Please consider leaving a review. Feedback is much appreciated.

Also, feel free to follow me on Tumblr lilacmoon83. In an effort to grow my Snowing fanfiction blog on Tumblr and get more visibility for my writing, I invite anyone following my stories here on to follow me on Tumblr. I have a sizable following here on , but that hasn't really transferred over to Tumblr. I've been considering doing face claims for all original characters in this story too. So if you're interested, give me a follow on Tumblr and help my stories get a bit more visibility through reblogs and shares!

For one face claim reveal, I will tell that I chose Gal Gadot as the face claim for Persephone...cause she's perfect as Persephone!

Thanks for awesome the reviews. Here are individual responses:

Barratta Jennifer: No, they didn't on Emma's bed. If you read back to that scene, they went down to their bed first and pulled the curtain around the bed. :)

Saberius Prime: Yep, Zelena is sneaky. Thanks! Glad you liked it! Yep, Snow and Charming getting busy...but yeah that birth control is basically useless now. Yeah, I knew since Snow and Charming are close to Rumple here that she couldn't risk using the name Zelena, plus Persephone knows who she is thanks to her dalliance with Hades. So I decided why not just use Kelly West? It fits. I did watch the finale. I liked it and I cried, lol. :)

BooksinmyDreams: Thanks! Glad you liked it so much!

AshGreg: Yep, it's getting exciting with all these villains traipsing about. It's going to get dicey. Glad you're enjoying!

Paulaa90: Yes, it will be very interesting on how this is all going to play out. Let's just say, there will be elements of season 2/3 and onward, but things are going to be vastly different from canon in many ways. You're right, there's so many villains that their plans might collide and clash. I know, Snow and Charming are so cute and sexy together. As for baby Snowflake...let's just say he'll be making his grand entrance much earlier and much unexpected. His name is undecided as of yet though. :)

Number Ten: Yep, lots of villains lurking about. Yes, Moe hired Smee to nab Belle in the canon. Glad you liked the chapter. No, Zelena did not drug Snow's drink. She didn't need to. Snow was heavily pregnant once they cast the curse and ended up back in Storybrooke. Snow and David were actually trying to have a baby after 3x11 happened and they were separated from Emma. Here Snow is still on birth control so Zelena is scheming to change that.

Jrocks: I actually liked the finale a lot. I guess you came to vent about season 7, which is fine. But maybe you could actually review the content of my story? Glad you're reading anyway. Thanks

Sara K M: Yes, I agree that George is the absolute worst and proves that villains without magic can be just as dangerous. Thanks, glad to know that it was conveyed well. He is totally a school yard bully. I kind of see Midas that way in a sense. We didn't see much of him, but we know he is the type that gets others to fight his battles. I mean he can turn things to gold, but won't risk his own skin to take care of the dragon that ended up killing James. I know Snow usually jumps into the fray and is very impatient. Part of the reason she didn't here though is that she is still struggling with her inner fears that she's not cut out to lead, among other things. It does sound like Charming here, but I like to think there is a lot of unspoken communication with them. There definitely will be a discussion about it down the road though.

Beth1980: Yeah, Leroy always has that comedic timing. Yep, George forgets that, but he plays dirty and goes for the jugular. But if a Goddess approves of David, then who cares what George thinks, lol. They do need a lecture on loyalty. I have a lot of issues with Blue and Geppetto. Yep, Kelly is Zelena. Yeah, I think Regina just doesn't want to accept that Henry has family other than her now. Glad you liked the magic discussion and using Emma's blood. I think it makes more sense. I liked that Snowing just got to be grandparents. And what can I say? I can't help myself when it comes to Snowing. I just know he wore the holster for her in bed. It's canon as far as I'm concerned, lol. Yeah, there isn't a good marriage anywhere in my family. In the first scene, we knew Snowing was endgame and I was hooked. They are like no relationship we've ever really seen on TV. And I've had two bad step-mothers so I just could never really like Regina much. It's just not in me. I came to like her a bit in later seasons, especially 7, but yeah early on, I full on hated her. You're welcome on the insight. :)

Izzypirelli: Glad you like the friendships! I really wanted sheep bros as you can tell. And I really wanted a SnowBeauty friendship too, so it's happening here. Like people always pit Rumbelle against Snowing. And I think it's just so much more interesting if they're two power couples working together and be badasses, but that's just me. I really like the canon scene where Leroy questions his name. I wanted to keep it, but I kind of had to throw it in early here with what happened. It was a very crude insult and it shocked Snow at first. But don't worry, she'll have a retort for him later that she very much likes making tacos and all that shepherd lovin', lol. Yes, Persephone approves of Charming and now everyone knows it. And I love Granny too. So blunt and unapologetic.

