Little Things (Helsa)

In A Hurry

(ANNA)

I knew I had to talk to Elsa right away. It was late at night but I couldn't wait a single moment longer. Something felt wrong between us and I needed to fix it. I had seen her locked away in her room too many times before, and I was not going to let this moment become one of those times. Even though I had caused pain and fear for my sister I felt hopeful as I walked down the corridor to her room. I knew that she would brighten up when I told her we would work together to bring Hans and herself together. My hand touched the door knob and felt cold; just like after our parents died. I opened it without knocking and saw Elsa holding a steak knife in front of her.

She looked up at me and I could see the desperation in her eyes. She said, "Anna, I can't think of anything else to do.." I walked up to her and asked for the knife. She gave it to me and I put it back on the dinner tray. The food was still untouched. All I could do was hug her and try to make her see that she would live and be happy. We ended up sitting on her bed in silence for a few minutes. I finally broke the awkwardness and said, "Elsa, I know what I said earlier was mean, but I know now that you love him and he loves you. That you have forgiven him and want him to be able to live out his life here. I know it'll be hard but, I want you two to be together."

She almost laughed, although I couldn't figure out why. "Anna.. the people will never accept it. They'll think I've gone crazy or he's blackmailing me and controlling the kingdom. They'll never let us be happy together. I finally know that now. I keep trying to tell myself that maybe in a few years, if Hans decides to stay, that maybe we could try making it work. But I can't imagine him still wanting me years after I'm forced to reject him.. I'll lose him Anna, and I'll never be happy again.." Tears swelled up in her eyes and frost crept everywhere in the room. I wrapped my arms around her and she collapsed, sobbing. "Elsa, you are stronger than this. I don't care what it takes, you two will be together and both of you will be happy. He loves you Elsa; he would wait until the world ends for you."

She lifted her head when I said that and asked, "You really think so..?" I nodded my head and smiled hopefully at her. She sat up and dried her eyes and smiled. "Well, if you think he would then I'll have to have faith and wait. You're the best sister in the world Anna." I blushed a little and giggled. We sat there chatting for a little longer about Hans and all things girl talk. Elsa was starting to come back to her regular self and I could see her eyes light up.

I realized how late it was and left her to get some sleep. I was sure to take the dinner tray with me so she wouldn't have the knife with her, and I told her I'd check on her first thing in the morning. I returned the tray and walked back to the prison. I had one more person I had to talk with.

(HANS)

I knew Anna was sorry, but her words still stung. She was right that Elsa and I would never be together; I was a fool to have thought otherwise. Her people would never accept me. I might be able to figure out how to make a living here but I would certainly never be allowed to come near Elsa ever again. I was closer to her now than I would be for the rest of my life.

Anna surprised me when she appeared at the cell door. She told me she had spoken with Elsa and cleared a few things up. She saved the best news for last as she confessed that she would help us be together. My heart started pounding with joy and I exclaimed, "Thank you Anna!! Thank you so much!" She chuckled slightly and wished me a good night. I couldn't imagine having a better one in my life than the one where I knew I could be with Elsa.
