The Evil Queens Daughter

Chapter 8

It was a stone room with a mirror and boxes and chests. I searched in one of the chests first to see if anything useful was there. I took some things which contained stored magic. Mum and Emma could use those. Gold probably had more than you shake a stick at...or a cane if your Gold. There was also a couple of books Belle, Henry and I could go through. After that I left to see Blue standing outside the vault. I sealed it shut manually and locked it.
" Hey Blue, how are the other fairies? "
" They're terribly weak, how's your mother? " I then noticed something that was extremely off about Blue.
" Yeah she pretty sick. You seem pretty healthy though, we concluded that all those with magic are sick, " I said folding my arms.
" I guess I was too powerful, " she shrugged.
" Yeah...I better get going, " I said and walked away, deep in thought. She had always been there. Right from the beginning. Could she have done this to everyone? Nah, she helped Snow. She's on our side. Perhaps seeing as she was the supreme fairy she must be immune.

I saw Henry and Belle in the library and came to sit next to them. That's when Gold came in and must have thought that I was about to tell Belle his murderous little secret. He stepped into the library to ' check in on us '.
" I found some books in Mum's vault, " I said, " I'm gonna read them in the back, just in case whoever did this looks in and finds them. "
Belle and Henry agreed and I stood up and left the three of them to talk amongst themselves. I started on the first one which was about controlling magic and harnessing it. I'll try some of the stuff in here later. I put all the books back in my bag and went back out to Belle and Henry, Mr Gold had gone away somewhere. I gave Henry some of the magical objects and a knife.
" Give the magic stuff to Emma but keep this dagger, stay safe, " I said and gave a quick hug before saying bye to Belle as well. Gold had already armed her. There was a small knife in her bag that I had noticed on the way in. I started to go home. Mum was still vulnerable. I entered the house and heard her coughing, I swear if that fairy did this I'll pick off her wings. I brought up another jug of water. I opened the door and she looked worse than this morning. I poured her a glass of water and she drank it. I quickly ran through to my room getting my sword and strapping it to my back. I called Dad and he said he was on his way.
" Hey, I've decided to go on a magic lockdown, no mentioning it to even the people who know about it, " I told her as I sat on the side of her bed. She nodded, she looked really tired. I heard the door open and looked out. It was Dad. I let Mum get her rest and went to go talk to him. There was something different about him, I just couldn't put my finger on it.
" How's she doing? " he asked looking around.
" Sleeping. Have you seen Henry? " I asked pouring two cups of coffee.
" Aye the lass is fine, " he said walking around, observing.
" What? "
" I said the lass is fine, " he said in a louder voice. Ok this is definitely not him, he knew Henry was a lad not a lass, he was a boy not a girl. I handed him the cup of coffee and he took it and sat down. That's when I realised what was wrong, his hand was the left side. He took a sip of coffee and sat down. I did one more test. I called him and then looked up.
" Have you got your phone? Is it on silent? "
He shook his head and showed me the screen. My contact wasn't coming up. I showed him mine and that's when his face dropped. We both drew our swords.
" Your smart for a kid, " he said as our swords collided.
" Your first mistake was your language, brush up on your pirate before you pose as the best pirate, " I said swinging my sword, " Then make sure you remember he's right handed not hooked. "
Our little sword fight went on for a while and I could hear Mum getting up. So I put myself between the stairs and the imposter. I kicked them in the chest and they fell over the sofa. I held my blade to the throat and crouched down.
" You're strong, but I'm stronger, " I was smirking in victory until they swung their hook. I felt it embed itself in my back and come out the front. They pulled out as I yelled in pain. It was bleeding heavily and the person disappeared. Mum came rushing down as fast as possible for her state. That's when the real Dad came through the door smiling with a bunch of flowers, a teddy with a patch and a get better soon card. I had fell to my back by this time and was pulling off the top t shirt I had leaving my short sleeved top which I had been wearing under he unbuttoned one on. I was pressing it against my front wound. I was gasping for air and Dad had picked me up and was sprinting to hospital. I knew Mum couldn't run so I just kept pressing my shirt against the searing pain. In hopes to stop the intense bleeding.
" Your gonna be ok, we're gonna get you to the hospital and you'll be fine, " he said to reassure me but it was probably helping him calm down more than me. We had burst through the doors and everyone rushed around as I got placed on a bed. I held onto his hook refusing to let go. I felt if I did I would slip away into darkness, he was my lifeline. I hadn't noticed before now but I was coughing up blood. They got me into a room and gave me an oxygen mask.
" Just close your eyes and let yourself fall asleep, " Whale said and that was the last thing I heard.
