Another Frozen fanfic! This is going to be a short series that i'm going to be writing. I'm thinking that this would be only at most 8 chapters, but plans change and who knows how long it will be. Updates are going to be slow, you have been warned.

Please review if I have any spelling or grammatical errors, so that I may be informed! I would also like it if you could tell me what you think about this. Hope it isn't too bad

Also I'm not sure if every chapters are going to be this long.

Disclaimers: I don't own Frozen.

Kristoff glared at the piece of paper in his hand. Over the past year he had different orders varying from small to big. For most he did not deliver them himself. Him being the official ice harvester and deliver of Arendelle, had made him the overseer of the all the ice harvesting and delivering in country, which meant that he had people who did the harvesting and delivering for him. Of course he had his fair share of harvesting and delivering, but often times he would be signing bills and orders that came to him. But from time to time big orders from far away off places would come in, and these he had to accompany himself to make sure nothing would grow wrong, and he by far hated orders like those.

Which was the exact reason why he was hesitating to accept the order in his hand. For one Graimlin was a five days trip from castle Arendelle. He would need at least good 15 men to help him with the travel. Of course the reward at the end made to deal worth it for many, but it still was ten days trip there and back. Which meant ten days away from Anna. As immature the reason sounded it was one of his main reasons why he hated trips like these. Still he always ended up doing the order anyway. Anna would have nothing of him refusing an order because he didn't want to leave her. One time she had even said that she would do it herself if he wasn't going to. Much to the surprise of Kristoff.

Of course those weren't his only reasons, His other big reason was the fact that he won't be able to take Sven on this trip. Due to unforeseen circumstance Sven became a father few days back. And that meant that he needed to be here for at least a few days. If they were short on reindeer's Sven wouldn't have been given any slack but since they had an abundant source of reindeer's, it didn't matter too much.

Kristoff sighed as he unwillingly signed the order and accepted the fact that he was going have to do it one way or another. Fortunately if you have a ice queen as the ruler, unlike before there is no problem with them melting on the way even if the weather suddenly became warm.

Kristoff rubbed his face tiredly. Still it was a few days from now so he had some time to spend his time with Anna before leaving. So for now he wasn't going to worry about it.

Kristoff rubbed the back off his neck nervously as he stood in the middle of The queen's study room. Unfortunately for him, the days flew by. It only felt like yesterday that he had gotten the letter, but now with the delivery day around the corner, he had quite a few things to do. Which was the reason why he was standing in the study room with sheets of paper ready to be signed by the queen. But at the moment Elsa was speaking to Kai and had failed to notice him.

Kristoff didn't know how long he waited before finally speaking up to inform her of his presence, but he was pretty sure it was quite some time. "Excuse me your majesty..." Kristoff said barely above a whisper.

"Oh, Kristoff, I didn't see you there," Elsa replied as she dismissed Kai with a wave of a hand. "What can I help you with?"

"Just some papers you need sign for the trip tomorrow. Just standard procedures," Kristoff answered.

"Let's get this over with then," Elsa replied as she took Kristoff's papers and started read them over. "Upon signing this paper you hereby..."

"I'm pretty sure the contract is now is no different from the last one," Kristoff told Elsa.

"Just want to make sure, don't want to sign something I didn't read you know."

Kristoff nodded understandingly, "I hope I wasn't interrupted anything when I came in."

"Of course not," Elsa replied dismissively and continued to read over the contract.

Kristoff awkwardly fidgeted under the suffocating silence that ensured afterwards. His relationship with Elsa, even after a course of an year was awkward. He didn't dislike Elsa, it was quite the contrary. But it was still awkward, they never had much to relate with each other. It was surprising really, you would think that after an year of living under the same roof would bring them quite close.

Quite frankly he was sure that the reason why they were so awkward was more to the fact that they never tried to get friendly with each other. They never found the need, they barely ever met each other besides these contract signings that needed to be signed by the Queen.

