Chapter 1

~The Heir Arrives ~

A very long time ago, when the kingdom of Arendelle was first established a wicked sorceress know as The Snow Queen threatened the land. Enclosing it in harsh eternal winter, the first King and Queen fought hard to restore the warm, but it was not enough, they needed The Snow Queen to reverse the evil spell she cursed the land with.

But the Queen wanted something in return if the King agreed a child somewhere along the bloodline of the royal family would be gifted the powers of Ice and snow and finish what she had started. In return she would unfreeze the lands and leave Arendelle, knowing that one day her heir would be seated upon the throne and rule a kingdom Frozen in ice.

"Elsa!" I hear my sisters sleepy voice, from a hazy sleep. "Elsa!" A tiny person jumps onto my bed. "Elsa!" she whispers again.

"Anna, it's the middle of the night, go back to bed." I pull the covers up over my head, but soon I can feel tiny hands brush over my shoulders as they pull the warm blankets off my body.

"Elsa!" Anna shakes me slightly and I sit up. "Anna what is it!" I sit up and ask slightly annoyed.

"Elsa we have to PLAY!" Anna giggles quietly. "the suns coming out!"

I shove Anna off the bed and hear a tiny. "ooh." Looking down I find my younger sister covered in a thin sheet of ice her ginger hair now white as snow.

"Anna?" I whisper softly. Jumping out of bed. "Mamma? Papa?" screaming as loud as I can. Until both my parents run through the doors.

"Elsa! Elsa what have you done?" my father stares at my while my mother cradles Anna and wraps her in a blanket.

"I didn't mean to! I..." I look down I don't like being yelled at.

"I'm locking you In here for now." I hear my father say. "You're too dangerous, Elsa... You've just nearly killed your sister." I gaze upon my father horrified. "She... She's going to be alright isn't she?" I ask with a trembling voice.

My mother puts a hand on my shoulder and kisses my forehead. "She will be alright Love."

I watch the three of them leave and that was the last I ever saw of Anna. For days and days my father kept me locked up in my room. He told me I was supposed to be quiet that Anna didn't remember I had magic, or that she had a sister he did not want me to hurt her or be given the chance to, and her didn't want Anna to remember anything not even that I existed. He told me it would be to hard on my younger sister. The door to my room could only be opened by his key. Not even my mother came to see me. I could hear voices sometimes, outside of my room and I often wondered if my father was doing it just to make me feel bad.

"You honestly think we can keep her in the castle? She's a danger too all of us! Just look at what she did to Anna! Her powers will grow stronger and who's to say she won't hurt one of us."

"She is your daughter... You can't keep her locked up forever.

"That, is not my daughter and I will lock her up for as long as I choose."

When I heard my father speak those words I wanted to stop listening. My parents always loved me, until the day I hurt Anna.

"What if she hurts Anna again? We only have one normal child." The king spoke in a hushed tone.

"Elsa, is our daughter... She never meant to harm Anna." My mothers soft voice echoed through the walls. A part of me hoped that my father would go far away and mother would let me out and I could play with Anna again. That my life would be happy and I would have to hide in isolation.

But days passed and nothing happened my father brought me food morning, noon and night. I had no contact with other people and my room became a prison. I was locked away in for eternity I could see outside sometimes and would watch my sister playing outside, memories of the times I was out with her danced inside my head. I wished she would just look up to my window and see me, that we might be together again one day. Yet after thinking about all of it, hearing what my father said about me. Killed any hopes of ever being able to see Anna again.

"Elsa is getting older and her powers are growing, I think we should move her, lock her up somewhere there is no chance of hurting anyone."

"There is nowhere for her to go." the queen replied

"The cellars, we could bring her things in there, it would be much smaller but it would keep all of us safe, there would be no chance Anna and Elsa would ever come into contact with each other."

"What about Elsa? She can't stay there it's no place for a child, she needs us. Darling you used to love her, she isn't dangerous."

"My Beautiful Queen, it is for our safety, Elsa is a danger if she intends to be or not and if she were not a part of the royal family she would have been executed for what she did."

I was hiding in the corner of the room. I didn't feel very good, my stomach hurt and my throat was all tight. I didn't want to cry because my mother told me a princess never cries. If I wasn't a good daughter I at least wanted to do something right.

In a few moment the door to my room opens and both my parents walk in. "Don't touch her." my father warns. "She might hurt you." He continue in a strict tone.

"Oh, your ridiculous." My mother walks over to me. "Come on Elsa come here you're okay, Nobody's going to hurt you." I crawl over to her and she picks me up in her arms. "My darling little girl, How I've missed you."

It feels so good to wrap my arms around my mother. I haven't felt warm in days or been told I'm still loved. The only things I have heard is how much my father wishes he would be rid of me. He does not know I've heard nearly everything, or how horrible I feel that I hurt my sister.

"Bring her downstairs." The King orders in a strong tone, looking at some of the guards who stood at the door. They came forward to grab me quite quickly, I held on even tighter to my mothers arms begging her not to let go of me.

"Look at her, She wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose and the cellars are no place for a princess." My mother gazes up at his with disapproving eyes.

"But darling shes dangerous." My father pleaded with her to let me go I heard my parents speaking but I only clutched my mother tighter. She still loved me, and Anna was okay she wasn't hurt anymore my mother forgave me, but my father only talked of how I was not to be trusted with these powers. He couldn't let me free because I was a danger to Arendelle and every time I heard it, it made me feel sick.

"I will not have this conversation in front of Elsa, she belongs here. With us, she shouldn't have to be locked away." my mother looked with such a sad face in my fathers direction. "I love my daughter I will not let you treat her like some sort of animal."

I hugged my mother even tighter. "I love you too." I say softly. "Please, I know I hurt Anna but please don't lock me away. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." for a moment I forget I'm a princess and cry into my mothers shoulders.

"It's alright Elsa darling, you aren't going anywhere."

But my father did not listen, by the same time the next week I was locked up downstairs when I had been brought there in the middle of the night it was the first time in many months I had been let out of my room. Now locked in the tiny stone room, beneath the castle I could no longer watch Anna play outside giggling and running around smiling. There was no windows and no warmth just me a few things I brought with me and the cold stone walls. I hated it down here more than anything else, not only was I secluded from the world I was brought into the same place Arendelle holds all of its prisoners, as if I were one of them myself. Hardly anyone knew I existed anymore, my sister did not the people in the village were told I had died long ago and all Anna's memories of me were gone. I secretly hoped that one day somebody might let it slip that she had a sister, and that her sister was alive.
