ISA'S P.O.V
"Isa…who is Lilly?"
It was a simple question, innocently asked. Elsa must've had no idea what it meant…she couldn't of …otherwise she wouldn't have asked it.
My breath hitched and stilled, burning in my chest. I could feel the tears start to prickle in my eyes, and I turned away from her. Trying to shield myself…to protect myself from those harmful memories.
"H-how do you know that name…?"
"Ren…he said that you-"
"REN HAS NO RIGHT TO SPEAK OF HER," I snarled, whirling around to glare at her with glazed rage filled eyes.
"Isa calm down! he just-"'
"NO!" I barked, spit flying from my mouth as the rage simmered and the fire boiled and flared inside me.
Unbeknown to me flames had sprung froth from my palms, and the long flickers of plasma grew and licked up the side of my arms up to my elbows.
I continued to stare at her, my eyes narrowed with an accusing hate.
"Isa…please i'm sorry but you need to-"
"I NEED TO WHAT?"
"DO I NEED TO CALM DOWN? TO FORGET?" I snapped, raising a flaming arm up to pull at my hair desperately.
A small quiver of movement caught my eye and I watched as the queen flinched at my sudden movement.
She's….she's scared of me. I've….. frightened her.
The thought instantly sobered me. My flames died out with a sigh and puff of smoke. My hands loosened their grasp on my curls and fell uselessly to my side.
My eyes watered and felt my heart break all over again.
"I'm sorry….."
XXXXXXX
"There's nothing to apologize for," She said smiling as she patted out the last embers of her favorite dress.
"I know that was you're favorite one Lilly. I'm sorry i'll get you a-"
"No stop it," she said, chuckling as she stood up from the charred remains of fabric to walk towards where I sat anxiously at the bed.
I grinned like a fool as the small woman sat herself down onto my lap and strung her hands behind my neck and intertwined them.
"Its the damn dress's fault anyways," she said, a smile rivaling my own beaming down at me.
"Oh? How so?" I chuckled.
"Well the darn piece of scrap wouldn't come off fast enough for one," she said giggling.
A deep chortle resonated from me and I nuzzled into her neck. Burying myself deep into her chestnut hair I laughed while inhaling her comforting scent.
"We'll just have to get you another then." I reasoned, from within my place hidden place.
"Yes, one with less buttons!' She said and I laughed again.
I felt her tremble with mirth as she laughed and I pulled myself away from her to stare into her captivating green eyes.
I watched the corners crinkle as she smiled at me, and an infectious grin spread itself upon my own face.
"I love you," I whispered softly.
Her eyes sparkled and her smile couldn't get any larger.
"I love you too."
XXXXXXXXXX
"Lilly was…nothing. She was no one," I breathed, my voice cold and hollow.
"That's not what -"
"She was nothing in the eyes of the court and my family….but to me…..…to me she was everything."
