Rose POV
I was at home with Grandma, Grandpa and Mom. Grandma was at bed while Mom and I were eating. Grandpa tried to get Grandma to come out and eat but she didn't want to.
Grandpa sighed as he walked back to me and Mom. "Anything?" Mom asked him. "She won't eat a bite," He said. I frowned and looked back at Grandma, "What's wrong with her?" I asked. "Nothing," Mom said and I looked at her, "She's just a little sick."
Grandpa and Mom exchanged a glance and I knew they were lying to me. "You guys are lying to me, aren't you?" I said. "No one's lying," Mom said.
"You are, just like you did about my Dad," I said to her. "Rose, I -" Mom started as she placed her hand on my shoulder but I moved from her touch. She looked at Grandpa, "She's right. No more lying," She said.
"Emma . . ."
"She deserves to know." She looked at me, "Here's the thing, Rose. Cora's death . . . Mary Margaret was partially responsible for it, and that's why she's so upset."
"No. No, no, she couldn't," I said, shaking my head. Then, there was a knock on the door and Grandpa went to answer the door. "She was trying to protect us," Mom told me. "But she's Snow White," I said, "She wouldn't hurt anybody."
"Get out!" Grandpa said and Mom and I turned around to see Mr. Gold. "I think you're gonna wanna hear what I have to say -" Mr. Gold said and glanced at Grandma, "For her sake."
"What are you talking about?" Mom asked as we stood up and looked at him. "Regina. She's planning to strike back -" Mr. Gold said and Mom wrapped her arm around my shoulder, "Against your mother."
"What is she gonna do to her?" I asked. "Oh, she didn't say," He said. "No," Grandpa said, "You don't get to come in here and just drop a bomb like that. You're gonna figure this out. And you're gonna help us."
"And why should I?" Mr. Gold asked. "Because aside from us being family now, Mary Margaret saved your life," Grandpa said and Mr. Gold glanced at Grandma again. "Now you owe her a debt. And you always pay your debts, don't you? You're gonna help us stop Regina."
... ...
After Grandpa and Mr. Gold came back from Regina's cellar, I heard them talking with Mom from upstairs. "What the hell does that do?" Mom asked.
"In theory, it has the power to make someone love you," Mr. Gold said. "Doesn't that break magic laws? You can't bring back to life, you can't force someone to love you," Mom said.
"This particular spell can make someone think they love you. And if you're as desperate for love as Regina appears to be, you just might believe it," Mr. Gold said.
I walked down the stairs, "She's using it on me, isn't she," I said. Grandpa walked up to me, "Hey honey, why don't you go back upstairs, let us handle this."
"No!" I said and pushed past him, and ran over to Mom. "Emma! You said you were going to be honest with me," I said as she put her hand on my shoulder. I looked at the three, "Why is Regina using this curse?"
"Because it's the only way she can get everything she wants. That she can get you," Mr. Gold replied.
"But if all she wants is me . . ."
"Your mother is a complicated woman, sweetheart," He cut me off, "She wants your love of course, but she also wants vengeance." He glanced over his shoulder on Grandma, "On Mary Margaret."
"How does the curse give her both?" Grandpa asked, crossing his arms. "Because the last ingredient she needs to enact the curse is the heart of the person she hates the most," Mr. Gold explained.
I was shocked. "You have to stop her," Mom said to Mr. Gold. He scoffed, "Oh, I don't have to do anything. On the contrary, I believe warning you fulfills my debt," He said. "Not even close! This is my wife's life we're talking about," Grandpa snapped.
"Not to mention your granddaughter's!" Mom said. Mr. Gold glanced at me and sighed before looking at Mom, "The only way you can end a blood feud, is by the spilling of more blood. That is the only way I know to eliminate your Regina problem."
"How, by killing her?" Grandpa asked and I looked at him. No! This can't be happening! "Is there no other option?" Mom asked and I looked at her, shocked. "I'm afraid not," Mr. Gold said.
"Stop!" I said and stood at the middle. "Listen to yourselves. You're talking about killing my Mom! You used to be heroes. What happened to you?" I glanced at all three of them.
I shook my head and ran to the door. I grabbed my coat and backpack, "Rose," Mom called but I ignored her and ran out the apartment.
Third Person POV
Emma grabbed her coat as she looked at David and Mr. Gold, "No matter how this plays out, we need to keep her as far away from it as possible," She said and then ran out after Rose.
"She's right," Mr. Gold said and David turned back to look at him. "Cora is more dangerous because she didn't have a heart. Regina is even more dangerous because she does."
... ...
Rose POV
Mom took me to Granny's Diner to talk. "Why are you bringing me here? I don't want to talk to you," I said. "You don't have to," Mom said as she placed her hands on my shoulder from the back and led me to a booth and I saw Dad sitting there.
"Hey, baby girl! I saved you a seat!" Dad said with a smile and I smiled at him. "I'm going to go get a coffee," Mom said. "Yeah," Dad said and Mom walked away.
I sat down as Ruby came over, "Here you go," She said and put down a large sundae in front of Dad, "One large sundae, extra everything."
"Thanks, Ruby," Dad said and Ruby gave me a smile, and I returned. She walked away as Dad pushed the sundae across the table to me.
"Extra everything?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow. He smiled, "What?" He asked. "Dad, you think I don't know a bribe when I see one?" I asked, smirking and I pushed the sundae to the side.
He made a face, "That obvious, huh?" He said. I lend back and smirked, "So what do you want?" I asked.
"Well, your Mom told me about everything that's been going on and we thought that Storybrooke might not be the safest place for you right now," Dad said. "So I was thinking, why don't we go to New York?"
"New York?" I asked. "Well, Regina can't cast that curse if you're in New York. There's no magic there," Dad pointed out. "So we should find a way to get rid of magic. My Mom wouldn't want to cast the curse, my family wouldn't want to kill her, it would solve everything," I said.
"Yeah," Dad agreed. "You know what, you're right. But until then, why don't you come with me?" I smiled and nodded. I have an idea!
Third Person POV
Emma glanced at the back to look at Neal and Rose talking and then she looked back as Ruby placed a coffee at the counter, "Thanks, Ruby."
"Excuse me?" A man started as he walked over and handed Ruby a plate with a sandwich, "Can I get this sandwich wrapped up to go? I was thinking about going on a hike."
"A hike, huh?" Emma asked. "Well Dr. Whale said it would be good for me to get on my feet. Plus I'm kind of a nature photography nerd," The man explained. It was the same man that was in the car accident that caused by Hook and Mr. Gold.
"He said you'd be back in Pennsylvania by now," Emma said as Ruby came back with the sandwich in a bag. "This town's starting to grow on me," He replied. He gave Ruby some money, "Thank you very much." He grabbed the bag and walked out the door.
Ruby and Emma exchanged a glance before Emma rolled her eyes and grabbed the coffee, and walked back to Neal and Rose. But Rose wasn't sitting there anymore. "How did it go?" Emma asked as Neal was placing his scarf around his neck.
"Went good, she said yes," Neal said with a smile. "Seriously?" Emma asked, shocked. Neal grinned, "Yeah, she's in the bathroom right now. I'm just gonna go home and pack," He replied and Emma frowned and looked at the side that Rose was sitting. "Not bad for day three as a Dad if I do say so myself," Neal said.
Emma pointed her finger at the spot, "Wait, where's her backpack?" Neal shrugged, "I don't know, she took it with her," He said. "To the bathroom? Did you really fall for that? She's your daughter," Emma said. Neal then realized what Rose was doing, "She's running." With that, he and Emma ran out.
