Elsa sat in the solitude of her bedroom, still not completely stable enough to accept the fact that her parents were truly gone. Her emotional state was causing her powers to become even stronger and her room had become an icy wasteland ever since she found out the news. How could this have happened? This means that soon I'll have to rule the kingdom, and how will I do that? These powers, she thought with disgust, these powers will strike fear into the very hearts of my people and they'll come after me… and then Anna… Her mind reeled with the possibilities, I can't let anyone know… I have to learn to control my powers before I am ever to be coronated.
She stared out her window and hoped winter would kiss the ground in Arendelle so she could escape her own mind for a few days.
Sure enough, within the week, an early chill had left Arendelle in four feet of snow, perfect for Elsa to go outside the walls of her confinement without notice. Elsa walked slowly from the castle to the secret passage of the wall, unbeknown by her guards, and slipped quickly through before trudging through the snow in delight. Once she left the domain of her kingdom, she plopped down and ran her hands through her long white-blonde hair, shaking it loose from the tight up-do she normally had.
She looked at her hands, guess a little fun couldn't hurt… I just can't let others see me.
Elsa formed small snowballs in her hands and threw them at a nearby tree. She looked at her hands again, making larger, harder snowballs.
"You might want to be careful with those, the density of that snow could really hurt someone."
Elsa jumped, dropping her clumps of ice, "Who are you? How long have you been standing there?" She glared at the man in front of her, wondering what to do with him if he had seen her powers.
He looked surprised for a moment, "Wait- you can see me?!" He smiled as Elsa nodded her head slowly, staring bewildered at the man in front of her. Elsa raised her hand, forming another snowball, this one bigger and denser than the last.
"Easy, I'm not going to hurt you. Well… I won't unless you throw that chunk of ice at me," he said, pointing to the snowball she possessed. "Anyways, my name is Jack Frost and don't worry about the whole ice situation," he too formed a snowball in his hand, "I can do that too."
Elsa immediately dropped her snowball, "But… you…" She tried the words repeatedly, but no words formed in her mouth. She sat speechless, wondering how much she could actually trust the man in front of her. However, before Elsa could figure out what to ask the icy stranger first, he interrupted her thoughts and spoke first.
"I wonder how you are able to see me… No one has ever been able to do that before…" He said, thinking out loud. He shook his head, "I have to go, but hopefully I'll see you around, uhm...?" he paused, waiting for her to introduce herself.
"I'm," She tested herself, questioning if she should tell him her name or not, but finally came to the conclusion that if he could introduce himself and show her his powers, then she should trust him. She started again, "I'm Elsa, Queen of Arendelle."
Jack nodded in her direction and pushed himself off the ground, his body seeming to be carried away with the wind.
