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

Season 2: Episode 20: The Evil Queen

-Neverland-

Azalea heard someone coming up behind her. The ten year old looked up from the flowers she was working on in the forest to see Felix, Peters best friend, walking up to her. "Hello, how is the garden doing?" He asked looking at the bright silver flowers. "They are growing wonderfully, they will be ready to be picked and used in less than a week." She said standing up and dusting herself off. "What about you and the new lost boys? I heard that hunting training has been a bit rough." She said smiling as Felix frowned with annoyance. "It's true, I swear Peter keeps on picking kids with the worst aim. But the sooner I can train them to hunt the sooner I will have to do less of it." He said taking the girls hand and pulling her down the forest path. "Wait, I'm not done yet." She said turning to look at the garden. The first day she had come to Neverland Peter had handed her the flower seeds and asked to to begin planting immediately. Since that day Azalea had been introduced to so many flowers and plants that she had never seen before in her life. Some weren't even in her mothers flower book! "I know your not done yet, but lunch is almost ready and Windy wants to do girly things with you afterwards and Peter wants to know the progress of the garden...so I'm kidnapping you." Felix said with a smirk looking back at the girl. "I though that was Peters job." Azalea said teasingly. "Peter never takes any kid without them wanting to come. He isn't a kidnapper, he is a savior." Felix said as the two made it back to the Lost Boy camp. "Felix! Azalea! There you are." Peter said walking over to the two. "How is the garden going?" Peter asked Azalea, patting down the flower crown she wore. "It will be ready for you to use in less than a weeks time." Azalea reported with pride as Peter smiled. "Fantastic!" He said walking over to the food that the lost boys were devouring. "When will you tell me what you will be using the flowers for?" Azalea asked Peter. "I will show you rather then tell you." He said "In due time." Azalea was about to push on, her curiosity killing her. But then she heard Windy call her name and she decided that she could ask again later. She said goodbye to the boys and ran over to her only girl friend on the island. "Are you really going to share with her what your plans are with the flowers?" Felix asked Peter in a whisper. "Of course I won't, her pure hearted nature would only see the bad the flowers will bring. She wont be able to see the bigger picture of it all." Peter said with a frown. They both watched as the two girls smiled, eating beside each other. "What will you tell her then?" Felix asked. "Don't worry so much, I will come up with something. Now lets go enjoy lunch." Peter said pulling his friend over to the table of food.

-Azalea Pov (outfit^^^) -

"Tamara is the 'she' that August was trying to warn us about!" Emma said as she and Mary walked into Mary's apartment. Azalea looked up from her homework (something that could no longer be avoided according to David) "Emma shhhh, Henry is upstairs." Mary said looking up the steps. Emma nodded. "Look, I know that this has been hard for you." Mary said looking at Emma. "No, this is about August, not me." Emma said looking surprised. "August said that there was a woman who dangerous here, a list of all of our names fell out of Tamara's purse earlier today. It's a list of who the fairy tale version of the people are and - " Emma looked over at Azalea who quirked an eyebrow at her. Emma sighed. "And Azalea's name was highlighted." Emma admitted to the teen and Mary. "There could be a million explanations as to why she has that list." Mary said. "We don't know anything about her, and she lied to me!" Emma said. "Emma you know your 'superpower' has been known to fail you before." Mary said looking a bit unnerved. "Look this isn't about my feelings for Neal or anything. This is about August and what he was trying to warn up about!" Emma said as Mary shook her head and walked into the kitchen. Emma sighed and turned to Azalea. "Please tell me that you're worried about your name being highlighted? That's creepy right?!" Emma asked the teen. Azalea shrugged. "I guess it is a bit odd, but maybe she has never heard of the fairy tale story that I come from in this land. It isn't the most popular story...I don't have a child's movie made after me like Mary or Ruby." She said standing up and gathering her now completed homework. "I'm going back to the magic bean crop to work a bit...I'm not saying that I don't believe you. But Henry doesn't need any false hopes of Tamara being some evil lady. If he hears he may think that you and Neal have a chance of getting back together." She advised. Emma sighed in frustration again as Azalea also left to go do more work with the magic beans. "Be careful!" Emma called as Azalea shut the door. The teen walked down the apartment steps and made her way down the street. She stopped when she saw Tamara and Neal walking down the street hand in hand. First the note from Peter, and now the new lady shows up, what if...no, it was to crazy to think that the two somehow were working together.
