Chapter 4: Crushing blow
Having lost all of her energy from crying, Elsa now just silently sobbed into her hands, her whole body shaking from the effort. This wasn't fair, how could this happen. After everything they had been through together, or should she say not been through together. They needed each other now more than ever, but most of all, she needed Anna. Her beautiful baby sister who wasn't afraid of her, believed in her, trusted her. She was going to lose Anna again and just like last time it was all her fault. If she had just been there, she could have done something, anything that would have helped. Now it was too late. Elsa was going to be alone again, she had failed her parents, and now she had failed Anna. How long was it going to be until she failed everyone else?
Maybe it would be best if she just left and let someone more capable be put in charge, everyone would be happy then, she could be alone, and the people would have a ruler they needn't be afraid of. Seeing this as the only option now, she stopped her crying and lifted her head, only for her eyes to go wide with shock.
Anna nearly jumped off the bed when her sister looked up at her so suddenly, her outstretched hand pulled back to her in an instant and her face blushing crimson. She waited to see if Elsa would do anything else, not quite sure what to say and was positive if she opened her mouth she wouldn't stop rambling.
Elsa stared wide eyed at her sister not daring to move an inch. This can't possibly be real; she must be hallucinating from all the screaming and crying. But no there she was, smiling sheepishly at her, looking the picture of health as if the past three days hadn't happened. Except they had, the evidence of that was in Anna's hair. Yet she looked perfectly fine and wasn't whimpering in pain. Slowly Elsa stood up and moved closer to the bed, her hand moving tentatively close to her sister's cheek, flinching away out of habit expecting burning pain, when none arrived she caressed the soft skin under her fingers, she whispered in a hoarse voice, "Anna?".
Placing a hand over Elsa's, Anna smiled brightly at her sister. She didn't know what had happened to make Elsa like this but it must have been bad, the last thing Anna could remember was Kristoff carrying her back to the sleigh, everything else afterwards was a blur. For once knowing exactly what to say she softly replied, "It's me Elsa, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere any time soon".
Elsa made a sound half way between a sob and a laugh and pulled her sister into a tight hug, Anna returned the embrace and rubbed her sisters back in comfort, something that only she knew calmed down the Queen when she got like this. They stayed like that for a while before Elsa could bring herself to let go of Anna and was sure she wouldn't disappear, although she held onto both of her hands when she sat down on the bed in front of her.
"Elsa what happened?! You're looking at me as if I have two heads or something" Anna asked while caressing her sister's hands with her thumbs trying to coax an answer from her.
The Queen couldn't help but let out a small laugh; even in a situation like this her sister was trying to cheer her up. Still bewildered Elsa just asked, "You really don't remember anything? Anything at all?" watching her sister for any signs of clarification.
Anna scrunched her face up in concentration, her tongue just poking out between her lips before she shrugged, "Not that I'm aware of, all I can remember is us talking in the morning, going to the lake with Kristoff and the others, helping Brisingr, then a bright flash of light and this huge wave of energy that flooded through me, then I blacked out and woke up here" tilting her head to the side she questioned, "Why what else happened? Elsa?".
Elsa felt her emotions getting the better of her again, she took a deep breath and squeezed Anna's hands, she looked away from her sisters gaze and replied, "Everyone was running around shouting not making a lot of sense, I heard someone say you were at the gates and I needed to come quickly, Kristoff brought you back, you were screaming, oh god you were screaming". Tears escaped from behind her eyelashes and slide down her cheeks, Elsa still refused to make eye contact, with a shaky breath she continued, "We got you back to your room, the doctor looked over you, apart from your fever there was nothing wrong, but you wouldn't wake up" she looked up now, "Why wouldn't you just wake up and let me see those beautiful eyes Anna?" not able to stop her tears she lunged forward and openly cried into Anna's shoulder, as the girl in question soothed the blonde with calming sounds and stroked her hair.
"It's ok, I'm awake now, see I'm fine nothing wrong with me" Anna didn't know what to say so just said whatever first came to mind, trying to calm down the scared woman clinging to her being.
