Chapter 2

Elsa's POV

I felt like my world was being swallowed up after hearing about the death of my parents. The days grew longer, and my pain of being found out by the town of Arendelle was becoming harder and harder. I had shut Anna out more than ever, but deep down inside, I knew I needed her. She was the only one that knew about me, about the power that I held. It felt like days had passed, but in fact it was years. I was now at the age of 21 and Anna was 18, it has been three years since I had heard the dreadful news about my parents. I had shut everyone out for months, trapped inside my icy walled room. I was now aware that my powers were controlled by emotions, but to get my emotions under control was another task all together.

I heard Anna approaching my room as I gazed up at the ceiling while lying on my bed.

"Elsa, the snow!" Anna exclaimed.

I jumped up off the bed to find snow completely covering my bed covers. I was completely unaware that I was creating a snow pile beneath me.

"I'm sorry", I said. "I don't know how it happened, I.. I was just thinking".

"Elsa, it's fine, really. We will have this cleaned up in no time. Helen!"

I felt like I was a child that wet the bed, I just could not control it. It was so embarrassing and so frustrating.

Helen rushed in and started to scoop up the snow, as if she has been doing it her whole life. I turned away, knowing my cheeks were turning red.

"I'm going to go for a walk", I said towards Anna.

"Okay, make sure to be back by noon, for your dress fitting".

"Yes, I remember", I nodded and headed to the door.

As I left the castle, I felt like a weight had been lifted. I loved the outdoors; I loved the crisp cool breeze in the summer air, the way the birds sounded. I just enjoyed being away, I felt like I was free. I headed towards the gate when I just had an urge to run. I began running at a fairly good pace. As I got to the gate, I didn't slow down. I whipped open the door, and took off. As I dodge people, I could hear gasps and whispers.

"Is that Princess Elsa? Where is she going? Why is she running? Her coronation is tomorrow night. Is she leaving Arendelle?"

The whispers were driving me further and further away, I just needed to be alone. When I finally reached the woods, I collapsed under a tree to catch my breath.

"Need a drink of water?"

I jumped, when I heard the voice come from behind me. I turned to see a young man with dark brown hair staring back at me. He was holding out a small water canteen.

"Ah, umm, I'm alright. Thank you", I stuttered.

"Are you sure? You seem a bit out of breath", he said.

"No, no, I'm fine", I said while standing up.

He approached me and then stopped in his tracks. He looked up at me again and then knelt to his knees.

"I'm sorry Princess Elsa, I.. I didn't realize it was you" he said with his head down.

"Oh, it's alright. I was just out for a walk. And you are?"

He raised his head and took a step forward again.

"My name is Jack Frost, it's a pleasure to make an acquaintance with you Princess", he said as he reached his hand out.

I avoided his hand, but instead stared at him to get a better look. He was about my height with brown pants and a tan shirt. He looked young, but not too young. He had deep brown eyes. I realized I was staring and I think he realized it too. He lowered his hand and smirked.

"Are you lost?" He said. "I was just out for a walk myself, if your lost I can help you back.."

"No" I said cutting him off. "No, I'm not lost, just getting some fresh air".

"I see", he said.

Our conversation was beginning to become awkward, so I began to turn to continue on my walk.

"Mind, if I walk with you?" Jack piped up.

"Ah, sure", I said.

Jack made his way up to my side where he was about arms length away from me. I could see him much more clearly now. His hair was lightly brushed over his eyes and his smile was remarkably white.

"So" he said, "do you go for walks often out here? It's not too often I run into a Princess on my daily walks".

"No, not too often, only when I need to think", I responded. I felt like our conversation was very one sided, I didn't have anything to say.

"Say, isn't your coronation tomorrow evening?" he said.

I was surprised that he remembered.

"Yes, it is"

"Big steps for a Princess, are you excited? I know the town is."

"More nervous than anything", I responded.

"Nah, nothing to be nervous about", he began "being the Queen will be easy, and besides you've been doing a fine job now as it is".

I felt a smile coming over my face. I haven't felt a real smile in a long time.

"Thank you", I gleamed.

"Hey, have you ever been down to the lake before?" Jack said.

"No I haven't, where is it?"

"Follow me!" Jack said before taking off down a beaten down path.

I rolled me eyes, but took off after him.
