MadArcher💚 [Once Upon A Time]

Chapter 25

After a long, long journey Robin and Hook arrived at Rumpelstiltskin's castle. ''Maybe he left something behind that can help us'' Hook said and they started searching. His castle was very large and it was impossible to search everything. 

After three days with nothing but searching for a clue, Robin gave up. ''There's nothing here, if there was, we would've found it by now'' she said as she sat down. ''Robin, we can't give up'' 

''We've searched everywhere. You'd expect to find it with his other magic, right?''

''Maybe that's the point''

''What do you mean?'' Robin didn't understand. 

''We'd expect it to be there, Rumple knows we think that way. We need to think like him''

''And what if you're wrong. Every hour we're here, we're not there with her'' 

''We haven't searched in a specific room''

''Which one is that?''

''The storage room''

''He has a storage room?''

''The Dark One loved his possessions, but of course there were too many too keep. So things he didn't need at the moment, he'd place there''

''And how do you know all this?'' Robin asked as she followed Hook up the stairs. ''I dedicated half of my life trying to get my revenge on him. I knew almost everything about him. I never expected him to--''

''Give up his own life? Die a hero?''

''Yeah... Look, it's here'' Hook said. After waiting a second he opened the door. The room wasn't really large, so usually it wasn't hard to find an object here. But this. This was the messiest room Robin and Hook had ever seen. Everything lay piled up. No one cleaned here in years, if it had ever been clean. ''So, how are we going to find it now?'' Robin asked. 

''It'll be here, just search for a piece of paper of some sort. Something that has the ingredients and the recipe we need'' Hook said and started searching. Robin followed.

''When can I get out?'' Tilly asked. She didn't want to stay and besides, she was fine. ''I got orders to keep you here until Rogers returns'' the woman said. ''Why? I can manage on my own'' Tilly said indignant. ''I know, but--''

''I'm leaving'' Tilly said. She took her things and walked away. ''I can't let you do that Al- Tilly'' the woman said. ''Yes, you can'' Tilly said and passed her. That nurse was not gonna stand in her way. 

Tilly went back to her trailer. She changed clothes and poured a cup of tea. 

Later that day Tilly went to Roni's, to find Margot. But when she came there she noticed the piece of paper on the door.

''Bar is closed. We went back to Storybrooke''

Storybrooke? What was that? A town? Maybe that's where Margot went. When she said goodbye it was totally weird. ''Excuse me?'' Tilly said to the person that walked by. Lucky for her, it was Jacinda, a familiar face. ''Hey Tilly'' she smiled. Hook and Robin had told some other people about her condition, so Tilly wouldn't be confused if someone called her Alice. ''Do you know where Storybrooke is?'' Tilly asked. ''Yes, of course, uh, it,s the first town north'' Jacinda smiled. ''Thanks'' Tilly said and walked away. She noticed the Police Department. No one was there, but Rogers' car was. She smiled and ran to it. It wasn't hard to break in. Even though she didn't know how to drive, she'd find out soon enough.
