Author's Note: So, get ready for more mega-feels. The story is only going to get darker from now on. If you think this is plunging a knife deep into your chest, wait until you see chapter 7. Sorry it took me so long to write this chapter, but I hope I made up for that by making it twice as long as my usual chapters.
The townspeople stared at the sight before them, thoroughly confused and shocked. The queen had just run out of the place holding the princess in her arms while they were being chased by a naked man with finger nail scratches on his face. Elsa blushed when she realized that everyone was staring at Amunde, who was still naked, and she quickly made an ice t-shirt and ice jeans on him with her magic.
"Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, what is the meaning of this? Are you two alright?", the captain of the guards called out from in front of the castle.
But neither woman answered. Elsa collapsed to the ground, exhausted, Anna still clutched tightly in her arms and began sobbing uncontrollably, ignoring everyone else around her, only focusing on herself and Anna.
"Elsa, what's wrong?", Anna said softly, as she gently wiped one of the tears off of Elsa's cheek with her thumb.
"Anna….Amunde…he…tried to rape me. He told me that I needed to be fixed. That I was broken and sick because I was in love with you," she whispered low enough that only Anna could hear.
"Oh, Elsa," Anna sobbed back as she hugged her sister tightly but gently while still in her arms.
"What if he's right, Anna? What if I am broken?", Elsa sobbed loud enough for everyone to hear.
Anna gently pushed the bangs off of Elsa's forehead and planted a soft and gentle kiss on it.
"You're not broken, Elsa. And even if you were, people can't be fixed with hate, only love," she told her sister softly, lovingly.
"How amusing! What a touching little scene! But I know you two want more! Forehead kissing! What a laugh! Why don't you kiss on the lips and show them what you really are, you disgusting sluts!," Amunde sneered.
"Wh-wh-what are you talking about?" , Elsa stuttered as the townspeople look on stunned.
"That man is a liar! The queen and the princess would never…. They're sisters!", she heard various townspeople protest, relieved that they didn't believe the prince.
"You don't believe me? I'll show you," he scoffed as he pulled Elsa roughly to her feet and then grabbed Anna roughly from her arms.
"Hey! Put me down! What are you doing?", the red head protested furiously.
"Let her go!", Elsa screamed, distressed for Anna's safety.
The prince ignored them both and placed Anna on her feet in front of Elsa. He then grabbed Anna's hand and placed it down on Elsa's breast, pressing it hard against her.
The queen let out an involuntary moan of pleasure, panic filling her eyes once she realized what happened.
Anna struggled to pull her hand out from the princes and off of her sister's boob.
When she was free from the prince's grip, she protested, "That doesn't mean anything! Anyone would moan if they were touched like that by anyone."
"I think not. She didn't moan like that for me when I touched her," Amunde sneered hatefully.
"You bastard!", Anna shouted as she lunged at the prince, who quickly dodged out of the way.
Elsa was beat red, frozen in shock and fear. So many questions flashed through her muddled mess of a mind at once. Did the townspeople believe Amunde? Was there going to be a revolt? Would her and her sister be burn at the stake? Would they be banished? All the possible horrible fates that could await them ran through her head mercilessly, her thoughts racing, her chest clenching in fear that this might be the day that her nightmare became a reality. Well, most of it anyway. Thankfully, she was sure that, unlike in her nightmare, Anna wouldn't be the one to burn her to death. However, it could be even worse because that meant that Anna might get burned to death too and the thought of that made her panic. A full out blizzard broke out around her in response to her emotions, the wind knocking the townspeople who were staring at the spectacle back a little.
Elsa looked at them. Their faces had a look of shock on them as they switched their gazes back and forth between Elsa, Anna, and the prince, trying to decide who to believe.
"Aren't you tired of hiding, running? Haven't you longed to kiss her in public? To not have to keep your relationship a secret? The thing about secrets is that no matter how well you keep them, somehow they always get out. You can't hide or run away forever," Amunde taunted Anna.
Anna glared at the prince. However, as much as she hated his guts for what he did to her and her sister, she had to admit he was right. She was tired of running and hiding and she was pretty sure her sister felt the same. So what if they were queen and princess? So what if they were blood sisters? They were in love with each other and they couldn't help who they had fallen in love with. Everyone had a right to be with their true love and Anna and Elsa were each other's true loves.
Anna went over to Elsa, cupping her cheeks gently. "Elsa," she whispered gently as she moved in closer to her sister's lips. She kissed them forcefully like she was letting all the stress, the pain, from keeping the secret of their relationship, go in that one kiss.
The still shocked Elsa, eyes wide, blinked and came to her senses. She tried to back out of the kiss, but when she saw Anna open her eyes with the most pained and hurt look she had ever seen in response to Elsa's attempted rejection, she gave in and began kissing Anna back deeply, the crowd still watching, stunned looks on their faces.
When they broke the kiss, Elsa sighed, "You're right, Anna. We couldn't keep hiding this. Living like that, in secret, having to sneak around to be together was no way to live."
Anna smiled as Elsa cupped her cheeks and kissed her again, just as deeply as Anna had kissed her moments ago.
Then they turned to the crowd.
"My name is Queen Elsa and this is my blood sister, Princess Anna. We are love with each other and have secretly been in a relationship, not just a sisterly one, but a romantic one that includes being intimate," Elsa confessed to her people.
