A/N: Hi! Thanks for reading. My goal for this book is to write with only one word prompts. If you have any ideas, let me know! Please, leave feedback. I wish to grow my writing technique.

"Oh, Anna, if only there was someone out there who loved you."

Those words stabbed Anna's heart more than the ice. In that moment, Anna's idea of love was crushed.

Who in this world actually loved her? Mama and Papa were gone, and truth be told, she wasn't so convinced that they loved her. Elsa used to love her, until whatever Anna did to cause her to the close the doors.

There was no hope.

In this dream, Olaf's optimism did not come to save the day.

Anna felt the ice creep up her fingers and toes. Every second more agonizing than the last.

She takes a deep breath as the ice continues to consume her. "Nobody loves me," she admits.

——————————————————

Startled by hearing her sister scream, Elsa jumps out of bed. She doesn't hesitate to run down the hall and fling Anna's door wide open.

Nothing could prepare her for the sight her eyes beheld.

Anna, in a fetal position on the ground, whimpers as tears continue to stream down her rosy cheeks.

"A-Anna," Elsa gasps. Her older sister switch flips on immediately. She cautiously crouches next to Anna, placing a hand on her trembling sister's shoulder. "Wake up-"

"Nobody.. l-loves m-me," Anna sobs. Elsa then lifts Anna's head and gently places it in her lap.

Stroking her sister's fiery red hair, Elsa says, "Anna, you're having a nightmare. Come on, sis. I'm right here. It's okay."

Anna eyes jolt open. Her labored breathing gets worse, but Elsa's rubbing circles on her back seem to calm her a bit. "Hey," Elsa uses her free hand to wipe the tears from Anna's cheek. "Deep breaths. I've got you."

"E-Elsa," Anna whispers softly. Elsa shushes her as she gives Anna a kiss on the forehead.

"Let's get you back in bed," Elsa says after a few minutes of Anna's mix of sobs and hiccups.

Elsa gently helps Anna stand up and walk toward the bed.

Anna tiredly gets in bed, but Elsa turns to the bedroom door. "Elsa! Don't go," Anna cries.

Elsa quickly faces her sister and gives her a reassuring look. "I'm not going anywhere. I was just going to get you some water. Your throat is going to be sore tomorrow."

Anna looks down at her blankets for a moment, ashamed that she woke Elsa up. "Will you be okay for just a minute? I promise, I will be right back."

Anna gives a small nod, and Elsa runs out of the bedroom.

Han's facial expression is still engraved in Anna's mind. His voice, sharp as a sword, slices through her thoughts.

Anna tucks her head in her knees and lets out another round of sobs.

Not more than a minute later, Elsa rushes back into the room, placing a small tray with a cup and a few chocolates on the nightstand beside her.

Elsa gracefully climbs in bed and pulls Anna into her lap.

"You don't have to talk about it, Anna, but you know that I'm here and I will listen," Elsa tries to console her sister's wails.

"It was... him," Anna squeaks out.

"W-what did he do? You know, when Kristoff brought you back to the castle?" Elsa asks slowly, trying not to upset Anna further. After the Great Thaw, Elsa was so distracted by actually spending time and getting to know Anna that she never found out what happened that day.

When Anna doesn't reply right away, Elsa cringes thinking she hurt Anna by asking.

Anna grabs Elsa's hand and squeezes it tight. "Elsa, I- I want to talk about it. It may help."

Elsa hands her sister a cup of water. Anna sits ups and slowly takes a sip.

"Take all the time you need, sis," Elsa strokes Anna's arm.

Anna places the cup on the nightstand on her side of the bed. "After K-Kristoff brought me back, Gerda and some other maids led me to the library, where Hans was talking with some officials. He cleared the room and asked me about you. I told him he needed to k-kiss me... to save me."

Elsa listens attentively and nods for Anna to continue. "Just when I thought he was going to kiss me, he-" she hesitates, "he..."

Her older sister's eyes widen and takes Anna's hands into her own. "What did he do?" Elsa asks gently but firmly.

"He said, 'Oh, Anna, if only there was someone out there who loved you'" Anna melts into her sister's embrace.

"Oh, Anna," Elsa feels her own eyes glisten, but she pushes her tears back for the sake of her sister. She lifts Anna's chin to look at her in the eyes.

"I love you. If that's not enough, there are so many others who absolutely love you too. Kristoff, Olaf, Gerda and Kai! Anna, everyone in Arendelle loves you."

Anna wipes her nose with the sleeve of her nightgown. When she looks at her older sister, her heart drops at the look of guilt that consumes her older sister's face.

"This is my fault. I'm the reason you didn't feel loved-"

"Elsa, no" Anna uses a stern voice that causes Elsa to gasp. "I do not blame you. You need to stop blaming yourself."

Elsa turns her gaze downward. Anna drapes her arm across Elsa's waist. She snuggles closer to Elsa.

"My goal now is to make sure you always feel loved, Anna," Elsa lies down and wraps an arm around her sister, just like she did when they were little.

Anna lets out a small giggle, bringing a smile to Elsa's face. "I like that goal a lot."

"It was your love that brought us this far," Elsa sighs happily. "I will always be here for you now."

Anna hums a tune Queen Iduna used to sing to the girls.

Elsa starts to softly sing the song while she strokes Anna's nose, the technique Queen Iduna would always use to put the girls to sleep.

"I love you, Anna. Forever."
