Chapter 10

Playing With Fire

Sadly, I don't own frozen. But it would be fun if I did! ;)

Elsa blinked as she looked at the creature Kristoff was showing her. "So this is your horse?" She asked, unsure if it even was a horse. But it was like nothing she'd ever seen before. The creature had huge antlers on top of its head.

"Well, actually. He's a Deer, a Red Deer to be exact. I doubt you royal types have ever seen anything out in the wild." Kristoff told her, patted the deers back.

She couldn't make out if that last part was a compliment or an insult, but she wasn't really bothered right now. All she cared about was finding her sister. "Yea, well.." She didn't know what to say, so he spoke for her instead. "His names Sven. Sven, meet Elsa." The Deer walked over to Elsa, sniffing her. She smiled, brushing her hand through his fur and his tongue lolled out, making her giggle. He scampered back to Kristoff.

Soon the three of them were riding out on a sleigh, pulled by Sven. The deer was obviously used to this kind of work, having to pull tonnes of ice each day. Sven sped up, going quickly and soon he started to gallop. Kristoff looked at Elsa. "We like to go fast" He said and she smiled, putting her feet up on the dashboard. "I like fast."

"Wow wow, put your feet down." He forced her feet down, quite disapproving of her. "This is fresh lacquer. Seriously, were you raised in a barn?" She was about to answer him when he spat, trying to clean the dashboard but at the speed they were going, it blew in her face instead. She grimaced, wiping it out of her eyes. "No, I was raised in a castle." No matter how hot it was, it wasn't nice to get cold spit in your face.

Mount Rytist

Up on the volcano, Anna was testing her powers. She felt so free, so she was trying everything, seeing what she could do. In the middle of her palace, she shot her hand out, making the floor in front of her ignite with a burning flame. She orchestrated the flame, shaping it. She changed its shape to a dove, and let it fly. The burning dove flew from the ground, almost like it had a mind of its own.

She giggled, amazed at her power and made the dove swoop down towards her. She reached her hand out and touched it, feeling the burning warmth it emanated. It felt almost solid, but her hand went through it completely. This saddened her, she wanted to make this thing real, alive. She wondered it she could do that. Well, the only thing she could do was try.

In the Forest

They had been riding for half an hour now, with both Kristoff and Elsa were silent, listening to the beat of Sven's hooves on the ground. Then finally, Kristoff asked a question. "So, what made the Queen go all fire crazy?"

Elsa sighed, at least they had something to talk about. "Oh.. Well it was all my fault. I got engaged but then she freaked out, because I'd only just met him, you know, that day. And she said she wouldn't bless the marriage-"

Kristoff was looking at her in complete and utter confusion when he cut her off. "Wait. You got engaged to someone you just met that day?"

She carried on, not totally listening to him. "Yeah. Anyway, I got mad and so she got mad and she tried to walk away and I grabbed her glove-

He looked at her and glared, turning to her. "Hang on. You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone you just met that day?!" He almost yelled at her.

"Yes. Pay attention. But the thing is she wore the gloves all the time, so I just thought, maybe she has a thing about dirt." She said, looking at her hands, she was pretty sure she was getting a bit sunburned.

He got up close too her. "Didn't your parents ever warn you about strangers?"

She looked him up and down and nervously slide away from him. "Yes they did.. But Hans is not a stranger." She smiled.

He rolled his eyes at her and smiled, turning back to the front of the sled. "Oh yeah? What's his last name?"

She looked at him like it was obvious. "Of the southern Isles."

"What's his favourite food?"

She thought back to their song. "S'mores."

"Best friend's name?"

She blinked, thinking for a name. "Probably Jerry."

"Eye colour?"

"Dreamy." She smiled

"Foot size?"

"Foot size doesn't matter." She told him, why was he asking her these questions?

"Have you had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the way he eats? What if you hate the way he picks his nose?"

She looked at him weirdly. "Picks his nose?"

"And eats it." He said smugly.

"Excuse me, sir. He is a prince." She glared at him.

"All men do it." He said defensively.

"Ew. Look it doesn't matter; it's true love."

"Doesn't sound like true love."

"Are you some sort of love expert?" She put on her glare again.

"No. But I have friends who are."

She laughed. "You have friends who are love experts... I'm not buying it."

Sven suddenly stopped, pricking his ears up and looking around in the bright lit day. Kristoff looked around too. "Stop talking." He told Elsa.

