Serendipity

Chapter 9: Fall

The Shattered Sight is spread on Storybrooke. Mr Gold meets the Snow Queen into the woods. "Well done, dearie. It appears you've won and I'd like to make a deal."

"You have nothing that I want." The Snow Queen muttered.

"Well, perhaps I do. This spell of yours, when it hits... In a few hours from now? It'll bring out the darkness in everyone in this town."

"It'll do more than that."The Snow Queen went on,"They will tear themselves apart until everyone is dead."

"Not everyone. You'll have what you want... You alone with your "sisters" Elsa and Emma doing who knows what, and I'll be here, too, spending every waking moment of my immortal life trying to rip your heart out. I have an eye for a loophole, and I think I've spotted yours. My wife, granddaughter, and grandson will be destroyed by this spell, so I want you to allow them to leave with me. You spare the three of them, I spare you misery. Do we have a deal?"

The Snow Queen let out a heavy sigh. "Enjoy your trip."

Meanwhile everyone else is gathered at the clock tower. "Belle was right."Elsa sighed,"My aunt is actually doing this. The spell of shattered sight."

"Everyone relax, ok? We simply open the mines and the vault and take shelter there,"David suggested.

"Are you serious?" Regina rolled her eyes,"Have you all forgotten who we're dealing with? This is magic. It doesn't care about ceilings. By sundown, everyone in this town will start... Tearing each other apart."

Regina and Emma soon find themselves near the icy wall along with Leroy, David and Mary Margaret. David tries to climb on the ice wall but it defends itself."Looks like that wall doesn't care much for your brute force."

It's only seconds later when Elsa discovers something: her sister's necklace. She starts to reach for it but Emma pulls her back. "Elsa? No, stop. Hey. No! That thing could go off again! I'm glad you found it, but sentimentality is not worth risking your life over.

Now come on! If we're gonna win, we need to stop wasting time. Mom, dad, Leroy, go tell everyone what's going on. When this goes down, everyone needs to be separated from their loved ones if they don't want to hurt each other. Kill, go to the waterfront to see if we can use boats to get some people out. Elsa and I are gonna talk to Gold, see if he has any ideas. Henry and Hope, you come with us."

"No." Regina interrupted, "They're going with me. I'm their best chance."

"That might not be true."Elsa intervened,"Emma and I? I think we're immune. These ribbons. If the Snow Queen wants us to be her sisters, then the curse won't affect us."

"No." Regina spoke again,"You're part of this nut job's plan. I want Henry and Hope near me as long as it's safe for them.

"It's okay, mom. I'll be fine with her."Henry said.

"Yeah I think I'm going to go to Mom." Hope agreed.

"Ok; you kids do whatever you want to. Just be careful alright?" The kids nodded. They hugged Emma once more before following Regina.

At Mr Gold's shop, Elsa and Emma are talking with Belle."Any luck?" Elsa asks.

"No." Belle said,"The one thing I did find is there may be a way to undo the effects from anyone it touches. It seems that when somebody's been touched by the spell, that you can use them to undo it. With a strand of their hair, you can make some kind of counter spell, like a vaccine."

"My sister. My aunt said she put me in that urn. I didn't believe her because Anna would never do that, unless she was under that spell. We have to get to her. I may not know where she is but now you can help me find her. You said if I had something of hers, you could use this locator spell. Well, now I have something of hers. Sometimes sentimentality pays off."