Yes, a second baby Snowflake is going to be very interesting. Yes, I think Regina just doesn't want to be reminded that she is not Henry's only family anymore. They haven't drank the potion yet...but yeah they're going to want to soon, especially for what's in store. Yeah, I don't know why they backpedaled in the canon with the wardrobe. Emma was in mortal danger and I don't know why they tried to erase that later. Flirty Snowing is my favorite too. Ha, it's funny you mention the handcuffs. I kind of have a funny scene in mind later on down the road where I allude to the handcuffs definitely not being where they should be, lol :) Glad you're enjoying so much!

Dreaming Out Loud

Chapter 47: Once Upon a Dream

The Dreamscape

Snow and David eventually appeared in the dreamscape that night, hand in hand. They hadn't quite meant to stay up as late as they had, but their need and passion had kept them quite busy. For them, being awake now was like a bit of a reawakening too. They had been together in the dreamscape for twenty-eight years, but now that they were both awake, they were rediscovering just how powerful their love was. If anything, being together all these years, but not in many ways, had made their love more deeply rooted than they ever imagined possible. And naturally, this only made their need for intimacy greater and more pronounced.

They were aware of the looks and scrutiny this could garner from others. They could still see that their public expression of affection was still frowned upon a times, especially by nobles from the older generation. But it had never and would never stop them from being who they were and that was Snow and Charming, two people so deeply in love that it was incomprehensible to most, even to some of their friends.

For Emma, though she could definitely do without quite so much affectionate display, her parents also gave her hope. Growing up in the foster homes she had, she had seen the worst examples of relationships. Couples that fought and that were verbally and even physically abusive to each other. It was enough to make one doubt the existence of love at all. In fact, without having her parents in her dreams, Emma was sure that her time in foster care would have made her not only doubt the existence of true love, but would have convinced her that love was life's greatest lie.

But what was between her parents was no lie. It had always given Emma hope and that had truly made all the difference in her young life, in the best times and even in the worst times.

28 Years Ago

One Day After the Curse Was Cast

"I still don't know how this is possible...but I'm so happy. Even though I know we're cursed...we still have this. Whatever this is," Snow gushed. She had appeared just a few moments ago in this place for only the second time. Charming had not left this place, for it appeared that he was in some sort of sleeping curse if the images in the looking glass were anything to go by. Snow took heart though, for he was alive and always here when their baby slept periodically during what Snow knew must be day time hours, judging by the sporadic times Charming said that Emma appeared to him.

"I know, my darling. This place is a blessing. I thought it would be twenty-eight years before I'd hold you or Emma again," he agreed, as he pressed a kiss to her hair and then to Emma's head. Their daughter started to fuss and whimper, as Snow gently rocked.

"What's the matter sweetheart?" she cooed, as she suddenly felt an unusual sensation in her chest. She gasped when she realized exactly what it was.

"What's wrong?" he asked in concern.

"Nothing...I just don't know how it's possible," she replied, looking at him. He was still confused.

"Charming...I think I can nurse her," she realized, as she started to shrug the strap of the airy, sleeveless white dress she was wearing. She put her baby to her breast and she immediately latched, as she nursed hungrily. Tears gathered in Snow's eyes and slipped down her cheeks.

"I don't know how this is even possible...but the moment she came early, I thought this was lost to me," she sobbed.

"Oh Snow…" he soothed, as he stroked a soothing hand on her back.

"It's a miracle...isn't it? It has to be," she said, with hope in her voice. He smiled and kissed her tenderly.

"It is...Emma is a miracle. I think...I think this place gives her whatever she needs," he surmised. Snow frowned.

"Which makes me wonder what she's not getting out there," she worried. He hadn't said it, but he shared her fears.

"Charming...what if someone isn't taking care of our baby the way she needs? What if she's going hungry?" she asked, as Emma started to whimper, sensing her mother's unease. But he put a soft hand on the small of Snow's back and a gentle hand on Emma's tiny head.

