The next morning...
"Elsa. Can you get off me." Anna groaned as she tried to pull her sister's arms off her abdomen.
"Mm...So warm...and cuddly..." Elsa mumbled as her arms actually tightened around her sister's abdomen, much to her sister's dismay.
"Elsa! Get Off!" Anna shouted as she rolled off the bed, bringing Elsa and Lea with her.
"Anna!" They both screamed as they hit the floor. Anna smirked in response as she stood up and walked over to the mirror, Elsa and Lea glaring at her as they stood up as well.
"I thought that we would have arrived in Solaris by now." Elsa commented as she sat back down on the bed.
"We are in Solaris." Anna said as she looked out of a window in the side of the boat.
"What? Since when?" Lea asked.
"Your majesties? Your highness? Are you awake in there?" A voice came from outside the door.
"Uh, yeah. Who are you?" Anna asked.
"Uh, this is General Steyton your highness." Steyton said through the door. "We've been in Solaris for around 8 hours now."
"Oh, where's William?" Lea asked.
"He's in the castle your majesty. He's been here since we arrived. He informed me to come down and wake you all up." Steyton said.
"Well, thanks to Anna we're awake now." Lea said as she frowned at a giggling Anna.
At the castle...
"It's about time you girls woke up." William said as the three females entered the dining room.
"Why didn't you tell us we arrived last night?" Lea asked as she sat next to her husband.
"You lot were asleep. The last time I forcefully woke you up during the night, you hit me on the head with a candlestick holder." William said.
"You pulled me off the bed and on to the floor." Lea mentioned as she lay her head on the table. She looked across the table to see Anna doing the same thing as well, Elsa looking between the two of them.
"So, anyway...is there any update on Lionheart or the snow queen?" Anna asked William as she started eating...Anna-style, to her sister's embarrassment.
"I'm afraid not." William said. "I believe that the queen of Sweden will be arriving sometime within the next fortnight. Hopefully, the snow queen takes longer to reach here."
"If she even reaches here. She might not know that we have left, or she may not come after us." Anna said optimistically.
"I seriously doubt that. It'll only be a matter of time before she and another ice army arrives here, but when she does, oh she won't know what hit her." William said with a chuckle. "So don't worry girls. Solaris has never lost a war and I'll be dammed if it loses this one."
A few hours later...
"Hey."
"Oh. Hey Lea." Anna said as she rested on her sister's side. They were both in the Solarian library, because Elsa wanted to, and the elder was busy reading a book, while the younger just annoyed the other. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, William is busy doing some military duties and he told me to take a break because of what has been happening for the last week." Lea said as she sat on a chair next to Elsa and Anna.
"Oh...you wanna play a game of chess?" Anna asked causing Elsa to snort. "What?"
"Anna. You are horrible at chess." Elsa said as she finally looked up from the book she was reading. "You once lost after five minutes."
"Only because I didn't have my logical mind on." Anna said.
"You have a logical mind?" Elsa asked with a giggle causing her sister to pounce on her and tickle her. "Ah! No...Anna stop. Ha!"
Lea watched in amusement as Anna tickled Elsa to the ground.
"Anna! I will dump a pile of snow on your head!" Elsa threatened as she tried to stop Anna from tickling her, and failed badly.
"Come here!" Anna squealed as her sister attempted to run away, only for her to catch up with her moments layer and tackle her to the ground. Anna and Elsa only stopped when they heard a small sniffle from nearby. They looked up and saw a tearful Lea looking at them.
"Lea?" Anna asked as she approached the Solarian queen. "Are you alright?"
"Oh...um...yeah. I'm fine." Lea said as she smiled at them.
"Lea...there are tears in your eyes. Now I know that there's something troubling you, sister does the same when she's upset." Anna said causing Elsa to stare at her in surprise.
"Its nothing ...really." Lea said as she tried to leave, onto for Anna to pull her force her onto the chair. "Anna!"
"Nope. You're not going anywhere till you tell us what's troubling you." Anna said defiantly as she sat down next to the Solarian queen. "Come on...you won feel better unless you tell us what is making you so sad."
"Anna. Don't force her if she doesn't want to talk." Elsa said as she sat on the other side of Lea. But in fact she was actually quite curious about what could have set Lea off, though she was not willing to admit it.
"Actually, I've been holding it back for too long. Maybe, I need to finally tell someone else about it..." Lea said causing Elsa and Anna to look at each other.
