They tried many times to make her stand on ice, just like they did for me. They also tried many times to make her powers show up. But she was one year old today and not walking, barely saying any words, and had no apparent signs of any power. I was disappointed and somehow happy. The fact that she had no powers meant that I was alone…but also that I was unique and special. She loved it when I made snow fall. She loved it even more when I made icy slides appear out of nowhere. Of course, I would have to be careful and make sure to catch her when she'd get to the bottom, but she was not scared. She trusted me.
The plan for today, was starting with new dresses. Mine was blue, as always, and Anna's was green. This made her skin look like she was glowing with happiness. Her short copper hair had just started being long enough to hold a very tiny ponytail on top of her head. Then, mom and dad brought us to the kitchen, making us choose between a variety of cakes. I had to help since Anna was not really fully aware of what she liked yet, but I still went with something that I knew she would love: Chocolate. All chocolate. Every time Agatha would make her eat breakfast, she would end it with a very small piece of chocolate. Of course, nobody knew about this except me, otherwise the maid would be in trouble. I grew into liking her again. I wouldn't say I forgave her, but I did get over it. After this, we were brought to the ballroom, where a lot of food was piled up in different shapes to make it seem like they were live animals. Anna's eyes were shining with joy. Papa nodded towards me:
-Yes? I ask.
-Wonderland would be beautiful with all these animals standing around, don't you think?
He grinned and Mama smiled too. I raised my hands up and flurries filled up the air. Falling quite fast and soon covering the whole floor. No longer than five minutes later, there was enough snow to play in it. Mama put Anna on her feet but she instantly fell on her behind. She giggled, looking at the snowflakes that were clinging to her. She opened her mouth trying to catch them with her tongue and we all laughed because of the faces she was making. I mean, she knew about my powers since she was born, she and I played a lot in the snow, but it's the first time that she seemed to be really trying to interact with it.
I went to the food table and grabbed an apple to eat it. Papa and Mama kept trying to make Anna stand up but she wouldn't. I was staring at the scene from afar and started chewing slowly until a point where I stopped because of a thought that might be the solution. Suddenly I had an idea. I dropped the apple to the floor and moved closer to Anna but still far enough. I twirled my hands around, making circle motions that were creating a storm in front of me. The snow at my feet got lifted from the floor and started moving in circle, creating a circular snowball that kept growing. Then it dropped heavily on the floor. I repeated the motion three times until I saw the shape of a snowman in front of me. I went back to the table, grabbed a carrot and pulled two twigs that were holding something from the lion food sculpture, which instantly fell as soon as I did. Then after picking up a couple of raisins, I ran towards the snowman. Anna had already started looking at the stacked balls, intrigued. Mama and Papa seemed to wonder what I was trying to do. I placed the elements on his face and body and the sculpture looked just like a human. Well, not really, but the basic shapes of it, as you would do for any regular snowman. I stepped behind it and grabbed the two twigs, moving them up and down as if it was waving to Anna.
-My name is Olaf, and I like warm hugs! I say with a voice that is far from being mine.
That is when, under the admiring and grateful eyes of our parents, Anna got up. That is when she made her first steps.
