When I was a little girl, I had an imaginary friend named Jack Frost. I first found out about him before I realized my powers to control snow and ice. While I was still normal, he would merely watch me play and take care of my little sister, Anna. Now although we were different, I still talked to him at night while Anna and our parents slept. He showed me what he could do and even took me flying once.
When I realized my powers, I could barely control them, and it was at night while me and Jack were playing. I shoved him slightly while laughing at a joke he told me and I froze part of his jacket. I looked down at my hands and I cautiously waved one of them upward. As I did that, a column of snow appeared. I smiled and turned to Jack, "I have magic. I have magic, Jack!"
He beamed at me, "I see that. Do you need help with it?" He asked, lending me a hand. At that moment, as I reached for his hand, ice had come from my palm and froze his arm.
I instinctively held my hands to my chest, not wanting to hurt him. My child mind was spinning and I feared for my life that I might hurt him more if I let them go. He seemed amused by my fear and laughed as the ice that covered his arm up to his shoulder slowly disappeared. I then remembered that he could control the forces of winter.
I laughed with him, "I guess I do need help, Jack." He kneeled down to look me in the eye.
"I will help you, Elsa. But you have to promise me something."
I tilted my head to the side, "What would that be?" He smiled lightly.
"Never forget me, and let me always watch over you." Jack replied.
I never wanted him to leave, so I nodded my head firmly, "I am filled with a warmth when I am with you, so I never want you to leave." It came out like I was an adult, and he smiled at this.
"I am glad to hear that, Elsa." He looked over at the horizon, "The sun will rise soon, so just as advice to get you through tomorrow without anyone knowing yet, embrace your power, do not let it get to you. Feel free, but don't use it. Okay?" He was serious, and I held my resolve and nodded firmly.
The next day I went through my normal routines and did what I was told, almost forgetting about last night. When I went to bed, I waited for Anna to sleep and slowly left the room. When I got to the foyer, there was a maid wandering about who noticed me.
"Princess?" I stood frozen in place. What would I do?
I regained my composure and turned to the maid, "I have business in the garden with another maid, please do not hold me up." I said with an authority and gain from watching and listening to my father.
What I said seemed to be enough for the maid that passed by and she didn't dwell on it much and went up the stairs. I grabbed my coat and left the palace as I usually did at this time of night.
Jack was waiting for me on a stone rail, tightly gripping his staff. I looked at him back for a moment. When I came up beside him and gazed up at him, I admired his prince-like features. If you asked me, he was a prince, "Admiring the moon again?" I asked. He may look like a prince, but I knew his origins were strange, and that no one can see him, but I plan on changing that here in Arendale.
"Yeah, we were just talking." He tended to do that. I looked out at the moon and could almost hear what it had to say. I could feel Jack tense up beside me, "Why would that happen?" He muttered. I looked over at him and his face was tight and pale.
"What's wrong? What would happen?" I got worried. Was something going to go wrong here in Arendale?
Jack shook his head, "It's nothing you have to worry about, come on." He stood and held out his hand as he jumped off the rail. He looked at me with a sort of affection, "We have no time to lose and see what you can do with your new magic."
I felt the heat in my cheeks grow as I reached for his hand, even though we had held hands like this for a long time. Once I gripped his hand we took off into the atmosphere. I never got tired of the view.
We were in the air for about fifteen minutes before we came to our usual area on North Mountain. The snow crunched under our feet and we started walking hand in hand, "Let's start here." Jack said turning toward me and smiling.
"What are we going to start with?" I asked.
He shrugged, "I don't know. Just, let it go, I guess." He laughed.
I laughed with him and readied myself. I held my hands out and acted like I was pushing an object. A blast of snow came from my hands and ran straight into Jack. He was knocked to the ground and groaned as he got up, "That had some force to it. I guess I have to be careful." He laughed heartily.
I tried out my powers again with a sweep of my arms. Following my motion was some snow and ice that blew with a frosty breeze in that direction, "This is amazing!" I said cheerfully. I continued with different sort of techniques like making it snow, creating ice pillars, and actual architecture.
