Inside a room an 8 year old girl with golden blonde hair is sleeping peacefully. Another small girl pokes her head up and climbs onto her bed.
"Elsa" She says shaking her sister "Wake up, Wake up, Wake up!"
"Anna, go back to sleep," Elsa groans. Anna sighs
"I just can't. The sky's awake, so I'm awake, so we have to play"
"Go play by yourself" Elsa says and pushes Anna off the bed. Anna pouts for a minute, before gasping in excitement and climbing back onto the bed.
"Do you want to build a sandman" she says slyly. Elsa smiles and the two race down the stairs.
"Come on, Come on, Come on," Anna says.
"Shhh" Elsa whispers
The both burst into the ball room giggling. "Do the magic, do the magic" Anna demands.
Elsa creates a ball on fire in her hands which shoots up in the air and creates a shower of sparks.
"This is amazing" Anna yells
"Watch this!" Elsa says excitedly. She stomps her foot on the ground and creates a layer of sand. She then heats it up, forming slippery glass on the floor. She then recreates more sand and they build a man made out of sand.
"Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs" Elsa says pretending to by the sandman.
"I love you, Olaf!" Anna says and she runs over and hugs him. Elsa then pushes Anna and Olaf across the slippery glass, propelled by her fire magic.
They slide down piles of sand and Anna begins to jump from sand pile to sand pile.
"Catch me!" she cries
"Hang on" Elsa says. Anna jumps higher and faster.
"Again!" She says
"Wait!" Elsa says, trying to keep up with her. "Slow down" Elsa slips on the glass and misfires, hitting Anna with her fire magic. Anna rolls down a sand pile motionless. Elsa runs to her.
"Anna" she says and cradles her head in her lap. A strand of Annas hair turns black. "Momma, Poppa" Elsa cries "You're ok, Anna. I got you." The door the the ball room bursts open and two people run in.
"Elsa, what have you done" He father says "This is getting out of hand."
"It was an accident. I'm sorry, Anna"
Her mother picks Anna up "She's feverish!"
"I know where we have to go" The King says
They head out on two horses, Elsa leaving a burnt path behind her. It catches the attention of the small boy, with the mule, Sven and a mine cart. "Fire" He says incredulously and follows the two horses.
They arrive in a small clearing and the King calls "Please help. My daughter." Stones begin to roll toward them and they open up to reveal trolls. One steps forward.
"Your Majesty." He says. He grabs Elsa's hand "Born with the powers or cursed?"
"Born." The King says "And they're getting stronger." The troll beacons to Anna and the Queens kneels down. He feels Anna's forehead.
"You are lucky it wasn't her heart." He says "The Heart is not so easily changed. But, the head can be persuaded."
"Do what you must."
"I recommended that we remove all magic, even memories of magic, to be safe. But don't worry, the fun will stay. She will be ok"
"But she won't remember I have powers" Elsa says timidly
"It's for the best" Her father says
"Listen to me, Elsa" The troll says "You power will only grow. There is beauty in it, but also great danger." Elsa gasps "You must learn to control it, Fear will be your enemy." Elsa burris her face in her mothers dress.
"No." Says her Father "We'll protect her. She'll learn to control it I'm sure. Until then we'll lock the gates and reduce the staff. We will limit her contact with people and keep her powers hidden from everyone, including Anna"
3 days later Elsa is moved to a new room. Anna is hurt and doesn't understand why her sister has changed rooms. She knocks on Elsa's new door and begins to sing.
"Elsa?
Do you want to build a Sandman?
Or go and play down by the beach
I never see you any more
Come out the door
You just so out of reach
We used to be best buddies
and now we're not.
I wish you would tell me why"
Do you want to build a sandman
It doesn't have to be a sandman"
"Go away Anna"
"Ok bye"
5 year old Anna leaves. Elsa walks away from the door and looks out the window. Her hands rest on the windowsill and it bursts into flames leaving the windowsill smoking and blackened.
"I can't control it" Elsa cries to her father.
"Here" he says handing her a pair of red gloves. "The gloves will help. Remember conceal, don't feel-"
"Don't let it show" Elsa finishes
"Good girl"
Years later a 9 year old Anna knocks on her door.
" Do you want to build a Sandman?
Or ride our bikes around the hall.
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to the pictures on the wall.
(Hang in there Joan)
It gets a little lonely all these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by"
Anna sits in front of a grandfather clock watching the pendulum swing back and forth.
"Tick, tock. Tick, tock."
12 year old Elsa stands in front of a blacken corner of the room, Smoke still issuing from it.
"It's getting stronger. I can't control it" She tells her worried parents. They draw nearer to comfort her but she flinches away from them.
"I don't wanna hurt you"
Some time later, the King and Queen are saying goodbye to 15 year old Anna and 18 year old Elsa.
"Do you have to go" She says timidly.
"You'll be fine Elsa" He father says reassuringly.
"See you in a few weeks" Anna says as their parents board a ship, leaving for Corona. The never reached Corona though and Anna and Elsa received a letter a month later, confirming their parents death.
After the funeral, Anna approaches Elsa's door and knocks of last time.
"Elsa?" She says
"Please I know you in there
People are asking where you've been
They say have courage and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you
Just let me in.
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do" Anna slides down the door until she sitting down.
"Do you wanna build a sandman?"
On Elsa's side of the door, she too was sitting and leaning against the door. The room was almost completely burned, with ashes floating in the air.
