Since her new nanny had been caring for her Maria's life had changed greatly, she never looked forward to her birthday because it was the same as any other day.

Three months after her tenth birthday something happened which terrified her, when she told madame she told her it was normal and helped her to clean herself up. Maria had always thought when she bled she hurt but she knew she should listen to madame.

One week later everything was normal until madame came in with one of the male servants, Maria knew exactly what was going on and was terrified. When it was done madame told her not to tell anyone. The same thing happened every couple of days until it had been just over a month then Maria started to feel sick. She never told anyone apart from madame.

She knew exactly what was going on and why she felt the way she did. She was pregnant.

During the next seven and a half months madame made sure Maria did not leave her room saying she was ill. Maria knew this was just a cover and was scared of what would happen if her parents ever did find out about her pregnancy. During this time Anna still knocked every day. As the months went on Maria grew increasingly tired and struggled with the most basic of tasks.

It was three weeks before her birthday and two weeks before the day she thought she would give birth, Maria was terrified of both of these days, she was terrified of her birthday because she would be a year older, and she was terrified of her suspected due date because this would be the day her life would change. During the past two weeks madame had hardly left Marias room and only left when she slept or got Maria her food, when madame was not in her room Maria was locked in.

As Maria was sitting on her bed thinking about how life changing her pregnancy will be she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, this scared her, and she knew this shouldn't be happening. Madame noticed her wince and told her to lie down. The next hour felt like years to Maria but she realised it was only an hour when she looked at the clock. When her baby was out of her she had very little strength to do anything so just slept.

When she awoke she was still in her room but when she tried to stand her legs buckled underneath her. She managed to pull herself back into bed and laid back down knowing she would not get anywhere in her state.

Madame came in a few hours later but mentioned nothing about her child, Maria did not question her and just suspected that her child may not have survived the birth, she knew that survival was limited at her age and she knew she struggled with the birth and pregnancy in general. She would always remember her child who she didn't get to name or hold.

Weeks went by and slowly Maria gained strength to move and within three months she was able to do things herself again, after this madame left, Maria also learnt that the servant whose child she had had been dismissed.

The next years went smoothly and Maria's life gained some normality, going to lessons with her tutor and learning many amazing things, other languages and important lessons she would need to know as a princess and a queen.

Two months after Marias thirteenth birthday, Marias parents had to go on a long journey to see her cousins in Corona. Maria knew these cousins were hers biologically because she research her parent's background and knew they had no relative in Corona, these relatives were from her birth parents family.

Her parents said they would be back in two weeks, as she sat in her room she felt a strange feeling as if something was wrong, as the weeks went by she got more worried, her parents should have returned to Arendelle by now but there was no sign. Then Gerda, one of the servants knock on her door. Maria opened the door, the lock had been removed after madame left, and saw the lady had a sad look on her face.

"yes, Gerda?" Maria said, a slight worried tone in her voice.

"your majesty, I have some sad news, it is your parents," Gerda said, tears brimming in her eyes.

'why did Gerda call be 'your majesty' im only a princess,unless' "go on gerda what is it?"

"your parents were caught in a storm, they never made it to Corona, I a sorry your majesty, your parents asked me to inform you that in the instance of their death you would become the monarch when you came of age, it only seems right to be calling you of your title. I am so sorry for your loss."

Maria stood there as the woman left the doorway and walked out along the corridor. As the news sunk in Maria fell against her door closing it and fell to the floor crying in grief.

The funeral was two days later but Maria could not bring herself to go, she sat in her room and prayed in private for her parents, they she heard the familiar knocking.

Knock,knock,knock

"Maria please I know your in there

People are asking where you've been

They say have courage

And im trying to

Im right out here for you

Just let me in

We only have each other

Its just you and me

What are we gonna do

Do you want to build a snowman?"

Maria felt heard Anna fall against the door and lean there, they both sat there in grief and pain of their lost love ones.

Days turned to week and weeks turned to months until a mysterious visitor arrived at the gates of arendelle, and to Marias surprise was allowed in to the castle. This woman had platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. At this point in time Maria had been given a private study and this woman was sent there on the day she arrived.

This woman made Maria nervous.

"your Majesty," she started. "I have come here on a personal matter, I am sorry for your loss of the King and Queen but I now think that it is the right time to come to you about a matter which is of most importance."

"thank you for your sympathy about my parents, but I am more interested in what this matter you speak of is" Maria said trying to sound in control.

"How much did your parent tell you of your birth?"

"they told me very little as it was not something we talked of, not that I know what that is of business of yours."

"did you ever wonder where your powers came from, or did you suspect they were a curse?"

"how do you know of my powers?"

"I know of they because," they this woman lifted her hand and created a snowflake.

Maria stood staring shocked.

"I have the same power, it runs in our family, it is a gift. I am sure you never suspected you were not part of this family, they accepted you with open arms when I could not care for you, I am grateful for that, I just hope you can accept me as your mother, I know this is a lot to take in but…"

Until now Maria had kept silent then. "I knew, I knew they weren't my parents, I heard them talking about me coming as baggage and that is what I am, im cursed that's proved by the fact that you did not want me."

"no, I felt I could not give you the proper care, I would not have made you into the person you are today."

"you are welcomed to stay in the castle, I know you are my mother, you have given me all the proof I need."

Marias Mother came up behind her and gave her a hug, this was the first human contact she had had since she was little, she slowly turned and hugged her back. She enjoyed this contact and felt that her mother was the only person she could have proper contact with.

the years went by as Maria and Elsa, her mothers relationship grew, as did Annas excitement levels, but as Marias sixteenth birthday arrived Anna felt abandoned as everyone's concentration was on Marias Coronation, she just felt like a spare, she would compare herself to all things which are spares, horse shoes, buttons, anything she just hoped people would eventually realise she was not just a spare.

Eventually the coronation was just two days away, whilst Anna was on the highest her excitement could be, Maria was at the very lowest she just felt so lucky to have her mother there with her.

Little did she know that would not help her get through without some problems.