"No no no, I'd like to meet these-" He clammed his hand over her mouth to shut her up. She grumbled angrily and pulled his hand away. She was about to say something again when she interrupted her. "I mean it." He said quietly. The woods were eerily quiet, not even a bird was tweeting. Then he heard a low growl from near them and his eyes widened. "Sven, go!"

Sven instantly started galloping as quickly as he could and Elsa looked at Kristoff, a little worried. "What's going on?"

"Wolves." They started to hear thing running near them. "We must have woken them up."

She looked around, a little scared. "Wolves, what do we do?"

"I've got this. You just.. don't fall off and don't get eaten." He said quickly, she wasn't going to be any help at all.

"But I want to help!" She said, a bit disappointing. This was the most adventure she'd ever had.

"No."

"Why not?" She asked.

"Because I don't trust your judgement."

She blinked. "Excuse me!?" She yelled, really annoyed.

Just when she said that, a wolf pounced at them from the side of the sled, but luckily Kristoff reacted quickly, kicking it off and sent it hurtling backwards into a tree. "Who marries a man she just met?" Kristoff yelled, grunting.

She glared at him, grabbing a guitar she found on the sled and swung it at Kristoff''s head. "Its true love!" She roared and instead of hitting Kristoff, the guitar hits a wolf that just pounced.

Mount Rytist

She had been practicing ever since she had made the dove, trying it over and over again. She created a fox, deer, falcon and even an elephant, but each creature were just fire. They weren't firm and weren't actually alive.

She sighed in frustration, and then she had a thought. Maybe the lava would help? It had made her palace solid, maybe it could make her animals solid too? She willed some lava to come too her, and she used her fire as well. The lava and fire swirled together in the air and she shaped it into a snowman. It was the closest she was going to get to building one without melting it.

She made the lava shape into two balls, and placed them on top of each other. Then she used some more to make the head, but she made it shape different. She wanted this snowman to be special. After she was finished she looked at her work.

Because of the fire, the lava hadn't cooled really, it still looked orange and molten, but it wasn't hot like that. She had shaped some of the lava into twigs, using some for arms and for some hair on his had. He had a mouth, with one buck tooth. She grinned at her work, now came the hard bit.

In the Forest

Elsa and Kristoff were still in the sled, trying to keep the wolfs off as Sven galloped. But then they heard the sound of Sven grunt in shock, and they both looked forward, seeing the massive gorge ahead.

Elsa panicked and called to Sven. "Get ready to jump, Sven!"

"You don't tell him what to do!" Kristoff shoved a satchel in her arms and scooped her up, tossing her onto Sven. "I do!" He unhooked Sven's harness and shouted. "Jump, Sven!"

Sven jumped, landing on the other side of the gorge with Elsa on his back. Kristoff's sled followed them, but it lost momentum and he leaped off, slamming onto the side of the cliff. He looked down at the ground, watching his sled break into pieces at the bottom of the gorge. "..But I just paid it off."

Elsa came running over too him, helping him up before he can slip off the edge. When they were out of danger, he collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. Elsa watched the wolves stop at the edge of the other side of the gorge, growling at them.

She looked at Kristoff nervously. "I'll replace your sled and everything in it." She heard him groan. "And I understand if you don't want to help me anymore." She started to walk away sadly.

Soon Sven had had a conversation with Kristoff and they were walking after her. "Hold up. We're coming!" Kristoff said with a groan.

Elsa looked at him and stopped. "You are?! I mean, sure. I'll let you tag along."

Kristoff laughed as he followed her, with Sven tagging along behind.

Mount Rytist

Anna closed her eyes, trying to make her power build. It began to rage inside her and she knelt by the makeshift snowman. She opened her eyes and blew on the snowman's head, letting her added warmth flow to it. She looked at it, hoping it would work.

At first, she was disappointing as nothing happened. It mustn't have worked. But then, she could have sworn she'd seen it blink. She concentrated on it and then, to her amazement. It twitched its arm and flexed it. It looked at her and smiled, opening its mouth and spoke. "Hi, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"

She squealed with delight at her knew found power. She has just created life! She had just brought this.. lavaman to life! She picked him up and hugged him. "Yes, Olaf! Yes you do!" She giggled, as he hugged her back.

A/N: Yey, finally we get to see Olaf! I was a bit conflicted at first, wondering if I could just leave him out of the story all together. But in the end, I decided the story couldn't do without :) We'll get to see more Olaf next chapter. ;)

Shinigamilover2: Yep, I just had to add something like that for Kristoff somewhere! XD
