I Finally Found You (1)

28: Goodbye

This chapter will be a bit longer than others because I felt guilty for not updating as frequently as I should be😁 So here is my 2K+ chapter!

(Emma's POV)
Killian and I rounded up my parents and Elsa's family and brought them to the location that Regina sent me. "This is it," I say as we stand in front of a mansion. "Alright, let's get you guys home." We all walk through the front gate and I open the front door to let everyone in.

We enter a room filled with old and delicate objects. "Finally, you guys are here!" Henry runs in from another room.

"Hey kid, do you mind showing us to the door?" I ask.

"Right. This way," he leads us into a room with nothing but a door and Regina standing next to it.

As we all make our way into the room, Anna gasps at the sight of the door. "Crocuses! Arendelle crocuses! Elsa, we're almost home," Anna exclaims.

"Indeed we are," Elsa says with a smile.

"Emma, before we leave, I would like to return something to both you and Elsa, something that I had no right to take in the first place..." Ingrid finally speaks up. I tense up at her words, still not fully trusting her.

Ingrid reaches into her pocket and pulls out two purple stones. "These stones contain your memories, memories of my past with you, memories that I have taken from both of you," Ingrid explains to both Elsa and I. "You deserve your memories." Ingrid then waves her hand across the stones and a trail of purple magic begins to float towards both Elsa and I's heads. I close my eyes as memories of Ingrid and I come flooding back

How she believed in me.
How she took me in and raised me as if I was her child.
How she loved me as her daughter.
How I ran away from her because I thought she was crazy.

I open my eyes to see Ingrid standing in front of me, feeling guilty. "I had no right to take those memories from you both, and I am deeply sorry. Emma, I'm glad that you found your family, your real family. I apologize that I tried to take that from you," Ingrid says to me.

"Everyone makes mistakes, even big ones. But everyone also deserves a second chance and if you do not try to harm anyone else, then all is forgiven," I say, still a little unsure whether or not to trust her.

"Thank you," Ingrid says and her face lights up with a smile. "And Elsa, I'm very happy that you and Anna found each other, and I regret trying to keep you two apart."

"We accept your apology, Aunt Ingrid," Elsa says. Ingrid smiles again. Elsa turns to look at me. "So this is it," she says and grabs my hand.

"It appears so," I say.

"Thank you for taking such good care of my sister," Anna says to me.

"It's kind of what we do," I reply with a smile.

"It was our pleasure!" Mary Margaret says from behind us. "Now, don't you all have a kingdom to go save?"

"We sure do. I hope Hans isn't too comfortable on that throne 'cause I'm gonna knock him right off the minute we get back," Anna says looking determined.

"And the second minute we're back, maybe we could get married?" Kristoff says and Anna chuckles. "Just a thought."

Anna goes over to say farewell to my father. Elsa takes both of my hands in hers, "Emma, thank you for everything. You've done so much, I could never repay you," she says sincerely. Then we both hug each other, despite everything, we were friends. We understood one another. When we release from our hug, Elsa turns to Killian.
