Daniel picked us up right after school. As we drove Anna went on about our day telling him everything.

Daniel Casted me a sideways glance but said nothing. I leaned my head against the window and let my mind wonder like I always do.

I didn't mess up today. My powers still forced their way through but they seemed subdued almost when I was around Anna's friends.

A frozen drink is not that bad at least I didn't freeze jacks heart or worse.

Jack.. Why did my mind keep working during to him? Sure he was interesting. Yes very with his snow hair and ice eyes. Maybe that's why. I mean his hair can't be natural.

I tugged a piece of my blonde hair. I always thought I had to lightest hair.

No one knew why my hair was blonde. My mother and father were both brunettes And Anna well hers was red which she got from our grandmother. But mine? Blonde.

I sighed remembering how jealous I was of Anna growing up. She had everything, while I had nothing. But I shoved those dark feelings down and glanced at her again.

She smiled at me but there was hesitation in the smile. She was still weary of me being out of my room.

"Elsa? " she asked her voice sounding suddenly so small.

"Yes sister" I answered prompting her to spill whatever it was she was thinking. Knowing her she will always came back to it.

I looked back out the window. Thick trees were slowly thinning as we got closer to reaching the castle that was on the other side of town. People laughed as the basked in the sun their dresses flitting in the light.

I felt my lip quiver. A soft sigh caused me to look up. Anna sat with her arms folded over her stomach as if she were hugging herself. As if her arms were the only thing keeping her together. I noted the bags under her eyes

"Anna" I said slowly. I know I shouldn't pry. It will just make me miss her more. But she looks so.. Unhappy..

"Elsa are you going to leave again? " she asked quietly. This caught me off guard.

Leave again? I've always been in the house, just never around. What did she mean again?

"Sister? " I asked confused. Anna blinked a few times and plastered on a smile that if I hadn't seen her just a few moments ago I would have believed was real.

"Were home. " she said beaming at me. I tilted my head to the side.

This was a part of Anna I've never seen. The lonely part. The one she didn't want anyone else to see. Over the years she must of gotten so good at faking it. She faked a smile and cheered everyone up while she was hurting.

Yet here I am showing pain on my sleeve with empty stares and I force myself but to smile. She does the coolest opposet.

Oh Anna I felt my heart reach out for hers as she walked out the car and disappeared into the large caste gates which clicked shut behind her.

I sighed and set my head against the car door.

What was I thinking? Getting close to her again? It's just going to hurt her worse when I lock myself back in. She's hurting so much..

I don't know how long I sat in the car I just remember my thoughts trailing off into a blur.
