Her Weakness✔

Chapter 36

Zelena

Zelena slipped in food for Rumpelstiltskin. She watched happily as he ate it all up desperately. Unlike Rumple, Evelina didn't move from her corner, and Zelena could tell she refused to eat anything. The witch flicked her wrist and magic consumed both she and Evelina. When the green smoke cleared away, Evelina could tell they were inside the small farmhouse.

"You must eat."

"Fuck off." Evelina snapped. Zepena wasn't effected and instead sat down at the kitchen table.

She used her magic to conjure up some pancakes and a cup of steaming tea.

"Sit." Zelena commanded. When Evelina still refused to listen, she had to use her magic to force her to sit down. Evelina grunted as her body moved on it's own and was forced to sit at the table.

"Now eat."

Evelina wanted to resist but the pain in her belly told her otherwise. She picked the fork up and began to eat. Once the sweet taste of maple syrup hit her tongue, she began to eat it all up quicker. She hadn't eaten in days, it tasted like heaven to her. Zelena pushed the cup of tea closer to Evelina, a sign telling her to drink. The blonde scrunched her eyes at the cup.

"I hate tea." She said.

Zelena's eye twitched.

She flicked her hand and the tea became a refreshing glass of orange juice. Evelina glanced at Zelena before gulping it down. The witch looked pleased.

"Want to eat anything else?" She asked Evelina. The princess looked up. She narrowed her eyes before wiping her mouth and crossing her arms.

"No."

Zelena smiled. "Good."

Evelina watched as the witch stood from her seat and took the plates to the sink. The young princess cleared her throat.

"I don't understand why I'm here?"

"Good. Stay confused." Zelena responded. Evelina frowned.

"Follow me." Zelena said plainly and walked off. The young girl stood after her. They walked through the small house and ended at a small room.

It was tiny. Only a small bed and a nightstand were able to fit. A lamp sat on the stand and the bed was covered by a light grey quilt. Various pillows covered the bed and some pale pink curtains draped over the single window in the room.

Evelina turned to Zelena.

"This is your room from now on. You are not permitted to leave this house and mind you, don't go snooping around in others business." Zelena instructed. Evelina walked into the room and frowned. She turned to Zelena.

"Why are you giving me a room?"

"Consider it a gift. Believe me, one day you'll thank me." Zelena said before slamming the door behind her. Evelina heard a click and it was obvious she was locked in.

The blonde glanced at her wrist and growled. The stupid leather cuff taunted her. Evelina was way too familiar with the cuff. She sat on the bed and without trying, she let out a relieved moan and laid down. It had been ages since she felt a bed as soft as the one Zelena had granted her.

Evelina quickly threw her shoes off and slipped under the warm covers.

She smiled before slipping into a dreamless sleep.

Zelena smirked as she watched Evelina lay down to sleep. The witch had a spell, where she could enchant any mirror so she would be able to watch the girl wherever she was.

The witch turned back to Rumple.

Rumpelstiltskin was quickly spinning straw into gold. He was so lost in his work, he had lost his head in the meanwhile. He wasn't sure why Zelena needed so much gold straw but he didn't care as long as she didn't kill him.

Zelena watched happily as Rumple worked hard on the straw. She pulled out the Dark One's dagger before snickering.

"Remember, love, your life lies in my hands." She whispered. Rumple suddenly stopped his actions. He looked up to Zelena, and for a moment, all crazy left him.

"Where's Evelina?"

"Don't worry about the young Frost, Rumpelstiltskin. She will be fine. The plans for her don't involve physical injuries... Emotional ones maybe, but she'll come out of this in one piece. Give my word."

He stared at her. Eventually he snapped away and returned to his rapid spinning and random words.

"Feed the madness and it feeds on you... The monsters will soon come after you."

Zelena walked out afterwards. She had business to deal with in the outskirts of Storybrooke. She walked up the stairs, shutting the door behind her.

She looked up to the skies before whistling. A flyinf monkey immediately responded and she smirked at it.

"Come along. We have work to do."

Felix let out a devastated sigh. The final battle between Wendy and the lost boys had cost Slightly his life. They found themselves on the same beach where Sebastian's funeral had taken place. The same traditional farewell was given to Slightly.

"She has taken too much from us." Melody said as she neared Felix and Peter. Felix grabbed Melody's hand and gave it a light kiss.

"Back to the water, Mel?" She nodded.

"I only came back to slice her head off.  My kingdom needs me back. Mother will go crazy if I'm gone for more days on end. Promise I'll visit." She confirmed and Felix nodded. Peter swallowed harshly before clearing his throat.

"Thank you, Melody." He said. It sounded like it pained him to thank someone and Felix chuckled.

Peter left Felix to have some alone time with the mermaid. He walked towards the bag that rested on the beach. He picked it up and strapped it on.

"Going to go look for her?" Felix asked as he walked behind Pan.

"I have to. She's in Storybrooke. The Wendy situation has been taken care of. Now, Zelena will pay for what she has done." He hissed. Pan couldn't let Evelina escape from his fingers again. She was the only one who could make him feel things he had never felt before.

He just had to get her back.

"You're in charge while I'm away, Felix."

"Yes, Pan."

Evelina checked every room in the small farmhouse. She pulled back the curtains of the window in the living room and growled. She examined the ledge of the window and knew it was covered in magic. Evelina grabbed a penny and flicked it towards it. The coin quickly jumped back and burned away.

She huffed. Out of frustration, she screamed to the top of her lungs.

Evelina was lucky Regina was walking by with Robin Hood at the same time she screamed.
