The Reunion
A/N- So here we are finally! I wonder if you guys would appreciate an epilog filled with Elsanna Smut or not? Let me know in the review section. But all in all, this story is complete.
I thank all of you for your wonderful reviews and likes. It meant a lot to me because this was my first Elsanna fanfic. And I fully intend to write more.
Elsanna forever ;)
"When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you" ~Coldplay
My eyes slowly adjust to the surrounding light. A familiar sweet voice calls my name.
"Anna! Oh, thank goodness!"
I manage to utter one word- "Elsa…."
"Yes, Anna. I'm here. I'm right here beside you."
"Tell me that this isn't a dream." I whisper still not accustomed to the surrounding.
I blink one or two times so that the haziness fades away. And slowly I see the enchanting immortal sitting right next to where I am laid down. Where am I anyway?
I take in the surrounding and see SNOW. Everywhere! The trees having ice crystals. Little snowmen playing in the snow. All of them resembling Olaf. What is this place?
"Let me show you that you're not dreaming."
All thoughts vanish when I feel a pair of soft and supple lips pressed against mine. The familiar taste of mint and rosemary. A curious tongue enters my mouth and dances with its companion. A soft moan escapes from my lover's mouth and even though I am weak, I feel the sudden urge to take her then and there. But soon the kiss gets over and I sit back up and look at her.
She looks at me with hooded eyes and says.
"I knew you would taste like chocolate."
I see a tinge of desire in her eyes and I feel a sudden sensation in my groin. A sudden urgency.
God! She looks so delectable.
But I push aside all these thoughts. Maybe we will both ponder on it later. But for now, I need to ask her so many things. My curiosity wins over my desire for now.
"Where are we?"
She smiles at me and replies,
"You already know."
I know? Do I? I have never been in this place. This place looks like an island from the seashore visible at a distance. Island?
Oh, my! This is the island where Goddess Skadi resides. And since Elsa is her daughter. So….she must have been to this place from the day she faked her death.
"Why?"
"Why what, Anna?"
"Why did you fake your death? Why did you make me feel so paralyzed and numbed? Did you even realize how much it will pain me?" my voice quivers.
"Anna, I am sorry for everything. I really am. I never meant to hurt you. But I couldn't risk your life."
"Risk my life?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"Ever since summer returned to Arendelle, the news spread quickly that I have powers. Many people were intrigued to know the origins of such powers. Amongst them were men with genuine curiosity and men with ulterior motive like Hans. Kristoff being a wonderful yet naïve man slipped the information of my origin unintentionally to one of the men of the Duke during your birthday party when he was drunk."
"Kristoff knew?!"
"Yes. The trolls are his family. So he knew from the very beginning that we are not sisters."
"But why didn't he tell me?"
Elsa gave me a knowing smile and continued,
"Because he loves you, Anna! He thought this information might trigger the feelings buried deep within your soul. He was jealous of the potential love."
Am I that obvious? Everyone noticed my love for Elsa. Even Kristoff. Except me.
"So why did you invite the Duke in the first place?"
"I didn't invite him, Anna. But I couldn't stop people of Weselton attending your birthday party. Weselton was our ally after all and supported us in trade and commerce after the signing of peace treaties."
Oh! Something related to business. But anyways,
"So what happened after that?"
"That person was a sorcerer and the right hand of the Duke. The Duke still felt humiliated after we closed the major trades with him. Filled with anger, he used the leaked information in his favor. He came to know about the fact that only a powerful sorcerer or someone equivalent could kill me. So he assigned him to take away my life. But he warned him that nobody should come to know about the conspiracy."
That old freaking man! How could he…?
"I didn't know anything about it at all. Until my real mother appeared one day and told me everything. After the birthday party, you took care of me. Gave me medicine and went to the kitchen to prepare soup for me with your own hands."
"Yes, how could I forget that day?"
"When you returned, I was a completely different person. I knew everything. And the conspiracy. My mother had appeared in that interval of time to reveal the truth."
So that's why she was behaving so differently. Different. But good different. Her hugs and caresses had become a little bit intense after that.
"My mother had warned me that he had cast a spell on the person I truly love because that will make me weak and fragile. The enchantment of death. And this enchantment could only be broken if someone died instead of you."
So….that means….Oh my God!
"I took the curse on me but since I am immortal, it made me unconscious for a day and nothing more."
You did it for me?
"Even if I would have been a mortal, I would have taken this curse anyways and would have died instead."
I feel tears forming in my eyes.
"Hon, please don't cry!"
She hugs me and squeezes me tightly. Oh, Elsa! I love you so much.
I kiss her lovingly and she returns me in kind. Slowly we pull apart.
"I love you so much." I whisper.
"I love you too, Anna." She coos. For the first time in forever, she finally says what I wanted to hear for so long.
Another fit of tears escapes but I control myself as she holds me close to her heart and continues with the remaining story,
"Afterwards, I came to know from my mother that you're stuck in the diary watching my memories. Meanwhile, I found the sorcerer and froze him to death. Anybody who will try to harm you, will become the prey of my wrath and soon die. And now I will close all contracts of business with Weselton forever. "
"My mother changed the course of time and wiped the minds of the citizens in Arendelle so that nobody realizes the absence of their Princess and death of the Queen. But at least, because of this chaos, we both accepted our love for each other. So love triumphed again!"
I look at her and she looks back. And I know we both are on the same page!
"Let's go back to Arendelle, my Sunshine."
"With pleasure, my Snowflake!"
"I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong, I will be faithful
'Cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me" ~Cascada
