Today was slightly different. Elsa came out of her icy room and walked down the empty halls until she came to Anna's room. "This is ironic," she thought as she knocked on the door and asked "Can I come in? Anna opened the door a crack. Her eyes were red from crying. She looked at Elsa, nodded and motioned for her to come in. Anna sat on the bed and muttered "What is it," Elsa felt tears come to the eyes that Anna couldn't meet. "Anna…" What is it?" she snapped back. Elsa took a deep breath. "Anna, I have to join the troops tomorrow," Anna looked up at her sister and sobbed, "I knew you were going to say that, but I didn't think it would be this soon!" Anna looked down and began to hug her arms. Elsa didn't know what to say. She sat down on Anna's bed and gave her a hug. Anna didn't return it. "If I…When I…If anything…Anything happens to me you'll be in charge." Anna didn't respond. "I expect you to work hard at your studies while I'm gone." Still no response. She stood up and walked over to the door. "I love you." She started to walk through the door but stopped when Anna said suddenly, "You're not coming back, are you?" Elsa turned around and looked at Anna. "I should go instead. I can do it and they won't be expecting it. Please…Don't go…." Elsa was shocked. "Anna, don't be silly! No, don't cry. Oh Anna." Elsa rushed to her sister's side and held her close. "Anna, I have to go but I promise you this," she said standing up, "I will come back, be it armless, legless or perfectly fine, I will come back!" "Yeah, right!" Anna ran out of the room, leaving the once mighty snow queen standing, broken in a blizzard of her own design.
Dark isn't it! Anna seems a bit out of character, but do you know how hard it is to write a serious, sad Anna?
