The Princess and the Dragon Rider

Chapter 5: A frosty encounter

Hiccup has been living with the royal family for a week now and it was already the best week of his life. His father Stoick had left to go back to Berk three days ago but surprisingly to Stoick and himself he wasn't afraid and nervous at all, Anna had made sure of that. Hiccup might know Anna only for a week but the two had already become great friends. Anna had seen Hiccup around the castle and the boy already loved his temporary home, he would stay with them for the next three months.

King Agnar and Queen Idun were very nice to him like second parents, and Idun could become the mother figure that was missing from his life. He didn't really miss Berk thought except Gobber and his father. Everyone there was mean to him for no reason especially his cousin Snotlout and the twins.

However, there was one person Hiccup hadn't even seen yet in the palace. Anna's mysterious big sister. The only thing he knew about her was that her name was Elsa, she was 3 years older than Anna and that they were really close a year ago until one day for some reason Elsa shut her out.

Being the curious boy that he was, Hiccup always wanted to meet that big sister and maybe find out what Anna did wrong. He might only know Anna for a week but he knew that Anna didn't deserve to be treated like this especially from her own sister.

But everything would change soon. Today Hiccup and Anna woke up earlier than usual, the two were sleeping in the same room as they were siblings.

"The last one who arrives at the dining room is a rotten egg!" The hyperactive princess yelled with excitement as she ran out of the room. Hiccup followed, of course, Anna was way faster than he was leaving him behind without even realizing it. Hiccup was running with all his might with a huge smile on his face until he bumped into something or rather someone in the middle of the hall.

Hiccup fell to the ground, he felt a huge pain in his head but quickly ignored it when he saw who he bumped into. It was a girl around his age with platinum hair and she was wearing a nice blue dress and had white gloves in hair hands.

"Ugh, my head" The girl murmured. Hiccup immediately rushed to her side helping her get up.

"Oh, I-I am s-sorry I didn't mean it…" Hiccup mumbled as he helped the girl who finally looked at him in the eyes. She had the same eye color as Anna and Queen Idun.

"I-It's alright…" The girl kindly said forming a small smile.

Hiccup studied her features, it didn't take long to realize who this could be. After all, there were only three children living inside the castle, him, Anna and…

"You're Anna's sister, Elsa"

"W-wait, who are you?" Elsa stammered and made a few steps back from the strange boy. She then studied him just like he had done. He was the same boy who was playing with Anna last week and according to her father, he was her future brother-in-law.

"I-I am H-hiccup Y-Your Highness" Besides living with the royal family and Anna insisting on dropping the formalities, Hiccup felt that he needed to bow to Elsa since he didn't know her at all.

"Y-you're the one who was playing with my sister right?" Elsa asked, coldly this time and this tone made Hiccup nervous.

"Y-yeah but why do you ask? I-I thought you hate her…" He managed to say, Hiccup felt brave for a moment as he thought that Elsa was some kind of a bully to Anna just like Snotlout.

"W-what?" The girl stammered. Hiccup could see the sadness and pain in her eyes and that confused him.

"That's what she told me…"

"N-No, I-I love her I would never…" Elsa was beginning to freak out. Hiccup could swear that the room got colder.

"Then why did you called her a monster huh?" Hiccup was angry now, he knew what it was like to be seen as an outcast and he didn't want Anna to go through the same thing.

"I, I never told Anna that!" Elsa was close to tears. How could Anna think that…. Then she remembered a few weeks ago when Elsa was calling herself names, Monster Witch Mistake… And accidentally said Monster loud enough for Anna to hear it.

"Sure you didn't! Look I don't know what Anna did to you but she deserves the truth, she shouldn't be treated like that and besides everything she still cares about you…." Hiccup continued his rant hitting Elsa like a thousand knives.

"I-it's not about what she did… But what I did to her" Elsa finally confessed leaving the young Viking confused. Elsa saw the confusion in his face she realized that in order to make him understand she would have to show her powers and right now she didn't want to and things were getting worse when Elsa felt that she was losing control and she wouldn't be able to conceal them for any longer, she just knew she had to act now.