"Something else? Ooh...you have more than one type of power?" Anna asked with a giggle.
"No..." Lea said as she playfully pushed Anna. "Its actually got something to do with my...um...my past."
"Oh."
"Actually, you probably don't want to hear it..." Lea said as she tried to stand up again. This time both Elsa and Anna pushed her back down as they looked at her, curiosity on their faces. "I guess you do...so..."
Lea tried desperately to hide her laughter since Anna and Elsa looked like a couple of children about to be told a bedtime story.
"Well...um...you know, ever since I have met you two, there was one thing that I have been envious of..." Lea said.
"What's that?" Anna asked.
"Your sisterly relationship." Lea said as the slight smile on her face faltered.
"What do you mean?" Anna asked. She gasped when she thought she knew what exactly she meant. "Oh. You've wanted a sister?"
Elsa shot a questioning look at Anna as Lea shook her head.
"Hey. You can tell us...we're friends...and that's what girls do..." Elsa said.
"Well, I'm jealous of your sisterly relationship...because I used to have a sister myself." Lea said causing Elsa and Anna to look at each.
"You have a sister? Wait, what do you mean used to?" Anna asked.
"Well, what I'm about to tell you, I haven't told anyone else except William before..." Lea said.
"Don't worry. We won't tell anyone else." Anna said.
"Well, I...I wasn't the only person who had magical powers in my family before. I had an elder sister who was five years older than me. Me and her was pretty much like how you and Elsa are like now." Lea said. "We were never separated unlike you and Elsa, but we loved each other nonetheless. Anyway, while I was born with the powers of healing, my sister, Iliana, was born with the powers of geokinesis. The powers to control nature and stuff. My parents regarded my powers as heavenly, even though I could only heal minor cuts and bruises, yet they somehow regarded my sister's powers as dangerous."
"Anyway, I always told her that no matter what they think, i would always think of her powers equal to what I think of mine. She always used to make these little flowers spring out of anything, and always gave them to me or wove them into my hair. Not many people knew about our powers except my parents and our servants since magic wasn't exactly...though well of in our kingdom. Then, one day, my mother left on a diplomatic mission to another kingdom...but she never came back."
Elsa and Anna just listened in shock as Lea continued on.
"The minute my father caught word of our mother's death, he came to our room and immediately started to blame us. The news said that our mother had died from an attack by wolves, and my father automatically assumed that it was my sister's doing. He then took it out on me as well, saying that it was my fault that mother died because I hadn't saved her with my powers."
"How could you have saved her?" Anna asked. "You didn't know what happened till it was too late!"
"That's what I told him. He responded by hitting me on the face. My sister was infuriated by this and used her powers to attack my father and knock him out. When she had seen what she had done, she thought of herself exactly want you thought of yourself when you said you struck Anna in the head."
"A monster..." Elsa muttered.
"You're not and you never will be..." Anna said to her sister, causing her to smile.
"Iliana thought that she had killed him. So she started to run...and I ran with her, even though she told me to stay, since I promised that I would never leave her side. So, we both fled. I was around eighteen at this time and my sister was twenty three, so we weren't entirely inexperienced. But our powers weren't very powerful either since our parents knew little about magic. As we ran into the forest we could here the guards screaming that we were wanted and to hunt us down for treason. We eventually outrun them but they would still find us unless we completely escaped the kingdom. So, we took refuge in a nearby cave for days until we could figure out what to do. I suggested that we go to a nearby kingdom but Iliana said that they would probably be looking for us there as well."
"So, we lived in the forest for about two weeks before we started to head south, hoping to find someplace with shelter or some proper food, since we had been living of vegetables and we didn't exactly like that. So, we found this shack and we stayed there overnight. That is when he found us..."
"Who found you?" Anna asked.
"Our father. He found us because he and two men just happened to pass by and see the light, and since they knew it was abandoned, they checked it out and found us. We tried to run but they just stopped us. My healing powers can't be used as a weapon so I was defenseless as my father and the two men surrounded me. That is when Iliana used her powers to protect me, but ended up striking the men in the process. So, my father grabbed his sword and tried to swipe at my sister."
"WHAT?" Elsa and Anna screamed in unison. Wait kind of father would try and kill his own daughter.
