Ch.01

Anna Winters, a princess from the Arendelle, ran through the hallway. It was sunday, a day on which the sun was shining extra bright. Even though it had been snowing. Ever since she was young, it had been snowing in Arendelle. There was sun, but it was almost always cold. On some days it wasn't too cold. Like on Sundays! But the reason why she was so happy was because today her brother Jack would play with her.

She stopped by his door and knocked onto the door.

"Jack! Come on! Wake up!" Yelled Anna.

"I'm coming!"

The young man opened up his door. His hair was still messy. He looked with sleepy eyes at his sister Anna. Despite her strawberry/blond hair, Jack had white hair. They never knew how he got his white hair.

"Finally, Jack, let's go play!" Chirped Anna.

Jack laughed. Even though Anna was 18, she still acted like a little kid. Jack on the other hand was 22. And the next ruler of the throne. His father and mother died a few years ago. Now he was ready to take the throne.

They ran outside into town. Today it wasn't snowing too hard.

"Hey, Jack!" Yelled Sanderson a friend of Jack. Jack also called him Sandy. The guy was as old as him.

"Hey, Sandy!" Jack ran towards him. "How is business?"

"It's okay, not slowing down."

Sandy owned a little bakery. Anna loved the bakery, especially chocolate cake. When they were little their parents used to take them to the bakery.

"Not slowing down?!" A man with black hair walked out of the bakery. "You kidding me?! I've seen better times, mate."

This man was named Aster Bunnymund. He was working at the bakery as well. He had a love for Easter.

"Seriously, if it was Summer for once, we could sell more-"

"More what? Ice cream?"

This voice came from Toothiana, the boss at the store. She looked annoyed at Aster and Sandy.

"Guys, get back to work. Unless you want no salary."

"Yes, madame." Said Sandy.

"Fine." Said Aster.

They both went back inside. Tooth sighed and turned her attention back to Anna and Jack.

"So, you two?" Asked Tooth. "What you gonna do?"

"We are going to play outside!" Chirped Anna. "Even though it is snowing..."

"Yeah." Jack looked down as well.

Tooth leaned closer to them and whispered;" Did you know? There is a rumor about a snow queen..."

"Snowqueen?"

"Yes. She had cursed this land with an internal winter. It has been said that the witch lives up high in the mountains in a castle."

Anna laughed nervously. "Th-that can't be real...right?"

"Well, I heard it from hikers that they had been seen an ice palace and a strange figure...but it is just a rumor. Plus, would you believe a hiker? Those people are just trying to scare you."

"You're right." Said Jack. "It is just a rumor."

"Hm-m." Tooth made a little bow and ran back into the store.

Anna looked at Jack.

"Jack? The story is fake, right? Right?!"

"Woah." Jack grabbed her shoulders. "Calm down, sis. It is just a rumor. Something like that can't be real...let's just enjoy our day."

"O-okay!"

...

The hiker looked up. The figure above him stood tall.

"WHO SEND YOU?!"

The hiker shook violently. Tears were streaming down his face. The cold didn't bother him right now. He forgot his frozen toes in the snow.

"No-one..." Whispered the hiker.

"LIAR!" The woman before him screamed loudly. Ice shattered like glass.

The hiker grabbed his axe. He had to slay this beast. But before he could raise his weapon, something pierced his chest.

He looked up, coughing up blood. Then his eyes looked down. He was pierced by ice spikes. The woman leaned in closer. Her cold breath blew against his ear.

"Don't ever lie to a queen." She whispered.

The hiker closed his eyes and screamed loudly.

...

Jack and Anna walked back into the castle. They had a great day. They had been running around town, eating ice cream, throwing snow balls and other stuff.

Anna pulled her shoes off.

"I'm gonna take a shower." Said Anna.

"Okay! I'll wait till you're ready! Then later we can maybe watch the stars together!"

"Okay!" Yelled Anna as she ran away.

Jack smiled. His sister was so adorable. He walked into the big study room. His fathers belonging still lay there. A painting of his father was hanging on the wall. Jack sighed. Soon he would have to take over the kingdom. He was a little nervous about it and-

Suddenly he noticed an old book lying under neath the desk. He kneeled down and grabbed it. He blew on it and dust filled the room.

The Curse

Jack read. It was scrabbled on it in an old handwriting.

He stood up. There wasn't any lock on it to something. But it looked old...why didn't the staff tell him of this book?

Jack slowly opened it up. The book contained strange drawings and words.

