4Anna woke up groggily, finding herself leaning against Elsa's bedroom door.
She listened silently, wondering if her big sister was still awake, and she assumed that she was, but she asked just to make sure.
"Elsa, are you awake?"
"Anna?"Els'as soft reply, full of fear replied, "Please go away..."
She really didn't want to deal with anyone at this time, especially her sister, the one that she was trying to stay away from, for fear of hurting her again.
The red head sighed.
This was what happend everyday of their lives now; it hurt her deeply that her sister didn't want to be with her. She was about to get up and walk away when she heard sobbing on the other side of the door.
She'd spend every day, trying to coax her sister, tocome out and play, and getting the same response didn't hurt her as much as the pain she felt now.
The King an Queen of Arendelle had been buried earlier that day, everyone present, save for the two sisters, who mourned and refused to come out of their rooms, until Anna had come to her sister's room, seeking comfort, for she had no one else to turn to.
It seemed however, that elsa didn't want to speak to her, this causing her to feel distraught and more depressed than she felt before.
"Elsa, can we just talk? You don't have to come out if you don't want." Anna sighed and waited.
"Mama and Papa are dead..." elsa responded, her voice quavering and shaking from sadness, and it seemed she was on the verge of tears.
Anna turned around and touched the door, surprised her sister was actually speaking to her at all.
Was her sister actually talking to her?
Was this a sign that she wasn't ignoring her?
Or, was it just a dream?
A dream from which Anna would wake up from at anymoment, but she shrugged the thought off,.
Anna would have felt joy and elation, had it not been for her dispirited state.
"I know. I miss them too."
"I'm scared..." Elsa whimpered.
She heard Anna gasp in surprise, and realized the door had turned freezing cold.
On the other side of the door, Elsa was trying hard to control her emotions, but no matter how hard she tried to hold back the ice that wanted to come out, she couldn't help but still feel distraught, and using the little willpower she had,
she took a shaky breath, gripping the doorknob, which grew colder by her touch, dissipating the ice.
"Elsa, how did you do that?" The red head asked, her voice full of curiosity and wonder.
How was elsa abel to freeze the doorknob?
Did she possess some sort of magical ability?
As far as Anna was concerned, Elsa was normal, well, at least until the powers were revealed.
Anna heard Elsa sniffing. "Mama and Papa didn't want you to know."
"Didn't want me to know what?" Anna inquired with much confusion.
What was so important that she wasn't allowed to know?DHad her parents kept something hidden from her, for all those years?
"Meet me in the ballroom..." Elsa hesitated, before continuing, holding out a breath sshe hadn't realized she was holding. "I have something to show you..."
Anna was waiting in the ballroom for her big sister, wondering what on earth was going on.
Why did elsa want her to meet here?
What was the reasoning behind all this?
The door suddenly opened and Elsa silently walked in, head down, shoulders hunched looking as if she was going to be killed for this.
Slowly, she made her way to where her sister sat on a sofa.
She stopped, before she completely reached her though, and stood, stock still as she took in her younger sister.
Anna was beautiful, with freckles dotting her upper cheeks, and her skin was flawless.
She had aquamarine eyes, and her eyelashes were long and black.
The dress she was wearing was long, flowing and black, which matched her long headband.
"Hey.." The red head said, her sister coming over next to her.
"Hi..." Elsa sighed, feeling troubled.
"What did you want to show me?" Anna asked.
"Can i tell you what happend when we were kids?" Elsa aske, reaching the sofasitting down.
"Of course, Elsa. You can tell me whatever you want and need too." Anna replied.
Elsa gulped, nodding.
"When we were little, you would always wake me up very early in the morning to play.
One morning, you woke me, and asked me to build a snowman...as you did every morning."
Anna smiled, nodding for her sister to continue.
"We came in here. And I..." Elsa grimaced, bracing herself for what was about tocome next.
Here was the moment where she would tell Anna what happened.
Although Anna never knewwhat had truly transpired during all those years, she guessed something had to of happend to her sister or to her
"Elsa?" She asked softly.
"I...have...ice...powers..." Elsa started crying.
Anna stared, dumbfounded at her sister. "You have ice powers? Why are you crying?"
Elsa shook her head. "When we were playing, I hit you with them..."
Anna cocked her head, curiously. "How did it happen?"
"I made you snow piles to jump on, and you kept leaping off them faster and faster. I asked you to slow down, but you didn't hear me, and you leapt off the last one before i could make you a new one...I slipped on my ice, and I...hit...you...in the...head..you were so...cold...I thought..I...had..killed...you..."
