Elsa couldn't see anything. She tried to look around the room but everywhere she looked she was greeted by a pitch black darkness. The only thing she could hear was her heart pounding in her chest and her shallow, labored breaths. Elsa was on her knees, she was scared, frightened, but above all confused. She didn't know where she was or what she had done, all she remembered was opening the door and seeing something that awakened the monster inside of her.

Her vision and hearing was slowly coming back. Everything was a blur but she could make out a few things in the room. Elsa saw someone on the right side of the room gingerly getting out of a bed. She couldn't make out the face but it seemed she was just as confused with the situation as Elsa was. The room itself was a mess. There were dark spikes protruding from the floor that had penetrated the walls around her. She had noticed the windows around her were shattered and that a computer desk on the left side of the room was almost broken in two. Most of her vision had finally returned to her and she saw a pool of crimson growing under a set of black spikes in the center of the room. Elsa looked up at the spikes and gasped. Another body, a man, had been penetrated by the spikes and was being held up against the wall. They were all centered around the man's chest and stomach, blood had stained the spikes and dripped down onto the floor. His eyes were open, but he wasn't moving or breathing. His arms were limp, his legs dangled over the floor.

Elsa!

A voice. It sounded distant and Elsa couldn't tell where it was coming from.

Elsa! You have to get up!

The voice sounded closer now. Elsa also heard footsteps getting closer towards her. The figure knelt down to look at Elsa and she immediately recognized who it was.

"Anna?"

"Yes, Elsa it's me. Now you have to get up! We need to get out of here!"

Elsa's breathing finally settled down, her hearing was almost completely back and she could see Anna much clearly now. Her strawberry blonde hair was a mess, there was a cut on her cheek that was bleeding and her face showed the same frightened and expression that was probably on Elsa's.

"Anna, what-"

"That doesn't matter right now! We need to go!"

Anna helped Elsa up off the floor, putting a hand on her waist and leading her out the door of the room. Memories of what transpired slowly started coming back to Elsa. She remembered opening the door, seeing Anna pinned up against a wall. She remembered the monster taking over.

The monster.

"It happened again, didn't it?"

Anna hesitated before answering, "Yes Elsa, it happened again. But it's not your fault. Now come on, get in the car."

Elsa opened the passenger side door of Anna's car and stepped inside as Anna started the car and backed out of the driveway. Elsa was scared of what would happen to both of them, but mostly she was scared at what would happen to Anna. Dark ice had covered the handle of the passenger side door and it was slowly taking over the interior of Anna's car.

"Anna, you shouldn't be doing this. If you help me then you're an accomplice to murder."

"No, Elsa! I told you I'd help you figure this out and I will. I said that I would never leave your side no matter what."

"But this is different! If you help me then there's no going back! You'll never be able to live a normal life, you'll be a fugitive. I can't do that to you, Anna."

You need me, Elsa. Through thick and thin, no matter what, I will always be there for you."

The ice had now covered the entire car door. If Elsa didn't do something it would freeze the entire car soon. She needed to convince Anna to get out of the car before it was too late.

"But-"

"Elsa, stop. I know you. You are the smartest, strongest bravest girl I've ever met. I know you can learn to control it and I wanna be there when you do. You're my best friend Elsa, we're practically sisters. So you're stuck with me whether you like it or not."

Elsa suddenly felt warm, her head was finally clear and the ice was gone. Anna had said what she needed to hear and the monster had subsided for now. They drove in silence for the next few hours, which gave time for Elsa to think. She wished so badly to be normal. She didn't want this monster living inside of her. She wanted it out.

The last thing Elsa thought about before drifting off to sleep was the day all of this started. Six months ago.
