The maid lead me to the cathedral where the coronation was being held. People sat in the oak benches watching me walk down the aisle.

I took a deep breath, held my head up high and walked up the small steps to the priest. I looked over to my right to see Anna not there. I frowned. Where was she? I wondered.

Though a few minutes later, before the coronation started, I looked behind me to see Anna run through the doors and came and stood beside me on my right. Though kept her distance. She smiled at me, and I smiled back, being polite.

She was wearing a black bodice with off-the-shoulder dark green sleeves, a black satin laced necklace with a gold pendant of the symbol of Arendelle. She got it from our mother for her tenth birthday. She wore an olive and light green skirt and her strawberry-blonde hair was up in a bun with three green satin ribbons attached to the back of it. I could see the platinum-blonde streak in her hair.

All of a sudden, I heard the choir start to sing and I looked away from Anna. Everyone went silent as the priest grabbed the crown from a soft blue pillow which also contained the two items I had to hold. I looked away from them as he stepped forward and asked me to bend down.

I obeyed and felt him put the crown on my head. I stood up straight and watched him grab the pillow. He held it out in front of me and I went to pick them up, but he stopped me.

"Your majesty, the gloves," he whispered. I looked down at my hands, and started pulling them off.

Once they were both off my hands I set them down on the pillow and grabbed the items, my hands shaking while doing it.

The priest started to speak when I picked them up and I turned to face the crowd. Everyone stood up and I looked over to see Anna with a big smile on her face.

If only she knew, I thought.

He was almost done, but I looked down to see the items start to freeze. I looked back up and held my breath. Conceal don't feel, conceal don't feel, I told myself over and over again.

Then I heard him say, "Queen Elsa of Arendelle," and I quickly set the items down and pulled on my gloves.

I looked back toward the crowd and let the breath I was holding be released. Everyone cheered my name. My new name.

Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
