Y/N instructed a few of his guards to keep the townsfolk safe and warm inside shelter from the freezing cold, Anna left Hans in charge after a brief confrontation with him and the duke of weasel town.
Y/N and Anna then got onto horses now setting out to find Elsa.
-the Let it Go musical number plays-

In the middle of the frozen forests, You and Anna continued to ride on the horses through the snow, they had been riding for what felt like hours and hours.
"Man, Elsa sure is a stinker isn't she?.."
Asked Anna awkwardly trying to start conversation.
Y/N looked back, he could see Anna's skin was becoming pale, and her breath could be seen in the air as she inhaled and exhaled, and she was shivering a lot.
"Princess Anna, I trust that you brought Warmer clothing on our trip?"
Asked Y/N
"I-oh, Uh..."
said Anna giving You a fake smile embarrassed, which told him she didn't.
"Princess Anna, you were aware that we'd be out in the freezing cold for quite some time, yes? Why didn't you bring extra warm clothing for this trip?"
"It just slipped my mind, okay!? I was all caught up in the fact that my sister has crazy Jack Frost powers !"
Said Anna, then sighing.
"And also the fact that our reunion was so brief, and now there's a curse placed upon my kingdom. And for the first time in forever, I got to go out into the outside world..."
"You've been feeling sheltered your whole life. All of this is happening so sudden, I understand Princess."
Anna had then said
"P-please, just call me Anna."
"Well, we've been traveling for a very long time now and still no sign of Elsa, I must insist that we set up camp and start a fire."
You Said.
Anna then groaned
"Snow, it had to be snow, she
                  couldn't have had tr-tr-tropical
                  magic that covered the f-f-fjords
                  in white sand and warm --"
   She sees smoke rising up in the distance
"Fire! WHOA!"
You looked up and saw it too
   Anna goes tumbling down the hill. She lands with a crash in an icy stream at the bottom. Anna from inside the snowball
"Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold..."
   Anna shuffles up to the building, her dress frozen stiff. She
   shakes the snow off a sign and reads Wandering Oaken's Trading Post.
   Snow drops off a smaller sign. She reads it.
"Ooh! And Sauna..."
  WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST & SAUNA.
   Anna steps cautiously through the door which hits her frozen butt and knocks her into the center of the shop. She looks around. You step inside after her and feel refreshed by the warm atmosphere.
"Hoo hoo!"
Anna turns to see a bright-faced fellow sitting low behind the counter, fingers tapping tip to tip.
"Ah, hello sir, forgive if we are trespassing, but my friend and I need help."
"Big summer blow out. Half of swimming suits, clogs, and a sun balm of my own invention, yah?"
"Oh, great. For now, how about
                  boots. Winter boots...and dresses?" Asked Anna
Oaken who looked slightly disappointments then said
"That would be in our winter department."
   The winter department contains one outfit, a pick ax, and a lonely pair of boots.
"Oh. Um, I was just wondering; has another young woman, the Queen perhaps, I don't know, passed through here?"
   She brings the clothes and boots to the front "Only one crazy enough to be out in this storm is you, dear?"
Said Oaken
"I see..."
you scratched your head nervous and slightly saddened
"Well, thank you sir. I believe we've got all we need, yes?"
You turned to Anna who nodded
"So, how much will this be?"
You asked.
   The front door suddenly blows open and in walks a mass of a man covered in ice. Underneath is Kristoff.
"You and this fellow.... Hoo hoo. Big summer blow out."
Said Oaken.
Kristoff walks right up to Anna, who stares in her face
"Um...can we help you?"
You asked
"Carrots."
"Huh?"
Asked Anna
"Behind you"
He said
"Oh, right. Excuse me."
Anna moves out of Kristoff's way. He grabs a bunch of carrots, tosses them on the counter, then moves through the
   place, gathering other supplies.
"A real howler in July, yah? Where ever could it be coming from?"
Said Oaken
"North Mountain."
Anna said to herself.
   Kristoff brings his supplies to the counter. Oaken counts on
   his fingertips."
"That'll be forty."
"Forty? No, ten."
Said Kristoff
"Oh dear, that's no good. See these are from our winter stock, where supply and demand have a big problem."
"You want to talk about a supply and demand problem? I sell ice for a living."
   Kristoff motions out the window, where we see the blocks of ice on his sled, covered in snow.
"Ooh, that's a rough business to be in right now. I mean, that is really..."
He shoots her a look
"Ahem. That's unfortunate."
"Still forty. But I will throw in a
                  visit to Oaken's sauna. Hoo hoo Hi family."
   Kristoff and Anna turn to see a naked family waving through the window of the steaming sauna
"Hoo hoo!"
                  "...Ten's all I got. Help me out."
Oaken then isolated the carrots
"Ten will get you this and no more.
   Kristoff seethes. Stalemate.
"Okay, just tell me one thing; what
                  was happening on the North Mountain? Did it seem magical?"
Asked Anna
   Kristoff pulls down his scarf and gives Anna a firm answer.
"Yes! Now, back up while I deal with this crook here!"
