Summary: Anna wants her. More than anything. The reclusive Elsa and her twin cause more than an upheaval when they barge into Anna's life. Anna POV. Non-incest.
Prologue.
Anna knew what they said about wanting things that are not good for you. She's heard all of those warnings before. Don't climb the tress if you have trouble getting down, don't run in the hallway, don't try climbing fences of old lady Mrs. Hall. And they all are probably for her best too, because last time she did climb Mrs. Hall's unnaturally high fences, she'd almost got eaten up by the crazed woman's Rottweiler. That dog was called Marshmallow, and really, shed think he was one if only he wasn't snapping at her and trying to get a piece of her sweet flesh all the while baring really scary, pointy teeth.
That had given her a fright. She remembers how she felt that day, watching the old woman look on with glee - up till then she thought old lady Hall was blind, but boy was she wrong. She remembers the feeling that came with having nowhere to go to, being trapped on a precarious edge, all the while cursing herself and her sweet tooth which led her to ignore Rapunzel's friendly warning and go after the pineapples that she knew would be ripe - she could just smell them in the summer air.
She hated that feeling. She hated being cramped up with nowhere to go: and that situation was the perfect experience for her to never again tread in dangerous waters. But then again, she remembers how easily Rapunzel lured the dog with a piece of meat. It was safe to say her mother wasn't pleased to find what was supposed to be their family dinner, missing.
She blamed it on her cat, and her cousin nodded rather enthusiastically that garnered the slight narrowing of her mother's eyes, telling her the older woman didn't quite believe in her fib. Of course, the entire idea of the little white kitten eating the chunk of meat was ludicrous but she was glad her mother let it go. That day was filled with brushes with apparent danger.
And when she went to bed at night, for the first time she felt that sense of dread and misery settle in her 'yup-I've-been-there' group of emotions. Beyond that ever present and overwhelming sense of relief that made her want to laugh out in victory, she knew how that dread managed to dampen her spirit.
And she was sure that this was just one of 'those' things. Things that she mustn't do, if she ever cared for the future.
It wasn't like she had done anything as yet - no, she wasn't that stupid. And she knew that the people around her would unknowingly keep her from doing the one thing that guaranteed her epic downfall. For her though it didn't feel like a downfall. It was more of a very hard climb and having to reach that sweet finish right at the top. If she knew better than she would realize that the summit was more of a precarious edge, something that was so far dangerous and much more complex than that time she'd been stuck on the fence, waiting to be eaten by the jaws when her defense would weaken.
But still. She couldn't help but think of her. Couldn't help but peek around her boyfriend whenever he felt the need to sling his arm around her shoulder and puff his chest out proudly at anyone and everyone. Times like those, she felt claustrophobic - surrounded by people, her cousin and best friend, Rapunzel and her boyfriend, Flynn.
And of course Hans, the quarterback. Also called the most gorgeous, most athletic, most handsome and witty, sideburns guy.
She had everything, she thought as she looked around her.
She had the respect of her peers, probably fear too - she could never tell sometimes. After all you have to be wary about the typical cheerleader. She knew she could snap her fingers and the whole football team, at the nod of her Hans, of course, would dump whatever poor soul had stepped on her toe into the dumpsters behind the school. She had only done that once. And that was because the guy had given her, the object of her perverse desires, a hard time.
She had a hoarse of friends. But those were something she wasn't regretful of. She liked people and her sunny disposition made sure every person I. The whole school knew who she was. But even that had drastically changed as she entered high school. Before, in middle school, she and Punzie were the pair of girls everyone could trust. Life was basically butterflies and rainbows then and she was such a fool for thinking that that would hold true in high school.
She snorts when she thinks that she could cakewalk her way in high school. Peers had a lot to do with her trusting people at face value. But most of her change had been due to the harsh reality that she would never confirm to social norms. Particularly when she realized that being true to what you were would probably make you look sick not only in the eye of your family and friends, but most importantly I'm yours too.
She remembers how the terror of imagining the weird girl kissing her when Hans, the schools most sought after upperclassman was doing so, made her wilt up in fear so profoundly deep, she had to resort to attack.
She was new. Punzie had found her so called true love, and although at first she was wary of the metro sexual man who liked called himself Flynn Rider rather than Eugene, she was glad to see them fit so well together. She could even imagine how their babies would look and she'd be lying if she said that she didn't already make her list. She didn't tell Rapunzel that though. Amidst blushing about how she wouldn't want to make babies so soon let alone actually having one, she would bring out her ultimate weapon: the frying pan. And having had been hit by the pan she didn't want a repeat demonstration.
