The citizens of Storybrooke watch as a new curse approaches. As the green smoke consuming everything in its path the heroes could only hope for a savior. They look at each other believing that they will get through this not knowing that maybe this time they won't.

Across town Cruella watches as the curse engulfs everything, the new curse will not be some half-baked plan, there will not even a drop of magic in this new realm. This one will really destroy them all, and she will get a front row seat to watch it as it happens.

"Cruella De Vil can no longer take away the life of another."

Her only pleasure in this world was taken from her but in the next world she will savor the sounds of the dying. She might not be capable of murder but that doesn't mean the other world can't destroy them. The carnage that she can already imagine the curse will cause is playing in her mind. A game to the death, a game she will only win as she watches each one of them turn on each other.

They find hope in a girl on fire, a girl who is different.

It doesn't end when she breaks the rules of the game.

They find hope in finding her true love.

It doesn't end when they kiss.

They find hope in a better world where the game no longer exists.

It doesn't end when they take the Capitol.

They find hope in defeating Coin.

It doesn't end as the last of them die in the Civil War guarding the Girl on Fire.

Cruella looks on from the safety of her home in the Capital and laughs.
