Chapter 2

Reunion.

Morgana landed with a thump, face down in the earth. She sat up and looked around for her daughter to find her no where to be seen. Her heart began to race and she got to her feet slowly in fear of broken bones. She had none and that was good. She heard a gentle cough from behind her and turned to see two dwarves stood in front of her.

"Ma'am, you shouldn't be down here. I'm sorry we'll escort you to the entrance." Said the elder if the dwarves.

"I'm sorry, my daughter is around her I need to find her..." She began.

"There's been no children, male or female round here, love, but if we see her we'll take her to Storybrooke police station and then you'll know where she is. Have you got a name, missy?" The other dwarf said.

"Morgana. Morgana Le Fey. And you are?"

"Grumpy and this is Sneezy," with that the other dwarf sneezed loudly. "Lets take you into Storybrooke and to Granny's diner, she'll set you up for a while and if we see your daughter..." Grumpy added.

"Ravenna. Her name is Ravenna."

"If we see Ravenna we'll know where to find you and you can take her bsck. Deal?"

"Yes. Yes please find her." She said and the dwarves nodded before abandoning their tools and leading the tall, pale, dark haired young woman to Storybrooke and Granny's Diner. The dwarves conversed the whole time but not to her.

"We can't disturb Mr Gold, he's on his honeymoon... Achoo!" Sneezy sneezed.

"He's back, he and Belle got back last night and they will be in Granny's for breakfast. I know they will." Grumpy explained and they walked her into Granny's. sure enough there was Rumple Gold and Belle sat in a booth talking quietly together. Robin. Roland, Marian, the merry men and Regina were around another table (the two women glaring at each other) and the Charming's were at another with baby Neal, Emma, Henry and Hook.

Morgana gasped quietly as she saw the back of Rumple's head. He was alive.

"Mr Gold, sorry to intrude, but this young woman appeared at the mine. We thought you may know what to do." Sneezy wheezed to Rumple. Rumple turned in his seat and stared, mouth falling open as he gazed on the face of Morgana, tear stained and pale.

"Morgana?" He asked and Morgana nodded, crying again. Rumple rose to his feet and pulled her into his arms. His usually hard exterior cracking to reveal his compassionate side.

"Rumple." She wailed, crying into his chest and her arms tightening around his waist.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong? How did you get here?" Rumple asked pulling her away so he could look into her face.

"I fell. There must have been a portal. One minute I was following Arthur, and Gwen with Merlin and Ravenna... Oh Ravenna, she's vanished, Rumple." Morgana howled again.

"I'll help you find her. Merlin and Arthur and Guinevere too. I promise." Rumple vowed.

"Please." She nodded sadly.

"I never thought I would see you again, dearest sister." Rumple said holding her to him again.

"Me neither, Rumple." She agreed, taking his hands and sighing as magic flowed through the pair of them. Belle coughed, distracting her husband.

"Sorry, Belle. My adopted sister, Morgana Le Fey. Morgana my wife, Belle." Rumple said and Belle shook Morgana's hand.

"Hello."

"Lady Morgana?" Robin Hood asked and he and the merry men moved from their seats and dropped into low bows, a knee each on the floor of the Diner. Morgana looked at them with a kind smile and a little laugh.

"Stand up, Robin. You don't need to bow to me, save that for when King Arthur and Queen Guinevere arrive." She said gently and robin rose to his feet and hugged his friend. "Hello, outlaw."

"Hello, sorceress." He laughed in her ear before releasing her. Rumple flashed her a look.

"Without Mr Hood and his merry men, I would have died having Ravenna. They were my midwives. They found me in the enchanted forest, in labour and helped me, weak as I was, deliver Ravenna. I am eternally grateful to them." She smiled, her hands still on Robin's arms.

"I vow to return Ravenna to you. You have my word." Robin promised, kissing her forehead.

"Thank you, Robin." She smiled and turned when a little voice at her knee proclaimed. "Auntie Mo."

She turned, there head at he knee was robin's son, Roland. "Hello, Roland." She scooped him up and hugged him.

"Ravvie." He said.

"We'll find her, dear, don't worry, you two will have your happy ending. I promise." Morgana promised the boy before handing him to Robin. "He gets more like you every time I see him."

"We will get Ravenna back. For their sake as well as our own." Robin vowed again, knowing that many years before Morgana had seen a future for Roland and Ravenna together. The two children shared true love as Rumple and Belle did, as she and Merlin did. Morgana nodded before turning on the rest of the diner.

"I hope you will all help me find my five year old daughter." She said sadly once again and then jumped to shield Rumple as the door to Granny's blew open and an icy wind shot through.

"That's weird, it doesn't normally snow in August." Henry stated and Morgana grimaced.

"Not again." She sighed and Rumple took her hand gently in his and then took hold of Belle in the other, their rings brushing together. She knew exactly what the icy wind and freezing windows meant, it meant only one thing. Hell.
