Prologue:
"Arendelle's Home for the Special'". It is an institution that has thrived for hundreds of years. A place like that has been here for so long, must have many secrets. And 'Arendelle's Home for the Special' has just that.
It's history is shrouded in mystery. Only the one who run it know how it started. People that are on the outside have no way of knowing what it really is about. It maintains this mystery by being disconnected from society. It is located on a far off place where no one can find it. Although it's disconnection with the outside world, Arendelle's is always aware of what's going on with the world.
Only a hand full of people know about this place. But even they still believe the facade that Arendelle's is just an orphanage. In reality, Arendelle's is not just an orphanage.
It is a place for those truly 'special'.

-10 years earlier-
It was a quiet night at Southern Isles Orphanage. All the children were put to bed and were fast asleep. Except for one child who desperately awaited midnight to come. Anna sat in her bed watching the clock. She was up since 11 o'clock. Each passing minute felt like hours but she didn't mind. To her, It was worth the wait. Finally it was almost time.
11: 57
Almost...
11: 58
Just a 2 minutes more...
11: 59
Almost there...
12:00
Anna jumped up in glee. She turned her head to her sleeping sister in the bed across from hers. The younger sister giggled to herself as she sneaked up to her sister's bed.
"Psst..." Anna whispered, "Elsa, wake up."
Anna perked up as she saw Elsa shift. But she immediately grimaced when she saw that her sister was still asleep.
"Elsssa...!" Anna poked her sister on the forehead. But she still got no response.
Finally, Anna got frustrated with calling her sister and decided to jump on top of her instead. Elsa's eye's flew open as soon as she felt something heavy on top of her. Her eye's quickly found themselves on her little sister, who was giving her a pouty look.
"Anna?" Elsa rubbed her eyes, "Why did you wake me-"
"Guess what day it is?!" Anna crawled up to Elsa's face.
"Tuesday...?" Elsa looked at the calendar that was next to their vanity. It was the 21st of December. The older girl raised an eyebrow at the big heart that enclosed the date.
"No!" Anna exclaimed, "It's your birthday!"
"..." Elsa stared at her sister with confusion. Then it hit her like a brick, today was her birthday! Elsa grinned widely at her baby sister, "Today's my birthday!"
"We should celebrate!" Anna suggested as she tugged her sister off of the bed.
"How? You know that Sister Anne doesn't like to celebrate birthdays." Elsa asked as the straightened out her nightgown. Southern Isles Orphange never celebrated birthdays. They say that it wasn't important.
"So we should celebrate now that she's not here!" Anna replied. Elsa glared at the five year old questioningly, what did she have up her sleeve.
"Where?" Elsa crossed her arms sternly. Anna smirked smuggly as she dragged her sister to the window in their room.
"Outside!" Anna pulled up the window to reveal a winter wonderland outside. Elsa awked at the snow. The snow covered the ground like a blanket. It sparkled under the moonlight.
"B-but what if we get caught, Anna?" Elsa turned back to her sister.
"We won't." Anna gave Elsa a ressuring smile. "Come on' Elsa! Let's go!"
"Anna..." Elsa back away from the window. The winter chill was begining to set itself in the room. But that didn't bother Elsa. It never never did.
"Pleaaaese." Anna pleaded.
"We shouldn't." Elsa gave a quick look outside. The snow was calling her. It was Elsa's and Anna's favorite thing to do in the winter. But Elsa was distracted as she saw the triumphant smile on Anna's face.
"Do you wanna build a snowman...?" Anna said teasingly.
"..." Elsa held a hand out the window. A little snowflake landed on the middle of her palm. Anna bounced as a big smile appeared on Elsa's face. "Only for a little bit," Elsa said while she picked up a coat from the coat hanger.
"Yay!" Anna squealed energetically, "are you gonna do the magic?!"
"Maybe." Elsa threw a small coat to her sister.
"This is going to be so much fun!"
"This is so much fun!"
Anna tumbled down a large snowhill that covered part of the orphanage. Elsa quickly plunged after her. The sisters giggled quietly as they trudged in the snow into the of yard. The streets were empty, not one car was on the streets. It was a quiet night and the moon was big and bright.
"Do the magic! Do the magic!" Anna ushered her older sister into the middle of the yard. Elsa raised an eyebrow at her sister but gave into her request anyway. The older girl enclapsed her hands and released. Anna's eyes sparkled as she saw a small snowball form in Elsa's hands.
"Watch this!" Elsa exclaimed confidently as she raised her arms to the sky and the snowball turned into a bigger snowball.
