Wrote a Drabble a while ago. Been meaning to write another based off this line: "there'll be magic, there'll be fun." This turned out to be a flop on tumblr, so I thought maybe it could work better as a multi-chap on here.
Rating T, cannon. Angst.
I realize the dialogue is not exact. It's not supposed to be.
There was a time when Anna thought nothing could come between her and her sister. There was a time when she thought Elsa might let her in. There was always that small hope in the back of her mind that she might get to have her older sister back. But that was ages ago.
The coronation was the first time Anna had seen more than a glimpse of Elsa in thirteen years. It was the first time she would speak to her sister, be in her presence, since childhood. A lot had changed, but Anna still felt the same, like a little girl who just wanted her big sister's approval.
Anna was awkwardly forced to stand next to her sister. She felt more nervous then she had in years. Her pulse was pounding in her ears and her palms began to sweat. Elsa stood regally, looking perfectly composed.
"Hi."
Anna startled. "H-hi, hi me?"
Elsa nodded.
Anna felt strange. Her heart seizing in her chest. Finally, the contact she had been longing for.
"You look beautiful." Elsa's compliment was simple, plain, but it meant the world to Anna.
"T-thank you. You look beautifuller, not fuller, just… You look nice." Anna berated herself inwardly. Stupid awkward Anna, couldn't even return a compliment properly.
Elsa repressed a giggle and Anna felt like maybe they could actually form a bond again.
They actually chatted. It was only small talk, but still, it was something. They shared a laugh and acted like sisters. Anna felt happier then she had in years. But then Hans came back and she felt something intensely different- acceptance, maybe even love. A love that would stay with her always if they were wed. She'd never have to be alone again.
"Nobody's getting married."
Anna balked, trying to get Elsa to understand. But her anger got the best of her.
"Anna, what do you know about true love?"
"More then you. You only know how to shut people out!"
Anna realized she had gone too far, but she didn't care. She followed quickly after her sister. She wasn't going to let Elsa escape that easily. She couldn't shut the world out. Not again. She couldn't shut Anna out. Not this time.
Anna saw tears in Elsa's eyes. For the first time in forever.
"I can't live like this anymore."
"Then leave."
Anna rushed forward with determination. Pulling off Elsa's glove and seeing her panic. Anna couldn't suppress the anger that seized her. She couldn't stop. Not now. Not after all these years.
"I SAID ENOUGH!"
And in that moment Elsa was terrifying. But Anna finally understood why they had been forced apart. Elsa fled and Anna followed on her heels. She left everything behind. Her sister rushed for the fjord and Anna followed. It couldn't end like this. Anna wouldn't let it. The years of separation were done. Anna wouldn't have it.
The water froze under Elsa's feet but Anna followed bravely. "Elsa! Stop! We can deal with this together!" At her sister's outcry Elsa paused, stopping dead in her tracks.
"Don't leave." Anna realized she was begging, but what else could she do? "Don't shut me out again."
Anna watched as Elsa fell to her knees and snow began to violently swirl around them as Elsa sobbed. Anna hurried forward through the storm to hug her sister, to hold her close. She wanted to let Elsa know she was there for her. That she was not alone. But Anna slipped and pitched backward on the ice. Unable to catch herself she cried out right before her head slammed against the ice.
Anna's head throbbed and her vision blurred. She felt a warmth beneath her head and briefly wondered if she would die here. Her vision was tunneled as Elsa came into view. "Anna? Anna!" She felt herself being lifted off the ice.
"Anna, please, no…" The last thing she saw before blacking out was the tears crystallizing on Elsa's cheeks. The last thing she heard was Elsa's distressed outcry. "Don't leave me! Anna, please!" And then everything went dark.
Eventual M, starts off T. Thoughts?
