Wow, you guys seemed to like the last one. I'm glad you did because I enjoy writing these. Here's chapter 2! *Fist-bump*
I won't be alone: Elsa has a nightmare and comes to realize she doesn't have to be alone anymore.
Nightmares have always been a common thing for Elsa, especially since the... accident. She had to force herself to go back to sleep, never getting any comfort; never allowing herself to be comforted. She was so used to it, it hardly occurred to her that she didn't need to do that anymore. Love was the answer.
Elsa woke up with a start, gasping for air. "Anna...," She breathlessly whispered. 'Anna is okay, Anna is okay, Anna is okay.' Sure enough, Anna heard Elsa's cries while she was still ensnared in the nightmare. She was already coming.
"Elsa!" Anna yelled as she burst through the door. "Are you okay!?"
"A-Anna? Is that you?"
"It's me. What happened?"
"I... Nothing."
Anna crossed her arms. "You're lying."
"No... I'm not."
"You hesitated. Come on, Els, be honest with me."
Elsa bit her lip.
Anna patiently waited, not reaching out as she feared that she would break.
Elsa couldn't keep eye contact when she finally responded, "I... had a nightmare..."
Anna looked into her eyes, then leaned forward and kissed her cold cheek. "Thanks for being honest with me." She couldn't help but notice how Elsa immediately felt warmer. 'Love thaws.' "It's okay; I'm okay."
Elsa raised an eyebrow. "How... How did you know the nightmare involved you?"
Anna shrugged. "Sisterly instinct."
Elsa blinked in slight surprised, however, didn't explain her dream.
Anna wanted to know, but decided not to push it.
Elsa suddenly sucked in a shaky breath. "I was alone. It was how the past thirteen years have been, but reversed... You... You shut me out..."
Anna's heart ached. Although she would never think about shutting out her sister, it made sense that those thirteen years had left a scar that, hopefully, she could help heal. "You won't be alone ever again... I won't let that happen."
Elsa's eyes started to water, but said nothing.
"I love you..."
Elsa looked away, not wanting her baby sister to see her cry.
"I'll always love you...," Anna continued.
Elsa broke down, tears streaming down her face. "Anna... I... I..."
Anna pulled her sister into a tight embrace, Elsa having to resistance. "I love you, I love you, I love you," Anna repeated softly in her ear.
Elsa clung onto her sister like she was the only thing she had left... because she was. If it wasn't for her, she would have no one. She wasn't alone... she had Anna.
"Elsa? Are you alright? You've gone quiet..."
Elsa let go of her sister. "I'm fine, really."
Anna raised a sceptical eyebrow. "I'm going to sleep with you tonight, okay? I want you to know that I won't leave you."
Elsa nodded and leaned forward, kissing her sister's temple. "Thank you, Anna... for everything."
