Elsa's P.O.V.

"Elsa?" I heard Anna's voice through the wooden door. It seemed like eternity since I last heard her. But now, it felt different. She seemed so far from me. Distant. I sat down in front of the door and listened to her plea for me to come out. Then came a pattern of five rhythmic knocks. "Do you wanna build a snowman? Come on let's go and play! I never see you anymore, come out the door. It's like you've gone away!" she sang. Of course I wanted to build a snowman. But I had to stay locked up inside for the best. Then came again, "Do you wanna build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowman."

"Go away, Anna," I said sadly, tears welling up in my eyes. I hated to shoo her away, but it was my only option.

"Okay, bye," she replied and walked away.

I looked out my window at the kids playing. I just wanted to be like them. Normal and without a care in the world. Suddenly, I felt the ice freezing the cement below my hands and immediately pulled my hands away. Ice had formed on the lining of the window. "Papa!" I called. I needed help fast. He rushed into my room and hurried to me.

He examined what I had done and said, "Wait here." He left the room and I made my way to the fireplace. I was getting worried. What if I never learned how to control my powers? What if I would have to hide from everyone forever? Papa came back with a pair of sky blue gloves. He slipped them on and held my hands in his. "The gloves will help. See? Conceal it."

"Don't feel it."

"Don't let it show."
