Elsa stared out the window. She was wearing the new light blue gown her tailor had delivered just yesterday. This was supposed to be a special day. Ever since she had been a little girl, her parents had promised they would one day marry her to a prince so they could reign together. She was feeling anxious but not for the reason her sister, Anna, or the rest of the realm might think. She did not feel excited to meet Isaac. Yes, he was the prince everyone seemed to be talking about these days; heir to Dragstone and, if word was to be believed, the most handsome man alive, his ship was to be arriving in just a couple hours and even though it was said as a courtesy that he was coming to Harrendal on business, everyone knew he was there to meet Elsa.
She slipped on her glass heels and headed out of her room. She was expected to be at the docks to receive his ship soon. She walked up to the door of her sister's chamber and raised her hand to knock. She had to talk to her. But something stopped her. She was scared. Anna was all she had in the world, what if she didn't understand? What if she got angry or worse? Elsa lowered her hand and turned to walk away just as Anna opened the door.
"Elsa!" she exclaimed and threw her arms around her sister. She'd missed Elsa so much during so many years that she was still trying to catch up on all those hugs they had missed. "You look gorgeous! He's totally going to fall in love at first sight…although, well, you know…don't think about getting married right away…" she said talking fast, as usual, joking about what she'd done a couple of years back.
"Very funny Anna," Elsa said actually smiling. She was glad to have her sister back, she had missed her bright smile, her jokes and the way she always seemed to make everything better. This eased her a little, but it also worried her. She was going to have to talk to her sooner or later. "I was thinking about visiting mom and dad before this whole place goes crazy, do you want to come?" The look in both girls eyes was identical, a look of sadness but strength.
"Let's go." They arrived to their parents' stone memorial. Elsa always thought back to their burial day and how, out of fear, she'd left Anna alone. She wrapped her arm around her little sister.
"They'd be really proud of you, you know Anna?" Anna smiled.
"You think so?"
"I know so. You've grown up to be this amazing woman, helping everyone in the realm; you've really made a difference for Harrendale. Sometimes I think you should be the queen, most of the time I don't feel fit enough for the role."
"You're crazy Elsa, everybody loves you!" Anna took Elsa's hand. "They love you and they know that they can always turn to you to be just and fair."
"I know, but you've always been the kinder one. You brighten up everyone's day by just walking by."
"Well, wait until they see you today in that gown and meeting your prince charming!" Elsa smiled sadly. "What is it? Did I say something?" Anna could read her sister perfectly.
"No, it's just that…I think people are expecting something from me that I might not be able to give them."
"What do you mean? You're known all around for being such a great queen…"
"I know, that's not what I meant little sister. It doesn't matter," she smiled to her sister and then moved closer to her father's stone and touched it lightly; she did the same with her mother's, then turned back to Anna and led the way back to the castle. "Is that what you're wearing?"
"Are you crazy? I got a new gown as well, Chris will go crazy!" Anna said excitedly. "Meet you in the hall in half an hour?"
"Sounds perfect," Elsa stayed downstairs overlooking all the activities that were going on in the castle. She talked to a few people to make sure all the preparations were taken care of while Anna got ready. When she saw her come down the stairs she was impressed. "Anna…you look amazing…" She was wearing a purple long gown with flowers embedded into it. It made her eyes look especially blue and made a great contrast with the color of her hair.
"You think so?" she asked happily.
"Yes! You will definitely impress Chris, where is he by the way?"
"He said he'd be outside with Sven."
"Well, we shouldn't keep him waiting."
"Elsa…are you ok?" Anna knew something was going on, and although she did not want to pressure her sister, she felt like there was something important going on inside her sister's head and she wanted to make sure Elsa knew that no matter what, she would always be there.
"Yeah umm…I just…" Elsa fell silent. How could she tell Anna?
"It's ok…whatever it is, I am here for you. You don't have to talk right now, but whenever you get your ideas sorted out, I'll be right here." Anna hugged her sister. Elsa welcomed the hug. Who knew what would happen next. She smiled at her sister to reassure her.
"Let's go, I'm ready." They walked out of the castle, where the crowd was cheering for them. Although they got to see them often, everyone loved the sisters and they were always happy to see them around and this was not just any day. This was a special occasion for the people.
