Hi again! Here's another since I took so long on chapter three! This is one of my favorites by the way. Just some cute sister stuff and Elsa struggling with all these feelings.
Enjoy!
Chapter 4 – Sisters
Elsa made it back to the hall upstairs, and hoped that Anna would be in her room. Walking up to her sister's door, she knocked.
"Anna, are you in there?" The door opened.
"Well, well, well. Look who's knocking at my door! Are you here to see if I want to build a snowman with you?" asked Anna playfully.
Elsa laughed. "No, unfortunately not. I'm here to ask you a couple questions."
"Oh, come on in!" Elsa walked in and Anna closed the door behind them. "What do you want to ask me?"
"Well, I think there's something wrong with me," Elsa said, right to the point.
Anna laughed! "Well I could've told you that!" she quipped.
Elsa gave her the "seriously?" look.
"Sorry," she said with a smile. "Continue."
"Look," Elsa went on. "I don't know if I'm coming down with something or what. But it's driving me crazy!"
"Alright, well are you going to tell me the symptoms or what?"
"Well, first I get this weird fluttery feeling in my stomach. Then my face gets really warm which is extremely weird and never happens! And sometimes, I have trouble breathing, and my heart starts racing! And oh, I also have trouble speaking. It's like I know what I'm going to say—sort of— but I can't seem to get it out without stuttering!"
This surprised Anna very much! Not so much the long, fast-paced rant Elsa just had…well, yeah that too. But the stuttering?! Normally Elsa was the prim and proper Queen around people other than her friends! Anna was beginning to put the pieces together. She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it because Elsa interrupted…also weird.
"Oh, and I've started to narrow it down! It only happens whenever I'm around Jack Frost! Coincidence? I think not!"
Anna finally new exactly what was wrong! And she laughed at how Elsa thought it was some sickness.
"So, maybe I'm allergic to his cologne or something. If he even wares col– why are you laughing at me?"
"I'm sorry!" she said through laughter. "Elsa you're so funny! This is completely normal, you're not sick!"
"Anna this is not normal!" Elsa said, flabbergasted.
"You like him! The same things happened to me with Kristoff!"
"What? No! I'm mildly fond of him, that's all! He's just a…friend."
"Uhu, sure. Whatever you say, Elsa." Anna said, drawing out the last part dramatically, obviously not believing her.
Elsa scoffed.
"Elsa trust me! And please don't go to the doctor, you're not sick."
Elsa sighed. "Alright, I won't. Thanks Anna."
"Your welcome! Goodnight, sis!"
"Goodnight, Anna."
Elsa left Anna's room and went to hers. She changed into her night, clothes and flopped onto the bed. Yet, she couldn't help smiling and thinking that Anna might just be right. But of course she'd never admit it!
Soon she fell fast asleep…with dreams of the boy with the snow-white hair and charming blue eyes.
It was about six o'clock in the morning, and the sun had started to rise…
"Elsa? Elsa!" said Anna as loud as she could whisper.
Nothing.
"Elsa!" This time it was more of a half whisper, half yell.
That woke her up. She sat up quickly, being startled out of sleep. Anna had been right over Elsa face, so when Elsa sat up, she hit Anna's head with her own! Anna grabbed her head and jumped back in surprise!
"Ow!" And she jumped so far back, that she fell right off the bed, and landed on the floor with a thud! Elsa shook her head in recovery from the head-butt.
"Anna! Are you okay?" She looked over the side of the bed to see if Anna was alright. Only to find her laughing! Elsa thought about it, and the whole thing was funny! So Elsa ended up laughing too.
After they finished, Elsa helped Anna back onto the bed. "Did you need something, Anna?" she asked sarcastically.
"Yeah," her sister responded, rubbing her head.
"I'm sorry, Anna, I didn't mean to sit up so fast. But you were being loud right in my face!"
"Sorry, but well, the sky's awake so I'm awake!" Elsa smiled at Anna's choice of words. She thought that Anna was going to ask next if she wanted to build a snowman, but… "So you have to tell me about you and Jack!"
"Wait, what?" To say that Elsa was surprised would be an understatement.
"Yeah! How much have you seen him? Is he handsome? What color are his eyes? Does he like sandwiches? What's his-"
"Anna!" Elsa interrupted. "You seriously woke me up for this? I told you, I don't even like him!"
"And I told you: uhu, sure; whatever you say Elsa!" Anna responded.
"I am not talking about this," Elsa said bluntly. "Go back to sleep."
"But I can't! I'm already awake!"
Elsa sighed. "Fine. You can stay in here, but I'm going back to sleep."
With a wave of her hand, snow spread out on one half of the floor. Elsa slid her foot off the bed and stomped on the other half, and ice spread around. Then, she threw her magic into the air, and it exploded like a firework of snowflakes. But no snowflakes, ice, or snow touched Elsa's cozy bed.
"There, build yourself a snowman," she said with a tired smile.
"Yay!"
Elsa was glad that Anna was happy, so she lay down and closed her eyes.
"Wait, you're not gonna to build it with me?"
"No," she responded, almost asleep.
"Awww man!"
Elsa knew she shouldn't, but she opened her eyes and looked at her sister.
"It's no fun all alone!" As Anna said it, her bottom lip stuck out, and she looked up into Elsa's eyes.
Elsa groaned. "Why do I let you do this to me?"
So Anna prevailed, and they built their snowman. And afterwards, they both ended up falling asleep in the snow.
Anna woke up first with a loud shiver. Which awoke Elsa."Brrrr! Never slept on ice before." Elsa just sat up and stretched. Completely content. "I still can't understand how you're never cold!" exclaimed Anna.
As Elsa finished stretching she made this high-pitched squeak! They both looked at each other in surprise! Then they started giggling. Anna never knew that such a sound could come out of her sister!
"Was that me?" asked a surprised Elsa.
"I guess stretching can make you make funny sounds!" Anna responded.
"Guess so. And, to answer your question, though my body—especially my hands—are… well, always cold, I never feel cold. When it's cold around me, my body… I guess just accepts that it's cold. I don't feel the 'Brrrr it's freezing' cold that you talk about. Understand?"
"Yes, thank you for explaining. I always wondered about that."
"Well, now you know." Elsa sighed. "I should probably get ready for breakfast."
"Yeah, me too." Anna replied.
Keep me posted on what you guys think! Requests, coments, critisism, anything is welcome! Like I said in the last chapter, I've got a lot of views, so if you like this story, write something as simple as "more" like one reviewer did. Had me laughin!
Also, I put together a hodgepodge image for the cover, but I'm still hoping one of you amazing artists could hook me up?! :-)
