Intro: A Single Wish
"Do you want to build a snowman...?" thirteen year old Anna said on her side of the door, behind which Elsa slumped with shivering arms around her knees.
The older princess stayed silent, trying desperately to keep in the shock and sorrow off her parents' deaths. Every time she thought of their kind faces and how they did everything they could to help her, the room grew colder by several degrees. Icicles hung from the ceiling, frightening the young teenager with the sharp lethal tips that threatened to fall down on top of her. Patterns of ice and frost reached out from her, her fear inciting more power to be released and causing cracks to pop and creak in the frozen thorns above.
"Stop! Just...stop..." The princess buried her head in her arms, curling up against the door.
A gentle light and a gust of wind drew her eyes from hiding, attracting her attention towards the now open window, where the remnants of a winter gale lingered in flurries of white snow drifting around the opening. Moonlight gleamed and moved inside the room in rays as though to comfort her. And for a moment, it did.
The white-haired princess got up and walked over to the open window, the wind coming in to rush through her braided hair, but she wasn't cold from it. Elsa took a heavy gasp of air, her loss making her eyes burn with fear and sorrow. Looking out, she saw the full moon beaming down at her in the dark night.
Her face breaking in grief, Elsa let a tear fall down her face, the drop turning to ice before it shattered on the window sill. A wish on her lips, she took in a short breath and addressed the moon.
"Please, I need help." Her voice broke at the end and she wet her lips before trying again, "I need someone I can be with, have fun with ... someone that I can't possibly hurt. I wish I could be understood...please. Help me..."
Far away a boy stands on top of a thin layer of ice, stick in hand and worry in mind. He had to distract his little sister from the cracks under her skates. Succeeding in making her laugh, he reached out and counted with her to three.
I have to save her.
"One.." He hooked the stick around her waist.
"Two," his sister said, grabbing hold tight.
"Three!" Jack threw her aside to safety and away from the thin ice, and in turn he was stumbling toward the cracks.
I have to save her.
The ice gave in, his last memory being of his sister crying out his name before frozen waters claimed him, pulling him in. Icy claws had firm hold around his chest, and he couldn't break free. Ice cold water entered his every pore, chilling his bones until he could no longer feel it. The fire in his lungs dimmed, becoming a faint ember in the throws of the dark frozen lake.
His last breath gave out, and just as the burning cold water entered his lungs he saw a white light from above. Moonlight filtered in from the ice surface, lighting upon his pale face. In his last moment of life he felt something, a need to save someone.
I have to save...her.
