Chapter 2

Elsa

She stood in front of the window in her room and watched as the people of her soon-to-be kingdom began preparing themselves for tomorrow's coronation and the first time in years of the gates being opened.

She was nervous about her coronation.

No scratch that,she was absolutely terrified.

Her parents weren't here to guide or aid her and she couldn't be with her sister for fear that she would hurt her again.

She had no one.

She sighed and moved from the window. She looked at the huge portrait of her father's coronation,holding the family's sceptre and orb. "Conceal,don't feel,"she whispered to herself while she took off her baby blue gloves and took the sceptre and orb. She took a deep breath as she held them.

Not too long after,she looked at them and saw ice rapidly spreading on them. "Make one wrong move and everyone will know."she said then put down the sceptre and orb and put on her gloves.

I can't do it Elsa thought. I'm going to mess up. They'll find out about my powers.

Then she remembered that the coronation would only be for one day. One day then she could go back to her solitude life. Besides Anna hadn't had anyone to talk to in years because of her. I can do it for her at least.

She grabbed her comb and brushed her slightly tangled hair until it was smooth. Then she braided her hair into one braid,twisted it into a bun and tied it together with a blue ribbon before walking to her wardrobe. Opening it,she looked inside,searching,until she found the right dress. It was a long,dark teal dress with a bronze trim with a long-sleeved turtleneck blouse that had red and teal crystal shaped prints on it and a long magenta cape.

She took off her sleepwear then put on the dress and the edges of the cape around her neck then clasped them together with a clasp. Once it was securely around her neck she moved to her mirror and stared at her reflection.

She saw herself staring back at her. A young,scared and soon to be queen of her parent's kingdom. Someone who would always and forever be seen as a monster for her power. She sighed heavily. You can do it Elsa she told herself. It is just for one day then I can remain as I was before.

Alone.

Jack Frost

The early sun was slowly rising above the horizon.

A sign of a new day.

Jack looked up into the sky,the bright rays of sunlight peeking through the trees calming him like a mother holding her child. The familiar sting and numbness was slowly beginning to spear through his body. "Hey Wolf! Are there any other wolves around here?"a voice asked. Jack turned around to see Anna and Kristoff not too far behind him.

That's when he remembered that he wasn't alone. I can't let them see me transform back to a human! He had just met these two and knew nothing about them that even suggested he could trust them. He needed a way to get away from them and transform into his human form.

An idea then popped into his mind.

Turning around,he bolted back towards and ran past them. "Hey! Wolf,where are you going?"Anna yelled to him but he paid her no mind as he backtracked the way they had came. Once he was sure he was out of their sight,he stopped running and waited for the transformation to begin. It didn't take too long.

The stinging sensation spread across his entire body until he felt like he was stung by a hundred bees as a dull white light shone around him. He felt his body shrink as his hind and front legs grew into his legs and arms,his paws became hands,his pointed ears disappeared as they molded into his small and round human ears,his tail completely disappeared,his snout morphed into his face and his sharp teeth became dull.

Finally,once the transformation was done,Jack got up on his two legs and stretched his cramped body,joints cracking. He then looked in front of him to see his staff in the snow. It was made from a sort of wood that curved inward at the top,making a G shape. He bent down and grabbed the staff and felt the familiar cold of his ice powers flow through his body. He raised his hand in the air as he summoned his powers. Small,glittering snowflakes appeared above his hand,swirling round and round near his palm.

"It feels good to have this back."he said gratefully as he closed his hand and the snowflakes disappeared. When he was in his wolf form,he still had his ice powers but it was nowhere near as strong as it was when he had the staff,which was the source of his power in his human form. "Wolf! Where are you?"Anna called out.

Time to put my idea into action.

Jack threw his head back and howled. It wasn't as good as an actual wolf's howl but it was close enough. He then turned and ran back to the others and began yelling once they were in his view. "Run! Run for your lives!"he shouted waving his arms wildly. "Run? Why?"Kristoff asked him. Jack stopped beside the cart,pretending to wheeze for air for a few seconds,before he spoke.

"There's a huge pack of wolves behind us! We need to run now!"he said urgently. He saw Kristoff look behind them in fear. "Do you know the way to Arendelle?"Kristoff asked him. "Yes! But we need to go now!"Jack pressed. Kristoff nodded. "Hop in."he said. Jack nodded and got into the cart. "Wait! What about Wolf?"Anna asked. "We can't leave him!" "Anna I'm sure he'll be fine. We won't be though if those wolves catch up to us!"Kristoff replied then turned to Sven and said,"Go boy."

Sven neighed and went into a full speed gallop through the woods,avoiding hitting trees,fallen tree trunks and bushes. "Alright,from this point on you have to keep going straight until you reach the treeline of the forest. Then you turn left until you see a stone trail and that will lead you to Arendelle."Jack instructed them. Kristoff nodded while Anna kept her gaze behind them.

"Are you sure you saw a pack of wolves running towards us?"she asked him. "I'm one hundred percent sure."Jack replied. "Thanks for warning us about the incoming pack of wolves…um..."Kristoff trailed off. "Jack Frost. Though you can just call me Jack."he told him. "Well thank you Jack. I'm Kristoff and this is Anna."Kristoff introduced. Jack turned to Anna and feigned surprise and shock. "You mean princess Anna of Arendelle?"he asked.

"Yeah that's me."Anna said. Jack bowed his head to her in respect. "It is a pleasure to meet you,princess Anna."he said. "Same to you,Jack Frost. But please,just call me Anna."she insisted. "If that is what you want then sure thing Anna."he replied. "Anna,do you see any wolves behind us?"Kristoff asked. Anna looked over her shoulder for a moment before turning back around.

"No wolves. I think we're in the clear."Anna said. Kristoff nodded and lightly pulled on the reins slowing him down Sven to a steady trot. "So Jack,"Kristoff said as he turned to look back at him. "Where are you from?" Though he managed to keep his face mainly expressionless,Jack panicked on the inside. "I come from a town in a kingdom across the sea."he replied. Anna and Kristoff glanced at each other with confused looks on their face before turning back to Jack.

You're going to have to come up with a better excuse than that,Jack he told himself. "Um...do you know the name of the town?"Kristoff prompted. "Sadly no. I have been away from the town for so long that I no longer remember the name."answered Jack,dropping his head sadly.

That part of what he said was true at least. He had been away from his hometown for as long as he could remember that the name was no longer in his memory. It was simply a memory shrouded in mist within the deepest part of his memories. Where he couldn't quite grab nor see through it.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see Anna looking at him with sympathy. "Hey,it's ok. I understand what it's like to be away from something you are very attached to."Anna said softly in a tone that told Jack she did know what it was like. He nodded gratefully then looked at Kristoff. "What are you two doing in the forest with blocks of ice in your sled?"

"I'm an ice harvester therefore I go to places with ice,harvest it then bring it to Arendelle."Kristoff explained. In all of my life I have never heard of a job as odd as an ice harvester Jack thought to himself. "Sounds interesting."Jack said simply. All three of them soon fell into a comfortable silence.

Jack rested his head back on the sled and soon enough he felt exhaustion tugging at him. He then realised that since rescuing Anna and Kristoff last night that he hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. Might as well get as much sleep as I can get he thought. He closed his eyes and,not a moment sooner,sleep took over his body.

Author's note: I apologize for taking so long with this chapter. It intentionally was going to be much longer but I realised that most of what I was writing wouldn't make too much sense in the second chapter so I had to cut out A LOT and edit it. Nonetheless,I hope you enjoy this chapter and reviews are always welcomed!
