Fear Will Be Your Enemy Chapter 28: A Letter From The Past
The 6 friends got back to Arendelle and immediately went to check on Kai and Gerda from when Scarecrow dosed them. They got to the room where the castle's head servants were recovering in. Anna straight away asked the doctor, "How are they?". "They're perfectly fine now. The toxin seems to have weared off and they are not in fear anymore.", informed the doctor. "Great.", said Anna. They went over to the two of them. Kristoff asked, "Are you guys okay?". "Yes. I'm sorry if we scared you. I don't know how to describe how I felt.", said Kai. "Same here.", said Gerda. "When you guys are ready, we would like to inform all citizens that it's safe to return to the kingdom and also to move the Halloween party to tomorrow night.", requested Elsa. "Of course, Your Majesty. In fact, I do feel like my old self again. So, I'll get right on that.", said Gerda as she left the room. "Will everyone be back here in time for tomorrow night?", Jacob asked Anna. "I think so. We didn't send them away too far away. Just enough to escape the blast radius. They should be back here tomorrow afternoon for the party.", said Anna. "So, did you still want to go together, Elsa?", asked Jacob. "Sure. Would love to.", answered Elsa. He was really glad to hear that. "Isn't it kind of weird that we're having a Halloween party on November 1st?", asked Sven. "Like I said, I love Halloween. And a lot of people aren't over it the exact day after. Sometimes, not even for months and some even are looking forward to the next one the following year. So, no.", said Jacob. "I just like to party and dress up!", said Olaf. "I'm going to retire for the night. If that's alright, Queen Elsa.", asked Kai. "Of course. You and Gerda have been through a lot tonight, Kai. We all have. The whole kingdom has. Goodnight, Kai.", said Elsa smiling. "Thank you, Your Majesty.", said Kai as he bowed. "Kai, you and Gerda are practically family, you can just call me Elsa and my sister Anna.", said Elsa. "Very well, Anna and Elsa.", said Kai as he left. Gerda was getting stuff for preparations in her room. She was looking through an old trunk, but stopped when she came across a letter wrapped in string. It couldn't be more than 3 years old, which was around the time King Agnarr and Queen Iduna left for their voyage. She untied the string, opened the letter, and read it. She then had a sudden rush of memory hit her. The now deceased king and queen had instructed her to give this to their daughters while they were away. But, their deaths were so sudden, they somehow made her completely forget to do just that. After fully reading it, Gerda immediately went to the princess and the queen. In the room where Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven, and Jacob were, Jacob wanted to make sure that Elsa was okay from what she went through by asking, "So, you're doing okay after what you went through?". "Yes. Like Bruce, what Crane did to me is over now. I feel even more free than I was before. Even after I revealed my powers to everyone here and after The Great Thaw.", she reassured him. "That's great to hear.", he said smiling. Gerda came into the room and said, "Forgive me for intruding, but I have an important message for both of you from your parents that they left for me before they left for their voyage to give to both of you. Their sudden deaths somehow made me completely forget to give it to you. I'm so very sorry.", said Gerda. "It's okay, Gerda. How about you go get some rest and we'll take care of welcoming everyone back and the party tomorrow.", said Elsa as she took the letter that Gerda was giving her. "Very well. Thank you.", said Gerda as she left the room. Elsa opened up the envelope and was literally crying tears of joy once she started reading it. The rest saw this and Anna asked, "What does it say?". Elsa began to read the letter aloud to the others. "Dear Anna and Elsa, recently your mother and I have been thinking about our decision from long ago to separate you two from continuing the close relationship you two had. We were beyond wrong to do what we did. We never should have taken away Anna's memories of Elsa's powers and ruined both of your childhoods. We made you both social outcasts and we are so very sorry to have done that. I now remember very clearly that Grand Pabbie told Elsa that fear would be her enemy and we did the exact opposite of that. We made Elsa succumb to her fears and that was very wrong of us as both the king and queen of Arendelle and especially as parents. So please, while we're on our trip, we want both of you to return to Grand Pabbie so he can return Anna's memories of Elsa's powers to her and have fun together again. You guys are old enough to open up the gates and welcome everyone to Arendelle like it was years ago. But most importantly, let Elsa reveal her magic to the citizens of Arendelle, as well as the world. We're begging of you, Elsa to never let your fears dictate your life again and to be free and happy. I promise you that things will be different and happy like they were before when we get back. We wanted to give you this letter so you can get a head start while we're gone. Again, we hope you can forgive us for what we did and that you know we love you both with all of our hearts and know that you both will become strong and caring women with pure loving hearts. We are already proud of you because we know that's who you two will become. We'll see you both in 2 weeks. Love, Mom and Dad.", Elsa read aloud. (That whole idea was from the Frozen storyline in Once Upon A Time. One of the main points of this story is for the heroes to overcome their fears, especially Elsa, and of course Batman as well. I have no idea what will happen in Frozen 2, but I have a strong feeling that King Agnarr and Queen Iduna are still alive and if so, I want them to be better parents to both their daughters. Especially to Elsa. Maybe even apologize to keeping their daughters secluded all their lives and to almost forcing Elsa to let fear run her life. But of course, I'm not sure yet. We'll just have to wait and see when it comes out.) Afterwards, both sisters were crying tears of joy and they