   Oaken stands up, revealing his seven-foot stature.
"What did you call me?"
You stared and blinked at Oaken twice
"Holy shit."
   Oaken stomps out the door, carrying Kristoff with one arm.
"Okay. Okay, I'm- Ow! Whoa!"
   Oaken throws Kristoff, who face-plants in the snow.
"Bye bye."
   Oaken slams the door. Kristoff sits up. His reindeer, Sven, canters over, snorts, and nudges him expectantly.
                  "No Sven, I didn't get your carrots. Sven huffs in his face. Kristoff turns away and sees something."
He points to a dilapidated barn.
"But I did find us a place to sleep. And it's free."
Anna stands watching Oaken and all his great height as he
squeezes behind the counter and sits down low again.
"I'm sorry about this violence. I will add a quart of lutefisk, so we'll have good feelings. Just the outfit and boots, yah?"
Anna looks between Kristoff's supplies and the door.
Kristoff, now unfrozen, relaxes on a bed of hay, playing his
lute and singing to (and for) Sven.
The door opens. You and Anna enter.
"Nice duet, lads."
Kristoff sits up with a start sees who it is.
"Oh, it's just you guys. What do you want?"
"I want you to take me up the North Mountain."
"I don't take people places."
He lays back down, closes his eyes.
"Well we'll well, guess today's your lucky day."
You said sarcastically
"Yeah, Let me rephrase that..."
A sack of supplies lands in Kristoff's lap.
"Umph."
He sits up. Looks in the bag.
"Take me up the North Mountain...Please."
He eyes her. He clearly doesn't take orders. But then noticed the glare in your eyes, which they actually flowed an ominous bright green.
"Look, I know how to stop this winter."
He considers, lies back down, pulls his hat over his eyes.
"We leave at dawn.... And you forgot
the carrots for Sven."
A bag of carrots hits Kristoff in the face.
"Ugh!"
"Oops. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. I
didn't—"
Said Anna catching catching herself
"We leave now. Right now.
She steps back outside and waits, anxiously. Annoyed, Kristoff offers Sven a carrot. Sven has a bite. Then Kristoff has a bite, contemplating.

Sven races, top speed, up a narrow cliff, pulling the sled,
which skids precariously. Kristoff mans the reins. Anna sits beside him while You sit in the back seat arms crossed.
"Hang on! We like to go fast!
Said Kristoff trying to scare you two
"I like fast!"
Said Anna fearless
"That explains why you wanted to marry a guy you just met, Princess."
Anna leans back and puts her feet up on the dashboard.
"Whoa, whoa! Get your feet down."
He pushes her feet down.
"This is fresh lacquer. Seriously, were you raised in a barn?"
Kristoff spits on the dash to clean it. The spit flies back
and hits Anna in the face.
"Ew. No, I was raised in a castle."
She wipes off her face.
"Wait, your Princess?"
He asked
"Mhm."
She said confidently
"And who's—?"
Kristoff turned to you
"Oh, I'm a King from another kingdom. I came to Arandelle for the Queen's coronation day."
You said
"Right...So tell me, what made the Queen go all ice-crazy?"
"Oh well, it was all my fault. I
got engaged but then she freaked
out because I'd only just met him,
you know, that day. And she said
she wouldn't bless the marriage-"
"Wait. You got engaged to someone
you just met?"
"That's what I've been saying."
You snickered
"Yeah. Anyway, I got mad and so she
got mad and then she tried to walk
away, and I grabbed her glove--"
"Hang on. You mean to tell me you
got engaged to someone you just
met?!"
You then bursted into laughter
"Yes ! Pay attention ! But the thing
is she wore the gloves all the
time, so I just thought, maybe she
has a thing about dirt."
"Didn't your parents ever warn you
about strangers?"
Anna eyes Kristoff up and down, then slides away from him.
"Yes, they did.... But Hans is not a
stranger."
"Oh yeah? What's his last name?"
"....Of-the-Southern-Isles?"
"It's Stabington."
You said
"What's his favorite food?
"...Sandwiches?"
"Best friend's name?"
"Probably John."
"Eye color."
"Dreamy.
"Foot size...?"
"Foot size doesn't matter."
"Have you had a meal with him yet?
What if you hate the way he eats?
What if you hate the way he picks
his nose?"
"Picks his nose?"
"And eats it."
"Excuse me, sir. He's a prince."
"All men do it."
"Ew. Look it doesn't matter; it's
true love."
"Doesn't sound like true love."
"Are you some sort of love expert?"
"No. But I have friends who are."
"You have friends who are love experts.... I'm not buying it."
Sven suddenly stops, ears perked in alarm.
"Stop talking."
"No, no, no. I'd like to meet these--"
Kristoff clamps his hand over Anna's mouth.
"I mean it. SHHH."
Kristoff stands, looks into the dark woods surrounding them. You sat up looking around your surroundings, you couldn't see anything but you heard small footsteps.
Sensing something behind them, he holds up his lantern. It light reflects off...EYES. Several.
"Sven, go. Go!"
Sven takes off.
"What are they?"
"Wolves!"
