I give you Chapter 1.
In the small kingdom of Arendelle, a little dirty blond haired girl with crystal blue eyes was out playing in the winter's cold. She was practicing her ice skating for a race the next day, with only a snowman for company as it's lifeless stone eyes watched her skate back and forth as fast as she could across the ice.
The girl came to a slow stop and looked across the pond, her foot lowered onto the snowy land behind her, her fingers clenched in anticipation, and with a mighty war cry, she charged. Her skates took one step in front of the other as she glided across the pond in full speed. Her eyes never wavered from her target -the other bank across the pond. She lowered herself to make herself smaller against the icy wind that chapped across her face. In her head she was counting the seconds, trying to beat her time for her last rush, and when she neared her marker, she slowed to a stop.
Dang it! She had been so close! She had nearly shaved a second off of her best time! She panted a bit and glided over to her snowman, ready to take a break. She'd been racing back and forth on the ice for a little more then an hour now, and she was tired. She plopped down to her perfect snowman and looked into his lifeless eyes. The snowman's twig arms were opened just so, and it felt like he was welcoming her in for a warm hug.
She gently wrapped her arms around her icy friend, and felt the tears of frustration fall down her cheeks.
"I'm never going to get it right!" She screamed. She collapsed next to the snowman and looked up at the grey sky. "What am I going to do, Olaf? The race is tomorrow and Prince Alrekr will never let me forget if I loose to him or one of his stupid friends tomorrow. I mean, it's like he has no other purpose in life except to make mine as miserable as possible. He's already chased off all my friends."
The snowman gave no answer to the girl's inquiry.
"It's not like the answer is just going to fall out of the sky."
The clouds parted and a beam of light shot down to earth, landing in the middle of the lake. The girl shot up and shielded her eyes from the bright light, and when it finally fell away, there was a strange man standing in the middle of the lake.
The girl's jaw dropped open as she stared at the stranger. She looked up to the sky and screamed, "I could also use some hot chocolate, a puppy, and a new best friend!" There was a pause, but a second light did not follow.
"What in the realms are you yapping about, mortal?" a voice asked. The girl turned her attention back to the man.
"Nothing." she said quickly. She got up and started to walk on the ice when a large crack sounded. Both looked to the stranger's feet. Along with a circle of weird markings was a long crack right between his legs.
"Don't move." She cautioned. The man stayed still, his eyes wide with fear as he looked at the crack between his legs. The girl took a slow step onto the ice, pleased that no further cracks had been made where she stepped, she took another.
More cracking filled the air, and they both saw tiny cracks branching off of the original crack in between the stranger's legs. "Move!" she screamed at him. The man jumped to the side, trying to avoid the circle that had damaged the ice, but he was too short, and the girl watched in horror as the ice gave way and the man fell through. She ran back to land to grab a rope out of her backpack, a precaution that she had thought useless at the time, but was now grateful to have. She ran to the tree nearest to the bank and was counting seconds as she tied two quick knots- one around her, and the other around the tree.
The girl ran across the pond to the hole in the lake, she jumped into the frigid depts. It took a few scary moments to get over the shock the sudden cold was giving her system, but she opened her eyes and tried to look through the blurry darkness for the stranger she had just met.
Her eyes stung badly, and the cold water felt as though it was starting to pierce through her skin. There! A flash of pale skin caught her attention and she swam towards it. It was an arm. She grabbed the arm and started swimming back up to the surface. The man was heavy, but she broke through the thin sheet of ice that had already started to form. She used the rope to pull them both out of the water. She shivered and looked at the strange man.
He wasn't breathing.
Remembering a trick her brother had used on her when she was choking, she slammed her arms against the man's stomach. The man's eyes flew open and he started to cough out water.
The girl shivered. "Fire. W-we need f-fire." She stuttered out. The two of them crawled back to land and then pulled her backpack open again. Her brother had given her emergency equipment in case she got caught up in the storm that was coming. Originally he hadn't wanted her to go out at all, but in her stubbornness she hadn't listened and he eventually gave up and handed her the backpack. She was glad to have it now.
"W-we need to keep m-moving. F-find f-firewood." She told the man. The man nodded, shivered, and went to grab a nearby dead and fallen tree that was sticking out of the snow. The tree wasn't heavy, but the girl could see it looked like a huge burden to a man that was struggling to move. The girl dug through the snow until she reached dirt, the man broke the dread tree, and with the help of a lighter, they had a fire going. Being near the fire helped, but she was still freezing.
She pulled out a blanket and a change of clothes.
"D-don't look." She warned the man from the sky. She changed and then handed him the blanket. She stayed near the fire as the man took off his wet clothes. He returned shortly with the blanket wrapped around his body. They both drew closer to the fire.
"Y-you saved my life." The man said.
"What else w-was I going to d-do?" the girl replied. "I'm Sara." she told him.
The man was silent, he did not reply to her unspoken question. "If your not going to tell me your name, then I'm going to have to make one up for you." She finally said to him. She looked around until her eyes landed on her snowman. "Well?" She asked him again. Sara knew he could talk, he was just being stubborn. "Fine then. Your name is Olaf, and I declare that you like warm hugs!" There was an incredulous silence. The man, now dubbed Olaf, was staring at her like some sort of alien. "When we're all warmed up, do you want to build a snowman?" The staring continued.
So? What do you think? Anyone have any idea who Sara is supposed to be? (They didn't name her in the movie so I made up a name for her.) If you can, you get an imaginary hug from "Olaf" ^.~ * * And no, Shi-shi, you can't guess because you already know.
With Love,
Nata
