Frozen: Isolation

A Disney's Frozen Fanfiction

A.N. Well guys I'll admit I had my doubts about Frozen I truely did. When I first saw the trailers I was like "Eh" But now that I've listened to the soundtrack about three hundred and fifty seven times, I think it's safe to say I changed my mind.

So this is yet another plot bunny type of thing that jumped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone until I started writing it, so here I am typing away eager as hell to get this started.

Surprisingly this will be another OC fic of mine O.O *Le gaspeth* But if you're one of my regular readers you already saw that coming lol. Don't lose faith in me though just because a main character is an OC. Give the story a chance, and I promise I'll do my best not to dissapoint.

Also this story is gonna be a little different from what I usually do, typically I write post-apocalyptic stuff with a lot of gritty, dark, death and what not. This one will not take place in an apocalyptic scenario and will not have as much violence at first. Don't get me wrong I will have action and intense moments in this but that's probably not gonna happen for a while. This is also my first story not taking place during modern day, Frozen happens during the 1800's and I don't know exactly when so I kind of just picked a date and am rolling with it.

Anyways here we are with the synopsis: One year after the great thaw, the kingdom of Arendelle has enjoyed a time of peace and prosperity. Queen Elsa finally became the ruler she was born to be, loved by her people and in control of her magic. However, one day the royal ice Deliverer Kristoff and Princess Anna are attacked by mysterious assassins in the mountains. To their rescue a man arrives and helps them escape, but as this transpires the curious princess discovers that Elsa isn't the only one with a gift, he posseses a mysterious power too. Only he has little control over his abilities much like the Queen when she was a child.

His past shrouded in mystery, and the fear of hurting himself and those around him has plagued his mind and caused him to wander the mountains alone in isolation for the past eleven years. But Elsa's curiosity and eagerness to meet another like herself brings the two of them together and a connection quickly forms. However the attack in the mountains, along with the Queen and this stranger's abilities are no mere coincidences, and as secrets unfold, and destinies align, the Ice Queen realizes that this is the start of something much greater then any of them could've ever imagined...

I hope you guys enjoy reading this as much as I have writing it. Since a lot of things that happen in Frozen are left to interpretation, I feel I have a lot of freedom in exploring Elsa's origin and going deep into the magic involved. We will explore many elements of the film and hopefully you guys will have fun on this ride :]

Disclaimer: I do not own Frozen or it's characters, I only own my OC's.

Okay now that this long A.N. is done, let's get to it!

May 15 1843, Kingdom of Arendelle

The warm spring time sun had just begun to peak over the horizon causing waters of a fjord to sparkle and glisten brightly. Followed by illuminating the town before it; stretching into a city, there a large bridge conected the lands built entierly from white stone. The streets at this early hour were currently empty showing off the many house holds and shops in the marketplace. A beautiful place it was, but the highlight of it all truely was the structure awaiting the sunlight at the end of the town.

Arendelle Castle, the sun was only just starting to touch it but still the magnificent place seemed to glow at first contact. It was as tall as any royal castle should be and made from the same white stone as the rest of the town was constructed from. Here resided the Queen and princess of the kingdom, Elsa and Anna, the latter of which had already arisen from slumber and at this time was carefully creeping through the many glorious halls.

The princess was a beautiful young maiden standing at 5'4, with long strawberry blonde har, braided in pigtails with a platinum blonde streak on the right side. She has a round face with rosy cheeks on her fair skin with a sprinkling of freckles. A very thin frame but her face remained a bit round with blue eyes. Currently she was dressed casually with a dark green skirt, olive green bodice, and light green blouse, with white stockings and dark green shoes.

She crept quietly through the halls heading towards a room that only she would be allowed to sneak into. Several guards she passed acknowledged her but didn't do anything to stop the girl. She did this every now and again heading towards the same place, in an attempt to do the same thing.

The princess was heading to her sister's room, the Queen's bedroom, where she would try to rudely awaken her.

