Wow, this HAS to be a record for me. I don't think I've ever updated a story this much in one day! It's awesome! Enjoy!
Two years later.
(Elsa is twenty, as is Hiccup, they've been meeting every night for two years, they've admitted they love each other, and her parents don't die.)
Elsa slipped out of her room at 11:00 and made her way quickly to the docks. She sat on the edge of her favorite dock that was high up, and overlooked the entire spread of the fjords. Hiccup came soon, sneaking up to her and tickling the back of her neck, making her laugh and turn.
"Hey Hiccup." She greeted, and Hiccup sat down next to her, taking her hand in his and dangling his legs over the edge with Elsa.
"So how's life?" He asked, and Elsa sighed, leaning on his shoulder.
"Same old thing. This is the best part of the entire day." Hiccup smiled and put an arm around her. Elsa entwined her fingers, bare of gloves as they have been around Hiccup.
"I have an idea for what to do tonight." Hiccup said, and Elsa straightened up, looking over and asking,
"What?" Hiccup grinned and pointed down.
"Swimming." Elsa raised her eyebrows and looked down at the fjords. They did look inviting. Elsa stood up and pulled Hiccup up, saying,
"OK! Let me go change first, ok?" Hiccup nodded and Elsa ran into a shed, where she took off her coat, shoes, and nightgown. She used her magic to conjure a modest shift, and bundling her clothes up, ran back to the dock where Hiccup was waiting in another tunic and leggings. Elsa raised her eyebrows and Hiccup explained,
"Toothless got them for me." Elsa laughed and threw her clothes onto the dock, muttering playfully,
"Cheater!" Before Hiccup could do anything she ran forward and jumped off the dock, followed directly by Hiccup, and plunged into the deep waters of the fjords. Elsa twirled and swam very gracefully, as if she'd been swimming since she was born, and when they surfaced, Hiccup asked,
"How do you know to swim so well?"
"I come swimming a lot in the winter, when the water is really cold and I can use my powers without anyone noticing. I used to go swimming a lot with my sister when I was younger, but I hurt her, so we were separated. She used to love the way my powers look underwater." Hiccup grabbed her hand and said,
"Show me." Elsa smiled and dove back underwater. She held out her hand and snow began flurrying around, then she pointed her hands downward and snow whirled up around her, making the water whirl. Then the snow stopped and they surfaced again. Hiccup flung his hair away from his face, then swam with Elsa to the shore.
"Wow, I understand why your sister liked the way it looked. It's beautiful." He said as they climbed back to the docks, and Elsa laughed.
"Thanks. You're the only one other than my sister that liked my powers."
"What happened to your sister?" Hiccup asked softly, and Elsa sat down, as they had reached their dock.
"Well, I guess I can tell you. We were playing once, at night, when we were little. I was eight, and Anna was five. She was jumping from snow pile to snow pile as I made them, then she jumped off one before I could make another, and I slipped, falling backwards. She was falling from so high, I freaked out and sent a bolt of ice to catch her, but it hit her head, and it hurt her. The magical trolls healed her, but she didn't have any memories of my powers because they had to take them." A tear from sad memories rolled down her cheek, and Hiccup grabbed her hand, his warmth, as always, comforting her.
"Elsa?" He asked, and Elsa turned towards him, shifting her body to face him.
"Can I kiss you?" Elsa's eyes widened, then she slowly smiled.
"Yes." She whispered, and Hiccup slowly leaned towards her, gently touching his lips to hers. Hiccup gently pushed her, until she was lying on the dock, and Hiccup was over her, kissing her. He stopped soon, and asked,
"Elsa? Can I marry you?"
"I will marry you. With my whole heart. But you have to ask my father." Elsa replied, and Hiccup asked,
"And who may be?"
"King Agdar. I'm princess Elsa." Hiccup looked astonished, and he asked,
"Okay, so I just kissed the Princess of Arendelle, and tomorrow I'm going to ask the king of Arendelle for his daughter's hand?"
"Yep, and you're about to kiss her again."
The next afternoon, Elsa was waiting anxiously for Hiccup to arrive, and she met him outside the Throne Room. She entwined her fingers with his, and after introductions etc, Hiccup said,
"King Agdar, I wish for permission to marry your eldest daughter. I am not of royal bloodline."
"Then I cannot let you marry her." Hiccup looked down, but Elsa stepped forward, ignoring her mother's looks and gestures.
"Father, I am in love with him. I have been for two years now."
"Elsa, remember your place." Her father said angrily.
"No! My place is with my true love! And even if you do not give us your blessing, we shall marry!"
