Once Upon a Time

Chapter 51

‘Oh no, no, no, no.’ Snow whispered, covering her mouth with her hand.

Snow was the only one who had said something after Hope had told them the news. Rapunzel, Flynn, Faith, Red and Charming were staring at her wide-eyed.

‘I know, I was shocked at first too, but maybe it’s not that bad.’ Hope said.

‘What do you mean?’ Finn asked behind her.

Hope had asked them to come to Finn’s room, so he wouldn’t feel left out of everything.

‘I mean, that I could maybe track her down now we know I am linked to her?’ Hope suggested.

‘Hope you don’t understand.’ Charming said who had now his arms around a sobbing Snow.

‘What do you mean? And why is everyone staring at me like that!’ Hope said.

The way they were staring gave her goosebumps as if she just told them she was dying or something.

‘The kind of linking the Evil Queen had to use.’ Charming started.

‘It means that if we kill her, you’ll die with her and vice versa.’ Charming said.

‘Wh-what?’ Hope stammered.

‘You’re kidding right?’ Finn asked from behind Hope.

Charming shook his head as a tear rolled down his cheek.

‘It’s all my fault.’ Snow said softly.

‘If I had just paid more attention this would never had happened.’ she said.

‘Don’t think like that! It’s not your fault.’ Hope said.

‘She’s right.’ Charming said.

‘Nobody could know this.’ he said.

‘But what do we do with the Evil Queen? Now we know this.’ Faith asked.

‘We can’t kill her.’ Finn said.

‘No, I came that far, thank you.’ Faith said.

‘I don’t know.’ Hope said.

‘We can hurt her, I won’t feel a thing.’ Hope said.

‘Are you sure?’ Rapunzel asked.

Hope nodded.

‘When I blew her away from Finn at my birthday celebration, I didn’t feel a thing and I did hurt her.’ Hope said.

‘Don’t we have something that will take away her magic? Something we can lock her up in where her magic won’t work?’ Hope asked.

‘We only have to capture her and put her in there.’ Hope said.

‘There is something.’ Red said.

Snow looked up and shook her head.

‘What?’ Hope asked.

‘No, nothing, it’s too dangerous.’ Snow said.

‘That’s the only way Snow.’ Red said.

‘What is it?’ Hope asked.

‘If we want to get that, we need help from someone.’ Red said.

‘Who?’ Hope asked.

‘Rumpelstiltskin.’ Snow said.

‘Hope please, stop it.’ Finn said walking after her.

Hope had taken off to her room, to change into her hunting gear.

‘Finn, don’t you get I’ve got to do this?’ Hope asked.