"A girl will be born in the mountain...She will have a strange power...she will look down on the land below...and cover it in internal snow..."

Jack gasped. It couldn't be...true? Right?

He read further.

"The land will never thaw, but once someone cuts through her heart cold and clear, sees her beauty sharp or sheer, and takes the ice apart, they might thaw her frozen heart..."

Jack looked at the drawing below. A woman on a throne was drawn, snowflakes surrounding her. She looked beautiful...but was the rumor real?

"Prince Jack!" Yelled a maid. "A man is here to deliver a message to you!"

Jack ran after her. A man with bloody clothes stood in the hallway. He looked like a hiker!

"Oh no, what happened to this man?!" Yelled Jack.

The man made a little bow and handed him a letter.

"My name is Craig. I was told to give this to you by h-her..." Craig his hands were blue. Something was roughly scrabbled onto the paper.

Don't send someone up the mountain again I will kill them all

"Who gave you this?"

Craig took a deep breath. "A witch on top of the mountain...She...she killed all my buddies...only I got away while she was killing one of them..."

"A witch on the mountain?" Anna just walked towards them, dressed in a simple green dress.

Jack held his hand up to silence her.

"Take this kind sir to the nurse. I need to have a talk with my sister."

The staff and Craig immediately left.

"What was that about?!" Said Anna. "And don't you dare to silence me again!"

"Sorry, but it seems..." Jack sighed heavily. He clutched the paper in his hand.

"What?!"

"The rumor is true."

"Which rumor?"

"The rumor about the snow queen."

"The snow queen?" Whispered Anna.

Jack showed her the letter. Anna gasped. This couldn't be happening!

"What are we going to do about this?"

"I'm going up that mountain and talk to that woman." Said Jack. "There has to be a way to stop her."

"Talk?! Talk? That woman might kill you, what if..."

"She won't. Tomorrow I will leave. You will stay here."

"Here?"

"Yes."

...

So, the next day Jack stepped onto his horse. He said Anna goodbye.

"Just be careful..." Whispered Anna.

"You too."

Jack rode away. After a few hours he was high up in the mountain. But his horse got scared of a bunny. The horse pranced. Jack fell down in the snow. The horse whined and immediately ran away. Jack stood up and yelled the horse's name, but the animal was already gone...

"Great..." Muttered Jack.

He stood up and walked further. It was almost freezing. Ugh, he hated mondays...He almost fell over his own feet, but grabbed a hanging branche just in time. Just then Jack saw a cabin. He walked towards it. He should ask for help there. Or he at least should borrow some food.

Jack walked into the cabin. It was some kind of old toy-store.

"Hello? Anyone home?"

No one answered. It was quiet. Jack looked around. Toys which were made by hand were hanging in the store. It was sort of...creepy...

"Hi, there!"

Jack jumped up.

A man with white hair and a white beard stood behind him. Jack turned around. He almost screamed his lungs out.

"Whoa, calm down!" Said the man. "The name is Nicholas North. But you can call me Nick."

Jack took a deep breath. "Geez...don't jump on me like that!"

"Who are you?"

"My name is Jack...Jack Frost...I'm the future king of Arendelle."

North smiled. "Nice to meet you, King Frost...interested in anything?"

"Uh...no. Just.." The sound of Jack's stomach broke the conversation.

Nicholas Laughed. "Then how about some food?"

"Yes , Please!"

A half hour later, Jack was eating some soup.

Nicholas sat next to him. "So...Jack, right?"

Jack nodded as he ate a spoon full of the tomato soup.

"Why are you here?" Asked Nick.

"I need to go up that mountain...I need to see..."

"The snow queen?"

Jack his spoon fell down into his soup. "Yes..how did you know?"

Nick sighed. "I..I know the woman who is up that mountain...well..woman...she is actually pretty young. 20, to be exact."

"Does she have a name?" Jack had to know more about what he was going to face. "Please, I need to know..."

"Her name is..." Nick shook his head. "Look, if you're smart, you won't go up that mountain, just stay down here-"

"I need to know!" Jack slammed his fist onto the table. "Please..."

He saw Nick's worried face. But he had to know more about the woman!

"Fine." Nick put his hand onto the table. "Her name is Elsa. I've raised her as my own daughter. She was left behind in the snow! I don't think a baby could survive that...so, I took her in for a long time. Soon I found out about her powers...first she had it under control. But I saw her become fearful of these powers. So, when she was six, I told her to go up to the mountain. She could learn to develop her powers more. When she came back, she told me that she wanted to stay up that mountain. That she didn't need to fear her powers. I was against it, of course..but she told that she would visit from time to time. And that up there, she couldn't hurt me with her powers. So I agreed. I haven't seen her in 5 years."

