MadArcher💚 [Once Upon A Time]

Chapter 13

Robins POV:

Drizella had kidnapped Henry yesterday and we still didn't have a plan. I was getting impatient. ''Mom, when are we going to do something?'' I asked her. ''We need to wait for our back-up'' she responded. ''You have been telling me that for a few days and it looks pretty clear to me, they are not coming!'' I said annoyed. ''They will be here, we just need to give them time'' mom said without looking at me. ''That's something we can't give them. We need to get Henry back!''

And that's where our conversation ended. My mom walked away and talked to Aunt Regina. I walked over to Alice. ''Who are we waiting for?'' Alice asked worried. ''I don't know, my mother is... well, being my mother. She won't tell me anything'' I sighed as I hugged her, ''We have to defeat them.'' Alice didn't say a thing. ''Hey, are you okay?'' I asked worried. ''I need to go'' she said, turned around and walked away. I didn't understand what just had happened. ''Is she okay?'' Ella asked. ''I don't know'' I stared at her from a distance.

Alice's POV:

I needed some time alone. I wanted to fight this battle along her side, but I struggled myself. And I thought that if I couldn't figure my own problems out, how could I fight in this war? I needed some fresh air in the woods. I needed time to think it all through.

Or course I didn't get much time alone. Robin had followed me into the woods. She tried to talk to me. It didn't feel like it helped a bit. ''What's wrong? Talk to me'' she said. I knew she wanted to help me. ''I'm fine. I just need some air'' I lied. ''You know we'll win, right?''

I didn't doubt that. ''I know'' I said, nodding. ''Good'' she smiled at me. She had such a sweet smile. I love her. ''I just need some time alone'' I sighed. ''Just come back before it gets dark. I don't want to get worried about you'' she kept smiling. I smiled back at her. ''I'll be back in a minute'' I said. She went back to the others.

The first stars appeared at the sky. I needed to get back to Robin, even though I still didn't have answers. I'll got them later, I thought. ''Alice.. from Wonderland'' I heard behind me. I froze. ''Wh-what are you doing here?'' I asked as the fear inside me grew. ''I came here to make a deal'' she said. I turned around. ''Whatever it is, I am not interested. Go torture someone else'' I said determined. ''You haven't even heard what I've got to offer'' she smirked. Deep down I didn't want to know what she could give me, because I knew I would probably not be strong enough to resist it. ''Leave me alone, Drizella'' I said. ''Here's the deal'' she started, ''you'll fulfil you're task as the last witch from the coven of the eight and I will cure you're father'' Drizella offered. I was afraid of a deal like this. All I wanted was to hug my father, it made me weak, and she knew it. Tears filled my eyes. ''Are you crying?'' she smirked, because she knew I couldn't make a decision. ''I can get someone else to convince you'' she said and someone appeared next to her. ''Hello, darling'' Gothel said creepy. ''No! I don't want it!'' I yelled, tears dropping. ''Let me introduce myself. I am your mother'' Gothel said. She spoke powerful and I felt she told the truth. ''No... tha...no'' I wispered as I didn't want to believe it. ''Join me, join your mother and help us'' Gothel said. ''You can be with your mother now'' Drizella said. ''I am here for you'' Gothel said. I wished I could believe them, but I couldn't. ''Where were you when I needed you, when I was growing up. No, you're too late now and you have no regrets. The only reason you admitted this is because you need me. No!'' I shouted and I ran. I didn't want anything to do with her.

Tears dropped down my cheek. I felt like I gave up upon dad. How could a daughter do something like that? ''Are you okay? You're late, I was getting worried!'' Robin walked to me the second she saw me. I ignored her. All I wanted was to hug my dad, the only thing I couldn't do. He promised he wouldn't come tonight, and I had promised I wouldn't come tomorrow.

''Do you want to talk about it?'' Robin sat down next to me. I had buried my face in my hands as I sat on the ground. ''No'' I wispered. ''Do you want me to stay?'' Robin asked. ''Yes'' I wispered. She hugged me tight. I didn't want to push her away. I needed her. I needed my Robin.

''We have arrived!'' we heard someone yell excited. I took a deep breath and stood up. ''I'm okay'' I smiled at Robin as we walked back to the others. ''I guess this is our army'' Robin smiled at me and it encouraged me. ''Grumpy!'' Regina said happily and greeted everyone. It were a lot of people who had walked in the palace. I didn't know them all. Robin took my hand and introduced me to everyone. The seven dwarfs. The fairies. Snow White and Prince Charming. Mulan and Aurora. And Hook...

He greeted me. I didn't know what to say. I just stared him in the eyes. At first I thought it was papa and I really wanted to hug him, but his heart wasn't poisened, so it couldn't be. ''Uh... Alice, this is Captain Hook, from Storybrooke'' Robin stambled. ''Are you Alice?'' he asked, curious. I nodded, still staring. ''You're father told me about you. He really cares about you'' he smiled. I nodded. ''Where's Emma?'' Zelena asked. She interrupted the silence between us. Probably more awkward for Hook. ''She's being the Savior, of course. I refused to let her come, she's 6 months pregnant!'' Hook smiled as he greeted Zelena with a hug.

''We need to get to the business'' Regina said and everyone gathered around the table. ''We need to get Henry back and stop Drizella from casting the Dark Curse'' She continued. Everyone agreed. ''What's the plan, Your Majesty?'' Grumpy asked. All seven dwarfs were determined. ''I think that Zelena, Nook, Jack, Ella and I can get Henry back, while the others wait to defeat Drizella and stop the curse'' Regina said. They all agreed with the plan.
