Robin was holding Regina's elbow to steady her since she was still a bit shaken from the fall. He was sure she was hurt but she's not the kind of person to show on the outside.
"What happened to him? I mean it's cold but not that cold!"
"I don't know. I can't shake the feeling it's not something but someone doing this." Regina was trying to remember, if she ever heard of someone who uses this kind of magic but couldn't come up with anyone. She raised her hand and tried magic to revive Mr. Gold but nothing happened.
"I'll call the others." Regina automatically moved a bit away when she called Emma. Robin was already missing her touch, her warmth. He still couldn't believe the things that were happening. At least this kept his mind a bit away from the decisions he will have to make in the next few days. He still haven't really gotten a chance to talk to Marian. He even avoided her. Roland was slightly warming up to his mother but she still was a little bit of a stranger to him. She died when he was really young. From what he gathered Regina played some part in his wife's death. That's an other thing he didn't know how to react to. For now until this problem was solved he only wanted to concentrate on helping Regina and the others.
A few minutes later the others arrived.
"This is really weird." Snow said. "And where is Belle if Rumpel is here?"
"I have a feeling, that this curse is similar to the sleeping one and can be broken with true love only, that's why they took belle. Maybe this person is after the dagger - again" Regina guessed.
"So what should we do with him now? Move him to town? Get him to city hall?" Hook asked.
"Well if you still have your bloodlust Pirate, then sure do that! If he melts he probably dies! We should leave him here until we have figured everything out!"
David nodded. "I agree with Regina!" he looked down to his mobile phone. "We have to get back to town anyways. I just got a text, that there are some things happening on City Square."
Everyone started to run immediately. They were all worried about their loved ones back in the city.
When the group arrived in town most of the people were out on the streets.
"What is happening?" Emma asked.
Grumpy ran to them. "She's in golds shop!"
"She?" they asked in a chorus.
"Yes this girl all dressed in blue and shooting icicles around. She looked quite angry."
"Well since this is bloody arctic right now, I bet that she's angry, mate!"
Grumpy rolled his eyes at Hook.
David took it upon himself to speak to the people again.
"Everyone please go back to city hall into the warm! There's no need to be out here. We'll try and talk to her!"
People started leaving but Marian ran to Robin.
"I didn't see you all days today. I don't like you being in such danger since I'm back! We have so many things to talk about, I can't stay in that Hotel forever!"
"Marian I'm sorry, but I really cannot deal with this at the moment, please!"
"Okay but I'm coming too!"
"Don't you rather want to spend time with Roland?"
"He's acting weird around me at the moment! I think it's better if you are there too when I interact with him"
Robin didn't know what to say. The others were about to leave. He saw Regina looking back with hurt in her eyes. He couldn't let her do this alone, he was scared that she'd be too stubborn, like back in the enchanted forest, where she didn't realize the door to Rumpelstiltskin's was enchanted and almost lost her hand. He joined them to the direction of Mr. Golds shop and Marian naturally followed.
Inside they heard loud noises. That person was definitely searching for something.
When they entered a blonde tall woman was going through drawers.
"Hey Lady, what are you looking for?" Regina was the one talking first.
The woman turned around and her bright blue eyes almost pierced them.
"None of your business! But if I don't find it then I'll make it your business!"
"Look we saw Rumpelstiltskin in the forest. You froze him! We don't know where his wife is. I assume you took her. So it' IS our business!" Regina tried to contain her anger.
"Tell us what you want. We might be able to help you! We aren't all bad as Rumpelstiltskin and he changed too " Mary Margaret decided that the person this woman knew probably was a whole different one. Everyone has changed so much the past three years.
"Get out of my WAY!" With that the blonde fired an Icicle to the direction of the group. Withing a second the floor was frozen in front of them.
"I don't think we can do that until you calm down!" Davids hand wandered to his sword just when the woman raised her hand again towards the direction of Marian who was standing on the side seeminhly confused over the things that were happening.
Regina didn't think. Her instincts just kicked in and just before the ice hit Marian she was standing in front of her trying to build a shield with her magic. The shield was working but the womans magic was quite powerful, so she was thrown to the side into a cupboard. The next ice-throw she couldn't save her love's wife. Marian only had time to scream "NO" before she froze just like Mr. Gold.
Everyone was looking at her in shock. Then turned to the ice queen. Before they could say anything she created a frozen wall in front of her and disappeared through the back door.
Emma and Hook ran out of the door to try to follow her while Snow helped Regina to her feet. She winced.
"Today is so NOT my day." Her arm hurt like hell. She was quite sure it was broken. The only thing she could think about now was Robin and the shock on his face. He again possibly lost his wife not through her hands but now this time she wasn't able to save her.
"You need to see a doctor for that!" Snow was really concerned.
"Yes... I know...!" Robin then looked up and saw Regina being hurt. Today wasn't his day either.
"Oh no you're hurt!" He walked up to her and tried to take a look at her arm.
"Hey, this doesn't matter right now okay! Listen, Roland needs his mother! Maybe the curse can be broken with true loves kiss! You should try! Meanwhile I'll go see a doctor... And my son." She whispered. This was the right thing to do and say but it still hurt deeply. She couldn't stay and see how her soulmate kisses his wife awake. Especially since it will prove that he still loves her. She couldn't blame him. She had to let go of Daniel only two years ago once again. And considering every bad thing that's happened in her life, that still was the hardest and worst thing she ever had to do.
When she walked outside Snow was immediately by her side. It was only her who could see the tears in Regina's eyes.
