The Ball
:/I do not own frozen/ That is all/:
I paced up and down the hallway, it was minutes till I was crowned king. I was nervous, it would be the first time since my parents died that I would be seen in front of a crowd. I knew that my hair was messed slightly from me running my hands through it. I let my fears continue to overwhelm me till I heard the start of the ceremony. I straighten my back and faced the door with the mask I had perfected.
The giant gold doors opened as I saw every face in the hall turned to face me, it was odd but I put on a brave face and walked forward with a look of grace I didn't know I had. I kept my head high and my eyes to the front. I saw my sister standing there in a beautiful dress, it hit me then how much she has grown. The ceremony passed without a hitch expect when I had to take my gloves off and almost froze the staff but thankfully no one noticed. The problem started when we hit the ballroom, I didn't realize how many women were here. Being crowned king was apparently a very attractive factor.
When I was presented as king and my sister as princess everyone bowed low, before continuing on with the party. Anna just stood there looking everywhere but in my direction, I bent down slightly to whisper to her "you look every bit the princess you're supposed to be Anna". She snapped her eyes to meet mine and I smiled down at her as I raised myself to full height and addressed the crowd before me.
I took a few steps forward and spread my arms wide "welcome everyone, I wish to thank you for coming here to celebrate this day. But I also want you to remember the pervious king and queen that should still be here, where they belonged". I took a second to sweep my gaze over the crowd "they would have been proud of not only me but my sister as well, they are proud now. They will forever be watching over us and will forever be in our hearts. Now, if all of you don't mind I'd like to take a moment of silence for our deceased king and queen".
Most of the crowd lowered their eyes in respect and clasped their hands together just as I was, I sent a prayer to my parents, praying for strength to get through this night. When the moment was over I looked back at the crowd and smiled "I hope you all enjoy the party". The music started back up as I walked to the throne that was now officially mine.
I have to admit I was starting to get tired of all the people I had been congratulated by, I hated being crowded and that was what was happening. Then I heard my sister voice shout out to me and I turned to see an odd site. My sister was clinging to the arm of a man that I had never met or knew to be in my kingdom. "Elliot, I want you to meet Hans of the southern isles. And we wanted to ask you permission to marry" I was shocked my sister had ever met the guy and she was asking me if she could marry him. The shocked look must have showed on my face because they both started talking at once, which made it very hard to follow.
I held my hands up at the brothers coming to stay at the castle part "ok, you both have to slow down, nobody's brothers are coming to stay at the castle and nobody is getting married". My sister had our mothers temper so I wasn't surprised when she spoke up "why not" which glaring at me was spat out by my sister. I shook my head and took a slow step back "you cannot marry a man you just met Anna, it's not right" she stared at me before saying "you can if it's true love which I can tell you I feel for Hans" I started to get frustrated "what do you know about true love, all you know how to do is shut people out and how to hide behind doors. Because you're afraid of what you feel you have always been afraid Elliot but don't make me suffer the same as you choose to do, let me be free Elliot please bless our marriage". My hands had started shaking even my sister who I loved very much thought me to be a coward, that struck me deep my heart started to hurt and I could feel my hands becoming cold.
When I had said my finally no, Anna kept going when I tried to walk away, I knew that I had to get out of that room before something bad happened and somebody got hurt. As I was walking away Anna continued to yell at me before she reached for my hand and managed to grab ahold of my glove and pull it off. Now, I was sure I had to leave but before I got to the door Anna made a grab for me again and my hand flung out and ice flowed from my hand creating a barrier between me and the crowd. I let myself look around for only seconds before I flung the door open and just ran.
