Hey readers! I got my laptop back so I should be able to update weekly again! I just got a job and online college started back up (it's online so it shouldn't interfere), but I wanted to give you a heads up in case I had to update every other week. I will try my best to update as often as possible.

Reviews:

Guest- This will be another retelling of Frozen, but with different characters and different perspectives. I also intend to continue the story after Frozen ends.

Admiral809- Thanks! I thought it would add an additional perspective to the movie.

After dinner, I walked back to Anna's and my room and got ready for bed. I was especially exhausted from the day's events, and from finally not feeling the need to be scared at every second. I collapsed into bed and fell asleep immediately. 'Hello, stupid.' The meanest kid from the orphanage said to me. I looked around, and realized that, yes, I was back at the orphanage. 'I heard that the King and Queen didn't want you anymore, so guess where you are again.' His laughter struck fear in my heart. I looked around at all the other kids, and they all seemed more irritated than usually. 'Luckily for us, Maggie had to take a trip to the store, so it looks like we can do whatever we want, and no one will know the difference. Not that anyone ever notices you.' He started walking towards me, and so did all the kids behind him. I backed up, right into the wall behind me, and knew that I didn't have any way to escape.

'Hey, leave her alone!' I heard a new voice say. I looked up and there was Princess Anna. Then she turned to me, 'Look, my parents really liked having you around. I was the one who wanted to send you back. There are so many things wrong with you. First off, you are ugly, and I couldn't stand to look you anymore. Secondly, you won't talk, and you are afraid of the stupidest things. Like how you wouldn't come down from the tree at first. Thirdly, I was sick and tired of being forced to be around you all the time. You are so clingy and desperate. It's obnoxious, and it needs to stop.' I stared at her in shock, before sinking to the floor, curling up in a ball, and crying. "Oh, yeah, and there is also the fact that you are too cowar-.'

"Are you ok?" I heard someone ask, as I started to wake up. I looked up and realized that Anna was there. Still half-asleep, I looked up at Anna, and scooted backwards onto the floor, terrified. "Hey, what's wrong? I thought you were doing okay earlier." I only curled into a ball and squeezed my eyes shut. "Did you have a nightmare?" I nodded. "Do you want you to tell me what it was about?" I shook my head. No way. Not after all of the things she said to me. I finally woke up all the way and realized that I was only dreaming. Dream Anna was mean, but Not Dream Anna actually cared for me.

I was too scared to talk, so I grabbed a piece of paper, and drew a picture of two stick figures. I pointed at the taller one, then at her, and then pointed at me, and the smaller one.

"Oh, the big one is me and the small one is you?" She asked, and I nodded in response. Then I drew an angry face on "her," and a sad face on "me." "Do you think I'm… mad at you?" I looked down and nodded.

"I'm not mad at you! What made you think that?" She asked. I didn't know how to respond, so I said nothing. "Ok, tell me, would I have picked you from the orphanage? Would I be spending so much time with you? Would I be reassuring you that there is no way on earth that I could be mad at you after one day? When we adopted you, we knew that you couldn't talk, which probably means that you have some issues to work through. But, guess what? I don't care if you can talk or whatever. I care about how you are doing, no matter what. I'll try to help you if you want, but it doesn't matter to me one way or the other."

'She doesn't care if I can talk or not!? I thought every single person was going to treat me like the kids. I'm so glad they adopted me! Wait. The kids thought I deserve a life of pain. Were they just being mean or is that the truth? They must've been telling me the truth. My mama and papa thought so, too.'

"Ok, well you should go back to sleep. You look like you haven't had enough in a long time." She suddenly picked me up and set me in bed. "Good night. Don't let any mean nightmares scare you, okay. If they do, you can wake me up, or just sleep with me." I nodded my head, as she walked back to her bed. "Sleep tight." She whispered. I could tell that she was asleep, because she was dreaming of playing with a girl with white hair. I crawled over to her bed, snuggled up next to her, and fell asleep.

The next morning, she helped me pick an outfit. I was a little embarrassed, because her clothes were really nice and clean, but mine were at least a year old, barely even fit me anymore (I had grown, but I had also lost a bit of weight in the orphanage) and stained with dirt, even though I always scrubbed them really hard while doing laundry. "Don't worry. Gerda is going to measure you and make new clothes after breakfast. She's a sweetheart. I know she'll love you!"

'Why does she think everyone is going to like me? What if they don't?' I just nodded silently and walked down the hall with her

Breakfast was amazing, just like dinner had been. I was still full from dinner, so I only ate a little bit. I enjoyed breakfast, but I couldn't wait to be measured and finally have new clothes.

