A Tale of Ice and Snow: Prologue

Disclaimer: As much as I would love to, I DO NOT own Frozen ;-;

Anna stared out of the balcony of her room on the ship. The sunset was gorgeous. She had never noticed that the shade of orange in the sunset was so…soft. Tomorrow she would see Elsa again. As much as she loved spending time with Kristoff, she longed to see her sister again.

She and Kristoff had gone to visit Rapunzel, her cousin, Eugene, and their daughter Annabelle. They also went sightseeing around the world in this very ship. Her honeymoon had lasted for three months, which was extremely long yet quite short, she felt. Now she was headed for home.

Kristoff stood beside her. "Hey."

"Hi." She sounded distant.

"What's wrong?" Kristoff asked, concerned.

"Nothing. Well, a lot of things. I really miss Elsa, but don't get me wrong, I love spending time with you too." A hint of a smile appeared on her face. "Also… you know my parents died on a ship…" She trailed off and turned to look at Kristoff, her eyes a beautiful blue.

Kristoff wrapped his arms around Anna. "It wouldn't happen. We'll be fine. We'll arrive back in Arendelle, safe and sound." He gave a reassuring smile.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Anna looked into his eyes.

"We'll be fine," she repeated.

xxxxx

Elsa sighed and gave a small smile.

Perfect. The ice chandelier in the ballroom was complete.

All she needed now was for Anna to return from her honeymoon with Kristoff. She could scarcely believe that it had already been three years since it happened, when she could finally control her powers. When she no longer needed to fear them, and everyone else. Anna had just married Kristoff a few months ago, while the kingdom of Arendelle had begun to accept Elsa's powers. Everything just seemed so perfect nowadays. It was quite a relief. She definitely didn't want any more trouble, something which she spent her whole life avoiding.

Elsa trudged back to her bedroom, or as she was supposed to say, queen's quarters. She lay on her bed, thinking of Anna. Today, December 24. Christmas tomorrow, she thought. She bolted up. Christmas. She loved Christmas, and Christmas tomorrow was also the day Anna would come back. She was so busy preparing for Anna's ball that she forgot that she was going to come back tomorrow. I'll meet you at the docks on Christmas at noon. Don't miss me too much! Elsa had clearly remembered Anna telling her that with a smirk.

It had always been a tradition in Arendelle to have a ball after a member of the royal family got married and returned from their honeymoon. For Anna, Elsa was in charge of designing the ball for her. She had decorated the entire castle, created an ice chandelier in the ballroom, which was about five times bigger than the one she had built in her ice castle all those years ago. She had also designed a beautiful ball gown for equally beautiful sister.

It was almost midnight now. She'd have to fetch Anna in twelve hours' time. Got to have an early night's rest, tomorrow will be a busy day. She'll be seeing her beloved sister soon. Holy marshmallows, she missed her sister, even if Anna teased her pretty much most of the time. Elsa got up, draped the curtains, and dozed off in her comfy bed, under her soft blankets.

Meanwhile, a shadow drifted past the castle. The hooded figure smirked.