When she arrived at the double doors, she took several deep breaths trying to stifle her inner giggling. Her sister was always so proper and organized, that she couldn't help but love it whenever she took her out of the comfort zone and saw the reaction on her face.

Very carefully, Anna exhaled and pushed the doors open as quietly as they would allow, the wood of the doors thankfully wasn't disagreeing with Anna on this little surprise wake up call she had planned and didn't creak or groan at all. She moved as if she was in slow motion, opening the doors only enough to squeeze her body through then closed it behind her emiting a close to inaudible click.

The Queen's chambers was almost entierly the color blue, shade's of it covered every curtain and sheet, and even the lump under the blankets of the bed was blue. Anna grinned evily upon sighting it and resumed tip toeing across the carpet over towards the bed, for a moment she froze when the body under the covers stirred slightly but otherwise remained un-moving. The princess took another deep breath as she felt her heart calm back down and after that climbed onto the cedar chest before the bed.

She stood to her full height above the sleeping queen, from this angle she could see strands of platinum blonde hair cascading around the pillows and a small pale hand laying outside the blanket. Anna lined herself up as best she could and had to bend over with one hand over her stomach and the other covering her mouth before she made her move, the laughter was bubbling up in her and if she didn't act now she wouldn't be able to hold it. So she collected herself and stood once again then right before she jumped she announced,

"Good morning Elsa!"

The Queen was awoken from her sweet slumber by a loud noise at first, she didn't capture what it was exactly all she could translate was that it was piercing. But before she opened her eyes she felt something push off the end of her bed and her still sleepy brain somehow managed to translate the event about to transpire. A weight came crashing down on Elsa's body tearing her away from her relaxed state as the realization of what was going on finally hit her.

She jumped up in her bed and let out a surprised shriek at the incident and sat up to look at her surroundings. Her cerulean eyes fell upon two blue orbs staring up at her with a giddy smile beneath them. Elsa practically collapsed her head back down onto the pillows as she realized it was only her sister, Letting out an exhasperated sigh and draping her arm over her eyes as her heart continued to panic in her chest, "Anna..." was the first word she said in her light but womanly voice, "Why?" Was the second.

Finally Anna burst out in laughter at her success, but she was still not finished disturbing her older sibling and she crawled closer to her on the bed, "The sun is up so you should be up." She exclaimed nearly face to face wth her sister.

Elsa uncovered her eyes but they still remained closed as she mentally cursed herself for not remembering to lock her door last night, "Why do I allow you access to my chambers when all you desire is to torment me." Her words came out tiredly and weak, her body clearly wanting more sleep. The princess though was sure to deprive her of that as she ranted on.

"Today's the day me and Kristoff are to travel up the mountain to deliver this week's supply of ice." She explained, "And I just wanted to remind you!" Anna spoke as an excited child bouncing on the bed slightly. Groggily the queens cerulean blues finally peaked open at her sister, who apparently was still going on about her trip, "Also, I wanted to ask you if you would like to perhaps come with us?"

The blonde blinked slowly at her bubbly sibling, she looked at her as if she was telling an un-funny joke before breathing out a deep sigh, "Anna you know if I could I would but I-" She was cut off suddenly as Anna knealt up on the bed and interlocked her fingers in a symbol of begging, then proceeded to bounce on the bed repeating the same statement over and over.

"Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please?" The movement of her rocking caused Elsa's body to hop up and down as the mattress caved in and resurfaced under the weight of the girls. Her expression, despite the slight desire to snicker or laugh at her sisters nature remained unchanging due to her still present exhaustion.

"I would love...for that to stop." She said blankly between bounces on the bed.

Anna dropped onto her elbows before Elsa once again only this time she pursed her lower lip giving off a puppy dog sad face and spoke in a tiny whisper, "Please?" The E sound in the word was dragged out a good two seconds.

Now no matter how hard Elsa tried, no matter how proper of a Queen she was, she just couldn't deny the face of her sister begging. So rolling her eyes, Elsa sat up on the bed letting her silky locks fall over her shoulders. Albeit they were a bit tangled but they still accented and framed the fair pale skin of her face, "Anna, if today is the day then you should understand that I have matters to attend to as well." She said honestly, all annoyance leaving her voice and she spoke regularly.

