"Elsa, please. Please. I can't live like this anymore."

Elsa, her elder sister, the last of her family, stared at her. Anna would have given anything to know what was going through her mind. She would have given anything to know why she had been treated so unfairly over the past few years. The coronation was her last hope. It was her last chance to reconcile with her sister. And now it's blown.

"Then leave."

Elsa gave her one last mournful look, turned around and walked away. Anna stood there in stunned silence. Of all the things she expected Elsa to say this was not it. What happened to her kindhearted big sister who would read her bedtime stories? Who would always give her extra chocolate? With whom she built so many snowmen in the ballro-

"Ouch." A flash of pain went through her head and cut off her chain of thoughts. She looked around and noticed everyone was staring at her and Hans. Oh yeah. Hans. The engagement. She had almost forgotten about him.

"Let's go somewhere else," she said to Hans.

"Fine." He sounded irritated.

They climbed up a floor and went to a terrace. The night sky, which was warm and starry just minutes ago, was chilly and clouded over.

"That's strange," said Hans, "it's almost as if it's going to snow. Do you usually get snow in the summer here in Arendelle?"

"Not that I remember."

There was silence for a few minutes before Hans finally broke it.

"What do you plan to do now?"

"I am going to do exactly what my sister wants," she said with determination. "I am going to leave."

"What! You can't do that!"

"Yes I can." She grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes. "After we get married, I will come live with you in the Southern Isles."

"But you are heir to Arendelle's throne" he pointed out.

"I don't care about that anymore. I never cared about my royalty. I just don't want to be alone anymore." Anna pleaded.

"I am afraid that won't be possible." Hans' entire demeanor changed.

"Why not Hans? We'll be happy together."

"If you renounce your title as princess then you are useless to me. Why would I marry some random girl from a small sleepy kingdom?" he said harshly.

"What?" Anna realized she should have listened to her sister.

Hans' laughed. "Look at you! Do you think life is a fairy tale? I can't believe you actually thought we were marrying for 'true love'. You are the most immature person I have ever met. No wonder your sister can't stand you. Grow up!"

"W-what? Hans please don't do this!" tears streamed down her eyes.

"Good night princess Anna." And with that, he was gone.

Once again, Anna watched as someone she loved walk away from her. She burst out sobbing. Elsa was right. She was just a little child who didn't know the first thing about the real world. Maybe that's why she hated her so much. Who would want to be related to someone like her? Even her parents used to spend more time in Elsa's room than with her growing up.

She was now truly alone. Her sister didn't want her around, and Hans had left her. Sniffling, she climbed up the stairs towards her own room. The party was over, the gates were closed. She noticed Elsa's door was locked again which meant her sister was probably inside. She quietly knocked.

"Elsa? Y-you were right. I know nothing about true love. I said some terrible things to you. I am sorry. I understand why you don't like me. I will leave tonight. You won't have to deal with me anymore."

She waited for a response, but as usual, nothing. Anna sighed. Just like the past 13 years.

"Goodbye Elsa." She said. And then, "I love you."

She packed everything necessary for a long journey, including her Elsa doll. She trudged downstairs dejectedly. The castle held many good memories for her even though she couldn't remember most of them. She slipped out a side door and gasped.

It was snowing. Heavily. In summer! Luckily, she had boots. She headed off towards the forest.

Inside the castle, the young queen could no longer hold back her tears.

"I am so sorry, Anna."

Outside, the storm raged on.