"No, no, let's not go there...she's here with us to take care of, at least part of the time. She will know us, Snow. No matter what she must endure when she is awake, she will come to us when she sleeps. It's not everything, but it can be enough," he assured. She eased at his words. He was right, of course. It could have been much worse and their baby could be alone, never to know them at all. They both wanted more with her, but they would make this be enough for now.

Charming pressed another kiss to her hair and watched their daughter nurse with an awestruck expression, like they were the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. And to him, they were and always would be.

Twenty-two Years Ago

"Daddy...that tickles!" Emma giggled, as her father chased her around the meadow and then proceeded to tickle her once he caught her.

"It does? I guess I'm doing it right then," Charming teased, as he tickled her more. They looked up at that point and saw Snow in the near distance, hurrying to them.

"Mommy!" Emma called, as her father let her down and she ran to her. Snow hugged her baby fiercely and never wanted to let go, even though she knew she would have to in just a few short hours. Charming joined them and Emma felt their love for her and each other just in their eyes. Normally, she thought adults kissing was really gross, but she didn't mind it so much with her Mommy and Daddy, even though they did it A LOT. They loved each other the way Mommies and Daddies were supposed to and promised to. And Emma's parents were the only adults that Emma had ever seen not break that promise.

Thirteen Years Ago

"I hate you both! Everything that is wrong with my life is because of you two!" a teenaged Emma screamed at them.

"Emma…" Snow cried, as she reached out to her. But their daughter pulled away and stormed out to the meadow.

"I'm going to find a way to not come to this stupid place when I sleep! Then I'll never have to see you two again!" she added, before storming out. Snow collapsed into gut wrenching sobs in his arms, as he held her and cried with her too.

"It's going to be okay...I promise," Charming tried to soothe.

"How? How is it ever going to be okay, Charming?" Snow sobbed.

"Our little girl is suffering!" she cried.

"There are people abusing our baby and there is nothing we can do about it! And all because I made the decision to send her through the wardrobe!" Snow screamed.

"We had no choice...she would have been cursed or killed if we hadn't," he reminded. But she shook her head and turned away.

"I want to hurt them too, Snow. I can barely contain my rage that there is someone out there that abused our little girl," he said, choking on the words through his own anger and tears. She turned back to him and saw that he was in as much pain as she was.

"I feel so helpless...it's not supposed to be this way. This was supposed to be her best chance," Snow sobbed, as he held her flush against his chest.

"I know...and I know it doesn't seem like it was that at all right now. But it will get better and she will find us," he promised.

"You don't know that...she doesn't want anything to do with us. She hates us and I don't blame her," Snow cried. He kissed her hair.

"She doesn't mean those things, my darling," he promised.

"I wish I could believe that," she answered dejectedly.

Ten Years Ago

Snow and Charming's hearts ached, as their daughter was nearly catatonic.

"I couldn't even look at him...it was just too painful," Emma sniffed.

"Oh baby...I'm so sorry," Snow cried, as she stroked her long blonde locks, as she rested her head on Snow's shoulder.

"It's better...I'm not what he needs," she muttered.

"That's not true...you'd be a wonderful mother," David assured. If only they were there with her. She wouldn't have had to give him up. They would gladly have taken him until she was released from prison. It was just another instance in a long line of hardships Emma had endured that they couldn't protect her from. All thanks to this horrible curse that had wrecked their family.

"I'm gonna find you...I know I said I wasn't looking anymore when I was with Neal, but I'm going to again when I get out of prison," Emma said tearfully, as she looked at them.

"I was so cruel to you...I pushed you away and told you I didn't need you," she sobbed.

"Oh sweetheart...we know you didn't mean those things," Snow soothed.

"How? I said such awful things to you both. I even wished you both dead," she cried.

"Emma...we've already forgiven you, because we love you. Nothing you ever do is going to change that," David promised.

"Daddy's right sweetie...and when you do find us, we're going to do our best to make up for everything you had to go through because of the curse," Snow promised.

"I know we never can, but we're going to get our chance to be a family," she added. Emma sniffed.

"What if I can never find you though?" Emma lamented.

"You will...we have faith," David promised.

"But why? I've done nothing but completely screw up my life up to now," she argued.

