The Dark Princess [ A Once Upon A Time Fan-fic]

Chapter 12: Heroes and Villains

The Author has won.

He re-wrote everything. Everyone and everything went into the book, even Raven... And Henry? He's not a hero, neither is he evil. Where is he? Raven looked and asked for him everywhere. However, she ended up getting what she wanted: She was a normal girl; No more princess, no more killing powers, no more. She woke up at her simple little cabain where her dog Spark greeted her with licks on the face.

-Hey boy. Julia isn't here, right?.- She asked kind of expecting the dog would start speaking and said "Yes" but all she got was a disappointed cry from Spark and a little face rub on her cheek like he was saying "I'm sorry".

-It's ok. She was just an illusion from the beginning anyways.

Raven got out of bed and realized everything was so humble. The house had barely any furniture: An old couch, some rusty chairs and a table that was barely standing, the kitchen was more than simple with a 16th century stove and a very small counter. She had some berries for breakfast and left the house along with Spark to walk him a little bit. While she was walking with Spark by her side, she thought about how ironic it was that she didn't go back in age like she always did; She was still 15 and that comforted her.

Although everything was turned upside down: Snow was like an evil queen, Charming was her slave, Gold was a saint, Hook was a coward and Emma was locked in a tower. Not to mention Robin marrying Zelena willingly and Regina being a fugitive. She asked everyone what was happening, she had to guess why the Author would leave her memories intact and why she got exactly what she wanted if she was trying to stop him... She heard an Ogre and a guy screaming, when she recognized the voice of the one who screamed she ran in his saving with Spark following right behind.
She saw Henry tied up on a wheel begging for help and Raven had the urge to run to him but Spark stopped her; it wasn't safe for her, she had no powers and she would die to the Ogre along with Henry. Raven couldn't do anything but turn away, hug Spark and cry but then, a Knight with golden armour appeared out of nowhere and killed the Ogre. It was Rumple.
Raven turned around and ran towards Henry who smiled the instant he saw her.

-HENRY!.- She threw herself to him and they almost fell.-You're ok, thank God!

-Yeah, I'm fine. You saw the whole thing?

-I was nearby and I saw Gold appear out of nowhere to save you...I wanted to help but...- Raven looked at her hands and smiled.- I don't have powers here Henry!

-Really?.- He said almost disappointed.

-What? I thought you'd be happy. I can't hurt people anymore! I'm finally normal!

-And that's a good thing?

-What do you mean?.- Raven wanted to cry. Henry was the only one who understood her and now... He was against her.

-Haven't you noticed Raven?! You are not normal! Powers or no powers you will never be normal for me. Because if you become normal, then I loose what I love most about you...

-And that is...?

-That you don't care what people say or think about you, you do all the crazy stuff in the world and stand out for being you... If you stop doing that... I've lost not only the part I love most about you. I loose you completely.

They kissed. They kissed very slow and very passionately.

-Ahem.- Said Gold.- Well, I believe you don't need me anymore boy. You're welcome by the way, for you know, saving your life.
They separated instantly and blushed almost to a rose petal red.

-Y-Yeah.- Henry said nervously.- Thank you, sir.- He smiled at his grandfather and Raven smiled along still blushing deeply.

-Yeah, thanks for saving my...- She wanted to say boyfriend but the truth is that she didn't know what they were.

-Boyfriend.- Henry said as he smiled and grabbed Raven's hand and Gold smirked.

-You are both very welcome. I guess I'll see both of you around.- He turned his horse around and departured.

-Was that your way of asking me if I wanted to be your girlfriend?!

-Is it a bad way to do it like that?.- Henry said with a very embarrassed face.- I mean I was about to die there, I don't want to waste any more time.

-Me neither. That doesn't mean you can indirectly ask me if I want to be your girlfriend.

-There she is.

-What?!.- Raven asked confused.

-I was waiting for the old Raven to come out and say "yes" to being my girlfriend.- He said arrogantly as he placed a hand on Raven's waist and pulled her closer to him.- So, what do you say, Raven White? Will you be my girlfriend officially?
Raven rolled her eyes and smiled.

-Yes, I will be your girlfriend officially. Henry Mills.

-Good, I was scared you would say no.- They both laughed.

-Come on, even in a twisted world where the Heroes are Villans and the Villans are Heroes, I could never say no to you.

-You are my favorite thing, Hummingbird.

-And you are mine, Knight.
