I've killed again...

It was a child this time... Well no more than that it was a family. A mother and two children... I'm not sure who I was here for, but... They were expecting me it seems.

I showed up and immediately without me desiring it the temperature began dropping... I didn't even give them a chance to say yes or no this time... I think they might have already made that choice in the past however. I get the feeling that I'm just inheriting some of the old job holder's problems...

It wasn't a house it was some abandoned building somewhere. When I showed up the children began to run and the mom took out a homemade flamethrower. Fire covered me, it didn't hurt and soon after the device began to freeze to the point she couldn't hold it. She fell to her knees and cursed me with every word she knew as she froze to death. Her children didn't fare much better. I caught both of them a little bit later and they froze as well. They were crying... The tears freezing on their faces as the temperature dropped.

I returned to The Heart of Ice feeling worse than before. I expected my children to be waiting for me, but they were gone. Instead that strange blind old man was there.

"It gets easier, you know," he said and I glared at him.
"I don't want it to get easier, I want it to stop," I countered, feeling angry. He simply shrugged.
"You won't really have a choice. One of the others has already begun to enjoy themselves in their new role," he explained.
"Others?" I asked confused.
"Oh yes. You didn't think you were the only new office holder did you?" he said smiling, amused by my ignorance and or arrogance.
"I kind of did yeah..." I felt silly, but then the anger returned.
"You did this to me didn't you? This is your doing?" I asked, I'm not sure where I had gotten that idea.
He shrugged. "In a way I suppose I did..." I didn't wait to hear anymore. I let out a roar, that probably would have been more impressive and intimidating if it didn't sound like a ten year old trying to play T-rex, and summoned forth massive pieces of ice which flung themselves at him. He simply vanished and then reappeared standing beside me. "You should really calm down..." he said and I turned on him trying to grab him. He caught my hands, "Really now, you're acting like a child-" he began, but I cut him off.
"-I am a child!" I yelled and began trying to freeze him. There was no effect.
"I can tell you don't wish to talk to me at the moment, so I'll be going. When you've calmed down a bit call on me and we'll talk more," he said and then vanished completely. I remained there, fuming and then heard the voices of the children, approaching. I ran to meet them and immerse myself in their comforting adoration. We played games and told stories, but this time it didn't make me feel much better...
