I don't own Frozen.

Greetings readers. This is my first story on the site and I hope you all enjoy it. This is an OCxElsa story as I said in the summary so if you don't like that then turn back.

Episode 1: Lightning Strikes

"Uh…when does the snow come to an end?" a young youth, groaned as he trudged through the snow.

The youth was wearing slightly tattered long grey robes that had a black flap, which hung down to his ankles. He was also wearing a pair of slightly tattered black pants along with worn travel boots. A sword rested on his left hip, clicked to his belt.

"It would've been nice if the ship dropped me off at a town instead of random countryside," he grit as a rather strong wind hit him, blowing his hood back, revealing his features. He had pale skin, along with long silver hair that had a slight blue hue to it. A pair of striking blue eyes looked through the veil of hair as he pulled his hood back over his head.

The boy was walking on a snowy path with many trees on either side. He kept a hand on his sword just in case someone was lurking in the trees. Never could be too careful, especially under his circumstances. After all, he was being hunted. Anything could happen to someone like him.

"Great…" he grumbled as he saw a small town in the distance. He hoped they would help a poor one like him. His stomach growled, signaling that he was starving.

"Ok, almost there…" he panted as he started walking with newfound energy. He silently hoped that he could keep himself under control around the people in the village. He didn't want to cause an incident and blow his cover. That's the last thing he wanted at the moment. He knew that he had to move before someone showed up.

"Are you sure that the storm originated in this area?" the youth froze when he heard that followed by something else.

"Yes my Queen, we're sure that it came from around here," another voice replied. Kaji's eyes widened and he quickly dove into the line of trees and hid himself from the paths view.

"Very well, we will take it from here now, don't worry yourselves," the first voice replied.

"Do you really think this guy those people warned us about is really over here?" another voice asked. Kaji noted that this one sounded deeper than the last two.

"What's so special about this guy anyway?" another voice piped. Kaji peeked around the tree to get a look at who was searching for him.

He saw three people, one was boy and the other two were girls. There was also a raindeer, and a…talking snowman!? His eyes went to the girl with pale hair when he saw her speak.

"Those people said that his name is Kaji. They said that he's a heartless killer that they have been trying to track down for months now," the one known as Elsa said. The blonde boy in the group spoke next as he set his hand on the raindeer's head.

"Really? Do you think that's true? I mean they did just visit out of the blue. What do you think Sven?" he asked as he rubbed the deer's head. The deer let out a sound that made Kaji shiver a bit, but he didn't pay too much mind.

"True…but we still have to take precautions, they also said that he has powers over lightning. And that storm we saw proves that theory correct," the redhead said. Then the little talking snowman started jumping.

"It was too bad too! I wanted to feel what lightning was like too!" he said. Both the girls and the boy laughed at his gesture, and Kaji was a bit intrigued.

"Seriously though…you mean he's like you, Elsa?" the boy asked. Elsa nodded, and crossed her arms in thought.

"Yes, Kristoff…except he has lightning as a power instead of ice," Elsa said. Kristoff looked like he was a bit scared until the raindeer rubbed its head against him, affectionately.

"Thanks Sven," he said as he pulled what looked like a carrot out of his pocket. Kaji felt his stomach rumble slightly at the sight of food. He felt a bit of desire to, a desire to be able to have connections with people like the group in front of him did. However, the thing that ran though his mind the most was what this Elsa had said. She said that she had powers like him, except she had powers over ice? He was beginning to worry since he knew that he was not in the state to have a drawn out battle.

"Anna, what do you think?" Kristoff asked, referring to the redhead. Elsa seemed to look right where Kaji was hiding, and he quickly got fully behind the tree to avoid detection.

"Well…I guess we should at least find him, I mean we can't leave someone like that out here-not that I think that the people who told us were wrong-and uh not that I think they're telling the truth!" Anna stammered. Kristoff chuckled again and the snowman seemed to want to poke fun again.

"I thin-" suddenly Elsa raised her hand, interrupting the snowman.

"Quiet Olaf…" she ordered. Kaji wanted to see what they were doing but he didn't want to risk them seeing him. He lowered his breathing and placed his hand on his sword, and readied himself to fight or run, preferably run so he could avoid killing and exhaustion.

