Finding You Always

Chapter 35: Set Fire to the Rain

Snow twirled her ring nervously, as the storm raged outside. A feeling of dread had knotted in her stomach, only moments ago, and she instinctively knew why. Something was wrong. David was in trouble...she could feel it in her bones. He wasn't answering his cell and though she knew it was probably because the storm had made cell reception almost non-existant, she knew it was more than that.

The front door opened and Ruby hurried inside, quickly shedding her wet raincoat. Snow hung her wet coat up.

"Thanks for coming. I know asking you to get out in this is a lot," Snow fretted.

"Snow...you're the closest thing I have to a sister. I just wish you'd call Thomas and let him look for David in this," Ruby said.

"You know what he'll say. It's too dangerous to look for him until the storm subsides, but I can't wait that long. Something isn't right, I can feel it and no one can find Charming like I can," Snow replied fiercely. Ruby nodded.

"I know...just be careful. I'll call Thomas and tell him. He's going to be pissed," Ruby warned.

"He can yell at me after I find my husband. Thanks for staying with the twins," she said, hugging her best friend.

"Mommy..." a little voice called. Snow saw the worried faces of her twins gazing up at her.

"Is Daddy in trouble?" Eva asked. Snow knelt down and hugged them both.

"I'm sure Daddy's fine. He's probably just caught out in the storm," Snow assured them.

"But you're gonna find him?" Leo asked. Snow smiled at how he looked so much like her husband, right down to the furrowing of his brows.

"I will always find him," she promised, as she put on her rain gear and grabbed the satchel of supplies she had packed in case she got stranded.

"Be good for Ruby and I'll be back before you know it," she promised, as she hurried out to her car amidst the raging storm.

"Are you sure this is where you want me to drop you off?" Emma asked, as they arrived back at the beach.

"Yep, I'll be fine. Give me your phone for a second," Neal said. She handed him the device and he pressed some buttons, before handing it back.

"There. You have my number now," he said, before leaning in and pressing his lips to hers. Emma's eyes widened in surprise, but she soon found herself kissing him back. He grinned, as their lips parted.

"See ya Emma," he said, as he got out. A few seconds later, Melanie got in.

"Who was that?" Melanie grilled with a coy smile. Emma rolled her eyes.

"That was Neal, the guy that tried to steal my car. I almost pepper sprayed him and then we got coffee," Emma said. Melanie laughed.

"All that after you kneed that other asshole in the balls," Melanie joked and shook her head.

"What?" Emma asked.

"You're definitely not boring," Melanie teased, as Emma drove them back to campus.

Drizella sent her hired hands away once they dragged the prince inside and now she waited impatiently, as Lucifer built a fire since the power was out, due to the storm. She couldn't have planned a better night for this. The storm raged outside and would complicate any search attempt for him.

"That sleeping dart won't last long," Lucifer warned.

"Then you better have what I asked for and it better not get traced back to us," she snapped.
