Finding You Always

Chapter 62: Soul Divide

Rodmilla Tremaine answered her door and moved aside.

"Please, come in Professor. That was certainly fast," she mentioned.

"I've dawdled in this world long enough and I still think your plot is foolhardy. I want to be nowhere to be found when you use this on Princess Snow. It's no secret that Prince Charming will tear through anyone that keeps him from her," Claude warned. Rodmilla took the potion.

"Charming will be at our mercy, I assure you," she replied.

"Conceal the entrance where you keep her then and it cannot be uncovered by her children's magic," he instructed.

"Excellent," she replied.

"Now give me the key," he demanded.

"A deal is a deal," she responded, as she used it and created a portal in the wall.

"Best of luck to you, Professor," she said, as he stepped through and the portal closed.

"Is that it, mother?" Drizella asked anxiously, as she came up from the cellar.

"Yes my dear. Once we have her, we will seal her away and then Charming will be bent to your will if he wishes for his precious Snow to remain alive," Rodmilla replied cruelly. Drizella shrieked with joy.

"Finally! How do we get that wretched Princess?" she asked. Rodmilla smirked.

"Leave that to me, dear," she promised. Drizella cackled and rushed upstairs to her vanity. She sat down in front of her mirror and started primping, while gazing at the photo she had of him taped to her mirror.

"I'm finally going to have my happy ending and get my prince charming," she said dreamily, clearly in the midst yet again of a full on delusion. Mother was going to make her fantasies real at last.

"Paging Dr. Whale," a nurse called over the intercom. Whale looked at the clock through bloodshot eyes, as he pocketed his flask and got to his feet, as commotion erupted in the E.R.

"Dr. Whale..." the nurse called.

"What do we have?" he drawled tiredly.

"An accident at the town line, at least two victims with serious injuries," the nurse reported.

"Did you page Dr. Sakura?" he asked.

"No need...I was there. My arm is no shape to operate," Paul said, as approached, while Eva complained about being wheeled around in a wheelchair.

"One of the victims is my father and his magic is already healing him. I can handle him with Doc's assistance, but the other man has internal injuries from the crash. He's going to need surgery," Paul informed. Whale smirked.

"So the amazing Dr. Sakura finally needs my help," Whale goaded.

"Yes...I do. And I'll even ignore that you reek of alcohol," Paul countered.

"Who is he?" Whale asked.

"We don't know...he was driving into Storybrooke from the outside," Paul explained. Now Whale found that intriguing.

"You sure saving him is the best idea?" Whale asked, but Snow overheard.

"Of course we save him!" she insisted. Whale rolled his eyes.

"I don't know, sister. We already got one outsider running around town chasing after your daughter. Do we really need the risk of another finding out about us?" Leroy chimed in.
