Hey guys, I apologize for the somewhat late update. Work has been tiring me out lately. I get two days off every week, but it still doesn't leave me enough time for writing. (Plus, most days, I'm just too tired to do any writing.) But here we are, with the first "year jump", so to speak. In case you get confused with the ages, I'll start posting those with my opening AN. Elsa - 13, Anna - 10
August 11, 1837
Dear Elsa,
I knocked on your door today, but you didn't answer. I didn't like that note you had Gerda give me. I'm still gonna visit you. You don't have to say anything. I'll do all the talking and you can just listen. Mama and Papa say I talk enough for the both of us. I asked them what that meant and they said it just means that I talk a lot. Do you think I talk a lot? I'm sorry if I do. Sometimes, I just get so excited I can't stop. But most times, nobody's around to tell me to stop. Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm bugging you. I'll leave you alone now.
Love,
Anna
Dear Anna,
I told you to stop visiting me. I didn't answer your knock because I didn't want to encourage you. The more I encourage you, the more you'll push; the more you push, the more I'll break. I don't want to break, Anna. I'm fragile enough as it is. The worst part is that no one seems to understand this. Not Kai or Gerda, not you, not even Mama and Papa. My emotions are now on lock-down. I can't feel anything, I can't sense anything. I didn't think it was right at first to conceal my emotions, but now I think it's the only thing that can help me. The less emotions I feel, the less dangerous I'll be.
Love,
Elsa
P.S. I just want you to know that you could never bug me. I love you too much to get annoyed with your almost constant chatter.
Let's just assume that Gerda either found that one letter from Elsa (the one telling Anna to stop visiting her) or Elsa wrote another one similar to that one and gave it to Gerda to give to Anna.
Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
