Sorry for the delay on this series. I hope you enjoy!

This is the introduction to the LECTW: Through the AU! Series a new project I picked up after getting inspired by momoxtoshiro. (Thank you Hana). Although she doesn't write for Frozen, she writes a lot of AU's which helps with the ideas that I need to keep this going.

But other than that, I hope you enjoy this first installment!

Side note: Unbetaed, so all mistakes are mine.

Through the Tails Part 1

Anna was pretty excited about today, so much that her tail couldn't stop wagging as her head kept bobbing back and forth toward the clock and to her human Rapunzel. She scratched at the floor to grab her attention to the clock as it was almost time.

"Down Anna, I see the time." Rapunzel joked toward Anna, a very rare but bright orange golden retriever too often spoiled with long walks to the park.

It was almost 5 o'clock her usual time for her daily walk and it's by far her favorite activity to do with her human. Other than getting scratches behind her ear, eating roast beef on special occasions, or getting a bath.

Rapunzel playfully rolled her eyes, and placed the leash on her collar, "Alright alright girl we're going for a walk now."

Orange paws scratch hurriedly against the door, barking happily at the statement. "C'mon c'mon I wanna see what's out there today!"

But her human decided to take a different route this one time. They did cross their usual path toward the park, but she was steered to enter the streets of Arendelle. And Anna didn't mind one bit, there was just more people to see. She really did like people so it's an extra treat for her. Sure enough Anna was pretty excited and sniffed about.

But something curious got the better of her. It was a weird scent in the air, enticing but very subtle. If Anna wasn't all about sniffing the new route in front of her, she was sure to miss it.

The tug against her collar signaled the pup that she had to keep moving, after all her human had to finish the walk eventually. The pup dug her heels and proceeded to drag her owner back to the crosswalk where she caught the scent.

"Anna, c'mon girl this isn't the way home." Her human grunted under their breath. Her human can try and try again and again, but Anna was just too strong to deter her from her path.

Anna had to snort under her breath, "Well obviously not."

Pressing her nose to the ground, (unsanitary I know), she managed to kitten the scent again, and followed it through the waves of people. The incessant tugging mean that her human was struggling to keep up with Anna's perseverance to find that smell. She urged her human to keep up with her until they rounded into a corner into an alley.

Her human sighed and bent down to stare at Anna's green orbs in confusion, "Anna, what's gotten into you?"

Anna whined one more and gave her owner a lick to the face, "Trust me there's something here."

A rattle of cans and bottles, caught both of their attention. On instinct Anna put herself in front of the sound and growled under her breath.

Her eyes were moving back and forth and back and forth till her eyes caught sight of a mass in the pocket of a wall. The wall itself was a pasty white, but the holes and cracks around it showed the wear and tear of the industry in it.

There was a pocket that stemmed from a crack that made Anna curious. After all that's where the sound came from Anna concluded.

"Anna…" Her human warned. And she should listen, and after all it could be a threat. Instead of baring her teeth at the noise, she merely cocked her head to the side and slowly inched forward.

She sat on her haunches and look down, sniffing once more. Surely whatever she was looking for was bound to be here. Besides her nose never fails her. There was a lump in the opening if Anna didn't look hard enough, she might've missed it and never looked back. Anna reached a paw out to poke at it, just a little bit.

There was no movement from it, until Anna poke at it again.

A small mew escaped and Anna's tail started to wag wildly.

Another poke and another small mew. Weak and soft, but it was there. She was the scent that Anna was looking for.

The small lump turned, and weakly looked at Anna with weary eyes before flopping its head back on the ground, possibly hoping to blend against the bleak walls so that Anna didn't see it. The slight feminine scent under the waves of odor, made Anna realize it was a small…very small female kitten.

Her coat ragged, and unkempt, definitely matted. But Anna guessed that she had a coat that most kittens would envy. Almost pure white, with subtle black stripes running across her back. If it wasn't for the messy fur, Anna and her human would probably mistake her for a rag that would be left forgotten. And probably left to die.

Anna pawed at the kitten's limp body, and pushed her nose against it's head wanting to see more of the kitten, but the kitten didn't even raise a paw to thing was shaking, wheezing, and malnourished and seem like it didn't had the energy to move away from Anna's prying nose.

Her human tugged her away, despite Anna's whines. "Anna…please she might attack."

"She won't even look at me."

Anna gently opened her mouth to tug the small kitten from the scruff of her neck. She pulled as gently as she could so that the small kitten can be exposed to her human.

The kitten made no effort to resist. The energy made to escape probably would almost leave her unconscious, and probably dead. Anna sat back on her haunches and gave her owner a bark of desperation. Her human's face had like a mix of confusion, then horror, and then finally realization.

Anna ears perked up when she heard her human whisper, "She probably won't make it tonight…"

That fact made Anna's tail finally stop wagging and she peered down to see the kitten take shaky breaths.

It sounded so hoarse and so faint. More whines escaped Anna's throat.

