ICE TRAIL

CHAPTER 1: THE BLOODY PROBLEM CHILDREN

Elsa Arendelle found herself sitting on a chair in the counseling office smelling like spaghetti and dirtied with pancakes with Mr. Bunnymund. She pondered on what she had done to be here as she looked around the garden-like office which was known as the "Warren". Nobody actually knows why it's called the "warren" but the office sure was filled with plants and potted flowers…and paints.

She sat slumped on her chair as she thought about it. Mr. Bunnymund eyed her with narrowed eyes as he rested his chin on his knuckles and his elbows on his desk. The grumpy man was totally pissed and grumpier than ever on what chaos she- they had once again cause.

She sometimes wonders how he had become the school counselor. It actually surprised her since he didn't show any profession in it at all. Ms. Tooth, the school nurse was a much better counselor. No offense, but she wouldn't dare say it loud.

The creaking of the office's door was heard signaling the arrival of the one and only. To both Elsa's delight and horror, a white head with red splotches and pasta was seen walking in and taking a seat on another chair beside her. He too looked like he dived into a mountain of food.

"Well, look who's here. What took you so long you ignorant bastard." she said without looking to just mock the one beside her.

"OH IM SORRY MY QUEEN, I didn't mean to test your patience but some people here has reasons. I hope you understand that," she heard the other say. Although she wasn't looking, she could still guess that he was rolling his eyes.

"-on second thought, I don't think your icy heart would appreciate!" this one was heard with a much louder voice which caused a nerve to pop on her head, although she's much smarter than let her temper control her.

"Ignorant, winter sprite." she spat with venom in her voice, this time, looking at the one she hated the most… in the universe.

"Heartless, Ice Queen." exchanged the other. They were now face to face with narrowed eyes boring into the other's soul in an attempt to burn it. A cold dark and heavy aura was surrounding the pair like a blanket and Bunny could only grimace at them.

"Annoying imp."

"Cold hearted psycho."

"Trouble-maker."

"Bossy woman."

"Prankster."

"Drama Queen."

"YOU MAKE A MESS EVERYWHERE YOU GO."

"YOU HURT EVERYONE AROUND YOU."

Their voices were getting louder than it should be and things were about to go out of control. As interesting as this is becoming, Bunny has to stop it before they start throwing things at each other, he wouldn't want his office in havoc just like the havoc the cafeteria had become today.

"ENOUGH!" the grumpy Aussie shouted with a deep voice silencing the pair of boiling rage in front of him.

They immediately sat down on their respective chairs and never looked at each other again. The room fell silent as the two just stared at Bunnymund with flat and expressionless looks. They were so silent that you could actually hear crickets squeaking in the background.

Bunnymund shifted on his own chair and started talking once again, breaking the awkward silence.

"Now, I'm pretty aware that you both know why you are here for the 15nth time this year." it wasn't actually the right number of all the times they've encountered in his office. It was the number for this year and he wouldn't even dare say the numbers of the past year.

"You've been counting?" asked a deep manly voice.

"Yes Overland, I have been countin'. Now don't change the topic." Bunnymund felt the urge to roll his eyes, but he wouldn't show such attitude in front of this two. "-you blokes explain yourselves, startin' with ya shiela." he nodded his head in the direction of Elsa.

"I'm sorry, my name is not shiela." She immediately countered trying to escape the situation.

"You do know that I know that ya know it's just my native accent and language," countered Bunnymund. "-and ya know that I am referring to ya."

Jack's snickers could be heard beside her. Elsa stared at the man before her ignoring the certain boy beside her and started talking from the beginning.

"Fine, fine, I'm going to talk, but for all you know, he started It." she pointed an accusing finger at Jack which earned her a cry of "Hey" from the certain creature.

"I don't care who started it, I'll finish it."

And so, she told Mr. Bunnymund of how her day became ruined. She told him of the important details.

The school bell rang as its sound echoed and bounced through the walls of the school, signaling the start of lunch.

Students of various ages filled out of the classrooms to escape the "hell" they were experiencing inside those square-shaped concrete one of them being a teenager with platinum blond hair. She adjusted the strap of her bag as she stepped out of the classroom.

She walked pass the other students like a queen, every bit of posture and movement screamed "perfect". Elsa Arendelle, better known as the "Ice queen" walked gracefully as if she was royalty, heading to the cafeteria to eat her lunch in her favorite corner of the cafeteria which must be starting to get filled with students.

She heard various whispers which she had no doubt been about her. She was known as the "The Ice Queen" for her cold attitude of being distant to anyone and everyone. Freshmen would all break eye contact from her cold orbs whenever she stares at them deeply as if looking at her eyes would freeze them solid in the inside-out. Every question answered in just one sentence, every business finished in just one go. She does everything quick and done thus the title "Ice Queen", cold hearted and anti-social.

Various voices saying "Don't look at her, you'll freeze" and "there she is" was heard left and right as she took careful steps. Some dared to "wolf whistle" as she passed by them, but ignoring them has already become a daily routine for her. This is what happens when nothing interesting in going on in your life, you get used to the same things that happen every day that you have no problem dealing with them at all.

