Family is Everything [Jefferson Hatter || OUAT || Mad Red #5]

Chapter 30

At the Underworld's Charming loft, they had brought Ruby back there but she was still unconscious, they laid her down on Mary Margaret's and David's back as Rose Red was healing Ruby with her magic, "Is she okay?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Why is she down here?" David asked.

"She's not..." Blaze said worriedly as her father placed his arm over her shoulders, comforting her.

"No, she's still breathing and yes, she's okay... Just knocked out," Rose Red said as she stopped using her magic.

"Well, how long do you think she'll be out?" Mary Margaret asked.

"I don't know. Regina and Emma hit her with some strong stuff," Rose Red said.

"Where has she been since she left Storybrooke?" David asked.

"We don't know. She went to find her pack," Mary Margaret said.

"They're dead, but we haven't seen anyone," Regina said.

"I've already looked, all have moved on," Jake said.

"I'm glad," Blaze said.

"Any explanation for what she's doing here?" Jefferson asked.

"Just this," Emma said as she pulled out a piece of fabric from Ruby's cloak.

Flashback: Oz

A few months ago, Ruby and Mulan were running through the woods, they had met in the Enchanted Forest and not Mulan was helping Ruby to find her pack.

"Over here. This way," Ruby said.

"Right behind you," Ruby sniffed the air as Mulan breathed heavily, "What is it?" Mulan asked.

"I lost the scent again," Ruby said.

"Ruby, it's okay. We'll find your pack and find a way back to your sister to get her to join you," Mulan said.

The two of them were walking down the dirt road, "Tell me everything you know about this land," Mulan said.

"There's supposed to be a lot of singing," Ruby said.

"Singing?" Mulan questioned.

"Well, there was in the movie. I saw it in Storybrooke. I think there was a book, too," Ruby said.

"Ruby, this isn't a book or a movie," Mulan said.

"Well, whatever it is, there's no trace of my pack's scent. I don't think they were ever here, to begin with," Ruby said.

"Well, we better start looking for a way back to the Enchanted Forest," Mulan said as she turned around and started to walk back.

Ruby sniffed the air, "Wait," She said.

They heard a creature snarling, Mulan drew her sword and they stood back to back, ready to fight.
