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

Season 3: Episode 2: Lost Girl

-Enchanted Forest-

"The Evil Queen murdered my father, put me under a sleeping curse. But I am not the only one she has made to suffer." Snow White stood on top of some hay as people from the village stood around her, Prince Charming, Azalea, and the Dwarfs stood behind her as she made her speech to the villagers. The group was trying to form an army to take with them to reclaim the kingdom that the Evil Queen had taken from Snow. "She had terrorized us for far to long!" The crowd murmured their agreements. "This kingdom doesn't belong to her it belongs to us!" The crowd shouted as she motivated them. Azalea stood back as she watched Snow. She had always seen her as a strong person and knew that she was royalty. But she hadn't experienced it till this moment. And the pre-teen could only feel admiration to Snow. "So who is ready to stand behind me and fight for what is rightfully ours!" The crowd suddenly died down and stayed silent. Fear in their eyes. Azalea felt her heart sink as Charming looked disappointed. "Quite the courageous army your building." Regina said with sarcasm as the villagers scattered away from her as she appeared out of thin air. "They may be afraid of you, but we are not." Snow said as Azalea stood her ground beside Charming. "Why? Because of you and the Shepard broke my sleeping curse." She said glaring at Charming as he put a hand on his sword. Regina rolled her eyes and used magic to take some rope on the ground and tie up Charming with it. Azalea dug into her potion bag and pulled out some gardening scissors. She knew that it was basically useless, but she had to try and free Charming somehow. "Lucky for you I didn't come here to fight." Regina said as Snow took out her own sword. "I came to offer you a deal." Azalea worked on cutting the thick ropes with her small scissors as Charming turned to Snow. "Don't listen to a single word she says Sno-" Regina flicked her hand and some more rope tightened itself around Charming's mouth. "Your really going to marry that?" Regina asked with a smirk turning back to Snow. "What do you want?" Snow asked, sounding angry. "I want you to give your claim of the throne to me. If you declare me the rightful ruler of this land I will let you, the Dwarfs, the flower girl, and your so called Prince Charming escape back to the sheep farm he once called home." Regina offered. "Exile?" Snow asked. "Well I have tried to kill you and curse you and none of that has worked." She said folding her arms. "I almost have it cut enough for you to break Charming." Azalea whispered as she cut at the rope. "And if I don't give you my kingdom?" Snow asked. "Well then someone will pay the price." Regina said, reaching her hand out. One of the village girls started to gag as she was lifted in the air by her neck with Regina's magic. "STOP!" Snow shouted running at Regina with her sword pulled. Regina went away in a cloud of purple and the girl fell to the ground. Charming ripped through the weaken rope as Azalea ran over to the girl to check over her. "Is she okay?" Snow asked. "Yes, she will be." Azalea said helping the girl sit up. "Next time she wont be." Regina said appearing again behind Snow. "You have until sundown tomorrow to give me the throne. And for every day that you defy me. I will kill one of your loyal subjects." Snow watched as she went away in smoke again. Before looking at all of her loyal subjects. the fear in their eyes.

-Neverland-

Azalea paced back and forth in the small tree house. Shortly after Peter had arrived he left again. Leaving her new clothing to change into and some berries to eat. She hadn't taken either of his gifts as she tried to figure out what Pan was planning. And Henry also kept coming back to her mind. She had to find a way to get to him before Peter did and get them both out. She had all the faith in the world in Snow, Charming, Emma. She didn't know who all was even coming for her and what would happen to them once they got here. If they weren't already here. The door suddenly slammed open and Azalea jumped as Felix walked in. "I see you haven't changed, or eaten. Hurry up and get out of those ripped clothing. I'm supposed to tend to your arm then take you to Peter." Azalea looked down at her arm that was red from the stitches opening up and her tattered clothing from Storybrooke. "I will change, but I will find something to eat on my own on our way to Peter." Azalea said as she picked up the clothes Peter had left for her. "If you insist." Felix said before exiting the room. Azalea quickly changed, being careful of her arm before opening the door. Felix stood in front of her and put her hands together tightening them up with rope in front of her. "Come, we will fix your arm then go to Peter." Felix said pulling the teen behind him as they walked into the forest together.
