NINETY

THE ENCHANTED FOREST

Juliet, Mary Margaret, David, and Regina set on their way. They had found Gold, and he told them about a witch named Glinda. Juliet vaguely remembered her, as her mother had mentioned the Good Witch.

They were almost at the Dark Forest. David picked a flower and handed it to Mary Margaret. She gasped.

"For luck." Mary Margaret smiled, taking the flower. Regina rolled her eyes. 

"What?" Mary Margaret asked. Regina sighed. 

"We're at the edge of the dark forest, trying to find the one person who can stop our imminent doom and save your unborn child. And you two stop to smell the roses?" Mary Margaret shrugged, pointing to the flower.

"Snowbells." Juliet chuckled at Regina's deadpanned expression.

"I don't care if they're dancing daffodils. I need to destroy my sister." Juliet's face fell at hearing that and she went back to looking around. "And so do you. If that babbling mad man sent us on a wild-goose chase, I swear..." She started to ramble, but then she saw something. Juliet turned around to see what Regina was looking at. 

A door. In the middle of the forest. 

"What's that supposed to be?" Regina asked. Juliet jogged over to catch up with them. 

"Well, it appears to be a door." David remarked. 

"Wow. Good one captain obvious." Juliet muttered. It seemed that the only one who heard her was Regina, who softly snickered. David looked on the other side of the door to find nothing. 

"That leads to nowhere." He continued. Mary Margaret sighed, smiling.

"Through the door, step inside, if pure of heart then she won't hide." Everyone looked at her. "It's Rumple's riddle. It's Glinda." She immediately walked toward the door. She opened the door... to find the same forest they were in on the other side. Juliet folded her arms. Mary Margaret walked through it and she disappeared.

"Snow!" David yelled. Juliet dropped her arms. David soon went after her. The redhead sighed.

"Might as well." She strolled through the door. To her surprise, she was able to get through it. On the other side of the door was a snow-covered land. She brought her arms close to her chest to stop her shivering. 

"Thought she was supposed to be the Good Witch of the South." Mary Margaret commented. 

"I was." The three turned around to see a blonde woman wearing all white. Juliet assumed this was Glinda. "Before I was banished here." David sighed.

"Where is Regina?" He asked. 

"I'm afraid your traveling companion has a heart heavy with vengeance. Only a good witch may pass through my door." Juliet raised an eyebrow. If that were true, why was she allowed through. Sure, she never killed anybody, but the Wicked Witch's daughter couldn't possibly be a good witch. 

"I'm not a witch." Mary Margaret argued. "My name is..." 

"I know who you are." Glinda interrupted her. "I've heard many tales of your bravery. And now you hold not one pure heart but two. I sense powerful magic there." Mary Margaret nodded.

"That's why we're here." 

"We were told your light magic could help defeat the Wicked Witch." David finished her thought. "We've come to ask for your help." Glinda shook her head.

"I'm sorry. My magic is not powerful enough to defeat Zelena. It never has been." She looked directly at Juliet. 

"You know her?" David asked.
