It wasn't long after they arrived on shore when they began trekking through the forest. Everyone was silent as they followed Merida, who walked much faster than anyone expected. When we came to a shack, we hid behind a log as we peered over it to watch the old building.
"There's magic in there that can help us," Merida whispered, "we can use it to find my brothers."
"You sure that the witch isn't home?" Belle asked.
"No. And what does it matter? We're only going to be inside long enough to use her cauldron."
"Stay here," Belle told us, causing me to nod in response.
Once they got to their feet, I looked back to my group to see Katherine staring at Merida's belt. More importantly, the symbol. When Belle and Merida began to walk towards the only shack, I turned my attention to the curious girl next to me.
"Is that symbol the same as-"
"Yeah," she cut me off, "it matches my necklace."
"So you and Merida do have a connection," Sam said.
"Yeah," Katherine whispered.
"You should ask her what it means," I told her.
"What if she doesn't want to tell me? What if she can't tell me?"
"As soon as she sees that your necklace matches the symbol on her belt, she'll tell you everything," Sam answered.
"You think?" she questioned.
"We know," we responded in unison.

As Belle looks out the window to see if anyone is waiting for us outside of the library, the rest of us stand by the door, ready to fight if we have to.
"Alright," she whispers, "coast is clear," she then turns to us, "we should go now."
"No, no, no," Rumpelstiltskin panics, "I'm sorry. I-I can't. I can't go. I'm sorry."
"But your shop's only a hundred yards away."
"No, I-I'm sorry. I-I can't."
"You made it out of the woods and through the mines with...this isn't just about you getting back to your shop, is it?"
