa and Anna's room, Elsa's things faded into nothing as a young Anna sat alone on her large bed.
"We'll keep her powers hidden from everyone."
Young Anna jumped off of her bed and raced out of her room, down the hall to a room with blue patterning on it.
"Including Anna."
Anna watched with hurt in her eyes, as her elder sister disappeared into the room and shut the door behind her, not looking at her. Anna's eyes grew wider and her breathing shallower as she tried to comprehend her sister's isolation. She looked down at her hands sadly, her lips beginning to twitch with tears.'
Elsa ripped her hands out of Rapunzel's and ran from the hall, every single person looking after her. Rapunzel made to get up and follow but Anna shot up out of her seat, tears swimming in her eyes.
"I'll go." She told her and ran after her sister. She needed to help her but she also needed to confront her. She breathed deeply as she entered the empty. She had to be ready. 'Oh, this is going to be horrible.' She thought, wiping away her now-falling tears.
