Third Queen of Arendelle, Anna.

Beloved mother, wife, sister and friend.

I started to cry, not being able to help myself. But those words weren't the cause of it. It was because they had written down random things Anna had said in her life and some I was there for.

The only frozen heart around here is yours.

We had been standing on a ship after I had thawed Arendelle and she had walked right up to Hans, someone who had acted like he loved her to get to the crown since I wouldn't marry anyone. I had accidentally frozen her heart but it thawed because she had sacrificed her life for me.

That's when she had said that and punched him right in the face, making him fall overboard.

It's not nice to throw people!

After I had kicked her, Kristoff and Olaf out of my ice castle five years ago and built a giant snowman to get rid of them, Anna had gotten angry and threw a snowball at him only to make him angrier. I had been watching from the balcony view and had heard her say that.

Especially for a man in heels!

I laughed, remembering at my coronation party I had made her go dance with the Duke of Weselton, and he had always been stepping on her feet. She was pretty tired after that.

The sky's awake, so I'm awake, so se have to play!

Tears spilled down my face more and I wiped them away. When we had been little before Anna had gotten the strip of blonde and forgetting I had had powers, she always woke me up so early saying that. That the sky was awake and she had to be to.

But what it said next made me collapse, my shoulders shaking from the pain and fear I felt. The madness was swelling up within me and this made it grow faster. It felt like it was eating at my brain, rotting it away.

Darkness was swelling within me and I looked up at the grave, seeing those words that haunts me since she had ever said them. But they were changed. They weren't the same way she had said them. It was like she was telling me this from beyond the grave.

Let's go build a snowman, Elsa.

"Anna," I whispered glancing up at the sky, like she was looking down at me. "Yes, let's go build a snowman, Anna."

That's when it happened. Everything around me changed. I changed.

All my happiness, love, it went away. My brain and heart thawed from the ice that had been holding it together.

A large wind blew across the land. Kristoff grabbed Michelle protectively and Timothy watched me with wonder.

My ice dress changed. It became a black laced dress. It was still the style of it but I couldn't feel the coldness against my skin anymore.

My hair was still in its French braid and a little less messy. My ice castle that was in the distance changed from ice to a small little hut made out of dark wood and pine. I felt it happen as the wind dyed down and Kristoff and Michelle fell to their knees while Timothy still stood behind me, watching with wide eyes.

"Aunt Elsa?" Michelle asked and Kristoff watched me as well.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Anna's grave. I felt emptiness. The madness inside me grew as I rose to my feet and turned around, heading back to what once was an ice castle.

"Elsa?" Timothy watched me walk by him without saying anything. Once I made it back to the small little hut I stopped in front of it, and screamed.

I screamed so loudly I knew all here heard. I fell to my knees, giving into the insanity that was waiting for me.

This was how I was gonna live for the rest of my life.

This was my future and present. A life without powers, friends, family and Anna.

For all eternity.

"KILL ME!"
