Nothing was going to stop the wedding this time! Nature's hardest efforts would not stopping one of the most exciting, positive things to happen be pushed back again. It's just a little bit of rain. Even if it has been known to flood the docks...
As with most weddings it seems someone gets cold feet, and this one was no exception. The fiancee to the blonde ice harvester was standing at the door to her sister's chamber, hesitating to knock. She braced herself as she knocked.
*Knock knock knock-knock knock*
"E-Elsa?" She stuttered, attempting to hold back tears from running down her dolled-up face. "A-are you-"
"Come on in, Anna!" She pushed in the door then closed it behind her, leaning against it for support. Elsa looked beautiful. She was wearing her self-made bridesmaid dress made out of ice, sitting in front of her vanity fixing her hair up into her favorite braid. She smiled at Anna through the mirror, but it reversed when she noticed the tears on her otherwise gorgeous face.
"Anna!" She whipped her head to look at her sister, rushing forward to hold and comfort her, leading her to the bed to sit down. "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"
"It-it's just-" She started, then began to sob for a while before catching her breath. "It's just I kinda thought that, you know, you would shut me out, and-and, aaaa-nddddaaaa-hahaha" She began sobbing louder than before, clinging to her sister as she laid on the bed, with Elsa tightly holding her, too stunned to say anything.
"Anna, I'd-" She paused, thinking about her words carefully. "I'm not going to do that. Ever again."
"P-promise?"
Elsa looked into her sister's eyes, her beautiful blue eyes, that she could just get lost in.
"I promise."
Anna sniffed, then wiped her face with the sleeve of her wedding gown. "Okay." She smiled, and began to laugh. Then Elsa began to laugh. They both started to laugh harder, their joyous sounds drowning out their tears. They fell backwards, laying on the soft sheets facing each other.
After they settled down, Elsa asked "Why did you want to see me? And don't say 'Just to see me.'"
A chuckle escaped Anna's lips. "Well it's the truth! Well, kinda the truth, I mean, it's like partly to see you, annnnd part something else that I feel better about now."
"Well, Anna, could you tell me just what problem I helped you solve?" Elsa questioned with a beautiful grin.
"I-I was just nervous, I suppose." She began to speak faster now, getting riled up.
"I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to see you ever again, or that you would hate me for leaving for Kristoff, or-"
"Wait wait wait, slow down, Anna!" Elsa chuckled, gently grasping Anna's shoulder. "You were… worried about me?"
"W-well... Y-yeah, I guess? I mean, you are the most important thing in the world to me Elsa, and I'd hate to lose you b-because-" Her eyes watered up, staring into her loving sister's icy gaze "Bec-cause of me."
Elsa felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. Here was her sister, who she had hidden from for 13 years of her life. The sister she saw for the first time in forever, and ran away into the mountains. She plunged the whole kingdom into a blanket of snow and ice because of her. She froze her heart, and she was saying she didn't want to do anything to hurt her feelings?!
It was amazing how much she loved her.
"No, Anna, you could never do anything to make me leave you. You are perfect, okay? If Hans, Kris-toff, or anyone else can't see that, they are not good enough for you. You deserve the very best. Do you understand me?"
Anna wiped a stray tear away from her cheek, and smiled. "Yeah, I understand." She pulled Elsa into a tight hug, then backed off. "Sorry! Sorry. I forgot, you don't like it when other people touch you, and that's okay really, sometimes I-"
Elsa shushed her with her finger gently, then wrapped her in her arms, whispering into her ear. "Other than you, Anna." She tightened her grip around her as they embraced each other, until a servant interrupted them with a loud knock.
"Your Highness, are you ready? The reception is in fifteen minutes." She said behind the closed door, soft stepping of feet letting them know that she had left.
"Oh no! I almost forgot, I gotta find Kristoff's wedding present and hide it before he can see it!" She giggled, rushing to the vanity to make last minute changes to her appearance.
Elsa was surprised by that fact. Shouldn't he be the one hiding the gift for Anna?
"Okay, well, good luck with that." Elsa halfheartedly chuckled, as Anna hurriedly adjusted herself in the mirror. Elsa didn't understand why she bothered. She always seemed to look beautiful, no matter what she did to her body.
"Thanks!" She quickly but lovingly planted a kiss on Elsa's cheek, which Elsa began to touch with her fingertips. Then she rushed out to get to the church, but not before yelling out something.
"I love you Elsa! You are the best sister I could ask for!"
Elsa waved as Anna disappeared out of her life, the closing door signaling the end of their life together. It was filling her with dread and loneliness. She could only keep repeating Anna's last words to herself silently. One word in particular:
"Sister…"
She clutched her chest, snow flurrying around her as softly as her tears.
