Chapter 2: Journey to the Past
Elsa's POV
"Goodbye, Goodbye everybody!" I shouted to all the other kids in the orphanage.
I've been living in the People's Orphanage since I was a little girl. Mother Gothel has fed me, clothed me and kept a roof over my head. But since today is my 18 birthday, She's kicking me out.
"I got you a job with the Ice harvesters. You go straight down this road, then go left."
"Goodbye!" I said as she gave instructions.
"Are you even listening?" She yelled.
"Yes, I am, Mother Gothel."
She then grabbed my jacket sleeve and started pulling me to the gates. "You have been a pain in my side since you arrived. You and that 'special gift'. Freezing up the heater, ice skating in the house. Let's just say I'm glad you're leaving."
"It's not my fault." I said
"Then who's is it?"
I just shrugged. She rolled her your eyes.
"Just be grateful. I had to pull a lot of strings to get you this job."
She then started telling me the directions again.
"And then go left." I said as she said it.
She huffed. "How can you remember that but you can't remember anything else from your past? Not a clue?"
"I do have a clue." I said.
"Oh right. Together in Paris. If I haven't heard that a million times."
"Well it must be true." I said as I looked at my necklace.
"Elsa, It's time you stop dreaming of fairy tales and get into reality." Gothel said. She unlocked the gate, threw me into a snow bank and locked the gate.
"Together in Paris!" She then started laughing.
…
I continued up the road, insulting Gothel as I went.
"Dreaming of fairy tales. Ha. I'm in reality, witch!"
I came to the fork in the road. The sign on the left said ICE FIELDS. The other to the right said, CAPITAL CITY.
"Go left, she said." I said. "Well, I know what's left. Elsa the orphan. But if I go right, I could become someone better."
I grabbed the necklace. The light blue and silver designed shined brightly in the winter sunlight. The person who gave me this must have loved me, but why did they send me away, or fight for me.
"I must be going crazy. Me, go to Paris. Just to find answers."
I then shouted to the sky. "Send me a sign. A hint. Anything." I sat down and waited.
Just the I felt my scarf come out of my pocket. I looked to see a small white and black spotted puppy. He was running around with my scarf.
"Give that back." I said as I tried to retrieve it. The small puppy was able to get me on the ground. He wagged his small tail as he skipped over to the path that lead to Capitol City.
"Oh you're cute." I picked him up. He had only three spots on his belly, his front legs and a little of the top of his head were brown and he had some orange on his snout.
"I'm going to call you Olaf." I said.
Just then I realized that Olaf already lead me down the right path.
"OK I can take a hint."
I took a deep breath, and began to walk.
Heart don't fail me now
Courage don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey to the past
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally, home where I belong
Well starting now I'm learning fast
On this journey to the past
Olaf and I came across a family. I used some of my magic to entertain the kids. I waved goodbye as we left.
Home, love, family
There was once a time
I must have had them too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you
One step at a time
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road may go
Back to who I was
Onto find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home
At last.
I made it to Capitol City. The Crown Jewel of Arendelle.
I grabbed Olaf and headed to the train station.
It was my turn to get the ticket.
"One ticket to Paris, please."
"Exit vista." The man asked.
"Exit vista?"
The man laughed.
"No exit vista, No Ticket for you." He then slammed the door.
Just then a woman tapped me on the shoulder.
"See Jack Frost. He can help." The woman said.
"Where can I find him?" I asked.
"At the old palace. But you didn't hear it from me." She said.
We're moving along with the story. Hope you are enjoying it
