The Secret of the Power-Book 1 of Frozen Secrets

Chapter 1 A Frozen Heart

My sister, Anna, comes running into my office, where I am trying to focus on an important letter to Weselton.

"Elsa, it is sweltering out today, you promised to help!!" Exclaimed Anna, who appeared to be sweating.

"Anna, you know as well as I do about why this letter is so important, please, leave me alone so I can finish this letter."

"Elsa, please, you've been working on that all day! Why don't you give it a break and," Anna pauses. "cool it down?" She finishes.

"Anna, I will when I have time!" I say it a little to harshly, and she looks offended. "I-I didn't mean it that way, now, if you're hot, why don't you go make an ice run with Kristoff up the North Mountain, the citizens will be hot too, and will be in need of ice." Anna seems to perk up.

"Oh, ok, but you owe me big!" She says over her shoulder as she goes running out to go get ready.

I try to get my mind back on my letter, but come to think of it, I am a bit on the hot side as well. I sigh, put down my quill, and go to my bedroom. Yes, the door is closed. I may as well practice my magic until Anna gets back. A rush of adrenaline comes on as I think about using my magic. I still feel slightly self-conscious about using it after having to hide it for so long, and I am not fully in control, although I am not completely out of control.

The feeling of a grin spreads across my face, this is what I do best-magic! I raise my hands, and feel a chill of excitement go down my spine. Some simple ice sculptures will be perfect to start off. Knowing my objective, I feel my power coming alive, it rushes through every bone in my body, it is me, the real me, the queen of the ice and snow!

Ice rushes out of my hands, creating an ice sculpture of Anna, I touch the sculpture, and it is flawless. I want to create one of me, so, again, ice rushes out of my hand, creating a sculpture of me. Flawless. Hmmmm... "What should I make next?" Kristoff. Hans. Sven. Olaf. Ideas are coming! I make them, and each is flawless.

A knock on my door interrupts my thoughts, and my fun. I raise my hands to the ceiling, bring them next to each other, and the ice rises with my hands, forms a snowflake in the air, and quickly, I bring my hands outwards towards the walls, and the giant snowflake in the air spreads apart towards the walls, and disappears.

"Who is it?" I call.

"It is Kai, ma'am" Says a servant, whose voice is muffled from the other side of the door.

"Oh, yes, Kai, come in"

The door opens and Kai walks in. "I am sorry if I am disturbing your personal business..."

I cut him off "Oh, no, it is quite alright, and besides, I am in need of company. So, what is it?" I ask, abruptly changing the topic.

He clears his throat, "The people are getting angry, they are too hot, and there is not enough ice for them all." He explains.

"Anna and Kristoff are making an ice run right now and..." Kai cuts me off.

"Still though, one sleigh of ice is not enough for everyone!"

"Oohh, alright." My tone drops as I speak. "Tell the people I will be right out." My tone is up again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kai says.

"You're welcome. Now, go tell them, staff here included." Kai nods, and walks out of my room.

A sigh escapes me, so much for private time. I take a breath, and walk into the hall, where I hear the heels of my shoes clicking on the floor in the echoey hall. I arrive out in the courtyard, where many hot citizens are waiting, many are fanning themselves with their hands, pieces of paper, and other objects. Wow, it is REALLY hot out!

"Are you ready!!!" I yell to the gathered people. My call is met with loud cheers from the people.

I stomp my foot on the ground, and a sheet of ice spreads outwards, then, lovely ice pillars form around the edges of the ice rink. I wave my left arm upward, and the fountain to the left of me becomes ice, and the tips of the fountain become fancy, delicate, swirls. I raise my right arm, and the same thing happens to the fountain to the right of me. I move my hands around each other, creating a snowball, it hovers between my hands, which I am no longer moving around each other. I move my hands straight up, and the snowball goes flying up into the air, and explodes, creating a snowfall, and the snow is confined to where the ice is.

People start cheering and clapping for me. They start putting on ice skates they brought, knowing what I would do. Soon, people are gliding around on the ice, making snowmen, having snowball fights, and other activities they only get to do in the winter.

It makes me happy to know that the people like my power, rather than fear it, like they did when they found out.

"Excuse me!" A little voice says. When I look down, I see a little girl who can be no more than 6.

"Elsa.." A woman who must be her mother runs up and interrupts her.

In a whisper, she pulls her daughter to a bit away from me, but I hear her anyway, "How dare you not call her by her title, Queen Elsa! This is VERY disrespectful, and so, we will go home right now, after you apologize to the queen, and see what father has to say about it!" The girl looks like she is about to cry.

She walks over to me, and says, "I'm sorry for not calling you Queen Elsa." Her voice is shaking, like she was trying to hold back tears.

"Is everything ok?" I ask her.

"Mommy is mad because I called you Elsa instead of Queen Elsa, and now we are going home and I will get in trouble." A single tear escapes her eye, and she wipes it away in the hope I don't see it.

"It's ok, I don't mind if you call me Elsa."

She sniffs. "Really? So I don't get in trouble or go home now?" Her tone is getting happier.

"Yes" I respond. "Now, hold out your hands."

Obediently she does, but then asks, "Why?"

"You'll see." Ice rushes from my hand to form a little sculpture of her and me looking all smiley at each other, and I am wearing my ice dress, which I am not wearing right now, as I just was working.

Her face lights up with happiness. "Thank you thank you thank you Elsa! I love it!" She curtsies to me, then runs up to her mother and shows her my ice sculpture.

When my gaze wanders from them, there are so many happy people before me, and it is all because of me, and this is certainly something I never expected to happen my whole life.