Jack was silent. That was quite a story. He wasn't expecting this.

"Now you know." Whispered Nick.

Jack stood up. "You haven't seen her in 5 years?"

"No. I miss her everyday."

"Okay! You know what?!" Said Jack all chipper. "I will find her and bring her back!"

"But she could kill you!" Said Nick.

"Don't worry about me! I'll take her downtown and we can take this winter away! What about that?"

Nick smiled. What a funny guy. But there was more hope now. Nick had been thinking about going up, but upon hearing the stories, he got freaked out.

"Okay, that sounds like a good idea." Said Nick. "But...just be careful."

...

"I wonder if Jack is safe..." Muttered Anna.

"Princess Anna?" Asked a maid. "You have a special visitor!"

Anna shot up from the couch. She ran to the gates, where she saw prince Hans.

"HANS!" Screamed Anna.

He saw her and smiled brightly. Anna ran towards him and gave him a big hug.

Hans and Anna had been childhood friends. Since Anna was lonely whenever her brother was having lessons, her father had introduces her to Hans. Hans was a prince from the Southern Isles, a kingdom and friend of Arendelle. Her brother Jack didn't like him, but welcomed him whenever the guy showed up. But Anna Hans was a very good friend. Maybe even more. I mean, Anna had a crush on the guy!

"Hans, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to visit my favorite princess!" Said Hans. "And give you this..." He handed her a small black box.

Anna gasped. This couldn't be...could it?

"Oh, Hans..." Anna opened up the small box. But it wasn't a ring or something. No, it was...

A little button of a rose.

"Do you like it?" Asked Hans. "I immediately thought of you."

Anna sighed. She put the button on the top of her dress.

"It looks beautiful on you."

"Sure." Anna bit her lip. After all these years...he was still dense.

"I mean it. Plus I've been in love forever."

"Huh?!"

Hans grabbed her hands. "Anna, my sweet Anna.."

Anna blushed. Was he?

"I've been in love forever with..."

This was it!

"Me."

"Huh?!" Yelled Anna confused.

"I've never noticed how great I was until today. I mean, who could think of an awesome present like that, right?"

Anna sweat dropped. Of course...He would never see her that way.

"Anyhow, where is Jack?"

"Oh, my brother...he is up to the mountains." Said Anna.

"Why?"

"You know the rumor about the snow queen?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, it's real. He is going up there and stop the winter."

"Really?" Has gasped. "O, dear, I hope that he is alright."

...

Jack groaned. He had been walking in the snow for hours. Nick gave him some warm white hand gloves. That way he would get cold fingers...

How did hikers do this?

Suddenly he fell over something in the snow. Jack covered his mouth. He stood up. A dead body lay down in the snow. Blood covered the white snow. The body was pierced with an ice spike. It had a horrifying expression on its face.

Jack quickly turned around. Now he had to confront her.

He suddenly saw a big ice castle in front of of ice. Jack walked up the stairs. The stairs let him to a big door. He was about to knock when it opened up. It looked like he had to go inside. The place was big! He carefully walked further, not trying to slip. Everything here was beautiful.

"You there." A voice came from above another set of stairs.

Jack looked up.

A woman with a ice dress on walked out of the shadows. She had her hair in a french braid. Her crystal, blue eyes pierced into his. She moved gently, like a deer setting his feet down. Her hand touched the cold railing. She looked down on him with curiosity and a little bit of anger.

"What are you doing here, hiker?"

"I'm no hiker." Said Jack. "I'm Prince Jack from Arendelle."

"So you rule Arendelle? What a surprise..I have no time for you. Just leave."

"Your name is Elsa right?"

The woman stiffened up. "Who told you that?"

"Nick. Or as you know him, your father, who you haven't visited in years!"

"I knew he would tell someone..." Whispered Elsa underneath her breath.

"I'm here to put a stop to the winter!" Yelled Jack.

"Look. Jack , right?" Asked Elsa.

"Yes, Jack Frost."

"I suggest that you leave, now."

"But Nick misses you!"

"I know!" Yelled Elsa. "But I don't want to hurt him! Now, just Leave!"

Elsa ran up the stairs. Jack ran after her.

"Elsa, wait up!" Yelled Jack. "Just listen to me!"

He ran up the slippery stairs. He ran after her into a big room. Elsa stopped and turned around.

