Prompted by Anonymous on Tumblr: Could you do number 13 from the prompt list for RainyRook please? ("I thought you were dead.")

"Papa!" Alice shouted, running straight into his arms. The curse was broken and as it would seem, the one that poisoned their hearts was as well. He cuddled her closer, cradling the back of her head as he did.

"Oh my Alice," he mumbled, kissing the top of her head.

"I missed you so much," she cried out. They had been in front of each other the entire time, without really knowing it, but she had missed him. The real him.

"I missed you too."

She hugged him for what seemed for forever. Around them, everyone was reuniting, lots of tears and quiet words of love being exchanged. Then Alice's mind drifted to something.

Drizella.

The last she had seen of "Ivy", she said she had to make the ultimate sacrifice. She was making sure that the curse could break and everyone would live out their happy endings.

"Even if I can't have my own."

"Drizella," she breathed, pulling away from her father.

"She's gone, she locked herself away somewhere," Rogers said.

Alice shook her head. "No, no. I have to find her."

"Alice, it's not safe…"

"Papa, you have to trust me."

Running as fast as she could, she ran to the well. Drizella sat, leaning against it, her eyes shut. Tears trickled down Alice's cheeks. What had she done? She knew no one else would care, Drizella was evil in their minds. She was the reason they were in this predicament. Alice knew her better than that, she knew the woman behind the broken girl.

The pretty sorceress she had fallen in love with.

Alice was getting her life back and she wasn't about to lose one of the people she cared most about.

Kneeling in front of Drizella, Alice pushed the hair out of her face. "My beauty," she whispered. "Come back to me."

Kissing her, she felt a rainbow forcefield go over the two. When she pulled away, she was staring directly into the beautiful light brown eyes she had fallen in love with.

"Alice," Drizella whispered. How good it felt to be able to call her that again.

"I thought you were dead," Alice said, caressing her cheek. "You came back to me."

"The curse…everything I've done…"

"You risked your life, your own happy ending, to help all of us."

"No one is going to accept me."

"Even if they don't, I do." Alice took her hand. "Please never scare me like that again."

Drizella laughed, in spite of her own tears. "Even if it was to reunite you and your papa?"

"Even then. I've always had two true loves, I don't think my heart could go on if I lost one."

"It might have to. Regina is vicious, she'll want my head on a stick."

"I'm going to protect you, Drizzy. I swear to it."

Drizella shook her head. "I love you."

"And I love you. Come on," she helped her up.

"Where are we going?" Drizella asked, brushing the dirt off her mini-skirt.

"Home."