The younger one sat up normally too at this and decided that it was time to talk seriously, not beg. "I know that, it's just..." She rose her hands for a moment then let her shoulders fall, "Well..." She hesitated, her real reason for the request was a silly one but it was personal too.

Elsa could see this so she softened her gaze and said, "It's ok, you can tell me."

Anna blew some air out between her lips causing her hair to flutter a bit, "We just haven't had time to play in the snow like we use too." Finally she admitted, "I know that you very busy, and we still are able to spend time together, which i'm grateful for. It's just, I miss throwing snow balls around with you, building snow men like Olaf and..."

While she explained, the older sister couldn't help but feel her heart fall slightly. She had a point, the two of them were able to be actual sisters now since Elsa had control of her gift and all other conflicts had ended. But one of the staples from their childhood was playing together in the Winter snow, or the snow Elsa created from her own finger tips, yet they hadn't. Whether it was sub-conciously or not Elsa was still a little defensive about playing with her power around Anna, despite the control she had, every time her magic hurt her only sister continuously plagued her mind and she wanted to do everything she could to prevent it from happening again.

The Queen watched Anna speak as she mindlessly played with one of her braids, and finally Elsa closed the distance between the two and hugged her sister. Anna was puzzled for a breif moment but quickly retuned the embrace and listened to Elsa speak over her shoulder, "I understand Anna, I miss those times too." She rubbed the strawberry blonde's back comfortingly, "And I promise we will again sometime, but when I say I have matters to deal with I have to deal with them whether I like it or not." She pulled away from her sibling to see the dissapointed look on her face. "Don't be sad, when I have a day to myself I swear we can have all the snow we'll ever need I promise." She used her index finger to tilt the princess's chin up just a little in a 'cheer up' gesture.

Anna's dissapointment was still pretty evident but she managed smiled as well, "I have a feeling that won't come for a long time." She said feeling let down but accepting of her sister's honesty.

Elsa gave her a small smile, "Have some faith, and until then..." She said an idea hatching in her brain as she traced her own thumb over her fingers, feeling the frost forming. "Here's something to tide you over." Without warning then she flicked her fingers at Anna sending a quick flurry of frost and thin snow into her unsuspecting face.

Instantly she recoiled at the sudden burst of cold and started rubbing the remnants of it off her forehead and cheeks. Elsa started to giggle at the sight while Anna said, "Hey no fair! I can't fight back." The girl addressed since Elsa just created the snow with her power she had none of her own to throw back at her.

"Call that revenge for waking me." Elsa jokingly told her which earned a playful push from her sibling, both of them finally began laughing at the entire situation.

The pair loved each other dearly, after the incident where Elsa accidentally lost control and hurt Anna with her magic, she remained distant from her afraid of the very icy gift she commanded. Even after their parents death, the two had little contact. Thankfully despite all the faults of last year, with Hans of the Southern Isle's and the Duke of Wesleton, everything seemed to fall into the right place in the end and the siblings could be a family again. Elsa had such a good heart and wanted nothing but the best for her sister, which is why it hurt her to deny any of her request but she would fulfill her promise. And she made a mental note, that whenever she would have a day to herself, the two of them would play in the snow again.

Eventually Anna left the Queen to her morning ritual as she felt that she'd disturbed her enough. So as the strawberry blonde made her exit, Elsa stretched her arms high out while swinging her legs over the edge of her bed. Her light blue nightgown followed her as she did this, then stood from her large royal bed.

Elsa was considered by many the most beautiful Queen around, she was slender with pale skin but that didn't completely take away her rosy cheeks. Being a bit taller then her sister, she stood at 5'5 and moved elegantly even though she had no one around to be Queen like to. It practically came as second nature to her. So moving with as much grace as she always had, she sat at her vanity and, then picked up a brush to comb through her light locks.