I immediately decided I hated being measured. Gerda was really nice and talked me through what was happening, but I didn't like the measuring tape wrapping around me, and she had to touch me in order to get an accurate measurement. I couldn't see her the entire time and being touched randomly reminded me of the orphanage a little bit. She had to do some areas again because I was "too squirmy."

Finally, it was over, but Anna had to leave to do her lessons. I joined her for a little bit, but it was so confusing I decided I was not ready for it. "You can explore the castle. It is your new home after all." Anna told me.

I wandered around for a little while, until I heard a really distraught voice in my head. 'Am I ever going to fix this?' It sounded like a girl a few years older than Anna. 'I just want Anna back, but I can't risk hurting her, again. Quit being so pathetic, she has that adopted kid now, she doesn't need you. Wait, if she doesn't need me, why am I still alive. There is no reason for me to be here. The world would be off better without me. It always has been, and now I have nothing.'

I stared in shock at the door, in disbelief as to what I was hearing. I had no idea what she meant, but it sounded really bad. I knew I had to do something! I forced myself to stop thinking about what she was thinking and went to open the door, but it was locked, so I knocked instead.

"Coming," I heard the person inside say, and when she opened the door, I was in even more shock. A girl with pretty white hair opened the door. I was hearing Princess Elsa's thoughts! For a princess, she looked really sad, and a little scared, very thin, and she was wearing gloves on her hands. She looked around, and was about to close the door, when she saw me. She glared at me. "What do you want?" I flinched, but pointed at her, which seemed to make her a little less scared. "You want me? How did you know I was here, anyway? I know Father wouldn't tell you about me."

I wasn't sure what to do, but I couldn't talk. I pointed to me, then my ear, then her, and finally my head.

"You hear my… head?" I shook my head and pointed to my head again. "You hear my…thoughts?" I smiled and nodded. Her expression didn't change one bit, but her face paled. She opened the door to let me in, then promptly locked it. "Please, please do not tell anyone what you hear. That is my problem to deal with, and I don't want people to know how I feel, either." I nodded and crossed one finger over my heart. "As for your ability: Do not tell anyone about it. There is nothing wrong with you, but there are some people who aren't so open-minded. I don't want you to think like that. It is a gift, and I don't ever, ever want you to think otherwise.

Her eyes stared off to the distance. I was wondering what she was looking at when:

"Catch me!"

"Slow down!"

Small princess Elsa felt the pain of smacking her head on the ground but was too focused on Anna to notice. Anna had been jumping from snow mound to snow mound that Elsa had been creating but didn't notice that Elsa wasn't ready for her to jump. She tried to create a snow mound, but accidently hit her sister instead. She cried for her parents and started apologizing to Anna.

Her father came in, and asked, "Elsa, what have you done?"

"It was an accident. I'm sorry Anna."

The flashback disappeared, and I stared at Elsa. "I guess you saw that, since, apparently, you can read minds." I nodded my head. "Now you know why I have to stay in here, and why I don't want you to think that there is something wrong with you. There is something wrong with me. I hurt my best friend."

I shook my head. 'There is nothing wrong with her. That was an accident. She was doing her job and tried to help Anna! And Anna was so little! How long has she been hurting because of this?'

"Yes, there is. I almost killed the one person who I'm supposed to be protecting. Now I can't even control it anymore." She looked as if she had lost all hope. "And then you had to come along. Now I have one more person in my life to worry about not hurting. Please stay away from me and keep Anna safe. I know that you are younger than her, but she likes to ride her bike down the stairs and do dangerous activities such as that. Just, whatever you do, keep her safe. Please." She suddenly looked at the door, and hissed, "Quick, you need to hide. Get into that closet!" As soon as the door closed behind me, I heard a knock at the door, and Elsa opened the door.

"Hello," I heard King Adgar say. Elsa, however, didn't respond. "You didn't let Princess Anna in, did you?"

"Why would I do that? I might hurt her again." Her voice was monotone, the little emotions that she had showed me earlier were completely gone.

I heard the sound of skin slapping skin, and a muffled cry of pain. "Ok, now I believe you, but you have to make it your responsibility to keep those awful powers of yours a secret." Her father said, which surprised me. He seemed like a nice person, but he just insulted Elsa and her powers. No wonder she looked so… defeated. Poor Elsa! I wanted to jump out and yell at him and tell him that her powers were a part of her, and she shouldn't be locked away because she made a mistake! I knew I wouldn't be able to stick up for Elsa without getting her into trouble, so there was no point. I also couldn't talk anyways.

I remembered my parents leaving me, and I remembered getting beat up by the other orphans. I couldn't imagine my parents doing that to me. At least they just left me. I did not want to imagine what it must be like for Elsa. Especially since she was also terrified of her powers.

