Well...guess I'm posting a new chapter now (I feel so inspired right now!) and not next week. Yay! Anyways, thanks for following/favoriting/reviewing this story, it means a lot to me! This chapter takes a few time skips so I'm just leaving the ages of Anna, Nora, & Elsa up...so..yeah. Enjoy!

~ 5 Months Later ( Anna 6, Nora 8, Elsa 9 ) ~

It had been a few months since "the accident" and by this time Elsa had not once come out of her room. Her meals were brought to her door and only papa, mama, and I were allowed to go into her room. After a dull morning of studying Arendelle History, I opened my door a crack and poked my head through to see Anna looking out the window and smiling.

It was snowing.

She happily skipped over to Elsa's door and did her special knock, smiling, saying "Elsa?" Only to get no response. Then she started to sing.

"Do you Want to Build a Snowman? C'mon let's go and play!"

I watched sadly as she peeked under Elsa's door to try and see if she was actually in there.

"I never see you anymore, come out the door, It's like you've gone away."

In her room, I saw her playing with her doll and Elsa's doll. She tried to play by herself but she looked defeated and put them down.

"We used to be best buddies

and now we're not,

I wish you would tell me why,"

She got up on her tiptoes and looked through the keyhole.

"Do you Want to Build a Snowman? It doesn't have to be a Snowman"

Mumbling the last part, I gave a sad smile when I saw her lips pressed against the keyhole trying to talk to Elsa.

The only response Anna received was a, "Go away, Anna!" from the other side of Elsa's door. "Okay, bye."

I saw Anna walk away defeated, dragging Elsa's doll with her and sniffling. I fully stepped out from my room and into the hall, gave her a smile, pulling out my own doll and mouthing "Wanna play dolls?". I felt guilty that Elsa couldn't join us, but it wasn't really her fault, with her powers, she didn't want to hurt Anna again. We played all afternoon and later went outside to build the snowman she had wanted to make.

But it didn't feel right.

We both knew something was missing...

Elsa.

~ 3 Years Later ( Anna 9, Nora 11, Elsa 12 ) ~

While I was on my way to see Elsa, Anna slid up to Elsa's familiar blue rosemaling patterned door and once again, did her special knock. As usual, there was no answer except for Anna's singing.

"Do you Want to Build a Snowman? Or ride out bike around the halls?"

I saw her dangerously balancing on the back of a bike made for two, so when the bike went down the stairs I ran over to look down the staircase. To my relief, she was safe in the arms of...armor? She swept her hand over her forehead like she did when she was a younger drama-queen then hopped out of the arms of the armor and ran to the gallery. I followed her curious to see what she would do.

"I think some company is overdue, I started talking to, the pictures on the walls-"

She expertly flips over the arm of a couch and winks at a portrait of Joan of Arc while pointing at her.

"Hang in there, Joan!"

"It gets a little lonely, all these empty rooms, just watching the hours tick by."

Running over to the old grandfather clock, she sat with her back on the ground and her feet in the air, pretending to hit the pendulum of the clock with her feet watching it swing back and forth with her eyes. All the while, making ticking noises to mimick the clock.

After I was finished watching Anna, I went back up the stairs and went into Elsa's room where papa and mama were already talking to her. I noticed she was standing in a corner of her room, and the wall behind her was frosting over. She was pacing back and forth in a nervous matter.

"I'm scared. It's getting stronger!"

"Getting upset only makes it worse." Papa tried to comfort her and he tried to hug her but Elsa recoiled. "No! Don't touch me. I don't want to hurt you." Mama looked at papa with a face full of sadness and then they noticed me by the door. "Nora? Is there something that you want?" I simply gestured to Elsa and she realized I wanted to talk to Elsa so she and papa left us alone.

Her back was facing me, so she didn't know I was still in the room until my hand calmly touched her shoulder. She stiffened for a moment before realizing it was me and relaxing a bit more. Turned to meet my eyes that were as blue as the sky, I saw a single tear fall down her face and form into a snowflake before it even hit the ground.

No words needed to be spoken in order for us to communicate with each other as we had always been very close. Despite what she had said to our parents, I put my arms around her and gave her a gentle hug which she somewhat reluctantly returned. When I pulled away, I gave her a small smile which she eventually returned and for the next few hours we practiced our Norwegian and I let Elsa fly a bit with my air powers.