"Three days…" Elsa whispered over and over between sobs, so quietly Anna only just heard them.
Confused as to what her sister meant she lifted her face up so she could see her properly, she calmly asked, "What do you mean three days?".
Trying to compose herself, but failing miserably as her breath kept hitching, Elsa stammered, "Three days, that's, that's how long you were asleep, that's how long I've been b-by your side".
Feeling her heart swell, tears started to well up in her own eyes, her wonderful sister had stayed by her side this whole time, probably not doing anything else but look after her and make sure she was safe. She squeezed her sister's hands, trying to show her how much she meant to her in the simple action. However Anna didn't cry because she was upset, no she cried because she was angry. She was angry that her sister was this distraught, over something that had happened to her, something she could have stopped. If she hadn't been reckless and helped that stupid animal, none of this would have happened! As she watched Elsa getting more and more upset, it just helped to fuel her anger until a sudden burst of energy emerged from inside her, not that she noticed it.
"I kept you c-cool with my ice, your fever was so high, you w-were burning up, it was like you were on… You're on fire!" Elsa continued to explain when she suddenly let go of Anna's hands. Looking down at her own, they were scorched with steam coming off them, they didn't hurt for long though as she quickly covered them in ice, the cool substance instantly soothing the damaged skin.
Anna hadn't been listening properly; she was overwhelmed with anger, if she ever found that wolf again she was going to make it pay for causing this and therefore hurting her sister so much. It wasn't until her sister had thrown her hands away so suddenly that she was brought back to reality. "What do you mean I'm on fire?" Confused she looked to her sister then followed her gaze down to her hands and was shocked with what she found, "Oh, that's what you mean" lifting her hands up so she could get a closer look, she couldn't believe it. Both of her hands were surrounded by a veil of fire. It didn't hurt; in fact it was quite a pleasant feeling, warm and tingly.
Manoeuvring her hands she made the fire surrounding them come together as a small sphere which hovered above both of her hands. She watched in awe at the flickering flames, she had done that, 'wow'. Then she started to panic, she didn't know how she had created them in the first place, how on earth would she extinguish them? The flames started to grow bigger, embers flickering dangerously close to the bed covers. "E-Elsa how do I stop this?!" Anna flickered her eyes between her sister and the fire, absolute terror showing on her face.
Elsa watched as her sister slowly became more scared and confused, up until this point she had just stared on, her mouth opening and closing in perplexity. Shaking her head trying to think straight she held up her hands and calmly spoke, "Anna calm down, being scared of it only makes it worse, you should know that, now I want you to take a deep breath in". Elsa used her hands to exaggerate the action, as her arms went up Anna's chest expanded, "ok that's good, now slowly let it out" again she used her hands to exaggerate the action to help guide Anna, as her arms went down Anna's chest contracted and at the same time the ball of flames shrunk until it burned out into nothing.
Both girls sat there for a few seconds, wide eyed and speechless. It was only a few seconds before Anna broke the silence, a grin spreading on her face, "Wow, did you see that?! I was controlling those flames! How incredible is that, I'm just like you now Elsa!".
Smiling at her sister's excitement Elsa giggled, "It would appear so, I guess you're no longer my little snowflake huh, just never do anything like that again! You had me worried sick" she playfully smacked Anna before hugging her close.
Pretending not to understand what her sister meant, Anna asked, "Do you mean the part where I saved a mysterious animal or using the magic fire? Cause I'd quite like to use the fire again if that's ok?".
Her grin was wiped of her face when she was pushed back down into the bed rather forcefully by Elsa, who although still smiling spoke with certainty, "Both, you need to be more careful Anna, I know you mean well but look what happened, I almost lost you again" her smile faltered, "And I don't want you messing with your new powers until we know how you actually use them, let alone how you can control them".
"Ughh but that's no fair Elsa! Look I'm fine can't I just go to some secluded area and figure it out for myself" Anna pouted with her arms crossed.
