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

Season 2: Episode 13: Tiny

-Mary's Apartment-

"I think she is finally asleep." Mary sighed standing up from the teens resting place on the couch. After Mr.Gold left after telling Emma that she was to help him to find his son Azelea had some sort of panic attack. David had called Dr.Hopper to see if he knew what to do while Mary and Emma tried to calm the teen. Henry stood back watching everything with pity and fear in his eyes. Mr.Gold had basically told her that he murdered her whole family for no reason. It had to hurt her. "I can't believe that I have to go with him." Emma sighed as she dragged a few bags down the steps of the apartment. "You don't." David said standing up from the couch. "You don't owe him anything, if we are talking dept he owes Azelea a hell of a lot more than you owe him." David said, anger burning in his eyes. "Look, I know that this is all upsetting. If I can do this and get Mr.Gold off my back for good then it will be better for everyone." Emma said as Henry ran down the steps to stand beside her. A few knocks came from the door and Emma sighed, before walking over and opening it to see Mr.Gold wearing a scarf and holding a few bags. "Ready to go Ms.Swan?" He asked. "Almost." Emma said. "Do you think it will be warm or cold where were going?" Henry asked. "I think layers are always a good idea." Emma said. "I though the terms of our agreement were quite clear. You owe me a favor...you alone." Mr.Gold said looking at Henry who also had some bags packed. "I'm not leaving Henry here with Cora around here, so either we both go or we both stay....and you have pressed more than enough buttons today so I suggest you take a few seconds to think before you answer." Emma said folding her arms. Mr.Gold stole a glance of the teen sleeping on the couch, she face still had red eyes and tear streaks on it. "Do you have the blood sample that I need from her?" He asked. Emma wordlessly held up the small vial that had a small sample of Azalea's blood in it, enough for Mr.Golds magical globe to find Neal. Mr.Gold finally said looking down at Henry. "If you are coming with us we will need to buy another plane ticket." Mr.Gold said as he took the blood sample. "Wait were flying?" Emma asked. "Don't worry I'm covering the costs." Mr.Gold said. "Your a real gentlemen aren't you?" David said with sarcasm. Emma and Henry turned to say goodbye to Mary as David walked up to Mr.Gold. "If you are going to try and talk me out of this you might as well not even talk to me." He said looking at the prince. "Look...After what you have done to Azalea not just today...but her whole life, the last thing I want to do is let my other daughter and grandson go with you. But it is their choice. So I'm putting in a request that you watch over them." David whispered. "I promise that no harm will come to your family...after all, we have a deal." Mr.Gold said as Emma and Henry walked over and said their goodbye's to David. "Call me if something happens with her." Emma said looking at Azalea. "I will, hurry back." Mary said before the three walked out the door.

"Mama! Look my first flower crown!" Azalea cheered as she ran through her mothers flower garden in their back yard, careful to not step on any of the flowers. "Oh it is wonderful! Who is it for?" her mother asked as the young girl jumped into her waiting arms. "It's for Dad when he and Alex come back from their hunting's." She said proudly. "He will love it more than anything in the world my child." Her mom said looking over the crown herself, noticing how well it was made. "Even more than you?" Azalea asked with a teasing smile. "It will be a close race." Her mother said kissing her child's cheek. "How come only Alex ever gets to go hunting with dad?" Azalea asked as her mom put her back down on the ground. "Because you are not a hunter by heart. You were born with a very special ability." her mom said. "I though everyone was special mama." Azalea said confused. "And they are, but everyone has one or two things that make them special from everyone else. And yours is your heart." her mom said pointing to her child's chest. "Why is my heart special?" Azalea asked. "Because you were born of true love, and you were born of a flower enchantress. So that makes you the only product of true love born with enchantress abilities." Her mom explained. "What about Alex? Is he not like me?" Azalea asked. "He is a product of true love yes, but he cannot be a flower enchantress...only women can hold the magical powers of nature. That's why it's called mother nature." Azalea smiled and hugged her mom. "When I grow up I want to be just like you mom!" She said. "As long as you stay true to the goodness of your pure heart you will never lose the power inside of you. Never forget that my child, and one day you will be as strong, and probably even stronger than I."
