Chapter 1

First person POV. Video Diary.

'BEEP'

"OK, video diary. Video diary... (sigh) were do I even begin?" I say to myself as I start recording "I guess I should start from the beginning huh?"

"My name is Star. But not really."

"If you met me on the street and asked me how old I was I'd tell you that I'm 16. I wouldn't be lying because it's true... in a way. If you asked me where I got my (awesome!) jewelry from I'd say it was a family heirloom. And I'd be telling the truth... sort of. If you asked me where I was from I'd tell you my family used to live by the coast. and they did... kinda."

"Almost all my life I've been dodging questions like that, telling half truths. But I'm so tired of hiding, I've waited so long, too long. I can still remember how it all started, this journey of mine. Such a very long time ago..."


Third Person P.O.V. protagonists perspective.

A girl walked out of the water on to the beach. The moon was full and the stars were shining. She walked towards the nearby forest, her sky colored eyes searching for something. Her necklace barely peaked out of her dark blue cloak, making the moon shaped pendant seem to glow in its namesakes light. Her bare feet seemed to hardly make an impression as she almost appeared to glide above the sand.

"I wonder what I'm looking for." She thought to herself

She had once again been given a message. A mission. There was something very important she had to do here. As she walked along she wondered how her family was doing. She hadn't seen them in a long time. Of course they were hardly even her family anymore. Let alone... everything else.

She wandered through the woods, vaguely searching while she tried to turn her thoughts to another subject. As she drew closer to the path she heard something. Out of nowhere three horses went galloping by, one ridden by a man, another by a woman, and the last carried a woman holding a child, who looked a bit older than the other woman. They rode so fast she hardly saw them go by before they disappeared from view.

"Now where are they going?" Thought the girl "Better go investigate."

Just then it crossed her mind that this was what Luna had sent her for. The thought made her curious. Why would Luna send her to these people? Where were they going in the middle of the night? And, most importantly, who were they?

Just then, Star noticed the frost covered grass in-front of her "Frost?" she questioned "But it's the middle of summer!" Suddenly very alert and curious, she ran after the humans.

Finally she reached the spot that the strangers had stopped at. It was a village of trolls. She had been here before, when she was visiting the Equines of the northern tribes. They had wanted to meet somewhere safe and that was the safest place they could think of.

Just then Star noticed what was happening. The troll elder of the village, Pabbi, was casting a spell on the child. She hid at the edge of the village, watching the silhouettes intently. One of the women was holding the man, sobbing, the man looked sad and the other woman looked worried.

"Why?" Sobbed the woman "Why did our son have to be born with this curse?"

"Don't worry my love." The man responded "It will all be over soon"

"What will happen to the boy though?" asked the younger women.

"The boy will go with you to be watched over and raised, Alice." The man stated "If you will accept him."

"Oh yes, sir!" said Alice. "Jackson is such a good child, I would gladly take him in!"

Whilst they were still speaking it dawned on Star what this spell was supposed to do. And she was thoroughly disgusted with with them when it did. The child was gifted. And the spell? It was a spell to suppress his powers.

Why in the world were these people suppressing such a gift?! She had already recognized what the gift was. It was the ability to bring and control winter. She knew that Luna would have a connection to one who possessed such a gift. She herself had such a gift! Not strong as what she could sense this child was going to be, but she did have it. She her rage deepened and she glared at these humans, wondering why they would do such a thing. just imagine! Treating this gift as a curse! In her culture, a child born with such a gift would be respected for the connection it gave her to Luna, giving her special insight and wisdom.

At the same time though, she felt pity for the child. It wasn't his fault that he had powers, but they were taking away his life! It was a shame that he was treated this way. No wonder his family was doing this in secret, it was down right shameful!

At that very moment she realized what she had been sent to do.

...

The moment the spell was completed, Star started her mission. Alice took little Jackson in her arms and walked away. The boy's parent (though in her mind they had forfeited that title) stayed, the woman sobbing in the man's arms, the man looking regretfully at the retreating form of the woman and child. Though none present knew it, it would be the last time they saw him.

But, no matter how regretful they looked, Star knew she would never forgive either of them for what they had done to the boy.

Star followed the young woman, keeping in the shadows and staying out of sight. She had long ago found that, even if her powers came from the light, the shadows still welcomed her as a friend and ally.

As she walked Star pondered what the spell had done. Funny thing is the spell hadn't just taken the boy's memory away. It had also changed his appearance. (Though it was likly his original appearance was influenced by his gift) His platinum blond hair was now brunette, his cobalt blue eyes turned honey brown. His fair skin now had a healthy tan. He almost looked like an entirely different person!

Finally, the woman reached her destination. It was a small village, at the edge of the kingdom's territory. The woman opened the door to a small cottage. Star heard Alice greet a man named William inside. In turn he asked her had happened that day.

Alice went on to spin a tale that she had found an orphaned boy on the road, and that she wanted to keep him and raise him as their own. He agreed.


It was 11 years later that the next big, and rather sad, event in Star's life took place.

Star had found work as a governess in the castle of the royal family of Arendelle. She mainly looked and cleaned up after the two princesses: Princess Elsa, the eldest and heir to the throne, and Princess Anna, the younger sister. Both were fun loving, bright, and happy little girls of nine and six.

