Anna squinted, trying to see through the snow. Of all the times she and her sister had fought, nothing this big had happened. And now because f her arrogance, Arendelle had no queen, a foreign prince (a.k.a. Hans her fiancé) was left in charge of the kingdom until she bought Elsa back. On top of that, she was sitting in the sleigh with Kristoff, an iceman from the kingdom whose only friend was Sven, a reindeer. Great, Anna thought as they sped along, this could not get any worse!
"You got engaged the day you met him!" Kristoff marveled. Anna rolled her eyes.
"It is true love, Kristoff!" she said in defense. Sven's hooves clicked against the ice as the animal pulled the sleigh. Kristoff pursed his lips, blowing a raspberry.
"Yeah right," he scoffed, "I'm pretty sure a girl like you could do a lot better!"
"What are you, a love expert?" she teased, making the blond man blush.
"No! I just have friends who happen to be love experts!" he retorted.
"Whatever," Anna said, "can you just drive?"
"What do you think I'm doing?!" Kristoff said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Alright, alright!" Anna said, "no need to get sarcastic. Just help me find my sister, okay?"
"Again. What is it you think I'm doing?!" Kristoff repeated, suddenly lurching forward, the sleigh halting to a stop. Anna watched as he carefully sniffed the air, eyes darting side to side. Sven himself looked a bit uneasy, hooves pounding the ice underfoot.
"What was that?" Anna asked nervously, Kristoff jumping out of the sleigh to get a closer look- into the woods.
"We gotta go!" he cried in a rush, jumping back in the sleigh. Without warning he pulled the reigns and Anna found herself being flung back against her seat, wind biting her cheeks, playing with her hair that was separated into two braids. Sneaking a quick glance backward, she heard footsteps pounding in the snow, garbled yells and moans following.
"Kristoff! Is that a wolf?!" she shouted as the sleigh veered a sharp right. The howl came again, sending a chill down her spine. She clutched the magenta shawl tighter around her, the wind having picked up speed.
"I hope not!" Kristoff yelled back, trying his best to see through the snow flurries that blew in their faces. Looking behind him, Kristoff said with determination, "I think we lost it- Ow!"
The sleigh came to a full stop, crashing into some large brown object. The sleigh itself crunched under the force, the reigns snapping, Sven sliding away from the riders.
"Are you okay, Kristoff?!" Anna asked in a panic, her words blurring together. Fingers groping, her fingers dug into soft snow, freezing the tips of her fingers. Pulling away, she found herself face to face with a slightly deformed snowman that sat in Kristoff's lap. Shrieking, she jumped back, only to hit her head against the thing the sleigh had crashed into. Looking down, Kristoff smirked.
"I definitely don't remember bringing you along," Kristoff said with a shake of his head. Feeling something fluffy against her skin, Anna turned to find herself face to face with a giant…. thing. She couldn't really discern what it was exactly through the wind and snow but she screamed again.
"And i definitely don't remember that being there," Kristoff said, his face going pale. The snowman clapped its wooden hands excitedly, a smile growing on its face.
"Oooohhh! Can we keep him?!" it said happily, eyes blinking patiently.
"It talks!" Anna cried. The snowman shrugged.
"That's weird…" Kristoff said, trailing off as he noticed the monster reach behind itself, producing a red sack, "and that's even weirder!" With an annoyed grunt, the brown fluffy monster pointed to the sack, then to Anna, then back to the sack.
"Is it trying to say something?" the snowman asked, then waved a stick arm excitedly, "Hi little buddy! I'm Olaf and I love warm hugs!" The yeti ave a look of surprise, sending a raised eyebrow Anna and Kristoff's way.
"Yeah. It talks. We get it!" Anna nodded, her voice barely a whisper. Fear flashed in her eyes as the yeti held the sack open, motioning for her to jump in.
"What is it doing?" Olaf asked with mystified wonder, the yeti rolling its eyes. Impatient, it reached out and seized Anna by the waist, it's paw- or hand, she guessed- encircling her waist completely.
"Anna!" Kristoff made a grab for her as the yeti tossed her into the red sack, clamping onto his arm and throwing him in after her. The last to go was Olaf, who sprayed snow into the fabric as he landed.
"This is cozy, huh?" Olaf asked, snuggled up to Anna. Her face was a look of disgust, being next to a talking snowman.
"Please tell me Elsa didn't create you…" she muttered, squeezing her eyes shut.
