Twice Upon A Time - Season 2 (reader x once upon a time)

Into the Deep - Part 2

Aurora woke up and looked around. She saw Angie still unconscious next to her. It took her a moment to realize they were in the pit, back at the safe haven. Cora entered soon after with a tray of food

"I thought you might be hungry. I hope you enjoy stew" Cora said, placing the tray in front of Aurora

"I enjoy anything that masks the bitter aftertaste of poison" the princess replied

"Plucky. I like that" Cora said

"You might as well go. I'm not going to tell you anything" Aurora told her, as Angie started to wake up

"Oh, I know" Cora replied "That's alright, you have nothing to tell. You two weren't my target"

"The compass" Aurora realized

"Sad you lost it?" Angie teased Cora

"Oh, you're awake" Cora said, turning to look at Angie "Don't worry, I'll get that compass. Now I have something to trade for it"

"They'll never fall for that" Angie said

"Of course they will" Cora chuckled "You and your family just can't help yourselves. No matter the personal stakes, you'll never let an innocent or a family member die"

"Since you know so much about my family, then you must also know that we always find another way to stop people like you" Angie remarked

Cora full on laughed this time "Of course. And you would also take anyone who helped you back to your land" she said, turning back to Aurora "Isn't that why you're helping them? Were you hoping to find another prince there? You've forgotten Philip already" she asked the princess

"Philip is in my heart every moment of every day" Aurora replied offended "If there was anything I could do to bring him back, I would"

"Is that so? What if I told you that when a wraith consumes a soul, it merely travels to another realm, but that soul can be brought back to this world" Cora told her "Show me a little courtesy and I may explain how"

Aurora's response was to kick the food towards Cora, staining her dress "Oh you stupid, ungrateful girl!" Cora exclaimed

"I'm not as stupid as you think. Nor are my loyalties so easily bought" Aurora replied fiercely "You can bring me a hundred meals and make me a hundred promises, but I will never help you"

Cora used her magic then to throw Aurora against the rock wall, making her fall unconscious

"Plucky" Cora said

"You won't get what you want" Angie told her

"We'll see" Cora replied before also knocking out Angie with magic. She then walked over to a crow that was also in the pit and spoke to it "Tell them"

The crow flew away and didn't stop until it found Snow, Emma and Mulan in the middle of the forest. It landed on Snow's shoulder and both Emma and Mulan got ready to draw their weapons, but Snow stopped them

"Wait" she said as she listened to the crow. A few seconds later, it flew away again

"What the hell was that?" Emma asked confused

"Cora" Snow replied "We have until sundown to bring her the compass" she explained "If we don't, she'll kill Angie and Aurora"

"Give it to me" Mulan said instantly, holding her hand out to Emma

"Hold on Mulan. Just give us a minute to consider" Emma told her

"There's nothing to consider" Mulan replied "A compass is not worth Aurora's and your sister's lives"
