Angelina's POV
Over the next few days everything in Storybrooke is quiet. No one else has gone missing and the number of people who have been searching through the woods quickly diminished. I've spent most of my time between helping my father search the woods and showing my mother the extent of my magical abilities. Nick and Ruby have been getting closer. The two have been frequently found helping search the woods or touring the town.
My mother was ecstatic when I first showed her my magic, as was my father. They both believe that my magic is powerful enough to defend the town from my aunt and grandmother, as long as I am able to gain control over it.
My mother brought me to the middle of the town to meet with Rumplestilskin. She believes that he can help guide her magic to become to it's apex.
We step through the door to Rumple's shop to find the said man on the ground with Belle, his wife, leaning over him trying to wake him up.
"What happened?" My mother steps forward into the shop.
"Zelena, she said she was going to come for us." Belle gasps she Rumple's body slowly disappears from sight.
Belle cries out and holds onto the floor where her husband used to lie.
Suddenly an envelope appears in place of Rumple's body. I quickly pick it up.
Dearest Angelina,
My niece,
Glad to see you finally made it back home, thanks to my help. I have your precious Peter and I have Rumplestilskin now as they will be forced to fight beside me.
Meet me at 10:00 tonight at the clock tower to chat. Bring your mother, only one will walk away alive.
Auntie Zelena.
➼
"Well it's almost ten! Where's the witch?" Grumpy groans.
Word spread quick about the note Zelena left and the whole town turned up at 10:00 to witness whatever my aunt had planned. My mother stands beside me at the bottom of the clock tower with Nick to my right. Ruby stands in her wolf form, prepared to jump in if we need her help. My father stands next to my mother and his armed men stand behind him. Several other members of the town stands around as witnesses including a now pregnant Snow White and Prince Charming. Emma and her lover, Captain Hook, stand on the sidewalk with the dwarves, Granny, who is armed with her shotgun, and a very anxious Belle.
A cloud of green smoke appears as three figures come into focus. Zelena stands tall in the middle, wearing a long black, long sleeved dress with a rather crooked black top hat. Her skin sparkles green. Rumple steps forward and stands on the witch's right. His eyes are dark and glossed over.
"He's been cursed," my mother whispers to me. "He'll do as she says. I don't care that you've known the man for almost as long as you've been born. If he comes at you, do not hesitate."
I nod at my mother, squeezing her hand as another figure comes into view. Peter. I gasp as his appearance. His eyes are dark and glossed over, same as Rumple's, but he looks like he's been through hell and back. The boy that I love looks broken, beaten and lost. His eyes show no form of hope, unlike the small glimmer that I saw in Rumple's eyes when he saw his wife. Peter shows no emotion as he stares straight ahead, not making direct eye contact with anyone.
"Well, well, well," Zelena sends a wicked grin my way and slow spins around examining the crowd. "It seems I know how to make a scene."
"Please!" Belle steps forward only to be held back by Emma, "let Rumple go!"
Zelena laughs. "I don't think so. I'll admit, he was harder to submit than Peter was. As soon as I threatened my niece's life, Peter was quick to conform to my ways. Rumple at least put up a fight."
I glare at the witch as Ruby growls and only quiets when Nick places a hand on her large shoulder.
"What do you want Zelena?" My mother scoffs.
"Honestly I just wanted to chat with my niece but since there's a crowd we might as well give them a show," she smirks as her arm thrusts forward, sending my mother flying backwards into the clock tower.
Ruby then runs forward in an attempt to attack the wicked witch until Peter stands in front of her. Ruby hesitates allowing Peter's magic to toss the wolf across town. She lands with a thud hard enough that it leaves a crater sized hole in the road. She jumps up and shakes her head, ready to attack again.
Zelena laughs, "ready to give up yet?"
She's shoved backwards by magic as my mother emerges from the bottom of the clock tower. Rumple catches Zelena with a grimace on his face before she hits the ground. It's visible that he's trying to fight off the witches curse. Peter on the other hand, stands watching with his hands behind his back and an emotionless stare across his face. My father and his men shoot arrows towards Zelena, who simply uses her magic to turn the arrows around and shoot them into the crowd. I quickly use my own magic to disintegrate the arrows before they hit the crowd. I turn and face my aunt before channeling my magic and blasting her. She simply smirks and sends my magic back at me as I go flying into the clock tower. I land on the floor at the top of the tower and grip my head, looking back at the whole in the clock that my body just flew through. I sit up as Peter appears in front of me.
"Peter." I stare at the boy who squats in front of me. His eyes are still black and he looks at me as if I am his prey.
"Peter it's me," I whisper.
He says nothing as his hand grips my neck, pulling me to a standing position. He cocks his head to the side as his grip tightens and I slide up the wall. I claw at his hand before blasting him with my magic. His head hits the wall of the small tower and he immediately stands. He throws magic at me and I avoid it by ducking.
"Peter stop!"
He continues to advance.
"Stop! I won't hurt you!"
I back up until my back hits the wall. He thrusts his hand into my chest and squeezes my heart. I scream out in pain as he pulls it from my chest. Suddenly he's on the ground and Nick stands over him with a wooden board in his hands.
I let out a shaky breath and watch in horror as his body disappears. I run to the broken window and look out to find both Rumple and Zelena gone. My mother rushes up the stairs and wraps her arms around me.
"What is this?" I turn to find my heart in Nick's hands.
"What did he want with your heart?" My mother takes my heart from Nick's hands as my father and Ruby run up the stairs.
"A lot of spells call for a heart."
"So she's planning something?" Ruby asks, stepping around Nick.
My mother nods and looks at me, "I'm going to put it back, okay?"
I nod as my mother wraps one arm around my back, holding my body to hers and pushes my heart back into my chest. I gasp and lean into her embrace.
"Let's get you home." My mother sends me a sad smile.
I nod and start down the steps as I grow dizzy and my knees buckle out from under me. My father catches me and carries me the rest of the way home with my mother, Nick and Ruby by our side.
