Hey guys. So sorry for the late update but I had to have my haircut today and I've been trying to figure out how to end this chapter. I think I got it right now and I hope you guys like it. Please review!


Ruby

"Red you aren't going!"

"We'll kill the wolf!"

"True love is the most powerful magic of all."

"Where's Peter?"

"RED!"

"Granny?"

"He wasn't the wolf."

"The wedding is happening."

"You can't trust the Queen."

"I destroyed her happiness. And now she wants to destroy mine."

"Go. I'll hold them off."

"She's gone. No one's seen her for days."

"I'll find her. I'll always find her."

"I'm Ella."

"What's that?"

"Nothing."

"Red."

"It's a portrait of Peter."

"Where is he?"

"I…I accidentally…ate…him."

"Oh Red."

"Snow, your prince is still alive."

Listen to the voices Ruby! You need to listen! They are the people you care about most! Listen to them! Listen to me.

"Red wear your cloak!"

"Yes Granny."

Listen Ruby please! Don't fight them. They're my memories and your clues. I can't tell you everything but and can let you hear things. Please Ruby. Stop being cynical and listen to the voices of your friends, family and lost love.

"I love you Red."


Mary Margret

When I heard Granny, I immediately ran over to Ruby. I don't know why but I feel like I should. I feel like Ruby is closer to me than just a waitress.

"Come on Ruby!" I cried as the doctors wheeled her into David's room. Ruby wore a red hoodie, capris that Granny obviously rolled down and sneakers. Her black hair had her red highlights hidden.

"Ruby!" Ashley cried as the doctors stopped her. Everyone crowded around her, calling her name until Sean stepped in front of us.

"Stop." He said and scooted us back. He walked over to her, whispered something in her ear and backed away. A few minutes later, Ruby's eyes fluttered open.

"Ruby!" Granny cried out in joy and hugged her tightly. We all crowded around her until Ruby laughed,

"Back it up folks." I laughed as we all backed up.

"I'll be right back." Ashley said and ran out with Sean following minutes later.

She's ok Mary. Relax. Ruby will be alright.

I jumped at the voice. I'd never heard it before. What was it? The voice just replied vaguely.

I'm your inner voice. I'm trying to break out Mary. I need your help and you need mine because, like it or not, we are the exact same person with different personalities. We are one.


Ella

I ran out of the hospital and towards the east side of town. I need to go to the portrait shop. I needed to find the portrait of Peter Red painted so long ago. I ran to 'Genie Portraits' and looked around, confused. There were hundreds of paintings and I had no idea where to start.

"Need help?" a voice asked. I turned around and lost my breath. The girl in front of me was tan. Very tan, like she spent all her life in the sun. She wore a blue top, jeans and blue sandals. She also wore a jean jacket. Around her neck was gold colored necklace and she had matching earrings. She had very long black hair that fell past her waist in waves. She had emerald green eyes. I would know this girl anywhere. The girl was Princess Jasmine of Agrabah and a very close friend to Snow, Belle, Red and I. Back in the Enchanted Forest, The five of us were as tight as the forest until Belle disappeared and became known as the lost princess.

"Uh…I'm looking for a portrait." I swallowed. I hadn't seen Jas since she left to warn her people of the curse after Snow and James' wedding.

"Well, I'll have to ask my father for help on that. I always forget where the portraits are." Jas smiled at me and showed her pearl white teeth. Living in Agrabah didn't have a lot of advantages but being tan and having very white teeth was a plus. I noticed Jas' nametag said her name was Jade. "Papa!" Jade cried up a flight of stairs. I smiled. She still called her dad Papa. A round man came down the stairs. He wore a white long sleeved top, khakis and sneakers with a baseball cap. The Sultan always like beige.

"What is it Jade?" he asked then he saw me. "Oh a customer!" he cried, "I'm Robert, manager of 'Genie Portraits' and who are you?"

"I'm Ashley Boyd and I was just wondering, you're the owner too, right?" I had to know if the Sultan still owned anything. It was obvious the curse robbed him of his gold.

"Heavens, no!" the Sultan cried, "That would be Jarad."

Jarad. Only a couple letter change for Jafar. I thought and hoped Jafar didn't remember. My stepmother and stepsister didn't so that proved that the Queen made the ultimate sacrifice for the curse. She sacrificed the only person she truly loved.

"The portraits are over there Jade." Robert explained and walked off to dust.

"Papa likes keeping the place clean." Jas explained. The farther we were from the Sultan, the more relaxed she was. "Is this it?" she held up a portrait of a man with black hair and brown eyes. The difference between him and Peter was their facial features and the fact that this man's hair fell over his eyes while Peter's stood up. But I still recognized the man. It was Aladdin. I looked at all the portraits and realized they were all from the important moments in the Enchanted Forest history. There was King Leopold and his wife at their wedding, Red staring at the moon with her cloak on, Thomas and I dancing at the ball where we met, Jas hanging out with Snow, Belle, Red and I, there was even Hansel and Gretel with their father before they disappeared. Then, I saw it. Peter dressed in his fur and having his bow and arrows. I grabbed the painting and stared at it.

"This is it." I said. Jas smiled and took a deep breathe.

"On the house." she said.

"What?" I gasped.

"On the house. I don't know why but…I feel like I can trust you in ways nobody but you and-and Ruby and Mary Margret and someone else I haven't seen but I can picture her perfectly." I grabbed the portrait of the 5 of us.

"This girl?" I asked as I pointed to Belle.

"Yes!" Jas cried, "And there are the rest of us!"

"Weird." I shrugged. Jas looked at me and leaned in close.

"Can you keep a secret?" I nodded. She took off her jean jacket and revealed that her blue top was a tank top and around her arm…was a gold bracelet with a sapphire blue heart on it. I gasped.

"It's beautiful."

"I've never shown anybody because Papa doesn't like me showing off my shoulders. But I just can't take it off. If I do, I feel…incomplete."

"I know the feeling."

"Yeah."

"Hey Jade?" I called as she walked away, "How'd you like to hang out with Mary Margret, Ruby and me on Saturday?" Jas thought for a moment and nodded. I walked out of 'Genie Portraits' happy when Thomas grabbed me.

"Where've you been, Ash?" He used 'Sean's' nickname for me. I never answered him because two guys caught my eye. One had black hair that hung in his eyes and wore a white top and blue jeans. The other guy also had black hair and light brown eyes. He wore a blue shirt and jeans. I stared at them and them at me. There was no mistaking them. The men walking towards Thomas and me were Aladdin and Genie.


Ok guys so, I want to thank icings. Her story 'Freedom Love' is what inspired me to put 'inside voices' that are really the fairytale versions trying to break out and the more the curse weakens the more freedom they have and can communicate with the Storybrooke versions. So next time, Ella and Thomas re-meet Aladdin and Genie, Ruby and Mary Margret continue to hear Snow and Red in their minds and Jade has her POV on hanging out with Ella, Mary and Ruby. Also, Ella tries to figure out where Belle is. Please review and thanks for reading. Later.