"Elsa your place is in the kingdom, as heir to the throne. Guards!" He called, but Elsa tore the gloves from her hands with venom and threw them on the ground angrily. She looked at her sister, and said loud enough for her to hear,
"I'm sorry Anna. I love you." And she shot ice at the guards, the power of it knocking them backwards. She grabbed Hiccup's hand and they ran out of the castle, out of the village, getting on Toothless quickly and flying away almost at the speed of sight.
Anna's POV when Elsa shot the ice.
Holy cow! My sister has ice powers, a true love, and she just ran away to marry him! That's insane! Why would she have ice powers and not tell me about them? She would have if she could have, I know it! What is going on? I thought as I ran into my room and collapsed on my bed. I sobbed into my pillow for an hour, then turned over and got off my bed.
"She must have written about it in her diary. Now I have to find it." I muttered to myself, and went into Elsa's room. It was unlocked, and I entered. I looked around her room, then opened a trunk that was hidden under her bed. I saw on top a book full of paper that were ink covered. I opened it, untying the knot that kept it closed. Old papers fell onto my lap, and I saw that they were drawings of myself and Elsa young. I was jumping off a pile of snow, a big pile of snow awaiting me. There were several others, then one where I was lying on the ground, my eyes closed, and Elsa was running towards me. Snow lay all around in great heaps, a snowman standing nearby, and the floor was coated in thick ice. I closed the book, carefully restoring the pictures of our childhood, and dug around carefully to try and find Elsa's diary. I found it, and skimmed it, trying to find one about her love. One in particular caught my eye; it was a few months ago, and it read thus.
Dear Diary,
I feel so guilty about not being able to tell Anna all about my powers. But since I turned nineteen, my parents insisted that I keep my powers hidden, even though I knew they were stable and wanted to show her. I've read the passage where I describe my accident with her so often I fear to read it very often now, because the page is so worn. I've copied it onto another page in the diary.
I wish I could tell Anna about Hiccup. Tell her how when he twists his fingers around mine, I feel a tingle of warmth up my spine that I never felt. Tell her how I laugh and am happy with him, how I meet him in secret every night at the docks. I want to tell her about how his auburn brown hair swings when he runs, how it flattens when he flies on his dragon, Toothless, how his smile is so happy and confident, not fear stricken like mine normally is, except when I'm around him. I wish to tell her how when he comes up to me each night, he greets me in a way that's funny, but shows his love. I want to tell her about how he got his prosthetic leg, fighting a giant dragon called the Red Death to free other dragons, how he left Berk because no one appreciated him except the blacksmith who wasn't even related to him. I want to tell her how he touches me sometimes on my back, and my mind gets so fuzzy, but it's a good fuzzy. He and I told each other we love each other, and we do. I love him so much, I can hardly stand to be apart from him. I gave him a lock of my hair in an ice locket, and he gave me a lock of his hair, which I put in an ice locket, and I wear every day. His will never melt or break, so he wears it every day.
Once I was waiting by the docks, and he came up to me, and kissed me on the neck. It felt so...indescribable, like he was supposed to always be touching me. The first night we met at the docks, we laced our fingers together; they fit perfectly together. He ran his finger along my index finger, and I could feel his slightly calloused skin gently rubbing against mine. It was so nice.
Of course we have to restrain ourselves from committing the marital act before we're married, (I don't know when that will be) but other than that we don't restrain ourselves at all. Of course we haven't touched each other inappropriately but we have kissed.
When we first met, Toothless landed before me when I was riding, and he was going to kill me because he thought I was a danger. Hiccup said, "Hi I'm Hiccup, what's your name? Quick!" I told him and he said not to be angry because he couldn't help what he was about to do, then he kissed me. It was a short kiss, but it was the most wonderful thing in the world.
I really want to tell Anna about our second kiss. It was so wonderful. We were flying above Arendelle at 3:00, and we stopped on the North Mountain to watch the sunrise. I almost got caught that time. I turned to Hiccup, and he kissed me. So maybe we opened our mouths a bit, but it was amazing.
I love Anna and Hiccup so much, but I can't tell Anna about Hiccup about my powers, or anything. It was so unfair of our parents to separate us.
Elsa.
Tears had rolled down my cheeks as I read about Hiccup, wishing that I knew him. I flipped through the pages, trying to find the page Elsa had described that told of her accident with me, and I found it, as well as a drawing of herself alone in her room. I read the entire story and grew rather angry at our parents for having done such a terrible thing. I found one passage entirely about Hiccup, and the night she described as the night she would never forget. She and Hiccup had gone ice skating in the winter, and Elsa had made an ice castle in the northern mountains. I made up my mind to go and visit it, one day. I took the trunk into my room, and spent the rest of the day curled up on my window seat, reading with the door locked.
I know! I know! Where are Elsa and Hiccup? They'll be in the next chapter, tomorrow! Okay? Read and Review, that's my motto. :)
