The rest of their journey to Glinda, the good witch of the south, was filled with awkward silence before finally reaching the edge of the dark forest. Amongst them stood a tall door in the middle of a clearing. The three got off of their horses and tied them to a tree before approaching the door.

"You two stay here, I'm gunna go inside. If I don't come back in five minutes come after me." Snow said to David and Regina before grasping the handle and twisting it.

David and Regina watched as it seemed that Snow began to disappear upon stepping through the opening.

It stayed quiet between the two before David spoke up.

"When I- you were in... Before I jumped in the water, I saw something across the river." David started, "It was this green smoke that seemed to dissipate into thin air. Do you have any idea what it was?" He asked.

"No." She answered to quickly. Chills of what had happened ran down her back. It was a strange feeling, drowning. Yet at the same time it was all to familiar to her.

David gave her a suspicious glance as he looked her up and down.

"Regina... You can be honest with me." David assured her.

"It was nothing, David." She said looking at him and he could see the seriousness in her eyes, he knew not to push her.

Five minutes of long uninterrupted silence went by.

"I'm gonna go in." David said walking to the door before looking back at Regina when she began to speak.

"Better you than me, I'm far from pure of heart." She said the last part sarcastically.

David dropped his head and turned back around, opening the door. He took a deep breath and pushed through, taking a step inside. Once he realized he hadn't gone through a portal he let out his breath. He turned around to look and make sure and sure enough he was still here with Regina snickering across the doorway.

"Looks like you're not to pure of heart yourself, Prince Charming." She said mocking his title.

David walked back through the door closing it behind him.

"Come on, it's much more fun anyways." She said with a last little chuckle.

"Ha ha." David said sarcastically back.

Before anyone could speak again Snow came through the door and the two turned to face her. She didn't say a word, she only walked over to where the horses were tied up. David and Regina still awaited an answer of what the Good Witch must of said but Snow didn't speak, she untied her horse and hopped on.

"Snow?" Regina asked but instead of a response Snow gave her horse a little quick and started to leave.

"What the hell." Regina said annoyed before untying and getting on her horse to go after her with David close behind her.

Once Regina and David caught up Regina spoke again.

"Snow what did that witch say to you?" She said a little more thoughtfully.

Snow just turned her head in response.

Regina rolled her eyes, "Fine. Don't tell me." She said aggravated.
