Conceal...

The words of my father echoed through my head as I looked out upon the thousands of eyes upon me. They all seemed to glare at me.. Waiting for me to mess up.

Don't Feel...

Uncle Duke was speaking proudly at the podium as he held the ownership to my late parent's company, Arendelle.

"I would like to present this plaque of ownership to the new C.E.O and owner of Arendelle, Elsa Arendelle!" Uncle grinned widely and held the plaque out towards me. I reached out, but he stopped me.

"Elsa. Take off the gloves... There is no need for them" Uncle Duke whispered, almost breaking into a laugh.

Don't let it show...

My hands shook violently as I took off my gloves and placed them on the podium. Uncle then smiled and handed me the plaque. Everyone applauded as I stepped up to the podium.

"Elsa... Your speech" Uncle Duke gave me a small grin and nodded for me to start. I took a deep breath and gripped the plaque tighter as I felt ice crystals start to form on it.

Make one wrong move and everyone will know...

"I want to thank you all for coming today and I wish my parents were here to see the support this company has. I promise as the new owner and C.E.O. of Arendelle that I will grow it even more and keep the company from harm. Thank you." As soon as my little speech was done, I shoved off my gloves and walked away from the podium, not even caring about the applause I was receiving.

Once we were all sat down and dinner was served, I couldn't help but notice Anna stealing quick glances at me. It has been a long time since we've been this close and there was a good reason for it. The white streak in her was there to remind me of the time I almost killed her. Anna looked so adult now; her lacy spring green dress accentuated her blue eyes and freckles. She looked like a princess.

"Hello..." I spoke quietly towards her.

"Huh? Oh who me?" I nodded gently at her. "Oh hello!" I giggled at Anna stumbling through her words.. It was adorable.

"You look beautiful tonight" I smiled gently and took a sip of my water.

"Thanks! But you look beautifuller... Not fuller... Oh you know what I mean." Anna's face became flustered as she pushed a stray hair back into her up do.

"I do... What is that amazing smell?" Anna and I sniffed the air and sighed.

"Chocolate!" We both spoke in unison and broke out laughing afterwards. I watched as Anna opened her mouth to speak, but a man walked up to us.

"Ms. Elsa! Congrats!" I recognized this man to be the infamous Tony Stark. There was no one in this world who didn't know of his big ego. It was quite amusing actually, with him being Iron Man and all.

"So, I wanted to talk to about upgrading your tower's power source. Let's go get a drink and we'll talk deals or whatever you want to."

"Sorry , but I am not the one who discuss business partnerships, I only approve them. But, my sister does" I looked over and winked at Anna. gave a cheeky smile and walked off with my sister to talk about who knows what.

As I waited for my sister's return, I was bombarded by people congratulating me. It has been a long time since I have had this much interaction with people. It was scary, yet refreshing. I have missed this pleasant contact with people.

Once Anna returned, I broke out in a small giggle.

"Well, how was meeting Iron Man?" Anna started to giggle as she sat down and gave me the brightest smile I have ever seen.

"The rumors about him are completely false, his ego is even bigger!" She was so ecstatic and bright, that I couldn't keep myself from smiling.

"Elsa... This is so nice! I wish we could hang out like this all the time!" Anna's eyes pleaded me to say what she wanted to hear.

"Me too..." I replied without thinking.. But then my senses came to me as I glanced at her white streaked hair, "but, it can't."

"Why not?" The tone in Anna's voice practically broke my heart.. But this is the way it has to be. Being separated is the only way to keep Anna safe from me.

"It just can't!" I slammed my fist down on the table and Anna squeaked from shock. I watched tears form in her eyes as she quickly got up.

"I- I'm sorry.. Please excuse me" she wiped her eyes and walked off into the crowd. I leaned back in my chair as I pulled my gloves on tighter. Tears threatened to fall through my eyes as I saw Uncle Duke across the room shake his head knowingly.

Later that night, Anna returned once more with a man's who hair was as red as the break of down. They giggled excitedly and spoke in hushed tones as the approached. I tilted my head and raised an eyebrow at the two.

"Elsa?" Anna giggled as she pulled the man closer to her, "I would like to present to you Hans Isles! His family owns Southern Isles Airlines! We just met and he is absolutely wonderful!"

"It is an absolute pleasure to meet you . Congratulations on becoming C.E.O." Hans held his hand out for me to shake, but I politely refused.

"It is nice to meet you to." I turned towards Anna, "Now is that all?" My sister shook her head no as she grew closer to Hans.

"We would like" They both started to speak in unison, "Your blessing- In our marriage!" The two both started to giggle and talked excitedly about wedding plans and Han's brothers or something.

"Wait slow down... No one's brothers are staying here and no one is getting married. Anna looked appalled as she gripped Hans' arm even tighter.

"But, why not?"

"Anna... Could I speak to you" I glanced at Hans, but then turned back to Anna "Alone?"

"No. Whatever you say to me, you can say it in front of Hans" I rolled my eyes at her and sighed.

"Fine, you can't marry a man you just met"

"But, it's true love!"

"Anna what do you know about true love?"

