With time I found out from my father that my nanny was truely my grandmother, and that she had been put in such a position because she supposedly had gone crazy years ago after my grandfather was killed. My father also told me that they had hid her existance from the people and from me because she was a very powerful woman.

I knew then that what my grandmother had said about me being like her was true. I had always shared a connection with her but I never knew how deep. She was now for the first time allowing me to see what I was and who I was to become.

I hurried to my grandmothers room, and collapsed onto the floor infront of her.

"It's about time my child."

"You are my..."

"Yes, but I am far more to you. I am to be your teacher. You have something within you that none of your siblings will possess."

"I do..."

"Yes...explain to me what you feel inside right now."

"I can feel my heart beat beating slowly, my pulse gradually decreasing, my breath feels cold, my chest feels like a block of ice..."

"You will always feel like this inside because you are a queen of winter. You control the cold, the freeze, and the ice; you will be love, hated, and feared because of this." She reached out and caressed by blondish white hair.

She was right as I became 12 many of the farmers became enraged as their crops would fail during summer month because I needed the cold near me and could not control that which was within me yet. The kingdom began to go through a famine, and my parents were angered by my power. They had just had their third child and were not ready to be destroyed by a mob of angry farmers. To keep me from destroying the kingdom, I along with my grandmother was sent to a remote area once own by a duke who had long since died and surrendered his land back to my father.

I could feel my body surging with a cool feeling. No one with the exception of my grandmother wanted me to exist. My curse keeps me imprisoned in this castle. How could I leave with out causing attention to myself? I will bring destruction to my families land if I am not careful. My grandmother seems to sense my uneasiness.
