Elsa's Wish
Author's Note: Elsa's powers allow her to direct arctic winds to an extent.
Elsa jolted upright from yet another nightmare.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" She yelled. She had dreamed about all the things that haunted her: being called a monster, the isolation, and worst of all Anna's frozen body on the fjord.
She started pacing around the room, ice forming underfoot. She then decided to clear her head with some cool night air. She stepped out on to the balcony. The cold air felt great, but the horrid thoughts flooded back into her mind. Tears streaming down her face, she looked up at the North Star.
"I wish I could just be normal!"
All of the sudden, a bright flash blinded Elsa. She fell down, darkness consuming her. She passed out.
The next morning Elsa woke up freezing cold.
That's strange, the cold never bothered me.
She thought nothing of it and continued on with her morning routine. She went down to breakfast and was surprised to see Anna sitting there.
"Morning Anna."
"Hi Elsa," she said in her usual cheery voice.
Then the strangest thing happened.
Anna knew that Elsa liked to use her powers to get her food, and bacon was her favorite. Elsa went to use the wind to put bacon on her plate, but nothing happened!
"That's odd…"
She tried again. Nothing moved.
"What? Oh no! This can't be happening…"
"What's going on Elsa?"
"So you know how sometimes we both get nightmares? Well last night I got one."
"So…?"
"Then I went out onto the balcony and wished on the North Star that I was normal. I hate constantly having to check my emotions so I don't freeze Arendelle! Again!"
"But Elsa, how will you get your powers back?"
"I…I don't know Anna."
"NO ELSA! PLEASE I NEED SOMEONE TO BUILD SNOWMEN WITH!"
"We can still build snowmen, just…not enchanted ones."
Elsa started to regret ever making that wish. Anna was really sad that her sister wanted to get rid of her awesome powers. She can create an ice palace with a single step and a few waves of her hand!
"Well, if I'm going to be normal, I might as well embrace it…"
"Where was that attitude when you could make it snow on command?"
After a few moments of silence Elsa finally decided to go back to her room and left Anna at the table.
A few hours later Anna knocked on Elsa's door.
"Come in Anna!"
Anna came in the door and nearly fainted when she saw her sister.
"Anna! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Elsa. Quick question: when was the last time you looked in the mirror?"
Elsa quickly went over to the nearest mirror and saw it. Her hair was no longer platinum blond, but dark brown like their mother's was.
"Okay then. This is new."
The rest of the day went by uneventfully, with Elsa trying to adjust to being powerless. She did miss them. That night, she went on to the balcony. The cold gave her goose bumps. She looked up at the North Star. This time all the fun memories of magic came to her: skating rinks, Olaf, and most of all, building snowmen with Anna. Tears began to fall again.
"I wish I never made that stupid wish!"
There was another blinding flash, and she passed out. She woke up with Anna hovering over her.
"Elsa! You're okay! And you're blond again! Did they come back?"
Elsa opened her hand and snow flurried around them.
"I did miss having powers."
"Don't be afraid, embrace it."
As if on a cue, it started snowing.
