Mirra walked down to the main room. She wondered where her little daughter went off to, she suspected she was with her father, as usual…
It annoyed her how the Dark One always had her little Evelyn in his possession, but yet she never seen him more happy than ever. Well, it was now her turn, and he had to learn to share.
Ready for a light argue, she simply laughed once she saw the sight in front of her.
The proud papa and his treasured daughter fast asleep; him leaning up against the chaise with his "little Doll" curled into his chest sleeping softly. Unlike Rumpelstiltskin, Evelyn was very much like her mother when came to sleeping, she was easily awoken.
The baby opened her eyes looking at her mother, which made Mirra smile.
"My little doll, have you had a fun filled day with Papa?" Evelyn somehow managed to smile as Mirra carefully picked her up off his chest.
"Erm…Dearie, what are you doing? I want her with me…" Mirra rolled her eyes as she looked down at her sleep talking husband.
"Youv'e had her all day. I did give birth to her, technically she is more mine then yours…" With his eyes still closed, his brows all scrunched. He hated arguing with her, she was to witty sometimes.
"Anyhow, you're tired my love…get some sleep. Ever since she's been born you could never sleep. Relax…alright?"
Still holding her baby, Mirra crouched down the give him a affectionate touch on his arm.
"Well, if you say so. I just love her too much, I can't help it being so selfish…" he said as he drifted off to sleep. Mirra laughed at his odd endearing explanation before she began to hold Evelyn close to her chest.
"I'm going out for a walk, I will be back in a hour. Alright Rumpelstiltskin…"
"RUMPELSTILTSKIN!" He shook alittle from behind startled then smiled.
"Yes, yes, dearie, be back soon, I have a good stew planned for us." Mirra laughed as she walked away.
"Oh husband, you tell me that nearly every night…you don't have to persuade me there good." She then laughed as she stood out of the castle with Evelyn in her arms.
After a half hour of walking, she emerged off their territory and into the outskirts of the enchanted forest. She found it nice to get out. As much as she loved being with him, she needed some peace and quiet sometimes, especially with her new little daughter. Lately the last few months, he seemed to take the baby whenever he could.
Once she reached an open meadow, Mirra rocked Evelyn in her grasp. She simply stood there looking up at the clouds and enjoying the warm breeze.
"Oh my…what a beautiful baby you have…" Mirra turned around to see the owner of the voice.
A beautiful woman with piercing blue eyes, red lips, cascading curls with the color of a light cream cladded in a golden dress looked back at her.
Mirra simply smiled.
"Well, thank you Madame." The stranger came closer.
"Enjoying the beautiful weather, yes?" Mirra adjusted her hold on Evelyn to a more comfortable position.
"Yes, I needed to get out. What about you," Mirra asked.
"Oh, yes, needed to get out. It gets lonely in that castle of mine, ever since my husband passed."
"I am sorry Madame…by the way, what is your name? I'm Mirra." The woman gave her a quick curtsy.
"I am Meridon. A sorceress to the queen." Mirra did her best not to give the woman a reaction. She knew of her husband's "opinions" of the queen. But she assumed this kind sorceress didn't know of Mirra's association to him as well.
The two began to walk.
"So my dear, have you met the Queen?"
"Oh, no, I haven't, I have been a peasant most of my life. I recently married, been busy with my new marriage and what not…but I hear good things about her," Mirra lied. Meridon put on a satisfied expression.
"Yes, it's agreed then, she makes a great ruler," Meridon confirmed. The sorceress looked down at Evelyn as her big dark eyes looked into her's.
"How old is she? What is her name? Such a beauty she is…and those curls…so darling," Meridon said.
"Oh, she is almost 4 months old, her name is Evelyn Bae, and she gets her curls from her father. I'm glad she has them, I love curls," Mirra giggled. Meridon quickly glanced at Mirra.
"Well, you appear to be so happy and in love, I take it your marriage is successful my dear?" Mirra blushed as she smiled with a twinkle in her eye.
