A/N: This chapter was written by the amazing chinaluv, my co-writer for the story.
"Father…" I let out, I don't really know what to say.
"No, Elsa. You know what could have happened. Anna almost saw you, do you know how dangerous that could have been?" I look down quietly, I don't want my father to see how unashamed I am. I wanted to run, to let everything go. Just once, I wish he would understand.
"How bad could that have been?" I mumble out and immediately regret it.
"You know how dangerous you can be Elsa. You know why you must stay in the castle at all times." I sight at the though.
"I know, father, I must stay inside. But why can't I at least talk to Anna? I promise I won't…" I'm stopped, his hand silencing me.
"You know why you can't do that. My dear Elsa, I'm only doing this for your safety. I don't you to get hurt." How would I get hurt? I can control myself.
"I know. I'm sorry father. I just…" Again he stops me.
"I know Elsa, but think about it this way. You can't hurt anyone in here. You're safe here."
"Yeah, safe." I echo out.
"Conceal." He starts and I know I have to finish.
"Don't feel. Don't let it show." I finish for him. I wish I didn't have to, but I know I have to.
"That's my girl. Now, I will see you later, my little princess." Ugh, not that line again. At least he didn't notice my shoulder.
"I'm 19(you can change that if you want). I'm not a child, not anymore." I let out with a sigh as he shuts the door behind him. And just like that, I'm alone. Again. No one to talk to. Nothing to do. Except…. No… I can't…. Yes. I. Can.
And with that, I take off my blue gloves. For years these gloves have kept me hidden from the world. Away from life itself. And for the first time in forever, I can let it go, at least just a little bit.
The wind blows around me. The ice cascades from my palms. I am free. And with a burst through the door, I am caught. Trapped once more in a cell, like a caged wild animal.
"Elsa what is the meaning of this?" My father asks and before I can say anything he grabs the blue gloves and quickly puts them on my hands. I'm stunned, not sure of what to say.
"I… I'm sorry father…" I want to start to cry but I conceal it. I didn't want to hold it in, but I had to. Not for my sake but for the sake of control.
"Elsa… This can't keep happening. You need to,"
"Conceal it, I know father. I'm sorry. It won't happen again, I promise." I give him a small smile and he seems satisfied enough because he leaves without saying anything more. As he closes the door I see my sister's face full of worry and curiosity. How I would love to run out of my room and hug her, tell her everything will be okay, but I can't. I have to conceal myself from the world.
Knock knock naknock knock.
"Elsa? Do you want to build a snowman?" I… I can't break her heart again… But I know I have to… Oh Anna… Why do you make this so hard on me? Why can't I just say yes?
"Go away Anna…." My voice leaks out before I can stop myself. I really am ice. Cold. See through. Frozen.
I can't keep it in anymore. If I don't unleash it, it will consume me.
I run. Run past all the guards. They don't notice me.
I run straight to the mountain. I feel free again. I run. And then, of course, I fall, slamming my injured shoulder into the frozen ground. It screams with pain, but I don't cry out. Once more I conceal it. I don't bother fighting it anymore. I feel cold, for once. I stand tall though and take a step, falling. And surprisingly, someone catches me.
"Hey, are you okay?" Before I can answer, pain erupts in me, and I black out, letting the darkness take over.
