The Evil Queens Daughter

Chapter 7

Memory

A couple of days had passed from my encounter with the queen. I had heard some struggling outside my hole I looked outside to see a fairy stuck. The wind was blowing ferociously and she could barely fly. My hair was flying everywhere but by some miracle I caught her and took her inside. I created a small fireball and heated her up.
" Whats your name? " I asked and she grew to full size.
" Winter, " I chuckled at the irony.
" I'm Summer, " 2 weeks passed and we became good friends. I heard a knock at the door and crawled out to see who it was. Me and Winter crawled out and no one was there.
" Ah perfect, " I heard a familiar voice say. I turned around and there he was Rumplestiltskin. I thought he had came back for me.
" How's Belles leg? " I asked hoping she was ok.
" Mm fine. Well done on surviving the queen dearie. Now to get what I came for, " he lurched forward and had his hand in Winters chest. He was taking her heart! He pulled it out and she collapsed on the floor. Her white dress had somewhat cushioned the fall. I created a fireball in my hand. He wagged his finger and tutted. I couldn't throw it, I might hit her heart.
" Come on I know your not completely evil, just let her go, " I said. He slowly started to her body as if to return it then jumped back.
" No, " he manically laughed, he crushed her heart and white light surrounded him and he just absorbed it. I fell to my knees as he left with words whispering in the wind, " All magic comes with a price. "
He didn't even hesitate, he killed Winter. No second thought, no mercy. His eyes had perhaps even been joy as the madness consumed him.

Reality

I told them and they budged together to protect baby Neal. Me and Gold had a stand off until finally I left the files and as I walked out I stopped beside him.
" Would be a shame if Belle found out about you. Oh and by the way, if you hurt any innocent person I will be sure to take advantage of the fact your magic is weak and mine is fully functioning, " As I was just out the door I heard him call back to me.
" You really are your mother and fathers daughter, it's exactly what they would have done, " with that I left. I saw Ruby and Belle sitting on a bench.
" Whats up, " I asked them as they sat there with a thinking face on.
" We're trying to think of something to do to raise money, " Ruby answered and Belle nodded. I shrugged.
" Why not make a band, " I suggested, " I sing and play guitar if that helps, " I said. Belle and Ruby perked up.
" Ruby plays drums and I can play piano and I can use the computer. And we both sing, " I nodded. We started to put up posters immediately.

We were pretty please with our progress so we headed home. I got home and Mum was in her bed, I tiptoed through the house into my room so as not to wake her. When I finally got into some pyjamas and crawled into bed I realised how tired I was. I fell straight to sleep.

I woke up to hear mum coughing. I got out of bed, wiping my eyes of the sleep in the corners. I opened the door slightly and she looked really bad.
" Heya how you feeling, " I asked handing her some water as she gulped it down.
" Not very well, I'll call in sick, " she went to reach for the phone when I stopped her.
" Me and Snow can do it, " I smiled. I hadn't really gotten to bond with Snow, and it might a little awkward after last night.
" Thank you, " she said and continued to cough. I brought up some breakfast and lots of water and apple juice. I got on tights, shorts, t-shirt and an unbuttoned red and black checked shirt. I called Mary Margret.
" Hello, my Mums feeling really ill, I was hoping you could come help me in the Mayors office. "
" Yeah sure thing, weird Emma's feeling pretty bad too, " Well come to mention it, she wasn't looking so good last night.
I arrived outside and Mary Margret opened up the place. We walked in and the office was really cool. Mary Margret got to work on calls and I started cleaning and sorting stuff.
" You think Emma and Mum are gonna be ok? " I was really hoping for a reassuring answer and I knew Mary Margret would put it the best way possible. To give me hope.
" Yeah I'm sure it's just a bug, I mean Gold has it to, " she said.
Something then hit me. Gold is man who will do whatever it takes to be strong, mentally and physically.
" Wouldn't he be able to cure himself? If he could I mean, what if it's something even he can't cure? "
Snow sat down on Mums chair and span slightly. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket so I took it out. It was from Henry.
' Somethings wrong, all the nuns/fairies have whatever everyone else with magic has, how are you feeling? '
I text him back quickly.
' I feel fine, I have an idea, someone has cast a curse to weaken specific people's magic but it must be someone who doesn't know me. '
He text me back.
' I'm going to Gold and Belle you try mums vault. '
I switched off my phone and told Snow what we thought.
" Makes sense, try not to use magic, in case that person finds out, your our last source of it, who else knows about it? "
" Mum, Dad, Rumple, Emma, Henry, Belle and you, " I said and she nodded. I started walking to the forest and found Mums vault. I text everyone to say I was going on a magic lockdown. I sighed, apparently she kept hearts here, the thought of it sent a shiver down my spine. I entered the little building and moved the tomb which led down to the vault.
