A Curse that can't be Broken

Tea Time

When Regina and the others arrived back from their night out, they came home to David and Killian sitting at the dinning room table. Each with a cup of coffee and the board games and pizza boxes shoved to the side.

Regina tilted her head as she looked around, "Where is Edith and Coal?" she asked as Emma noticed the same thing. Mary Margret hung up her coat when the question was asked. She too now had a small worried look on her face.

"Sound asleep on the couch." Killian stated as he leaned back in his chair and took a sip from his coffee. "I hope that's de-cafe." Emma pointed to his cup as Regina moved to the living room. There she found both Coal and Edith passed out next to one another. They seemed so peaceful, and yet disturbing. Regina narrowed her eyes, "Please tell me you both didn't fall for this."

Both David and Killian got up from where they were sitting and headed to the couch. "Fall for what?" David asked as he looked over the two teens.

Regina rolled her eyes and reached out tugging on the blanket under the two. With the slightest movement the two teens feathered into the blanket. Regina lifted up the blanket and showed it to them. "It's one of the first tricks in the book." Regina couldn't believe what she had come home to.

Killian turned to Emma and looked to his cup, "Non de-cafe now, love." he stated in a somewhat hushed tone.

"Where do you think they went to?" Mary Margret spoke up as she came over to help inspect the scene.

"Probably ran off." Emma shook her head before running a hand through her hair.

"How long did were they over here?" Regina asked as she tossed the blanket back onto the couch.

David looked to Killian hoping the pirate would state the answer. Killian just motioned to his cup before heading off to the kitchen.

"A few hours..." David finally answered.

"Hours?" Regina exclaimed.

"They said they wanted to watch tv." David stated in defense.

The room started to feel a bit tense with this new information. Mostly from Regina's side. These were her kids. The only other two people that knew what she knew were standing in the room next to her.

"Where could they have gone to?" Mary Margret asked.

This hit Regina like a tone of bricks. Lost like how she was with Henry when he was younger. There were times where Henry would run off to one of his hiding places and she would have no idea where that was. She got lucky that Emma was around and Henry shared those places with her.

These were two kids from her own flesh and blood and she didn't even know where to start. She made her way to the bottom of the stairs as she tried to think quickly. She knew there were things around the house that belonged to them. A simple tracking spell would help with this situation.

"We'll help find them Regina." Mary Margret tried to shed some light onto the situation.

"Find who?" Coal stood at the top of the stairs and started to make his way down. He stopped half way when everyone came into the main entry way to look at him.

Regina and the others felt greatly confused. "Where's Edith?" She asked as she studied the young teen.

Coal smirked and leaned on the rail, "In her room sleeping." He tilted his head. "Why?" he asked with a small sly smirk.

Regina narrowed her eyes, "Do you think this is funny?" She asked.

Coal wanted to laugh but shook it off. "Not as much as a cheating pirate." Coal looked to Killian who came back into the room.
