A/N: I'd like to start and explain that this fic is in no particular order at all and will be broken into a couple different sections: Past, Present, and Future. Past will be either Elsa and Anna as children, or it will be them in a past life {Like cannon time line (or like 1950s) vs. 2014}, Present will be them as ages between 16-25, and future will be them as the get older or them in a future life {like 2014 vs 2070 ect.}. But it doesn't mean that the each section is connected to other stories {Unless it says Part A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 ect... So its like a series of one shots.
Present
Anna looked down at the grass bellow her feet as the rain drizzled around her, like Mother Nature understood the gravity of Anna's current situations and instead of mocking her it embraced her in the only way she knew how to. It felt like an 'I'm sorry.' and at that time Anna forgave Mother Nature, but only for a brief second because it still didn't change what was happening. Everything felt odd like she was still having a nightmare that started a month ago, the black knee high dress she was wearing felt odd under her shaking hands, the simple motions of her parents holding her hands felt over exaggerated and unreal. However, the rain was there to tell her it was real, that she was indeed attending Elsa's funeral, and the voice coming through the speakers told her it was her time to talk.
With a few uneven steps that seemed to take an eternity to take, Anna was on the stage and shaking horribly as she looked down at the beautifully decorated icy-blue casket that was on display in front of the elevated stage. The redhead in grief was looking down at her index cards and froze up, everything she had written down was being wiped away by the rain that made the ink run down the white cards, much like her tears made her mascara run down her sickly cheeks.
"Elsa.. " She tried to say but got choked up as she looked over at Elsa parents who were sitting next to hers. "She-she... She told me, no.. she taught me so much. She taught me what it means to be at peace, she taught me to think of others instead of myself, she taught me how to really see the world." Anna said sand wiped her tears away with the edge of her sleeve. "She was teaching me to sacrifice things I want for what others need. She taught me not to be mad at Mother Nature takes someone I love. I'm trying really hard right now Els.. I am.. but how could she take you so early?" She asked, feeling anger and sadness raise up in her body and her voice crack as she tried to deny her tears from falling. Half of her wanted to leave entirely and half of her wanted to open the casket and crawl in with her blonde beauty, reality was hitting her hard in places she wasn't sure how to fix. "You were such a great person Els. You actually tried, you.." she was cut off by an unanticipated stab of heartbreak but she tried to continue on. "You always said this would happen one day, but I tried to deny and like a stupid child I believed that if I couldn't hear it or believe it wouldn't happen, and I'm MAD." Anna said as she started to break out into a sob. "I'm mad that it was you, I'm mad at the world, I'm mad at you for leaving, I'm mad that I couldn't say good bye, and most of all I'm mad that it wasn't me." She said shaking as she felt empty, she wanted Elsa right now. She wanted to ask her so much, she wanted to be with her one more time, she wanted to say I love you, she wanted to feel Elsa's warmth one last time.
Anna couldn't talk to anyone that day, she just wanted to be with Elsa, and every once in a while she would turn to her left to say something but the chair was empty, Anna would reach out to grab the soft hand but was met with hard metal. When the funeral was said and done Anna simply walked over to Elsa's grave stone and sat down near it and lied down shortly afterward and slid her left hand over the overturned dirt and looked up as she let tears run down her cheeks, Anna had decided to fast for week in honor of Elsa, and the lack of sleep wasn't necessarily her choice, so her cheeks were hollow and under her eyes were dark circles compared to her sickly white freckled skin. Anna had so many question to ask Elsa and she wanted to talk to her, but she knew that Elsa wouldn't be able to answer.
"Don't move on too quickly okay? Or else I can't meet you in our future life." Anna said with a sad smile as she looked over at the empty air to her left. "And, promise me that, next time we meet you'll teach me how to not be so mad at everything the next time you go okay?" she asked and laughed a little sadly and then looked up and bit her lip softly. "Or better yet, next time you go after me because.. I'm not so sure I can handle this again." she said, there was fear in her voice. "I know its not your fault, but how the hell can you go so young Els? Why did She have to take you now?" she asked, her left hand trying to grab for a non-existent hand. "I was supposed to be wearing white today Els, not black." she said frustratedly and wiped the snot that was coming out, Anna decided she was an ugly crier at that time and moment. "Your dad was supposed to be giving you away to me and not Her today." Anna said and took a deep breath in as she looked up at the newly dry sky. "Next time don't leave me.. Please." she said and covered her eyes with her right arm. After a moment of silence she got up and put her hand on the gravestone. "And Mother Nature, next time... Please let it be me? I know she's probably yelling and telling you that you shouldn't... but I really need her.." She said looking at a tree and smiled sadly, she looked down at Elsa's grave and wiped her tears away for the millionth time today. "No matter what world, what life, what universe, I will always find you." Anna said softly before allowing herself to leave her dead fiance`.
Anna lived the rest of her life wearing her engagement ring, she got into a few relationship but none of them got too serious, they were all so different from Elsa in all the bad ways, none of them understood why Anna refused to part with her ring, or why she prayed to nature, or why she forgave so easily. Elsa spoiled Anna in the gift of love and she had gotten to used to that love to accept the others, Anna expected the kindness out of people that Elsa gave, but knew she would never get it, she worked on not being mad all the time.
The redheaded woman sat in front of Elsa's grave, facing the tombstone with a small smile on her face as she played with her engagement ring and laughed nervously as she looked up slightly then back down. "I know its been a long time, or maybe to you.. You probably think I visit too much." Anna said swallowing hard as she rearranged the flowers that she had brought. "I can already hear you saying 'You shouldn't hold onto things from your past.'" She said as she braided the stems together. "But I have to, because I'm afraid that if I don't hold onto you, that I'll forget you, or you'll forget me, I'm not sure at this point." she said softly as she tried to get the hair out of her face. "You're still waiting for me right?" Anna asked with a wide smile on her face. "Well next time, next time..." she said sighing happily. "Next time.. I'll say yes the first time.." she said laughing happily. The redhead looked up at the rose bush behind her love's grave and smiled at it. "I finally understand why you took her so early.. She was too kind, too gentle, and the world is too mean for her. The world would have ruined her and crushed her spirits." She said with a small frown that quickly turned into a smile "Thank you.. for taking her. It taught me a lot, she's still teaching me... I'm not mad anymore... But next time.. Take us.. together?" She asked Her. Small tears fell on her dress and she smiled. "I know Els.. You don't like it when I cry." She said and rubbed the grass below her. "I brought you flowers today because it's our 11th anniversary today, the day I finally said yes to the hippy of my dreams." She said laughing and shaking her head softly. "Next time instead of teaching me not to be mad, can you teach me how to live life after you please?"