The sensation of feeling the bristles of the brush stroking her hair and lightly pulling on her scalp felt relaxing. You would think being the Queen meant that Elsa had plenty of time to herself for rest, but being her majesty came with more responsibilities then most people could bare to handle. She typically would have to always be up early, albeit not as early as she was awoken today, and all the actions she had to perform took their respective tolls on her body and mind. She had to take watch over charity's, dissaprove or approve of marriages within royalty, including her sister's which hasn't happened just yet but she was expecting it any time now. Plus of course the trade systems between Arendelle's government and kingdom's elsewhere. Along with many others.

Today she would have to attend a meeting about this weeks goods transport. Since the kingdom of Arendelle's main export was ice, the ice master and royal Deliverer Kristoff and Anna would head out through the mountains bringing the shipment to the drop point where they could be transfered further in another caravan. The trip would take about a day or two, depending on the weather in the mountains but Elsa wasn't concerned. Kristoff was very good at his job and she trusted him with her sister's life, which was a good thing too considering the fact that they were currently courting.

Last year after the youngest prince of the Southern Isle's; Hans, betrayed Anna and broke her heart Elsa feared that she would seal her heart off from the possibility of love for a long time. But surprisingly that worry didn't last long as Kristoff came into the picture and confessed his love for Anna who reciprocated the affection. Ever since then the two have always made these trips together, and it brought a smile to the Queen's face knowing that when she couldn't spend time with Anna, she at least knew that her sister wasn't alone.

After some struggling with one particular knot in her hair, Elsa managed to comb it out as straight as it would allow, the feeling still bringing her a relaxing sensation and almost caused her eyes to drift closed.

However a knock on her chambers door snapped her out of her state. "Enter." She called out, and through the entrance came one of the royal family's servants, Gerda. Elsa asked Anna to call upon her once she left, since she would like some assistance getting ready.

Normally Elsa wouldn't need much assistance putting clothes on, but today since she was a bit sleep deprived and Anna left to go prepare herself for the trip with Kristoff, she felt that having some extra hands to help tie her dresses laces and fix her hair would be much appreciated.

"Majesty." Gerda curtsied as she entered the room.

The Queen bowed her head at the kind maid and said, "Good morning Gerda, thank you for coming at such an early hour." Elsa expressed her thanks, Gerda simply smiled and shook her head.

"It's no trouble at all your Majesty, how may I assist you?" The older woman asked while she approached the still seated blonde. Gerda in Elsa's opinion was one of the sweetest ladies that she had, and she had been with the royal family for as long as she could remember. Plus just in general she was a very good friend, and a wise woman.

So smiling Elsa stood from her vanity desk and said, "I have to attend a business council today, just more mindless goods transportation chatter. But I have to dress appropriately and, my sister had the brilliant idea of attacking me in my sleep." Elsa explained, "I'm still very tired and would very much like if you could assist me getting ready?" She requested to which her maid smiled warmly.

"Of course dear." Gerda said this time abandoning the 'Your Majesty' part of the statement. Not that either of them cared, the two had known one another for so long that the phrase was merley a formality that neither really bothered to acknowledge.

Elsa slipped out of her night gown with ease since the fabric was only tied at the front and she stepped behind her changing curtain and opened the double doors of her wardrobe. Gerda took the night gown from her and folded it in her arms but did not follow the Queen behind the curtain respecting her privacy despite the two being like family. Elsa then rifled through her clothing for a bit until she selected the appropriate wears for today.

She picked out a teal dress with a sweetheart bodice and bronze lacing, black sleeves, black stockings, black shoes, a magenta cape, and her cyan gloves. Althugh she didn't exactly need gloves anymore for the purpose of keeping her power intact, she still did like to wear them on occasion for saftey and personal reasons. So Elsa slipped the articles on as best she could on her own, then manuvered back over to sit at her vanity and motioned for Gerda's assistance.

