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

Season 4: Episode 9: Smash the mirror Part 2

Azalea opened her eyes, she had been meditating for so long now. Her arms were starting to ache from being held behind her for so long, at least the parts of her body she could still feel. The cave was so cold. Most of her body was freezing, and the teen sympathized with Emma who had been trapped in the ice wall by Elsa. She had been trying to use her magic to melt the ice chains around her wrist, but it was a slow process. Considering her flower crown was gone, and she was mostly cut off from nature in the frozen cave. She had lost track of time, but she knew she had to keep going. She needed to get out, so she could warn Emma, Elsa, and everyone else of the Evil Snow Queens plan. Suddenly the Evil Snow Queen appeared in a puff of magical cloud, she frowned as she ran over to the mirror. "What's happening?" Azalea called out, knowing that something was wrong. She ignored the teen, waving her hand over her magical mirror and Azalea saw Emma appear in the reflection, it looked like her car had been wrecked and she was standing in the middle of the road. "Emma. Wherever you are headed, turn around and go home." She said. Azalea watched as Emma turned around, the snow queen was using her magic to talk to her. "You think I'm going to listen to you? Get out of my way." Emma said with anger. "My sweet girl, I am not the one that you should fear. Rumple is. Whatever he has promised you, it is a lie." Emma frowned. "How do you know he promised me anything?" Emma asked. "So I was right. You must not trust him Emma. He does nothing unless it is a benefit to himself." the Snow Queen said with a frown. "You know what I think, the fact that you don't want me to go means something...I'm going." Emma said. Azalea watched through the mirror as she tried to walk to her car, but the Snow Queen blocked her way using her magic through the mirror. Azalea wanted to help Emma, to say something, but she couldn't reach her. The teen felt useless as she watched. "I won't let you." the Ice Queen said. Emma looked scared for a second, then smirked. "You're not going to hurt me...you need me." Emma tried to pass her but was stopped again. "Please Emma, I'm trying to help you." the Snow Queen said with desperation. "Get out of my way!" Emma said, some of her magic attacking the fake snow queen. But no harm came to her, it only showed Emma that the real Snow Queen wasn't wherever she was at. "Your not really here..." Emma said. "I would be if I could. I'm trying to protect you, and that is the truth." The Snow Queen said. "I don't care what you say, and that's my truth." Emma said, walking straight through the fake Snow Queen and getting in her car. Azalea watched as the connection was broken, and the Snow queen frowned. She turned to Azalea and walked over, grabbing the teen by the front of her dress and pulling her close. "You will help me find her..." She said. Azalea frowned. "Why should I? W-what is she doing?" She asked. "Rumple is tricking her into giving up her magic. You and I both know that can't happen. It doesn't matter who's side your on right now. We need to stop Rumple." Azalea frowned. Emma wanted to get rid of her magic? How was Rumple even planning to do that? "I hate to admit it, but your right." Azalea said. The Snow Queen smirked, "Good." the ice chains from around the girls wrist melted and Azalea sighed, slowly pulling her sore arms in front of her. "We need to hurry and defrost you, so we can save Emma."

-David Pov-

I opened the door to Mary's apartment. She and Regina were talking in the kitchen. "Is everything okay?" I asked walking over to them. "Yea, were fine. Just some girl talk. How is the search for Azalea?" Mary asked. "Still nothing, Ruby threatened to drag me back over here in her wolf form if I didn't come and 'get some rest' everyone is still searching the forest for clues." I said sitting down. "And what about Emma? Any luck?" Regina asked. "Didn't Mary tell you? She called. She figured out a way to get rid of her magic." I told her. "Get rid of it? And your okay with that?!" Regina asked, sounding appalled. "We support our daughter." I told Regina. "Were not talking about an old pair of shoes here...Tell me your joking." Regina said folding her arms. "It may seem drastic, but it is the only way to be sure that Emma never hurts anyone again." Mary said. "This could be the worst idea you have ever had!" Regina said, sounding extremely upset. "This could be good for her - she, we all could be normal." I said shrugging my shoulders. "Sure Azalea will still have her magic. But she's the last in a people group, and she can't live without hers." Mary said. Regina frowned at Mary's words. "You know what I regret most? Remember when you gave Henry that Storybook, instead of letting him be special. Letting his differences shine...I tried to convince him that he was crazy. And that he was better off normal. That was the worst mistake of my life." Regina said. "She's right, David we have been rationalizing and you know it. We cannot let her take away what is special about her." Mary said looking to me. "I know," I said with a sigh. "Well then let's go get her. We can use the locator spell to find her. Then we can all work together to find Azalea." Mary said walking over to the table. But the table was empty. "Regina...it's gone." Mary said with a frown. Realization sparked in my mind and I looked around. "Where's Elsa?" I asked. Already knowing the answer. She had gone to find Emma on her own.
