"Temple of the Forbidden Eye? Really?" Cora mumbled as they approached the Indiana Jones ride. "Why can't they name it 'Temple of the Forbidden Treasure'? Huh? Or do they just have a thing for eyes?"
"Maybe it's supposed to sound creepy," Hook suggested. Cora sighed.
"Nothing is scarier than Mary Margaret high on rainbows and singing animatronic birds," she quipped.
"Good point, luv," Hook murmured.
"This is scary," Henry commented as the group approached a narrow tunnel with rocky walls.
"You mean slightly intimidating," Gold said smugly. Charming narrowed his eyes but he was actually too scared to say anything.
"They put railings up here," Henry pointed out quietly. "Doesn't that defeat the purpose?"
"I don't like this," Belle commented quietly as they walked past a bunch of iron spikes on the wall with skulls impaled on the end of a couple. Suddenly, they began to close in closer to each other, before being pushed back up. Luckily, it appeared that someone had put a piece of bamboo in between the spikes so that it could no longer close. However, the bamboo was shaking furiously.
"SH*T!" Cora yelled, jumping back, before crowding in closer to the device. "How does that operate?" she wondered, inspecting the bars.
"Mother," Regina warned.
"I wonder if I can use it on Belle," Cora mumbled. Of course, at this point, Belle seemed not to listen, but quite suddenly, she jumped up and screamed at realization of what Cora had been talking about.
"Delayed reaction," Emma mumbled.
"No, Mother, no killing or I swear I will kill you," Regina threatened.
"You mean that a matricide is bound to occur," Gold said with a smirk.
"Wmm," Charming whimpered.
"Can I install one of these in the mansion?" Cora wondered, still staring at the device. Regina and her had fallen behind.
"No, Mother," she said sternly.
"But I want one," Cora whined.
"No, Mother," Regina repeated. "Now let's go, we don't want to fall behind. Plus you're holding up the line." Cora looked behind her to see a little boy with a balloon in his hand, his mouth wide open. He had obviously heard the conversation.
"Hello, little boy," Cora said sweetly. "If you tell anyone about this, your head will be impaled on one of those spikes by tomorrow morning," she continued, her smile fading.
"MOM!" Regina yelled, grabbing the woman by the arm and dragging her towards Emma and the rest of the group.
"Where are we now?" Cora wondered.
"We're still in line," Regina mumbled as they passed through more tunnels.
"Wow, it's a long line area," Cora commented duly.
"Yeah, it's a popular ride, luckily we're here early so we should be good," Emma said happily.
"Oh no!" Henry exclaimed as they approached the end of the line. "There's a line?"
"Like I said, it's a popular ride."
"I'm bored," Snow groaned, taking out her iPhone and tapping on it.
"Hey, Gramma, I'm bored too. Can I show you something?" Snow nodded and handed the boy her phone. He opened an app titled SoundEffects with a blue play button displayed in the middle.
"Huh, I didn't know I had that app," Snow commented.
"Yeah, I downloaded it before the trip," Henry said happily.
"What does it do?" Snow wondered. Henry pressed a button and the phone honked. Charming and Snow both jumped but everyone else simply rolled their eyes.
"Wow! How does it do that?" Snow wondered. Henry giggled.
"Just press the button and see what it does,"he said, handing her phone back.
"Look, an instructive," Emma said, pointing towards the screen in the room they had just approached.
"Now my friends, one final word," the tv spoke. "Once you are in the Chamber of Destiny, look not into the eyes of the ****. That would be dangerous." The screen showed a woman sitting in her seat one moment, then changed to a picture of a skeleton sitting in that same spot.
"What did he say?" Cora cried after the man faded away from the screen.
"Basically, if we look into the eyes of something, we die," Henry said bluntly.
"Okay, is that it? That isn't so- HOLY SH*T YOU MEAN WE COULD DIE?!" Cora screamed.
"Pretty much," Emma said happily.
"Look, the loading area," Henry said.
"I don't wanna die! I'm not coming on the ride," Cora whined.
"I'll sic the Swan Queen shippers on you and tell them you ship Evil Charming," Regina threatened. Cora paled.
"Never mind, I'm coming."
As a voice spoke and warned them to stay in the cart at all times, Cora realized it was same as the one that had reminded them not to look into the eyes of the ****.
"Look," Hook said, pointing up towards an archway with a stone face etched onto its surface. "It has a blindfold over its eyes."
"Is that a warning?" Emma wondered.
"Look at all those people riding towards their doom," Cora said happily, pointing towards another cart to the left of them. As if on cue, their cart began to move in the same direction. She paused.
"OH SH*T WE'RE GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION!" she screamed.
"Oh, hello, hello my friends? The brakes may be needing adjustment, but easy on the curves. Heh heh," the same man from before spoke.
"SCREW YOU AND YOUR SH*TTY SUGGESTIONS!" Cora screamed. "I CAN'T BELIEVE- wait. The brakes are screwed up? THE BRAKES ARE SCREWED UP!" she screamed as they approached a three-way fork in the road.
"You seek the treasure of Mara," a deep overhead voice spoke. "Glittering gold. It is yours."
"At what cost?" Regina wondered as the doors creaked open and showed them into a huge room.
"There's no place like home," Cora was whispering. "There's no place like home."
So I just watched the season finale and I think I'm about to die. IT CAN'T BE OVER! NO! WHO IS PETER PAN? WHY IS HE SO FREAKING CREEPY?
Yeh, that's about it. But please R&R for this chapter anyway, and happy finale morning! Cheers!
Who do you think Peter Pan is?