Immediatley Gerda followed the Queen who proceeded to sift through her make up on the desk before her. The maid tied the loops in Elsa's dress while Elsa applied her cosmetics, she didn't wear too much, just a little grey-ish pink eye shadow to try and cover up the slight bags under her eyes, and lipstick matching the color of her cape. Once the lengthy process of tying her dresses laces was complete, Gerda then worked on the Queen's hair without command. Almost as if she read the young woman's mind, styling it with a French braided crown twist bun.

Now that she had put on her Queen persona, she felt that she might as well get moving on her day. First she would see both Kristoff and Anna before their departure, they had to leave early so they could make it back by tomorrow. Besides it had been a while since she had visited Kristoff's reindeer Sven, and she wondered how the carrot loving creature was doing.

So she thanked Gerda again and dismissed her, both women exiting her chambers. First things first, she would say goodbye to her sister then get going on the businesses of today.

Anna at this time had already made it out of the castle and found Kristoff's sleigh, where the ice Deliverer himself was stocking the cart in the back with the cubed blocks of ice. In the main storage compartment of the sleigh was some extra warm clothes and food for the duration of their journey, heading up the north mountains would be very cold after all. The reindeer Sven stood at the front, his mouth was moving as if he was chewing something, and Anna realized that he must've been fed only a moment ago.

"Aww, I wanted to feed him breakfast." The princess said feining sadness which caused Kristoff to turn away from his work and see her approaching.

Kristoff smiled and left the sleigh to embrace her, "Anna." He said leaning down to hug the girl. Kristoff was a very tall man at a height of 6'2, with light brown eyes and blonde hair. He was dressed in a dark gray blouse and pants, with a brown sweater, red belt, dark brown gloves and boots. His build was muscular due to his occupation, and was considered by many women of Arendelle to be very good looking. Unfortunatley for them though, he and Anna were happily courting, showing this off they shared a quick kiss before turning back to the Sven on the sleigh.

"Hey Sven." Anna greeted the reindeer happily and moved up to him, "I'm sorry I didn't get to feed you and I had to let Kristoff do it." She spoke in a baby talk voice, "Don't worry, I'll get you all those extra carrots I promised." She told him scratching behind the animals ear.

Kristoff smiled at her statement but then remembered why she left so early in the first place and decided to ask her about how her endeavor went. "So what did Elsa say?"

Anna resumed given Sven attention but also gave Kristoff a sheepish smile, "She can't come with us today."

"Why not?" Kristoff asked, he truely wasn't sure about what Elsa's response would be. He knew that she was a busy woman being Queen but experiance shows that both sisters would go to great lengths for each other.

The girl shrugged at his question, she was still dissapointed with Elsa's schedule keeping her occupied but she understood so she was trying not to let it really get to her. "She's just too busy, she could explain herself better though. Before I left her this morning she said she wanted to see us off."

"Oh, ok then." The male said blinking a few times at first surprised at how simply Anna was taking this. She was so adament about convincing her sister to come with them the night before, but he chalked this up to her learning to be a bit more accepting with her sisters duties and got back to work loading the cargo, "I hope she arrives soon then." He addressed their strict time frame he wanted to keep, leave this morning, be back by tomorrow morning.

After Anna had finished giving Sven plenty of attention she decided to simply sit in the sleigh while she waited for Kristoff to finish loading the cargo. She would like to help him in doing so but whenever she tried he would always try to be gentlemanly about it and politley decline, his soft side always surfaced when it came to his lover. It didn't take very long for him to load the last of the shipment and they were ready to go. So they pair consented to just sitting beside each other in the sleigh until Elsa appeared.

Kristoff was so thankful to have Anna in his life, for a while he didn't think he was compatible with people. Since he spent his life away from them being raised by the trolls in the Valley of Living Rock since he was eight. But this bubbly girl really changed his opinion on that, and since Anna had to deal with betrayal from her last attempt at a relationship, it seemed they both really needed a wake up call that true love can exist in places you'd never know they could be.

Meanwhile Elsa had exited her castle, under guard of course. She could never leave without some form of protection or body guards.

