I absolutely suck at summaries especially since there's that annoying character limit. Please don't kill me
The sun was high in the sky with a few clouds starting to blow in from a soft, cool wind. Just from how the wind brushed against my fingers, I could tell. Some sort of storm was going to come soon. With winter only starting a week ago, I was quite positive these clouds would bring in snow instead of rain. But who was I declare that? I was no master in reading weather patterns. Honestly, if I wanted to, I could very easily just make it snow now but to me, there was a bit of a magical feeling that came with the first snow of winter. I couldn't place my finger on it, but there was always this hype and special excitement that would overcome me whenever the first snow of winter would come. I-
"Elsa! Arendelle to Elsa!"
I snapped my head up away from the window I was aimlessly staring at and towards the only possible source of the voice calling to me. Anna.
"I'm sorry, you were saying?"
"I was simply going to ask what you were doing today but I guess it all went through one ear and out the other. Normally I'm the one that's never paying attention. This is odd of you."
I merely rolled my eyes and went back to staring out the window, shrugging. There wasn't anything eventful scheduled for me so really, I didn't have the slightest clue what I was going to do today.
"I don't know, Anna. Since you're asking me, I assume that you have something planned that you want to do."
I could feel slight vibrations from the floor and seconds later I felt my arm being tugged.
"Well since you're not busy, I thought maybe we could build a snowman and-"
"-There's no snow outside. Try suggesting something else."
There was that tugging on my arm again. Did she really have to pull so hard? Sometimes I wonder if she's too strong for her own good.
"But you see that's the great thing about having an older sister with ice powers. She can make it snow and then bam!"
I shook my head at her childish antics. Though she wasn't that much younger than me, she still had the heart of a five year old.
"I want to wait for it to snow naturally before I start playing around with the weather again."
I could a loud groan come from her and I turned my head over to get a glimpse of her. There was a look of absolute dread on her face. I couldn't help but chuckle at the scene.
"Instead of building a snowman, how about we go ice skating? That, I can do without it changing the weather patterns."
A squeal escaped from her lips and she started to slightly bounce in place. It never ceased to amaze me how energetic she could. Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't taught to conceal everything, would I be just as happy and optimistic as Anna?
"Oh this is a great substitution! I'll bring Kristoff and Olaf along as well!"
"Isn't Kristoff working right now?"
Anna's shoulders slumped with a frown starting to grow on her face before it flipped back into a smile.
"It'll be okay. I'll drag him along once he's done working! We're just going to have to wait till afternoon then. Is that alright with you?"
I nodded my head up and down while giving her a small smile.
"Of course it is."
"Great! I'll meet you in the courtyard around four. See you later!"
Anna finally let go of my arm and started walking to a far off hallway to the right. I blinked a few times before opening my mouth again.
"Wait! Where are you going?"
Anna continued walking without turning her head as her voice echoed through the throne room.
"To find Olaf and I don't know… Do something."
Before I could say anything else, she was already far off into the hallway. I sighed and rested myself on the throne and stared blankly at the empty throne room before me. Not a sound could be heard. Though I normally liked the solitude, the silence was starting to make me panic. I don't know why but from time to time whenever I was alone, I'd get this unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. Like there was something terribly wrong. It seemed to happen more often as time went on by.
Ice started forming around where I was sitting on the throne and I quickly shook my head. The only thing that could ever go terribly wrong was if I were to lose it like I did a year ago. And since I never want to relive that again, nothing could possibly go wrong. I'm just being paranoid. At least… That's what I told myself to calm my nerves whenever these feelings of foreboding would occur.
I can't be alone right now. I need some sort of distraction to shake of these absurd feelings. Normally my distractions were either Anna or reading a book of some sort. Seeing as how those two options, weren't going to solve the issue, I thought it best I pay a visit to someone I've grown a certain liking to. The story teller of the kingdom.
No one really knew her name. Some referred to her as a shaman who could tell of things from the past and possibilities of the future. Others called her a total nut job. To me, she was just some odd woman that happened to be very good at story telling.