"Oh sweetheart, we all make mistakes. When I was around your age, my father died and I had to run, because I was accused of his murder," she reminded.

"But you didn't murder him. I did steal stuff," she muttered.

"I stole too...to survive, just like you. It's how I met your father, remember?" she asked and they shared a smile.

"But even after that, I kept running away. I told myself that I was just a lost girl with no home and I'd never have one again," Snow added, as she reached her for husband's hand.

"But then I realized eventually that I had found a home...it just wasn't a place. Your father risked his life to help me remember who I was and refused to let me do anything that would darken my heart," Snow reminded.

"But then you and Daddy were separated again when King George captured him," Emma muttered. Snow smiled.

"We were, but I still knew we'd be together somehow, despite stalled executions and poison apples. And that's how I know that you'll find us," David added.

"He's right...I know you feel like a lost girl right now, but you will find us and then we're going to change that for you," Snow promised.

"I love you guys…" Emma cried, as they hugged her between them.

"We love you too, baby," Snow soothed, as David cradled her head and they shared a sad, yet hopeful gaze that everything they promised her would come to pass.

Present Day

"We'll find a way to get to him," David promised, as he started toward the barrier, again to keep searching for a way in.

"Actually...I think I might be able to get in," Emma mentioned, as they looked at her and noticed that for the first time in the dreamscape that her hands were glowing with magic.

"Emma...your magic," Snow uttered in awe.

"Do you think it will work?" she asked with uncertainty. Snow and Charming beamed at her, as they hugged her close.

"Of course it will...you are a product of true love," he reminded.

"And if anyone can save Henry, it's you, sweetheart," Snow added, as they stepped back and joined hands. Emma felt the magic leave her fingertips and they watched it collide with the barrier. It took several tries, but finally there was a burst of energy and wall cutting them off from Henry disappeared.

"Henry!" she called, as she ran to get him. Snow and Charming followed, as she dodged into the flames and picked him up, before hurrying away from the fire. Without the confines of the cursed room though, the flames died and Henry looked up at her in awe.

"Mom?" he asked, as he looked around.

"Grams? Gramps?" he asked. They smiled, as they gathered around her to hug him.

"Yeah kid, you're safe now," Emma promised.

"You did it...you saved me again, Mom," he said, as he hugged her tightly. A tear slipped down Emma's cheek, as she shared a smile with her parents. Hope and faith, once again, had not let them down.

The next morning began as any other in Storybrooke, post curse. People were still very much trying to find themselves and reunite with loved ones. They were also trying to figure out their lives and what was next. It didn't make for a lot of business at the library yet, but Belle didn't mind. She still had a lot of work to do and knew business would eventually pick up when people felt more settled. After all, it was still just sinking in that Storybrooke would be their permanent home now, for going back wasn't really an option. Rumple had no desire to go back without his son and Belle had little interest in it as well.

Her morning would be spent stocking many new books she had ordered. Snow had introduced her to the wonders of the Internet and she was absolutely ecstatic to receive her order. She wasn't even sure how the mail service found Storybrooke, considering they supposedly didn't exist on any map, nor was the supposed zip code even registered. Rumple explained that it was all the magic of the curse, both simple and extremely complex in many ways.

Stocking the new inventory wouldn't take all day, but Snow was coming by in the afternoon and they were going to put up posters for her campaign together. Until then, she was content to work on getting the library ready. But to her surprise, she heard the library door open and looked to see if she had a customer, only to find no one there.

"Hello?" she called.

But Belle received no reply and it was eerily quiet. Someone was definitely there though, as she could feel the hairs standing up on the back of her neck. She swallowed thickly.

"Hello?" she called again and that's when she felt someone grab her from behind. She cried out and kicked the man with the spike of one of her heels in the shin. He grunted in pain, as she tore away from him. She looked back to see that a portly man in a dirty red stocking cap was her would be assailant. He started toward her and she pushed the book cart toward him. He evaded it and it crashed into the desk, tumbling over and dumping the contents onto the floor, as she ran toward the door. But he moved quickly for his size and caught up with her. The cloth in his hand went over her mouth and she instantly felt woozy from the chloroform soaked rag. She lost consciousness and Smee managed to drag her out back to his van, leaving the mess and sign of struggle behind…

What started out as a quiet day at the station for David and Emma after a routine morning patrol quickly changed when they got a call from the Rabbit Hole. Apparently well known troublemaker, Keith, also known as the former Sheriff of Nottingham, got into a fight. And now there was an all out bar brawl happening.