Her human motioned Anna to move toward the kitten on the floor, and then told her to stay until she returns, and then Anna watched her human take off away from the alley.

The pup knew better to stray from her spot, and laid next to the kitten with her tail curling over the top of the shaky form. "I'll watch her until my human returns. "

She looked down once more and growled to herself."If she makes it through this…I'll watch her for the rest of my life. "

Before she knew it, her human returned breathing heavily but in her hands there was blankets. Anna's tail started to wag once more, happy that her human had a change of heart.

Her human cradled the kitten gently to her chest, coaxing the small feline to mew for her. The kitten merely blinked listlessly and shook once could hear the frustration of the situation in her human's voice. But softened when the small kitten looked at her human with what could possibly look like pair ran back down the route they used on their walks, they needed to get this little kitten to a nearby pet hospital.

Her human angrily called for a vet, making sure that her voice echoed loud enough for faster care. The double doors open and out came the vet looking flustered with the small frail body in her arms.

He motioned her owner to hand over the kitten before telling her to wait in the lobby until he returns which could take a while. Anna cried out after the kitten was taken away, and it took all of Rapunzel's patience to calm her.

"Anna, please. I'm sure she'll be okay. Just wait girl, I promise."

Anna was not satisfied with that answer, but for now…there was nothing she can do.

Presently two hours had passed as Anna watched with her human pace back and forth, talking furiously under her breath.

Anna couldn't move as much as her human could as she was attached by a leash. But she didn't like staying put in her position, she hated smelling the stench of clean, polished floors with all it's chemicals. It's hard to distinguish the cat's presence which was probably the only thing that was making the dog more anxious than normal. Yet she'll tolerate it, as there are other important things to worry about.

Her thoughts couldn't help but lead to the small kitten, I hope she's okay.

Anna's ears perked when she heard the vet pop through the double doors, but drooped once more when she didn't see the bundle of fluff in her arms.

Based from the hand motions, the raised voices, Anna whined.

"You got really lucky with her, Ms. Corona But you're right she might not even make the night. Her body temperature is too low to sustain her, and very malnourished, and suffered broken bones and even if she does make it, she might not mentally or socially recover since she might possibly have depression."

The doctor shook his head, "But I am glad that you brought her here. At least here, I was able to give her a bath, and attempted to feed her just a little bit."

Her human sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Is there anything I can do now? I mean…she's all alone, and I don't think Anna would want to leave her here."

The doctor nodded, "Maybe I can pull in a couple favors for you, but I'll see what I can do for now."

With that the vet left, and it was just Anna and Rapunzel waiting patiently for any good it wasn't long when he returned, the doctor once again looks solemn but did permit only Anna to stay behind to keep the kitten company.

"I would want you to stay Ms. Corona unfortunately it's against protocol. But I can keep Anna here, as she is a pet and this is a hospital intended for pets."

The vet smiled warmly at him, "After all, she sounds like great company for the kitten."

Kristoff shifted his feet, his eyes unsure whether or not it was sane for him to leave Anna alone for practically a day. Then again Anna was guaranteed a walk, food, water and a bed for the night.

"If it's alright, and Anna is well behaved, she brought me to the kitten anyways. Thank you Doctor."

"Of course, and I'll be open the first thing in the morning."

Rapunzel was then brought Anna to the kitten, who laid prone on the kitten bed, and on her side unmoving. There was bandages wrapped across it's belly, even all her paws were covered with bandages.

But she was alive…albeit barely.

Her fur was shaved from it's matted mess, and pristine white cloak shined through.

Rapunzel bent down on her knee, and left behind the (now washed) blanket that she used to carry her in. She tucked it tenderly under her head and pressed a small kiss on it's pawed at the side of the bed, anxious to see the kitten. Rapunzel chuckled and gently lifted the retriever up on the Anna would bound over with a bundle of energy. But instead she padded slowly, as if any extra unnecessary movement would might probably jostle the kitten and put her in more pain.

Anna laid her body much like the way she did in the alley, and draped her tail against the body effectively putting the kitten in a constant state of her green eyes Anna looked up at her human and wuffed under her breath, "I'll be here for her."

Rapunzel gave Anna a small scratch on the ear and whispered, "Take good care of her for me Anna. I hope she gets better."

With that her human left leaving the pup and the kitten in a circle together, sharing warmth…sharing life.

And Anna laid there every vigilante of her new found friend. With any movement at all, Anna froze to see if there was going to be any sign that the kitten was going to improve.

"Why do I still call her a kitten…I wish I knew her name…" Anna sighed, and let out a yawn, "Maybe if she wakes up…I'll ask her name…and maybe I'll ask her to stay with me."

She nudged the little head once more and gave the kitten an affectionate lick as softly as she can. The kitten a little, and to Anna's surprise, curled tighter against her own larger frame. She was almost cocooned in a ball of warmth that alone made Anna tail wag just slightly.

She wouldn't jostle her anymore of the night and settled her head against the sheets.

Maybe, just maybe that might be enough for tonight.

Author Note:
