3rd POV:

Somewhere within a cage, Zelena watched as Rumple spun gold. Then she suddenly stopped him, "There. That'll do. You said it yourself: Spinning clears your mind," She picked up the plate of gold and waved her hand over it, turning it into a brain with her magic. "Or should I say... your brain," She opened a chest with a beating heart and the hilt of a sword inside. She placed the pain down inside of the chest and said, "There's just two more ingredients to collect."

We had gotten Mary-Margret to the hospital and I was helping Emma and Regina put up a protection spell. David was with Mary-Margret in the hospital room and Henry was waiting in the waiting room. "You really think this protection spell will be enough to hold her off?" Emma asked as soon as we were done.

Regina walked over to Emma and I, "It depends, if your brand of magic is stronger than hers. If it is, no one wielding dark magic will be able to get in here."

"That doesn't sound like a vote of confidence." Emma stated.

"Way to lighten up the mood." I stated, but I was only given a look.

"It isn't, but we're out of options." Regina stated grimly.

I could see Hook walking over here so I turned to Emma, "I'm gonna go check on Henry," She nodded and then Hook approached her. I walked over to where I saw Henry and sat down. I glanced over at him and he did the same, "So... are you excited?"

Henry nodded, "Yeah..." He seemed to be lost in thought.

I grew concerned, "What's wrong?" I inquired.

"Mom told me..." He trailed off.

"About what?" I was confused. What could he be talking about?

"She told me that Zelena was also coming after you too." Henry replied.

"Henry-" Before I could say anything else Henry started speaking again.

"Aria, I'm going to make sure that you don't get taken by her." Henry said confidently.

I smiled, "Well, I appreciate that."

"I'm serious," Well, he certainly look serious. "Do you have any idea why Zelena would be after you?"

I shook my head, "None whatsoever." Soon enough, Leroy had joined us and the three of us all went to see how everything was going. When we saw Emma, Hook was waiting for her as she walked toward us.
