19It was nearing midnight as Kristoff ascended the stairs of the lighthouse. Earlier that evening Anna requested that he meet her here as she had something important to tell him. Kristoff wondered if Anna was going to ask to get married to him, but figured maybe he was wrong. Still he thought about what he would say just in case he was right.
When Kristoff reached the top he saw Anna standing there in a pale green and black dress. As he approached her he noticed she seemed to be quite anxious. "Hey Anna, you wanted to see me about something?" His voice seemed to almost startle the princess.
"Oh yeah, I um... uh," Anna stammered trying to find her words.
Uh-oh! Maybe I was right about the marriage question. "It's okay Anna just relax and take your time."
Anna took three deep breaths exhaling slowly each time. When she felt she regained her composure she began slowly this time. "You and I have been together quite a few months now, correct?"
"Yes. That is correct."
"And uh…you would do anything to see me happy, wouldn't you?"
"Why of course Anna! I would do anything, I love you!"
Kristoff noticed Anna tense up after he spoke. He placed a hand on her cheek gently caressing it as he thought of something to say to reassure her. "Whatever you got to say, please just let it out. I will understand."
"Thank you for that." The princess said with a smile. She took another deep breath. "Well here it goes. You see the thing is that you love me and I have strong feelings for you, but…" Kristoff's eyes widened as an unsettling feeling came over him. But! There's a but?! This can't be good. "My feelings are stronger for Elsa!"
The young man felt relieved. "You don't think I know that?"
Anna gasped! "You do!"
"Why of course. I knew that when you sacrificed yourself for her. You love her very much, but I don't see why that has anything to do with our relationship."
Anna turned her face from him trying to hide the fact she was blushing. "Well…I love her…like really love her, more than a sister should. So you see we can't be together because I don't love you in a romantic way. My heart belongs to Elsa!"
Kristoff was shocked. Never did he expect Anna to fall in love with a female, especially her own sister. "Whoa wait a minute! You mean to tell me you are dumping me to go out with Elsa!?"
Anna nodded her head without saying a word.
"Does Elsa even know you feel this way about her?"
"Well no, or at least I don't think she does."
Kristoff felt a little humiliated and angry over the reason why Anna broke up with him. "That's just great! The woman I love and who I thought loved me, decides to call off the relationship to go out with a woman she don't even know feels the same way; her own sister at that!"
"Well jeez! You don't have to make it sound terrible!" Anna exclaimed feeling offended.
"How do you want it to sound? Want me to sugarcoat it for you? I will!" Kristoff started in sounding as sarcastic as possible. "Once there was this sweet little girl who stopped loving me so she could possibly have a chance at boffing her own sister!"
Anna scoffed. "I can't believe you! You said you would understand and you wanted to see me happy! You're nothing but a liar!" Anna gave Kristoff a shove has she nearly screamed her last sentence. Without thinking, the young man shoved Anna in response with more force than he realized. The princess went stumbling backwards.
Before Kristoff had time to react, Anna tumbled over the railing of the lighthouse. "ANNA NOOOOOO!" he screamed as he made a futile attempt to rescue her. Anna felt extremely terrified as she plummeted down; seeing Kristoff and the top of the lighthouse getting smaller and smaller before everything went black!
