Now A Memory

The memories of yesterday were sweet yet painful. Every time I went to the Ice Palace, for some reason Eve and I always happen to bump into each other. Maybe he lives nearby, I don’t know, but whenever I’m out there he’s also there.

We became friends although we mostly fought. Our meetings became frequent as my anxiety took grew. I always ran off and we would rendezvous behind the store in the woods. He agreed to accompany me somehow. Probably he’s still paranoid about me running off a cliff suddenly.

“Why do you always run away Amelia?” he asks me this one time. We were eighteen at that time. Two years have passed since we first met. It was autumn season and we were sitting under the shade of a tree which had beautiful orange leaves.

I know he’s been really curious about the reason why I’m always out here especially during winter. I guess he was just being thoughtful when he didn’t ask me about it before. This time though, his curiosity reached its peak. I too felt that I couldn’t hide my secret any longer from him.

Since the day we met, my powers have grown drastically. Now they’re always there but as far as I’m concerned I can control them pretty well. But even so, the fear of one day not being able to control them still haunted me.

“Would you follow me somewhere?” I asked. He looked confused.

“Me? Follow you? If you don’t remember you’re not exactly the type to know your way around.” He says with a smile. In the years that we’ve been together Eve has been smiling a lot more compared to when we first met. He really is cute.

I chuckle and sigh.

“Well, there’s this one place that I always go to. It’s the only place that I can go to without getting lost or getting chased down by wolves. Like…there’s a map ingrained in my mind towards that place.” I say.

He just stares.

“A map ingrained in your mind.” He looks at the grass as if in deep thought.

“Nope. Still not going.” He says playfully and lay on the grass. He closes his eyes and pretends to sleep. I was a bit annoyed but a mischievous smile surfaces on my face.

He doesn’t need to go to the Ice Palace for me to show him.

I stood up and walked a few steps away from Eve. I cupped my two hands and concentrated. Soon enough I was holding a snow ball. I raised my hand, aimed and fired! Yep, straight to the side of the stomach.

Eve jolted up and looked around wondering what hit him. I laugh at his reaction.

“Wh-what was that? Is this…snow?” he says as he grabs a handful of the formless snow.

“It’s too early for snow. Where’d you get this?” he adds and stands up. I just stand there and smile after giggling.

“I make and throw snow balls.” I say. “What?” he asks.

“You asked me why I always ran away.” I reply. “Okay. Give me your hand.” He says and walks towards me. He thinks I’m going crazy again and might go run off a cliff. Seriously, the running off the cliff thing never happened again yet he’s still wary that I might do it.

“Nope.” I say and walk backwards.

“Come on Mia. It’s for your own good.” He says and kept on walking towards me.

Just before he got his hands on mine I made a snow ball shoot up into the air and when it got high enough it burst like fireworks. Snowflakes floated down around us.

“What the…” I know what I did could jeopardize our whole friendship. He might think I’m too weird or that I’m a witch but there’s no turning back now. What I’ve done is an established fact. I could only wait for a reaction behind the smile that I’m showing.

He looked around, had his hands out and let the flakes rest on his palms. I can see he was amazed, but feelings can’t be interpreted unless they’re told about.

“This is…” he says and finally looks at me.

“…unbelievable. How did you do that?” he asks with a very wide smile on his face.

I chuckle a bit and got myself to look back at him.

“Will you follow me now?” all I got from him was a nod. The next thing I know we were already at the foot of the Ice Palace.

He looks so cute looking at everything in awe. Maybe it was around this time that I felt something for him. Despite us fighting often and aside from being funny he’s actually really kind and caring in the inside. What’s more is he’s the first person to ever know my secret. He was the only person until Jack Frost came.

He wasn’t grossed out. He didn’t avoid me, rather than hate me and judge me he stood by my side, laughed with me, encouraged me, understood me. I really appreciated it his kind gestures

If only the whole of Arendelle would be like him. I know they respect Queen Elsa so much but I’m afraid that once they find out, they’ll be anxious of me, though I’m not as strong as Queen Elsa, I’ll still gain that stereotype of possibly freezing the whole of Arendelle

Which is why in the next few months my monthly “running away” stint became more frequent. It felt good to be me around at least one person. I enjoyed his company so much that I knew my feelings for him were growing.

A year later though, just when I thought things were going well between us, things changed when he suddenly disappeared. From then on, even though I’ve waited for him at our usual place for days, I never saw him again.
