Hello, this is my first fanfic, I know this first chapter is probably not that great, but I promise to update often. Next chapter I plan on really opening the story up, but this is really just an intro to give a small kind of background story. This story will have cursing, so yeah. P.S. why is cursing such a big deal? It's just words.
Elsa Winters was an odd girl, the kind that one would find in the back of the class or hiding in the library. She was quiet, and went unnoticed, only speaking when the teacher called on her with pity. She always kept to herself, doodling on the pages of her notebooks, keeping her hands covered as if she was afraid of them. She was always the new girl, moving around from place to place, never staying for more than a few months. She was from Wisconsin and had a sort of weird accent, but no one ever cared, because they didn't even notice her. She had a sister, Anna, the type of girl that everyone likes, she was a cheerleader, sat with all the popular students, and was favored by all of her teachers. They were just ordinary girls, at least that was what everyone thought; in reality they were the princesses of Arendelle.
"Do we have to move again?" Anna whined. She looked to Elsa with pleading eyes, her lips pouting, her whole body pleading for her to answer in her favor. Her facial expression was exactly like that of an abused puppy in a Sarah McLachlan commercial.
"Yes," Elsa shifted uncomfortably, "if we don't keep moving someone might recognize us." Elsa hated to say no to her sister, but she had to. She put a stern face on, trying to look assertive; what she imagined a parent might look like while refusing a child's plea for candy. Truth be told, Elsa was afraid that she might freeze the town. It was August, but there was a thin layer of snow on the ground and everything Elsa touched had begun to freeze again. Anna never noticed the snow, caught up in her social life, but Elsa was all too aware of it.
"But Elsa I was just starting to fit in here," Anna yelled, "I like this school!" She stormed off to her room to go sulk. Elsa looked after her wishing she could explain to her why they had to leave, but Anna knowing about her powers was how this whole problem started in the first place.
"Elsa catch me!" Anna laughed while jumping from one snowy peak to the next. Suddenly Elsa slipped on the ice she had created, striking Anna in the head.
"We'll shut the gates," the king stated confidently, "she'll stay in the castle learning to control her powers until she is old enough to attend school."
Elsa shook herself out of the memory turning to go pack her belongings, determined not let her emotions control her. Conceal, don't feel, don't let it show; she muttered while packing, remembering the words of her father so long ago. She felt a tear slip off the tip of her nose, surprised, not even realizing she had been crying. She broke. Tears fell from her eyes as she curled up on her bed beginning to sob, her tears and room crystallizing with frosty designs.
Elsa yawned, stretching, looked around her room without really noticing it. She snapped out of her daze when she realized that her entire room was coated in swirling patterns of frost and ice. She quickly scrambled to her bedroom door, locking it before Anna could wake and burst in like she always did. Elsa's gazed darted around the room, her heart pounding. "How in the hell am I going to clean this up?" she thought aloud, pacing worriedly on the icy floor of her room.
"Elsa," Anna knocked, "are you awake? The door is locked; will you please let me in?" She knocked once again just like she did when they were children and Elsa would hide in her room determined not to hurt Anna. Elsa froze, hoping that Anna would go away so she could attempt to melt the ice. She let out a breath as she heard Anna turn away from the door. Looking around her room, Elsa breathed in, holding her hands out and screwing up her face, trying to get rid of the ice. Very slowly, the ice and frost started to float off the floors and walls and stream into her hands. Finished, Elsa blinked rapidly and almost collapsed, her energy completely drained from removing the ice.
Exhausted, Elsa stumbled down the stairs and found her way into the kitchen. Anna looked up from her cereal to Elsa, scrambling up, worried at the expression on Elsa's face.
"Elsa, are you okay?" Anna cried while circling Elsa like a mother hen. "You look like death." Elsa just chuckled, amazed at Anna's capability to be angry one moment and then worried in less than a second.
"I'm fine Anna," Elsa lied, "I just didn't get much sleep." She turned to the cupboard pulling out a bagel and walked to the table absent mindlessly chewing. Anna turned back to the table plopping back down in front of her cereal. "Are you all packed and ready to catch our flight?" Elsa asked Anna as casually as possible. Elsa didn't want Anna to burst out in anger again.
"Yes," Anna replied glumly, "I'm ready to go." Elsa looked at her and immediately felt bad; she wished they didn't have to go for her sake, but there was no choice in the matter. The two finished their meager breakfasts in silence, both trying to keep their emotions hidden.
"Come on Anna," Elsa yelled to her sister from outside the cab, "get your stuff out of the car!" She shook her head in annoyance as Anna stumbled out of the car her mind still addled with sleep. She walked up to the house in front of her, lugging her large suitcase behind her. When she opened the door she couldn't help but look around with awe; this house was one of the best ones they had stayed in over the years. It had a fully stocked kitchen, a beautiful spiral staircase, and many other rooms she had yet to see. To put it plainly, it was a mansion, and that was quite unusual for the two sisters, because they usually lived in smaller houses to keep the suspicion away from them.
Elsa turned slightly as she heard Anna shut the door of the cab and start towards the front door. Suddenly she raced up the stairs, Anna right behind her.
"You will never win," Anna said with a teasing tone, "I shall get the best room first!" Elsa laughed and proceeded to run faster until she reached the top of the stairs. She turned, running to a door with blue and white shapes that looked like snowflakes. She opened the door to a huge room with a four-poster bed and an adjoining bathroom. It was perfect; she claimed it, sticking her suitcase inside as fast as possible.
"I got the best room!" The two sisters yelled at the same time. They poked their heads out in confusion, staring at one another. They both checked the other's room, realizing that their rooms were only different in color. The two sisters looked at each other and burst out laughing, realizing, that their competition had resulted in a tie.
"Whoa," Elsa said checking her phone, "Anna it's ten already and we have school in the morning, I think we should probably go to bed now." Anna looked like she was going to protest for a second, but then she pulled an evil grin. "What are you planning Anna?" Elsa asked worriedly.
"Oh nothing," she said with a smirk. "I will go to bed now without any complaints or singing or anything on one condition."
"What's your condition?" Elsa asked cringing, already knowing that she would not like her sister's answer.
"You have to let me do your makeup tomorrow!" Anna squealed, jumping up and down. Elsa opened her mouth to protest, but immediately shut it when she noticed Anna start to sing.
"Fine," Elsa sighed, "you win, just go to sleep okay?" Anna grinned, skipping off to her room, already planning on what she was going to do the next day.
Okay, well that was that I guess. Thank you for reading, I promise to update soon so yeah... (If you haven't already noticed, I'm just a little bit awkward)