Elsa laughed and stood up, "No Anna, you still need to rest, you haven't had any sustenance for three days, you need to eat and drink before you do anything else, then me and you can figure this out together ok?".
Groaning again Anna simply nodded, "Ok Elsa, but only because you said it so nicely".
Shaking her head and giggling, Elsa moved towards the door, "Thank you, I will have Gerda come in soon with something to eat then when you are feeling stronger you can have her come find me". Anna nodded in response and lay back relaxing into the bed, while Elsa left the room to tell everyone the good news.
The amount of work Elsa had to do was unbelievable, she didn't realise how much had to be done in preparation for their upcoming visit from Prince Eldric, and since she hadn't done anything for three days she had to get it all done as quickly as possible. Before she had done anything to do with work, she had gone straight to one of the guards and told him to inform Kristoff that Anna was doing much better and that he could come and see her. She also made a quick announcement informing everyone that Anna was going to be completely fine, she failed to mention the magic thinking it best to wait until Anna was in control of it first.
Now however she was stuck checking up on the stocktake of all tradable goods in Arendelle. This would normally take three to five days, she had to finish the task in under two, as they were very much aware that the Prince should be arriving in the next few days and everything had to be ready for his arrival. However before she had even started checking the stocktake, she had to check the kitchens to see if they were ready for the feast, she also had to attend a meeting discussing plans on where the Prince and his men were going to be staying during their visit, and on top of that she had to sign trading papers from the neighbouring kingdoms.
It wasn't easy being Queen, Elsa thought to herself as she ran a hand through her loose hair.
"Hmm this is great Gerda, thanks" Anna spluttered out between mouthfuls of food, as she tried to pile everything set out in front of her into her mouth at once. She didn't realise how hungry she was, until she saw how delicious the masterpiece of a meal Gerda was carrying into her room was, everything you could think of was probably on the tray.
Gerda laughed and put down the glass of water next to Anna's bed, "It's fine dear, now I believe you have a visitor" she went to open the door and revealed Kristoff standing on the other side.
Swallowing the food in her mouth she cried out with joy, "Kristoff! I was hoping you'd come and see me".
Her best friend entered the room and sat down in the chair next to her bedside, passing Gerda as she left the room, he thanked her, "Thank you Gerda, I was so worried about her".
"Weren't we all dear, now I'll leave you two alone" she patted his arm and winked at them both before leaving and going down the hall.
They both burst out laughing and then smiled at each other; it had been too long for the friends to be apart. "Did she really just insinuate that she was giving us private time to reacquaint ourselves with each other?" Kristoff joked while nudged Anna in the side.
He laughed when she swatted his arm away and giggled, "Oh leave her alone, it's not her fault I haven't told her".
"Well she shouldn't assume then, anyway I bet you'd rather be reacquainting yourself with that pretty girl you keep thinking about hmm?" Smirking at her with his eyebrows up, giving her a look that said, 'you can't keep anything from me'.
Anna blushed deeply and decided she needed better ammunition; she leaned forward and took her pillow quickly hitting Kristoff lightly with it before he could get away. "I wish you would stop bringing that up! You haven't seen me for three days and this is what you're talking about?" she continued to hit him with the pillow, resulting in him just laughing more, "Anyway as a matter of fact I already have seen her, before you I might add" thinking back to earlier when Elsa wouldn't let go of her and how cute she was when she sniffled, Anna smiled warmly to herself.
When the pillow barrage stopped Kristoff put his arms down and looked over to his friend, who was smiling goofily to herself and hugging the pillow to her chest. "Well, the jokes on me then isn't it, will you tell me who she is?" he asked curiously.
Anna become serious all of a sudden, then shifting her eyes, "No, I mean I can't, its complicated" what would Kristoff say if he knew she thought about her sister like that, would he still be here friend, or would he just be disgusted with her and never want to see her again.
She started to panic like earlier, but before she could be lost to her emotions he simply said, "Ok, I understand, you don't have to tell me yet if you don't want to, after all it's your business not mine" he smiled at her to reassure her.
Her blush receding she smiled back, "Thanks Kristoff, you're the best".