David and Emma arrived quickly and hurried into the establishment, just in time to see Leroy get tossed into a table. The angry dwarf clenched his fists and ran back into the mass of fighting men. The floor was littered with broken glass and most of the table and chairs were in pieces.

David shook his head in annoyance and then brandished his sword, as he jumped into the fray. He quickly split them down the middle and held his sword out to get them to stop brawling. Keith decided to move forward at that point to challenge David when he heard a click. He turned to find Emma holding her gun on him.

"Don't even think about it," she warned, as she took out her cuffs and cuffed him first.

"I'm assuming he's the one that started it?" David asked the bartender. The man nodded.

"Though your friend here didn't help," the bartender added, as he nodded to Leroy. David gave him an annoyed look.

"He called me short," he griped.

"Seriously?" Emma complained with an eye roll.

"You know better, Leroy. You're supposed to be representing the Sheriff's department, even off duty," David chided.

"I don't need a lecture, handsome," the gruff dwarf snapped.

"To be fair...you are short," Happy added.

"Shut it Happy," Leroy growled back.

"This jerk started the fight when he accused me of cheating, which I didn't!" another patron called, pointing his finger at the belligerent man.

"You did cheat, you little worm," Keith hissed.

"All right, that's enough. You're under arrest," Emma snapped, as they hauled him out to the patrol car. As David shoved him in the back, his phone rang and he answered it.

"Hey…" he said, noticing it was Snow.

"David...I think something's happened to Belle," Snow cried and he frowned.

"Okay...slow down and tell me what happened," he said.

"I don't know…I got to the library and it's a mess. It looks like there was a struggle and she isn't here," Snow said worriedly.

"Okay...stay calm. We're on our way," David promised, as he hung up the phone.

"Leroy, can you and Happy take Keith back to the station and book him or did you drink too much?" David asked. Leroy opened his mouth to come back with a saucy retort, but Happy put his hands up.

"I didn't drink anything...we got this," he assured.

"What's going on?" Emma asked.

"Your mother went to meet Belle at the library, but she's gone. And it looks like there was a struggle," David replied.

"Crap...you better call Gold. He's gonna lose his mind," Emma warned, as they hurried off on foot for the library, which was just a short jog away.

Killian Jones, also known as the infamous Captain Hook, so far found Storybrooke to be...strange from what little he had observed so far. But one thing that seemed the same between worlds was there were always taverns to serve people alcoholic beverages. Naturally, it had not taken him long to find one such establishment and he had to admit the rum was very decent, if not a bit weaker than what he was used to.

It also seemed that another thing that had not changed was the occasional brawl that often happened between patrons in such establishments.

For once, he had not started or instigated anything and was simply a bystander. Cora had warned him to lay low and remain inconspicuous, though his clothing certainly made him stand out. But he was no stranger to observing to gather intel. So when two people, a man and a woman, burst into the bar sporting star-like badges on their respective hips, he was intrigued to say the least.

Cora had no idea what the supposed Savior looked like, but she had described to him the physical appearance of her parents and the likelihood that she would be in accompaniment of one of them. So when the blonde, well built man pulled the belligerent man responsible for the brawl off another patron, he was certain that this man was the illustrious Prince Charming that had been described to him. And though they looked to be the same age, he could see resemblance between him and the female blonde, leading him to conclude that this beautiful woman was the Savior. He was intrigued to say the least. So far, for such a supposed small town, Storybrooke was definitely interesting and he had a feeling it was about to get even more so…

The worry on Snow's face was palpable, as they burst into the library just a few minutes after her call. She rushed to them both in relief and David hugged her close.

"It's okay...we're going to find her," he assured, as Gold hobbled through the entrance with Persephone and Jefferson following.

Emma knelt down and looked around the toppled book cart.

"Whoever did this is going to wish they were never born," Gold hissed.

"We'll find her," David repeated, as Emma stood up holding a dirty red stocking cap.

"Well...this definitely isn't Belle's," the blonde said.

"Any idea who this might belong to?" she asked. Gold clenched his teeth and snatched the hat from her.

"Oh I know exactly who this belongs to...a rat. A soon to be dead rat!" the Dark One hissed.

