A/N: Sorry that I couldn't update yesterday. I had my lil cuz come over and I wasn't allowed on my computer.
Chapter 3: The Truth
Elsa sighed and slowly walked over to the couch. She gathered the books and placed them on the floor. Waving her hand, she created chairs for everyone and sat on the couch; beckoning them over. Nicole sat on the right side if her mother while Jack sat on her left. Ember and the Guardians sat in the ice chairs.
"Well, it started when Anna and I were kids." Elsa started, "Anna wanted to play in the ballroom using my powers. I created pillars as she jumped, but…"
Elsa stopped and took a shaky breath, "She went too fast and I couldn't keep up. I tried to catch her, but instead I hit her in the head with my magic and she fell to the floor; ice cold."
She was shaking now and Jack allowed her to rest her head on his chest. Elsa closed her eyes for a moment before continuing, "I yelled for our parents and our father managed to take us to some trolls. Their leader saved Anna, but with a price. He took all her memories of my powers and replaced them with normal ones."
"I had to keep my powers hidden from Anna; from everyone. Our father gave me magic gloves that kept the power at bay, but I had to be in my room the whole time. The gates were closed and the staff was reduced. I was told to 'conceal, don't feel' for half my life. Everyday Anna would knock on my door, asking if I wanted to build a snowman." Elsa's voice cracked, "And I had to say no every time."
"When I was sixteen, our parents went overseas and… and they never came back. I didn't even go out for their funeral." She took a sharp intake of breath, "Since I was the oldest, I was supposed to take up the throne, which meant me being around people. When I was twenty one, I was announced Queen of Arendelle, but the after party didn't go so well. Anna met this guy named Hans, and she was convinced they were in true love."
"They asked for my blessing of marriage and I said no. Anna, in retaliation, accidently took off my glove. That night my powers were revealed and everyone was scared of me. I ran here and made my ice palace so I could be alone, but of course Anna didn't want that. She is so stubborn sometimes. Anna made it all the way up to this palace to get me to come down. She shouldn't have. I ended up freezing Arendelle over in my escape, and when Anna told me what I had done…" Tears began to flow down her face and freeze. Elsa started to shake uncontrollably and Jack wrapped an arm around her.
She took a deep breath, "When she told me that I had frozen over Arendelle, I got out of control and sent out a blast of magic that accidently froze her heart. A man rushed up to take her out. That man was Kristoff. Anna struggled to stay, but I made Marshmallow to throw them out. Later Hans and a group of men came up to get me to unfreeze Arendelle, but I couldn't… I didn't know how. They took me back to Arendelle and put me in a jail cell. I managed to escape, but Hans found me and told me…" Elsa let out a sob, "He told me I had killed Anna by freezing her heart."
Her expression soon turned into one of hatred and clenched her fists, "It turns out that I hadn't killed her… yet. Hans was playing us all along so he could rule over Arendelle. He raised his sword when my back was turned and attempted to kill me. I heard a shattering and I turned around to see Anna frozen… I froze her and she saved me anyways. Then I learned how to control my powers. I unfroze Anna and Arendelle."
Elsa sat up and took Nicole's hand, "Don't make the same mistakes I did, and never trust a prince from the Southern Isles. No matter how charming."
A/N: Ok, sorry for the short chappy, but I couldn't think of what else to put in here. Plus, I have one that was already typed in advance because I had an idea so that won't take long to update. Hope you guys enjoyed!