"And don't I know it!" he beamed his chest out jokingly which made Anna laugh, "So are you all ok now?" becoming worried he watched her waiting for an answer.
Anna nodded her head, "Don't worry I'm fine, in fact I'm more than fine" she leaned in close to him and whispered, "What I'm going to tell you has to stay a secret ok".
A confused look crossing his face he just nodded, "Ok".
Anna then proceeded to tell him all about how she didn't remember anything past the moment she was hit with Brisingr's energy, then how she had gotten really angry at him and it caused a burst of energy from inside her which made her hands burn with fire. Then how she didn't actually know how to use or control this power, which is why it has to be kept a secret.
"Wow" was all Kristoff could say in response.
Nodding in agreement she repeated, "Yeah, wow".
"So I don't have to go and hunt him down then, he didn't just hurt you for no reason; you were just assimilating the energy he gave you" Kristoff speculated.
Anna shrugged, "I guess so, makes sense right, you can't just go up to someone and go here have some powers" messing around she tapped the boy on the head and made weird motions with her hands.
He laughed but then asked, "Yeah it makes sense, but aren't you a bit scared about this? You were out cold for three days, screaming in pain half the time".
She just shrugged again, "No, not really, I wasn't aware of any of it anyway so no harm done to me" then the biggest grin spread across her face, "in fact I can't wait till I know how to use them properly, It's going to be so much fun, like me and Elsa can be magical together" Anna flung her arms out when she said the last part, which made her fall forward onto her face. The two friends laughed together, and continued to talk for most of the day; things were beginning to return to normal.
Scratching her signature at the bottom of the document, Elsa let out a sigh, "Finished" she dropped the pen back into the inkwell and put the last form on to the pile with the other papers. It had taken up most of the day but she had finally finished all her work, at least for today. She looked out the window at the orange sunset, still plenty of time to help Anna.
As if on cue Gerda knocked on the door and entered the room, "My Queen, Anna requests your presence".
"Of course, I'm all finished here could you get Kai to make sure these documents are filed and delivered correctly, oh and could you nip down to the kitchen and let them know Anna and I won't be require a full meal, some sandwiches will do fine as we will be taking them with us" Elsa stood up from behind her desk and walked over to the doorway were Gerda nodded her head.
"Of course, I'll get right on that your majesty, should I also get your horses ready?" Gerda asked with a smile as she held the door for Elsa, who smiled back as she passed through.
Shaking her head and waving her hand slightly, she replied, "No thank you Gerda, we won't be going far from the town, I simply want to enjoy a peaceful night with my sister".
Gerda nodded again, "How nice, well I hope you both have a wonderful time, by the time you are both ready I will have a basket with some food prepared for you both" she then disappeared down the hall to look for Kai.
Elsa then made her way down to her sister's bedroom, she knocked on the door before entering the room, and to no surprise she found her sister sat on the edge of her bed fully dressed and ready to go. As soon as she stepped into the room Anna had jumped up to her feet and started jumping around in excitement, much like a puppy when it gets told its going for a walk.
"Ok calm down, I still have to get changed yet, I can't do anything remotely active while wearing this dress, grab your coat on the way" Elsa laughed as she tried to calm her sister down.
As she walked back out the room with Anna in tow she heard the strawberry-blonde say, "Oh are we going outside? I thought you would have wanted to keep this secret?".
They got to Elsa's bedroom door and stopped, Elsa smirked, "I do want it a secret for now, and it won't stay that way if you end up burning down half the castle, so I thought it would be a good idea to go into the forest and find a clearing to practise in, that way no one will see us".
Giggling and rubbing the back of her head Anna replied, "Yeah that's a good point, go on then go get changed, then we can go!" she pushed her sister into her room and waited patiently outside, blushing to herself when she thought about how close she was to Elsa who was probably half naked by now, she jumped when she heard the door close, to busy in her fantasy world. When she turned to look at Elsa, her jaw dropped and she had to stop herself from gawping, "wow Elsa, y-you look amazing" she was wearing another one of her ice dresses except this one didn't have a trail and glistened all over in the same solid blue colour, Anna couldn't quite think where she had seen the colour before.
