Love Everlasting {Helsa}

all hope is lost.

-ELSA

We've been sailing for a little over two days now and I have to admit... I have not been enjoying myself. It got so bad to the point that I froze the deck and the whole crew slid all over the place! I was mortified but the Captain reassured me that I had nothing to worry about. I was safe, and I started to believe him but I couldn't help but be nervous. My parents didn't make it back, so what will assure me that I will...

"Your Majesty," the Captain's words pull me from the horrible thought. I can't think that way.

"Yes, Captian?"

"We have arrived."

"Wait, what?" I walk towards the side of the ship and sure enough, in the near distance, I spot it, the Southern Isles. Just from first glance, I can already tell that it's larger in size compared to Arendelle. I can see people roaming through the rather large village and the castle sits further back, towering over the entire town. It's a beautiful castle. Such a beautiful place.

I began to feel my heart pound rapidly. I'm terrified. I had seemed to have forgotten why I'm here in the first place. I'm not here to explore or merge a kingdom, I'm here to sentence someone and not just any person... Hans. Why did I agree to this?

You wanted to see him again.

Yeah, okay I know that's why but why the hell did no one talk me out of it!!

"Your Majesty!" I look at the Captain and his gaze is on my hands. They had been resting on the ledge and now it's frozen over. Conceal, conceal. I close my eyes and breathe. Not this again, I really need to get it together.

"Sorry Captain, yes, thank you for safe passage."

"Of course, Queen Elsa, and please don't apologize. I can't imagine how difficult this must be, and I commend your strength."

"Thank you, Captain." With that, he bows and walks away.

I look to see that we have reached the ports, and we are beginning to dock the ship. My feelings have yet to subside, and I don't think they will until I return to Arendelle. Arendelle. It's funny really, I never thought I would ever get to travel outside our borders. Yet, here I am. I had always dreamed of travel, the places I would go to. Anna and I always looked at our fathers' maps and imaged ourselves in different parts of the world. Anna... What she must be feeling right now. So betrayed and lied to. It's such a strange feeling really, I know that I haven't been the best sister yet I continue to lie... I continue to push her away. It's like I'm trapped within myself, and the only thing that I feel is emptiness, pain. She doesn't deserve that, I know she doesn't. I'm so glad that she has Kristoff, I haven't known him for long but he's a good man, someone who will give Anna the life she deserves. A life she could never have with me. My life is done. 

I can't think about that right now. I just want to get this over with and get out of here.

"Queen Elsa..." I turn only to gasp and be taken off guard. He towers over me and his eyes are a muted shade of green, worn almost. His hair a vibrant auburn. The resemblance is hard to miss. "are you alright?" he finishes.

I compose myself, "Yes, sorry, it's just that you look so much like..."

"Like Hans?" he finishes for me.

"Yes, like Hans."

I see a flash of sadness linger in his eye but it's quickly replaced with anger. I can only imagine what he must be going through. Not only had Hans betrayed me, but he also betrayed his kingdom, his King, his brother. 

"What a shame really, my brother leaves to attend your coronation only to be returned to my kingdom as a traitor... some might even say... monster."
