Introduction:

Late in the night, when everyone was already asleep, a ship docked in the port of Arendelle. On the deck stood a little girl. She looked sleepy, but as her fiery red hair flew with the wind, her excitement grew, fuelling the tiny body. She was carrying a small shortbow. Those lonely wanderers, who happened to pass the harbour, would groan and moan at the sight of the purple flag, carrying the insignia of the DunBroch clan.

Princess Merida jumped off the ship and before her supervisors could follow, ran off towards the castle. Few lights were on, but she knew the place like the back of her hand. She sneaked in, only to be caught by a smart maid, who had been warned.

"I'm afraid I can't let you go up," she told, gently grabbing the princess by her shoulders. "Princesses are both already asleep."

"But I want to see them!" Merida said loudly. The servant sighed at her stubbornness and did not release her. Soon, Queen Elinor entered through the front gates and released the girl from her duty. Merida frowned at seeing her.

"Be a good girl, Merida," her mother whispered, aware of the quiet surroundings. "You will see them tomorrow."

"But mom," she whined. "I want to see them today." Queen Elinor stared at her sternly and the girl pouted, before finally giving in and allowing herself to be led to her chambers,

A nine-year old princess suddenly opened her eyes. She scrambled up at inhumane speed and ran to the door. Opening it was difficult. She struggled at the handle, trying to pull the door open, only managing to open it a few inches. But few inches was enough for her to press herself through the tiny space between her room and the corridor.

Looking around not to be seen in her sleeping gown by the palace workers, she waddled to the door opposite of her room. She pushed herself against it and it cracked open. She heard snoring coming from the inside and giggled, pushing the door more. It opened with a creak and she entered.

"Merida! Wake up! Wake up!" She jumped onto the bed, waking the heavy sleeper. Merida popped one eye open and grinned, despite having slept only a few hours. The sun was only rising, but with the waking sky, the two were already scheming in their heads.

"Hi, Anna!" She greeted her cousin, whose hair was a mess rivalling her own. She sat up and tried to force her hair stay down, but she had no such luck. "I had this really really good idea last night!" she whispered, lowering her voice. Anna looked at her eagerly, waiting to hear it.

"But I forgot it," Merida grinned. She was missing a tooth in her upper row. It made her voice sound wheezy, but Anna could not be bothered by it. She hit the redhead with a pillow. Merida let out a laugh, which soon infected the strawberry blond princess.

"We should sneak out," Anna whispered to her in conspiracy. Merida nodded with a giggle and pushed the blanket off. She turned to the kneeling girl on her bed and seeing her ready to follow, grabbed her bow and arrows from the bedside and hopped off the royal cot. They exited through the open door and ran down the empty halls. Down the stairs and to the kitchen, where the cook was setting up the fire under the stove.

Giggling, the two princesses hid themselves under the table, going unnoticed by the stout woman. Merida grabbed a red apple from the basket on the table and Anna followed her action, almost making the basket fall off and ruin their escape. Even before they were out the door, she sunk her teeth into the fruit.

The sun shone warmly over their pale skin. Merida threw the apple in the air and tried to shoot an arrow through it like archers in her kingdom could, but even before she was able to take the arrow, the apple landed on the ground. Disappointed, she picked it up.

"Want me to throw it for you?" Anna offered gleefully. Merida nodded and handed her the apple. She readied herself and took her stance.

"Ready?" her fellow asked. She gave a nod, looking incredibly serious while aiming above. Anna threw the apple and she released the arrow. It flew fast and straight into the fruit. Anna applauded and the princess gave a mock-bow, before taking her breakfast and biting into it.

"This is so cool!" the younger girl was in awe. Merida looked at her and smiled. "I wish I could do that!"

"I could teach you!" the redhead pointed out. "But we must do it elsewhere," she added in a whisper. "My mother will kill me if she finds out!" She shuddered at the thought. Anna's eyes were wide, as she almost remembered how queen Elinor had scolded her daughter, when they first met. Since the two kingdoms were so far apart, the king and queen only paid courtesy visits to each other every five years. When Anna had been four years old, her parents had taken her and Elsa along to Scotland, where they had met Merida for the first time. It had been a lot of fun, if she ignored the fact they had got lost in the forest.

"I know exactly the place!" Anna grinned, grabbing her cousin's arm and dragging her towards the closed front gate. A year ago, she had found out there was a secret passageway out and using that, they left the safe grounds of Arendelle castle.

The place she had thought of was by the waking village. They ran through the street, completely unaware of the women looking after them strangely because of their sleeping garments. They arrived by the forest, where children were playing nearby with snow that had yet to melt. Even though it was already late spring, the weather had not warmed up.

"That's the target!" Merida declared, pointing at the door of the village's last house. Village children were only a few meters far from there, but she could not understand the danger. She gave Anna the bow and showed her how to hold it. The princess looked excited and it made her chest swell with pride. She handed one of the arrows, telling her how to put it on. Anna followed her advice. Seeing it was off, Merida fixed her hold with a giggle.

"Ready?" she asked from the girl and Anna nodded with excitement. "Shoot!"

The arrow flew. It was that moment when Merida realized Anna was completely off the target and it was flying towards the group of kids, right towards where a teenage boy, white-haired was standing. The whooshing sound made him raise his head and seeing the arrow, he raised his hand for protection. The arrow cut into his skin, making him bleed. He pulled it out with one swift movement and turned to look at where it came from.

The two princesses stared, wide-eyed and frightened. The boy raised an eyebrow. Anna tried to shove the bow to Merida, who refused to take it, as terrified as her cousin. Jack walked over, ready to freeze their noses.

"I suppose this is yours?" he said icily, holding up the arrow. Anna snatched it from him, suddenly feeling brave. Merida glanced at her, worried for her sanity.

"Come on, Anna," she whispered to her, tugging the girl by her sleeve. "Let's run!" She looked defiantly at the boy, who blocked their path immediately.

"We're terribly sorry to have harmed you," Anna curtsied. "And for that!" She hit him in the face, before spurting away from him, Merida behind.

"Hey, flamebrains!" Jack called after them. "Apology not accepted!"

He pressed his right hand on the wound from the arrow and limped away crouching, although the painful event had nothing to do with his ability to walk.