Other than that she felt something else. That she couldn't admit to herself other than in those deep recesses of sleep where the most vile and dark thoughts buried deep came out to frighten you.
She was jealous. So utterly and profoundly jealous. She felt alone, lonely to the point where she so not nicely asked the gruff blonde who sat next to her in class out. The boy - Kristoff, she knows him because he sits next to her, had at that time blinked wide-eyed at her and said am entirety of one word to her. No.
Rapunzel at laughed at her then, and she had hesitantly confessed that she too wanted the same kind of closeness that the other girl had with Flynn, Eugene, whatever. The blonde girl had merely given her am kind look and a warm hug and had assured her that her Prince Charming would come to her after all, she just needed to be a little patient - he probably had taken a long toilet break on the way.
And that's what Rapunzel said to her again, five months later when the newly made quarterback, Hans West, had not so subtly started hanging out with the three of them, going as far as to even start offering Anna drives from school to home. Later that evolved into picking her up from home and taking her out on dates.
She was ecstatic when he finally asked her out, days before the homecoming dance. And when she said yes, she thought back to all the things that she loved about him - the way he loved the same sandwiches as she did, the way he was so chivalrous, picking up her things for her, opening the door for her, walking her to class, the way he absolutely loved horses too. She felt like a warm pudding around him, and Rapunzel finally declared her in love and she took the leap into his arms.
She was in the clear, at least for some time. That year had a much better ending than the start, and she was glad. Nevertheless she still worried about something being not quite right and right after a nice dinner with Hans and her family, she brushed it off as dating jitters.
If dating Hans was a feeling comparable to having a warm jacket and scarf in a pleasant winter night, then seeing her was feeling naked in chilly Arendelle winds.
The moment she entered in, Anna warm mushy feelings erupted into a tumultuous storm. Her stomach heaved with the force by which she'd been blown off by the wrath of her own repressed feelings. And once again she felt herself lost, surrounded again by people she wanted but didn't really want as much as she did her.
It was a beautiful start to the new year. She was a sophomore, that was one year above the timid freshman, and she was ecstatic!
Her mum had waved her off as she entered Hans beautiful convertible. Her dad had already given his kisses the night before; he had to go to work rather early and wouldn't see her off. Olaf had once again tried to sneak himself into her backpack and she for the millionth time had deposited the fluffy cat into her bedroom, all the while messaging Rapunzel about the cheer tryouts.
And then after a rather excited kiss from her boyfriend, whom she playfully pushed away while mock-glaring at his pouting face, they finally set off.
They met up with Eugene and her cousin near her locker and she once again groaned mentally as Flynn practically annoyed Hans; she never understood why Eugene had never once been cordial with the red-headed boy. She assumed it was something to do with football.
"Guess what?"Rapunzel asked after all the pleasantries had been exchanged and Hans and Flynn had waved them bye to go to their football meeting.
"What?"She asked hesitantly. Knowing Rapunzel this was one of the more decent gossips rather than the frivolous kind the other cheerleaders were always going on about.
"You know Jack Arendelle? The Mayor's son?"
Anna smiled nervously at that. She never really had that much interest in politics. But like everyone else of Arendelle, she knew the ill-tempered son of the aristocratic family, the one who had been involved in the charge of damage to property filed by The West Enterprises.
Also, she knew all that because the handsome, stony faced blonde who practically had elf-like features had destroyed one of Hans' elder brother's Porshe.
Hans was more amused than angry at the situation but had also expressed his disregard and little respect for people who thought they ruled others because of their family riches. He also added that at least he, being a son of another influential family, knew that he was nothing and had to earn his rights by working and that he also donated to the poor.
"Yeah. Everyone does. What about him?"She shut her locker and waited for Rapunzel to get her stuff from hers.
"Yeah well. He and his twin sister are transferring here from Cornwell High."
Anna hummed at this, disinterested.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really!" Punzie looked affronted. "Why aren't you so bothered about this?"
Anna furrowed her brows. "Why should I be bothered at all?"
Punzie sighed.
"You're right. You never really cared for the guy as it is."
Anna giggled at this. She knew why the blonde girl was so enamored by this piece of news.
"So what does Flynn have to say about this crush of yours?"
Punzie colored beautifully and Anna couldn't help but chuckle at the girl.
"It's not a crush! I just find the guy weirdly handsome!"
"And don't forget you also practically stalk the guy."Anna smirked as she leaned against the adjacent locker. "Do I have to remind you the wall full of new paper cuttings and snap shots and computer article printouts that you had? God knows it took an intervention from your mother for you to give up that madness!"
