When Elsa first met Jack Frost, she was eight. For two years, he was her best friend. He was there when she needed him, distracted her when Anna pleaded her to let her in, and made her almost forget that she was isolated in her room. He was always there when her power was out of control, to listen to her fears and give them little importance. Elsa was gradually losing her resistance to use her magic, and trusted Jack more than she had ever trusted anyone.
Suddenly, and with no apparent reason, one night he was gone. Elsa called him again and again, without losing hope. When a week was over, she had lost it. She cried over it, and during that week, her powers got stronger and stronger. She yelled at her parents to stay away from her, and felt more alone and rejected that have ever felt. Anna had refused to keep on trying to make her sister speak or show herself. The fear she had almost eliminated, the memories of the troll telling her she would get dangerous came at her again. She learned that concealing her emotions helped to control her power, but the fear was always there, so it was impossible to control them. Her parents were desperate to see her daughter happy but nothing worked with her. She felt alone, and could never understand why Jack had left her.
Years passed. When she was eighteen, her parents set sail to a mysterious land for commercial reasons (as they told her), but died in the sea during a great storm. If Elsa thought it couldn't get worse, there was the evidence. Elsa suffered alone, knowing that her powers were the lone reason for everything, and blamed herself for Jack's absence.
THREE YEARS LATER
Elsa woke up early in the morning. It was her coronation day, the day in which she would be proclaimed Queen of Arendelle. No one in the kingdom had ever known about her powers. One wrong move and everyone would know. It was agony to wait knowing that she was going to be seen by a lot of people she never had seen before, and tested in front of them all. She had to hold the scepter with bare hands, which always ended with her freezing it in nerves.
Anyway, she was going to see her sister for the first time in, like, a lot of years. Elsa knew she wouldn't remember anything of her powers, but was quite nervous for her reaction when seeing her again. She dressed up and stared at her reflection in the mirror.
-Conceal, don't feel. Don't let it show.-she said, in a very low voice, trying to calm herself down.
She turned to the door, not feeling ready at all. But Arendelle needed a queen, and that was her… Walking in what she considered a relaxed pace, she reached the door and nervously glared at the servants.
-Tell the guards to open up the gates. - They immediately moved, and she was escorted to the throne room. She waited in a room beside it, getting more and more nervous as she heard people filling the throne room. At last, the moment came. Elsa walked down all the way to the throne, feeling watched and hearing whispers. Her hands, covered up in the globes, started shaking. The pastor started to talk about the monarchy and the kingdom. Then, he finally took the tiara of a cushion, and she swore over it. He put it on her head and then…
The scepter and the golden globe were handed to her, and when she was going to take them, the pastor coughed and mumbled:
-Your Majesty…the globes.
Elsa felt the panic but cooled off, as it was easier to control her powers when she wasn't afraid. She took them off and took the objects in a rush, facing the crowd. They all stood up. Elsa could hear the pastor talking but couldn't listen, tried not to look down to her hands, knowing that they were freezing until…
-…Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
-Long live the queen!-the crowd yelled.
She quickly turned around, abandoned the objects and put on the globes again. In applauses, she was accompanied by her new counselors to the ball room, in where she was presented as the Queen of Arendelle. She stared at the crowd, listening to the music and watching them dance, and relaxed a little more.
-Princess Anna of Arendelle!
There she was! She still had the dumbness in her moves, and that awkward behavior that always raised a smile in everybody. She had replaced the braids for a sophisticated bun that suited her pretty well. A warm feeling touched Elsa's heart when she saw her sister. Anna was clearly acting nervously. The butler kind of made her stand up close to Elsa, and she was awkwardly looking at the floor. Elsa wondered if she blamed her for shutting her out for all of those years.
-Hi.-she said, friendly.
Anna rose her head, in surprise.
-Hi… Hi me?-she asked. Elsa nodded, and she shrugged.-Um…eh…hi.
-This is wonderful.-Elsa really felt that, seeing people have fun for the first time in many years too.
-I know!-Anna quickly came up, enthusiastically turning to her sister.
-And what is that smell…?-they both smelled the air and said at the same time: -Chocolate!
They giggled. Elsa was feeling more and more comfortable. A little jumpy man was introduced to them as the Duke of Weselton, and when she was asked to dance, she offered her sister instead, and had a blast watching Anna trying to dance with that weird man. When she was back, she sent Elsa a murdering look.
-Don't ever do that again.-she warned, and Elsa smiled again.
-That was fun.-she reckoned.
-I wish this happened everyday…-Anna sighed.
-Me too…-but she frowned, remembering her powers.-But it can't be.
-Why?-Anna faced her sister, pleading.- This castle has been isolated for years! I mean, they could just come and…!
-I said no, Anna! - she said, nervously getting away from her sister, afraid of getting out of control. Her sister looked at her in shock, and suddenly, everything was exactly as it was all of those years. She walked away into the dancing crowd, and Elsa felt terrible. Almost immediately she was introduced to many ambassadors, and managed them in a cold polite manner. Anna returned an hour ago, hanging in a handsome man's arm.
