I got an inspiration from the book called "Anna's Icy Adventure", so I decided to create another fan fiction about our favorite sisters.
Now, we all know Elsa spent most of her life trying to protect her sister and Anna loves her sister in spite of their isolation. Therefore, in the end, they both saved each other.
In this, well… I just wanna show a deeper side of Anna and her love for her sister. (She may be optimistic, but she struggle some self-confidence. Just saying.) Furthermore, I was experimenting with my ideas on this fan fiction, which is why this is a bit complex. Anyway, I hope you'll like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Frozen. It is one of Disney's greatest masterpieces.
This is far worse than the negative emotions we felt all those years. In fact, I have never seen her so helpless before. Yes, you can count that she became very helpless and hopeless since she froze Arendelle, but this is different. This is worse when I froze to death where only an act of true love can save it.
The past three days, the Elsa that I know is somehow shrouded in a blanket of disease. Her skin is paler than usual. Her body temperature went higher. She's warmer than me or anyone else in Arendelle! I may be exaggerating, but sadly, it's true. Sometimes—No, always—I always pray that I should be the one who's been suffering and not Elsa. She doesn't deserve this, I should!
Then again, I shouldn't be saying that. I know it'll just make things worse. Besides, I should pray for Elsa's recovery for I know that she will feel the same way if she were in my situation.
I sniffled. I've never seen her like this. My heart is breaking whenever I see her suffer. The doctor said that she might recover in five days, but how come there is no sign of recovery yet? I know it hasn't been the fifth day, but I want Elsa to recover as soon as possible. I know I should always look at the positive side, but I can't help myself whenever I see her state. I just want to hug her and tell her that I'll be there for her no matter what. I'll be the first person whom she'll see when she wakes up.
I heard the door creaked open and looked at who is coming in. It turned out to be Olaf.
"Hey Anna," He approached and sat beside me. "Maybe you should rest. I'll watch Elsa for you. Have you eaten your dinner?"
I smiled at Olaf's concern. "I did. Thanks Olaf. Just… give me half an hour then you'll take watch."
I see Olaf smile. However, this is not his regular, cheerful smile. It is somehow a bitter sweet smile or a weak smile. In general, let's just say that this is the one smile we hardly see at Olaf. "You know, you're the saddest person when Elsa's fever got worse."
I sighed in defeat and bit my lip. It's true.
"But we have to remember we need to think positively and wait patiently. Elsa will get well. I know she will."
I smiled at his optimism as the words started to sink in. "Thanks Olaf."
Olaf is right. Minutes ago I was not myself. It's the exact opposite. Now, I feel a bit better. "You've been a great help… Of course… we have to think positively. I know Elsa will get well." I said as my determination went back. "I know she will."
Olaf suddenly squealed, which I can't help but giggle at his anticipation. "That's the spirit Anna! I'm glad you're finally back!"
That made me realized something. "Wait, what?"
"You didn't know, do you?" He asked as if he's trying to give me a clue.
I nodded. Yes, I didn't know. I was so busy thinking and caring for Elsa that I hardly know what is going on around me. I feel like a terrible person now.
"Anna," He started and he held my hand. "whenever we see you. You're… kind of different. In a nutshell, you are not yourself, and because of that, everyone is also worried about you."
I smiled at their concerns. I never knew that. "Thanks Olaf, and… I'm sorry if I also made you guys worry. I was just so worried about Elsa that's all, but I'm fine now, thanks to you."
Before Olaf can say anything, there was a knock at the door. It opened and we saw *Gerda peering behind it.
"Your highness, the doctor is here. He'll do the check-up."
I stood from my seat. He's here. Thank God. "Yes," I then took a glance at Elsa. "Come in."
The doctor came in. It looks like he has brought some assistance.
"Your highness," He and the nurse said politely.
Honestly, there is no time for this, but I opt not to complain. Instead, I nodded politely. "Thank you for coming. Please, help my sister."
The doctor nodded then went closer to Elsa to observe her. "How long was she asleep?"
"For three hours. It should be five hours by now, but Elsa woke up at six and went to the bathroom. It turned out that…" I shivered. Not because of the heavy rain and wind outside, but it's because… It's because… Elsa… She…
"That what your highness?" He asked. He seemed that he knows what happened, but wants assurance.
"Elsa c-coughed blood." I finally finished and bit my lip. I didn't know what to do back then, that's why I just gave Elsa the simplest medicine—and that is water. The water did work, but only for a few minutes then she started coughing again. After that, she went to her bed and fell asleep. I feel sorry for Elsa for I didn't know what to do.
"This is bad." I heard him mutter, but I pretend that I didn't quite hear it.
"Pardon?"
"Supposedly, the Queen should be a bit okay by now. She should not have coughed blood. That is according to my hunch."
What he just said made me worry. "Will she be alright?" I asked again.
"We'll do what we can your highness. But… now, you have to leave us here. We need to have a little check up on your sister."
"Wait, what?! No!" I quickly said, not thinking about the consequences. "Elsa needs me! I promised that I'll be here for her! I can't just—"
"That's okay Anna." A familiar voice said which surprised not just me, but everyone else in the room. Elsa was awake! For how long?
"Elsa!" I quickly ran beside her and without any hesitations, I hugged her. "I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"
I felt Elsa hugged me back and soothes my back. This is not how it should happen. I should be the one who's making her feel better by soothing her back. "It's okay Anna. I just woke up."
I released our hug and placed my left hand on her left shoulder. "Elsa, I should be the one who's soothing you. I…"
"Hey," She holds my hand, which is still warmer than mine, and smiled. "don't worry. I'm the older sister; of course I should soothe you."
"But you're the sick one." I respond then pouted my lips. I know that, but she really needs me now. I'm so foolish sometimes—okay, most of the times.
"Besides," She continued and sits up straight. "you should do what the doctor says. I'll be fine. I promise."
I sighed in defeat. Well… it's… what my sister wants and I'll do it.
"Let's go Anna." Olaf grabbed my hand and we left Elsa's room.
As much as I want to stay, I had no other choice. I know Elsa is in good hands.
*I have no idea if Anna and Elsa call Gerda by her name or just simply "Ma'am" (you know, as a sign of respect since she's way older than them), so I'll just let them call her by her name.
You might ask, why Anna? I love Elsa too. I really do, but what makes Elsa so extraordinary is her complexity, if we further explore her personality, we will lose her complexity—which I find it a bummer.
Besides, Anna had so much more improvement on her character. That's why if Frozen will ever have a sequel, just leave Anna the protagonist and Elsa the deuteragonist. Oops, sorry, I may have started an argument, but can you spare me on this one?
Anyway, thank you so much for reading. Until next time guys! :D