"Oh just shut your trap, will you?" Rapunzel huffed, slamming the locker with more force than was necessary. "It was a pure curiosity based research!"
"Oh! Is that what they are calling it now? I'd still prefer 'stalker'"
Rapunzel rolled her eyes.
"Beautiful Nordic looks aside, did you read about how that car was thrashed? It wouldn't have been possible to do so without a crane or something equally big! And for god's sake, why were there pieces of frost lining the metal?"
Anna sighed. She'd heard all about this. Last year she remembers helping Rapunzel arrange out all her findings and even help out with some of the research. She also remembers drawing the line when a maniac cousin had entered her room though her window and had demanded the girl accompany her to stalk the Arendelle family manor.
And then thankfully Eugene had distracted the girl long enough for her to realize that she was harping on about something for lack of a proper job to do. And that was when she had laid the matter to rest, co-incidentally the court letting the accused go off with a month of juvie and paid damages to the owner. Nothing else was said about the actual crime other than the constantly reappearing stories about Gustav West and Jack Arendelle's epic rivalry.
"Oh please don't start that again, Punzie. God knows how you drove me crazy with that obsession of yours."If only Anna knew how the following few events would make her just as obsessed in the Arendelle. The other Arendelle.
And then just like in those teen movies, the commotion behind them made them halt them in their tracks and turn.
A freshman tripped and fell headfirst in front of the doors. Merely seconds later the laughing crowd hushed as the doors were pushed open and two tall figures walked inside, stark incontrast with their dark leather jackets, hoods behind, faces composed in a way that made them seem cold.
They didn't falter as they made their quick strides around the startled and clearly in awe freshman, never sparing him a glance as they did so.
People parted around them, conversations quietened and mouths dropped.
Jack Arendelle was beautifully handsome. Anna understood now why her cousin was so obtusely enamored with the man. Man. She thought of him as a man even though she knew he was yet a boy. But the title befitted him: the cold eyes, the angled yet strong jaw and the fashionable unkempt and spiky platinum blonde hair and the lithe but clearly muscled body striding with the countenance of a man who knew his worth, almost pompously so.
But if you asked Anna, the twin was the one who had the power of captivating everyone. Similar features etched on a distinct feminine face, shaggy platinum hair, unruly enough to escape from the braid that disappeared somewhere underneath the jacket and the deliciously slim body made the woman a deity. As Rapunzel had quoted about the twin before but it never applied to any human more: a Nodic goddess.
Anna wasn't breathing. She couldn't. The full extent of her repressed perversions had come out with renewed vigor and a face to finally spearhead its attention onto. If there ever was a potential soul mate for her and if that fairy tale notion of love at first sight was ever true, then here was the proof.
Anna knew she had to look away. Look away before her emotions and desires would be the death of her.
But right then the goddess met her eyes. Her own teal eyes traitorously widened, pupils dilating as the cerulean eyes locked onto hers and flashed a dangerous darker blue. If she knew any better she would have averted her eyes and be done with it. But she couldn't.
Barely a moment passed and the twins had gone past her, turning her whole world upside down in just mere seconds.
Still feeling from the whiplash, she struggled to return back to what she was before the interruption. Though she knew, it was futile. She was now forever a changed person.
"Oh my god." Punzie gushed beside her as the hallways once again erupted in mayhem, one that was distinctly different from before and held a tinge of new excitement and befuddlement at the same time.
"Anna. They are here! Oh my god i can't help but be super-excited! I gotta tell Flynn about this too! Oh my god, oh my god, I can't believe Jack and Elsa Arendelle are here at our no good school!I just wish he'd-"
Anna let her drone on and on, her arms linked with Punzie's as she made her way to first class only with one thing in mind.
Her name is Elsa..
And she remembers feeling naked and vulnerable at the brunt of her own feelings.
That was months back.
And after a life changing two months she was a cheerleader, having a quarterback for a boyfriend, surrounded by half the college in terms of friends and yet.
Despite all of that she stills takes a peek at the recluse table. Watches subtly as the twins make their way and barely communicate with one another as they have their lunch.
Despite all of that she watches the other Arendelle unabashedly. In the hallways and even in Literature class when she's supposed to be exchanging chits with Rapunzel and be messaging Hans about some trivial thing just because she can.
Despite all of that, she wants her. The other Arendelle.
Anna knows what they say about wanting things that aren't good for you. And when a walking example of that just walks in, she can't help but feel that just sucks.
