*hey guys! So just in case you're wondering, I wasn't really sure how to start this chapter, so I hope it's okay! Thanks!*

About a week has passed since Elsa's parents left on their trip. An unfortunate storm had taken place, and Elsa's parents had been lost in it. They arranged a funeral, but she didn't go; she didn't want to hurt anyone. Her powers were getting much stronger, but she was becoming more and more afraid of them. I had tried everything, but Elsa would not let go of her fear.

Tomorrow will be the coronation. Elsa is still practicing without her gloves. I sit down next to her to watch her, but to be honest, I had been bored out of my mind all week. Of course I felt bad for Elsa, but she was letting her fears get the better of her, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't make her stop.

"Okay Elsa, you can do it this time! Just breathe, and remember: you control the ice, the ice doesn't control you." I watched her try again, but the ice crept around the things she was holding. She put them down with a sigh.

"Why isn't this working?" She cried, tearing up.

She did that a lot; especially this week. It wasn't exactly bad, but it was hard to watch her be so miserable and angry at herself, when she could be having so much fun!

I look out the window and notice the time. Oh no, they're gonna kill me if I'm late again. "Okay Elsa, I've gotta go do my winter spirit duties; but I'm gonna come back in the morning. I promise I won't miss a second of your coronation! Please, please, please get some rest! We don't want you falling asleep on one of the most important days of your life." I start to fly away, watching her cry again as the ice fails her. If only she could understand that ice is good! But how?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was finally the day of Elsa's coronation. I come back just in time to see her start walking down the aisle. She looks absolutely terrified.

"It's okay Elsa, you can do this!" I say, trying to be encouraging. "You control the ice, the ice doesn't control you. Come one, I believe in you!"

Finally she gets to the end of the aisle and steps onto the platform. She smiles at the huge crowd, but has a wary sadness etched onto her face. The preacher guy starts reading off his big coronation speech, but even Elsa isn't listening.

Okay, let me tell you something about coronations right now. They are the most boring thing you will ever see. Ever. I fell asleep after half of it, as did half of the audience. Even Elsa looked a little droopy eyed after a while. The guy kept going on and on in this professional, mono-toned voice and it put everyone to sleep. Is this guy ever gonna end? I don't even get what he's saying! Finally, the preacher concludes his speech. Everyone yawns as he finishes. I rub my eyes tiredly. Everyone stands for the queen, and she cautiously goes to pick up those weird ceremony things.

"Uh, the gloves, Madame." The preacher whispers.

She gives him a horrified look, but slowly takes the gloves off anyway. She picks them up and closes her eyes. Just breathe, Elsa. The people all chant their weird ceremony speech and I watch as ice starts to creep up. Finally, they finish, and she rushes to put her gloves back on. Elsa smiles in relief at the crowd while they applaud.

"Hey, you did it!" I say. "I knew you could!"

She smiles a little bit wider, almost as if she can hear me. "I did it." She whispers.

After the ceremony, they have a huge party to celebrate. It's filled with dancing, loud music, and chocolate. I don't get to go to many parties, so I immediately fill myself with the chocolate. Hey, this stuff is awesome! You need to hold parties more often around here!

Elsa stands near her throne watching her sister dance. She seems almost happy for once, watching her sister, Anna, dance. I know she loves her sister a lot, but she doesn't see her anymore because of her powers. Eventually Anna leaves the room, and Elsa watches the others dance in joy. Why is she just standing there? Get out there and stop being such a stiff, Elsa!

"Hey, you should dance with someone!" I come over to her. "It wouldn't hurt to have fun for once! Come on, just one dance! At least go talk to people! Pleeeease!" Yeah, I know she can't hear a word I'm saying, but it might help!

Elsa smiles a little wider and takes a deep breath. She starts walking down to the people dancing and joins in conversation with one of them. Just then, Anna walks over to her, with some guy I've never seen before. Uh, who's this guy? I watch her cheerfully walk over to Elsa.

"Hi, it's uh, me again. This is Hans, um of the Southern Isles." She clears her throat nervously. "Uh, I- we- would like your blessing- on our marriage!" She smiles and looks at Hans.

Wait, what? "Wait, what?" I ask. "Look, Anna, you seem like a nice girl, but don't you know what your sister is going through? Now is not the time to worry her with these things!" She can't hear me, but I say it anyway. I notice Elsa's puzzled look and watch ice start to creep around her feet. Uh-oh.

She argues with her sister for a little bit and I see how worried she is. The ice continues to swirl around her. This isn't gonna end well, is it?

"Come on, Elsa, get out of here. You're not ready for this pressure." I say hurriedly, watching the ice follow her every step.

Elsa starts walking away, only to have her sister grab her glove straight off her hand. Elsa looks at her horrified.

"Give me my glove, Anna." She says, looking around as people start to stare. Come on, Elsa, it's okay. Just go.

Anna looks at her, her face red with confused anger. She starts shouting at her about shutting people out, and Elsa looks as if she might cry.

"Thats enough Anna." She says quietly, though Anna continues to shout. "I said enough!" Elsa turns toward her sister, blasting ice all around her. I hear a few people gasp, including myself, and even one person scream. Her sister looks terrified and looks from the ice to her sister. Elsa pauses, looking around with her eyes wide. After a moment, she runs. Ah, no don't run! Where are you going?

"Elsa, wait!" I say, flying after her. She runs out of the castle and into the town; full of people unaware of what chaos just happened inside. People start to cheer as Elsa backs up to a waterfall. The waterfall freezes into a scary ice sculpture, spiking all around the fountain. I hear more gasps and screams as Elsa continues running. I keep following her but I have a feeling neither of us know where we're going. We keep going until we get to the end of the docks.

"Please Elsa, calm down. It's okay, I'm sure we can sort this all out. You can do it; I know you can." I say. Elsa takes a deep breath and steps out onto the water. This would be really cool right now if we weren't in such a terrible situation. It freezes immediately, so she starts running onto the water; cautiously at first, then as fast as she can.

Elsa keeps running until she's completely out of breath, but even then she won't stop. She keeps walking, toward what looks like a huge mountain, topped with a layer of snow.
