-Elsa! Elsa!- Her sister Anna climbed her enormous bed and jumped in her back.-Wake up, wake up, wake up!
-Go back to bed, Anna.-she mumbled, half-asleep. Through her mid-closed eyes she saw the room still in darkness.
-I can't.-she reckoned. - The sky's awake, so I'm awake, so we gotta play!
Elsa changed position. She loved her sister beyond all, but she was so tired…
-Leave me alone.-she finally said, and pushed Anna out of her bed.
Anna climbed again, with a malicious smile and whispered: - Do you wanna build a snowman?
Elsa suddenly felt like all the tiredness had gone away. She jumped out of her bed and followed her giggling sister through the corridors. They finally arrived to the ballroom, and Anna glared at her elder sister in admiration. Elsa smiled, self-consciously.
-Are you ready?-she asked.
-Yes, yes, yes!
Elsa started to rotate her hands, and a cloud of snowflakes formed in-between them.
Anna laughed, drunk in her happiness.
-My dear Elsa, you'll power will only grow. There's beauty in it, but also great danger…You must learn to control it.
Elsa felt his father's hand squeezing her shoulder, and she tried to compose herself. The swirling memories of the past hours were still vivid in her mind. She had struck her beloved sister Anna. She believed in her, and loved her, and she had hurt her. Because of that, her memories of Elsa's power had been removed from her mind, and they were going to be torn apart. It was all her fault. Her parents must be so disappointed with her. Grand Pabbie had just shown them that her powers were to get dangerous, which definitely was not good news. Elsa tried hard not to cry again.
The wise troll looked at her with compassion, but there was nothing he could do. Soon, nobody would like to be with her, and she was the heir to the throne! Anna smiled in her dreams.
-Thank you very much, Grand Pabbie.-said the king, and Elsa nodded shyly.
The next day, Elsa's new room was prepared, and she shut the door behind her with a great relief. She was getting more and more fearful of herself, and tried hard not to let go of her powers again. Bored, she climbed to the window sill and looked outside. It was a colorless day, with no wind. The views showed the castle's courtyard, and the gates, which were closed since the day before. Her parents didn't want to scare the whole population with her powers, and were determined to help her conceal them. Elsa's forehead touched the cold window.
-Hey! Elsa! It's me, Anna! - Her sister knocked her door.-Why is your bed missing in our room? Did you move? Can I come visit you?
-No, Anna.-she sat in the window sill, staring at the door that kept her away from her sister.
-No? Why? Are you angry? I didn't do anything! –Her sister thought for a few seconds. - Or did I? Well, whatever it was, I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!
Elsa embraced herself, in silence.
-Elsa! It's snowing outside! Do you wanna build a snow…?
-No, Anna, go away!-she yelled, in panic.
Anna was clearly shocked by her sister´s tone.
-Okay, bye…-she mumbled, and then, there was silence again.
She turned to face the window again. Anna was right, it was snowing. But they would never play with the snow. Never again.
Teardrops filled her eyes.
-Hey, snowflake.
Elsa rose her eyes in shock, and fearfully went back in her seat. There was a strange boy standing next to the door, his back in the wall and his arms crossed, barefoot. His hair was completely white, and his skin was very pale. He was wearing a blue sweater and some ripped pants, and smiled at her mischievously. His eyes were striking blue.
Then, he noticed that she was looking right at him and incredulously stared at the wall behind him. He opened his mouth to continue talking, but Elsa considered it was enough.
-Who are you and how did you get in here? Get out! I… I'm dangerous.-she said without even breathing.
The boy smiled again.
-Oh, I see, I'm being such a rude. My name is Jack Frost, and I know about your little powers. You don't have to worry about them, I have quite the same problem as you, princess. I'm also the Guardian of Fun.
-I… I don't know what a Guardian is…-Elsa frowned in suspicion.
The boy flied and sat next to her, standing in his toes. Elsa widened her eyes while he moved, at the evident surprise from Jack.
-Why are you…?-he started. His eyebrows rose. - Can you see me?
-Am I supposed not to?-she enquired.
-Well-he said, excited. - I have only been seen by somebody when I turned a Guardian.
-I still don't know…
-It's okay, buddy. I'm here to show you what you and I know that you got.-he winked, but she was not sure about this whole thing going on at all.
-Look, that's very kind of you, but I can hurt you as I hurt my sister Anna. You'd better go.
-What do you not understand, snowflake? You can't hurt me. I have your same powers. - He said. He opened his hand and a tiny snowball was created. Elsa couldn't believe her eyes.
-You… You're going to help me?
-Yes, princess.
Elsa smiled for the first time since the day before. Then, at a knock in the door, she pushed him so he could hide, but he giggled and disappeared. Her parents entered the room.
-Look, Els. This gloves will help you control your powers.-she put them on carefully, taking so much care in not touching her father's hand. She noticed her freezing powers trying to get out of them, but it worked. Even so, it provoked in her an anxious feeling to get rid of them.
-Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mum.
When they went off the room, she sat in her bed, her shoulders down.
-Jack…?
-I like Els. But I still prefer snowflake.-Jack reappeared in the room, and with a blurred move, took off the gloves and put them off. Elsa instantly felt better, a little guilty anyway.
-They are supposed to help me conceal my powers.-she protested.
-But, Els… There's no need to conceal them.-at a move of his hands, Elsa's braid was covered in ice diamonds, as well as her purple winter dress.
-This is beautiful!-she exclaimed, gasping.-Thank you, Jack.
-Always, snowflake. You don't need to be afraid of your powers, as long as you believe in yourself. Okay, princess?
Elsa nodded, enthusiastically.