Elsa blushed and looked away from Anna for a second, "Thank you, I think you look beautiful as well".
Anna giggled, "aww how cute are you, come on let's go!" she nudged her sister before rushing down the hall; Elsa shook her head and followed after her.
"Are we nearly there yet?!" Anna whined as she trailed along next to Elsa. They were deep into the forest now far enough away from the town so no one would be able to see them, but close enough that it wouldn't take them long to get back.
This was the fourth time Anna had asked that question, Elsa laughed and nodded, "Yes, we are nearly there, it's just down this path, now stop moaning and eat your food".
Anna groaned and pouted as she took another bite out of her sandwich. It felt like they had been walking forever! Then she saw an opening in the trees up ahead, smiling she pointed it out and started getting all giddy, "Oh look Elsa, there it is, come on!" she started running ahead leaving Elsa behind giggling at her sisters antics.
"Alright I'm coming, hang on" The blonde shouted as she picked up the pace trying to catch up to her sister. A few seconds later she was walking into the forest clearing, she made her way over to Anna who was stood in the middle.
Anna spun in a circle with her arms outstretched and a wide smile on her face, she stopped when Elsa was close and grabbed her hands, she jumped in excitement and shook her sister's hands up and down, "So can we start now?".
Releasing herself from her sister's surprisingly strong grip, she smiled, "Yes, but first we need the proper accommodations" she then lifted her foot and stomped it hard on the ground, ice expanding outwards from the contact. Once it was far enough away she lifted her hands in large motions causing four walls of ice to rise around them and connect at the top forming a roof. "There, now we have some privacy, and we don't have to worry about you creating a forest fire" she teased as her sister looked around the room in awe.
Too excited about the whole thing, Anna didn't take the bait and simply squealed hugging her sister, "Wow, this is amazing!" she extracted herself from the hug and took a deep breath to calm herself and stood in front of Elsa, "Ok where do we start?".
'Good question' she thought to herself, were do they start? Sure Elsa was experienced with magic but it wasn't like this was exactly the same as her magic, it could have a completely different set of rules, they just didn't know. 'Oh well only one way to find out' she shrugged to herself before speaking, "Well firstly let's start with what you should know before you even try to use your powers, you have seen how this sort of magic can be dangerous when not used correctly. Don't let fear control you". Referring to herself in this instant she faltered for a second, but seeing Anna nod reassuringly she composed herself and continued, "Magic can be a wonderful, beautiful thing, it's not something to be feared, but respected, so long as you don't abuse it you should be fine".
Anna nodded again, "Got it, is that everything?".
Elsa shrugged, "I don't know, that was what I was told by the trolls when I was younger, but that's for my power, I have no idea if the same rules apply to you, although I would assume the fear and respect thing would be the same".
Again nodding to show she understood Anna asked, "Ok I understand the basic rules, now how do I go about using my power?" lifting her hands and looking at them confused, willing them to light fire again, but they didn't so much as twitch.
Giggling to herself at Anna's concentrating face, her tongue poking out and her scrunched up nose, she was just so adorable. Elsa walked over to Anna and stood behind her, before her sister could ask what she was doing, she gently grabbed Anna's arms and held them both out in front of her, slightly bent at the elbow, softly she explained, "When I want to conjure my ice, I allow the feeling of cool energy to build up at the point where I want it, for this instance my hands, once the build of energy is overwhelming and makes my hands feel tingly I release the energy all at once, allowing it to pass from my hands into the space around them". She let go of Anna's left arm and demonstrated, a small blast of snow firing into the air around them, "See, now you try, I'll help you if you need me to" she spoke softly into her sister's ear.
Anna couldn't stop the involuntary shiver that ran down her body when Elsa whispered into her ear sensually like that. Wait what was she thinking, sensually?! Elsa was just being quiet so she didn't hurt her ears; Anna needed to stop her imagination before it got out of hand. Not wanting Elsa to wonder why she hadn't said anything yet, she gulped, "Ok I'll give it a try".