Elsa was rather clever, capable, and compassionate for a child her age and she could tell the young heir would make a good queen one day.

Anna was sweet, happy, and caring for one so young, and understood more than anyone but her sister and her governess realized. Star knew that, no matter what came her way, Anna would always be able to handle it with a smile on her face. It was probably her best quality.

Being a governess was seen as the proper job for a 16 year old young lady. Not to meantion somewhat prestigious considering she worked for the royal family. When Elsa became the next queen Star could possibly become her handmaiden, one of the several young women who would possibly become some of the future queen's best friends. They needed girls who were young, but not too young. ("Little do they know I'm actually much older than 14 or even 16" Often thought Star) At five years apart she would seem to be the perfect age to begin getting close to the princess, that way when she came of age, she would have a loyal older friend to lean on and advise her is times of distress.

Thus it was appropriate that Star had been the one who discovered Elsa's power.

Star had come into the girls' room one night to read them a bedtime story, like she did every night. Anna was already asleep. But Elsa... The room was filled with ice, the walls covered in frost. Elsa was curled up in a corner, looking terribly scared. Star immediately knew what had happened.

"Don't worry Elsa." she comforted the girl. "You can control it. You don't have to be afraid of your powers, they're beautiful!" she pointed at the walls. "Doesnt the frost look pretty with the light on it? You can control your power Elsa. you just have to respect the power you possess and be careful." Star had assured her.

But troubling times were soon to fall over the castle. One fateful night while the two princesses were playing, Elsa accidentally struck Anna with her powers.

As Elsa held her baby sister in her arms, she saw a lock of Anna's bright red hair turn platinum blonde like her own. The young princess cried out for her parents, terrified for her baby sister, whom she had sworn to protect, and that was now becoming ice beneath her finger-tips.

One thing that night struck Star's frozen mind as peculiar. When King Agnarr and Queen Iduna burst in to the room the King said 'this is getting out of hand!'

Now, why had he said that if he knew nothing of Elsa's powers? But Star quickly pushed that thought out of her mind. She had been hiding behind one of the pillars in the ballroom, as she always did when the princesses played in the dead of night.

When Elsa struck Anna, Star had wanted nothing more than to rush forward and help. but, it seemed her body wouldn't cooperate. Star stood and listened and remained hidden, frozen in her horror.

When the girls' parents arrived and took the 2 young princesses away, Star finally managed to pull herself together, scolded herself for not rushing forward to help, and followed them in silence.

The King and Queen took the 2 princesses to the village she had visited so years ago, when she first saw the boy with the icy gift.

Oh, how she had hated that village at first! Ever since she had seen the troll elder had erased the young boy's memory she had disliked coming back to this place to say the least. She had met with the Equines again, and for the life of them the trolls could not figure out why at first Star was so mad at them. She hadn't told them a thing, and she had refused to say a word more than necessary to the troll elder who had cast the spell.

She had come to realize though that the trolls thought they were helping, and didn't know any better. They knew about as much as the nearby kingdom did when it came to Luna. In the same way she was no longer angry with the parents of the boy. They had only done what they thought best for their son. In a way she felt bad for them, they would never see their son again. Just like her family had never seen her again.

She once again watched with morbid curiosity as the trolls erased Anna's memory. The first time she had actually seen the spell preformed of course, was when Jackson had lost his memory, though she had been so overcome that she hadn't really paid too much attention. Even now her mind turned away, drawn too the past as it so often was. She thought of Jackson and her family. She went to visit him now, every week, on her day off. She had never told him of his past.

Luna, though saddened by the child losing his powers, refused to let Star use her own gift on the boy, thus returning both the his memorys and powers. She knew that Star still didn't have complete control of her powers (and probably never would), and that the consequences could be dangerous.

She watched again as a family was broken apart. Her own family had long ago been broken apart. Her father had been killed the day she turned 16. That was when she had learned what would become her greatest secret. She had left home not long after. She had kept in contact with her 3 younger half sisters until they died. But she never revealed herself to her nieces. So the story of her disappearance had run rampid amongst her people, even now so long after.

As Star pondered this and many other aspects of her life, she watched Pabbi erase Anna's memory of Elsa's power. Then he showed Elsa what was in store for her if she didn't learn to control her powers. In Star's opinion, he could have handled that one Alot better than he did. She knew from one look at Elsa's scared little face that the young girl would never be the same.

In that moment Star realized something. She recognized that scared little face. Well that would explain a lot! It made too much sense to be otherwise! All the pieces of the puzzle fell perfectly into place. The way the King and Queen always radiated with want and regret, the king's odd comment earlier, and the way everything clashed together in an eerie echo of the past...

She wanted to kick herself for not realizing it sooner! What else had she been sent to do that she didn't know about?


It takes me for ever to proof-read this stuff so this story might not be too regular, sorry. I thought you'd all enjoy a bit more of the story. So, here I am, up at midnight, in a closet so I won't bother my older sister (Who I have to share a room with for now). I can't type yet so this takes FOREVER! But enough about my problems. Read Review, I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can. (turns) Well, Allons-y Kiche! time for us to go to bed!
