Chapter 7: Shattered Sight

Previously on Once Upon A December...

"Everyone take a ribbon. As long as we hold these ribbons, we will be there for each other."

"It was an accident. Please, Idunn."

"You killed our sister! You're a monster!"

"This spell of yours. It will bring out the darkness in everyone in this town.

"It'll tear themselves apart until everyone is dead."

Location: The Beach, Storybrooke

Kendall's POV

Elsa, Emma, and I had tracked Anna's presence using her snowflake necklace as a locator spell which had been retrieved earlier by Elsa at the ice wall. But there was no sign of Anna.

Elsa spoke worriedly.

"I don't understand. She should be here."

Emma came over to us.

"Elsa, I'm sorry, but magic isn't always perfect."

"So even though it's still glowing, because she's not here, it means..."

I gently took her hand.

"The search is over. Thirty years is a long time, Elsa."

"You think something has happened to her, and this has all been a mistake?"

Emma shook her head.

"I think we need to deal with the problem in front of us right now. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry Emma, but I still have faith. I still believe she's alive..."

Elsa stopped. I turned to her.

"What is it?"

"It stopped glowing."

I hugged Elsa tightly.

"I'm sorry."

Elsa looked down at the necklace.

"This was my present for Anna's wedding. It was with our mother's things, but to us, it was new. And I turned it..into the last gift I gave her."

Emma turned to us.

"Elsa, I'm so sorry, but it's almost sundown. That cloud is going to hit anytime. We have to go. Everyone is going to turn on each other, and something tells me that being immune to the curse is not going to stop them from attacking us."

"I failed," replied Elsa. "I deserve to be attacked."

She began to cry.

"This..this is all I have left of Anna. Now I'll never know what happened to her."

Elsa went towards the ocean and brought the snowflake necklace closer to her.

"Anna..wherever you are, what ever happened to you all those years ago, I'm so sorry I didn't find you. I still have faith. I know you're out there somewhere. I won't give up hope. I just wish...I wish you were with me now.."

Emma came over to us.

"Come on. We got to.."

But she was cut off as a bright purple light appeared in Elsa's hand. The necklace was glowing.

"Something is happening."

Elsa looked around worriedly.

"Do you think it's my aunt's spell?"

I shook my head.

"No. Look..it's pulsing. Almost if it's honing in on something."

Suddenly the water in front of us turned into a whirlpool, and a blast of magic sent us flying back into the sand. After the magic had dispersed, I helped Elsa up.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Just then we heard coughing. We looked to the ocean, and washed up onto the shore was a chest. Inside was a young woman with bright red hair, and a man with scruffy looking blondish brown hair.

Elsa gasped.

"Anna?"

The woman instantly perked up, and looked over. Elsa ran to her.

"Anna!"

"Elsa!"

The two sister hugged each other tightly. Kristoff hugged his sister in-law as the three reunited. Elsa called me over.

"Anna, Kristoff. This is Kendall."

I shook Kristoff's hand.

"Nice to meet you."

"Same..This is an amazing miracle. But it's a cold miracle and we're both wet. Can we get warmed up?"

I nodded.

"Right. To the fairies!"

As we ran towards Granny's, we didn't notice a bottle covered in coral pop up from under the waves. Inside was a piece of paper. When we arrived at Granny's, the fairies were gone. The counter-spell wasn't ready, so we prepared for the worst and headed for the police station. David reunited with Kristoff and Anna to she was known as Joan, which Anna explained was a code name.

Then David and Mary Margaret locked themselves in the jail cell while me, and Kristoff were cuffed to the desk. Elsa came over to me. I gently took my free hand and cupped her face.

"Elsa...no matter what happens...I will always love you."

"I know."

I kissed her, and pushed her away once the sound twinkling of glass came through the ceiling. I looked up, and the curse took over. The glass entered my eyes, and my vision cracked.

Mary Margaret was staring at David.

"Prince Charming. Finally, I see you clearly."

"And what do you see?"

"A fraud. A Shepard who has no business being royalty."

I faked yawn.

"Yawn. If you seriously have problems with your dear Charming then you got another thing coming Snow."

"Oh, just shut your mouth."

Kristoff groaned.

"How about you all shut up? I want to go home, and be just a normal ice harvester."

