A/n So this is my first Once Upon a Time fanfiction. I've been working on this since the hiatus, but between school and life I have just gotten to writing it down.
Please tell me what you think.
Without further ado chapter 1 of Good in Goodbye
Elsa's POV
When Emma opes the portal I enter first, knowing if I went last I couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't not go through, stay with the savior and the people in this strange little town where former evil queens and pirates are some of the first people you call when there's trouble and a giant wall of ice is just another thing to keep people in town, the one who created it not to be considered dangerous if one person or one group of people say she's not. Where there's more then just me who has magic. And if given the chance I can't guarantee I'll go back to my responsibility to my kingdom and my sister, but I know I have to so after saying my thank yous I turn my back on the savior, my savior, and her family I slowly walk through the portal that's supposed to take us home.
When I take the first step on the outside I nearly fall on my face, the heels I have on not meant for the sudden terrain change, or forests for that matter I muse as I look around to find myself in one, I don't ponder this long because right after me comes Kristoff and finally Anna.
Looking at the forest it's easy for all of us to tell that the portal didn't take us to Arendelle, but where we are I'm not sure "Where are we?" Anna asks looking around
"Not Arendelle," Kristoff says
Before he can continue I speak up "We're not in our realm, there's no magic here." I tell them after repeatedly trying to form even a small snowflake and failing
"What do you mean?" Anna asks sounding worried
"I mean, I can feel it, but I can't use it, what ever realm we're in doesn't have magic." I say trying to sound calmer then I am, I had felt this feeling of being cut off from my powers before in the urn, I loathed feeling like that again
"Well we are near somewhere." Kristoff says pointing to an old well in a clearing a little ways away
Some small part of my mind says I've seen that well before but I can't place it as I get closer to it I feel a pull down a different path "I think we should go this way." I motion the way it was pulling me as we had no way that seemed like a more viable option they follow me.
We all walk forward we come to a cliff, we can see for miles but what shocks all of us is the clock tower maybe a mile of so away from us, "Storybrook." is all Anna says getting excited "someone there has to know what happened with that portal."
I share a look with Krostoff "don't get too excited, Anna." He says calmly
"We don't know why there's no magic or why we're still here, plus listen," I say only for the sounds of the forest to surround us
"What?"
"There's only animals, no people, the merry men, Ruby, and several other people, there's always someone out here, but not now." I explain
"Well we can either go and see if it is Storybrook and maybe get some answers or we can wander around and hope to find someplace else. Quite frankly I vote we go to the town." Kristoff says then points a couple hundred yards away "It looks like there's a bridge down that way." He says as he begins walking toward the bridge, Anna an I follow, a sense of trepidation engulfing my body.
As we enter the town with a 'Welcome to Storybrook' sign
"Oh, I was right, it is Storybrook!" Anna says excitedly
"Why haven't we run into anyone in these woods yet, and why can Elsa use her magic." Kristoff tempers her down a little
We pass by the cemetery and just by pure instinct I walk toward it looking around I notice the two stones, Graham's or Neal's, that Emma had shown me, in fact the last death had happened in October of 1983, the curse that all of Storybrook was under for twenty-eight years was still in effect, Emma hadn't broken it. Which meant we hadn't traveled to Arendelle, we had traveled back in time at least 5 years, maybe more.
I explain this to the other two what that could mean for us, we're very likely stuck here, at least until the curse breaks. They both look solemn and I can tell we're all thinking what that extra time could cost Arendelle but we also know there's nothing else we can do at least until magic returns.
"So we're stuck for some unknown length of time," Anna asks
"At least until Emma breaks the curse."
"How long will that be?"
"…That depends…"I begin, as I'm start if Emma is here, if she is, magic will be back within a year, we maybe will able to leave within the year… if she's not it could take awhile. It could also take longer if we need more than just magic." I say wearily not wanting to get their hopes up, I can't help but wonder if we'll have to wait to get home until the second curse that will bring everyone in Storybrook back to the Enchanted Forest again, if not Zelena's curse, if she succeeds that is, to get back to Arendelle, if we wait til then we may be able to get back to before she was frozen by Ingrid, or more just after and allow all that happened in Storybrook to continue without leaving Arendelle in Hans' hands.
I'm jolted from my thoughts by a voice "Hey!" The voice behind me yells just before a hand grabs my wrist and pulls me back and spins me around, just a few feet behind me a car speeds where I was about to step.
"Thank you," I breath out as I begin to look at the person who pulled me out of the way "you just saved…" I see stunning green eyes, blond hair and a red leather jacket, Emma "…me."
