(OLD)A/N: This is something that popped into me head a while ago and I've just been able to write it down now. I also wanted to see how people would react to something like this because I'm a very curious person. And since a lot of people ship Elsanna from the movie Frozen, I wondered what people would think if I wrote down a story that had to do with Amber and Sofia. And as far as I can tell, I'm the first person to be writing this. This was intended to be a one-shot, but if it goes well and people actually like it and I get a lot of reviews I might continue this story. Please let me know what you think and enjoy.
(NEW!)A/N: Hello everyone! It's been a long time. I'm so sorry for being gone for so long. Like I said in my announcements I will be rewriting the whole story of Strange Feelings to make it more enjoyable to read and to fix the grammar and misspelling throughout the story. I have learned a lot about writing in my absence and wanted to make a final draft to the story that I love very much. This chapter hasn't changed much but if you can tell, I have fixed a lot in this chapter to fit my satisfaction. I hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 1
Sofia had always known she was different from the other girls in the kingdom. When she was just a regular girl living in the village, she always preferred the company of girls than to boys. She didn't know why at first, so she just chalked it up as being a normal girl thing. Wanting to hang out with girls like herself rather than boys that didn't understand them. But then she started noticing things about herself that were different from other girls.
Whenever her friends Jade and Ruby would talk about their futures, like marrying handsome young men, Sofia would slightly cringe. The thought of getting married to a man didn't sit right with her. Deep down, she always found it a little gross. But she never spoke it out loud, not wanting to ruin the moment with her friends. And even when she moved into the castle with the Royal family, she still felt the same way. Whenever her father would talk about her and Amber getting married to princes, Sofia would wrinkle her nose. She was never really interested in boys and didn't like it when the subject was brought up. She really didn't know why she felt this way. She just did. But she always kept these thoughts to herself, for fear of being judged harshly. She would even keep these thoughts from her dear friend Clover the Rabbit.
Sofia also realized that she was starting to feel something towards her Step-sister Amber. It started on the night of her Welcoming Ball, when she thought she had accidentally put everyone to sleep. She didn't know what to do and started crying. But then Cinderella came and helped her solve the problem by taking her to Amber before disappearing. After Sofia showed Amber what she had done, they both went to Cedric's lair to find a counter spell. Once they did, they went to the ball room to cast the spell, but Amber didn't want to go because of the tear in her gown. Sofia then sewed the gown back up, and in return Amber took Sofia by the hands and taught her how to dance. It was when their hands touched that Sofia began to feel something for Amber. The way they danced around the halls all the way to the Ballroom just felt right to her. She didn't know what these feelings were and just pushed them aside, assuming that it was just her forming a bond with Amber.
But now things have gotten a bit worse.
One day, Amber had asked Sofia to help her pick out an outfit for a ball that was coming up in a few days. Sofia happily agreed to help, a little more so than she usually was, which struck her as odd but she shrugged it off. They were now currently in Amber's dressing room, going through the latter's newest gowns. Sofia had been waiting in the middle of the room while Amber was behind the curtains putting on her next dress. Then finally Amber came out in a beautiful night blue dress. She asked Sofia what she thought of it but was answered with silence. Sofia looked Amber up and down for a moment, studying her intently. The dress was exquisitely beautiful on her, showing off Amber's well placed curves. Sofia couldn't look away from the lovely sight in front of her. She heard Amber call her name again and broke Sofia's thoughts. Sofia's cheeks were burning red as she realized she was staring.
"You look beautiful, Amber," was all she said. This pleased the blonde princess. But Amber wanted to try one more dress, so she ran back behind the curtains to pick out another one. As Amber was changing for the fifth time that half hour, Sofia was pondering on what just happened with herself. She had been staring at her sister and was actually liking what she was seeing. And not in the way one would like seeing a beautiful painting. Sofia found herself being attracted to Amber. Sofia's cheeks were burning again as she recalled the event that just transpired. Sofia realized she was blushing again and tried her best to shake these intrusive thoughts. But as she did so, Sofia turned around and noticed that the curtains were slightly ajar.
