Yellow Fever

Epiloque

TEN YEARS LATER

Elsa sighed as the familiar land appeared, "You'll love it."

Austin smiled, "I bet I will."

A few years ago, Elsa and Austin had met at Anna's and Kristoff's wedding.

The two began to see each other and eventually, they got married as well.

Elsa had given birth to a young girl, she named Erika.

Anna had twin boys, Jackson, whom she named after Jacklyn, and Christopher, after Kristoff.

"I can't believe it," Merida smiled, "you'll love it mum!"

She grabbed onto her fiance, Anthony's, arm.

"I bet things have changed for the better." He murmured into her ear.

Elinor smiled and looked up.

The Vikings had chosen to journey with them by night, and by dragon in the day.

Hiccup waved to them and they waved back.

"I hope she survived..." Merida whispered.

"Emily!" Rapunzel sighed, "Leave your brother alone!"

Emily whined, "But I don't wanna!"

Eugene snorted and picked up their five year old son and placed a hand on his eight year old daughter, "Maybe you'll make a new friend there!"

Emily sighed and nodded.

Anna jumped around.

Jackson and Christopher laughed as she did.

"Leave it to your mother to be this excited over a trip," Kristoff said, "but it's understandable."

The two young boys looked out at the land in the distance.

"ELSA!"

"ANNA"

"ELSA, ANNA!"

"RAPUNZEL!"

The trio of cousins hugged.

Then a cough filled the air.

They turned and saw Merida, Hiccup and Astrid.

They all hugged.

"So," Valka smiled, "take us to the Overland's home."

They nodded and led their parents into the forest and towards a familiar log cabin.

Elinor smiled as she saw a woman exit the house with a young girl who looked about nine or ten years old.

Anna couldn't bare it any longer.

She ran towards the snug little building and bumped into Lucinda, "Sorry!"

Lucinda chuckled and looked surprised, "Anna?"

Anna nodded.

The others took that chance to make an appearance as well.

"And you brought the others...I'm guessing along with your parents and children?"

Anna nodded.

Lucinda smiled, "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you all."

Elinor nodded, "We were told so much. I hope you don't mind my asking but is she alright?"

Lucinda stared at her, "'She?'"

"Jacklyn," Hiccup said.

Lucinda smiled as she looked behind them, "Ask her yourself."

The group turned and saw a beautiful fifteen year old girl walking over.

Her chocolate brown hair fell to her waist in natural waves.

Her chocolate eyes were filled with warmth.

Her brown and white gown was simple, a brown cape was thrown over her shoulder.

In her hands was a wooden staff.

"Jacklyh," Lucinda said, "I want you to properly meet the people who helped you when you were ill."

Jacklyn turned to them.

Merida coughed and stepped forwards, "I'm Merida."

"Anna."

"Elsa."

"Kristoff."

"Eugene."

"Rapunzel."

"Astrid."

"Hiccup."

Slowly, everyone else introduced themselves, all stepping forwards as they did.

Jacklyn laughed lightly, "Jacklyn Lunar Overland. It's a pleasure."

Lucinda let out a gasp, "It's time!"

Jacklyn nodded and ran off.

Rapunzel smiled, when she noticed her bare feet. She lifted her skirt, revealing her own bare feet.

Elinor chuckled, and walked over to Lucinda, "My daughter told me about her experience, I think she felt bad for leaving."

Lucinda nodded, "Her fever broke weeks after they left. Near her birthday."

Valka and Rosalinda walked over to them.

"I think all of our children were affected by this."

Joseph ran over with a smile, "I saw them. I'm guessing your their families?"

Valka nodded and watched as Julian, Stoick and Fergus walked over to Joseph.

The men began to talk, letting out laughs every so often.

Everyone gathered by the fire. The children all sitting close to the it.

Jacklyn walked over and put her staff down, "Okay everyone! It's that time again! And I come bearing a new tail!"

The children cheered.

"Tale?" Fergus wondered.

Joseph nodded, "Jacklyn tells the best, if not the most ridiculous, stories."

Lucinda slapped him gently, "You love them as much as the children."

"Now," Jacklyn began, "once, long ago, in a forest much like our own, two children were wandering, playing swords and dragons. But, they paid no heed to the sun's position, and it soon grew dark."

She threw something down and vanished when it cleared, though her voice could still be heard.

"And with it, came the feared Boogeyman!"

The children gasped.

"He would use his powers to create horrifying shadows. And used the fear to give himself power."

Rapunzel grabbed onto her son, Flynn, and Eugene held Emily.

Elsa grabbed Austin's hand, while Merida took Anthony's.

"The two children walked quickly."

Foot stomps could be heard.

"But, they were tripped by a root, hidded in the darkness!"

The children gasped, yet again.

"The Boogeyman approached them, his skin a dead gray. His hair black as night. His eyes golden pools that held no warmth. He leaned over them and said, 'Do you believe...in the Boogeyman?' The children were about to scream for help, when..." Jacklyn jumped forwards, scaring several people. She smiled and picked up two branches and stuck them to her head, "a moose appeared!"

Everyone laughed at this.

A moose?

"The moose stood ont it's hind legs and began to stomp them."

Jacklyn turned around and faced her own shadow. She began to lift her legs high before stomping them. She did this in the most ridiculous form she could.

"The Boogeyman watched the moose," she stopped stomping, "and said..."

Everyone leaned in.

"Dinner time, the rest will be heard another night!"

The children groaned, "FINISH IT NOW!"

Jacklyn laughed, "Sorry, but...if you finish early, I'll sing for you."

The children quickly ran off to eat.

Elinor smiled, "Those that always work?"

Jacklyn nodded, "They enjoy my company since I'm a big kid myself."

Her parents nodded as Emma ran over and pulled Jacklyn away.

Jacklyn smiled over her shoulders and waved to the others, who waved back.

Eventually, the visiting tribes and kingdoms had to leave.

But not without new memories.

The next year, they all received a letter from Lucinda:

My Dear friends,

While I am writing to you, I am afraid I bare terrible news.

On December 21,

Jacklyn's birthday,

she passed on.

She died, when she fell through the ice at a nearby pond.

She risked her life for Emma's.

It is with my deepest apologies and greatest gratitude, that you helped her survive, only for her to be taken away.

The pond has since then stayed frozen.

Why, we do not know.

Yours truly,

Lucinda Overland.

Review!

Kura: Dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuuuuunnn! Yes, the sequel will have our favorite winter spirit! I needed a dramatic end, so I figured, why not make Jacklyn die, and then the sequel will be even more awesome!

Sakura: Thanks for reading Yellow Fever. Remember to keep an eye out for new stories and updates on old ones. We had to set back our update for "Winter in Darkness," and apologize to those waiting. The sequel to this story is being written, and a trailer will come out soon.
