Anna pov
Elsa stood at the top of the grand spiral stair case and as Anna walked through the door, she ran down to greet her. "You're back earlier than I expected." Smiling, she glanced at Kristoff and subtly raised her eyebrows at Anna. Anna's jaw tightened as she noticed her sister's jester, but she pretended that she didn't understand.
"The snow was too cold, and Kristoff suggested we head back," Anna replied as she took off Kristoff's jacket. This time he didn't move to stop her.
Kristoff took the jacket from her and laid it on Sven's back. Sven made a face but didn't do anything about it.
Elsa looked Anna over, "Are you okay?"
Anna rolled her eyes, "Yes. I'm fine. It's just a little snow." Just as she said that, she remembered her and Kristoff's little snow fight and blushed. She brushed her hair behind her ear and smiled. Hopefully Elsa didn't notice that her face was now a nice shade of pink.
Kristoff held back a laugh and pretended he didn't just realize the same thing. Sven shook his head and snorted.
Elsa smiled trying not to let on that Anna was being far too obvious. Deciding to change the subject, "I heard a scream outside before you came in. What was that all about?"
Anna eyed her suspiciously, "Oh like you don't know."
"If I knew don't you think I wouldn't be asking?" Elsa looked at Anna confused by her assumption.
Of course she knows. Doesn't she? "There was ice outside and I slipped…"
"Ice?" Elsa looked even more confused.
"Yeah. Ice," Kristoff chimed in. "You know, the stuff you can conjure up out of thin air?"
Elsa's jaw dropped, "You think I did this?" She looked down at her hands as if wondering the same thing. Anna could see the horror growing in her eyes.
"Well, I mean… what else could it have been?" Anna asked. She was becoming as confused as her sister.
"Anna, I didn't…I-I couldn't have," Elsa crossed her arms as if cradling herself. There was no way she could have done this.
Anna put her hand on Elsa's shoulder, "It's okay. I believe you." Anna bit her lip as she watched her sister. She was so frightened. She still didn't trust herself even after she learned how to melt her snow and decided to keep the gates open. Anna hated to see her sister like this. She closed in on herself and locked the door to her emotions. And her actual door… She kept saying the cold never bothered her, but at this very moment she looked like she was freezing. She stared at the ground and didn't even acknowledge Anna's presence. Anna ran a hand down her sister's cheek and forced her to look up.
"Elsa, look at me." Their eyes met and Elsa smiled wearily. "Everything is okay."
She nodded, but didn't speak. Breathing slowly, she calmed herself. She took Anna's hand from her face and held it for a moment. "How could there be ice? I've been reading in the library since you left."
Anna shrugged, "I don't know, but I'm sure we will figure it out. I'm always here. We can figure it out together." Anna smiled in an attempt to reassure her sister. It seemed to work because Elsa smiled back.
Kristoff coughed, "Well, I guess we should get going." Woops! Anna almost forgot that Kristoff was still standing there. She turned from Elsa and looked at him apologetically. He smiled and shook his head. He understood and reassured her that there was no need to apologize.
"Well if you have to," Anna replied and reached over to pet Sven who proceeded to lick her in the face. Her nosed scrunched at the slimy feeling of his tongue.
Kristoff laughed, "It's probably for the best. It's getting late and I still haven't collected any ice yet."
Anna blushed and looked away. That was the purpose of the whole trip… she was just coming along to help and, of course, see the rugged, ice lover in action.
He shook his head, "It's okay. It's not your fault." Sven, however, thought otherwise and huffed, stomping one of his hooves on the ground. "Shhhh," Kristoff replied and patted him on the back. He turned to Anna, "I'll see you later." His boyish smile made Anna wish it was sooner rather than later, but she waved Kristoff off anyway.
"See you later," she replied.
After the doors closed behind Kristoff and Sven, Anna turned to Elsa, "The ice really wasn't yours?"
She quickly shook her head, "No."
"Hmm," Anna pursed her lips, "I wonder…"
Elsa tilted her head, "What is it?"
"Have you ever heard of 'Jack Frost'?"
A/n: Oooo! Getting a little suspenseful on ya ^^ I hope you are liking the story so far! I'll most likely have the next update up by the upcomming week. The chapters have been on the short side so that's why I've been trying to post two at a time. However, the chapters should start getting longer and, that being said, I may start doing one chapter at a time. It all depends on the length. Thank you to all the people who have been following and reviewing! I really appreciate the support. This is the first time I've written a fanfiction, so I'm glad that you like the story so far. Have a great week! And if you haven't already, please review and subscribe! I love to see what y'all have to say :)
