Rosemary Book: 2

CH 12

After Henry had woken up from his dream and informed Charming and Regina that Emma and company were fighting against a woman named Cora. Regina took action.

Both adults left to find Rumpelstiltskin for help. Meanwhile, Rose stayed behind to watch over the boy. Henry finished getting dressed and found Rose in the kitchen. Recognizing the ingredients she had laid out on the table, then hearing a ding alarm from the oven. Making it clear to him what she was trying to make. Again...

"Oh no. Are you trying to make a souffle again?" He asked her. Rose playfully glared back at the boy and put on her oven mitts.

"Yes I am. But this time, I will get it right. This time I'll be a souffle girl!" She excitedly said as she pulled out the pan from the oven. But one look at the now burned up black color souffle told her that she failed... again. Henry peeked to see and patted her back.

"It's okay, Rose. Not every girl can cook."

She narrowed her eyes at him.

The adults, including the kids, met up at Gold's shop. Regina was tucking Henry on the bed that Gold had in the backroom.

"So Corra, she's very powerful." Henry guessed out loud. He knows that if this person was just some person, she would be easy to handle alone. But if the Evil Queen, the Dark One, and Prince Charming are joining forces, then that must mean something.

"More like super crazy. No one is more powerful than papa." Rose told him. Rumple smiled to himself when hearing her say that.

"I think" she mumbled to herself, but her father did catch that.

"Are you doubting me, your father? The Dark One?" He asked her, slight sad. Rose couldn't help but roll her eyes at her papa for being dramatic. But it helped to clear things up for Henry.

"I am not doubting your power. I am just concerned that one day you may meet your match." She explained.

"I'm sure with my mother's and your father's way of magic, they can be very similar" Regina commented. Regina knew her mother's magic so well, and Rumple was both their teachers.

"Papa did teach her magic." Rose agreed. She remembered her father's insane long term plan that included teaching Cora magic. Gold was not fond of watching the two women talking about him and his magic.

"I can and I will outsmart her." He defended. Regina was the one rolling her eyes with a smirk.

"Debatable."

Charming ignored the feud between the two and focused on making sure that Henry was ready for his trip back in the dark room with fire. Even if Charming disagreed with Henry returning to that place, deep inside he knew there was no choice. It was the only way to communicate with the others to save Snow and Emma.

Henry had fallen asleep from a riddle that Rumple told him to give them. But all too soon, Henry had woken up with fear in his eyes. He had woken up too soon. Even they knew that there was no way that the message got through so quickly. Something had gone wrong.

And something did. Causing Henry to get burned on the hand again. Fortunately, Gold was able to heal him fast.

"If someone is being forced to wake up from that world, there would be risks. My guess is, someone woke Aurora before her soul was ready to return. The violence of that act tore her away and injured Henry. We're lucky it wasn't worse." Gold explained.

"So I just need to rest and then go back." Henry decided. To his shock, David and Regina both immediately objected to his idea.

"There's no way you're going back there. We'd be monsters if we did that." David furiously said. Yes, he wanted his family back. BUt he did not want to take chances of losing Henry, his grandson, too.
