Chapter Three--Pick a Portal
Callie's POV-
"Alright we know who you are. You're the Chesire Cat, now help us get to Neverland!" Emma snapped. She was such a grumpy thing.
"Oh come on Emma darling," I laughed. "I'm not THE Chesire Cat!"
"What?" She asked confused.
"I'm his sister love!" I smirked. "So technically you didn't figure out who I am,"
"So you won't help us?" Regina asked coldly. I glared at her.
"I never said that," I said examining my nails. "In fact I was never planning on not helping you!"
"Then why didn't you just tell us?" David asked.
"Because I was in the middle of some fun!" I grinned mischievously. "Wanted you out of my hair until I was done!"
"Told you she was trouble," Hook grumbled.
"Now!" I said cheerfully walking down the steps towards the little yellow bug. "I can help you get to Neverland of course but it will cost,"
"What do you want?" Emma asked clearly annoyed with me.
"Oh no love I don't need to be payed!" I laughed. "My deals hardly ever work like that. Mine are more favor based," I explained. "No I mean the actual method of getting there is going to cost you,"
"What will it cost?" Mary Margret asked worriedly.
"Depends on which way you chose," I grinned.
"How many choices do we have?" Regina asked.
"Oh there's millions darling! However there's only three I recommend trying," I said.
"What are they?" Emma asked. I grinned my famous mischievous Cheshire grin.
"Come with me and I'll show you"Hooks POV
Callie led us to the docks, down to the edge of the pier. With a wave of her hand three whirlpools appeared in the water behind her each a different color. I was confused as to why she picked those three. I had seen her magic and I knew she could pick better portals than these.
"The first way is the most expspensive but easily the safest," she said gesturing to a blue whirlpool on the left.
"what's the price?" Gold asked.
"Ah ah ah! I tell you as much as I can! I do have some rules you know," she smirked. She was pure evil I tell you.
"What about the others?" Emma asked.
"The purple one is Themistocles dangerous. It closes after 48 hours," she explained gesturing to the right hand one.
"And the middle?" Regina asked pointing to the green.
"That is the cheapest way,"she said simply.
"Why is it cheap?" David asked.
"Because I will pay the price," Callie snapped. I suddenly understood why she and chose these three. She flashed me a brief smirk. She knew I knew and was counting on me to pick the right portal.
"Which would you recommend dearie?" Gold asked.
"Any will do," she replied.
"What do you get out of this?" Emma asked.
"Whichever portal you chose I will earn my reward and I can assure you it will not be at your exspense," she said.
"Give us a moment," gold said. We all walked a little ways away from her just out of earshot.
"I know which one to take," I said.
"You do?" Mary Margret asked surprised. Everyone else looked shocked as well
"Yes because I've taken it before," I sighed.
"Well what is it?" David encouraged.
"Take the green one," I said grimacing.
"Isn't that the one she would expect us to take because she'll help pay?" Emma asked.
"You want her to pay. The purple one reay does close after 48hours that's how I got stuck in Neverland. And the blue requires the exact se number of people and for Clie to be with them," I explained.
"So? Obviously the purple one is out of the question," Regina asked.
"SO you're majesty if we pick the one that Callie has to come back from it means that one of us will have to stay behind in Neverland forever. If we pick the green one Callie will stay in Neverland with her love," I said like she was an idiot. Which she was.
"Are you sure?" Emma asked. I nodded. "Okay, then let's do it," she said.
"Have you made your choice?" Callie asked as we came back.
"Yes, we pick the green portal," Emma said. I saw a flash of soemthing in Callie's eyes. Joy. Pure joy. She looked at me and started me down. She nodded at me. Her way of saying thank you. I knew that she wanted to stay on Neverland. This was the easiest way to go.
"Very well," she said smiling. "Let's go,"
