Dream and Aurora stopped at a stream when Dream asked the frogs to help her find Emma, Mary Margaret, and Mulan, so they were not running around clueless in the big, scary forest.
"So, how long have you been talking to frogs?" Aurora asked while they were following the small frog that was leading the way.
"Um... A week, at most." Dream shrugged when Aurora raised her brow. "Once the curse broke, many things did not make sense in my life. But if talking to frogs will help us find the others, then I'm all for it. As long as I don't have to kiss one." Dream chuckled when Aurora nodded, following her.
"Henry... Is your little brother, isn't he?" Aurora asked, making Dream look at her.
"Yeah... Why do you--"
"Before Cora kidnapped me, we tried to contact him to find a way to defeat her with Rumpelstiltskin's help. Where we were both under the--" Aurora went to say as Dream sighed, remembering the day the curse broke when she was so scared to lose Henry.
"Sleeping curse... Right..." Dream said, nodding when Aurora nodded.
"So, he's your brother and Emma's son?"
"Yeah. It's this thing called adoption in my land. Emma gave him up when he was a baby, and my mom adopted him when I wanted a baby sibling. And I was actually born from a rose... Like an enchanted rose." Dream said as Aurora nodded, making Dream chuckle. "So, the adoption part stumped you... But you understand the rose part." Dream mumbled to herself, walking forward when she realized that she kept feeling more like an outsider as the days went on.
Meanwhile.
Cora returned to check on Dream and Aurora; however, she entered an empty cell. She looked around, moving around the bird cage when she saw the stew that Dream kicked onto the ground.
"Looking for someone?"
Cora turned around at the sound of the familiar voice. Hook.
"Oh... Oh, don't tell me you were dumb enough to let her go... Both of them go..." Cora scoffed softly when Hook shrugged, smirking at Cora.
"She was never gonna give you what you wanted anyway. And she won't have left the princess." Hook shrugged, making Cora scoff again.
"So, you freed her and stuck around for the petty satisfaction... of seeing me suffer?" Cora asked, mocking what she thought the pirate's plan was.
"Oh, watching you suffer is a tempting motivation, but it wasn't that." Hook corrected her when Cora continued to smile as if she did not just lose her granddaughter and prisoner.
"Well, then you must have a death wish." Cora smiled before raising her hand to use her magic to sling Hook up against the stone wall while the wall wrapped around his hand, feet, and hook. Cora walked closer, taking off his hook, when she moved his vest, revealing his chest, looking up at him. "You know I have to kill you." She said, but Hook did not look nervous.
"You should try thanking me." Hook said, making Cora furrow her brows.
"Oh, really? Why is that?" She asked him, still holding the hook to his chest.
"Because I've brought you a gift. The one thing you wanted... It's in the satchel." Hook said, motioning to the brown satchel that was by his hip.
"What is it?" Cora asked, sounding skeptical, unsure whether she could trust the pirate.
"Customarily, surprise is part of the fun of gift giving. Open it." He insisted when she grabbed his satchel, opening it to find a glowing heart.
"Is that--" She went to ask as he nodded.
