A/N: OMG I AM SO, SO SORRY! I haven't updated in weeks! Part of that was because of Christmas, my little brother's birthday, the fact that I was kinda banned from my laptop, and I kinda got lazy and forgot about all my amazing fans! I made an extra-long chapter just to make it up to you! Love you all,
mintygirl44 xx
P.S. I really appreciate reviews! Also, I TOTALLY own Frozen!
Friend: No, you don't.
Me: Fine! I don't!
Will you help me save my sister?
Please, I really need your help!
I was just trying to rescue her,
I didn't mean to harm,
But I heard that yelp...
I didn't wanna hurt her,
I couldn't help
What happened on Christmas Eve!
Will you help me save my sister?
I'm scared she won't last much longer...
Please believe!
"Wow..." Kristoff's face is a mixture of shock and bewilderment. "That was... beautiful! Elsa, your voice is lovely!"
I giggle. "Thank you. I have a habit of making up songs in a matter of minutes. It's kind of my talent. Unless you count this!" I roll my hands over and over themselves, making an ice sculpture of Kristoff.
He blushes deeply, and the sudden rush of blood is alarming, if somewhat amusing.
"My, my, Kristoff! I daresay you have a slight crush on me, do you not?" I smirk.
"WHAT?! Um... no... No!" I crack up at his tone.
"Calm down, Kristoff! I'm TEASING!"
"Oh! If that's all. What else can you do?" He takes the sculpture, and I feel my neck prickle as his warm hands brush against my cold ones.
I splay my hands and make swirling movements. My dress transforms, starting with an icy shimmer at the hem of my skirt, into a sparkling, ice-blue gown with a sweetheart neckline, long sleeves, and a long skirt with a slit running from the thigh to the ground. My slippers have changed into blue ones with a slight heel.
Kristoff gapes, and reaches out to stroke my hair.
"OK, well maybe I DO have a slight- alright, a big- crush on you. You're so pretty, and kind, and my heart's beating so fast right now just because you're near me. You have a heart of gold, Elsa, and your parents obviously can't see that, because they ran from your amazing powers."
I can't stop grinning. I lean in, and our lips brush in a soft kiss. I pull away.
"I have a crush on you, too."
Kristoff grins and presses his mouth to mine again.
"Gawd, get a room!"
I whip around in surprise. I feel the temperature drop as I clasp an ice dagger behind my back.
"Show yourself!" I command.
A wolf pup runs out of the forest and hurls itself at me. I scream, slipping backwards as I'm smothered in wolf-kisses and soft fur. I sit up, wrapping my arms around the creature.
"Anook! Down, boy!" The pup jumps off me, and hurtles behind back into the forest.
I stand up, brushing myself off, and several seconds later, a boy steps out of the shadows. He strolls towards us. I sigh, and blow a lock of my hair out of my face.
I curtsy, then announce, "Good evening. I am Princess Anna of Arrendelle, the first daughter of King Agdar and Queen Idun and heir to the throne."
The boy bows low. "I am Prince Alexander of Fjordane, son of King Roland (though he is only my step-father) and Queen Anja. It is a pleasure to meet you, Snow-Princess Elsa!"
I blush deeply. "Oh... you saw that?"
Prince Alexander smiles. "Yes. I recognise it as a good power, unlike those of that fiend who kidnapped my dear brother." His eyes harden.
"Do you mind telling me about the kidnapping?" I say softly. "It seems like a prickly subject, so you don't have to if you don't want."
"No, no, it's fine. Please, take a seat. The story is very long and convoluted." He hikes up his coat and sits down in the snow.
I sit beside him, and Kristoff sits in front. Prince Alexander clears his throat, then begins.
"My brother Leif and I were - are - very close. Despite his goody-goody nature towards our parents, he had a wicked personality when it was just us two. We'd go sliding down the grassy hills in our cricket whites, much to the washer-woman's disdain, we'd slide down them when they were snow-covered, never mind the fact that we caught terrible chills and had to stay in bed for days. We'd steal dried fruit from the larder in the palace kitchens, and stay out on the palace roof until the first rays of morning sunlight shone on the horizon."
