Here's the second spring entry, also like I promised.
TRIGGER WARNING: These next two will be the most feels-y chapters yet, so I understand if you wish to skip over them. (I almost cried while writing them myself.) To use Frosty858's words, they will really "wreak havoc on the feels".
April 24, 1843
Dear Elsa,
Kai just brought the most terrible news. The ship Mama and Papa sailed on to Corona was caught in a storm. A big wave hit the ship and capsized it. There were no survivors. They drowned, Elsa. They're gone. They're never coming back. What are we going to do without them, Elsa? Never again will I hear Papa's booming laugh, or hear Mama's soothing voice. Never again will I have someone to care for me when I'm sick, or soothe me when I'm hurt. Kai and Gerda will still be here, but with Mama and Papa gone, and you in your room all the time, I might as well be alone.
Love,
Anna
P.S. With Mama and Papa gone, I guess this means you're the queen, or will be soon. I'm sure you'll be a great one, one that Mama and Papa would be proud of.
Dear Anna,
Kai just delivered the same heartbreaking news. I didn't want to believe him at first. How could two young, healthy people die so suddenly like that? But he said that a letter had been received saying that Mama and Papa never arrived in Corona. It was a good thing he told me through my door, because immediately after he gave me the news, I iced over everything in my room, and jagged ice spikes formed on the walls and ceiling. What's going to happen now, Anna? How am I going to control my magic without someone to help me? I have no one, Anna. No one. And how can you say I'll make a great queen? I'll never make a good queen, let alone a great one. I have no one to show me how. Besides, no one would want me as queen, anyway. I'm too unstable.
Love,
Elsa
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't - shoot, I'm crying. :'(
Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
