Chapter Ten: Frozen Is Coming
Weeks had passed since Thanksgiving. Everything was in balance. The people of Storybrooke became very accepting of Killian's and David's relationship.
Meanwhile on the out skirts of town in Zelena's barn there was some strange activity going on. Buried under a thin layer of dirt an urn began to show its self. The lid of the urn started to shake and burst open. A blue liquid emerged from the urn seeping out and filling in the carvings of Zelena's time circle. Once the liquid completely covered the design it began to move towards the center and formed a figure. in the dim light one could see the shape was a woman in a sky blue dress. She took off one of her blue gloves and destroyed the urn with ice magic, and she walked out of the barn.
The next morning Hook and Charming were awakened by Grumpy's pounding on the door of their new apartment. They gotten up quickly to answer the door neither stopping to get dressed.
"What the hell is going on ?!", asked Charming as he flung the door open revealing himself to the insistent visitor
"Danger!", screamed Grumpy. with wide wild eyes. Eyes that became impossibly wide as he realised that Charming was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers that threatened a view of something else if they were only a hair shorter.
"You're going to elaborate mate?" said Hook as he sauntered up behind charming wearing nothing but an expectant look.
"Last night I was driving home and I almost ran into a woman luckily she stopped me!" The dwarf sputtered. still in a bit of shock over his current view
"How?" asked Hook following Grumpy's line of sight and smirking just a bit as he moved his hip to set the "display" in motion.
"Ice magic! and for the love of god could you two put some clothes on" Grumpy spat out with an exasperated sigh and a shake of his head.
Charming and Hook look at each other and begin laughing at the situation "Well that will teach you to come pounding on our door at this hour won't it mate" Hook said as he grabbed Davids hand and pulled him towards the bedroom. "We'll be right back Grumpy come in and have a seat and we can go into more details once we dress."
A little while later they were finishing up with the dwarf's story "Well I don't think there's any danger maybe she's scared and confused. We'll go find her" David says as he puts a comforting hand on Grumpy's shoulder.
So Killian and Charming went off to go investigate the rumor of a mysterious blonde woman with ice magic. On the other side of town the mysterious woman was roaming through the streets with so much fear and panic that she was leaving a trail of ice. She didn't know what to make of all the strange things in this land especially the large fast-moving metal beasts that roamed the black rock paths that crossed the entire area. She decided to try to take refuge in what looked to be an abandoned building hoping that given sometime she could try to make some sense of this strange place.
Not long after Charming and Killian arrived near a warehouse where the new resident was hiding "Where the hell can she be?" said Charming scratching his head in confusion.
"Well there is an ice trail leading to that door." said Hook sarcastically
"Smart ass" said Charming with a smile. Hook just winked at him in reply
Charming and Hook enter the abandoned warehouse. Seeing them come in the mysterious woman runs hide behind some old metal drums and waits. Charming enters holding his gun in the air "Hey, we know you're in here and we just want to talk to you, come out into the open with your hands up so we know your unarmed."
The scared and confused woman has no idea what to do. No words can come out of her mouth. The only thing she can think of is a distraction. She starts make snow appear in the middle of the room. The snow begins to form a large drift then takes shape into an ice monster.
"Well that's a new one.", said Killian. The snow monster looks at them and roars at them making Hook and David fall on their backs. Once they got up the monster had already gone outside on a rampage. Killian and David run after it, leaving the mysterious woman to escape.
The snow monster lurched down main street destroying cars, buildings, power lines even the street it's self. The monster had left the citizens screaming in terror.
"Monster!" one of the citizens cried out Hiding between two buildings "I bet that thing is thirty feet tall said another as they ducked into a nearby shop" the mysterious woman began to feel very bad. She didn't know how to control her powers in this new land her magic didn't work the same way as it did back home.
"What have I done?" said the woman with guilt as she buried her face in her hands.
While running after the monster Hook and David run into Emma. "We need to take this monster out" said David
"How" said Emma
"You're magic. Use your magic" said Hook
"Ok" said Emma unsure. Emma closed her eyes and held her hands up, flames shot out of her hands and melted the snow monster.
"Great job Emma" said David giving his daughter a proud look.
"Thanks. Now who did that?" Emma asks
"I don't know but next time we'll be ready" said Hook
