Finding You Always

Breaking Glass

Chapter 89: Breaking Glass

Aladdin arrived, looking wearily at the cavern made of ice ahead. As he walked in, he saw the Snow Queen standing before a broken mirror and he watched curiously, as she carefully floated a shard back into place.

"It's done. They should find their way here soon," Aladdin reported.

"Excellent," she said, as she handed him the scroll.

"A deal is a deal. Happy travelings," she said. He turned away, but then stopped for a moment.

"If you don't mind my asking again, what are you going to do to them?" he asked. She smirked.

"Do you really care what happens to a couple of royals?" she retorted.

"No...but they do have five children, two quite young. I don't fancy participating in orphaning them since I myself went through that," he explained. She smirked again.

"Those children have many others to care for them. They won't be orphans," Ingrid soothed.

"So you are going to kill them," he accused.

"I have nothing...you of all people know what that's like. They stand in the way of me getting what I've always wanted," Ingrid said.

"And what's that?" he asked.

"A family," she replied.

"Why not have your own family? Find someone...have a child, you know the normal way," Aladdin suggested.

"Emma and Elsa are my family. No one can understand them like me," she snapped. He sighed.

"Fine...good luck with all that. Hope you're happy with your family and the murder you're about to commit," he said, as he trudged out of the cave. He looked at the scroll and felt a bit guilty about what he was letting Snow and Charming walk into.

He stared at the scroll and then shook his head.

"They'll be fine," he growled, as he intended to leave this town and this realm behind forever.

The Enchanted Forest

Approximately six months before the Dark Curse

Snow and Charming exited the carriage in front of the small cottage and joined hands. They were exhausted and he had fussed over his wife, insisting that this could be done later. But she was insistent. She wanted that old relic that had almost saw to it that their baby(and her) had no future as far away as possible.

"Snow..." he said, stopping her. She sighed.

"I just want to get this over with, Charming," she replied.

"I know...me too, but after what we've been through, I think we deserve a little breather," he said.

"What did you have in mind?" she asked. He smiled gently and caressed her beautiful face.

"We're several hours from home and dusk is approaching. There is a village close by. I'm sure they have a decent inn we can stay at for tonight," he said.

"I don't know...we should really get back. This isn't over...there's still the curse," she fretted.

"And when it is time, you'll go through the wardrobe and raise Emma," he reminded.

"Without you," she said tearfully, as he took her in his arms.

"I know...it won't be easy, but I have faith that you'll save me as I saved you," he replied. She wiped her tears away.