Anna tried to get them closer saying that Elsa was practically his sister in law, but with both of them busy with their own things, it never really worked out. There was actually another "family" get together as Anna liked to call it, after his trip. Another attempt by Anna to break the ice between him and Elsa. Most end up without much progress. He was beginning to think that he should just strike up a conversation with Elsa at the get together, so that he could get Anna of the case.

"Your going to Graimlin if I recall correctly," Elsa spoke suddenly.

Kristoff blinked a few times before answering her, "Yes, I would be."

"Which route would you be taking?" Elsa asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm thinking the of the northern route."

"That would be the fastest route," Elsa mused mostly to herself.

"Yes, it would be. Although there is also the eastern route," Kristoff rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "which would cut pretty close to the northern one."

"I suggest you go through the eastern route then," Elsa advised as she quickly scrawled her signature onto the contracts.

"Of course your majesty, but may I ask why?" Kristoff questioned.

"I was informed by Kai before you came in that the northern route is as of now... hazardous," Elsa replied. "And please call me just Elsa, at least when we're alone. It is very tiring to hear people saying your majesty this, your majesty that all day."

"Of course...Elsa," Kristoff replied. It wasn't the first time she told him that, but it was always quite weird to call the Queen in such a casual way.

"Good, and here are the papers you asked for," Elsa said as she handed him the sheets.

"Thank you, I guess I should be taking my leave then," Kristoff said nervously.

"Ah yes, you may," Elsa dismissed and turned back to the pile of paper on her desk ready to be signed by her.

Kristoff nodded and turned to leave, but before he took even one step, the door creaked open and an all to familiar figure popped her head inside the room.

"Ellie?" she called out from the door.

Elsa looked up from her desk. Kristoff could almost see a faint frown appearing on her face as she recognized the figure. "Yes, Anna," Elsa replied annoyingly as she returned to work.

"Oh Kristoff is here too! You two are getting along just fine aren't you," Anna said gleefully.

Kristoff rolled his eyes, Anna would be the only one happy to see her soon to be fiance with another lady. And not just any lady, but her sister that happens to be every mans dream wife. He didn't know if Anna was stupid or had extreme trust for him. He hoped it was latter.

"This also saves me the trouble of telling you guys separately," Anna added.

"Anna, please not now," Elsa said in irritation.

"I was thinking that maybe we could go out to market today," Anna continued as if she didn't hear Elsa's statement.

"What?" Elsa raised an eyebrow.

"It's a nice change from our usual suffocating indoors, so I thought, maybe we could go out and get some fresh air. So how about it?" Anna asked.

"No," Elsa replied simply.

"Why?"

"You could go alone, but I am a quite busy."

"But I don't want to go alone."

"You can take Kristoff then."

"But I need both of you to go, say something Kristoff!" Anna exclaimed.

Kristoff groaned tiredly, he knew they were going to pull him into the argument sooner or later. He never liked it when he had to choose one side. You wouldn't want to be on bad side for either of them. But it was easier to get back on the better side of Anna than Elsa. He could get her a box of chocolate and she would forget about it, but Elsa on the other hand. Let's just say that you wouldn't want an ice queen chasing you around.

"It's my last day before I go on my trip, so I have a lo-" Kristoff attempted to say before being interrupted by Anna.

"Yes! It is his last day, so we can do something for him before he leaves!" Anna told Elsa.

Elsa let out a defeated sigh, "fine."

"Yes!" Anna exclaimed as she grabbed both their arms and dragged them out of the study room.

Kristoff sighed for the umpteenth time today, this was going to be another long day for him. Still if he looked on the bright side of things, he was getting more time with Anna.

By the time Anna let him go, it was already sunset. Which meant that he was quite late for the organizing and loading preparations that he was supposed to do with the other harvesters. To make matters worse, there was a rookie going with him on this trip, and that means he needs to be a good example for him. And being late is far from being a good example.

"Oh, he decided to show up!" A man shouted when he arrived on the site.

"Sorry *huff* princess's *huff* errands," he managed to say as he tried to catch his breath.

"Oh? We don't blame you, especially if you girl like that!" The same man shouted.

Kristoff raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah you have to let loose on girl like that once in while, if you know what I mean!" Another cried out.

