Finding You Always

A Storm Is Coming

Chapter 93: A Storm is Coming

Present Day - New York City

Six months since the spell of Shattered Sight

Ursula mixed up the chum with barely restrained disgust. The last six months in the Land Without Magic had been nothing short of humiliating. Here she was, Ursula, daughter of Poseidon, practically Queen of the damn sea, feeding chum to creatures that had once revered and feared her.

She knew it was temporary and necessary to survive in this land. But that didn't make it any easier. They had learned very quickly that in this land if you had no money, you didn't have shelter or food. Not so different from the Enchanted Forest she supposed. But Ursula grew up as the daughter of a God. She was used to a certain kind of life. And even after leaving her father, she had always had magic to get whatever she wanted.

But this land had no magic and so she slaved at this job for next to no pay. The worst part was they were no closer to finding Storybrooke. Zelena knew it was in Maine, but as far as any map or the Internet was concerned, no such place existed. So they struggled to survive or at least she did.

Upon their arrival in this land. Cruella had taken an entirely different approach. It had taken her exactly one month to climb the social ladder and arrive at the altar with one of New York City's richest and most ruthless business men, Marvin Feinberg. Cruella never had an issue with sleeping her way to money and power. Mr. Feinberg was a particularly horrid man. His organization was dirty and he was a criminal, though seemingly untouchable. Exactly Cruella's type. A terrible person for another terrible person. Except Cruella was even more terrible, for once she managed to get her name on everything, Ursula knew she'd sell her husband out to the police. Cruella assured her then she could quit this horrible job and it couldn't happen fast enough for the sea witch.

While Cruella's methods were irritating, at least she was doing something to further their cause. Unlike Zelena, who refused to get a job and lived off Ursula, while constantly complaining about their impoverished situation. Ursula missed her tentacles, for she rarely found a moment where she didn't want to wrap one appendage around the redhead's neck and squeeze. But they would need Zelena's powers when the time came. For now, she was stuck here in this aquarium, feeding fish gust to creatures she considered beneath her. But she would see to it that he heroes paid for her humiliation.

Present Day - Storybrooke

Six months since the spell of Shattered Sight

Six months of relative peace had been a very welcome thing in town. For the Charmings, the town's normal riff raff and troublemakers ensured that the Sheriff's department wasn't bored. But it was normal crimes, like shoplifting, bar fights, and the occasional domestic altercation. But no villains wielding magic and it was a refreshing change. Snow and Regina continued to run the town, as Mayor and deputy Mayor respectively. And Snow was very much enjoying the return to normal, especially when it meant her husband wasn't too busy to come have lunch with her(or have her for lunch, as he was often intent on doing).

Like today, because she could tell when he walked into her office that afternoon, food was the furthest thing from his mind. She wasn't sure how after thirty years of marriage he could still get her hot and bothered with just a look, but she was forever grateful for the amazing relationship they had. There was no couple quite like them, who could know each other's thoughts with a simple glance, whose kisses could still make them see stars, whose simple touch invoked so much love that they frequently found themselves still in awe of each other. There was a reason only they could boast the title of truest loves. It never dulled or lessened. Their love and passion was like a constant, inextinguishable flame, burning inside them like an inferno.
