Altogether Now and Forever [OUAT || Swan Princess Trio #7]

42 - Homecoming

Henry and Regina searched Wish Rumpelstiltskin's castle for Snow White and Lucy, "Maybe, this is the wrong place. If Wish Rumpel really had Snow and Lucy here, why isn't it guarded?" Henry said.

They soon found a cage with fresh meat inside it, "I think you may have spoken too soon... Never look the Dark One for an animal lover," Regina said.

Wish Cruella stepped towards them, "Let's not confuse who tugs the leash around here. Hello, darling," Wish Cruella said.

"Cruella De Vil. Well, I thought you were above being Rumpel's lapdog," Regina said.

"I'm not anyone's anything. I was just promised a couple of new furs for a fun evening of killing whoever came knocking at the door," Wish Cruella looked at Henry and smirked, "Oh, then again," She walked towards him, "Perhaps we can strike a bargain for you to be my chew toy. Fancy a little scratch behind the ear, darling?" Wish Cruella said with a smirk.

"Twisted's not really my type," Henry said.

Wish Cruella grunted, "Your loss," Wish Cruella said as she drew a sword.

Regina was about to step in but Henry stopped her, "I got this," Henry said and grabbed one of Wish Rumpelstiltskin's swords from his collection then began to fight.

Henry soon defeated her and knocked her sword away then Wish Cruella gasped, "I mean, surely, such a noble group wouldn't murder an unarmed woman, hmm?" Wish Cruella said.

"No, of course not, but, we would certainly tighten your lease," Regina used her magic to make Wish Cruella appear in the cage, she turned to her, "Now, be a good girl and tell us where Rumpel put Henry's wife and daughter," Regina said.

"Your little mutts are in the dungeon. But knowing where they are and freeing them is a completely different animal," Wish Cruella said.

"Ignore her, let's go," Regina said.

The two of them made their way to the dungeon, they heard muffled voices shouting, "I hear their voices," Henry said and they go into a room where the muffled voices came from and they found Snow White and Lucy shrunken down in a snow globe.

"Daddy!" Lucy shouted.

"Snow! Lucy!" Henry shouted.

"Henry!" Snow White said.

"Daddy! Daddy! Help us, please!" Lucy shouted.

Wish Rumpelstiltskin stepped out, "Yes, well, you wanted a happy ending. Now, you can stick yours on a shelf," Wish Rumpelstiltskin said.

"You magicked them in, I can magic them out," Regina said.

"Wrong, dearie. This bauble and tank are unbreakable. No one can set them free but, me and given that I don't want to, inside, they shall stay," Wish Rumpelstiltskin said.

"They don't deserve this," Henry said.

"You've only got yourself to blame. I told you you'd get your family back when you brought me the dagger but you tried to cheat the terms of our deal," Wish Rumpelstiltskin said.