A horse drawn carriage was available for her but she chose to walk, the warm spring time air felt delightful on her eternally cool skin. Elsa never got cold, but her body was always at a lower temperature leaving her skin much cooler than all others. So the heat from the sun was a plesantly welcome feeling.

Throughout the town citizens had begun to populate the area, typically moving to start up their daily shifts in the marketplace or other activity's. When they sighted the Queen all seemed to freeze like she struck them with her magic but then quickly went to greet their kind ruler. She formally greeted each of her subjects with a nod of her head, or the occasional curtsey to them, she truely was loved by her kingdom.

The time it took to make it across the town to the bridge wasn't long, Arendelle was a beautiful place but it wasn't the largest of cities, so she quickly made it to her destination.

However once she rounded the last corner and saw the red hand crafted sleigh, she was greeted with the sight of her sister leaning her head onto the shoulder of her royal ice Deliverer. Right away Elsa smiled at the heart warming sight, the couple started out as a chaotic romance between two people on unfamiliar territory, but it was very lovey dovey too. And even now one year later, nothing had changed.

Proof of this surfaced when she heard Kristoff whisper, "I love you Anna."

Followed by her sister responding with, "I love you too." The young lovers then shared a sweet kiss.

Elsa's smile grew a bit more and she decided not to interrupt the tender moment, it was almost picture perfect as the couple's silhouette was complimented by the glittering fjord. Finally though after a good amount of time had passed, the two broke apart but their foreheads remained leaned against each others. This was when the Queen finally chose to make her presence known.

"I swear you two are the definition of adorable." She announced and the couple turned to see her majesty walking towards her still as graceful as ever. Her two personal guards only a short way behind her. Anna's face flushed at her sister's comment while Kristoff simply smiled at the sisters suddenly bashful demeanor. "I trust you will be off soon?" Elsa asked them.

Kristoff moved to exit the sleigh and gave the Queen a quick bow, "Yes your majesty." Just like Gerda, Elsa did not feel that a bow was required from someone as close to her family as Kristoff. But she recieved it anyway, "We'd like to leave right away so we won't lose too much light once we hit the mountains."

Elsa nodded understanding that the journey would be long, and it would also be north weather, which meant snow. "Well I won't keep you, I just wanted to see you both off." She told them as her sister climbed out after ristoff to embrace Elsa.

They wrapped their arms around each other and rocked back and forth slightly enjoying the gesture with content smiles. Anna knew she wouldn't be gone long but she would miss her sister nonetheless, so before pulling away she whispered, "Don't forget your promise."

Again the Queen smiled and whispered back so only they could hear, "All the snow your heart desires." After the hug ended Kristoff gave his goodbyes too with a kiss on the back of Elsa's hand, and that was all that needed to be done. The couple returned to the sleigh and with a final glance back at her sister, Anna waved goodbye as Sven kicked into action riding forward over the bridge heading toward the planned destination.

Elsa waved back fondly and watched them go until they were out of sight then turned away to head back to the castle, where she knew she had business to attend to.

Little did any of them know however, far across the bridge a group of cloaked figures stood up the hillside watching the bridge. One of them held a pirate's spyglass and had it pointed at the end of the crossing opposite the town, where he spotted Sven pulling the sleigh with the unknowing couple in back of it.

He lowered the spy glass, "They're leaving." His dark voice emerged from underneath the shadow of the hood.

The figure next to him turned slightly in his direction, "Are you sure it's her?" Another younger sounding male voice asked.

"We'll find out, now let's move." He closed up the spyglass and spun on his heel heading into the trees behind the men. "We'll have to move now if we want to head them off in the mountains." Two horses emerged from the forest guided by more cloaked figures also on horseback, each of these horses though were outfitted for battle. The saddles had blades, and rifles tucked into holsters all over while the men stepped up and mounted their steeds. Upon each saddle as well was an insignia, of a serrated burning blade in the colors of black and red.

But before pulling on his horses reigns and exiting with the other five figures, each of them darkly whispered out, "Fire take the ice witch..."