"More than you! All you know is how to shut people out!" Her statement hit me like a knife wound. Frost started to creep on my arms under my jacket.

"I still stand at what I said." I turned to the nearest security guard next to me "the party is over, shut the doors." And with that I started to walk off. Anna grabbed my wrist in a quick jerking motion. I yanked my arm back, but Anna's grip was so tight it took off my glove.

"Anna! Give me back my glove!" At this point the whole room was dead silent with all eyes on us.

"Elsa please! I can't live like this!"

"Then leave." Her whole face filled with hurt and pain... I could not bear to look at her anymore so I started to walk away again, shielding my hand.

"Elsa! I would have left if it weren't for you! I have tried to get through to you, but all you have done is shut me out!"

"Enough Anna..." The storm inside of me was now screaming to come out.

"Is that all you know what to do? Shut people out!? WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF!?"

"I SAID ENOUGH" I threw my uncovered hand towards the ground, releasing part of the storm. Spikes of ice formed and impaled about three people... And everyone started screaming.. And running. Including myself, straight out of the building.

Outside, a whole bunch of press gathered on the already crowded streets of New York City. They gathered around me like bugs to a light, bombarding me with questions.

" are you alright?" One elderly lady asked. I shook my head at her slowly and backed straight into a fountain that froze instantly as I touched it. Gasps filled the air and a group of men from the party barged right out of the front door screaming monster, demon, and every word in between.

"Please, I didn't mean to hurt anybody!" I pleaded as Ice involuntarily shot from my hand and froze the ground the men walked on. Once more, I took off down the streets of New York City, leaving a trail of ice and snow in my wake. I ran with no purpose in direction, only the desire to escape. I stopped once I reached the edge of the city that faces New Jersey. I looked down at the dark ocean below the railing, I saw those waves beckoning me to jump... maybe I could end it all.

"Elsa!" Anna's voice screamed from across the street. I looked a back and saw her and Hans running towards me. I took off towards the nearest dock and stopped once I reached the edge. My chest heaved up and down as I looked for a way to escape. Anna's pleading voice grew louder as she appeared at the other end of the dock. I took a step back, but only lost my footing a fell back. I braced myself for the salty water below, but I was met with hard ice. My head slammed against the hard ice, which rattled my brains. Blood started to drip from forehead, but froze before it could drip off of my face. I heard a scream from my sister, but I got up and ran... Freezing the ocean bit by bit with each step I took and I didn't stop until I was on the other side.

Now here I was, in some barren alleyway in New Jersey crying out my eyes. Snow fell from the sky and the wall I was resting on was covered in ice. I had nowhere to go now... I couldn't even go to the hospital to take care of my forehead.. I had to cover it with frost to keep it from bleeding... Heavens, I was pitiful... What in the world was I going to do now?

Out of nowhere, a glass bottle shattered and heavy footsteps echoed from the walls of the alleyway.

"I thought I heard someone crying down here or something..." I choked on my breath as a man's voice broke through the heavy footsteps.. Oh please, please no.. Not now.

"What is with all the ice back here man? It's not even winter..." One drunken man asked. Another glass bottle broke as the face of one of the drunken men looked down upon me.

"Well what do we have here? Some dessert?" The man smiled, revealing yellow teeth. His friends joined him shortly after and also pulled their lips back in a creepy grin.

"Please, stay away!" I stood up abruptly and tried to walk off.

"Now why would we do that pretty lady?" One of the men grabbed my arm roughly and brought me close to his face while licking his lips. He reeked of alcohol.

"Get off of me!" I screamed as I tried to push him away. A spike of ice formed on my hand and went right through the guy's shoulder. He screamed and threw me to the ground. One of his friends tried to help him get the ice out of his shoulder.

"This bitch is a monster!" one of them yelled.

"We should make her pay for hurting Jordan!"

"Let's burn the witch"

"Kill her"

All of them pulled out knives and moved towards me. I started to back up until my back hit the wall.

"Please, just leave me be!" At this point I was crying. As tears rolled down my face they froze and one of the men put a knife to my throat.

"I've met people like you before… Mutants... Monsters… You all should burn. It's such a shame you're one of them though… I could eat you up." The man moved the knife to my cheek and pressed down. I screamed as he slid it down to my jawline. I tried to move, but I was frozen in fear.

Thunk! The man dropped his knife as he was hit on the head with a… cane? He dropped to the ground a revealed the strangest man I have ever seen. He was a young man with slicked back raven black hair. He wore a suit and a scarf that looked to be of pure gold. The other men started to gang up on him, but he took them all down with his strange looking cane. As soon as he was finished knocking them all out, he turned to face me.

"Are you alright darling?" the mysterious man's voice was like silk to me. I looked him in the eyes and saw the most gorgeous green eyes… They were like glimmering emeralds, even in the dark of night.

"I… I think so…" I touched the cut on my cheek and winced at the pain. The man started to come closer, but I held out my hand to stop him.

"Please don't come any closer!" I pleaded… Once more snow started to fall around me.

"Why not?" the man chuckled and drew closer, "I saw what you were capable of and darling… The cold has never bothered me."
