In the morning, Aurelia went searching for food in the nearby woods. Having to find fresh berries in Neverland was not a skill Aurelia ever thought she'd take anywhere else but it was turning out to be quite useful.
But when she got back, Merida was gone. She quickly dropped the fruit she was carrying as she whipped her head around, looking for her.
"No, no, no" she mumbled, running a hand through her hair.
"Oh, yes," Rumple said, standing behind her.
"Merida. Where'd she go?" she asked him.
"Doing what you should be doing. Taking care of herself first. If she gets to the Hill of Stones and whispers into that wisp, it's all over for you, dearie. Unless you kill her" he said.
"I'm not going to kill her! Or anyone" she said.
"Ah, but you don't really mean that" he smirked. Aurelia sighed, not wanting to kill her. But she did need to find her.
"What does the Hill of Stones look like?" she asked.
"You're not thinking of magic-ing there, are you?" he asked.
"Just tell me what it looks like" she sighed.
"I thought you didn't wanna use Dark One magic," he said.
"Please. Just tell me! What does it look like?" she asked, the desperation in her voice clear.
"Well, if you insist..."

By the time Aurelia arrived at the Hill of Stones, Merida was already there. Whispering to the wisp.
"No! I needed that!" she shouted, on the verge of tears as she tried to think of what to do.
"Stop!" Merida said, pulling out her bow and pointing it at her. "I don't know what kind of witch you are, or what strange voices are in your wee head, but I heard everything."
"What's she saying? The accent's a bit much, no?" Rumple asked.
"Whatever you heard, I can explain," Aurelia said.
"I don't need your lies. I need this wisp and I need my brothers, so turn around and go" Merida said.
"She's daring you," Rumple said.
"Now get out of here," Merida said.
"Kill her," Rumple said, as Aurelia groaned at what felt like a million voices in her head.
"Don't test me, witch!" Merida shouted.
"What are you waiting for, Dark One? You know what you have to do. Now go ahead and rip her heart out. You want the wisp. Well, there's only one way. Now do it" Rumple said.
