A Curse that can't be Broken

Purple People

Edith sat in the living room with a plate of goodies as she locked eyes with the food network. She chewed slowly with her eyes wide at the screen.

'tap,tap,tap'

Came at the front door.

She tried not to take her eyes off the TV as she turned her head to look over her shoulder. She looked about quickly before turning back to the television.

'Tap,Tap,Tap'

Came again.

Edith looked to the door and saw nothing. Her eyes curious as she wondered where the sound was coming from.

'TAP,TAP,TAP'

Edith almost jumped at the sound. She slowly got up from the couch and paused the TV. She was happy that she knew how, seeing as Martha was just about to tell her how to make the best roast in the world.

She made her way to the door and once again someone knocked. She looked to the stairs, the to the kitchen. She knew Coal and her mom were indeed home, but not sure where. As for answering the door. Regina made it clear for her not to.

The tapping turned into thuds and without second guessing she unlocked and opened the door.

Belle rushed in, "I need to speak with your brother." She stated in a hurry. Emma stood behind Belle, showing signs of regret and exhaustion.

"Ummm...?" Edith was at a loss as she looked from Belle to Emma.

Emma shrugged, "All i know is that she needs to talk to the cheater." She muttered as she entered the house and shut the door behind them.

Edith slowly chewed what food she had left in her mouth before gulping a bit. "I don't know where he is at the moment." She confessed.

Belle was all over the place as she went to step away from them to find Coal only to step back and face Edith. She pulled out the paper Quasi gave her and showed it to Edith. "Do you know this man?" she asked making sure her words were very clear.

Edith looked at the picture and immediately knew who the man was. She slowly looked to Belle and slowly shook her head no. The words of Coal rushing through her mind as she did so.

"His name is Uther." Belle told Edith.

Edith slowly nodded with her eyes held wide.

"He and your brother have similar magic." She pointed out. Belle wasn't sure if she could trust the words from Quasi, but it's all she had. And he told her that Coal could help Rumple. Her mission was simple. Get Coal, bring him to Rumple and have Coal fix him.

"What is going on here?" Regina asked as she made her way down the stairs. Belle quickly turned to Regina and meet her halfway up the steps. She held the picture out to Regina. "This man... His name is Uther. He placed the spell on Rumple." She exclaimed.

Regina was now strongly confused as she took the paper.

Emma slowly made her way over to Edith and leaned over a bit. "You're lying." she told the young girl.

Edith snapped her attention towards Emma. She gulped again, swallowing the rest of her food. "You know exactly who that is." Emma pointed out.

All attention turned back to Regina when Belle rushed past her snatching the paper from her hand. She almost fell over one of the steps as she approached Coal. Coal was in shock just like the others in the room. He heard the noise and only came to see what was going on. Only to be bombarded by Belle.

"You can fix Rumple." She stated as she held the picture out in front of her.

Coal glanced around to the others in the room before looking to the picture. He had seen this picture before. Not just the man, but he knew this picture from their future. He slowly took the drawing and looked it over.
