❝ no ! ❞
the moment her mother settled near her, Elsa recoiled sickened
with the fear that the fate which had befallen Anna would seize
the well-being of the woman who had given her life. & what a
life it had become. as young children within the kingdom would
fill the breeze with their laughter, their princess was left observe,
longing growing to suffocate her young heart.
❝ i don’t want to hurt you ! ❞
ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ ɪᴛ !
ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ғᴇᴇʟ !
how could she trust that no harm would come to those close to
her when this storm raging inside was ERRATIC, UNPREDICTABLE.
she couldn’t witness Mama & Papa’s disappointment again, she
couldn’t see that fear on their faces - fear of HER - fear of the
repercussions of her powers.
& so little feet shuffled back farther into the corner, farther
from the arms that were to cradle her, protect her, assure
her that everything would be okay.
❝ —— don - don’t come any closer. please. ❞
The Queen froze, her heart aching at her little girl’s
pleas, before she moved back a little. This was what
Elsa wanted, and they had always said they would
respect their daughters’ wishes as long as they were
sensible, but this didn’t seem it. This was reinforcing
Elsa’s beliefs in any threat she could possess. And so
for once, she disagreed with her husband. He had
given in. She would not.
And so, furrowing her brow, Idun stood and approached her again.
Only a little, just a little. But enough for her to be back in that
sphere Elsa didn’t seem to like them entering.
"You aren’t going to hurt me, love.“
Her voice was calming, like she’d use when her children
were babies or toddlers and wept, needing comfort. When
she could so easily lift them into her arms, swaddle them
in blankets, protect them from anything.
"You aren’t, I know you aren’t.
Now tell me what’s upset you so. Did something happen?”