"Care to share who this rat is?" David asked.

"His name is Smee...but he is merely a hired hand," Gold replied.

"Wait...Smee? As in Mr. Smee and Captain Hook and all that crap?" Emma asked. Gold nodded curtly, as Snow came back.

"Red is on her way...she can help track Belle," she said, as David threaded his fingers with hers.

"I came as fast as I could," Red called, as she hurried inside. They handed a scarf that belonged to Belle to her and she got the scent and with that, they set off to find her.

Cora observed the heroes from the shadows, as she watched them follow the wolf girl in tracking some little waif that Rumple had allowed himself to become enamored with. It was disappointing of someone like him. She had warned him long ago about love and it's weakness, but it seemed he had fallen into those trappings. It was pitiful, but she would only be too happy to eventually rid him of his burden and take the dagger for herself. First though, she had to free her daughter from the prison that wretched girl had placed her in. And then the time for revenge would begin and would only end with Snow White's heart crushed to diamond dust in Regina's hand.

Then there was Persephone to consider. She had waited a long time to make her suffer and knew destroying her little girl and entire legacy was the only way to do so. When she had discovered years ago that Eva didn't actually give birth to Snow, it had no lessened her disdain for the little Princess. If anything, it made her hate Snow White more. The Princess had been born into a world that instantly adored her and never knew hardship, until her daughter ousted her from her perfect little bubble. But she didn't suffer enough.

Cora had struggled her entire life to become something and Snow White was born with favors from Gods and Goddess like her mother and grandmother, Persephone and Demeter. She knew for a fact that other patron Goddesses like Athena and Artemis would rally around Persephone to protect her precious little half breed spawn. It seemed only Hades shared her hatred of Snow White and Cora was determined to see that Snow White suffered and Persephone was made to watch it all. And Rumple would pay too for interfering as well and not allowing her to take care of the problem long before now.

Their distraction provided the perfect opportunity for Cora to whisk her daughter away from their captivity. Only then could their revenge be enacted, after all.

There was a gasp from Regina, as she witnessed her mother slither into the Sheriff's station.

"Mother...you're here," Regina uttered.

"Hello darling," Cora cooed, as she approached the bars.

"Oh, this will not do at all," she added, as her magic, which she seemed to have no trouble using in Storybrooke, swirled into the lock.

"Persephone did something to keep me in," Regina warned. Cora smirked, as the lock snapped open.

"Not to worry, dear. Hades' whore will have to do better than that soft magic she derives from her flowers and dirt," Cora responded snidely, as Regina was freed.

"You'll need to take out the cameras if you don't want them to know you're here yet," she warned.

"Cameras?" Cora asked. Regina pursed her lips. Right, her mother would have no idea about this world's magic.

"They record everything," Regina said, pointing at the two devices mounted to the ceiling.

"This world has its own magics that you're not familiar with," she added. Cora waved her hand and the devices winked out of existence.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't seem too happy to see me," Cora mentioned.

"Of course I'm happy," Regina refuted, as they hugged.

"Now...we must remain inconspicuous for a while until it's time to enact our revenge on the heroes," Cora stated.

"We can go to my home. A simple protection spell can keep them out," Regina suggested, as her emotions warred within her. Somehow, she knew instinctively that getting her revenge on Snow and Emma meant losing Henry and she didn't want that. Henry was everything, but she so wanted to make those wretched Charmings pay too. Her old mentors words echoed within her too.

Love and revenge...you can't have both, dearie.

But she wanted both...she wanted it all and as she spied a poster on the bulletin board, her anger swelled anew in her, as she glared at the parchment promoting Snow White for Mayor.

"Like hell…" she growled, as she ripped it away and turned the paper to ash. Slowly, she was getting the hang of magic again.

"Don't worry sweetheart, that little tramp isn't going to take the Throne that is rightfully yours and we'll make her pay for her insolence. Her and her whole family," Cora promised.

"But Henry…my son. I adopted him, but Emma gave birth to him," she uttered. If this revelation surprised Cora, she didn't show it.

"Henry will be yours," she assured.

"He'll hate me if I kill his family," Regina warned.

"No...we'll make him see that this is the only way. I have plans to make sure we both get everything we want," Cora replied. Regina smirked deviously, as they disappeared in twin puffs of purple smoke.
