Anna wasn't quite sure how long she was out for, but when she came to, she noticed that she was on a small cot. Her head was hurting beyond compare to anything she had experienced before. As she opened her eyes, she realized it was difficult to focus on any one thing.

She could make out a small shape huddled at the opposite corner of the room.

"Elsa?" she whispered tentatively, making a move to swing her feet off the bed.

"Don't!" came a cry from the huddled figure as though it were a caustic sting.

Anna's eyes finally adjusted to her settings. She found herself in a small shack no bigger than her dorm room with minimal furniture. And there she was, Elsa, in the corner of the room, her shoulders slumped forward in defeat.

"Elsa, what happened?" she asked in a quiet voice, not wanting to startle her roommate. "Where are we?"

"Anna, just stay away, please," the older girl pleaded. "Just don't come near me. I can hurt you again."

"Elsa…" Anna said with a pained look on her face. "Tell me what's going on. I want to help you. Please, let me help." She stood up, almost falling back down from the vertigo and nausea that swept over her, but she managed to stay standing.

Elsa's eyes carried a misery that Anna was unable to decipher. Just what was going on here?

Anna took a step forward when pain immediately hit her, causing her to crumble to the floor. Elsa, as though she were awakened from a nightmare, rushed forward. They were beginning to control her, and she couldn't fight them off. The inner demons were becoming more powerful.

But, why now? Nothing had happened since…

She helped the younger girl back on to the bed, helping her lay back down.

"Here, eat this, it'll help," she said, handing Anna a piece of chocolate.

Anna looked at her skeptically, but Elsa smiled wanly, "Just eat it."

"So…" Anna began.

"So…" Elsa replied.

"Where are we?"

"It's…uh, my 'treehouse' if you will. This is the one place in the school I go to when I just want to get away from things. My parents, Hans, everyone…"

"Yet, you let me come in?" Anna asked, perplexed.

"It was nearby to…you know," she nodded outside.

"Right."

The two sat in silence for a few moments.

"You want…"

"I…"

The two stared at each other, before silently laughing. Elsa was surprised by the warm mirth in Anna's eyes. For someone who had just gone through what she had…This was big. But Elsa's frown deepened. The damage was only surface level. Her power had so much more. Anna could have died had she been hit by the full blast of the shock.

But she would have to come clean. She may have only known Anna for two days, but she had to know.

"Anna," she started, slightly worried about her reception, "About earlier."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, Elsa. I respect your decision," the other girl said softly.

"No!" Elsa was shocked by her own outburst, "I mean no. I need to tell you now. It started when I was just four. I had no idea what was going on. I was playing with someone, but I don't remember who. Everything about the incident has been so tightly locked away in my memory that the details are starting to fade. I just remember that the girl was close to me, my best friend. We were playing, but I got mad at her. I pushed her. Just a small, innocent push when it just all happened. She fell down, her color fading quickly as the blood left her face. I screamed for help, but it was too late. By the time my parents came around, the girl was gone. Dead. My parents took her away that night. I assume to her parents, but she…I…"

"Elsa..."

"No, I have to tell you. I was never myself any more. I locked myself away in my room, refusing to leave the house. My parents didn't question me. It was like I was never there. We rarely saw each other after that. And then, they sent me to Arendelle boarding school. I never included myself in their groups, yet they all wanted to get to know me. The closer they got, the more I shut them out, afraid that I would repeat what happened with that girl. And last year, freshman year, I came to Arendelle University. I knew about this cottage as my great-great-great-grandfather started this school. I used to come here as a child before the incident. It was a safe haven. I come here every time I lose my temper so that the others won't have to see. You see, Anna, I'm alone," she smiled bitterly

"What about Hans?" Anna asked.

"I've known Hans since boarding school. At first, I thought we could be friends, but I learned his true nature. He's a world class jerk. We're engaged as you probably know, but I hate him. No understanding at all. And if I tell him, who knows what he'll do to me."

"Can you…control it?" Anna asked, not trying to be insensitive.

Elsa paled a little, "It hasn't happened since that night. I don't know why…with you? Just suddenly. I wasn't even mad…I—I…"

And then, like a dam had burst internally, heartfelt sobs came out.

"I've tried. I've tried so hard. But I can't control them. When it happened last time, my legs, my arms…nothing. It was like I was an observer of my own body. I watched in horror as I shoved the girl. Even before I screamed for help, I just stood there. That's why it was too late for me to help her. I was secretly pleased. Happy that she was hurt, but it wasn't me. It was someone else. I was just a bystander. And this time…this time too…I—I couldn't."

"Elsa, please, don't."

"Anna, I could have killed you. I don't know what happened this time. It was even more sadistic, but something broke in me. It took all my willpower to break free to help you."

"How did you do it this time?"

"I wasn't angry like last time, so the effect wasn't as severe. It's when I'm really infuriated with people that I lose myself. The powers, they've only happened twice, but the anger…It's constant. It's always there, in the background. Sometimes, I can ignore it. Otherwise, it's just there, waiting to erupt."

"Let me help," Anna said suddenly.

"How? There's nothing you can do."

"Just please let me help."

Elsa smiled sadly, "Well, you can start by not telling anyone. Anna, no one can know. No one. If this gets out."

Elsa, relax," she soothed the older girl. "I would never dream of telling anyone.

This time, Elsa smiled for real, "Alright, let's get you back to orientation before anyone gets you in trouble. I can pull a few strings for you." She winked.

Anna simply grinned. This could work. This could work.
