A Tale of Ice and Snow-Chapter 1
Uhh I kinda realised that the prologue was a little too short so here's the first chapter! Hope you enjoy it :)
It was Anna's wedding ceremony. Anna wore a stunning white dress made of icy sequins, specially designed by her own sister, Elsa. Her brown hair was tied in an elaborate bun. On her throat hung a sapphire the size of a baby's fist. Kristoff wore a simple tuxedo with a bowtie. She walked down the aisle with grace and elegance, with an aura of beauty around her. Kristoff was smitten. They said their vows without a single mistake. Obviously they had been practicing.
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest declared. They leaned in, and engaged in a passionate French kiss, his arms wrapped around her, her fingers running through his blond hair, while her other hand gripped his shoulder firmly, as if they were going to fall. Elsa could have sworn that one of them had whispered, "I love you."
As requested by Kristoff, Elsa summoned a light draft of snowflakes all around the hall. The couple broke apart, their cheeks flushed…
Elsa woke up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at her clock blearily. 9.30 a.m. Two and a half more hours to go, she thought. The docks were about an hour away from the castle. She had better get ready now.
She wore a simple turquoise dress, tied her hair in her usual braid, hurried down to the grand entrance of the castle and got on her carriage that would take her to the docks where she would finally meet her sister in months.

Noon. The ship had arrived. The passengers alighted from the magnificent ship and headed in separate ways.
No sign of Anna or Kristoff.
Elsa tensed.
Then finally she saw Anna racing down the stairs, with Kristoff lugging behind, still sleepy. The sisters were ecstatic. They ran forward and embraced.
It had already been so long, but Elsa still could not believe that her beloved younger sister Anna, who came up with the idea of Olaf, who still did silly things from time to time, was married.
"Oh my gosh, Elsa! I missed you so much! Sorry to have kept you waiting, but Kristoff wouldn't get up!" Anna said sheepishly. Behind her, Kristoff rubbed his head ruefully.
"I missed you too. Now, come on. You've got a ball to attend later." Elsa waved her hand at Anna, sending out tiny waves of snowflakes at the couple. She walked to the carriage, Anna and Kristoff following behind.

"For the first time in forever, I'll be dancing through the night…"
That was what Anna had sung three years ago. Finally it was coming true.
The ball was held at dusk. Anna wore a gorgeous turquoise dress complete with a tiara. She looked simply stunning. The bride and groom started dancing first, followed by the rest of the guests. Elsa stood next to the throne, observing the ball. Then she heard a voice next to her.
"May I have a dance?"
Elsa jumped and looked to the side. A boy in a brown hood stood there. As he took it off, Elsa could she that he had pale hair like hers, but his was silvery instead of platinum blonde. He had deep blue eyes.
"Erm... excuse me, but who are you?" Elsa asked.
"Guess."
She stared at him for a moment, and then realization dawned on her. She stifled a gasp.
"You're Jack Frost, aren't you?"
He smiled.
"So may I have the dance?"

Anna danced with Kristoff for a while, and then got him to get some lemonade for both of them. She would be waiting for him in a secret balcony.
Anna stared out of the balcony overseeing the royal courtyard under the moon. It was dim, but the light of the moon shone over the courtyard. The view was magnificent. All was silent. Then footsteps.
"Kristoff, did you get the lemonade?" Anna asked, still looking at the view.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands on her waist.
Which were not Kristoff's.
The rough hands lifted her up and threw her off the railing. Before she could even scream, she felt herself falling. She braced for impact…
And landed into the arms of a stranger. His iron grip was firm.
"Oh my goodness! Thank you for saving-" Anna gasped, but he held a cloth to her nose. Chloroform. She struggled to stay conscious, but the world was already fading.
A/N: This is my first fanfiction so please review! Constructive criticism will be appreciated :3 Oh yeah and I'm not actually quite sure chloroform had been discovered…