I smile, thinking of doing similar things with Anna. I sniff, and a tear falls onto my skirt. Kristoff leans over and clasps my hand. Prince Alexander pats my back, and I wave my hand. "No, no, I'm fine. Please, carry on, Prince Alexander."
"Please, call me Alex. Anyway, one night, when Leif and I crept back into our rooms after stargazing, I sensed something was wrong. Something was watching us, and it wasn't our nursemaid or butler. No, this was someone - something - far more sinister. I told Leif, but he just shrugged. We climbed into bed, but I couldn't get warm. It was as though my whole body had been filled with ice. I'm sorry Princess Elsa, I do not mean to say you are evil.
"I tossed and turned, and sighed and groaned, eventually kicking off all my blankets and pounding my pillow. Leif sat up, inquiring what was the matter. I told him I just couldn't sleep, but I don't think I fooled him. He was in the middle of asking if it was that I thought we were being watched, when the chest against the window moved. Our washstand was kicked over, and the jug and bowl spilled their contents onto the floor. A huge, dark shadow rose. I yelped and leaped onto Leif's bed, where we huddled, arms clasped around each other tight. I quivered, and Leif watched in horror as the dark shape moved towards us.
"I was terrified. I imagine Leif was too, although he wouldn't show it, being the older brother. He just stared down the shadow, trying to hide my face in his chest. I almost screamed, though, when I heard the voice.
" 'Prince Alexander! You have deceived your parents on numerous accounts, thus disgracing the Crown. You will now be punished by becoming the slave of Vali. Do you know who he is?' boomed the shadow.
"I trembled. 'Y-yes. He is the god of revenge.' I was terrified, as you two can probably imagine. Leif immediately came to my aid.
" 'Very good. Say goodbye to your brother. You will never see him again!' The shadow morphed into the shape of a large, cloaked man, and reached out an arm. There was a tightening sensation in my throat, and I gasped for air. It felt as though my very soul was being ripped out of my being, and, in a way, perhaps it was. I clawed at my throat, gagging, and Leif yelled.
" 'No! Take me instead!'" Alex shudders at the memory. I place a palm on his back in comfort, while Anook sits on his lap and cuddles into him. "The man, although I don't suppose he was really a man, looked at Leif. 'Oh? I see how it is. The heroic brother coming to the baby's aid. How pathetic! Still, very well.' His arm dropped, and with it, I rolled off the bed and fell to the floor. I lay there, gasping in deep, shaky breaths. Leif started to choke, and I looked up.
" 'No... Leif...' I moaned, trying to prop myself up on my arm, but I collapsed back down. Leif floated upwards, and with a snap of the man's fingers, they were both gone. I don't remember too much after that, because I passed out. I just remember waking up in my own bed, with a cold, damp cloth across my forehead. Mother cried out in joy, and my stepfather let out a sigh of relief.
"I suffered after that night, screaming Leif's name in my dreams, and I grew a huge fear of the dark. Nobody believed my story about the shadowed man, and they thought I'd developed a chill after one of the stable hands saw Leif and I on the palace roof. Mother and Father assumed Leif had slipped and drowned in in the bay after a fishing boat pulled up the body of an unidentified child. But I knew better. So one night, I slipped out and became a stowaway of a boat headed for Arrendelle. I've stayed in the forest ever since, and there I found Anook, an abandoned wolf pup. We noticed a trail of ice, and that led us to you two. So there you have it. My story."
Kristoff's mouth is wide open, and he's staring at Alex in awe. I shoot an icicle at his mouth, and he splutters. Alex and I laugh.
"I think, Prince Alexander of Fjordane," I announce, "you can join our troupe. We are going on a journey to find the the trolls from the Valley of the Living Rock, because they have the power to save my sister." I stand, and raise my head. "We never give up, we never give in. We are the Sibling Saviours!"
A/N: Sorry for the really long chapter! I wanted to make up for the fact that I'm super lazy, so there you are! Another member of the Sibling Saviours, the group that started with Kristoff and Elsa! And yes, I had them kiss. Like I said in Chapter 2, they're going to be having a kiddy-crush! See ya next chapter!
mintygirl44, out!
