CHAPTER TWO

Elsa's P.O.V.

I slept a mere two hours. Anna had woken up twice that night, sharing her new worries about her wedding and what might happen if she forgot the vows or invited too many guests. I told her that she was doing nothing wrong and was just being paranoid. She didn't buy it.

"But what if I get there late? And what if Kristoff gets there late? What if nobody shows up? Oh god, what if my wedding is a total flunk?"

"Anna it's gonna be ok. Trust me your wedding is going to be fine. Now go back to sleep. The sun should be rising right now, oh nevermind." I looked at the clock in my room and realized that we were going to be told to get ready in an hour. "Too late for sleep now."

"But seriously Elsa, what if-"

I put a finger to her lips. "Anna you are going to be okay. Now go get ready before they call for your arrival."

She nodded and hopped off my bed and headed to her bedroom. When she closed the door, I flopped back onto my bed. Why couldn't little sisters be a little less annoying?

A couple hours later, I was dressed in a blue dress and shawl. I had given Arrendale cold weather last night to prepare for Anna's winter wedding that she had always dreamed of having although it was the beginning of summer.

I had stood through most of the opening ceremonies and it was around noon when Anna began preparing for her final ceremony. I got a glimspe of Kristoff in a suit before I pushed my way into Anna's bedroom to help her with her hair and makeup. When I came inside, however, I noticed that there were two other girls already helping her. Anna saw me in the reflection and turned in her chair to face me.

"Umm Anna, we agreed I would be the one helping you prepare for wedding," I said gesturing toward the two others girls. The one on her left was a blonde with freakishly long hair. The one on her right had very curly red hair.

"Oh, well I thought we could use the extra help. So I invited a few close friends of mine. Actually, this one," she pointed to the blonde," is our long lost cousin Rapunzel."

"Hello. You can call me Punzie by the way." She held her hand out for me to shake, and I reluctanctly shook it.

"And this is my friend Merida. She has traveled all the way from Ireland! Can you believe that?"

"Hi." She also offered her hand in a handshake.

"Now, sorry to break the intros, but I need to have my hair braided pretty soon."

"Here, I'll help with that. Hold still Anna." I reached out and began braiding her hair while Punzie and Merida did Anna's makeup. Rapunzel was the first to speak.

"So your the Elsa that Anna is always talking about. I always wondered who my other cousin would be like."

"I actually didn't know I had a cousin. My parents never told me a lot about our family."

"Our parents, and they were pretty secretive. Did you know that they kept Elsa locked in a room just because she had ice po-"

"Yes,I was indeed locked in a room. Our parents were very paranoid." I gave Punzie a forced smile and she looked at me oddly before shaking her head of suspicions. Anna seemed confused why I wouldn't tell them about my powers. I mean, I just met them! Merida gave Anna a blast of perfume and spoke through the silence.

"Well I personally think that you should join our group."

"What group?"

"The Big Five. Well I guess we would have to change to the Big Six."

Big Five? Merida saw my confused look and kept explaining.

"The Big Five is what Punzie, Hiccup, Jack, Anna, and I call ourselves because we all have some sort of cool skill or power. Punzie," she pointed to Rapunzel," has magical hair that glows when she sings."

When I looked over at her she began to sing a tune that immedietly began to glow a soft shade from her roots and shot color through the rest of her strands.

"We invited Anna because of her bravery and her badass climbing skills."

Anna gave me a smirk.

"I have rather decent archery skills that I must say are very useful."

"Merida, your forgetting our two male friends here." Merida blushed when she heard "male friends".

"So Hiccup comes from Berk, a place of dragons. His skills are set in stone because he knows how to control all dragons. Jack is a guardian. He was essentially not part of the group until Hiccup begged for his imaginary friend to be on the team."

"He is not imaginary Merida! I saw him once when he decided to show himself." She turned toward me. "He's a guardian so unless you believe in him, you can't see him. Only sometimes does he want to show himself."

