So I went to the movies with my sister not thinking much of the movie Frozen and I came out an uber fan with this on the brain hope you enjoy, it's my first fan fic in ages

There's this place I like to go, when mother and father are out taking care of the kingdom, and when Anna is busy running around the castle talking to the walls and the servants. It's not a big place, it's not very warm either, but it's my place. It's the kind of place where rules don't matter and magic is well…it's magical (not like this curse that I have to live with).
Have you ever imagined such a place? Where boundaries are broken, hearts are touched and every time you visit your spirits soar through the ceiling and off into the sky where the heavens meet you and perfection is found. Most of all it's a place where fear is never found. Not in my heart, not in the air and definitely not on the faces of the ones I love the most.
I wish the whole word could see it, my Ice Palace. I can't even begin to describe what it's like living here. Oh! If you could see the details on ever icicle, every block of perfectly frozen water! The grand entry way that leads into a double cascading staircase that reminds me of the time father took us all on a royal picnic beyond the gates when we were so little to see a nearby waterfall in the summer.
Those were the good times, the happy times when everyone got along and you could see the genuine happiness and love on their faces. I feel as if my curse did more then just freeze my dear sisters head, I fear it froze everyone hearts as well. The trolls had said that a frozen heart is not an easy fix, in fact it's quite impossible, and I fear they were right. I seemed to have built a sold wall of ice between every one of my family members, including my parents. Life is never the roses and butterflies the villagers believe it to be, it is merely a façade created to hide what was really going on inside the walls of our home.
I long to be truly held again in my parents arms, to play with my sister and share my ice place with her like I tried to do those years ago. Anna would love it. Olaf, my trusty servant is ever at my side to help me out when help is needed. Why just today he helped me pick out a new pair of gloves to wear that would look good with my dress.
"The ones with the ruffles, or the light blue ones that sparkle on the end?" I asked holding them up with a smile. My dresser made of ice gleamed in the daylight that poured in from the windows and the effect was stunning against the walls and celling. They sent huge rainbows scattering like a million different multi colored fireflies everywhere.
"Hmmm…Depends what your doing today. Are we greeting our loyal subjects or are we having a party?"
This made me stop to think, what did I want to do today?
"Why don't we greet our subjects at the party."
"Okay then the blue ones. I like shiny things. You know snow is kind of shiny in the sun. That makes me shiny too." Olaf said staring down at his feet with wide eyes.
I laughed and slipped on the blue gloves with a smile.
"I guess It dose."
"Now we are both sparkly! Oh can we have sweets at the party! And lot's and lots of hot chocolate! Ooo! Ooo! I know we can have a hot chocolate fountain with sweets all around and the guests can go swimming in it! Then we can set up a castle made of cake and…"
"Olaf you're getting ahead of yourself! We still need to make the list and plan everything out. It all needs to be perfect. Besides a hot chocolate fountain sounds stick and messy." I giggled as I made a list of ice in my hands and began to think of people I could invite to our very extravagant party.
"Yeah, and?"
"And people get unhappy when they are all sticky and messy. Like, remember when Anna tried to sneak chocolate from the dinning hall and got it all in her hair and it melted inside of her shirt? Mother made her take a bath and the servants were there for hours trying to get it all out. That was not a very pretty sight."
Olaf just stared at me.
"Yeah and….?"
I sighed and shook my head.
"Okay, we will have a chocolate fountain." I caved.
"YAY!" Olaf cried as something else caught his attention. He stared at a stray flake as I began to write down names onto the guest list.
"Fist we will start with Lord Furriface."
Olaf smiled and turned away from the perfectly frozen snowflake that drifted about.
"His beard looks funny."
I looked over at where the dignified Mr. Furriface sat against the wall and nodded. His beard was lopsided and matted a bit, and very long for a man of his high standings.
I cupped my hand over my mouth and leaned in close to Olaf.
"That's because he suffers from a rare case of The Fuzzies." I whispered.
"No." Olaf gasped.
"Yes." I nodded solemnly. "But he is okay with it now, he wears his beard with pride, and none can grow one quite to match its….uniqueness."
I smiled over at Lord Furriface and shook my head.
"Can I have a beard?" Olaf asked putting his hands on his cheeks. He pushed the snow in his face up a bit and smiled as he tried to make a beard for himself out of the surrounding snowflakes and what was already on his face.
I giggled and smiled and turned back to the list. As Olaf busied himself once more.
"There's also Lady Wobbles and her Husband Duke Limpington and we can't forget the good sir Pineneedles and…
Thud, Thud, Thud.
The knocking at my door pulling me out of my thoughts and I tried to ignore it as I looked down at my list.
"Elsa?" Anna called from the other side.
"Hey it's Anna." Olaf said shuffling the snow around him.
"Hey Elsa wanna come play with me? I got a new doll and this fun new toy called a bicycle. It has wheels you can push with you feet and they move pretty fast!" Little by little my Ice Palace melted away. First the dresser, then the ceiling with its intricate chandelier and lastly the perfectly carve ice walls.
"Come on Elsa, can't we play just this once?"
Lastly Olaf disappeared in front of my eyes as everything evaporated back into my mind, to be locked away by my fear, by the curse that held everything back. I slowly move to the door and put a hand against it, willing myself to feel my sister on the other side. To hear her breathing and her heart beat and to play with her if only this one time…
"You know we don't even have to go fast on my bicycle."
I reached a hand for the door and realized it was ungloved a second too late. With lightning speed the cold cruel ice shot from my pale fingertips and consumed the handle, spreading like a disease on the door. I willed it to stop but it only grew worse with every breath I took in. I grabbed for my other glove and quickly covered my hand as panic welled up inside of me. What if Anna had seen?
My shoulder rested on the door and it froze the area it touched.
"Stop." I begged on the verge of tears. "Please…PLEASE STOP!"
But like all the other times before it refused my commands and took on a life of it's own, like an uncontrolled demon it fed on my weakness and only grew stronger.
"I'm sorry Elsa, I only wanted to play." Anna sighed on the other side.
I stood and shook my head.
"No it's not…"
"Anna! Leave your sister be, she needs her rest." I heard my mother call from the other side.
There was some shuffling and I could tell Anna was no longer leaning against the door.
"Bye Elsa." She said as the thick door between us muted her voice.
"Bye." I whispered.
I looked at the room around me and willed the Ice Palace to return, for the party to take place, and everything to go back to being the way it had been. I closed my eyes and pictured the marvelous staircase and Olaf standing right next to me but nothing came.
Instead when I opened my eyes again I was still in my room, empty and alone with nothing but the cold icy chill of my fingers and the fear that filled me to keep me company though the long day.
As of now it's a one shot, but if I get enough positive feedback I may add to it. Still not sure thought, I have to Establish the story a bit more in my head as well :)
