A/N- Welcome to chapter one! So have you guys seen Frozen yet? I just saw it last night and totally loved it 3 So of course I decided to write a fanfiction. I chose this storyline mainly because Ana already had so much happiness, I figured Elsa needed a little more. Thus I created this story, and poofed up Aleksander Matthias, a dark haired guy who just might be able to stand by this icy Snow Queen ;) Enjoy, you guys!

A/N- Oh, and if anyone wants to use Zander (Aleksander Matthias) with Elsa in future fanfics, feel free, just maybe mention my name... lol. But you don't have to mention me if ya don't want... Kinda doubt anyone would use him anyway, although that would be beyond flattering *hint hint* Lol, read on! And please review!

Chapter One:

The woods were quiet, forgotten by the citizens of Arendelle, as they all slept peacefully in their beds. It was midnight and the moon was full in the dark sky above, stars shining in a way that the modern man could rarely see. Here there were no street lights or glowing signs to glare away the magnificent glow of the burning stars. Wind rustled through the trees quietly, the scene peaceful and serene as the night critters emerged to play. The quiet was- wait. What is this? Oh dear, it's that little girl again.

Princess Elsa came crashing in the woods, trying to be quiet but failing desperately. Of course, in the young child's mind, she was as stealthy as any fox. Her feet crunched against the dying leaves that dwelt on the forest floor, scaring off the animals that had been enjoying themselves nearby. They were not very angry, however, due to the fact that they had become quite used to the noisy girl who came and visited their woods in the dark of night so often.

Now, if the poor girl's parents had discovered what she was doing, and what she had been doing for quite some time really, they would have been horrified. Her dear mother would have fainted on the spot, most likely being caught by the stunned father as she fell. You see, it was quite dangerous for little Elsa to be out here all by herself. The wild animals were one thing, of course, but what was more serious would be the human predators. She was a princess, after all, and even in Arendelle that could be risky. There were always crooks looking for ways to get money, or someone looking to obtain the throne.

Gleefully unaware of any sense of danger, little Elsa marched happily on, giggling as quietly as she possibly could, thought of course it wasn't very quiet at all. Once she had gotten far enough into the woods, the child looked around cautiously, a grin on her face as she took in the emptiness of the woods. There was no one here but her, she could finally be herself.

At home she was allowed to use her magic, but she always had to hold back. Her parents told her that she needed to use the magic as little as possible, so she didn't strain herself or become too weak. They didn't understand, though. It hurt not to use her gift, and she was just ever so curious as to what all she could do. So the little princess had come up with a solution, it was about a year ago, back when she was still four, when she had snuck out the first time. She would only leave the castle for a couple of hours, running to the woods where she could practice her skills.

Taking in a deep breath, Elsa lifted her hands up so she could examine them, turning the small palms around as she looked all over them. How did it work? Why did she have these abilities? And best of all, what all could she do with them?

Thrusting one hand forward, the young girl watched with amazed eyes as ice shot up from the ground, still in awe of the things she had been born able to do. Cocking her head slightly, the child scrunched up her small nose in sudden apprehension. The ice looked so spiky and… dangerous. Hmm.

Moving her hand out slowly, she waved it in front of the ice in a gentle movement, almost as if she were trying to caress the wicked looking object. It immediately began to smooth over, as if wanting to please her, and started to take a new shape. When she was done there was a sculpture of amazing ability standing before her, though of course she did not understand that she was the one who had the great skill to make the beautiful object. It was in the shape of an ornament, like one you might hang on a Christmas tree, only ever so much larger. The statue was just as tall as she was, and rounder too. It had rather pretty designs running across it, leaving the princess very pleased.

"Beautiful…" She whispered quietly, staring at the object in a daze. Such in a state of amazement was she, that the poor thing did not even notice the shadow coming her way. It stretched its way towards her, showing that something was coming closer. Elsa was completely unaware as the bushes right behind her began to rustle more loudly, not at all caused by the wind. She didn't even hear the soft footsteps coming towards her in the snow.

"Whoa." The amazed, yet rather blunt, whisper finally got the girl's attention, making her jump to a height she had not thought she was able to reach before. Surprisingly, Elsa let out just a small whimper, opposed to the loud scream one might expect from a girl like herself. "What?"

The voice questioned her as if her sudden jump and whimper was the strange part of the last few seconds, not the fact that this person had snuck up on her when she had thought to be all alone. Elsa's heart was beating at a pace that might resemble a rabbit's, but eventually she calmed down enough to take in the appearance of this intruder.

It was a little boy! Why, what in the world was this young boy doing out here in the middle of the woods, at such late an hour at that? His parents were probably worried sick, is what Elsa thought. Though I am afraid she would be wrong. This particular little boy lived with his grandmother in those exact woods, his parents having had passed away last summer. Though there is no disrespect intended towards the elderly woman at all, his grandmother was not an ideal caretaker. She was bedridden, to be frank, and would refuse to get up if her life depended on it. So the roles had been reversed on this poor little boy, he himself caring for his grandmother as she slept away her remaining days.

He had unruly black hair, going wildly in all directions, and very strange green eyes. They were filled with wonder at the moment, but Elsa thought it was quite sad to look into them. Of course, she had no way of knowing the situation he was in, but she thought his eyes carried a heaviness to them she had not seen before.

"W-who are you?" The princess finally spoke up, extremely nervous around strangers, as she had not been around very many. Oh, her family wasn't reclusive, but most of the time she was kept inside and away from guests when they did come.

"Oh, right." The boy said, his eyes lighting up as he seemed to suddenly remember what he was suppose to do, as he threw his hand out towards her very bluntly. "I'm Zander. Who're you?"

"Oh, um, n-nice to meet you Z-Zander. My name is Princess E-Elsa." The little girl with white hair stuttered out, the boy cocking his head at her nervousness. People sure were strange, what reason did she have to be so jittery? Oh, maybe he had scared her or something! Oops.

"A princess, huh? I guess that's kinda neat. Anyway, what's this ice thing doing out here in the woods, it's only September, it's not supposed to snow for another month or so." Zander said, almost accusingly, as if disturbing the seasons were a great insult to him.

"Oh, I-uh, um, I," Elsa stuttered as she began to back away from the boy, suddenly scared that he would hurt her if he told him the truth. Her father had said that some people wouldn't like that she had these abilities, that they might think she was a witch or something, and this boy was already glaring at her like she had done something wrong. Suddenly she yelped and began to fall, having tripped over a tree root while walking slowly backwards, a small 'thud' sounding out soon afterward as she hit the ground. "Ow."

The boy, seeing her fall, walked towards her quickly to see if she had hurt herself or needed any help. When Elsa looked up to see him coming to her, however, she thought that Zander was trying to hurt her and began to freak out a little. She threw her hands out in front of her as if to block a hit, causing the boy stop in amazement, he wouldn't ever hit a girl! But then he noticed something. He wasn't standing in front of her anymore… he was pinned down against a tree trunk by three pointy spikes of ice. They had come right from her when she lifted her hands like that! How? What was going on?

"…. Cool!" He cheered after a few moments of stunned silence between them where Elsa had been freaking out even more thinking she might have hurt him. This sudden statement made her look up at him in amazement. He thought that her magic was… cool? A grin slowly grew on her face, this night had suddenly taken a surprisingly cheerful turn.