Location: The Snow Queen's Cave, Later That Evening

Elsa's POV

We entered Ingrid's cave home, walking around trying not to alert her. Before we arrived we stopped by Regina's vault, and the hatred from Regina that was formed by the Shattered Sight spell broke the ribbons that were placed on us by Ingrid's love when Regina attacked us. Just then Ingrid stepped out.

"You two have no idea how long I've waited for this moment."

She gasped.

"You're ribbons...what have you done?"

Emma frowned.

"I'm not one for accessories."

"Those ribbons joined us together."

"Get it through you head, lady. We're not your sisters, and we're never gonna love you."

"Oh, Emma. I know you actually believe that. And..it makes me sad. But I know it won't last because, soon, you'll see you're wrong. Even so..the only way to stop me..is to kill me..and both of you are hesitating."

I gently covered my stomach.

"I don't want to kill you, but if I have to protect my friends and my unborn child..so be it.."

Emma and I prepared to fight, but we both heard Anna's voice.

"Stop!"

"Anna, no. Get back. She's too dangerous."

Ingrid stared at Anna.

"You should listen to my sister and go!"

"Your sister? She's mine and whatever you're going to do...well..don't. Elsa, I found this on the beach. It's from our mother."

Anna showed me a piece of paper.

"That's mother's handwriting, and the royal seal..."

"She must have thrown it into the ocean before the ship sank. It came over in the portal with us. You need to hear this. You all do."

Anna looked at the letter and began to read.

"Elsa, Anna, I don't know if your father and I will ever get back to you, but I need you to know we were wrong to tell Elsa to conceal her powers."

Ingrid interrupted.

"How fitting that you, who are so much like your mother, should share her last words."

Ingrid was about to wave her hand, but stopped as Anna continued.

"I feel terrible that it happened before, and I can't let it happen again."

Ingrid gasped.

"What?"

"My sister, Ingrid, like you, also had ice powers. I never told you about her or my other sister Helga, but I should have. They were beautiful and kind, and wonderful, and I was fearful. And I let that feel guide me. I let Ingrid hide when I should have celebrated her for the person she was. I loved her so much."

"You're lying!" cried Ingrid. "My sister hated me! She called me a monster! She put me in that urn, just like you did to Elsa!"

Anna continued to read.

"In the attached crystal are the memories of my sisters, which I stole from the people of Arendelle. Please return them. My sisters deserve to be known. In a cave in the North Valley, you'll find an urn that contains Ingrid. Please do what I should have done long ago, and release her. When you see her, please tell her, I love her..and I'm sorry. I'd give anything to take back what I did, to hold her hands one more time."

Ingrid let a burst of magic go, and knocked us all down. I quickly shielded my stomach from the fall. As I looked up, Ingrid touched the crystal on the letter, and went ridged, before looking at us with realization. She went to her knees, and began to cry.

"Oh, Idunn...What have I done?"

Ingrid stood to her feet and went to her mirror.

"I need to reverse this.."

I gasped.

"You can't..the only way is.."

"I know..I have to destroy myself."

"No, Ingrid..wait!"

But it was too late.

"There's no other way. I am a monster, not because of my power, but because of what I let them turn me into. I have to undo this."

"No, Ingrid. You'll die."

My voice began to break as shards of glass surrounded Ingrid.

"I know..it's okay. Elsa..Anna..you found each other. And, Emma, you found your family, even if it wasn't with me. You..you deserve your memories."

She waved her hand over the memory rocks and our memories were returned.

"Ingrid...please..don't go.."

"I have to. But before I go..if you have a baby girl..please..name her...after me?"

Tears were rolling down my face.

"I will."

Emma stepped forward.

"There's got to be another way. You deserve your happy ending too."

Ingrid smiled sadly.

"Long ago, a prophecy told me that you would lead me to just that, Emma. And this is it. All I wanted..was to have my sister's love, and..now I have it. Now..I get to join them."

Ingrid turned into snow and was gone.

Emma looked around.

"She sacrificed herself..for all of us.."

I hugged my sister tightly.

"Anna..."

"Elsa...what did Ingrid mean by if you have a baby girl?"

I laughed sadly.

"You're going to be an aunt."

"Really? Oh..this is going to be great..well..not great for you..cause you'll have to carry the baby for nine months..."

"Anna..You're rambling. I've missed that."

I hugged her one last time.

"We have to follow through on our mother's last wish. We must bring back the memory of Ingrid and Helga to the people of Arendelle."

Throughout the town of Storybrooke the curse was broken. Everyone was reuniting with each other as we walked through the Town Square. Snow was falling softly. Then I heard Kendall's voice.

