How To Freeze Time

by classicalTea

Elsa recedes back into her room after Anna's death. She slowly grows more and more dark, until a familiar knock is heard at her door. This story is about what would happen if Elsa never aged, and outlived her sister. She adopts her niece, and then finds out... Wait a minute, I can't tell you! That would ruin the story! :P

1. Chapter 1

Elsa looked out the window, her heart filled with melancholy. The same magic that had allowed her to live, had taken her best friend from her.

Exactly one year ago, Anna, her beloved sister, had passed away at the age of seventy-one. Elsa, however, still looked young, healthy even. She had the same frozen beauty she had had when she was still in her youth. The staff had come and gone, but Elsa remained. She thought back on the day her sister had gotten married to Kristoff, after they had been together for a couple of years of course, and how Olaf had popped up at the end of the ceremony to ask if they wanted a warm hug.

And then Sven, Kristoff's ridiculous reindeer, had broken his leg. They had tried to fix it, but the poor creature was in so much pain, with lots of tears, Kristoff had his childhood friend put down. It was Anna who got him through. And then, with one death, a life. Elsa was ecstatic over the news that she would be an aunt, and when the baby was born, it made her even happier to see the girl had bright blue eyes and platinum hair. "But you know Anna," she reassured her sister, "She has your nose. And your thick skull."

And then, as the girl aged, so did her parents. Elsa watched as the crippled Kristoff, worked to the bones after many years of hard labor, died of a heart attack at sixty. Elsa comforted Anna, and her niece, as they all adjusted to the loneliness. Olaf, of course, being an animate snowman, would remain as long as Elsa. So when Anna got arthritis, Olaf was there with a song to cheer her up.

And yet, as time grew on, Elsa didn't change. She had been frozen in her youth, and it seemed as though she'd never grow old, or bent and haggard. She'd be the beautiful queen forever. But it isn't good, being torn from the ones you love, and outlive them. And it slowly drove Elsa back into drifted out of her room less and less, until she simply never left. Until there was a familiar knock on the door. "Aunt Elsa?"-taptaptap- "Do you want to build a snowman? I know you're kind of sad. But you know I'm here for you, 'cause we both miss my mum and dad. Something here has happened, that I can't explain. Can you please show me why? I know how to build a snowman. We can go and build a snowman."
