Leah's life (a Once Upon a Time fanfic)

Chapter 39

"This is bad, how does Emma manage to get take by the evil queen and how do I fix it?" I asked the Dark One pacing the floors of the grand hall at his castle.

"Beats me deary but the more important thing is how are you going to fix the mess your parents are in," he said.

"Right one thing at a time. Can you show me where they are again," I asked stopping my pacing.

"There in the forrest. by the looks of it Prince James has got Snow White in a trap," he said looking into the crystal ball.

"Great," I said then tried to use my magic to transport me there but it didn't work the first time, pr the second, or the third. All I got was light headed. "Come on," I said and tried it a forth time.

"Well, well, looks like someone is losing there powers," Rumple said.

"I can't deal with this right now, can you please just transport me to them," I said with a sigh. 

Then with in the blink of an eye I was in the forest jus a few inches from my parents.

"Don't worry I'm not going to turn you in," dad said, "All I want is the ring you stole from me and I'll let you go." 

"I don't have it," mom stated, "I'm not the jewlery type."

"Awe, then why don't I believe you?"

"You should," I said coming around the try I was behind, "She telling the truth she does't have it." Dad looked over in shock as I continued. "Princess Diana, lovely ball you threw the other night. Snow White does not have your ring. But I can tell you who does, my sister. And I need your help to get it back."

"She has my ring? Great that two woman who robbed from me," he said with a sigh, "Where is she?"

"You see, that's the problem. The queen's castle," I said.

"That not a problem at all. I know it well, it used to be mine," Mom said from the net, "I can get us in there, but not from up here. You let me down and you get your sister, you get your ring, and I never have to see your charming face again."

Dad smirked then pulled out his sword and cut the rope that was holding up the net my mother was in.  When she got out the three of us went looking for some form of transportation and came across an abandoned cart and got in. Now, I'm not the best at the carriage driving but I tried. I went over another bump the shook the carriage and apologized to my parents. then all the sudden my father started to laugh.

"Your really enjoying this aren't you, Charming?" Mom said.

"Its not my fault your face is plastered on every tree in the forest," he responded with anther laugh. 

After that I just decided to tune them out and focus on what I was doing.

"We're here," I said as the castle approached.

"We're going to need help getting past her guards. Wait here," my mom said and hopped out of the carriage, "We will go at night. I'll be back by then."

Night fall came and my father and I started a fire.

"Are you excited for your wedding?" I asked.

"I'm marrying Midas's daughter. What's not to be excited about?" he said but there was no heart in his words.

"Well, I don't mean to pry. But you don't necessarily look like someone who is doing this by choice."

"I always thought I'd marry for love. And now I'm about to embark on something that's nothing more then a business transaction. This whole thing makes me wonder if there really is such a thing as true love."

"Well I can tell you from experience that there is just such a thing as true love."

"Your marriage?"

"I was, he  passed away not to long ago," I said think of August.

"I'm sorry to here that," he said looking at me with piety for my situation.

There was rustling in the woods and a figure of a person coming toward us. 

"Who is that?" I said.

"I don't know but I think we are about to find out," dad said while standing up a pulling out his sword.