"She was only trying to defend herself. We were both scared. She accidentally shot a vine at one of the mercenaries who tried to hit me. She was only meant to subdue him, but because she was angry, the vine instead hit him in the chest with such force that it killed him. My father took it as a chance to strike her..." Lea stopped as a tear rolled down her cheek. Elsa and Anna looked at each other, dreading how they had just made this day extremely painful for the Solarian queen, as if the last week wasn't painful enough.
"The sword went straight through her chest." Lea cried as she remembered exactly what happened.
"Papa please..." Iliana cried as she retreated to the wall.
"Monsters don't beg for mercy!" The king shouted as he lifted his sword.
"LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BASTARD!" Lea screamed as she kicked one of the men holding her.
"You Bitch!" The man shouted as he hit her on the face, knocking her to the floor.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER!" Iliana screamed. With one swift gesture, she shot out a vine at the guy that had hit her sister. Her eyes widened in horror as the vine hit the guy with such force, that it slammed him against the wall, killing him instantly. The other man and the king just stared in shock.
"You murderer...YOU MONSTER!" The king shouted as he lifted the sword and prepared to swipe. The other man picked Lea off the floor and hit her again, before throwing her on the floor. Iliana looked between the king who was about to strike her with his sword, and the man who was attacking her sister. She made her decision instantly.
Iliana shot a vine at the man beating Lea, just as the kings sword impaled her in her abdomen, causing her to gasp in surprise.
"ILIANA!" Lea screamed as she watched her sister collapse onto her knees.
"Burn in hell witch!" The king spat before he turned to Lea. He grabbed the dagger from his pocket and approached the eighteen year old Lea as the remaining man held her down. Lea just sobbed as the man she once called her father, approached her with a dagger.
Lea closed her eyes as the king raised the danger and prepared to strike. It was only when she heard two loud bangs that she looked up. She gasped when she saw the kinking and men lying motionless on the floor, having been thrown against the wall with massive force. Lea looked up and saw her shaking sister, the sword still embedded in her abdomen.
"Iliana!" Lea screamed as she ran towards her sister who was now lying in a pool of blood.
"L...Lea..." Iliana muttered as she winced from the pain. Lea just cried as she watched her sister dying before her very eyes.
"N-No...you...you'll be fine..." Lea said. She placed her hands on the wound and tried to summon her powers but nothing happened. "NO!"
She tried again, yet nothing happened. Iliana just looked at her with sadness in her eyes as she tried to heal her wounds, only for nothing to happen.
"Why...why is nothing happening?" Lea cried as she tried desperately to save her sister.
"Lea...Lea...its alright..." Iliana said as she stroked her sister's hair.
"No...Iliana...please don't go..." Lea cried as her sister's eyes started to close.
"I'll never forget you Lea..." Iliana whispered. "I love you...more than anything..."
"Iliana! Please don't go! Please!" Lea cried as she tried to use her powers again, but she just wasn't experienced enough to be able to heal such a major sound. She had never learned to master her powers to this extent yet. "Please...I love you..."
Iliana smiled as she pulled her sister close and kissed her on the head, before cuddling Lea...
...for the last time...
...as she looked at her baby sister for the last time...
...and took her last breath.
"Iliana...ILIANA! NO!" Lew screamed as she watched her sister's eyes close, her chest no longer moving. Lea broke down in tears as she cuddled her sister, praying to god, begging to any and everyone and every force, that Iliana would wake up, tell her that she loved her again, to feel her sisters heartbeat one last time...
...to hug her one more time...
Lea never left for three days...
Anna and Elsa regretted ever starting this conversation. They had just brought back painful memories for Lea, and turned her into a sobbing wreck. Elsa and Anna had absolutely no idea how to comfort her, because they had never experienced something like this before. Anna knew that her sister nearly died, and that broke her beyond belief, even though Elsa actually survived. Elsa was a sobbing wreck when she froze her sister's heart, even though she survived.
Yet Lea had actually lost her sister, and Anna and Elsa would never know what that felt like because they still had each other, Lea lost her other...and at the hands of her own father...what kind of father was that? They guaranteed that even the most vilest people like Hans wouldn't be so heartless as to kill their own daughter.
Anna just hugged the sobbing queen as Elsa tried to comfort her by stroking her hair.
"I should never have asked you about this..." Anna said. She know knew why Lea was so envious of their sisterly bond, yet it was not the reason that Anna was expecting and it broke her heart completely.
"It needed to be said...its the only way I can remember her..." Lea sobbed as she wiped a tear away. "And I swore that I would never forget her..."
