Chapter 30

The rest of the way was quiet. Everyone was thinking about this quest and how it might be their last. "We're here" Hook suddenly whispered and automatically everyone stopped walking. The castle was huge. Bigger than Robin (or any of the others) had ever seen in their lives. "How the hell are we supposed to find some herbs here?" Robin asked hopeless. "These herbs you're searching for are magical, which means we can find them using our magic. The hardest part will be beating whoever owns this castle" Regina answered. "That's why we've got them" Hook nodded towards the pirates and Robin started to believe in their quest again.

"As quiet as a mouse" Hook put a finger on his lips and gestured for the pirates to follow him. They'd split up later and whoever found the owner of the castle first would yell for help. Robin followed aunt Regina and Zelena. They wouldn't split up and they would search for the herbs together. "If it's precious she's hiding it close" Regina said. As they agreed they walked as quiet as they could through the castle, trying to find the place where one would hide magic.

Hook was the first who got into trouble. The castle was apparently guarded by living animals. A tiger approached him. He was angry. Hook rolled his eyes and grabbed his sword, beating the tiger pretty quickly. He wasn't hurt at all. But unfortunately he had made sounds and more sounds were approaching him. He quickly hid behind a door as three guards, humans, passed by. When they didn't notice Hook he jumped them from behind. They were startled and didn't fight back the first seconds. That gave Hook the opportunity to knock one of them unconscious. The other one grabbed his axe and swung it towards Hook's head. He dodged it and rolled over the ground. Before he had the chance to poke into the guy's ankle, the guy had stepped away. He swung the axe for a second time, hitting Hook's upper arm slightly. He let out a groan and continued to fight until he was unconscious as well.

"We're close, I can sense it" Zelena whispered. Regina agreed and they got a little excited. "This must be the dining room" Robin pointed out. She was right. There were clean plates on the table. "Maybe there's a hidden door?" Robin shrugged. Before she realized what happened her mom and aunt were searching every inch of the place. "I think I got something!" Robin yelled a few minutes after she'd started searching with them. Yes! A hidden hatch under the chair on one end of the table. "Step back" Regina said calm as she used her magic to open it. It was pitch black down there and all three of them shivered. "I guess this is the place" Zelena said sarcastic. "Who goes first?" Robin asked. Regina volunteered and slowly took the first steps down the stairs. It creaked a lot and they all held their breaths. If they only had any idea of what was waiting for them downstairs...