Closing her eyes she concentrated on feeling that same energy she felt earlier, but she couldn't feel it. She scrunched her eyes and concentrated harder, trying to feel anything. Nothing. She groaned in annoyance and tried harder, her tongue sticking out and her hands bawled up into fists.
"Don't force it, relax" Elsa suggested in that same sensual tone.
Anna tried to mask her shiver with a nod, did Elsa even realise she was doing that?! Taking her advice she took a deep breath and tried again. At first she couldn't feel anything, then she felt it, in her chest. It was very weak, but it was there. Concentrating on that warm, tingling energy she willed it to flow down her arms and into her hands. As if she could sense it, Elsa started to trace down Anna's arms with her fingertips, causing the sensitive flesh underneath to erupt in goose bumps. Anna took a sharp breath in at the contact, hoping she wasn't too loud that her sister heard her. As much as she was enjoying the feeling of Elsa's fingers caressing her arms, she noticed that it was helping guide the energy down her arm. Wherever the fingers where the energy followed, until it was in her hands.
After a while Anna had started to forget what they were actually there for, the way Elsa was stroking her arms felt so nice, and she could feel her sister pressed up against her back. So when Elsa whispered, "Don't be scared, let it go" she almost jumped out of her skin, being brought back from her daydream so suddenly.
Anna could feel the overwhelming energy tingling in her palms, just waiting to be released, so she did just that. With a single thought, the energy flowed freely from her palms into the air, creating two small flames that burned brightly in contrast with the blue ice. Unlike a normal flame, these two didn't burn out; they just burned on hovering over Anna's hands. She couldn't believe it, she had done it, she exclaimed, "Did you see that Elsa?! I did it!".
Looking into Anna's face to see wonder and amazement she smiled and replied, "Yes I did, well done" she stepped from behind Anna and moved a little to the side to give them both space. As soon as she moved away, Anna missed the familiar weight and warmth from her sister. "Next step, being able to stop it" Elsa stated waiting for Anna to return her attention to her. Once she had Elsa explained, "Ok, so this part doesn't normally happen to me often, since I just create a blast of ice or something solid, something that doesn't continue to move after I've created it. But when it does happen, I just cut off the energy from the area, this case my hands and it stops the flow, therefore stopping the magic".
Anna nodded, whispering, "Cut of the flow, got it" holding out her hands in front of her she could feel the mass power moving from her arms, into her hands, and out into the air. Concentrating she imagined a tap running with energy and just like she would with a normal tap, she turned it off stopping the energy and just then the two flames were extinguished. Laughing and holding her hands together just to be sure they were still there, she exclaimed, "That was easier than I thought".
Watching the young girl in amazement, Elsa nodded in agreement, "Looks like you've got the hang of it, let's see what you can do" the invitation was accepted without another word, as Elsa stood by and watched as her younger sister moved around the ice room with grace, creating intricate patterns in a fiery dance. She couldn't help admire how the younger girl's hips swayed back and forth with ease as her sister passionately sauntered around the room, or how the look of determination on Anna's face was incredible attractive. Elsa was getting hot, and it wasn't because of the fire.
Elsa could have stood there forever and simply watched the beauty here sister was creating, at the moment she was conjuring a fiery phoenix, causing it to fly around the room. The steam surrounding Anna made her look undoubtedly sexy, as she stood with her arms out in a dominant stance. Wait steam? Elsa looked up to the ceiling, and just as she thought, the heat from Anna's fire was causing the ice to melt, creating tiny puddles all over the floor.
She was about to tell Anna to watch her step, when it was too late, Anna had already put her foot down and was slipping. Elsa ran over cautiously (the puddles re-freezing wherever she stepped) and got to Anna just as she fell over, the once mighty phoenix above them faded away to small embers before being extinguished entirely. "Are you ok?" she asked worried, her hand outstretched for Anna to take.
