I'm not alone.

The mantra repeats itself in my desolate mind, over and over again, drawing out every syllable, making my whole body pulse at just the thought. I pick my new friend from the floor and as I gently place her fragile little body on the bed and rest her head on the pillow I hear her mutter something.

"Don't go..."

It was the weakest, and quite frankly, the saddest little voice I have ever heard, but it held so much power. So much pain and suffering had been endured by this girl and you could feel it radiate off from those two, measly little words. She was just like me. She essentially died, being in this room all her life, cut off and isolated, especially from her own sister. I felt a spiritual connection with this girl, though I would never admit to this early on, even if I thought that she felt this connection too. We were far too alike, and that's honestly what I need. That's what she needs.

"Of course I will, don't worry," I whisper as I pull the sheets up to her shoulder.

I stare at her for a moment, drawing in, for one last time, the beauty of her face. So peaceful and quiet. It's hard to believe that it's holding back close to fifteen years of heart wrenching pain, and self destruction. I take a deep breath as I slide down next to her bed and rest on the floor. The stone presses against my lower back, making me think of what it has seen, what it has experienced from her all this time. I look up to my left and see the door to the outside world. It would have been so large, so ominous to a six, or ten year old.

You will teach her to control her powers. You have got to Jack.

I rest my staff on the floor, and close my eyes. I'm lulled to sleep by the sweet, soft and consistent breathing of the girl. Of Elsa.

I've been awake for maybe half an hour now, but I haven't even moved an inch. I've just stayed next to the bed on the floor, listening to Elsa sleep. Though there wasn't much to listen to, it gave me peace. Soon I stand up and grab my staff. As I walk out the window, I give one last glance to the bed and smile.

As soon as I'm out the window I feel the morning breeze and see the few speckled dots of people in the town, Bustling, and preparing for the regular work day. I gently glide down to the castle courtyard and land on the cobblestone. Much less inviting than the stone in Elsa's room. I look around and soon start heading for the main entrance to the castle.

The doors fly open with several guards and a blonde burly fellow waltzing out. I step aside and let them pass, joking and slapping each other's backs. I know they can pass through me, but I still move because it's common courtesy. A reindeer comes out of, what seems to be, stables. The blonde man tosses one last joke at the guards as he sits on the sled, and waits for the main gates to be opened. Soon he's off and the castle returns to it's previous, quiet demeanor.

That must've been Kristoff. Elsa mentioned him yesterday. Maybe that means her sister is somewhere nearby...

As if on cue, a quirky, amber haired girl walks out of the still open front door. I laugh at her giddiness, her already energetic attitude, considering the time it was.

"Hey Anna! What about breakfast?!"

What the? A snowman, running, talking and laughing? Right in front of me? How is that....

Why do I even act surprised anymore. I need to remember the fact that there is someone, other than me, with ice powers. I divert my attention from the ramblings of the snowman about what was being served, to the inside of the castle. I enter into a new realm. A realm with marble and mahogany floors, high vaulted ceilings and plush furniture. Amazing.
