Elsa POV.
"But you promised!" Anna complained as she followed me down the hall.
"I know... but that was before-" I started to say before Anna cut me off.
"-Before what Elsa? What changed?" Anna asked as she speed up so she was in front of me. I looked down, avoiding eye contact.
"Nothing Anna... if you'll excuse me," I said, turning and placing my hand on the door knob. Frost appeared on the handle. I glanced at Anna, but she thankfully didn't seem to notice. I quickly opened the door, closing it before Anna could follow.
I walked over to a chest full of old winter coats and dug though it until I found what I was looking for, my gloves. I pulled them on, instantly feeling a little more in control. I walked over to my desk, taking a seat and carefully digging though some papers. I pulled out the letter that had started this all. Losing control... deciding to break my promise and close the gates... I shook my head slightly to clear my thoughts as I returned my focus to the letter.
To Queen Elsa, of Arendalle;
I hope you've enjoyed your peace while it lasted. I assure you it won't last long. I know your secret, the one your parents fought so hard to protect. If you care for your kingdom, for your sister, then you'll heed my demands and leave the kingdom. If you don't or if you tell anyone of this letter, then I assure you, Arendalle will burn, and you with it.
The letter was unsigned. To the average person, there were no obvious hints to my secret. My parents were the only ones who knew,and they told me to never speak of it to anyone. My greatest weakness was my opposite, fire. A simple burn from a hot pan could prove dangerous. This mystery person was threatening me with fire. It was a threat I couldn't ignore.
I walked over to my bedroom window, it overlooked the courtyard. I rested my hand against the glass, it felt warm though my glove. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Elsa?" Anna's muffled voice said.
"Come in," I said, standing up as I spoke. Anna came in, looking a little timid. Then she spotted my gloves. She looked confused.
"Why do you have those on again?" she asked, taking a seat on my bed.
"Oh, uh... no reason," I lied as I pulled my gloves off. I kept them in one hand though.
"So your closing the gates," Anna said bluntly.
"Anna, I don't want to discuss this," I said, turning away from her and walking back to the window. I rested my hands on the window sill, forgetting that I had taken my gloves off. Ice spread up the window panes. I stepped back quickly as Anna leapt to her feet.
"Is that ice? Elsa what's going on?" she asked, sounding worried.
"Anna, please leave," I said trying to stay calm.
"But-"
"Leave," I said a little more forcefully.
Looking a little hurt, she left, letting the door slam. I walked over to the door, considering following, but ending up sitting with my back to the door. The room cooled considerably, evidence of frost appearing on the walls and floor.