looked at each other very happily. They then shared a big hug and were still crying happily a little bit. They then unhugged and Anna asked, "You okay, sis?". "Yes. Now I feel like I'm so free from fear and regret that I feel like I can touch the stars and planets.", said Elsa who had a big loving smile on her face. "Yeah, me too. I feel great too.", said Anna who was smiling as much as her sister. "I'm so happy for both of you.", said Kristoff. "Me too. I just kind of wish that Gerda would've remembered to give you that letter or even tell you that themselves face to face 3 years ago. Then, maybe The Eternal Winter would've never happened. Like I said, it honestly seems like it's their fault that whole thing happened in the first place from what you told me.", said Jacob. "True, but it is what it is. I'm just glad that our parents actually thought this before they died.", said Elsa. "You're absolutely right. Of course. I'm sorry. Again, I just hate that they did that to you guys. I am glad they actually felt that way because of what you just read from them.", he said. "I'm glad you care so much.", said Elsa. "Of course I care. You guys are almost like my best friends now and I feel like I really fit in with all of you. Also, if it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't have had been able to team up with and get offered lessons by someone I really admire.", said Jacob. "Wow. That really means a lot that you feel like you fit in with us. I'm also really things worked out with you and Batman.", said Elsa who was giving her most beautiful smile. "Me too.", Jacob said as he smiled back. "Awe! I feel so warm and fuzzy from hearing Elsa read that letter aloud and the love that we're all sharing together!", said Olaf cheerfully. "Well, it's been a hell of a night! So, I think I'm going to head to bed.", said Kristoff. "Me too.", said Sven. "Alright. Goodnight, guys. And thank you for everything.", Elsa said to both Sven and Kristoff as she walked over and hugged both of them "Of course, Els.", said Kristoff. Kristoff then went over to Anna and kissed her goodnight. "I'll see you tomorrow, Anna.", he said. "Me too. I mean, see you tomorrow. Not see me tomorrow because even though, I can't actually see myself. Unless, I'm standing in front of a mirror.", said Anna as she was in one of her goofy and ongoing speech corrections. "I know what you mean.", Kristoff assured Anna. Kristoff and Sven then left to go to the stables to sleep after the long and frightful night everyone has had tonight. Even though, Anna and Elsa gave Kristoff a guest room, he still insisted on staying and sleeping in the stables with his long-time best friend, Sven. "I think I'm heading to bed too.", said Olaf. Olaf waddled over to Jacob and asked, "Goodnight hug, bud?". "Of course.", said Jacob as he bent down and hugged the little snowman. "And you were a hero tonight, Olaf. By fighting for what's right and protecting Arendelle as well as Gotham. You were very brave and you did a good job. Thank you for all you did.", Jacob told Olaf. "Wow. Thanks, man. That really means a lot.", said Olaf smiling all the more. he then moved towards the two sisters and hugged them both. "Goodnight, little guy.", said Anna. "See you in the morning.", said Elsa. "Goodnight, guys!", said Olaf as he walked out of the room. "The princess needs her beauty sleep. So, I'm hitting the hay as well.", said Anna. She then hugged her older sister and then the guy who fainted at the front door of the castle a couple days ago, but since then, has already become a very good and very close friend. Even though, she agreed to marry someone she met that same day who seemed great at first, but turned out to be evil and greedy, she knew Jacob could be trusted. Especially after all he did to protect everyone from Scarecrow. "Goodnight, guys.", said Anna. "Goodnight.", they both said to Anna almost simultaneously. Anna did want them to be alone for a second after Jacob revealed his feelings for her older sister when he was under the effects of Crane's fear toxin in the warehouse. She's also sure they would have plenty of time together at the party tomorrow night since they seem to still be going together. Jacob wanted to talk to her more, but he felt as if she's been through enough because of dealing with a maniac, overcoming her fears once and for all, and reading a letter from her dead parents saying they were sorry for what they did to her and her sister and to make things right. He decided to just say goodnight and see her tomorrow and to still be her date to the party. "Goodnight, Elsa.", he said as he was leaving the room. Before he could leave, she asked, "No goodnight hug?". He turned around and said, "Right. Of course.". He walked over and hugged her goodnight. They then unhugged and looked into each others eyes for a second until she said, "Thank you again for everything, Jake. You helped save Arendelle, Gotham, and me from Crane's sinister reign of terror. As far as I'm concerned, this is your home. If you would like to stay?". "Um, sure. I would love to.", he said as he was very flattered by what she just offered. "And if anything, you're the true savior. You saved both Arendelle and Gotham by clearing out the gas with your snow. As well as you saved yourself from Scarecrow by beating the drug in your head. I honestly don't think I could do something like that.", he told her. "I guess you're right. Although, I think it was a big team effort.", she said. "I'll see you in the morning.", he said to her. "Yes. You need a rest after tonight. It's been an emotional, adventurous, and scary night for all of us, but then again, it is Halloween night. And it all turned out fine in the end. I need rest too. The queen needs her beauty sleep.", she said smiling. "You're beautiful enough already. Even without sleep.", he told her. "Thank you.", she said while slightly blushing. "Goodnight, Your Majesty.", he said. "Yes. Goodnight, Jacob.", she said. He then turned around to go to his guest room and he really could not stop thinking how he felt about her. And unknown to him, in the room where he just left, she was feeling the same way about him. They both could not wait for tomorrow night.