Elsa always had the power to control and make snow or ice. It was there ever since she could remember. Elsa never questioned the existence of her powers. She doesn't know how they came to be but she learned to accept it. Before her parents died, they told her to keep her powers a secret from others. They never said why but they drilled it into her head to keep her abilities to only herself (and Anna). And to this day, Anna is the only one who knows about this magic of hers.
"Haha!" Elsa threw the giant clump of snow to her sister. Anna gasped and ran out of the way before the snowball hit the floor.
"Elsa, you're so mean!" Anna said as she pouted, "What if it fell on me?"
"What?" Elsa laughed at her sister, "Is the fearless Anna scared of a little snow?"
"No I'm not!" Anna turned around and squatted down on the floor.
"What are you doing-"
Elsa was interrupted by a snowboll that collided with her face. She backed up and brushed the snow off her cheeks with her mittens. She glared at her sister with annoyance, "That was so unfair!"
"Just cause you're the birthday girl, doesn't mean that I'm going to go easy on you!" Anna shouted while she made more snowballs from the ground.
"Fine!" Elsa formed more snowballs between her hands. "Then just because you're my little sister doesn't mean that I will go easy on you!"
Anna stood up from the snow to give her hands a break. The girls were in a quick deadlock in order to gather up snowballs. The cold has made it's place in her body and she was shivering. The younger girl looked at all snowballs she formed. She smiled proudly as they were a very large amount. It was enough to beat Miss Freeze-pant's in a snowball fight.
Anna stole a quick glance to Elsa's snowball pile. Immediately, she gawked at the sheer sight of the moutain made out snowballs that her sister made. "No fair! I wish I had magic!" The girl exclaimed.
"I wish you did too! It would be so cool!" Elsa responded as she looked up from her snowball making.
"Hey, Elsa. Why do you have magic?" Anna asked.
"I dunno. Mom and Dad said that it was because I'm special." Elsa responded. The girls forgot about their snowball preparations and opted for a conversation instead. Anna frowned at the mention of her dead parents. She was too young to remember her parents, unlike Elsa. Although Elsa was young when it happened, she still had a couple of memories of them. Once in a while she would tell her stories from when they were alive. But they were very short and not descriptive cause Elsa forgot them. Nevertheless, Anna would be lying if she said that she wasn't jealous. But she knows that even if she doesn't have her parents, Elsa will always be with her.
"So I'm not special?" Anna looked her sister with sad puppy-dog eyes.
"What?- you are special." Elsa reassured her sister, "Everyone is special."
"Why can't you tell anyone about your magic?" Anna inquired. She always wondered about this. Her sister's powers were cool and amazing. Why not tell other people? Elsa could become famous if she did!
"Mom and Dad said that I couldn't" Elsa shrugged. Eventhough their parents were gone, Elsa felt it was best to listen to them.
"Why?"
"Don't ask me. I don't know."
"So, you can't tell anyone of your magic?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Are you sure? Can't you tell someone? Just one person."
"For the last time, I can't-"
"But Elsa!"
The sisters argued in the yard. They weren't yelling and made sure that their voices didn't wake anyone up. But little did they know, some was already awake.
Twp pairs of foot steps quietly glided across the yard. It was a man and a woman. They saw two girls in the middle- it was Anna and Elsa. It looked like they were arguing with each other. The two looked up at the window of their room. It was open, that must be the way they got out. Luckily their room was on thefirst floor so it wasn't hard for them to jump down. The girls continued arguing, it didn't seem like they saw them. The man handed the flashlight to their partner and walked towards the girls. But they immediately stopped as they saw the unthinkable.
"Anna, don't make me snowball you!" The older girl- Elsa, spontaneously formed a small snowball within her hand.
"What?" The man whispered. His eyes widdened in astonishment. Did she just make a snowball with just her hands? No- no! That isn't possible! She must of already had snow in her hands!
"Bring it!" The younger sister exclaimed.
"Oh I will!"
All the man's theories were broken in a split second as he saw the older girl gather the snow around her with just a wave of her hand into a wall. T-this couldn't be true! What did he just see? What is that little girl doing?! Is the younger sister safe!?
The man lost all of his sensibilities and started for the two girls. The woman yelled after him but he ran on anyway.
Anna fell to the ground as a clump of snow fell onto her chest. Elsa didn't look like it, but she was a wicked snowball thrower. It probably had something to do with her magic. "I didn't throw it that hard, dummy!" Elsa peaked over the side of her fort to laugh at her sister's antics.
"Yes you did- You big-..." Anna trailed off.
"What?" Elsa asked. Her baby sister looked as if she was in a trance. But Elsa immediately grimaced as Anna pointed at her in horror.