I heard the door slam shut, footsteps leaving, the closet door opened, and I walked out. Elsa's skin was so pale, there was already bruising on her cheek. "I'm so sorry you had to hear that. He's a good person. He has just never been able to accept my powers. Could you please go, now?" I hesitated, but nodded, opened the door, and left. She seemed ok, but I didn't want to scare her anymore.

Later that night, I was lying in Anna's bed, because I had woken up from a nightmare and was too scared to wake her up. I think I read Elsa's mind in my sleep, because the nightmare was a slower version of Elsa's memory, except that Anna had actually died. When I woke up, I didn't want to burden Anna by waking her up, so I crawled in bed with her again. I felt safer with Anna and was able to fall asleep. This time, I didn't dream of anything, and woke up when Anna did.

The next morning, when we went to breakfast, King Adgar decided that I needed to work on my table manners. They showed me how to use the fork and spoon, which took a lot longer than eating with my hands, but they told me I wouldn't get desert later tonight if I didn't eat "properly." I was so hungry still, and I was okay to go without desert, so I gave up and used my hands.

After breakfast, Anna let me wear one of her old dresses, a short purple dress with a white bow in the middle. Gerda wanted to give all of my new clothes to me as soon as possible, but they weren't ready yet. "Probably tomorrow, Princess Anna."

Anna wanted to play with me, but she had some homework from the day before she still hadn't finished. So, I was forced to play by myself. I decided to go see how Elsa was doing. I know she didn't want me to, but I decided I didn't care, and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" she asked, but I didn't answer. "If you don't answer I'm not going to open the door." She knew I didn't talk! I tried to open it, but it was locked. Finally, I gave up and left.

I wandered around the halls for a little while, grateful to actually have time to myself. That was a luxury I hadn't had since before my parents left. I didn't count the day they left as "alone time." I had been alone, but I'd had an icky feeling in my stomach, and I was so sad.

All of a sudden, I realized I was lost, and I knew I was going to have to find my way back. I tried to turn around and see where the hall led me, but I didn't recognize any part of it.

I continued doing this for a long time, without even seeing anything that looked familiar. Finally, I gave up, leaned against the wall, and sat down. My feet were so tired from walking, and I had let my mind go into places I didn't want to think about. Suddenly, I heard footsteps, and curled up into a small ball hoping whomever it was wouldn't see me. "Oh, hello. You must be Zoey. Anna was looking for you." A man said. I didn't recognize him, so I started scooting away, got up, and tried to walk away. "Wait, Zoey, don't leave! My name is Kai, I am the King and Queen's loyal servant. I've been helping Anna look for you. I can lead the way." He held out his hand, and I took it. He knew where Anna was! I followed him around the castle. We went into the kitchen, and I saw Anna and started sprinting to her.

"Oh Zoey, I was wondering where you went." Anna said as she picked me up. "Thanks so much, Kai."

The rest of the night was uneventful. I spent dinner being forced eat "properly." I didn't understand. The food is supposed to get into my mouth. Does it really matter how? Unfortunately for me, the Queen was insistent that I do it properly. They worked on it all dinner long.

"Hey, ready for bed?" Anna interrupted my thoughts. I nodded, and the two of us climbed into our separate beds. I knew Anna would fall asleep right away. Her breathing started to even out and become deeper. I was torn between falling asleep and staying awake. I was too scared to sleep because I didn't want another nightmare, but at the same time, I was really tired from never having enough sleep. The part of me that didn't want to go to sleep eventually won out, and I found myself wandering around the halls, again.

This time, I was going to Elsa's room, even though I knew she didn't want me there. I felt more comfortable around her because she had powers like me. She didn't like having me around because she thought she was going to hurt me, but I knew that she was even more careful when I was around.

By the time I reached Elsa's room, I was able to see some of her thoughts. They became clearer as I got closer, and I was able to start seeing a bunch of angry townspeople surrounding Elsa. They were all chanting the word "monster" and holding pitchforks. The leader was some random civilian who must have had some sort of grudge on Elsa. He grabbed her arms and pulled them behind her back. Fire suddenly appeared in front of her. "No, please." I could hear dream-Elsa mutter. They started pushing her closer and closer to the fire. I couldn't take it anymore and barged into her (luckily) unlocked room.

She was on the bed, thrashing around, and was completely tangled in the covers. Her beautiful white hair was all over her face and pillow, and there seemed to be a couple of wet marks running down her cheeks. Snow was falling all around the room, where ice had already spread across the carpet of her room. After slipping once, I got up and slowly made my way over to avoid slipping again and started shaking her.