Though I was still pretty young, I lost all innocence in me a long time ago. Physically, I looked like some young adult that was in the awkward transition from child to full grown adult. But inside, I felt like an old shrewd. It always bothered me that I could never be as carefree as Anna was. It was like there was a switch in me that has yet to be turned on. Anna tells me that once I'm fully comfortable with myself and people in general, I'll be a "social butterfly" as she puts it. But deep down, I don't think I'll ever truly be that.
I can't help but feel that this isn't all for me. I know I was born with this power for a reason and surely it wasn't given to me just so I can sit on a chair all day and tell people what to do. What good is my power then if all I do is discuss things and sign papers all the time?
But never mind that. That's a different issue with myself that I'll deal with another day. Now wasn't the time to add onto my untimely distress. Hopefully, Arendelle's infamous story teller can give me a story that'll make all my worries go away. She was always so good at making them all disappear when nothing else could.
For some reason, whenever I pay her a visit, it's as if a piece of what should have been my inner child comes shining through. There's a bit of glee that courses through my veins whenever I ask her to tell me a story. Whether it's a happy story or a sad one, she never fails to capture all of my attention. I don't know how she does it but there's a certain something in her voice that gives this soothing effect whenever she tells a story.
Maybe if I visit her enough, she'll finally reveal to me something about herself. She was always so secretive of herself and I never understood why.
While walking through the city, I'd get greetings from almost everyone I passed. Happy smiles were plastered on their faces. How these people were genuinely happy to see me after nearly freezing them all to death a year ago is forever a mystery. Even after all the mistakes I've made, they were still so kind. I truly think I'm a lucky queen to have such forgiving and understanding subjects.
After ten minutes of walking through the city and getting stopped a few times from several townsmen, I finally reached my destination. It was a brown stone house near the docks with some strange writing on the door I've never been able to read.
I gave the door a few knocks before it slowly slid open.
"Oh queen Elsa. What a pleasant surprise. Come in, come in!"
I quickly walked through the door and straightened myself up.
"So what do I owe this visit? Are you here to hear a story?"
A tiny smile started to form from my lips. It was a little routine her and I would always do after I visited her for what seemed like the hundredth time. I'd pay her a visit and she'd act like this was my first time ever coming by.
"Yes. I'm in dire need of a story that'll lift my mood."
She walked over to her armchair that she always sat on whenever she was telling a story and I sat on the rug that was near her feet. She used to always insist that I sit in a chair as well but to me, sitting on the floor felt more appropriate. It added to the whole bringing out my inner child experience that I desperately wanted.
"A happy one you say. How about the story of Saint Nicholas? You always liked that one."
I shook my head.
"No. I'm not in the mood for Christmas related things just yet."
"How about the story of the Easter Bunny then?"
I shook my head again.
"Not that one either."
"The sandman?"
I sighed in frustration over the options she presented to me. I've heard them all countless times. They were some of my favorites that she would retell to me whenever I wanted to escape the troubles of the adult world. As much as I loved them, I wasn't in much of a mood to listen to a story I've already heard.
"Don't you have a story like theirs that you haven't told me yet? I want to hear something new."
The woman paused for a bit as she was in deep thought. She looked towards the window and I followed her gaze. More clouds were rolling in. The sun was barely visible. Looks like that storm I predicted is coming sooner than I thought.
She quickly shift her gaze towards me and then back to window. She switched between me and the window for a few moments until her eyes set on me with a large grin growing on her face.
"Tell me Elsa, have you ever heard of the story of Jack Frost?"
A/N: My shipping heart couldn't take it any longer. There weren't enough Jelsa fanfics to satisfy my shipping needs so I thought, "why can't I write something too?" I saw no harm in it. I just needed to come up with an idea. Let me just warn you now, it's going to be a little out of the box at some point and also cliché at the same time. But eh, I love cliché stories so I hope you guys do too. Then again, I'm not really that great at writing. I just have an odd imagination at times. But if you do happen to stumble upon this, it would be wonderful if you like leave opinions even though there isn't really much of an opinion to be left since this is only the first chapter. Isdjgodsigsgfr I excited. I hope you all will be too. Alright I need to stop talking. Bai, bai until the next update~
