In all her time of solitude, Elsa had become very familiar with a wide variety of knowledge. There weren't many things she didn't know much about… except… relationships.

She had always cherished the, albeit, distant one from her sister. Anna had always made her feel less alone, even though Elsa never responded to Anna's conversation. Elsa could only wonder to herself how her lack of responses effected Anna over the years.

There was something different in the air; given all the events that had just happened. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. Always the one to understand every detail of any given situation, Elsa paced her peaceful room with a her arms folded gently across her stomach with her head slightly tucked in her neck, staring at the ground in front of her delicate feet, with her see-through blue-tinted cape shadowing her movements. She had always loved wearing the dress she had made in her ice castle because it reminded her that she didn't have to hold anything back anymore. She glanced up slowly and wandered over to a chair that had once belonged to her mother and sat down quietly to reminisce about what had just happened only a few days ago.

Her powers being exposed to the whole kingdom was her absolute worst nightmare. Her parents treated her like her ability was something to be scared of; never something to embrace. Even worse than that, she had almost killed her sister… again.

During her plight towards the north mountain, Elsa remembered how she felt in that moment. She was truly free of any contact. At that point in time, she didn't have to worry about hurting anyone with her powers. She could finally soak in the freezing, fresh, wintry breeze that carried over the mountains. Free to do anything she wanted without any reserve, she thought that's exactly what she needed. She had let everything go.

Then Anna shows up; which warms Elsa's heart to know that her sister still cares about her, but reminds her of the awful truth that they could never be together as sisters. She loved Anna more than anyone else in the world, but for fear of hurting her, she pushed her away for protection. Why couldn't Anna understand that?

Elsa stood up and began pacing the floor again. She was over-analyzing the situation; replaying the events like a broken record, trying to pull any single detail that had been missed. She then stopped pacing only to remember the worst memory of the past few days. Her fingertips swelled with ice at the recollection.

"Your sister is dead because of you."

Though her sister was alive and well now, those words will always be in the back of Elsa's mind, reminding her that she really is dangerous. The feeling of losing it all because of her lack of control was devastating to her. As she fell to her hands and knees, it felt like all time had stopped. All Elsa could focus on was how she killed her sister. In a muffled sound, Elsa remembered the sound of Hans drawing his sword. But she didn't care. In that moment, she was ready to die.

"No!" a familiar voice had screamed.

Elsa didn't know what was worse, the fact that she thought she had killed her sister ten minutes ago, or the fact that she was alive, but she sacrificed herself to save her sister, who had been all but deserving of such an act of valiancy, courage, and… love.

She had cupped Anna's frozen face in her chilled hands, in complete disbelief of her actions.

As Elsa had thrown herself on Anna's ice-statue body, the first time she had ever touched another human body, she had never felt such a chill throughout her body. Sobbing harder than she ever did in her life, Elsa closed her eyes; never knowing someone could love her as much as Anna did. The cold never bothered her, but there was something about that moment that had caused her skin to freeze. She had always imagined hugging Anna, but not like this. No; never like this. With her arms draped awkwardly around Anna, she hung her head in shame and complete sadness

It seems like it all happened in a flash. Elsa had felt a gradual warming sensation against her body that no words could explain. At the time, she didn't think anything of it. When she lifted her head, she realized Anna was unfrozen, and looking quite dizzy. Elsa didn't think twice about her actions, but she kept her from falling over and held Anna in a tight embrace. Her first real contact with a warm body since she could remember. There was never a moment she would forget in those few seconds as she buried her face into Anna's shoulder. At the realization of what she had done, Elsa pushed her sister away gently and asked,

"You sacrificed yourself for me?" as she pushed a strand of Anna's hair behind her ear, then brought both of her hands together and held Anna's hands tightly in hers. After a slight pause, Anna squeezed Elsa's hands, looked directly in her eyes and said in the most sincere tone,

"I love you."

Those words will stay with Elsa forever. That was the first time in her memory that someone said that with the upmost of sincerity.

"An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart." Olaf had gasped excitedly.

Elsa wasn't sure if the act of true love was Anna sacrificing herself for Elsa or Elsa giving her Anna a hug to show how much she really cared about her sister. She still questions herself to this day.

After all the unfreezing took place after that, Elsa recalls that Anna gently placed her hand on Elsa's shoulder, without fear, and said "I knew you could do it." That was the first time in her life, since knowing she had powers, that Elsa had allowed someone else to touch her. Anna's touch had brought a new sensation of warm skin on Elsa's cold shoulder. Anna, realizing this new-found comfort, pulled herself closer to her sister, pulled both hands further down her left arm, and held on to her sister; as if she were never going to let go.

They had made eye contact a few times, with nothing but pure love in their eyes, a kind of love any two sisters would share.

After Anna let go of Elsa's arm, Elsa recalled feeling a loss of heat in her arm. A feeling that she had grown accustomed to, even if it was only for a few minutes. Anna had dealt with Hans in the most appropriate way, in Elsa's rational thinking. But, she was the queen and wouldn't condone such behavior in the public eye.

Elsa had stopped pacing and gazed in a mirror that had been hanging in her room since she was young. In the mirror, she saw the detail she had been looking for. There was a moment after Anna had taken care of Hans where Elsa was so happy to have her sister back. Seemingly in slow motion, Anna had turned slightly towards Elsa. Elsa removed both of her arms from the sides of her body, hands in tight little fists and gradually released them as she brought her arms up, signaling to Anna that she wanted to genuinely hug her without any fear that she would harm her. Anna, hesitant at first, picked up on what her sister was signaling and turned her feet towards Elsa. Anna's face lit up as bright as day as she raised her arms up and threw herself into her sister, bringing them into a tight embrace, to envy that of any hug that had ever happened to either of them before. Their arms had wrapped themselves around each other's backs; two sisters bonding together as a single soul that had been separated long ago. Though she couldn't see Anna's face, Elsa felt her warm smile against her cool shoulder.

The memory had made Elsa smile as wide as she did when it happened. That hug had meant something to both of them, but Elsa realized that it meant more to her than it probably did to Anna. Elsa liked it. Elsa's smile suddenly disappeared.

Elsa's gaze immediately left the mirror as she thought to herself, "Elsa, that is ridiculous. She is your sister and you were having a much-needed bonding moment after so many years of each of us being in isolation and torn away from your own sister." She grazed over to the window to see the sun setting over the fjord in a beautiful array of colors, ranging from the color of a beautiful robin to her sister's gorgeous, flowing ha-

As much as she tried to convince herself that it didn't mean anything to her more than a "bonding moment", she refused to let herself believe anything else.

Her skin was so warm and the feeling of having her warm body pressed so tightly against mine felt...different. A good different. She couldn't possibly-

"Elsa!" Anna's voice rang from the hallway, on the other side of a closed door, disrupting the Queen's thoughts.

"Yes, Anna?" Elsa replied, trying to keep the irritation of having her thoughts interrupted out of her tone.

"Come out of your room, I have to show you something!" Anna sang excitedly.

Anna always had a voice that matched her beautiful self.

Stop it, Elsa. The queen had scolded herself.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Elsa had managed to reply.

"Come down to my room!" Anna had called from a distance. It sounded like she had already escaped down the hallway, wanting Elsa to meet her.

Elsa sighed to herself as she walked towards the door, her body swaying slightly from the slight uncomfort from standing and pacing for so long. She straightened her back and kept her composure, let her hands relax at her sides, as she opened the door and casually walked toward Anna's room.

I'll keep up with the story as I can, I've got school and work to worry about as well! I'll usually update the description, alerting of a new chapter =]