"Yes, he started out as my savior. I had a horrid life when I met him, then…it appeared to be love at first sight. I couldn't ask for a better life, or better others in it." Meridon smiled.
"That is so touching," Meridon replied before going back to observing Evelyn.
"Hey eyes are so dark, yet so enchanting. I take it it's from you husband as well?"
"Yes, his eyes are such a beautiful dark shade of brown, sometimes gold in the light. She is quite the mixture of us. Thank you as well! Oh…would you like to hold her?" Meridon smiled as she held her arms out.
"Oh, I would be honored to hold such a treasure!" Mirra smiled as she set Evelyn in her arms. Evelyn simply looked up at the elder woman without an expression as her new friend looked down at her baby.
"It's such a shame…you're so young and beautiful my dear Mirra…"
"I'm sorry? Didn't quite catch that," she asked. Meridon bounced the baby softly.
"Oh, I meant, it's such a shame, you're so young and beautiful, happy with life and your family…such a shame." Mirra grew frigid, feeling this wasn't going in a good direction. Meridon continued as she ripped her gaze from the girl to her mother.
"I was hoping this would be easy, but you're too much of a sweetheart, I do have a soft spot for kind mothers. I once had a daughter, she reminds me a lot of you. Even your hair, hers was dark like her fathers. Such a shame you're so young…to have everything taken away."
"What?" Mirra grew panicked as she stepped towards Meridon to take back Evelyn. Meridon stepped back as she clutched Evelyn tighter in her grasp.
"It's such a shame what I have to do, but the Queen needs it to be done. The child, your daughter, may carry on her father's legacy of power…she could be a threat to the queen. We can't allow that my dear."
This time Mirra darted at her. "Give her back to me! Please! She is only a baby, what harm could she do!" Meridon marched backwards even faster as Mirra continued to follow.
"She's my little girl! Please…don't take her! She is my little baby! She is just a baby…give her to me…NOW!" Meridon stepped to the side nearly making Mirra stumble in her boots.
Mirra did her best to run after the sorceress. About to twist her ring twice to let Rumpelstiltskin know of her distress, she felt strong masculine arms grab her.
Meridon now turned around holding a crying Evelyn.
"GIVE HER BACK! SHE"S MY DAUGHTER! SHE IS HARMLESS! PLEASE!" Tears ran down Mirra's beautiful near porcelain hued skin.
"I LOVE HER! GIVE HER BACK! PLEASE! I Will DO ANYTHING!"
"Oh…you seem so eager to please…why now Mirra!" She turned around and felt panic. That voice…she's heard it before. As she looked over her shoulder, she saw him…it was Felix. That's when she knew she was in big trouble.
"NOOOOO! GIVE HER BACK! SHE IS MINE!" Mirra screamed until her throat went hoarse, struggling out of his grasp with no success. He was to strong. Considering the hold he had on her, she couldn't get to her ring.
Meridon laughed as she watched the young lovely sorrow and miserable mother thrash about in Felixes grip.
"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! LET US GO! GIVE HER TO ME! NOOOWWW! DON'T HURT HER! SHE IS MY BABY!" Mirra became to scream so loud it over beard Evelyn's cries.
"Oh, don't worry Mirra, I have plan's for her…" Meridon stated. She turned the baby around.
"Now little Evelyn, take a look at your mother…this is your good-bye…"
"HOW Could you do this! You are a mother yourself!" Mirra sobbed and struggled. Meridon simply laughed victoriously. With a flick of her hand, she cast a paralyzing spell on Mirra. Felix let go of her and smiled as she sunk to the ground landing roughly on her side.
Mirra knew she couldn't move. She looked up at Felix as he took a dark crystal in his gloved hand aiming it in a sling shot. She looked over at Evelyn being carried off in Meridon's arms.
Meridon was right, it was a shame everything was slipping away from the young mother.
After the two left…the paralyzing spell was finally over. With what strength she had left, she twirled her ring around her finger before laying on her back heaving dry sobs.
