The sound of a piano playing reverberated through the castle as two servant were caught in an accident. Their daughter, Alaina had been with them and she ran for help. The prince Percy caught her asking what was wrong.

" My parents are caught under some wood." She told him as tears started down her face. They were both very young, no more than five and seven. Alaina being the younger of the two.

Both ran to the King and Queen, who were in the throne room. The two adults were listening to what their subjects had to say. " Percy, Alaina, what's wrong?" The king asked getting up and coming over to them.

" It's Alaina parents." Percy gasped as he tried to calm himself from running.

" Their trapped under some wood in garden." Alaina finished for Percy. Both children were out of breath and panting.

The King turned to his wife and had her take the children to the music room. " Come on you two." The queen ushered them to the music room. It was next to Percy's bedroom and Alaina favorite in the castle.

" Are my parents going to be ok?" Alaian asked the queen as she sat at the piano.

" We'll see what happens." The queen told her " Why don't you play us something." The queen smiled and looked at her son. He was beautiful , but his powers concerned her. " Percy, I want you to use your powers while she plays."

Percy nodded and looked at Alaina and sighed. He didn't want her to be sad and he knew that her parents most likely wouldn't survive.

" Come sit with me Percy." Alaina giggled and moved over on the bench. Per went over and sat with her, waiting for her to play. She lined her hands up with the key and began to play.

Percy smiled and let his powers react to the music. The ice and snow making pictures and patterns on the walls. Alaina watched and smiled at Percy. The music stopped when the King came into the room.

He looked at his wife and she nodded to him. He closed his eyes and sighed, thankful that Alaina hadn't reacted badly. " Alaina, I'm sorry. Your parents didn't make it."

Alaina's head fell and her hands became fist on her knees. Tears poured from her eyes as she began to cry. Percy wrapped his arms around her as she cried.

" Does she have to go?" He asked looking at his parents.

" No Percy, she is going to stay here with us." The King smiled down at his son. He hoped that the two of them would fall for each other as they got older. It would give Percy a Queen that he wouldn't have to hide from.

One year later

The night sky was full of colorful lights waking Alaina from her dream filled sleep. She looked out the window and smiled before running into Percy's room. She peeked over his bed only to find him asleep. " Percy." She whispered. He didn't stir so she climbed onto the bed. " Percy wake up."

" Alaina go back to bed." Percy mumbled without rolling over.

Alaina frowned before she plopped on top of Percy " I just can't. The skies awake, so I'm awake. So we have to play." She begged

Percy sighed and used his arm to push her off of him " Go play by yourself."

Alaina sat on the floor and pouted before she smiled and climbed back onto Percy. She opened one of his eyes with her figure and smiled at him. " Do you wanna build a snowman?"

Percy open his eyes and smiled at Alaina before they raced down to the ball room. Percy made a ball of snow in his hand and let it loose. This caused Alaina to laugh and clap her hands. " This is awesome."

They began to play and skate around the ballroom. At one point , Alaina began to jump from snow pile to snow pile. She was moving too fast for Percy to keep up and his magic hit her in the head. She turned in the air and fell into a smaller pile of snow.

Percy ran over to her " Alaina" he called as he kneeled next to her. He rolled over so she was laying in his arms. " Alaina" A white strip appeared in her long red hair. " Mama, Papa." He called for his parents scared out of his mind. His fear sent his magic out of control as ice cover the whole ballroom.

The king and queen beat against the door once before it came open. " Percy, this is getting out of hand." The king told his son.

" It was an accident." Percy told his parents as they came over.

His mother and father took Alaina from him and looked at each other. " She's ice cold." The queen whisper.

" I know where we have to go." The king told them and ran to the library. He came back with a map and they were soon off on horseback.

Percy rode with his father looking over at his mother and Alaina. His magic leaving a trail of ice in their wake. They came upon a clearing and got off their horses. Stepping within Percy noticed strange stones and small rock raises in the bed rock.

" Please, help." The king begged holding Percy close. His mother held Alaina as his father looked around at the strange rocks. " My Daughter-"

The round rocks moved toward them and unfolded into small troll. " The king" A few of them gasped. One of them stood as it came rolling through the crowd.

" Born with or cursed?" He asked looking to the king and then Percy.

" Born" The king answered as the troll took a look at Alaina.

" She isn't your true daughter. Why would you do this for a servant girl?" It asked looking at Percy's parents.

" She was the only one who didn't scream because of my magic." Percy answered for them. "Please help, she's the only thing that matters to me."

The troll smiled at Percy before turning back to Alaina. " Your lucky it was only her head. The head can be persuaded to change the heart in another matter. I'm going to leave the fun but take the magic." He told Percy. " It isn't likely that she will have a problem with it even now, but it is your choice whether you show her again."

Percy watch as the creature changed Alaina's memories. His head fell at the thought of hurting her again. He shook his. " Maybe later, but not right now." He muttered.

" You must learn to control it. With this power comes wonder but also great fear." The troll patted Percy on the shoulder.

" He'll learn. We'll limit his interaction with people and cut down on staff at the castle. Alaina will be one of the few allowed to stay." The king sighed " She has become a daughter to my wife and I of sorts."

The king and queen rode back to the castle with Alaina and Percy. His door was always locked after that. They didn't play anymore and Alaina didn't know why. Every so often she would knock on his door and ask. " Do you wanna build a snowman?" only for him to push her away.
