The True Heir

Chapter 3: The plan

Elsa's POV.

*I'd like to note that most of this will be from Elsa's POV. since she's the main focal point though Anna's POV may show up eventually*

"Elsa..." I hear Anna say but my mind is roaring a mile a minute and I'm too awestruck to answer.

How? Why? What?

I'm adopted...

Why was this kept from me?

What the heck does this mean?

I wanted to pretend that it couldn't be real, that I wasn't adopted, but the more I thought about it the more I realize how it made sense. I didn't look anything like my parents. I didn't have the same features, the same personalities.

And I have powers...

My powers... I wonder if that's where all of this came from...

It's true... I really am adopted...

But what does that really mean?

"Elsa..." I hear Anna say once more but I still have nothing to say.

We just sit there on the bed for a few seconds and let the awkward moment pass.

"You know what this means Anna?" I have to say it, no matter how much I don't want to tell her.

"Don't say it..." I can feel the sorrow emanating in her voice. She knows what I want to say, and she knows I have to. No matter how much I don't want to.

"You aren't my biological sister..." I state with a sense of uncertainty.

"You're right, you aren't my sister, no you are, just not biological, but you're still my sister, wait what?" I love her so much. I can't help but to giggle to that one. Leave it to Anna to be able to make me smile even in this time...

"You know, you're right, but the way you said that is just so... you... I'm going to miss that..." I don't want to admit to her how wrong this feels. I want to be able to tell her that it was all just a prank, that I'm still her true sister, her biological sister, but I can't.

"What are you talking about, Elsa? Nothing's going to change..." How does she know? The people won't want me now. I don't have the birth right...

"Anna... You're the rightful heir. The true heir. You have to take the thrown, I can't rule anymore. I'm not the true heir..." I hate to admit this. I do't want Anna to be the queen. No, I'm not saying that because I don't want to give it up, but because I don't want her to loose her inner childhood spirit. She shouldn't have to deal with all the political dramatics that are associated with being the queen. I don't want her to loose herself.

"I don't have to do anything because we are still sisters. You are still the queen, and you're going to be queen for a long time, okay." I don't know what to say. She knows we aren't blood related, but she still wants to be my sister.

"What about the good of Arendelle?" I question her.

"If they find out, we can approach that later, okay?" I don't know what to say. This could completely backfire on us.

"I guess so, but you have to pretend that you didn't know anything about this if the people find out." She nods approvingly.

"Okay. If that means that I'm not going to be queen then so be it." She doesn't want to be queen?

"Why don't you want to be queen? " I question before I can keep my mouth shut.

"I'm not cut out to be queen. You are! Besides, you're the first born." I'm honored to think that Anna thinks I'm a good queen.

"Thank you, Anna. I don't disagree though you would make a fine queen. I may be older, but I'm not the first born. Technically you are. We aren't even related..." I lead off. I don't want to talk about it...

"We are related..." Anna leads on. I want to believe her with my heart, but I don't think i can.

"Not really..." I don't want to make her feel bad, but it's true...

"Yes we are... Blood doesn't make family.. Love does. Remember, Elsa, love will thaw. We are related, whether by blood or by sisterhood, we are related. We are sisters.." Wow, Anna is making sense!

"I love you, you know that?" She's my best friend.

"I love you too, Elsa." We hug each other for who knows how long, and can't help but think about what she said.

We're sisters.

We may not be blood relatives, but we're still best friends.

We're still sisters and Love does thaw a frozen heart.

A/N: okay.. i'm gonna add more drama soon! hehe hope you guys like this. This story means a lot to me because i'm adopted :) I always wondered why Elsa didn't look like Anna or her parents. Adoption would make sense. Anyway, I hope you guys read. If you have any ideas PM me. Oh, and I will stress the point that family is not defined by blood, nor is it limited to blood.
