A/N: I'm BBBBAAACCCKK! Enjoy Season 2!
When the smoke cleared, Avery felt the power surge through her, a power that was rightfully hers. Gods, did she miss this feelings, and she was not afraid to admit it. She flicked her wrist and heard the lock on her father's pawnshop door 'click'. That's when it truly sunk in that magic was here, and Avery liked it. In a puff of smoke she disappeared and reappeared next to Snow White, Prince Charming, and their crew. When the smoke cleared, she saw a little family reunion happening. She knew by how terrified Emma looked. All eyes were on her, no one spoke, then Henry said astonished.
"Magic really is here." he was a little too excited.
"It is..." Avery trailed off, then she felt something she hadn't felt in a long time, someone was calling her. This one was her father. "Snow, call if you need anything." She said hugging the fully realized Snow.
"I know the drill, its been the same since I was a kid." Snow smiled, and poof Avery was gone again. She reappeared to where she felt the call coming from, or at least where she thought the call was coming from. Aver looked around and saw that she was alone in the middle of the forest.
Hello?" she said, "Daddy?" she repeated a little louder.
"Avery, Love?" she turned to see her father limping towards her. She noted that she did not appear next to him.
"I must have over shot." Avery said, more to herself then to him.
"That's never happened before." he said, she noticed him making a mental note of that, as she did.
"Probably just out of practice." Avery shrugged trying to convince herself and her father.
"Yes.. Well.. come, I have something to show you." He said, taking her hand gently. She walked with hi, for a few feet to a small clearing. She saw a well, but also a figure standing behind it.
"Sweetheart." Her father said to the figure, getting its attention. As it did, the figure walked to the side of the well, and Avery saw brown hair and bright blue eyes.
"Averianna?" It was Belle's voice. Avery found it instantly impossible to breathe. Belle was dead. Avery did not believe what she was seeing, until she felt a hug. That made Avery loose it and she cried, hugging the woman back. Belle the same height as her in reality, but even in their world Avery wore heels, making Belle a bit shorter, Avery sank to her level a little and cried in her shoulder.
"Mom. I-I thought you were dead." Avery cried, Belle just held her, and they were both sobbing.
"I know. But I am fine. I'm here love."
"How?" Avery started, backing away a little, she looked at her father, "Who?"
"Two guesses." he growled. Avery knew it was Regina. Avery stood there shocked that she had been one of Regina's victims this whole time. Not only had she been, the woman she thought of as a mom was. Avery tried not to become angry. Before she got a chance, Snow's voice echoed in her head. She put it in her head for later.
"I have to go to Snow." That was all she had to say. Her father nodded and put a protective arm around Belle. "Go. Everything will still be OK when you get back."
"Daddy, are you going to kill Regina?" Avery asked, part of her really hoped he would say yes.
"No, he's not. He promised me." Belle said, she kissed Avery's forehead. "Go help people. Its what you've always been good at." With that, Avery disappeared, thinking about Regina, dark thoughts.
Yes I do realize it's rather short. But only because with everything that comes in the real world in this season I believe there are many natural breaking points that the show could not stop at.
Next chapter answers a question that I think needs to be touched on.. How did Avery get Magic?! O.o
