Rose sighed as she walked in the rose garden, as she is bored. Ella and Tatiana were off somewhere secret. She didn't want to

ask to join in because it appears that Ella and Tatiana are private people. "Hey Tinker, what are you doing?" asked Rose's father.

Rose chuckled which she embraced his father, "I missed you." Her father smiled and nodded, "Rose garden is the most beautiful

place. Did you know that you was born in one?" Rose turned her head, "I thought I am named after my mother as flower

naming tradition." Jonat chuckled which he rubbed Rose's blonde curls, "Named after your dear mother and grandmother. Also

we named for your beauty as Rose Garden." Rose smiled, which she hugged her father, "I never see you anymore and thanks

for telling me." Jonat chuckled, "I miss you too, my little Rose Tinker Bell." Rose chuckled, "Come how you rarely call me Rose?"

"Because Tinker is my way to show fondness to you as I call your mother, sweet Rose." Rose nodded in understanding, "You

don't call my mama Catherine or Bluebell?" Jonat chuckled at his only daughter's million questions about the world, "Because

that where I met your mother, a beautiful woman like a rose." Rose gigged which she hugged her father as long she could.

Looking around to make certain nobody is watching, Tatiana snuck off from her curfew to be in the room. "Where are you

going?Looking around to make sure nobody is watching, Tatiana snuck off from her curfew to be in the room. Tatiana held Ella's

shoulder, "I promise I'll be safe and I'll be back before you know it. Stay here and be a good girl." She felt the pain of regret,

only she has to protect her older sister and keep her secret lover safe. Ella sighed which she held Tatiana's hand tight. Tatiana

has knelt down, "Ellie, you will not go to any places if you keep me on your side all time. Also, you will have to become

stronger. Stop hiding behind me and go say screw to our mother and grandmother!" Ella nodded in understanding, but she isn't

going to change because her younger sister said so, "Just promise me that you will be back home." Tatiana nodded, "I will

never abandon you. You are way too precious to lose." Ella smiled, which she hugged her sister then let her go. Tatiana smiled

which she waved her goodbye and went off into the woods to meet her lover. "What it takes you so long?" said Tatiana's lover.

Tatiana chuckled, "Just my coward sister, Graham Cracker." Graham chuckled which he accepted her charm. They soon began to

kiss and cuddle. "Why you are so perfect like a beautiful fairy?" Tatiana chuckled, "My name means fairy, so practically I am a

fairy." Graham grinned which he tugged Tatiana's golden hair. "I promise I'll be with you always, Graham Cracker." said Tatiana

fondly. Graham smiled, which he plucked the red rose, "Miss Tatiana, I know I don't have any proper ring for you, but will you

wed me?" Tatiana was speechless. She loves her boyfriend but she is not quite ready to get married. Looking around for a

second, which she took a deep breath, "I love you, Graham but I'm not ready for this huge step of my life." Graham kept his

head down but he accepted her word. "I am sorry, Graham Cracker." He just held the Tatiana's hand and squeezed, as he

wanted to treasure her.

Ella was getting fidgety as she started to worry about Tatiana. She decided that she cannot be scary-cat anymore, so she going

to start afresh. Taking a deep breath, she opened her door and stepped away. It was all quiet in the hall. Taking a small pace,

she held her breath as she made her way toward Aunt Ingrid's room. Ella grinned as she opened the doorway, "I did it, Aunt

Ingrid!" Ingrid was with Rumplestlitskin, which Ella muttered, "I thought we are not to associate with him at all." Rumple

walked over which he held Ella's chin then giggled. "Haven't you be informed that you and your sister will carry my magic?"

Ingrid held Rumple's arm, "Please, don't. All magic comes with a price. The last thing I want them to be hurt." Rumple turned

his head, "You know, I would need their mom, but Princess Meli is stupid as her mother and it's a known fact that she's too

stupid to know that she made deal with me long ago. Now, your name is Nellie, girlie?" Ella just stood as she has mistrust

toward Rumple for just that she was taught that the Dark One is the most dangerous person to interact with. Ingrid grabbed

Rumple's hand, "Please don't push her. She is a sweet and innocent young lady." Rumple giggled, "This Nellie girl? Listen,

Ingrid. Nellie is the daughter of Princess Meli and Erik. You know how stupid Princess Meli and Erik are? Too are their

grandmother, Queen Mar and her one thousandth lover. It's miraculous how smart each, except Meli, kids pop out." Ingrid

sighed, "I paid a huge price for practicing my magic. I murdered Helga and made poor Gerda to trap me and I don't desire this

to happen to my beautiful nieces." Rumple's changed his attention on Ingrid to Ella. He kept holding Ella's chin as he had a

plan, "Nellie will be my perfect student if she doesn't hide her sister's dress every time." Ella decided she tired of harassing,

which she spoke up, "Excuse me, sir. First more, my name is Ella. E-L-L-A. It's not that difficult to say my name at all. I am not

a coward, I'm a lot braver than you reckon I am." Rumple smirked that he finally got Ella to outburst, "Now look at you, Ella.

You are ready to be my pupil." Ella stared at Rumple, "No. Not without my sister. She is my backbone of support." Rumple

curtsied to Ella, "Yes, Your Royal Highness." Ella squirted her eyes in suspicion. All sudden Rumple was extra gracious to her,

"It's getting late and I'm going to bed before the hell breaks loose with the queens." She walked out Ingrid's room and returned

into her bed and started to sob. She tired of feeling scared and hiding her younger sister's red dress. It's time for her to take

command of her destiny rather than obeying her idiotic mother and grandmother's controlling her life.