Students cleared out to make way for her to step in, knowing full that if you mess with this woman you're going to get it. Elsa was the school's favorite, she kills the president, and everyone would still like her. She has top notch grades in school in every subject, responsible, a beauty, and the perfect daughter anyone would want to have. But deep inside, to her, these achievements were nothing, and so she continues to strive for more perfection and work hard.

She walked through the corridor as she adjusted the books which she held in her hand and the shoulder bag hanging over her shoulder. She made sure to pass by the bulletin board containing all of the school's trending topics and issues including special school programs and events.

You could say that this was also one of her daily routine… in school, since she didn't have many friends to kill time with… so you could say she was a loner, but she didn't feel a bit lonely at all.

She heaved a sigh at all the stupid posters posted on the board, "Missing posters, safety measures posters, club invites-"and so on. The same boring posts. The only reason that she keeps on checking this thing is because she doesn't have anything to do at all. Everyone posts their club invites, and oncoming events –which she doesn't give a crap- on this board. And she's starting to get bored with all the same posters, same issues, same etc.

But one thing actually caught her attention as she scanned the bulletin board. Today, something interesting had actually appeared.

Burgess Figure Skating Contest!

Available for the old and young! A contest everyone and anyone can attend at the Burgess Coliseum at 1:00 PM on November 15, 2015.

Elsa stared at the paper pinned on the wall. The big amount of money written to be reward was telling her that this was no ordinary competition. In fact, it was an international sport contest.

She would have joined if only there was no problem. This contest required 'pairs' and she didn't have a partner. It was such a waste, really. The reward could have been enough for collage and it could have made her family's name known…once again.

'You'll be great out there Elsa."

'You'll make our name famous!'

'Imagine them clapping their hands for you.'

'Whatever reason you have to win, just be yourself. The ice will be your home.'

She smiled at the memory, but immediately pushed it back in the confined drawers of her mind. Locked.

"Well, so much for collage." and fulfilling mom and dad's dream. She took her eyes away from the wall and continued on her way to the cafeteria.

She imagined of how her day would continue. She had been having such a peaceful day that it surprised her since it was rare for her to be blessed with such fine day. There were no bad comments except for the usual, no encounters with jocks, no detentions or counseling from Mr. Bunnymund, and most of all, no Jackson Overland.

But all of that was immediately thrown outside the window merely a second after when cold water was dumped on her as she opened the entrance door to the cafeteria. It was later then followed by a thud and a rolling bucket.

Cold water

Cold water seeped through her clothes making them stick to her like a second skin. She was shaking… violently, but not from the cold but from the rage of anger boiling inside her.

The cafeteria was blessed with silence as she felt millions of eyes rest on her quivering form.

Her ice blue eyes were clouded with rage as she looked and searched the room. No one dared to move, no one dared to help her and no one dared to speak.

Shuffling could be heard near the back and all eyes immediately turned to a white haired boy trying to escape through the back door. Everyone once again stilled.

Elsa had found what she was looking for.

She had found the culprit of all her misfortune.

"JACKSON OVERLAND! YOU ARE D-E-A-D!" her loud voice was the cue. Everyone immediately shuffled out of the cafeteria to escape the mess that they knew was about to come. To avoid being involved in it… just a shout from Elsa and everyone starts running as if their life depended on it.

And so, the war began.

She threw a tray of food from a nearby table at him. He dodged it merely an inch.

"Hey! What was that for!?" he semi-shouted as he ducked behind a counter.

"What do you mean what was that for? You know well of what you did." she shouted back and threw another tray of food at his direction.

This time, he wasn't so lucky; he got hit square in the chest, smearing his hoodie with spaghetti. That was his favorite hoodie.

He was now so furious that he also started to throw food-balls at her. Clumping pieces of food together and making it into a ball then throwing it with accuracy.

She threw to him apples, pancakes and other things she could find. They were blinded by their rage that they didn't even think of what they are doing. They didn't stop. That was until they heard a very familiar voice of someone who stood out as a father figure to both of them. They were so dead that they just dug their own graves.

"Oy! Stop it ya bloody problem children!"

"So that was it?" asked a very pissed Bunnymund. "-A prank gone wrong?"

"I have a feeling he did that on purpose." comment Elsa.

"Believe it or not, that prank was intended for Bunnymund. It just happened that you were the last one who came in the cafeteria." protested Jack.

"That prank was for me?"

"Well- yeah, but she just suddenly came in and ruined it! Her of all the people in the world!" exaggerated Jack. "Do you even know how hard it is to get cold water only to see that you pranked the wrong person?"

"That is just plain stupid." answered Elsa.

Bunnymund just listened at the two as they exchanged smart ass remarks. He promised to himself that the names of these two would be written on his gravestone as the causes of his death… if ever he dies because of them.

"That still wouldn't save you two from detention, tomorrow, after class. For now, go home and clean yourselves, ya smell like rotten fish." Bunnymund ordered firm and proud.

And they both gladly picked up their bags and left for home without another word.