Amber had been in such a rush to try on the next dress that she had forgotten to close the curtains all the way. They weren't opened very wide, but it was just enough to where Sofia could see inside. Sofia knew it was a bad idea and complete invasion of privacy, but her curiosity was getting the better of her. She took a step forward and took a quick peek inside. What she saw made her eyes wider than the castle dinner plates and her heart was racing a million miles an hour. She saw Amber just putting on the next dress she was going to wear. but she was still in the middle of putting it on and she got a good look at her legs just as the hem of her skirt was coming down. Sofia watched on as Amber finally got her dress on and made her way towards the curtains. Almost in a panic, Sofia quickly backed away just in time as Amber revealed herself again.
"And what about this one?" Amber asked. Sofia really couldn't look at her, partly because she was mentally smacking herself for doing such a terrible thing. But the main reason was because she knew her face was as red as a tomato and didn't want Amber to see. Amber noticed that Sofia was acting a little weird and grew a little concerned. She slowly walked over to her step-sister and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you alright Sofia?" she asked. Sofia slightly jumped at the sudden contact and quickly glanced over at her sister. Amber looked at her with a concerned expression and Sofia willed herself a small smile.
"I'm fine Amber," Sofia said. "I'm just not feeling well. Now let's see what dress you have on." Amber smiled and stepped back a bit to let Sofia take a good look at her, twirling around as she did so.
"So what do you think?" she asked. Sofia looked at her up and down again, studying the dress and trying not to stare too much at Amber's figure. It's true the dress indeed looked lovely on her, but it didn't look quite as well as the last dress did.
"I think the Night blue dress looked the best on you," she said. Amber smiled even wider.
"You really think so?" Sofia nodded. "Alright then. Night blue it is." With that, Amber ran back behind the curtains, only this time the curtains were closed all the way. Sofia was tempted to try to sneak a peek again, but shook her head of the thought. She mentally cursed herself for even daring to think of doing such a thing again. She even almost smacked herself for real but decided against it, not wanting to make her face redder than it already was. Soon Amber came out from behind the curtain again in her usual yellow dress and grabbed Sofia's hand, pulling her out of the room.
"Come on," she said, "Dinner is almost ready and we don't want to be late before James takes all the good stuff." If Amber decided to look back in that moment, she would have noticed Sofia staring at the joined hand with a face so red and wide eyes. Sofia didn't realize she had been staring at their entwined hands for so long until Amber let go, causing her to look up and seeing that they were already in the dinning room where everyone else was already seated awaiting their arrival. Sofia shook her head and cleared her thoughts before making her way towards her usual seat next to her mother, and in front of Amber.
Dinner was quiet enough, save for her father talking about the day's events to everyone. Sofia wasn't really paying attention, mainly thinking of her own events of today. She thought of how she stared at Amber's figure in those dresses and when she was able to see Amber's legs from behind curtains. She even thought about how much she enjoyed what she saw, which scared her a little. She was in such deep thought that she almost didn't hear her mother talking to her.
"What?" she asked her mother. The Queen frowned slightly in concern.
"I asked if you were alright? You haven't even touched your food." Sofia looked down at her plate and realized that her mother was right. She hadn't touched her food all that much, and tonight it was her favorite food. Sofia turned towards her mother and tried to put on a convincing smile.
"I'm fine Mom," she said and she began eating her food, a little bit too quickly. Her mother raised an eyebrow at her daughter for a moment before returning to her conversation with her husband, who hadn't seemed to notice Sofia's behavior.
Sofia ate her food at a normal pace after a few minutes and had accidentally knocked a fork off the table. She bent down to pick it up, but when her head was under the table she suddenly looked in front of her. There, she had a perfect view of Amber's slim ankles. Sofia couldn't help but stare at them until something happened that made her heart race for the third time today. As Sofia had been staring at her ankles, Amber had had an itch on her right leg and reached down to itch it. In doing so, she pulled her dress up until it almost reached her knees, giving Sofia a clear view of her bare leg. It was such a mesmerizing moment that Sofia didn't notice that had picked up her fork and was now trying to sit up when she banged her head under the table. She quickly sat up on her chair and rubbed her now aching head. She then looked around her and noticed that everyone was staring at her. She chuckled nervously and held the fork that she dropped.
