Andrew didn't know how he fell asleep leaning in the window sil, but he must've, because the next thing he knew, someone was knocking on the parlor door. He groggily raised his head, rubbing his eyes and stood up. "Yes?"

"It's me Anna." Came the reply. Andrew quickly rushed to the door and opened it, sure enough, the Queen's younger sister was there, worry etched on her face. She dwindled her thumbs and bit her lip as she sat down on one of the couches. "Have they found her yet?" She asked meekly.

The auburn-haired Prince sighed, shaking his head. "Yes, but she refuses to come back down and get rid of this winter. She said that she wouldn't take away the winter unappreciated …" He raked a hand through his hair and began pacing around. "What does that even mean?"

"Hmm..." The younger girl thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers. "I got it! You know how kids always play in the snow during winter, right?- that must be what she wants us to do!- including the kids."

"Umm...no offence, Anna, but I don't think that's quite right."

The red-head pouted, "Aww man!" She grumbled.

"But," Andrew stated, cutting her off. "You might be onto something."

Anna's eyes immediately lightened up. She pumped a fist in the air. "Yes!" Then she froze, glancing at Andrew, "Wait, what am I onto again?"

Andrew chuckled. "You know the fun activities you used to do with her as kids, I remember it precisely. They were-"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait." Anna cut him off, waving her hands for emphasis. "How did you know my sister before the coronation?"

A smile twitched at the corner of the Prince's lips. "We've met before."

"Oooh," Anna cooed, clasping her hands, her elbows on top of her knees and her chin on her clasped hands. "Do go on, Andy, do go on."

Andrew frowned slightly, getting the message. "No, not like as in engagement or anything close!" Lies, he knew it was all lies but he couldn't risk her knowing it. "We're just acquaintances. Nothing more." Lies. "Now back to the subject, how do we get rid of this winter?"

"I got it!; I'll go after her."

Andrew whipped around to face her, "What!?"

"Relax," She waved him off casually, "She's my sister, she would never hurt me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

"I guess I could consider it..."

And that was the one thing she regretted saying once she rode her mare through the snow, it was freezing cold. She shivered. "Why can't I ever keep my big mouth shut?" She asked herself. Shaking her head, she replied to herself. "Now is no time to say such things, Anna, you said you were going to find your sister, and I will." She said stubbornly. She thought for a moment. "Stubborn really does run in us, thanks mom!" She said, looking at the sky, imagining the blond-haired woman was there.

She saw her white mare looking at her, she had a why-are-you-talking-to-yourself? Expression. "What? Don't you ever talk to yourself?" Anna asked. The horse shook her head, then stopped. Her ears flattened against her head. "What's wrong, girl?" Anna asked quietly. Then she heard the sound of something like feet shuffling through the snow and gulped.

She turned around, her azure eyes widened and she let out an ear-peircing scream- causing her mare to rear up and make a run for it, throwing the girl off of her back and into the snow. Anna quickly got up and started running, but was soon stopped, when she saw more of the snow-like-mutated evil things, she heard about them in story books, they were called meltlings, and they were slowly advancing to her. Anna's heart was racing, what evil being could've created snow monster...s..oh, Elsa made them- which made then ten times scary-er!- and if things couldn't get any worse, she tripped on her own feet and fell at a very painful angle.

She braced herself for the worst death she could imagine, but she didn't hear it, only the un-pleasant sound of something slicing through most of their bodies. She creaked one eye open, and saw a blond man with a pickaxe, she assumed that he was an ice-harvester. Most of his face was concealed with a bandana.- which reminded Anna that the only thing she had which was fuzzy and warm was her mittens and cloak. "You okay?" He asked. Offering a hand down to her.

"Imfine." She squeaked, oh great going, Anna- she thought sarcastically- be as much of a clutz as you want!

"Good." He nodded. Then he started walking away, "You need to be more careful, a girl like you shouldn't be here anyway."

That set her mood to mad. M-A-D, mad, how dared he say she couldn't take care of herself! How dare he! She got up and brushed the snow from her skirt and sleeves, her fists cleching at her sides a moment later as she stomped up to the man. "Excuse me?"

He barely glanced at her and kept walking. "You heard me, the forests close to the north mountain are dangerous, and you're only a little girl anyway."

As if she wasn't mad enough already. She picked up her pace and caught up to him, only to know how big of a height difference there was between them. "I am no little girl, mister! I am an eighteen year old, fully grown adult!" She protested.

The taller of the two raised a very amused eyebrow, holding one hand up to her height, which didn't even reach his shoulders, " 'fully grown'- oh what a pun!"

Anna growled slightly, this guy sure knew how to get on her nerves, she was only hoping that Elsa was having better luck.

Wheras the person in question, was sitting on her ice throne, her chin on her palm in a bored manner. She sighed wistfully. Everyone thought of her as a monster, and she only wondered if Anna did too. She thought of herself as an antagonist.. Not a life-taking freak.

She saw a particular penguin slide in and waddle over to her, then Nuzzled the underside of her other hand. She petted the penguin on the head. "Where've you been, Olaf?"

"Wenk." He replied, pointing out to the frozen pond.

"I see," She nodded sadly. "Having...fun." She missed it.

She remembered having fun with her sister, but something one night changed all of it… the memory was only a blur. Speaking of memories, how on earth did she and Andrew meet before her coronation?

She closed her eyes and sighed. "Oh you guys… what happened to me?" She stared down at her hands as the temperature in the room began to drop. "What happened to my life?" It continued to drop as frost emerged from under her feet. "What's wrong with me?"

'Only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart' That's what she remembered the trolls say. She knew her heart was frozen, and it would remain that way. After all, how can you thaw a frozen heart when there was no love for you to begin with?

"Soo…" Anna started as she clumsily trigger through the thick snow, grunting every once in a while as she followed the ice guy. "Do you think that maybe you could get me to the north mountain?"

"The north-" He cut himself off with a throaty laugh- though muffled by the bandana. Anna stuck out her lower lip in a pout and frowned. "Oh that's a good one, kid.' Kid. How come he always called her a kid!? She was eighteen years a of age! A legal adult!

"It's no joke, ice guy." Anna replied sternly. "I'm serious." He stopped dead in his tracks.

"Why are you so eager to go to the north mountain? Its not like Santa Claus' there! The only one up there is the Queen who went all ice-craxy!"

"Wait… how do you know it was her? I never said it was my sister!"

"Your… sister. She,…"

"Is the Queen. And I'm the Princess."

Sorry it's too short, I have writers block and it's exam week. Sigh.