Elsa buried her face in her hands and sobbed hard.
Suddenly the feeling of warmth wrapping around her startled Elsa. She looked up to find Anna had her arms wrapped around her.
"N...No, Anna. I'm not...safe!" Elsa cried, trying to back away, but Anna seemed to have a firm, but gentle grip on her sister.
"Elsa, it was an accident..." Anna whispered, stroking her sister's blonde hair.
The blonde stopped trying to wriggle free and instead, leaned her head against her sister, burying her face into the folds of her sister's sleave.
The red head sighed sadly. "Is that why we never saw each other again?"
Elsa silently nodded. "Papa and Mama...didn't want me...near you...again."
Anna stroked her sister's hair and kept quiet, as her sister sobbed against her.
Elsa suddenly wailed in anger and pain.
"I know, Elsa. I know." The red head whispered.
"I loved them...and they hurt us!" Elsa screamed, her sadness being replaced by anger.
How could they have done this to them?
They ruined their childhood!
Anna started sobbing hard as they hugged each other tightly. "They just... didn't.. know what.. to do, Elsa..."
After their sobbing subsided, Elsa silently sat there with her younger sister; Anna gently stroking her hair some more.
The blonde closed her eyes, trying to get rid of the sadness she felt for leaving her sister out all those years ago.
"You wanted to show me something." Anna whispered, remembering why Elsa had wanted to meet her here in the first place.
Elsa nodded and tipped her fingers up and wriggled them.
Suddenly, snowflakes shot up to the ceiling, a gentle snowfall descending upon the sisters, and Anna noticed the purple coloring in them turned to Elsa.
"Elsa?"
"Huh?" Elsa whispered.
"They are beautiful." Anna softly replied.
Elsa glanced at her sister, sighing as they both watched the snowflakes, which continued to fall gently on the sisters, some of them still hovering in the air, Anna continuing to watch in amazement at her sister's power, which had been revealed just a few minutes ago.
Anna, captivated by the snowflakes, wasn't sure what else to say to her sister, for she was just very taken aback by the spectacle that was in front of them; these were her sister's powers,
The powers that her parents wanted to be concealed, for fear they'd be dangerous.
The blonde shivered, gazing down at her hands, which had released the bottled-up power that had been kept hidden for 13 years.
Although she had a bit of resentment towards her parents for hiding her away, she missed them no matter how mean and cruel it had been, for them to lock her away.
They had always tried their best to be by her side, but due to duties and such, they were of little help, and now, Elsa wished that things were different, but she knew that it wouldn't be possible.
After today, she'd have to return to being isolated in her room, but … what would become of Anna?
She'd be forced to be lonely again, and Elsa was her only remaining family, and Elsa knew that thinking that being isolated would do nothing; it was time to put the past behind her.
This was time to focus on what was ahead.
Anna, during this long period, was often found walking down the halls, a distraught expression on her face, and her parents would often ask her if she was okay, and she'd respond by saying that she wished she could see Elsa.
To cheer her up,
Mama would often sing songs to her, and Papa would read her stories, and they explained to Anna that it would be "for the best." If she never saw her parents, the Princess never knowing why, until today.
Anna felt her sister shivering against her body and asked, "Are you cold?"
Elsa shook her head, dismissing the question. "The cold never bothers me."
"Memories?" The red head asked, looking towards her sister,
Elsa turning away from her, and leaned her head against the sofa, on the verge of tears again, Anna immediately knowing what was wrong.
The red head rested her hand gently on the back of her sister, as Elsa continued to shiver, buriing her face farther into the sofa, trying to not let the tears flow out of her eyes, but Anna knew what the prbllem was, so she put an arm around her sssister.
"Remember how Mama used to sing to us when we were little?" Anna asked, and Elsa's breath came out in gasps, as the memories of their time together as a family came to the surfice.
Anna rubbed her sister's back, trying to comfort her sister, who was again, on the verge of tears.
"I used.. to.. love... Mama's... voice..." The reply tumbled out of the blonde's mouth, her sister nodding her head in agreement.
"It was so pretty." Anna agreed, but then, her expression saddened. "I wish they were back with us, mama especially."
"Yeah, me too," Elsa answered, feeling the sadness in her, as what Anna had said registered; she, too, wanted her parents back, as cruel as they may have seemd, but she still loved them deep inside.
"Hey, cheer up. It'll be alright." Elsa told her sister, hoping that this comment would asure her, and Anna knew her older sister was right.
"You're right."
"I know I am," Elsa said, hugging her sister close.