"Heh heh, dropped my fork," she said before she returned to eating her food, eating at a faster pace once more. Everyone else continued to stare at her. Sofia couldn't bear to look up at them because of how embarrassed she was. She quickly finished her food before everyone else and excused herself before quickly running to her room. Once Sofia was in the safe haven of her room, she quickly shut the doors and ran straight to her bed and buried her face in her pillows. She spent a good half hour thinking about her actions today.
She had been staring inappropriately all day at her sister, her sister! Albeit it was her step-sister so there was no blood relation whatsoever, but that wasn't the point. She felt disgusted with herself. She had been staring at a family member, and it was a girl. Sofia didn't know what was going on with her. Having feelings for a girl was bad enough, but her sister? She knew she had feelings for Amber but had always thought that they were just sisterly feelings. Feelings of having a close bond with someone. But all those thoughts went away after today. Sofia had now come to the conclusion that she was attracted to her sister, and that now terrified her. Mainly because she was afraid of what her family might think of her, or more importantly; what Amber would think of her. She couldn't bear to have Amber look at her with hate and disgust, that would utterly destroy her. She knew she had to keep this a secret, from everyone. Nobody can know about this. Not even her close friend Clover. Her best bet was to get over these feelings for Amber and soon. Her thoughts were then shattered as she heard a knock at her door. Sofia sat up on her bed and looked to the door.
"Come in!" she called and the door opened. And sure enough, the one person who had been on her mind for most of the night was standing in the doorway. Amber walked into Sofia's room and closed the door.
"Are you alright Sofia?" she asked. "You've been acting weird all night." Though she was far from alright, Sofia put on her best smile and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered. "I just haven't been feeling well lately." Amber continued to walk into the room and sat down on the bed next to Sofia. Sofia sat up straight so they were eye level. Amber examined Sofia's face for a few moments which caused Sofia to blush under her watchful gaze and look away.
"Your face has been getting red lately," Amber said as she placed a hand on Sofia's forehead. Sofia almost stiffened at the touch but tried to relax, not wanting to offend Amber in any way. Amber kept her hand where it was for a moment before removing it, much to Sofia's relief, as well as her disappointment.
"Well you don't have a fever," Amber said. "Maybe you just need some rest." Sofia nodded her head quickly, wanting to get out of this situation.
"Yeah," she replied while smiling nervously. "A good night's sleep will probably do me a world of good." Amber smiled at her sister before standing up from the bed. She then stood in front of Sofia and took her hands in hers.
"Well goodnight Sofia," she said. She then leaned in and gave Sofia a small kiss on her forehead. Sofia's eyes widened at the contact and was frozen in place. She could feel her cheeks burning like fire as Amber let the kiss linger for a little while longer. Finally, Amber pulled away and smiled down at Sofia.
"Feel better." With that Amber turned and left the room, Sofia's eyes following until she disappeared behind the door. Sofia just stared at the door for a while longer as she slowly reached her hand up to where Amber had kissed her. She stayed like that for at least a minute before finally leaning back and falling down on her bed. She placed her hands on her face and let out a small groan. She then let her arms fall out across the bed as she stared up at the canopy above her.
"What am I going to do?"
(NEW)A/N: Thank you all so much for reading this. Again I cannot apologies enough for being gone for so long. I hope you can all forgive me. Also, I am trying to make this story as continuity to the show as possible. However, with that being said, I will be disregarding Season 4 almost completely. I've found that there are far too many contradictions in that season that I feel would not be good for the overall story of Strange Feelings. I mean I could incorporate a few things from season four into the story in a new way. For starters, I found the lore of Vor and the Wicked Nine to be part of the contradictions I mentioned. That just didn't make sense to me. But please let me know what you guys think. And I will be back with more in the coming days.
Also, I've launched myself a P4TR3ON. page for those who would like to help me with my writing career! Now this is completely voluntary and you do not have to do anything. But for those that do wish to support my work, anything will help. Even as little as one dollar will be more than helpful. I can't promise much, but I can promise you guys my absolute best and I hope not to disappoint all of you. Link to my P4TR3ON is in my profile! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this!