"M-monster behind you!" Anna screamed.
Elsa snorted and rolled her eyes at Anna, "Monster's don't exist, Anna-"
Her body felt chills as she felt a strong pair of arms pull her back. She tried to turn her head to see the monster but she was frozen. Frozen in fear. She wanted to punch, kick, or run away- or anything- but she couldn't. Her body was too scared to respond.
"Elsa!"
Craaccck
"Get away from her!"
"No-no- No!" tears streamed down a womans face, "Please-!"
Time stopped and everything stood still.
The sound of her heart beat filled her ears.
Her muscles clenched and her eyes closed themselves.
And her instincts took over.
A loud icy blast replaced the beating of her heart. Her eyes were still close as her body was dropped onto the cold hard snow. There was a ringing in her eyes that blocked out any other sounds. Something- arms wrapped around her. But they were too short and weak to pull her up from the ground.
"El-"
The ringing slowly subsided as she opened her eyes.
"Elsa!"
Elsa stared at her sister- wide eyed. Anna wipped a lone tear that streamed down the side of her cheek.
"Elsa- are you okay?" Anna asked with a shaky voice.
"I- we- What happened to the monster?" Elsa finally got a hold of her body and propped herself up with her elbows.
"I-it wasn't a monster..." Anna lowered her head.
"What do you mean-"
Elsa looked to her right- and there was a body on the ground. A woman was over him, frantically checking his vitals. Elsa pursed her lips as she realized that the woman was Sister Anne.
"Sister Anne?" Elsa said softly.
"Elsa!" Sister Anne quickly snapped her head up, "Are you okay!?"
"I think so." Elsa responded.
"Thank Goodness..." Sister Anne sighed.
Elsa's eyes wondered to the man on the ground. He was wearing a large jacket with a hat and scarf that covered most of his face. But she gasped as she saw a large sheet of dark ice cover his coat.
"W-what happened!" Elsa reached out to touch the ice. But was swatted away by Sister Anne.
"I don't know how. But I think you panicked and used your- thing - on Peter." The older woman explained.
"Wait. Is that Mr. Peter!?" Elsa held her breath. Mr. Peter was another worker at the orphanage.
"Yes- we were here because we had some calls of someone being in the orphanage." Sister Anne said, "I tried to tell him to wait..."
"But- Elsa didn't do it on purpose. Right?" Anna turned to her older sister, who looked like a deer on the head lights.
"I- I did! I'm so sorry-"
Elsa stopped as she heard a grumbling come from the lying man besides her. They all turned their attentions towards Mr. Peter. A weight was taken off of all of them the exact moment his eyelids slowly opened.
"Peter-"
"Sister Anne...?" Mr. Peter looked around with a confused look on his face. "Anna? Elsa? Wait- what am I doing here?"
"What...?" Sister Anne whispered.
"A-and why am I so cold!" Mr. Peter said as he started shaking.
"You don't remember?" Sister Anne asked.
"No- I don't remember anything at all." The man held himself as he shivered, "Can we go inside so you can tell me?"
Sister Anne flicked her head to Elsa then back at Mr. Peter. She pursed her lips and helped the man up. "Yes of course, Peter..."
Anna sat in the snow with her sister as she watched the two adults walk back inside.
"Elsa...?" Anna poked Elsa on the arm.
"Anna- I- I hurt him!" tears streamed down Elsa's cheeks like a waterfall.
"But it doesn't count!" Anna cried, "It wasn't on purpose!"
"But I still hurt him!" A hiccup escaped Elsa's throat. "And that means that I can hurt other people!"
"N-not on purpose!" Anna felt her eyes start to water. It was difficult seeing her strong big sister break down before her eyes.
"That's even worse! What if I do it again? What if I can't control it?" Elsa stared down at her at her hands. "What if I hurt you...?"
"Y-you won't-"
"Girls! Get back inside!" Sister Anne yelled from the front door of the orphanage.
"Okay!" Anna got up from the snow and waited for her sister.
Elsa sat there, staring at the moon. It was bright and beautiful. A sense of familiarity came upon her. Her mind wandered back to the moment before the accident.
"Elsa!"
She could hear her mother's voice flash through her head. It was a fleeting memory that she couldn't remember.
"Conceal your powers. Don't feel it. Don't let it show."
Elsa turned her head to Mr. Peter, who was being ushered quickly inside. He was shivering, violently at this point. And it was because of her.
"Elsa?" Anna's voice brought Elsa back to reality, "We have to go."
"..."
Conceal, don't feel, don't let it show.
"Yeah..."