When it was sunset, I returned to my own room but gave Elsa one last smile before I shut the door. Ever since I was younger, I had never talked that much but I was very expressive and my body language could tell people everything I couldn't say. While Anna was the energetic one and Elsa was more of the graceful one, I had always been more on the quiet and shy side.

But that would change as I got older.

~ 7 Years Later ( Anna 15, Nora 17, Elsa 18 ) ~

I had heard a few days prior that papa and mama were leaving on a ship to go and meet with some of our trade partners and I speed walked down the halls to get to their room and wish them a safe trip. On the way I saw Anna slide in her socks down the hall, she stopped by Elsa's door for a second but then slid along to the room of our parents. They were packing their suitcase when she practically leaped into their arms, "See you in two weeks!"

I entered the room when Anna had left and I gave my parents a big hug, which from me, was really rare. "I hope the tides and wind will be in your favor during your trip." Papa smiled and assured me that there was going to be beautiful sunny weather on the seas which I did not doubt, as it was after all spring.

Leaving their room with them, I offered to carry the bag which they did not object to and I followed them down the stairs until we got to the bottom of the steps where Elsa was waiting. She had her normally braided hair up into a small bun with her calm bangs drifting to the side of her face. Politely curtsying she looked up at them sadly, almost like a puppy begging to go with its master. "Do you have to go?"

Papa just offered her a sad smile and replied as confidently as he could, "You'll be fine, Elsa." She simply nodded before walking up the stairs to return to her room before Anna saw her. I ran off to my purple-rosemaling-themed room to practice my newest hobby, sewing. I told Anna of my new pastime and she asked if I could make her a dress which I agreed to.

Shopping in the town in disguise, I purchased several different bolts of beautiful fabric. The cashier looked at me suspiciously when I set down a bag of coins but didn't question me, which I was thankful for. When I returned to my room, I began sewing a lovely ballgown with short off-shoulder sleeves, a black bodice with rosemaling, and finally an intricate green skirt.

Upon finishing my work, I smiled proudly.

Anna was going to love it!

I walked out of my door and heard something, a voice, the wind perhaps? Approaching a barely open window, the wind told me that our parents had died when their ship was capsized by the sea and were now dead. Running back into my room, I began to cry but as soon as I stopped, well...partially stopped, I turned on my sewing machine and began sewing myself a black dress.

I had to do something to try and get my mind of of the news that may or may not be true. After all, you can't really depend on the words of the wind to tell you something, like a messenger, it was bound to get the message wrong sometimes. At least that's what I thought.

Only Anna and I attended the funeral, while Elsa remained in her room back home at the palace. When we returned home ourselves, Anna slowly made her way towards the always shut blue-rosemaling-trimmed door and knocked. Not a special knock, a normal one.

"Elsa?" As always, there was no response.

"Please I know you're in there, people are asking where you've been. They say 'have courage'; and I'm trying to, l'm right out for you, just let me in,"

She puts her back against the door and slides down to the floor, looking defeated and full of tears.

"We only have each other, it's just us three, what are we gonna do?"

Pausing, she stopped to look outside of the window and quietly added.

"Do you want to Build a Snowman?"

I quietly walk up to her, still in my black dress and put out a hand for her to take, which she eventually accepts. Offering her a handkerchief, she also accepts that and wipes away her tears before giving me a look of thanks. I knew that Elsa was listening and decided to take this moment to try and kill some of the grief that was spreading through our hearts like venom.

"Don't worry. As long as we have each other, we'll be alright. Alright?"

Anna sniffled a bit before answering in a choked up voice. "Okay."

Although Anna couldn't, I could quietly hear the sound of Elsa's voice from the other side of her door. Whispering her response to my words...

"Alright."

So Nora sews dresses, her sisters' dresses to be specific and she is also very quiet and shy. This changes as she gets older. In case you're wondering what she looks like, she looks EXACTLY like her mother. Brown hair, blue eyes, freckles..yeah. She equally (although it may not seem like it) divides her time to play with her sisters and is basically the only person Elsa is really comfortable around. Anywho, I'll post the next chapter sooooon!
