Present day

"Elsa!" I heard Madame Gothel calling for me. I quickly sat up. I fell asleep near the hearth again and I knew I had to prepare breakfast or else. I got up, put my hair in its usual intricate bun and started getting the bread, pastry and tea. Ever since father died, Gothel showed her true colors. She was most unkind and very selfish. Astrid and Ruff were the same. And since then they've made me the house servant. They made me keep away my nice clothes, made me do the laundry, cook, clean and maintain the house. I've been their servant for four years now; ever since father died.I just sighed and went to the dining room.


I saw madame already sitting in the dining table reading the morning paper. Astrid and Ruff were also there bickering like usual. I rolled my eyes and set breakfast down the table. I cleared my throat, "Breakfast madame."

Madame Gothel put her newspaper down slowly. "Heavens you took so long We're all starvi- Elsa what ever is on your face?" I blinked for a moment wondering what she was talking about. I remembered I didn't have time to look at myself this morning. "W-what is it?" I asked curiosly.

Ruff stood up and touched my cheek harshly. "This! What is this?" she started rubbing it and some went to her calloused fingers. Then I saw it, it was black and powdery.

"It's soot!" Astrid cried out. Both of them were examining the black powder. When suddenly she laughed a high-pitched haughty laugh.
"Elsa covered in soot! Hohoho, guess I should expect that seeing as you sleep on the floor!"
"Hahahaha dirty Elsa! Next time please bother to clean yourself up!"

"Girls, girls please calm down, breakfast is starting to get cold. Now off you go Elsa, clean the house." madame said before dismissing me.

"Oh wait Elsa! Ruff we should have a new name for her!" Astrid laughed.
"How about Dirty Elsa?" Ruff suggested.
"No no, hmm.. I know! Cinderelsa! Hahaha!" then all their high-pitched laughters hung in the air. I walked away quietly. I felt tears stinging in my eyes.

"Oh sorry to dirty up your name Elsa, actually I'm not sorry at all. By the way who gave you that name?" Astrid said haughtily.
I whispered quietly. "My.. Mother.."

"Your dead mother perhaps? Hahaha!" Ruff's horrible laughter filled the room.

The tears that were about to fall from my eyes suddenly disappeared as I was filled with rage. "Don't talk about my mother like that!"

The air suddenly became quiet. Everyone was looking at me shocked and for a moment I was too. For I have never yelled at them like that. No matter how hard they mistreated me. Gothel's voice broke the silence "Have we offended you Elsa?" she rose from her chair and began to slowly walk towards me. "Sorry about your mother, but she indeed gave you a name that is quite... Unfit for you. Shame your father agreed, but what else could you expect from a dirty woman who got lucky marrying a rich mercha-"

"Enough!" I said angrily and shot ice at her. I was glaring at her but then I realized what have I done. I glanced at Astrid and Ruff, they both looked like they saw a ghost. And Gothel... She was gaping at me and stood frozen.

I stood stock still for moment before I heard Ruff's distressed voice yell, "Witch! Mother she's a witch!"

"Mother you have to take her to town! We need to get rid of her!" Astrid's yell joined Ruff's. I held my hands to my chest, my powers have gotten the best of me, I lost control.
"N-no! I can control them, I'm not a witch! J-just give me time t-to go somewhere! I can control them again!" I pleaded.
"No! You're a... A... Monster! M-mother! Get rid of her already!" Astrid screamed at her mother.

But Gothel just stood there and stared at me, then she mouthed one word. "Go."


I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My face has dark marks on it from the ash and cinders of the hearth. My tears are finally falling and started washing away some of the dirt. I washed my face then ran outside to the old stable where my trusty white horse Marshmallow was. I quickly mounted him and rode out into the forest. I can feel it. I can feel my powers and they want to be released but I clenched my fists, held them back and just kept on riding.

I finally reached my destination. The North mountain, the tallest mountain in Arendelle and I loved it because there was snow all year round. I started coming here since last year when I found the mountain trail. And I come here when I want to be free from Gothel's clutches. I finally reached the peak and tied Marshmallow to a nearby tree.
"Wait for me will you? I'm just going for a walk." I said to him before trudging up the mountain.

I thought about all the things that happened since father passed away. His funeral, the servants being dismissed, Kai our old butler friend, and Gerda my governess leaving me, Gothel ordering me around, and Astrid and Ruff wrecking my room. I wanted to stop them, but I can't. I know they're mean to me but I couldn't bear to hurt them. But after what happened I think I could and now I'm scared.

Strong winds were blowing as I walked but I held my arms together. I wasn't cold though, no, the cold never bothered me. I was walking, still frustrated with myself, then a thought came to my mind, a thought that would perhaps make me calm down, I began to sing.

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,
not a footprint to be seen
a kingdom of isolation
and it looks like I' the queen

I walked and walked, my head bowed in sadness and loneliness.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried

I looked up at the blue sky and frowned.

Don't let them in, don't let them see
be the good girl you've always had to be
conceal don't feel, don't let them know...

I looked at my gloved hands, then I felt the urge to take them off.
Well know they know... I took them off and let it get carried away by the wind.

Let it go, let it go, can't hold it back anymore

I let a few snowflakes out of my hands and I smiled
Let it go, let it go turn away and slam the door!

I let my powers roam free.
I don't care, what they're going to say!
Let the storm rage on...
Now I felt better, my powers were under control, because I felt free.

The cold never bothered me anyway...

I ended the song with those words and I felt a smile grace my face. I turned around and saw what my powers have done, I saw Olaf, the snowman I used to make when I was a child and figure formed out of snow. But I didn't want to leave just yet...

It's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through
I approached an area where there was a large gap between the next mountain then with my powers I made a bridge but it looked quite plain. I wonder...
No right, no wrong no rules for me.
I stepped on the bridge and it started to change in design, then I grabbed the railings, it too started to change.

I'm free...
I didn't even think anymore as I ran up the frozen stairs that were changing into a beautifully designed staircase.

Let it go! Let it go!
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go!
You'll never see me cry!

Then an idea popped into my mind. And I wanted to see how my powers were going to form this but with confidence, I stomped my foot onto the snowy ground and a thick ice floor started to form.

Here I stand, and here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on...

I decided to continue with my design, so I raised my arms and pillars started to form.

My power flurries from the air ino the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
and one thought crystallizes like an icy blast,
I'm never going back, the past is in the past!

I put my hand up my hair, loosening the bond and it fell in a french braid. I then wanted to change from my 'cinderelsa' dress.

Let it go! Let it go!
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
My simple teal dress now transformed into an ice blue one. It was floor length, and had a slit on one side exposing a little of my leg. The middle was decorated as if it was made out of diamonds. Sleeves started to appear and encase my arms till my wrists. Finally a shimmering gossamer cape finished the I made my way to the balcony.

Let it go, Let ig go!
That perfect girl is gone
Here I'll stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on!

"The cold never bothered me anyway." I finished proudly, smirking to myself and turned around while the door slammed shut behind me.


To all those who read, followed and reviewed thank you! :D

Danazia Grey: Thank you for reviewing. :) And I was actually mistaken. I put in "Anna will not be in this story" I meant that she won't be in this chapter and I guess she won't be for a few chapters. But She will be in the story. Plus I didn't want to make her an evil stepsister so I cut that idea. Hope you understand.

Arabella: Thank you! Really appreciate your review. :D

No need: I do plan on continuing this story xD. I'm just a late updater but I'll try to update chapters sooner. Thanks! :D

6abriella3: Thank you for the review! and thank you for understanding if Anna wasn't present. But I made a mistake about that cuz she will be. Also, thanks for the advice. :D