Which brought out a lot of laughter and cheers to the harvesters, but just a red flush on Kristoff.

"It wasn't anything like that!" Kristoff retorted, but only brought out louder cheers and hoots.

"Get back to work you little piece of dirts!" A gruffy voice called out, and as if there were no cheering and laughter before, they all went back to work with only a faint look of joy on their face.

"Thanks old man," Kristoff said to man who made his way towards him.

"Don't worry about them kid, their just kidding with you," the man assured him.

"Yeah, thanks again Abraham," Kristoff said gratefully. Though Abraham was quite the old man, he was at least 3 decades older than he was, but he was still a great ice harvester. Sure he had less strength than the younger ones, but he had experience and the ways to cut ice in the most effective way.

Abraham nodded, "oh, I should introduce you to the young-ling that's going to join us on this trip," Abraham said to him.

"Ah, yes the rookie," Kristoff mused.

"BARRY!" Rich shouted out.

"Yes!" A voice replied.

To say that Kristoff was surprised when the rookie arrived was an understatement. The person who arrived in front of him was no young man but only boy. He didn't seem no older than 16.

"Abraham, how old is this guy," Kristoff asked.

"I don't know, how old are you kid," Abraham questioned.

"I am currently 15 sir," Barry answered.

"Don't call me sir," Abraham dismissed.

"Yes, sir! I mean- Yes si- no I mean Abraham," Barry stumbled.

Abraham sighed, "You can go now kid."

"He's too young Abraham," Kristoff said as Barry walked away. "We can't have a boy on a trip to Grimlim!" Kristoff exclaimed.

"He signed up for this trip Kris, and he qualified through the qualification procedures," Abraham countered.

"What if something happened to the kid, what are you going to tell his parents," Kristoff retorted.

"The boy doesn't have parents, he probably signed up for a scrape of money," Abraham assured.

"Still..."

"Look kid, even if something was going to happen to the kid, remember that his blood ain't on our hands," Abraham said before walking away to continue his work.

Kristoff sighed, he already hated this trip and it didn't even start yet.

Kristoff loaded his final block of ice onto the carrier. It was still in the early morning and yet everybody was all loading blocks of ice onto the carriers. They would be setting out today and no one was slacking off on his watch.

"Um, excuse me Mr. Bjormam," a nervous voice called out.

Kristoff turned around from loading and faced the person who had called him. "What can I help you with Barry," Kristoff replied as he recognized the person.

"I've got information from Mr. Aaker," Barry answered.

"Abraham?" Kristoff asked.

"Yes, his group that went ahead to check the routes wanted me to inform you that there was route change and they would be taking the northern route instead of eastern you insisted," Barry replied.

Kristoff scrunched his face in confusion, "why?"

"The eastern route has been blocked by construction near the area, and it seems we would have to walk miles to get around it," Barry answered.

"I see..." Kristoff said and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Your majesty!" The crowd suddenly shouted.

Kristoff looked up and found Elsa and Anna making their way through the group of ice harvesters. Kristoff debated whether he should tell her about the route changes, but chose to remain silent.

"I hope everything is under control," Elsa inquired.

"Ah yes, everything is well under control, your majesty," Kristoff replied with a bow.

"Well I must be doing my little magic now," Elsa said.

"Of course," Kristoff moved aside and let Elsa make her way towards the ice.

"I'm going to miss you," Anna said wistfully.

"I'm going to miss you too," Kristoff replied. "But don't worry, I'll be back before you know it," Kristoff added.

"You better be," Anna leaned towards Kristoff for a hug that he returned without hesitation.

"Anna, let the man do his work," Elsa called out, who was already walking her way back.

"Stay safe," Anna quickly pecked his lips before joining her sister.

Kristoff faintly smiled, and turned towards the front of the group. "Let's all get this over with!" Kristoff shouted as they made their way out of the castle.

The late night had rolled by and the people of Arendelle were all well under the warmth of their blankets and pillows. Even the harvester who had left three days ago were all in warm shelter from the winter. The night brought sleep to everyone all around, all except for one.

