Young Elsa had a pretty happy life. She had everything anyone could want. Her parents were the king and queen of a kingdom, which made her princess. She lived in a castle and got to wear pretty dresses. She had a sister she loved more than anything. She was the oldest, so she could become Queen one day.

Her life was relatively perfect. But she had one minor flaw: she was born with the power to create ice and snow with her hands. She had ice running through her veins, which gave her beautiful platinum blonde hair, which she liked to wear in a braid. She had beautiful, big ice blue eyes.

Princess Elsa was proud of her gift. No one else she knew had it. No one else in her family had white blonde hair. She was unique. She was special.

Until one day when her gift put her beloved sister in danger.

Elsa and her sister, Anna, were innocently playing in the foyer when the accident happened. Anna had asked Elsa to do the magic, which she admired Elsa for, and an indoor snow day turned into a near death experience for young Anna.

Elsa made tall mounds of snow, which Anna had been jumping from, but Elsa couldn't keep up. In Anna's excitement, she was jumping too fast and accidentally caught a snow-blast to the head. Elsa never intended to hurt her sister.

Their parents came rushing into the room as soon as they heard a commotion. They told Elsa that her powers were "getting out of hand".

King Agnarr and Queen Iduna took their daughters to someone who might help: rock trolls who specialized in magic. They were able to help poor Anna, but they had to erase her memory of her sister's powers.

The trolls told young Elsa that there is beauty in her power, but there is danger too.

In order to keep Elsa's power in check, her parents kept her in her room, forced her to wear gloves, and told her she couldn't play with her sister anymore.

Elsa grew more and more lonely in her room by the day, with no one to talk to and no one to play with, her beloved sister taken from her. She wondered why she was born with these powers. She wondered why she was different. She wondered why she had the power to hurt people.

Queen Iduna walked by princess Elsa's room one day and heard the sound of quiet sobbing. She opened the door and asked, "Elsa, is everything okay?"

Elsa wiped a tear away with the back of her hand, her back turned to her mother. "I'm fine," she answered.

"Are you sure?" Iduna asked, walking towards Elsa. She sat next to Elsa on her bed.

Elsa clung to her mother and cried. The Queen hugged her back. "What's the matter, dear?" Iduna asked, lovingly stroking her daughter's braid.

"I'm scared," Elsa replied. "I'm scared and sad and loney. I miss my sister. I want to know why I'm different. I wish I was never born with these stupid powers!" Elsa slammed her fists on the bed and icicles flew out and hit the wall. Elsa started crying again. She sat with her head buried in her knees.

"Anna knocked on my door today," Elsa said when she calmed down a bit. "That's the fifth time this week. She keeps asking me if I wanna build a snowman." Elsa paused. "What if she finds out? What if she starts hating me?" Elsa started sobbing again. She buried herself into her mother.

"Your sister could never hate you," Iduna assured Elsa, brushing Elsa's bangs to the side.

"Why am I the only one with these powers?" Elsa asked. "Why?"

"Actually, you're not," Elsa's mother said.

"I'm not?" Elsa asked, curious.

"Nope. Have you ever heard of Jack Frost?" Iduna asked her daughter.

"Who's Jack Frost?" Elsa asked, her eyes wide.

"He has ice powers, just like you."

"He does?" Elsa excitedly asked.

"Yep. He runs around having snowball fights and uses his powers to make people happy. And he loves making friends with kids, like you, Elsa."

"Really?"

Iduna nodded.

"I wanna meet Jack Frost!" Elsa said, excitedly jumping up and down on her bed.

"You will, eventually," Queen Iduna said. "Maybe he'll sense that you're just like him, and he'll fly up here and ask you to play with him." Iduna tucked her daughter into bed. "But right now, try to get some sleep."

"I can't wait to meet Jack Frost!" Elsa said as her mother kissed her goodnight. Iduna smiled at Elsa and blew out her candle. "Goodnight," she said.

"Goodnight," Elsa said back.

Iduna closed the door and Elsa slept peacefully for the first time in a week. And if she only turned towards her window, she would have seen Jack Frost watching over her while she slept.
