The Girl With a Rose on Her Forehead -Once Upon a Time Fanfiction-

Season 2: Episode 4: The Crocodile

(Azalea Outfit^^^)

-Storybrooke, Mines-

"Keep swinging dwarfs...and David." Leroy said walking down the line of axe swingers. Azalea and Ruby walked through the tunnels underground as the men worked trying to find fairy dust. David gave a friendly wave to the two ladies before swinging his axe against a rock. Azalea pulled her flower crown down on her head more as she and Ruby stood by Henry holding the baskets of food, the young boy was sat on top of a large rock, watching the men work with excitement in his eyes. Swinging their axe's in hope of striking fairy dust. "Have they found any fairy dust yet?" Ruby asked Henry. "No, not yet. But they will. When they do we will figure out  way to get Mary and my mom back." Henry said with a smile. Henry took the basket of food from Ruby and Azalea frowned, watching the men swing their axes. The men were working so hard down in the mines. She couldn't help but think that she wasn't doing enough. She had only found a handful of people with her location spell. There were still people missing and she felt helpless. "I'll be back later with lunch." Ruby said as Henry pulled out a muffin. "Come on Azalea, let's get you back to your shop." She said taking the girls shoulder. "I'm sure you will find a way to help if we can't find any dust." She said with reassurance. The teen nodded, giving Ruby a hopeful smile. And as the two left the men to their hard work Azalea hoped with all her heart that she could find a way to help. A way to get Mary and Emma back.

-A few hours later, Granny's Diner-

"Ruby I really should be at my shop." Azalea said as Ruby pulled her into Granny's Diner. "No, you are going to work yourself to death. Everyone is working really hard, but we don't want to ask to much of someone to the point where they can't stay awake in your shop because they have spent the past three nights finding lost people." Ruby said as Azalea blushed. "I'm trying to help." the teen said looking down. Ruby sighed and put her hands in the girls shoulders. "I know, we all know. But Mary wouldn't want you to work yourself to hard...so just take a break for the evening. I just took the men their lunch in the mines, and you can come with me when I take their dinner in four hours. Until then you can hang out here, I'll make you a cup of coffee." Ruby said walking behind the counter. Azalea walked over to the bar table and pulled out her mothers book, Ruby sat the coffee down beside her and Azalea thanked her before looking down at the worn out pages, she had read this book so many times she probably didn't even need the book. But it was more of a way for Azalea to remember the good times she had with her family before Rumple...before he killed them all.

"Mother! Alex took my crown!" Azalea and Alex's mother rolled her eyes as she and her husband stood on the back porch of their small home in the middle of the woods. The twins came running up the steps Alex with his tongue out and a flower crown on his head, Azalea behind him with a pout on her face. "Now Alex, you know better. And close your mouth or you will catch bugs." Their father said walking over to the five year old twins. "Azalea, why don't you teach your brother how to make his own flower crowns? Then he wont need to take any of yours." Their mother said with a smile. "Can you teach me?! I really want to know!" Alex said turning to his sister. "Okay, but you have to listen and not be annoying." Azalea said taking her own crown of of her brothers head and putting it on her own. The two ran off the porch and their mother smiled. "I swear that little girl will be making flower crowns for her brother the rest of their lives." She said. "I hope so, she should be proud of who she is. A flower enchantress with a pure heart...Alex too, the brother who will always be by her side to protect her." Her husband said wrapping his arms around his wives waist. "Thanks to our love for another."
