Just trying to get back into the swing of my writing with another one-shot, guys. This time, it's Frozen. Enjoy!
I had been known by many different names. Your majesty, Lady Elsa, Queen Elsa, Elsa of Arendelle. But most of all, I wanted to be known as Elsa, plain old Elsa. Plain, old, nothing special about me, Elsa.
I didn't want the titles, I didn't want the power, I didn't want the uncontrollable ice that my body produced. I wanted to just wear the dresses, leave the castle, live my life. I wanted freedom. Freedom not only from the job that weighed me down, but the powers that isolated me from literally everyone I knew. I could share the royal name with my sister, it was something we could bond over.
But the powers? No, they were mine, all mine…
They were fun at first. I mean, ice. The creation of ice from my bare hands with one simple thought and one mere flick of the wrist. It was a gift, something that made me special and different from everyone else.
But that's just what I was. Different.
I didn't want to be different, didn't want to be hidden, didn't want to threaten the world and my family with the uncontrollable power I never asked for. No, I didn't want to be different at all.
I just wanted to be plain old Elsa.
The once exciting gift soon became a curse, it isolated me. No one understood what it was like and nobody ever would. Just me and my thoughts. Who could I speak to? Who could I turn to when it got bad?
My parents? They were finding it tougher than I was. Their once outgoing daughter introverted by the irritation the cold powers brought me. They were going through enough without my anxiety ridden mind.
The servants? No. They were never to know of what I could do. The fear it would bring to my kingdom would be destructible on a massive scale.
And Anna?
Anna…
My sweet little Anna…
She was everything I had. My best friend, my little sister, my constant shadow and the greatest person in my life. If there's one thing I had done beyond anything else with this curse, it's what it did to her. It hurt her, it damaged her, it took her away from me.
And that killed me more than anything else.
My innocent little Anna forever taken from me. And it was my fault.
She understood the powers, she welcomed them, she never judged me and even made me warm to them at times. She was my best ally and I destroyed that with one little shot.
Straight to her heart.
And incidentally mine.
And now the only good in my life was gone, her memory wiped, my isolation confirmed. And for that I would never forgive these powers, would never use them, would never allow them to win. If not for my sake, then for hers.
She needed to be safe, and for that I needed to disappear.
At least until the day where I could be just what id always wanted to be…
Plain old Elsa…