"What is it?" Anna asked. Kaji didn't hear anything else after that, and he repressed the urge to peek. He listened for any sound from the group but he heard nothing. However, when he heard a branch snap above him, he bolted.

"Dammit!" Kristoff cursed.

"Get him!" Anna yelled.

Kaji sprinted back onto the path, and turned around to see that Kristoff was riding, Sven, and they were catching up to him. He cursed as he ran back into the forest only to duck as Anna and Olaf tried to tackle him. They collided midair when he ducked and fell onto the ground.

"Olaf!" Anna yelled as she pulled the snowman's head out of her hair.

"Sorry, Anna," he appeased.

"Get up you two!" Elsa ordered as she ran past them.

Kaji quickly sprinted, knowing that using the path was not an option with the reindeer and its master out there. He sprinted through the trees and risked a look behind him to see white haired girl he learned was Elsa.

"Stop you!" she ordered as she ran after him. Kaji cursed and decided that he couldn't just outrun them like this.

He jumped and grabbed hold of a branch and quickly pulled himself up into the tree. Then he started running along the branch and jumped into another tree, before repeating the process again and again.

"What?" Elsa thought as she chased him. She could tell he was fast, but she didn't think that he'd resort to using the trees, or had the ability to scale them at all!

"How's he doing that?" Anna yelled from behind her. Elsa turned to see that her sister and Olaf had caught up to her.

"He's like a monkey! I wish I could do that!" the snowman yelled.

"Yeah, I wish you could too!" Anna joked.

"Have to keep moving!" Kaji thought as he kept running and jumping along the trees. He stole a glance at the ground and cursed when he saw that they were still keeping up with him.

"What'll it take to lose them!" he thought. Unfortunately he didn't have much time to think since he noticed that the trees were about to come to an end and then he'd be out in the open again.

"Damn!" he cursed. This was not looking good for him. He'd have to figure out something and quick!

When the forest came to an end he jumped and rolled on the snowy ground when he hit it. He rolled onto his feet and took off again, panting.

"Damn it…not now…" he groaned as his energy started to wane. The months of little food and water along with long travel were catching up to his energy levels.

"Damn…even my lost race stamina isn't keeping up with my exhaustion…" he panted as he ran. At this rate they would catch up to him.

"He's slowing down! I think he's getting tired!" Elsa shouted as she started to gain ground on him, leaving her sister and Olaf in the dust. She thought she saw Sven and Kristoff starting to make their way over but she didn't pay them too much mind.

She ran, starting to use the snow under her feet to speed her along, or empower her. She didn't know where this extra stamina came from; maybe it was the fact that she was going to meet someone that had the same burden she held. Maybe it was because she had a feeling that this person they were chasing wasn't as heartless as she was told.

"Here goes!" she thought as she called upon her powers of ice. She felt it surge and then she fired a snowball over the boy's head.

"What?" Kaji thought as he saw the snowball hit the ground in front of him. However that was when a giant wall formed in front of him, cutting him off.

"Damn!" he thought as he stopped and tried to turn but then he saw the wall extend far…too far for him to run at his rate. He had only one choice now.

"You have nowhere to run now," Elsa said as she slowed down to a walk as she approached him.

Kaji felt fear seep into his mind and he called upon his powers to help him. He turned to the girl and her approaching friends. He raised his hands up, lightning arching over his arms and hands.

"Stay back! All of you! I don't want to hurt anybody!" he warned, half-heartedly. He was panting, and now that he had stopped running, the fatigue was catching up to him. However, he knew that he couldn't go back to his family…no matter what…

"Please! Stay back! Just let me go!" he pleaded as Elsa still approached him.

"Calm yourself…no one has to get hurt here…" she said, raising her hands in a peaceful manner. She tried approaching him, but Kaji fired a bolt of lightning at her feet in warning.

"Please…stay away! I just want to be free…" he panted. Elsa looked at him hard, and took another step forward.

"Easy…I know that you're scared, just calm down…I know that you're afraid. We're not going to hurt you though," she soothed.

Kaji stared at her in wonder. He felt a strange warmth enter his heart at her words. For some reason all the fear and mistrust he had toward people seemed to go away, at least for her. The boy felt drawn toward this Elsa, but his mind was still able to get thoughts through his head.