Laughing at how serious her sister was being she replied, "Yeah I'm fine" she took Elsa's hand and pulled on it to help herself get up, but Elsa hadn't been expecting it; she lost her footing and fell on top of Anna, who grunted at the sudden weight.
In shock at what just happened, Elsa just stared down at her sister who was too busy trying to get her breath back to be bothered about the situation just yet. When she was met by glistening blue eyes that looked up at her expectantly and with excitement, she realised what was happening, and it wasn't good. Elsa scrambled to get up as quickly as she could, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I should have been more careful" she was about to turn away when she was stopped by a hand grabbing hers.
She turned to see Anna smiling warmly at her, 'oh dear', her sister laughed, "It's ok Elsa, it wasn't your fault, I shouldn't have pulled your hand so hard". Elsa forcefully pulled her hand out of Anna's grip and started wringing her hands together, trying to look anywhere but at her sister. Anna's smile faded and her expression changed to worry, she asked, "What is it Elsa?" she took a step towards her sister, who took a step back keeping their distance.
"No, stay there Anna, it's ok really" Elsa pleaded as she held up a hand to stop her sister getting any closer.
Anna was hurt, her sister hadn't done anything like this since her coronation, and she had promised Anna that she would never do anything like it again, so why was she breaking that promise now? "But Elsa, you said we would be close again?" tears were starting to well up in her eyes.
The hurt in Anna's face was killing Elsa, she didn't want to put her sister through this but she had to, it was for the best, the crack in Anna's voice though was making the decision harder for Elsa to make. "We can't keep doing this" she used her hand to motion between the two girls.
Anna didn't need to ask what she meant; she knew exactly what her sister was talking about and it caused her to be relieved and distraught at the same time, her sister shared her feelings, but she was crushing them before they could even start to develop. Anna dropped her arms to her sides, her hands bawled up into fists, her voice weak she said, "But I love you Elsa".
Elsa felt her heart beat quicken with the words but she ignored it, she started, "And I love you too Anna but..".
"But nothing! You've just admitted you feel the same way as I do, so I see no problem with this continuing!" Anna was starting to get angry; she copied Elsa's actions from before, motioning between the two sisters.
"Anna I'm not arguing about this, It has to stop and that's final" Elsa made a cutting motion with her hand to emphasise her point.
She had started walking away when Anna shouted, "Oh no you don't! Your Queen voice doesn't work on me, you don't get to shout an order and expect me to follow it! Now look me in the eye and tell me why this can't happen!" angry tears were freely trailing down her face now as she waited for Elsa to turn back around and face her. What she hadn't expected was for Elsa to turn around and rush towards her, embracing her in a passionate kiss, her hands cupping the younger woman's face tenderly at first, then beginning to explore, running through her silky locks, and pulling their bodies closer together. Anna was caught off guard but soon relaxed into the embrace, wrapping her arms around her sister's neck and moaning into the kiss.
Just as Anna was starting to get hot and bothered, the kiss was over as suddenly as it had begun, and she was left standing there with her eyes half lidded, watching Elsa take a few steps back before she declared, "That's why".
Before Anna could make sense of what just happened, Elsa had ran out of the ice room and disappeared from sight. Pressing her fingernails deeply into her palms in anger, Anna screamed out her frustration and as she did, large flames exploded out around her, melting the magnificent ice structure. Why did her stupid sister always have to be right, yet at the same time so utterly wrong! Losing the energy and the willpower to stand up, she collapsed in a heap on the now dry ground and brought her legs up to her chest quietly sobbing into them. Steam ascended around her as the large flames died down to a small glow around her feet.
Elsa ran as fast as she could back to Arendelle, not stopping for anything because she knew if she did, she would turn around and run back to Anna's side. She could feel the tear tracks on her cheeks and as she thought of the hurt look on Anna's face, she was slowly forgetting her reasoning behind stopping anything happening between them.
She heard a scream coming from the direction Anna was in, turning around so fast she almost fell over. Her eyes went wide with shock and she brought a hand up to her mouth, she could see the tall, angry flames from over the tops of the trees.