The vision finally started going away until it disappeared completely. Elsa blinked her eyes, saw me, pulled up the covers and mumbled, "No, please don't hurt me. I promise I'll leave right away. Just leave me alone." She started figuring out what had happened and jerked away from me. "Wait a second… What are you doing in here? Get away from me! I don't want to hurt you!"

I backed up, looked at the ground and dug my toe into her floor, because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. After a few minutes, she said, "thank you for waking me up, but you need to leave. It's not safe for you in here." She told me and glared at the ice. As much as I wanted to argue, I knew it wouldn't help me. 'I wish she would just let me help her! I don't even have to talk or get near her to do so, either. Why won't she let me?!' I knew Elsa didn't like people near her, but I really wanted to help. I walked back to Anna's room and fell asleep snuggled up next to her.

Gerda had several dresses ready for me the next day, mostly purple, light blue and pink colors. They were all so nice! I was a little scared to play in them because I wanted them to stay clean. After having dirty dresses all the time, I couldn't risk getting any stains on my new ones.

The days passed by faster than when I was in the orphanage. My bruises slowly disappeared, and the physical traces of my time at the orphanage were gone. The only thing left were my memories, which I seemed to be unable to forget. I kept trying to talk but couldn't. King Adgar was not impressed. 'We adopted her mid-October, and it's November already. Why does she refuse to say anything? She will never be able to go anywhere if she can't talk.' What if he left me at the orphanage because of it? I wouldn't be able to survive that again!

Anna wanted me to try climbing the tree again, but I was a little nervous. "Don't worry. I'll help you until you are comfortable." She helped me get to the same spot as last time, and then sat down on the branch with enough room for me to sit, too.

"I have noticed that you are a lot happier. You smile more often, and your face is constantly lighting up. I'm so happy you are here. I hope you start talking soon, but even if you can't, I won't care." I looked up at her, even though I was crying and realized that she was tearing up, too.

I tried to say, "Thank you." I really, really did! But I couldn't force any sound out. I sighed and leaned my head on her, instead, and she wrapped her arm around my back. That was the safest I had felt in a long time.

The days continued to pass uneventfully. Anna and I played a lot, and she was always there for me when I remembered my parent's last words to me or when I remembered the orphanage. I couldn't tell her what had happened, but she understood that I needed someone, and let me cry on her. She was almost always with me, except some nights. I tried to visit Elsa at night, too, but she hardly ever opened her door. Sometimes she would talk through the door, but I knew she needed someone to be with her. She did open the door one time, clearly shook up, and quickly let me in.

"I can't do this anymore. I give up. I want to be free! My parent's think I'm a failure, and they are right. I've been in this room for nine years. I was born with these powers, yet I've spent the last nine years out of control. Nine years of living with the guilt of almost killing my sister, and taking her freedom away, too. In fact, the only good thing that came out of this, was you. If I had been normal, my parents never would've adopted you."

My mind was racing. 'What's Elsa talking about? Is she going to leave this castle?'

I didn't understand what she meant, or what caused her to get so upset. I knew that she was becoming a little crazy, being alone and terrified all the time, but I didn't know how to help. I did know that hugs had always helped me, so I started walking over to her to give her a hug.

She started shaking really bad, but I understood that she hadn't had a hug in a long time, so I just reached around her and hugged her. Wrong choice. Very much the wrong choice. She started breathing really heavy and shaking even worse, even when I let go of her. She didn't seem to recognize that I was there anymore.

"Hurt Anna… Can't let hurt anyone happen again … Can't do this anymore… Don't hurt Zoey… Make it end. Conceal don't feel. Conceal don't feel."

She hugged herself, and her face contorted in pain. Her breathing got more and more shallow. I wasn't sure how to help her. All of a sudden, she gasped, and ice exploded all around her. I flinched, expecting to be hit. As soon as I realized I was ok, I ran over to Elsa to make sure she was ok.

"Zoey?" Elsa groaned. "Are you ok?" I nodded, and she started to look around. "How did I not hit you?" There was ice in a straight line around her room, except the area I had been standing. The ice curved in an outline where my head had been! "Were you standing there? But… How did that happen? I should've definitely hit you in the head! But… The ice jumped over you like it knew to miss you." I nodded. "How did that happen? I-I don't understand. But- you are ok? You need to go. You can't be around me anymore. You can't be around me ever again. I can't risk hurting you."

I wanted to tell her so bad that she was not a bad person. She didn't try to hit me on purpose! It was my fault for scaring her! But I already scared her once, and I didn't want her to be scared again, so I sadly waved good-bye and left.

Thanks for reading!
