- Forbidden Fruit -
As she was running down North Mountain, Elsa could not shake off the feel of Anna's warm embrace.
Love, her greatest ally.
It enabled her to thaw her kingdom and allow her people to live normal lives again.
Love, her greatest enemy.
It was yet another grim reminder that Elsa should stay away from the forbidden emotion that kept her alive and yet had the power to kill her as well.
She didn't know when it all began; whether her affections manifested when they were only just children, or when the Princess died for her. She could scarcely believe it when the sister she thought dead, stepped courageously between a traitorous man and herself.
Her disbelief had come out in a choked sob, "You sacrificed yourself for me?'
"I love you."
It must've been at that moment when Elsa, the Snow Queen, felt herself melting. Figuratively.
If the very person she had hurt twice would still give up her life for her, then what right had she to hate herself? What right had she to beat herself up and drown in her self-hate when the person who was supposed to hate her still loved her?
For once, the Queen felt her fears disappear.
For once, she felt like a normal person again.
It probably started there, Elsa believed, where her feelings developed beyond 'friendly, sisterly love'.
Or perhaps it was the nightly visits to her chambers to comfort her. The warm, loving hugs and light kisses that caressed her very soul.
Who threw the first furtive glance, nobody knew. But what Elsa knew, was that each time their eyes connected, she could feel herself drowning in those dreamy-colored orbs, entranced by her soft touch and enticed by her pretty little lips.
The forbidden fruit was dangling right before her eyes and the Queen recognized it immediately.
She agonized over these forbidden feelings. She was Queen. She was Anna's older sister. Her role model. And they were both women.
It was in the late evening when the Princess finally returned home. The sun had set only a few minutes before, and Anna had decided that her wait was long enough. She needed to talk to the Queen.
She stood outside the Queen's chambers.
Elsa plunged into her dark world of self-hate once again. And this time, she wouldn't let her sister in. She locked her door, doing her best to ignore Anna's pleading cries to let her in. To open the door.
Pitiful begging gradually turned into temper tantrums outside her door.
"Let me in, Elsa, or I swear I'll tear the damn door down!"
"You promised, Elsa! You said you would never shut the door again! You promised!"
"You broke our promise, Elsa…"
"How could you, Elsa?!"
"Elsa, please…"
This happened every night since that day. It's been two weeks now.
Usually, these frustrated commotions of Anna's would turn into desperate cries and finally soften into resigned sighs. Elsa could hear it all. And she would be lying if she said that she never thought once of giving in and opening the door.
But she couldn't.
She would never break her sister's trust by following her selfish heart. She was Queen of the snow and ice after all, she deserved to be alone. And she would never let herself taint her sister with such terrible love. Never.
"THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT"
A glossy, red surface
Promising, tantalizing flesh
Its taste is Life
Its nature is Death
So the door remained shut.

Will: Remind me never to shut my door.
Jez: What? You keep your door shut? I kept mine own open ever since I watched Frozen. (But it's really because the night breeze is too good to keep my door closed.)