A wave of whispers, mumbles, and disgruntled mutters surged through the crowd.
"That can't be! They're sisters!"
"But that's incest and incest is a sin!"
"That kind of perversion is wicked!"
"How will we have an heir if the queen doesn't get with a man?"
"The kingdom will fall into ruin without anyone to inherit the throne!"
The townspeople's insults stung the sisters badly, but they tried to stay calm.
Before Elsa was about to address the spectators again, Amunde interrupted.
"That's right. But oh, you haven't heard the best part yet. The queen took away her little sister's innocence. She raped her," he lied.
"The queen raped the princess?!", the townspeople shouted, shocked with disgust.
"Elsa didn't rape me! I was fully willing! I wanted it!", Anna shouted, indignantly, half at Amunde, half at the crowd.
"You're too young to know what you want. Too young and naïve. She seduced you, like a vile and wicked succubus leading you into temptation," Amunde sneered hatefully.
"The queen seduced the princess! She raped the princess!", the townspeople shouted angrily, turning into an angry mob.
"No…no…she didn't, "Anna protested, her voice filled with panic.
"Yes, that's right! She did! She took away your precious sweet princess's innocence!", Amunde riled them up.
"She's a monster! Get her!", he then added, pointing to Elsa.
"Monster!", the townspeople screamed as they ran towards Elsa.
"Wait! Please! She's not a monster! She didn't do anything to me! Everything we did, we did to each other! We were both completely willing and capable!", Anna protested, panic apparent in her voice.
"Run, Anna!" , Elsa shouted to her sister in desperation, finally finding her voice again.
But Anna, stubborn as always, stood her ground firmly in front of Elsa.
"No, Elsa! I'm tired of running! I'll stand in fight! I'll protect you!", she rebelled, a determined fire burning in her eyes.
Elsa once again scooped the annoyingly stubborn Anna up in her arms and they began running, the townspeople chasing after them.
"Where are we going?", Anna asked Elsa.
"The one place where I know we'll be safe. The one place they won't be stupid enough to follow us to, my ice castle," Elsa answered.
As they reached the border of the town, to their relief, the townspeople stopped the chase.
Amunde, who had been leading them, shouted, "That's right, sluts! Leave and don't ever come back, you disgusting wenches! No one wants you here, you sick and twisted non-humans!"
Anna, who was still in Elsa's arms, her head resting on her sister's shoulder, felt Elsa's shoulders began to shake with a sob, making it clear that the prince's hateful words had hurt her deeply.
But neither responded to the prince, they continued running, trying to get as far away as they possibly could from the vile prince and from the people who had betrayed them.
Behind them, they could hear the faint whisper of the townspeople as they got farther and farther away.
They could just barely make out their words.
"This is a disaster!"
"We don't have a ruler now!"
"What are we gonna do?"
"We'll all starve to death!"
"The queen made it snow again! What if we freeze to death?"
"I'm your king now," Amunde told them, with powerful authority in his voice, in a tone that no one would dare to question his words.
Eventually, the voices faded entirely and Elsa collapsed on the ground in exhaustion, Anna still clutched tightly in her arms, her head resting against her shoulder and her stomach resting against her chest.
She broke out into the most heart-breaking sob that Anna had ever heard.
"The prince is right! He's right! I'm disgusting! I'm not human! I'm a monster, a monster who hurt my own little sister!," she wailed in heart-broken distraught.
Anna moved her arms up to hug her sister gently around her neck.
"Elsa, the prince was wrong about everything except for the fact that we couldn't hide our relationship. You're not disgusting or a monster or a non-human. You're human. The most beautiful wonderful, human being I ever laid eyes on and not just on the outside, but on the inside too. You have a kind and gentle heart, always worried about protecting others, never worrying about yourself, never complaining when everything in your life goes to hell, always comforting those around you, even you feel like you're dying inside. It's that woman, that beautiful human being, that I feel in love with and I wouldn't have it any other way. You didn't hurt me anymore than being in love makes one's heart ache. But it's a good heartache, a wonderful heartache that I want to feel until the day I die," Anna reassured her sobbing sister.
Elsa returned her sister's hug, whispering gently, "Thank you. And I feel the same for you."
She rose to her feet and they continued heading to the ice castle.
Although Anna protested several times, asking to be put down because she was getting restless, Elsa refused, enjoying the feel of carrying her sister in her arms and wanting to keep her safe, warm, and protected from any harm that came their way as she clutched to her tightly, holding her up against her chest, so the younger girl could hear her heart beating.
Finally, Anna stopped squirming and looked up at her sister.
"I'm sorry I asked to get down. I just get so restless sometimes. It means a lot to me that you want to keep me safe and protected in your arms. I love you, Elsa," Anna apologized.
"You don't have to apologize. I should've let you down," Elsa teased.
"Don't."
"Don't what?"
"Put me down. I changed my mind. I like the feel of being in your arms, of being safe and protected and loved," Anna confessed.
"Anna, I love you too," Elsa answered as the younger girl snuggled her head deeper into her chest and let out a contented sigh.
They stayed like that for the rest of the journey, in silent bliss and peace, in spite of everything that had just happened, until they finally reached the ice castle on top of the North Mountain.
