Dear Anna,
I'm scared – It's true, I am a coward.
Father and Mother are going on a trip, and I'm scared to watch them go, scared to say goodbye, scared to hug them – scared that anything could happen to them.
And I'm scared to say goodbye with you – what if my powers make an appearance? What if you notice the distance I have established with our parents?
But most of all, I'm scared of being alone with you.
I've been shutting you out for so long, I no longer know how to interact with you, and even if I did, what of my powers.
Two weeks alone, during which mother and father won't be here to guide and council me, to teach me, and I will truly be alone.
I know that you love me, and that you'll be just outside the door, if I ever dare to open it, but it's just not the same.
They know. They remember, and that simple fact has saved me over the last few years. If I were to let you in, anything could happen – and you do not know, or understand, why I do things the way I do. It would only be a matter of time.
Anyhow, I'm sorry Anna.
I know you wanted us to say goodbye together, and I'm sorry that it will not happen.
I know that you'll be even more lonely while they're away, and that you still don't know why this castle is so dark and empty – why the doors are closed.
And I know, that at some point over the next two weeks you will try to get me to spend time with you, and that I will shut you out.
But know this, Anna, I truly love you, and everything – EVERYTHING – I do while mother and father are away, will be done to protect you.
I still love you Anna – you're still the little sister I used to climb trees with in the garden and make snowmen with in the ballroom.
I miss you
Elsa