"I told you to go away!" Said Elsa.

"I will if you can stop this winter!"

"Don't you see? I can't! I don't know how!"

Jack walked towards. "Please, if you just try!"

"Try, huh?"

Elsa made a quick movement with her hand. A ice spike shot out of the ground, close to him. Jack immediately drew his sword on instinct and cut the thing in half.

"Quick movements." Said Elsa.

"What are you doing?" Yelled Jack. "I wasn't attacking you!"

"Then why did you bring the sword!"

"I-"

"You were about to kill me! Just like all those hikers!"

She shot an ice beam at him. Jack quickly jumped out of the way.

"Those hikers didn't mean you harm!"

Elsa laughed. "Hahahaha! Are you stupid? Those hikers called me a monster, a witch! They just want to chop me up! All people are the same!"

"We're not!" Yelled Jack. "Not all people hate your powers!"

"Oh, really?"

Ice spikes shot out of the ground, trapping Jack. His sword fell down onto the ground.

Elsa picked it up. She had never seen a weapon like that before.

"Do you like it?"

"Huh?" Elsa looked confused at Jack. There was no fear in his eyes.

"The sword. It's beautiful right?" Asked Jack. He saw how Elsa turned the sword around and around.

Elsa put the sword down. She held out her hands. She was going to make a sword with her powers. She shot ice onto the ground. The ice and snow from her hands swirled around, creating an object. It turned into a sword, just like Jack's, except more detailed. Jack gasped. He had never seen such craftsmanship.

Elsa picked it up. It worked!

"That is awesome!" Yelled Jack.

Elsa blushed. He really seemed amazed by her powers...and he was really handsome...Suddenly the ice spikes around Jack began to melt away. Jack gasped and stepped back, looking baffled."How did..."

"How did I do that..." Elsa looked at her own hands.

Jack started to walk towards her. Elsa took a few steps back. "N-No! Stay away from me!" Jack walked closer and closer. Elsa held her sword close. This man, Jack, might look handsome, but he was trying to kill her!

"I'm not here to hurt you!" Said Jack. He held up his hand.

"If you take another step closer, I will..."

Jack raised his eyebrows. "You will what?"

"I...I will curse the land even more! I will make it even colder! No one will survive!"

"Is that really what you want?" Said Jack. "To just keep cursing the land and to be feared forever? To just keep hurting everyone, even Nick?"

"You don't know anything about me..." Whispered Elsa. "So just stay away or everyone will get hurt."

"Everyone is already hurt."

Elsa groaned. She really was annoyed by him. Most people would be scared and run away when they saw her use her powers. She was so much caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice that Jack grabbed his own sword. Jack suddenly launched at her, but Elsa had no time to react.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the blow. But instead Jack jammed the sword into the ice-wall next to her head. Elsa opened her eyes up again.

"See? I'm not here to hurt you."

Elsa looked away. Her heart was pounding. He was staring at her intently.

"W-well, you s-should know that I'm the snow queen and-"

"Elsa, don't be afraid anymore." Jack grabbed her hand. "Let's go down together. And thaw the kingdom!"

"Thaw the kingdom? Go down together? Are you kidding?!"

Elsa shot an ice beam close to his feet. Jack stumbled a few feet back.

"Don't try to get close to me."

Jack noticed how the ice behind her got red.

"I know what you're trying to do, Frost."

Her voice just became cold in one second. Jack took a few steps back.

"But it won't ever work. Now for the last time: Go back to Arendelle and never get back!"

"Elsa, please, I don't want to be enemies with you."

"But you already are."

Elsa shot an ice beam. Jack grunted. The ice went right through his heart. He almost fell down, but tried to stay up. Jack's heart felt like someone kneaded it and put an bucket of ice over it. Jack stood up as he saw Elsa her hard stare.

Elsa bit her lip. She didn't thought that it would hit him. But now he might go away.

"Now." Said Jack. "How about we go down together?"

Elsa gasped. He was still acting kind? What the...

"I just shot you in the heart." Said Elsa.

"I know."

Elsa sighed. She raised her arms. Now there would only be one way to get him away. She made movement with her arms. A giant snowman rose out of the ground. The snowman roared loudly. Jack trembled. Okay, now this was scary. A giant monster was made with her power! The monster picked up Jack.

"How our guest out, Marshmallow." Said Elsa.

"S.U.R.E." Said The snowman, also named as Marshmallow.

He stomped out of the castle and threw Jack out into the snow.