"Or maybe he is just a hallucination. I mean seriously, he carries a stupid cane everywhere."

"Shut up Merida!" Punzie threw a pillow from Anna's bed.

"Guys, can we talk later? The wedding is getting really close." Anna pointed to the clock.

"Anna's right. Let's go get ready.'

We all stood and went to get our bridesmaid dresses from a nearby rack in Anna's bedroom and each took turns changing in the restroom and each time oooing and aahhing once one of us walked out. It didn't take long to get to the church that was just outside the castle. We entered through the back entrance and went inside a dark hallway before walking into a bright room with old chairs stacked in piles from non-use and a wall that was just a giant mirror. We made oue final preparations before entering another room that had the large doors that would open into the church itself. I walked up to Anna who was dressed in a beautiful white gown with her hair pulled into a braid and spun intoa bun. Her skin looked flawless, and overall she looked amazing.

"Hey, your going to be ok." Anna looked at me with much uncertainty.

"What if Kristoff just bailed. Like Hans. He could do that right?" I put my hands on her shoulders.

"No Anna he won't do that. Kristoff loves you. He is not like Hans at all and he is not going to leave you. He is going to be standing on that alter waiting to become your husband. Okay?"

"Ok."

We arranged ourselves in the proper order until we began to hear the familiar music. The doors opened and the first of the assembly walked down the aisle. Then after the the neighboring kings and queens, Punzie then Merida took their first steps down the aisle. Then me. Clapping followed my entrance as I stepped onto the velvet.

Jack's P.O.V.

I waited near the back of the church. While Hiccup and I were allowed to deliver the wedding dress to the castle, we couldn't deliver it to the Princess herself. The royal families and alter servers and priests all filed down the aisle. When the bridesmaids came down, I noticed that they were Punzie and Merida.

"How did they get here?" I whispered to Hiccup.

"I don't know. They said they had family business. I guess we have a lot to be catching up on." I laughed a little at his joke. The girls always seemed to be keeping secrets from us. As the girls moved down the aisle, there was another bridesmaid that entered through the doors. When she passed through the doors, I saw her face. She was beautiful. Her dress was the same dark purple as the other girls, but on her it seemed to glow. Her hair was a color of white that I didn't know existed. And her face-it was just flawless.

She began to walk down the aisle like the other bridesmaids, but in a perfect manor. She looked like an angel. I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"I bet that is the sister. She sure has you swooning."

I shoved himso he would bump into an older lady. She gave Hiccup a dirty look. I laughed under my breath. However, my eyes were still fixed on the princess's sister that had already finished her walk. Then the music lowered as the bride entered.

Elsa's P.O.V

Anna looked beautful when she walked in. Her gown shimmered in the sunlight and cast its own shadows when she walked down the aisle. The onlookers looked pleased as they saw Arrendale's newest prince take the hand of my little sister.

The ceremony proceeded as the newly wed couple exchanged rings and took their vows. However, it wasn't until the final kiss when I looked over and felt someone staring at me. Not at the couple as I was at least fifty feet away form the center.

He had white hair. Blue eyes that even I could see from the other side of the church. He was underdressed in a blue sweatshirt and simple pants. It seemed suspicious, however, having a tall and oddly dressed man standing in the back. The people around him seemed to pay no attention to him other than what seemed like his friend, a brunette that was otherwise suitably dresssed for the occassion. Why wasn't he?

He kept on staring at me and at that point I realized his staring wans't creepy at all really. Actually quite charming. I tuned away as I felt myself blushing. Surely he wouldn't be looking at me. After all, a man that handsome could never be staring at me.

And in my distraction, I lost both their last vows and the kiss. I felt like I betrayed Anna by getting such dirty thoughts while she proclaimed her promises to the love of her life.

While we disassembled from our positions, I felt the man's stare being more and more targeted toward me as I exited through the back of the church. While Anna and Kristoff waved goodbye, I felt like maybe I could survive the next week on my own. For the first time in forever, I didn't feel afraid of being alone anymore.
