Back again (hopefully the wait wasn't too long for you) and I hope this chapter does the previous one justice.
I'm grateful that so many of you have chosen to add this story to their favourites, whether that is story or author, and also for the reviews sent. They have inspired me to continue this into a multi-story chapter, and those who have given me things to change and look over I also am very grateful to you also. You have all helped so much :D
I do not own Frozen or ROTG, if I did this would hopefully be made into a film ;)

Speaking to others – normal
Elsa (EPov) – In the dungeon of the castle, because of Hans…
'I wish I knew how and why this gift was left to me… why would anyone leave a monster like me (I look down at my gloved and trapped hands, I see the frost beginning to cover the outer layer of steel) a gift so… beautiful and pure? What did I do to deserve this?'
I move my encased hands, to slowly lift the edge of the snowflake pendent into my line of sight, when I'm able to see it I give a sigh of relief as I once again realise that I am the only one who is able to see the beautiful creation.
'A relief, I don't want to think about what they could do to something to beautiful and pure… so much like Anna' I sigh, resigned to never seeing her bubbly smile, or her never ending cheerfulness. I can still remember how happy she sounded whenever she woke me up at the crack of dawn, with the same excuse of 'the sky's awake, so I'm awake' and the way she would slowly say 'do you want to build a snowman' whilst knowing how much I loved using my powers. Why did everything have to change? Why did I fall over? I never fell! And on my own ice. How could I have hit her… my baby sister.
'Mum, Dad if you can hear me… I'm so sorry I let you down. That I was unable to conceal my power. I-I miss you… so, so much. Mummy? Daddy? I love you' I whisper to the night sky, whilst trying not to cry.
'And I'm sure they love and miss you too' came a soft reply, one I've been hearing since I was given the pendent. Looking around I try to find the origin of the voice, but I don't see anything other than the evidence of my power along the walls around me.
'Why won't you show yourself to me? I won't hurt you' with this said I look down at my lap, in shame.
'I would love to show myself to you, but you're not ready yet to see me sweet Elsa. I know you won't hurt me, I'm not afraid of you'
I looked up at that last statement, in wonder and confusion. How can he not be afraid of me? I hurt everyone around me. I struck Anna and nearly killed her. I froze my home. How can he not be… unless he's like me… he can't be! Can he?
'A-are you like me? Do you have a power you can't control?' silence 'Please? Can't you answer me this one thing? I need to know… I have to' I end in a whisper and close to tears.
And then, movement. A shimmer of blue, and the sound of wind and solidifying frost. With just that simple sound I knew. I knew I was no longer alone. And for the first time since that accident when I was just a child, I felt hope. I felt content, knowing that there was someone out there who knew what I was going through and could help me.
Looking up, I knew the stranger was gone, but I was no longer sad that they had left. I felt a renewed kind of energy, one where first I had to leave behind my home, and find a way to control my powers whilst also having fun with them once again. But…
Before I go, I must leave something for him. Something which comes from my heart. Something which shows just how much he has helped me…
'Stranger,
I don't know where you are,
But for now I'll leave this for you,
To show how I care for you,
I miss you when you're gone,
But now I know,
You never really leave me,
Your right by my side,
And someday I'll see who you are,
But for now I'll leave this for you'
And with that last line, I close my eyes and focus on all of the positive feelings that his presence evokes in me, and with those feelings the one which I feel most strongly of all is that of love. Love. Something I've only ever seen in my parents and Anna. Something I never knew I could feel. Focussing on the feeling of love, I create an ice crystal, though one infused with my love. One which will never thaw…
I freeze as the sound of keys meets my ears and the metal doors begin to slide open, revealing not those I wish to see but… Hans. Upon seeing his face, my features harden, and I feel my powers begin to grow out of control. A loss of control not even my love newfound love for my stranger could rain in.
Upon looking at me, the handsome features of the man who had wanted my little sisters hand in marriage twisted into something resembling a smirk
'Hello Elsa'
And there you have it, the second chapter is finally up.
Once again, anything you'd like me to change let me know
Oh, and I hope my attempt at a song for Elsa wasn't too bad.
