Finding His Way To Her [OUAT || RUMPELSTILTSKIN || The Crocodile's Love #7]

Chapter 12

It's been a week since Victoria's death and Jacinda and Lucy went to Victoria's grave, laying flowers by the gravestone.

"Every story comes to an end but who gets to decide when that is? Or whose story it really is, anyway? I came to Hyperion Heights to unravel a mystery," Henry said in his podcast.

It was raining as Henry walked down the street.

"What drove a powerful real-estate developer to try to buy up an entire neighbourhood?" Henry said in his podcast.

At Roni's bar, Naomi walked into the bar and Regina was pouring three drinks as she walked up to Regina and Zelena who were behind the bar. Naomi put her bag down as Zelena handed her a drink and the three of them shared a toast.

"What deals did she have to make? And what other secrets was she keeping?" Henry said in his podcast.

At the police station in Weaver's storage unit, Mr Gold took out a file with information about Victoria as Daniel and Rogers walked in.

"These questions continue to haunt this neighbourhood even after her untimely and tragic death," Henry said in his podcast.

Outside by the Rollin' Bayou food truck, Sabine found a discarded newspaper with Victoria's obit on the front cover.

Henry walked into the bar as he met up with Regina, Zelena and Naomi, they all smiled at him as he returned the smile.

"I've tried to answer these questions myself. But every stone I uncover just leads to another strong. And then there's the most important question of all... What could possibly happen next? I invite you to join me to find out. Welcome to H-Town," Henry said in his podcast.

Regina looked at Naomi, "So, you gonna tell us where you've been running off to?" Regina asked.

"Nowhere..." Naomi said.

"Are you sure? Whenever it's the end of the day, you literally run out," Zelena said.

"Nothing, I've just been... I don't know... My mind's been elsewhere," Naomi said.

"Phina..." Regina said.

"Nothing's going on," Naomi said.

Flashback

Regina, Naomi and Ella prepared Tiana for her coronation.

"Stunning, Your Majesty. All you're missing now is your crown," Ella said.

Henry and Flynn walked in, "Yes, well, I recommend you put it on and step outside," Henry said.

"There's quite a crowd waiting for a glimpse of their new queen," Flynn said.

"Okay," Tiana said.

"How do you feel?" Naomi asked.

"Nervous," Tians said.

"Oh, don't be. After heading the resistance to defeat Tremaine, you've proven you're a leader," Regina said.

"It's true, you have," Naomi said.

Eudora, Tiana's mother, came into the room, "I have to agree with your friends, Tiana. If only your father were here, he'd be so proud," Eudora said.

Dr Facilier appeared in, "Indeed, he would be. Of course, he's not the only one," He chuckled, "Enchante, Princess," Dr Facilier said.
