Hey dearies!
Sorry this is late, I had some writers block but I'm cool now.
I hope ya'll like this one!
Enjoy!
Damn, it's hot today; I can barely keep the sweat off. Oh, hi! Long-time no chat! Sorry, just been so busy gathering wood for the upcoming winter. Half of us were working on either gathering wood or repairing anything that needs repairs before winter and the other half gathered supplies and worked the last of the farms. The girls were busy making warm blankets and cloths, well that's all I knew they were doing. Oh! My wounds healed really good, no more pain! I haven't seen Hans since, well good riddance. He didn't deserve Elsa.
My head turned to were Elsa was hanging some cloths up to dry.
No one deserved Elsa.
"You like her ya?" I jumped about 2 feet high and gave a silent yelp.
"Wh…what? No!" I pouted at Oaken. For a large man he sure was silent.
"Oh come now Anna, she's very pretty ya?" I blushed and looked down.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I like her like that," I said looking up to him.
"It's okay to like her like that, I'm not judging," he smiled warmly and I sighed hugging him.
"It's complicated Oaken," I whispered and he picked me up and sat me on his shoulder. He really was a big man.
"Now listen to uncle Oaken ya? It does not matter if you are a boy, if you love someone of the same gender it is okay, ya? Besides Anna, you're special," he said poking my tummy and I giggled. He pointed up a tree and I stood on his arm to reach for two apples.
"Here you can be with male or female, no one can judge you for that," he smiled and I blushed. It's true. I'm both genders so I could really have my pick of partners.
"But Oaken, what if she doesn't like me back like that?" I asked and he gave a chuckle. He helped me down and I handed him an apple.
"What makes you think she doesn't like you back?" He asked and bit into the apple as I looked back to Elsa. I just caught her look away from us before going back inside.
"Even if there was a possibility for us to be together, I'm not going to be here for much longer," I looked down and he nodded.
"That is true ya, but you could always take her with you," he smiled.
"Is that allowed?' I asked and he rested a hand on my shoulder.
"That has always been allowed," he said and I smiled.
"Thank you Oaken," I hugged him and he hugged me back.
With a grunt I hoist a bundle of logs onto my shoulder and make my way to the Winter household. I made my way to the back of the house to place their wood down for them. I had about three more batches to bring before my chores for the day was done. It was already getting cold as the sun started to set.
"Oh, hello Anna," I look up from placing the wood down and smile to Elsa.
"Hey Elsa, how are your chores coming along?" She was holding a basket with folded clothes.
"Just about done," she smiled and I smiled back.
"Me too I have three more I need to bring,"
"Don't over work yourself," she whispered and I shrugged.
"I'm healed up don't worry besides I got muscles now!" I grin and flex my arm. The long sleeve was rolled up, showing my toned arms. I saw her blush slightly and grip the basket harder.
"Hey let me bring the last over and we can talk a bit before night time," I said and rushed back to Oaken's. With new found vigor I hurriedly move between the two houses. Plopping the last one down I grin and give a proud superman pose.
"Done and dusted!" I heard Elsa giggle as she stood from her seating place on the back porch. She looked so calm compared to my energy filled body. I was practically vibrating, probably due to the rush of adrenaline to finish up.
"Have you decided on what you want to do once your three years are up?" She sounded a bit sad as she held her arm curling into herself shyly.
"Yes I have," I said softly taking a step towards her.
"I decided that I would take up residence in the home I grew up in, in Norway," I said and her eyes dropped to the ground.
"So you're leaving," she said matter of fact-ly.
"I wasn't meant to stay, just needed to learn how to interact with people without the help of technology, I need to go back and take over my family's business," I explained and she turned away curling into herself more. I reached out and rested a hand on her shoulder.
"Elsa," I whispered and she turned to me slightly. She was clutching the pendant I gave her and her eyes were teared up. My heart sank and I pulled her into a hug.
"Elsa, please don't be sad," I felt my own eyes prickling with tears.
"Come with me," I found myself saying. I felt her move in my arms and she looked to me. She was slightly taller still, but just barely.
"What?" She asked and I swallowed thickly.
"C-come with me," I repeated and she gave a slight frown.
"When I finish up here, come with me to Norway and if you don't like it, you can come back," I said hastily.
"I…I don't know Anna, I need to think about this," she said and pulled away from me. Her arms circled her waist and she slowly walked into the house. I felt my heart break as I made my way back Oaken's.
"Anna dinner is ready, ya?" I heard Oaken call.
"I'm not hungry Oaken, thank you," I simply said and headed to my room.
I was stupid. Why would she leave her friends and family behind for me and a world she doesn't know? Who was I to think she could ever like, heck maybe even love, a freak like me? She probably only tolerates me cause she thinks she owes me that much for standing up to Hans. Also, I'm friends with her brother. I undress out of my work cloths then dress into something to sleep in. With a heavy sigh I rest my hands on the windowsill, staring out into the darkness. At this moment I missed the cities lights and sounds. For the first time I missed the world I grew up in. This silence was too much, I needed the hustle and bustle of a city to stop being able to think. I needed the sounds of a TV running my favorite series. I needed my music to drown out every emotion I had. I wanted chips and chocolate and fast food. I wanted my satin sheets and my stuffed animals. I felt tears streak down my cheeks. I wanted my old friends; Mulan, Merida and Eugene.
I wanted my old life back.
