RED ||James Hook X Princess Bridget||

🪝 I'll be back soon 🩷

Red soon disappeared from Chloe's sight. She just stood there for some time before she looked at the pocket watch in her hand. She started the pocket watch and within seconds she disappeared from there.

Meanwhile Red was busy fighting his emotions of anger and sadness. The first person who he regarded as a friend left him when he needed her support and help.

"Mom was right." Red spoke to himself. "Friends are only a trouble." He stopped at the entrance of the hall.
"Now where the heck am I?"

He realised that the hall wasn't having the same paint as the one which was a few years back. He thought of looking for someone to ask for when and where he was.

He saw the fairy godmother coming, in this timeline she looked like a young adult or a teenager in her last year as a teenager. He went to ask her for help.

"Um, excuse me?" He said.

"Yes?" She answered.

"Can you tell me where I am? I'm actually lost."

"You're standing in Merlin Academy." She answered.

"Oh, by the way, do you know where I can find Princess Bridget?"

"Bridget? You won't find her here. She's already graduated and married."

"So she's in Wonderland?"

"You guessed it right. She's married to James Hook. It's been five months now."

Fairy godmother left from there and that's when Red realised that it was at this time that James had left and never returned.

"I have to stop dad." Red said to himself. "Whatever it takes."

Red began to run out of Merlin Academy and tried to find his way to Wonderland. He tried to remember the route his mother had taken to take him to Auradon prep.

However since there was almost a seventeen year gap between those time lines. He got lost for about half an hour in the forest.

"Oh come on!" Red yelled in frustration.

He walked a bit more and was happy when he found the gate to Wonderland. The gate had no wooden planks to block people from entering and leaving like how it did in the future.

"Here I go." Red said happily. "Time for a ride of a lifetime!"

He jumped inside and then the magic portal turned and twisted him in the air before plopping him in the jungle surrounding the palace.

"Ow my back!"

Red dusted his clothes and ruffled his hair. He then began his journey to his palace which was painted pink and white.

"Oh my." Red exclaimed. Never had he seen the castle in any colour other than red.

He sneaked inside the castle through the secret doors and trap doors. The maids and normal people didn't suspect him of being an outside as many people used to come to Wonderland.

"Can I help you?" A lady asked him.

"Uh, I'm actually lost." He replied. "I'm actually here for-"

"Queen Bridget's cupcakes?" She answered. "Everyone comes here for them."

"She makes them herself?"

"She does sometimes but she's shared the recipe with the finest bakers and they carry it forward." She paused. "But you won't find it here. You have to go to the palace if you want them."

"Alright. Thank you."

Red had never seen his kingdom so lively and bright before. The people were enjoying their time talking with eachother on the streets while little children ran across the roads.
