Here Comes The Sun
Chapter 37
By: The Duchess of Arendelle
AN: Bet you thought you'd never see an update on this story again. No matter how small it is. So I need you guys help in order to proceed, that's kinda why it's so short. PLEASE read the AN at the bottom. I really need your input on how to continue with this!
Oh, and Happy St. Patty's Day!
Sorry for any and all mistakes.
"How'd you find me here?" Anna asked without turning around when she heard footsteps and the creaking of the old floorboards behind her.
"I asked one of the servants." Elsa replied in an even tone. Anna's voice shook when she spoke, telling her the redhead had indeed been crying.
"Why are you here Elsa? Shouldn't you be dazzling the audience and your new fiance?" Anna said bitterly. Elsa frowned.
"That's not fair Anna and you know it. I did what had to be done. For our country. For our people…" With each word Elsa took a step closer until she was standing behind the upset redhead. Anna jumped slightly when she felt Elsa's cool gloveless hands rest gently on her shoulder as she bent down to whisper in her ear.
"...For us." She finished, hugging the redhead from behind. Anna closed her eyes and tried to focus on the contact. On the warm feeling that filled her at the touch. But she couldn't. Images of Edmonds smirking face. Of his long thin fingers wrapped around Elsa's waist. His thin chapped lips kissing the back of Elsa's hand, flashed behind Anna's eyes. Shaking her head and removing herself from Elsa embrace, she stared accusingly at the blonde.
"I can't. I can't stand this Elsa. You should have said no. You should have refused!" Anna cried out in anger and sadness. She knew she shouldn't have said that to Elsa. She knew it was a low blow. She knew it was wrong to take her anger and frustration about this entire ordeal out on the blonde. But dammit she was confused, frustrated, and mad as hell and she couldn't hold it in a second longer.
"And then what would you have me do Anna?" Elsa spat back, raising her voice in a rare outburst of anger.
"What would you have me do love? Let Edmond run to the council and tell them the true nature of our relationship? Have him circulate pamphlets of the photos of us kissing in the garden to the people? Have our entire country the focus of national scandal while other countries look down on and ridicule us? Embargo us? The orphaned incestorous sisters of Arendelle. The queen who beds her little sister! We would be exiled or worse within days Anna. What we have is not safe or normal, can't you understand that?" Elsa yelled, hand over eyes and chest heaving.
Anna stared at the blonde in shock and disappointment. Shaking her head and looking away she spoke in a quiet voice.
"What we have is love Elsa. What's not normal about that? Do we not deserve to have our happily ever after?" She looked back and stared Elsa in the eye. The blonde heaved a heavy sigh.
"That's your problem Anna. You're still living in this little fantasy world where everything works out in the end. This isn't like the fairy tales we use to read. This is the real world. And in the real world there is no such thing as a happily ever after. Not for us." Elsa stared down at the stained old planks of wood that made up the floor. She heard Anna scoff.
"Not for us? And exactly what is that suppose mean Elsa? Are you… are you breaking up with me?" Anna asked in disbelief. Elsa stayed silent.
"Elsa, answer me." Anna called to the blonde, angry tears streaming down her face as her throat and chest tightened at the thought.
"It would be the easiest solution." Elsa said around the lump in her throat. She kept her head down so Anna couldn't see the tears gathering in her eyes…

AN: DRAMA BOMB!
Anyway, I need you guys to either comment or message, or I'll put a poll up and you can vote: Do Elsa and Anna call it quits or no?
Of course it's not going to be permanent, it probably won't even last long, but it will add more drama and intrigue to the story on how they'll eventually get back together, or we can go for die hard romance and keep them together. I can't decide and I seriously need help.
You guys choose.
Stay? Or Split?
Hope you enjoyed this (small) update! I got inspiration for my stories again and it's because some of you guys messaged me and motivated me with your words! Thank you!
See you soon!