Elsa looked at her sister with a tearful look as well.
"So...It was only when William found me, because he was on a hunting trip, that I finally stood up. I never ate, or drank, or stood up for those three days. I just stayed by her until William entered the cabin with some men when he heard me crying..."
"My god..." William gasped upon with his men upon seeing the scene in front of him. He gasped even louder when he saw the sobbing, shaking form of Lea don't be floor hugging another girl. He quickly ran over to her. "We need some water!"
One of the men gave William a small flask as he offered it to the young girl.
"Hey...what's your name..." William asked as he handed her the bottle. She hesitated at first but eventually accepted it, careful to leave an arm around her sister's abdomen. The men could not comprehend the sight at all. There were three men laying dead on the floor nearby, a crown on the head on one of them. But the sight that really broke their hearts was the sobbing form of a eighteen year old girl, hugging the body of a twenty three year old girl with a sword in her abdomen.
"L-L-Lea..." Lea sobbed as she looked at the young Solarian king.
"Who's she?" William asked pointing to the body Lea was holding.
"She...she...she's my sister..."
At that moment, the hearts of everyone there shattered into pieces. William just kneeled wordless...not knowing what to say. Whatever he was about to say jammed in his throat as he stared pitifully at the young girl.
"What happened?" William asked.
"My...my f-f-father k-killed her..." Lea sobbed as she pointed to the body with a crown...
Everyone just gaped...the situation just took a turn from heart shattering...to...I would die to save her levels...
"I...I'm so sorry..." William said. That was all he could say. "L...Lea...you can't stay here...there's nothing you can do...she's gone..."
"N-No...she...shes alive..." Lea cried harder. William had no idea how to comfort her. How do you comfort someone who had just watched their father kill their own sister?
"Lea...I'm sorry...she's gone..."
"I'm not leaving her!" Lea screamed as she clutched her sisters body tightly.
"I'm not leaving her..."
"She's my sister..."
"William eventually persuaded me to leave...but I only agreed of my sister came with me." Lea said. "So...when we got here...that is when we buried her...and after I told him what happened, he gave me a place to stay and took care of me. I wouldn't be here today of it wasn't for him."
Anna continued to comfort the queen by hugging her.
"Not a day goes by where k don't wish that my powers had just been a little bit stronger...a little more powerful. Since then, I swore that I would not let another good person die...no matter what happens to me." Lea said as she finally stopped crying. "I only have William now. My parents...my sister...William is the only family I have now."
"Yeah...but you've got us...your friends..." Elsa said causing Lea to sob a little more. "Your second family."
"Thank you..." Lea said as both the sisters hugged her.
"Lea?" William asked as he entered the room with Nicholas and Kristoff. "What's wrong?"
"William!" The three girls shouted as the Solarian king approached them.
"What happened?" William asked her.
"I...its nothing. I...I was just telling Elsa and Anna about how we met..." Lea said causing William's eyes to widen.
"Oh..."
"Sorry..." Elsa and Anna said.
"Don't be..." Lea a smile, the first smile she had cracked since the story started. "The past is in the past, and I like to think that Iliana is still with me even now...watching over me..."
"I'm sure she is..." Anna whispered, slightly shocked that Lea was hugging her back as she hugged her.
"And at least I've got two new friends..."
"And yet again, we're invisible..." Nicholas muttered to Kristoff.
"And you two as well..." Lea giggled as she looked up above, knowing that her sister was constantly watching her.
"Iliana...if you can hear me..." Lea whispered to herself. "Please look after Elsa and Anna so they don't have to go through what I went to.."
For a second...
Lea thought she heard...yes...
The first chapter I have written without any violence...
...instead there shall be feels...and a lot of it...
-FrozenFractals: thanks for the suggested names.
-Dannie: the snow queen toys with people's emotions. She attempted to coax Anna towards her side to test if she would (of course she wouldn't...), you know, because she turns people against others and themselves.
-Athena of Wisdom: well, the Concordus isn't affected by Hans' powers, but his powers are also fully isolated, they don't rely on the Concordus which means destroying the book or using it against him won't do s**t!
-WarThunder: yes, yes he is...
Also, this chapter is purely fluff...uh...I mean...um...sisterly stuff with Lea...that'll affect people emotionally. But look at the bright side, I gave Lea a back story! Even if it is an heart wrenching one...