A lone figure silently walked through the castle halls of Arendelle. The oil lamp that the figure carried faintly showed the figure's feminine figure. Her aqua blue eyes shone in the dim lamp light. She nervously twirled her messy ginger hair. She always hated the halls of the castle. They always seemed cold and towering to her.

"Why does she have her bedroom so far away from me," the figure muttered distastefully.

The ginger haired figure shivered slightly from the winter cold that managed to get inside the castle. The figure quickened her pace towards the Queen's quarters. She didn't want to be in the halls for very much longer.

"Princess Anna?" A voice suddenly called out from behind the figure.

The figure turned around and faced the person who had called her. She was slightly worried that the person would be one of the stuck up councilor that would be nagging all day. She didn't know how Elsa handled them every day. But she was pleasantly surprised to find Carolus standing in front of her. Carolus was one the most trusted security in the castle they had. He worked for the royal family since Anna was only little, which to her was quite a while for her.

"Yes, Carolus?"

"May I ask what you be doing this late at night?" Carolus asked.

"I don't want to talk about," Anna answered pensively.

"My apologies, your highness."

"No no, I just want to get to my sister."

"Should I escort there, your highness?" Carolus asked with concern.

"Company would be nice."

"Of course, your highness."

Anna let Carolus lead the way towards the Queen's quarters. "On your night patrol, I presume," Anna spoke up.

"Yes, your highness," Carolus replied.

Anna nodded, "you don't get paid enough to do this."

"I'm sorry, may you repeat that, your highness?" Carolus blinked a few times in confusion.

"I said, you don't get paid enough to do this," Anna repeated. "Maybe I should give you a pay raise."

"I cannot ask you of that, your highness," Carolus refused.

"You sure?"

"My great grandfather worked for the royal family with no pay when times were hard. I should be grateful with what I have," Carolus assured

"He did?"

"Yes, 6 months he went without a pay," Carolus replied.

Anna nodded thoughtfully.

"Ah, here we are. We have arrived at the quarters. I will be taking my leave then, your highness," Carolus bowed.

"Of course, thank you Carolus," Anna replied.

"It was my pleasure," Carolus said before turning to leave.

Anna took a deep breath and faced the door.

"Elsa?" Anna called uncertainly as she made her way towards her sister's bed.

The Elsa grumbled and opened her eyes tiredly. "Anna?"

"Um, could I sleep here. Like next to you?" Anna asked nervously.

"Yeah, sure," Elsa replied as she made room for her sister to come in. "What is it? What's the problem?"

Anna let out a sigh, "it's nothing really, quite immature."

"I'm all ears you know," Elsa assured. "It's about Kristoff?" Elsa asked uncertainly when Anna chose remain silent.

"Yeah," Anna replied simply.

"Do you miss him?" Elsa asked in concern.

Anna took a deep breath, "it's only been three days and I already miss him. What am I supposed to do?"

"That's normal when you love the person Anna," Elsa comforted.

"I know, it's just... ah I don't know, what if something happened to him?" Anna said in worry.

"Don't worry, I specifically told them to take the eastern route, just to be safe," Elsa reassured.

"Still..."

"It's okay Anna, everything going to be alright, so just go to sleep now," Elsa said soothingly.

"I can't stop worrying though. What if a carrier broke down and hurt him anything could happen!" Anna sat upright from the bed in distress.

"You will have just trust him on this," Elsa told her and followed Anna up.

Anna sighed and looked down in defeat, "your right Elsa, I should just stop worrying."

Elsa frowned as she looked down on Anna's defeated figure. One of the few things she detested was seeing a defeated Anna. She was often upbeat and cheerful which was quite a contrast to herself. And it crushed Elsa to see someone like that look so down. Especially if she was her sister.

"Hey Anna?" Elsa said uncertainly.

"Yes, Elsa?" Anna replied and looked up to her sister.

"Do you wanna build a snowman?" Elsa asked with a soft smile.

Anna's eye's widened then grinned at her sister. "Yes, I want to build a snowman."