"Elsa!"

"Kendall!"

Kendall ran over to me and and embraced you.

"I thought I would never see you again. Is the baby..?"

"Our baby is fine..."

Emma reunited with her parents, and Anna reunited with Kristoff. Later that morning, we gathered at the ice wall around the town. Anna gasped at the site of it.

"Wow..that is a lot of ice."

"And it's time for it come down."

I gently took Kendall's hand.

"Together?"

"Together," he replied.

We outstretched our hands and the wall melted down by our magic.

Anna smiled.

"Okay. Now..can we go back home?"

Anna bounded towards the line, but Emma stopped her. Apparently, Ingrid spell was still intact. Soon we had figured out another way to return home. There was a door in the mansion where Emma had almost had got rid of her powers that would be able to take us home. Kendall was having Granny's homemade lasagna for one last modern world meal.

"I'm going to miss this stuff," he said.

Anna gasped as she saw the door.

"Crocuses! Arendelle crocuses! Elsa, we're almost home!"

Emma stopped Anna from opening the door.

"Maybe I should open it. Magic can be unpredictable."

I sighed.

"It would appear this is it."

Emma smiled softly.

"It would seem so."

Anna came over.

"Thank you for taking such good care of my sister."

"It's kind of what we do, Anna. Now don't you all have a kingdom to save?"

"We sure do. I hope Hans isn't too comfortable on that throne 'cause I'm going to knock him off the minute we get back."

Kristoff chuckled.

"Calm down, Feisty-pants. We'll get him. And the second we're back..maybe we could get married? Just a thought.."

I smiled.

"Emma..thank you for everything..You've done so much. I could never repay you."

I hugged Emma goodbye.

"It's time. Please, thank Hook, and Mr. Gold for us, as well."

Emma opened the door, and Kendall walked over.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Always.."

We stepped through the door, and suddenly came face to face with a young man, a young woman with a red cloak, a girl no older then eleven, and a baby boy.

"Does that door lead to Storybrooke?"

"Yes, and you are?"

The man smiled.

"Saber Glazebrook. This is my wife, Red, and our kids, Anita and Billy. Can we go through?"

"Sure."

The man, his wife, and his kids stepped through. Anna and Kristoff came next.

"Hey, did you know that Mr. Gold is Rumpelstiltskin?"

"What? The wizard who you stole the magic hat from? Who stole it from a sorcerer's apprentice?"

"Yeah. I told Emma and everyone else to check in on that."

Kendall sighed.

"That doesn't matter now. What matters is getting our home back."

I nodded, and led the way into Arendelle.

Location: Arendelle, Time: A couple days after Hans was defeated.

Kendall's POV

It had been a couple of days since Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and I had defeated Hans. Hans wasn't expecting me by any means. Once we had defeated him, we shipped him back off to the Southern Isles. Me and Elsa were staring at a portrait of Idunn, Ingrid, and Helga. A bright diamond ring adorned her left ring finger. I had proposed to Elsa the night before, which she accepted. Her advisers on the other hand weren't too happy about the fact that Elsa was pregnant prior to our marriage, but once I made a trip to where my kingdom once stood and I found an old painting of my family, which managed to survive a fire, and both the first and second curse, and brought it to Arendelle, they went quiet.

Anna came up behind us.

"Isn't it beautiful? I found it hidden in the east wing."

Elsa and I turned around to find Anna in her wedding dress. Elsa gasped.

"What?" asked Anna. "Is it my hair? You're right. I should have worn the braids."

Elsa smiled.

"Anna. You look absolutely perfect."

"Well, not perfect," Anna replied. "Have you seen these bruises?"

I chuckled.

"Did you see Han's eye?"

"Yeah. Totally worth it. Okay. Let's get this wedding on the road. I mean on the aisle."

Anna walked away, but stopped. Elsa smiled at her sister.

"Anna..why did you do it? Why did you postpone your whole wedding just to find out the truth?"

"Elsa..you're my sister. I couldn't walk down the aisle unless you were as happy as I was."

"Anna, I'm...very happy."

The two sisters hugged before Anna smelled something.

"What is that amazing smell?"

Both sisters smelled the air before saying...

"Chocolate!"

The two sisters giggled.

"You ready, Anna?"

"Ready, Elsa."

The three of us took each other's hands and we walked out of the room and into the church...

Together...
