A/N: Thanks again for following and reviewing my story, very much appreciated. New chapter, I found the trolls quite hard to write in this chapter.


Chapter 6

When Merlin appeared back in his cave in the swirl of green smoke, he was immediately greeted by Hans. The younger man had been pacing backwards and forwards, waiting for the return of the old man. As soon as he saw Merlin, he approached him so ferociously; the man had to step back, to keep his footing.

"Did you do, what I asked?" He grabbed the collar of the ageing man.

"Yes, my lord, I can show you" This peaked Hans interest, he let go of Merlin's collar. He watched the old man clap his hands together, a bright flash of light appeared. Hans had to cover his face from the intensity of the light. As soon as the light died down, it revealed images of Anna and Elsa, he could see the little Anna and Elsa playing in the kitchen.

"Excellent work, Merlin. This is just the beginning" He grinned with glee. Hans made his way out of the dingy cage, into the cool summer breeze that plagued the atmosphere.

"When the Queen and Princess are at their weakest I will strike them" He whispered to himself, content that his plan was coming together


"Is your Reindeer called Rudolph?" Anna giggled as she and Kristoff walked towards the castles stables

"No Anna, I told you he's called Sven" Kristoff sighed as he realized it was a losing battle. No matter little or big Anna was still the same.

"Can I call him Rudolph?" She retaliated again, skipping towards the stable doors. Five year olds are tiring he thought as he made his way into the stables.

"No, he'll get annoyed" Anna pouted in defeat, submitting to the fact she couldn't call him Rudolph

Luckily when they went into the stables there was no-one in there, to question who Anna was. Kristoff and Anna made their way over to Sven, who was currently eating a carrot. Anna looked at the reindeer in excitement; she always wanted a pet reindeer!

Kristoff was about to open the door to Sven's pen, when he heard little footsteps shuffling behind him. He stopped in his tracks.

"Anna stay there" he abruptly said to the little girl

"But I wanna pat Sven" she wined a little, she couldn't wait to pet the reindeer

"You can when I've taken him out" As soon as Kristoff, brought Sven out of his pen, Anna immediately pounced on the reindeer hugging him. The reindeer just licked her face, and she let a little squeal.

Once they were saddled up and ready to go on their little adventure. Kristoff made sure Anna was secured in his arms, as he didn't want her to fall off, otherwise Elsa would turn him into a block of ice.

"Go Sven" Kristoff shouted as all three of them made their way out of the city walls. When they were in the woodlands, Sven slowed down a bit.

"Where are we going Kristoff? Can I call you Kris?" She said fondly, as she found his name quite hard to pronounce.

"No you can't, we're going to see my family" He looked down at Anna, hoping they could figure out what was wrong with her. He didn't exactly tell Elsa where they were heading, as she would worry all day and demand come with them. She after all had a whole kingdom is rule.

He was brought out of his thoughts when they approached the burrow his family lived.

Kristoff lifted himself and Anna of the back of Sven waiting for his family to reveal themselves. He wasn't sure how Anna was going to react to them; he looked down at the strawberry blonde girl, as she snuggled into him.

He looked up as the stones around them, rolled and turned into little trolls. Little Anna's headed lifted at this as she looked at awe of them.

"Wow" she shrieked a little. He was than bombarded with questions from his family.

"Who's that Kristoff?" one jumped on his back, as he surveyed the little girl in his arms

"Something you're not telling us?" One attached to his leg grinned up at him

"Have you been eating properly Kristoff?" His Mama said, surveying her son

However they all stopped when the little girl in his arms started wiggling about to be put down

"Trolls, I knew they existed! I was kissed by a troll once" she delightedly said as she starting playing with the younger trolls as soon as her feet reached the floor, Kristoff shook his head at the girl. Before he could reply to any of the trolls questions, it was then that Grandpabbie, the one he needed to see, came rolling in between the group of trolls

"My dear boy, what do I owe you this visit?" he looked up to the blonde haired man; he pointed towards the girl strawberry blonde girl playing with the other trolls.

"Grandpabbie, it's Anna she was turned into a child. We don't know what happened" his voice showing a hint of desperation. The elder troll looked towards the young girl, confirming what Kristoff said.

"Come here, my child" he lifted his hands for Anna to come over to him. She bounded over to him without a care in the world.

"Take my hand, little one" She looked up at Kristoff for reassurance. He nodded his head in encouragement. She took the elder trolls hand placing her tiny hand into the Centre of his enormous palm. For trolls they certainly had big hands, she giggles to herself.

The troll placed his other hand on her forehead, shutting his eyes. Anna looked on in curiosity not sure what was happening.

After a minute or so, the troll gradually opened his eyes to reveal sadness. At this chills ran down Kristoff's back as he expected the worse.

"This child has been struck with very powerful magic; my dear boy, one I thought was a legend amongst us" Grandpabbie turned to Kristoff, all the other trolls whispering amongst themselves.

"Well do you know anyway of turning her back Grandpabbie?" Kristoff had a bit of hope in his eyes

"This is the work of a very powerful magician, my son, the one who is known as Merlin. Ancient legends talked about a man who had to the power to make strong potions and magic at his own will. Legend has it that whoever seeks his magic is bound to him"

Kristoff was shocked to hear this; he was told of these legends as a little kid, by Grandpabbie but never thought it would be true.

"But there's a cure right!?" Anna was absolutely oblivious to what was going on, as she looked between the trolls and the sandy haired man.

"I'm sorry, Kristoff but I do not know of a cure" Grandpabbie stated as he looked sorrowful.

"Can you at least bring back her memories?" he hoped she would regain some of her memories of being a teenager.

"I'm sorry, my boy, but this magic is too powerful even for me. You and Elsa will have to protect her" Kristoff sighed at this, was Anna going to stay like this forever? He felt a shudder go down his back at the thought of this.

"Thank you Grandpabbie, I shall tell Elsa the news" Kristoff walked over to Anna

"Be careful, my son. This magic is dark" His voice going low, the other troll waved goodbye to them.

Kristoff lifted Anna of the floor, and headed back to Sven, wondering how Anna got into this situation. As he got on Sven and Anna securely locked into his broad arms. He looked to his watch as he realised, they were there longer than he thought. Sven made his way to the castle at a fast pace. He needed to share this new found information with Elsa.
