Frozen: Brooklyn's Snowflake

Chapter 10

Another few miles of walking made the trip slower without the cart now, as well as a new member added to their group. Brooklyn still couldn't get over that there was a talking snowman among them now, gazing at some tall curved rocks covered in snow and long sharp icicles. One nearly had poked his arm, making him gasp a bit before moving out of the way.

Kristoff had a question. "So, how exactly are you two planning to stop this weather?" He asked. Brooklyn himself didn't have the answer but Anna did.

"I am gonna talk to my sister," she stated smugly. Brooklyn took her hand. "We better make sure not to scare her like last time, Anna," he advised while Kristoff was confused. "That's it? My ice business is riding on you talking to your sister?" He too nearly got stabbed by an icicle on his nose but stopped himself on time, moving away. "So you two aren't at all afraid of her?"

Brooklyn shook her head. "No, she had only been reacting to others misjuding her, she isn'r scary," he said. Olaf just grinned. "Yeah. I bet she is the nicest, gentlest, warmest person ever!" The group saw him being impaled in the chest by another icicle but he didn't die. Olaf saw. "Oh, look at that; I've been impaled!" He giggled, making Brooklyn roll his eyes and pulled him out before they moved on.

After another hour they finally reached the bottom of the North Mountain. Brooklyn's beak fell open at how big it was. Kristoff looked it over. "It's too steep, I've only got one rope. Brooklyn, can't you fly?" The red one shook his head. "No, we glide mostly. And the updrafts trying to get up that high will strain my wings. But I can climb," he said. Kristoff looked impressed. "But Anna, she doesn't know how to climb mountains, right?"

"Says who?" Anna demanded. Brooklyn turned, before getting Kristoff to look too; seeing Anna trying to climb. With no talons she was toast, Brooklyn knew, ears falling.

Kristoff raised his brow. "What are you doing?" Anna pulled up more. "I'm going to see my sister!"

Brooklyn shook his head. "You're going to kill yourself!" He said in his Guardian mode. Anna ignored them, trying to find a footing, only until Olaf came from around a corner.

"Um, guys, not sure if this is going to solve the problem but I found a staircase that leads exactly where you want to go!" He revealed.

Elsa's ice, for sure, Brooklyn thought, while Anna smiled. "Thank goodness! Catch!" She threw herself off. Brooklyn went to do it but Kristoff beat him, making the gargoyle frown slightly. He was supposed to be the protector!

Anna patted his chest. "Thanks! Kind of a crazy trust exercise!" She said before following the snowman. Brooklyn wanted to speak but kept it in for now, just holding his arms while looking down, slowly keeping up behind them.

But what they saw next around the corner made Brooklyn forget his jealousy. His eyes bulged at what lay before him. It was a huge castle made of ice, with the bridge Olaf mentioned! His beak dropped again at that, amazed that Elsa actually built this! Kristoff looked ready to cry. "Now that's ice... I'm gonna cry," he sniffled.

Anna grinned. "Go ahead. I won't judge," she said. Brooklyn himself had no words while he, Anna and Olaf went up. He looked back to see Sven having trouble but Kristoff told him to stay, catching up.

Brook felt his hands along the railing, smiling at how smooth it was until they approached the main castle doors, all of sudden nervous again, shaking slightly. Anna looked nervous too, raising her hand to knock.

"Knock. Just knock," Olaf encouraged. He looked at the others. "Why isn't she knocking? You think she knows how to knock?" Brook just rolled his eyes again, putting a hand on Anna's shoulder.

"Go on, I'm here," he said. She smiled slightly, finally knocking on the door but it opened by itself, startling them. "Ok, self opening ice doors, not suspicious at all," Brooklyn said, he and Anna backing up a bit before eventually proceeding in, asking Olaf and Kristoff to wait outside.
