Chapter 12
Back down in the Underworld, the Children of Darkness that follow Charlotte the daughter of a deceased Dark One Christine are in still in their hiding place. Charlotte is furious that they failed in killing Prue and Robin and not only that but Gideon has now discovered he has a deeper connection to the Vault before Charlotte wanted it to be revealed. Charlotte is standing before all of her Children of Darkness followers gathering her thoughts.
"That pathetic child all he had to do was let the two girls die," Charlotte snapped.
"What did you expect Charlotte, Gideon and the girls share a bond did it cross your mind that he would try and save them," A Child of Darkness points out to Charlotte.
"Watch your tongue," Charlotte yells as she uses telekinesis to throw the Child of Darkness that spoke moments ago into a wall.
"If Gideon makes the Vault whole without our collective than we will lose our authority over the Vault and will lose our chance of being resurrected and I will not let that happen," Charlotte says.
"Even if we do get resurrected the Savior will come for us," A Child of Darkness.
"Our collective is stronger than the Savior and besides I've already killed a saviour," Charlotte replied.
"A saviour from your time, yes, but Emma is different she has proven she is capable of breaking the Dark Curse and has beaten villains like Pan, Cora etc," A Child of Darkness comments.
"All saviours have weakness and normally they have something to do with love," Charlotte says before wicked plan forms in her head Charlotte smirks.
"Sister what plan have you got in mind,"? Another Child of Darkness asked Charlotte.
"One amazing and cruel the Saviour is powerful but love clouds her judgement and I know the perfect way I can resurrect myself and you all and remove the Saviour from the equation," Charlotte tells her followers.
Meanwhile back at the Gold house, Emma has come over with Regina and Zelena. The Gold family quickly explain the situation of the Vault and why they think the Dark Ones want the Vault made whole.
"Rumple, is there any possible risks of the Vault not being made whole on the town,"? Emma asks Rumple.
"There is a slight chance since the Vault may not have a master or someone to help it decide who is on its side and who isn't," Gold replied.
"Wait it saved Gideon's life wouldn't that mean whatever or whoever sent that spell to kill the girls be seen as an enemy towards the Vault,"? Baelfire asked.
"Perhaps, but there no way for us to know for sure," Regina commented.
"Maybe, Maybe not from what Grams told me, I am connected to the Vault what if we find a way for me to communicate with the Vault," Gideon suggests.
"Out of the question, the Vault may have saved your life but it still let that spell enter a chamber and almost kill my daughter," Zelena snapped.
"Then they has to be a reason why the Vault let the spell in maybe someone has gained control of it and if I go back there I might be able to find out how the spell got into the chamber," Gideon says.
"Gideon its too dangerous to go alone we don't know exactly how your connection works you could still get hurt," Emma points out.
"Then come with me, Bae, you too we don't know how long we have until something worse happens" Gideon replied.
"Fine but any sign of danger Emma will be sending you back no buts," Baelfire tells Gideon.
Baelfire, Gideon and Emma went to numerous chambers of Dark Ones trying to find out if anyone or thing is controlling the Vault and how that dark spell that almost killed Prue, Robin and Gideon managed to get into the chamber. The three learned nothing as the last attempt they went to the Meadow pocket realm.
"We haven't found anything to say whether the Vault has a master or who's side its truly on," Baelfire snapped.
"There has to be something to find I know there is," Gideon replied.
"Well, there nothing I can see that could tell us," Emma commented.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star," Whispered a voice that makes Gideon jump.
"Who said that," Gideon shouted.
"Who said what," Baelfire asks concerned at Gideon's sudden outburst.
"How I wonder where you are," The voice spoke again but after this sentence finishes Baelfire, Emma and Gideon collapse into a deep sleep.
The three awaken a couple of minutes later to find a young man before them a man with ginger hair and green eyes. The man looks to be in his early twenties and is wearing rags. On the man's left palm lies a burn with an infinity sign mark. The man approaches Gideon and helps him to his feet. Gideon for some reason felt safe around the strange man like he has no worry in the world something he never felt with most people. Gideon soon notices he has the same burn as the man and on his left palm as well. Emma and Baelfire quickly stand on their own feet easily and quickly find they have the same burn too. Baelfire quickly pulls Gideon gently away from the stranger and closer to him and Emma.
"I understand your protectiveness of Gideon, Baelfire and I mean no harm to either of you," the man said.
"Who are you,"? Emma asked.
"My name is Nathaniel and I am a Child of Darkness," Nathaniel tells the three.
"How many Children of Darkness are there," Baelfire asked.
"Countless some died shortly after they were conceived," Nathaniel says.
"Why do we have these burns," Emma questioned.
"I've temporarily linked us together I've borrowed a small percent of your lifeforce so I can speak with you to warn you of a great danger that is coming," Nathaniel replied.
"The great danger what is it," Gideon asks.
"One that seeks to be reborn one that's mind is so twisted that it seeks to bring pain and misery one of our own Gideon," Nathaniel spoke.
"Who," Gideon questioned.
"A child born from love a grandchild of a bird that floats on water shall be the first to fall," Nathaniel replied.
"What does that mean,"? Emma said.
"I'm sorry this all I can say Gideon remember us apart but together when you need me, just call out my name," Nathaniel tells Gideon then moments later Nathaniel fades away and burns on Baelfire, Emma and Gideon's hands vanish.
