Chapter 1: A Believer

The young child lay in the lavishly decorated cradle. She blinked slowly in the dark but she remained silent.

The King and Queen had retired to bed. They agreed with no doubt that she was a strange child. She did not cry much, she did not fuss and she seemed to be able to understand what was going around her without any help. The noises she made even had a strange frosty quality to it.

They sometimes found a light dusting of snow that would not melt on the sheets of her cradle. So they worried and called for doctors, but they all could not find anything wrong with her, except for her body temperature which was slightly lower. She remained silent, never making a single sound that expressed happiness and she rarely smiled. It was as if she was born without the ability to feel happiness.

Months passed by and it was the end of fall again, her birthday. Princess Elsa's first birthday.

Arendelle was busy, busy preparing for Her Young Majesty's birthday. The party itself was a huge success but she remained impossibly stoic throughout the entire day. The ladies, duchesses and queens from neighboring countries doted on her and tried to make her laugh but she did not even move her lips to smile even once.

These ladies were ladies of high upbringing and they were extremely sensitive people. They were quickly offended by the young princess's lack of response and left in groups, starting rumors and gossiping. This, of course, did not escape the notice of the King and he sighed. He had been hoping that being around other people will help her open up.

The party ended fairly early, to accommodate to the princess's bedtime.

The King and Queen returned to their sleeping chambers with the princess and left her in her connecting room. The Queen stepped out on to the large balcony but retreated back into the room quickly for the temperature was starting to decrease.

Fall was over. Winter was arriving.

She opened her eyes once again after being left in her cradle. She could feel that something was changing just as she did for the first month after she was born. A sudden cold breeze entered the room. She was so pleased by the temperature that she smiled one of her very rare smiles.

Jack knew why he was there. He had heard about the strange young princess of Arendelle and decided to pay her a visit. He was strangely drawn to the young child and felt slightly protective of her, even though he had never met her before. Maybe it was because of the vicious rumors he heard from the ladies who had attended the party. He walked towards the cradle careful to not make any noise.

Most children would shrink away from the cold but this child seemed to like it, maybe even welcome it. This young princess was blonde, her hair nearly as white as his. He looked down to her face and was shocked.

He found eyes the exact same shade as his staring straight back at him. He had this feeling that she was communicating with him with her large expressive blue orbs. Wait a moment, she could see him? She was watching him with a curious little smile playing on her lips.

Jack gaped at her, "You can see me?" Her smile widened at the sound of his voice. "You can hear me too?" She grinned toothily at him, revealing her pink gums and small but extremely white teeth that Tooth would kill to get her hands on.

He smiled joyously back at her. He had his very first believer. He raised his hands above her cradle and created a few snowflakes to float above her. She eagerly swatted at them, trying to catch them but Jack made sure they stayed close enough to tempt her but out of her reach. She laughed and Jack chuckled softly back at her.

She pointed at him and then to the snowflakes before bursting into the most adorable fit of giggles ever. Then suddenly when she was pointing at him again, a small jet of snow escaped her fingers. His face was covered in snow.

He looked incredulously back at her. He was extremely sure that he did not make that happen. She was still giggling. Could she be? Could she be like him? But she was too young to be a guardian. He wiped the snow thoughtfully away from his face.

He did not realize that he was so deep in his thoughts until a small hand poked him in the side. He jumped and looked down quickly, spotting her hand sticking out from the bars of the cradle.

He grinned, reaching into the cradle and tickled her. She laughed loudly, squirming and trying to escape. Her laughter roused the King from his sleep. Jack saw that he was stirring and knew that it was time for him to go. He stroked her cheek and she clutched at his hand tightly. He gently pried her hands off and promised her to visit again soon. He smiled at her and she giggled. Then he left the room, lingering at window.

The King stood at the doorway of the young princess's room, not believing his ears. For the first time, he heard her laugh and his heart lifted. He walked over to the cradle and picked her up, joyfully swinging her around. The Queen also woke up and joined them. Meeting Jack was like opening a gate within Elsa, she laughed and she giggled until she yawned widely, ready to go to back to sleep.

The proud parents stood beside her cradle and watched her fall into a deep slumber.

It was only when they were leaving, the Queen realized the windows were open and that they were already frosted over.

Frosted over even though winter had gotten cold enough yet.

I do not own Frozen or Rise Of The Guardians. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, I will continue this fic according to your responce. :)

I know my style of writing in this fic is a bit formal and let me tell you that I usually do not write like that. I'm usually much more humorous.

And since Jack and Elsa is in the story now, I'm going to lighten up the atmosphere.

Review and Favorite for cute baby Elsa.

Yours truly,

Reina