"How do I know you're not going to just give me back to my family. They told you about me…they told you what I could do…" he said. However, this time he lowered his hands, but lightning still arched around his arms.

"Look…we're not deciding anything yet. But you have to come with us now." She said.

Kaji didn't like it, but something was telling him to trust her. He couldn't describe the feeling but it was there for sure. He allowed his lightning to fade away and he reached up and pulled his hood back for her.

"You…you aren't going to give me back?" he asked. Elsa nodded, and she held out her hand to him.

"Don't worry…you can trust me…" she said.

Whatever doubt she had about this boy had just been proven. She knew that there was no way some power hungry monster would be wasting away out in the cold. He was just scared. Very scared…like she was, but he didn't have someone like Anna to help him. Well she would be that person then.

"Get him!" Anna shouted. Elsa and Kaji were both surprised when Sven burst in and rammed a surprised Kaji. Elsa's eyes widened as the boy was sent into the ice wall she had created. He hit it with a thud and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing!" Elsa shouted, accusingly as Anna and Kristoff rushed toward the fallen boy. They just made her look like a liar!

"Don't worry we'll be careful, good distraction sis!" Anna called. However, at the same moment a lightning bolt struck down in front of Anna, making her cringe, and jump backward.

"You lied to me!" Kaji shouted over the wind of the snow day. Lightning bolts struck down around the area as a dark cloud formed over the area.

Kaji felt so stupid. He listened to his heart and trusted Elsa but she turned out to just be distracting him so they could get a hit on him! Well he wasn't going to be fooled again!

"Quickly!" Kristoff said. Anna nodded and they quickly ran toward the rising boy.

Kaji glanced at the two approaching people and clenched his fists. It was time for him to warm up his skills.

Kristoff tried to swing at him with his pickaxe but Kaji spun around the strike and kicked him in the back, sending him into the snow.

Then he twisted around to grab hold of Anna's fist before it connected to his body. They stared at each other for a few moments before Anna tried to hit him again, but then he pushed her arm aside, and used the momentum to spin around her and deliver a elbow to her back.

"AH!" Anna screamed as she fell to her knees, Kaji had given her a small shock when he hit her.

"Anna!" Elsa screamed as she rushed forward. She didn't want to hurt Kaji but she didn't want her sister to get hurt, either. She sent a furry of ice bolts at the boy, and much to her shock, he avoided each one, gracefully like he already knew where they were.

"You lied to me!" Kaji accused as he fired a bolt at Elsa. She barely had time to raise an ice shield, which barely held the blast back.

"I didn't lie to you! I wasn't trying to distract you!" Elsa yelled.

"You lie!" Kaji said. He knew that he didn't have the energy to last too long, but he couldn't leave her to chase him, she'd just come after him again!

"If bolts won't work then maybe this will…" he thought as he drew his sword. The blade was a pure silver long sword that gleamed in the light. He sprinted toward Elsa, ready to take her down.

"Dang it!" Elsa cursed as she quickly conjured up a lance made of ice to block his sword when he swiped at her. The force was hard but she held firm as their blades entered a lock.

"I'm trying to help you!" Elsa shouted. Kaji pressed his blade against her lance harder, angered by her words.

"More lies! You're just going to turn me over!" he accused.

"No! I'm not! You're not well! I can help you! We can help you!" Elsa said. Kaji seemed to take pause to ponder her words.

"How can I be sure?" he asked. He felt his energy waning. Kaji knew he was done; there was no way he was going to win against a fresh power wielder like Elsa. He didn't have much choice but to see if she meant what she had said.

"As a fellow wielder of power to another…I know that it's a heavy burden, and that you're afraid. I've been there…so please trust me…" Elsa soothed. She felt his pressure lessen until he pulled away and fell to his knee, placing his sword back in it's scabbard.

"I guess I'm at your mercy them…" he said shakily as the cloud over them dispersed. Then he collapsed into a heap on the snowy ground. He was spent…

"Anna, Kirstoff, Sven, Olaf, guys come on and help me! We're taking him back home to Arendelle…" she ordered.