"If we go over this mountain we will be in Grimlim by tomorrow," Kristoff shouted to the harvesters in front of him. Which brought out a lot of relieved sighs. He stood behind the group to make sure no one was falling behind and Abraham stood at the front to lead. It was standard formation.

Kristoff contiuned to trudged his way through snowy ledge of the mountain. For most of the trip he was paranoid around everything, since the Elsa had said the northern route was hazardous, but so far he didn't find anything to dangerous. Though that might've been because they progressed with extra precautions, which slightly slowed their progress down, but it was worth. Sure they would arriving back home a little later, but it was better than arriving dead.

Though there were the unfortunate consequence of seeing Anna later. And that did bug him slightly. But since they would be taking a eastern route on the way back, they would be making faster progress on their way back and they cut down on resting times and move faster, which would bring them home a lot quicker, but he wasn't sure if the harvester would like that.

A loud roar snapped Kristoff out of his thought and made him look up to the top of the mountain, Kristoff's eye's widened. "AVALANCHE!" He screamed out to the harvesters.

The crowd in front of them watched in fear as the avalanche made his way towards them.

"We can make it if go faster!" Kristoff shouted to the harvesters.

The group hastened their pace across the ledge. They were almost of the ledge, which meant that they were almost in the safe zone. Kristoff silently cursed to himself when he noticed a cart get stuck on rock.

He quickly ran towards the carrier and help them push the cart off the rock. "Go go go!" Kristoff urged.

Kristoff quickly did a head count when he had gotten off the ledge and paled. "Where's Barry!?"

The panicked crowd looked around in confusion.

"There!" A man shouted as he pointed to the ledge.

Kristoff's eye's widened in shock in realization.

"Your tea, your majesty," Kai said as he put down the a cup of tea down on Elsa's desk.

"Thank you, Kai," Elsa replied. "You may be excused."

Kai nodded and left the room with a bow. Elsa rubbed her forehead tiredly. Her sleep unfortunately were always interrupted by Anna coming by to 'build a snowman' which in reality was just her watching Elsa powers and skating around for a bit. Which she was fine with one or two days, but when it became it four, then it would be a problem.

And as if that wasn't enough, Anna would come down to her study room at her work time and start sleeping on the couch. If Anna was a quiet sleeper than she wouldn't mind, but Anna was anything but a quiet. She for one was loud snorer which was already difficult to handle at work and not only that, but she mumbled in her sleep.

Elsa had tried to get her to her room. But Anna had adamantly refused, she was determined to sleep in the study room. Of course she could do her work outside of the study room, but if she did there would be a whole new problem on a different level. The study room was her only room of escape from her councilors or stuck ups as Anna liked to call them.

The door to her study room harshly opened and interrupted Elsa from her thoughts. Elsa looked up to see Carolus walking in the room.

"Your majesty, I have news from Graimlin!"

Elsa raised an eyebrow at the sudden intrusion. "Yes, what do they say."

"I have come to inform you that there has been an avalanche in the northern route, your majesty," Carolus replied.

"Any Casualties?"

"Fortunately there has been none confirmed yet, but there is one person missing," Carolus answered.

"The worst has been missed," Elsa said in relief. "My greatest sympathies are for the lost," Elsa added.

"Your majesty?" Carolus said nervously.

"Yes? Is there more to inform me of."

"Yes, about that... the party of harvester who had went to Graimlin few days back have seemed to have been on the northern route, when this had happened," Carolus said uncomfortably.

"What!?"

"And it seems, the person who went missing..." Carolus trailed off.

Elsa tensed, "Who went missing?"

"I hate to be bringer of bad news, but..." Carolus rubbed his neck nervously. "The person who went missing seems to have been, Mr. Bjorgman."

"Kristoff?" A voice said shakily from behind.

Elsa's eye's widened in shock, "Anna, listen we can- Anna!" But before Elsa could finish Anna stormed out of the room.

How was it? Hope it wasn't too bad. I'm sure it was full of errors and problem... I also can't write anything to exciting so it was failure of an attempt to try at a part.

Please let me know what you think in the review!

Thanks