"I-I can't stay here…. I-I need to go!" That's all the words that escaped Elsa's mouth before turning her back on Hiccup and running with all her might straight to her room. Once she was inside her safe room she finally let all her feelings come out, the room froze entirely and Elsa let herself cry until she had fallen asleep.

At the same time, Hiccup was left there speechless from the girl's reaction. He really grew to dislike the princess when Anna had told him that she was shutting her out and called her a monster but now, he realized that something was definitely wrong. When Elsa asked about her sister he didn't saw hate in her eyes but concern and when he told her about what Anna thinks she believes about her Elsa's eyes were filled with pain and were close to tears. Not only that but the room was way colder when he was around her but that might just be his idea.

A few more seconds passed and Hiccup finally decided to continue his race to the dining room. When he finally arrived, it wasn't surprising to find Anna already there sitting next to her mother Queen Iduna. When the young princess saw him she smiled, Anna had saved a seat next to her. The boy sat next to her without complaining.

King Agnar was the last who entered the room, He sat at the top sit of the table. It wasn't long after he entered the room and the servants began to bring everyone's choice of breakfast. Anna and Hiccup had chocolate pancakes while the King and Queen had scrambled eggs.

"Papa? Can I and Hiccup go to the garden today?" Anna asked once she finished her plate.

"I am afraid not today sweetie. I would like to spend the day with our young guest. However, I think your mother would like to take you for a visit to the town. I heard something about chocolates…" King Agnar replied, Anna was filled with excitement, she always loved going outside and it's been a year since she and her mother went to town, ever since the gates closed no one really left the castle unless it was necessary. Hiccup, on the other hand, gulped nervously, he wasn't used to spending time with the royals well except Anna and the idea of spending the entire day with the King of Arendelle scared him.

Once everyone finished their food, the Queen and princess were the first who left the room. Hiccup was now left with the King of Arendelle alone.

"Hiccup!" King Agnar said in order to win the boy's attention which was successful of course.

"Y-Yes, sir?"

"Please, call me Agnar no need for formalities." He said he wanted to make the boy comfortable around him since he would become his son-in-law.

"O-Okay"

"Follow me, son, there's someone I would like you to meet…"

IMPORTANT NOTICE! PLEASE CHECK IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE STORY! (IT MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS)

And finally, I managed to finish the chapter sorry for the late updates but again, I had issued with word and saving my work. Anyways I would like to thank you for the reviews, follows and favorites. I get a lot of questions regarding the story. I can't pm back because most of you are guests so I will answer the questions here. They contain some spoilers for the story so if you don't want to read then I suggest you skip the next few lines! Okay now that I warned you here it goes:

For Hiccstrid fans, no there won't be any Hiccstrid in this story even though I am a fan of it myself. However, Astrid will still play an important role in the story as a friend. And yes the entire gang will make an appearance!

Yes, Anna will get a dragon, after all, she will be part of the gang now, I won't say if it is a light fury or an ice fury, I haven't decided yet anyways. And no SPOILERRRRRRS she won't lose any leg or any part of her body, Httyd will happen like it is with just minor changes to the plot( No Hiccstrid)

As for the frozen arc, Things will go differently, I will keep a few things from the movie such as the King's and Queen's demise (If you have seen frozen 2 you will know why…) Elsa will still become Queen of Arendelle at 21 but maybe with different character development. And Finally, Kristoff and Sven will make an appearance but with a different role. Ps: Of course I will include Olaf in the story

Okay I hope I covered up your questions, I am sorry for not updating regularly but lately my word bugs sometimes and when I have written a chapter or want to save a part of it, I press the save button and resets my whole work added my homework and school exams, a chapter that can normally take me only an hour ends up taking 3 days or more! Anyways I will try to fix this problem and update regularly again! Ps: How Anna trains a dragon is officially discontinued and will be rewritten with better plot development and larger chapters. I think that's enough for now! Until the next chapter, Megan is out!
