"Elsa? Please, I know you're in there. People are asking where you've been. They say have courage, and I'm trying to. I'm right out here for you, just let me in."
The tears rolled silently down my cheeks, leaving twin trails of ice.
"We only have each other, it's just you and me."
Hot liquid dripped, ever so slowly.
"What are we gonna do?"
Ice crept across the ground, devouring.
"Do you want to build a snowman?"
Anna was silent for a time. Oh how I hoped she would leave. Would go, protect herself from me. I couldn't be near her. Not after…
A person can only take so much. So much of their duty before they break. After all, what good is duty, if all it brings is pain, suffering and isolation. That crushing, all encompassing loneliness. At the sound of that first choked sob, I felt a fracture. The sound cut straight to my heart, splitting through the walls of ice, walls I made to protect Anna. My parents. Everyone.
My eyes drifted downwards, finding the colour I loved so much. Red. It reminded me of her… So very much. Enough to drive another fissure through me.
Yet even this would not be enough. Those walls were tall and thick.
The second sob was what it took. I had never heard Anna cry. Never before. That second choked, agonic sound split me. Tore apart all my defences. It exposed me, in all my selfish need.
The door was open before I registered my actions.
There she was. My sister. Anna.
For the first time in years, I was seeing my sister. My love.
"Anna…" I choked.
She turned, her eyes regarding my arms with shock, before she looked into my eyes. She pulled me close and we wept together, lamenting the fates. Through the tears, I could see her hair. That beautiful red…
'I don't need the pain to see her any more.'
A/N: More kinda grim stuff. If you make it all the way though to here, thanks. Any reviews to help me with my writing would be much appreciated.
