Chapter 3

Riding back to the police station Regina and David sat in the back while Emma and Mary Margret sat in the front. When walking into the station the noise level was at a normal chatter which confused Emma and David. Walking into the main station all of the people being held in the cells were acting like their normal selves again.

"I'm glad you're back. Everybody in the cells seem to be acting like themselves again so should I let them go or are you still going to keep them?" Ruby dangled the keys to the cells in her fingers.

"Let them go." Emma spoke up.

With that Ruby let all the people go and they put Mary Margret in one of the cells. Ruby locked the door and handed the keys to Emma.

"I should get back to the diner. I feel like we are about to get busy and I'm hungry myself."

"Bye Rubes, thanks for your help." Emma yelled down the hall to Ruby.

"So we know it wares off, now we just need to figure out the why and how." Emma sat on top of her desk trying to think of a plan to catch this person.

"Well while you two are figuring this out, I'm going to get food." Regina stood up and headed for the door.

"I thought you were going to help us figure this out?" Emma yelled in a panicky voice.

"I think better on a full stomach dear." Regina smirked and walked out the doors.

Getting to Granny's the wolf wasn't kidding when she said they would be busy. Regina quickly snagged a booth and Dorothy brought over a menu.

"What can I getcha?"

"I'm feeling a hamburger with fries. Thank you Dorothy."

"Coming right up ma'am." Dorothy smiled and turned away.

Regina looked around the restaurant watching everybody mingle and Ruby take bites of food in between running food.

A few minutes later Dorothy was making her way over to Regina with her food until a person accidently bumped into Dorothy. The tray slipped but Dorothy was able to catch it with out spilling anything. The person apologized and Dorothy kept walking over to the table.

"Nice save." Regina commented.

"Thanks. Do you need anything else ma'am?" Dorothy smiled.

"I am good thank you dear."

"Oh and Ruby told Granny and I about this glassy eye spell thing that's going around. Good luck on trying to figure it out." Regina just smiled in response. Dorothy nodded and went to grab a broom to begin sweeping.

"Ruby, do you mind taking this to table five please?" Granny motioned to the food sitting in the window.

Ruby looked at Granny and bluntly answered, "No, Granny I will not."

Dorothy was sweeping near by when Ruby said this to Granny. Her eyebrows squished together in shock of what the wolf just said. "Wolfie, don't speak to your Granny like that."

Rolling her eyes she glanced over at Dorothy. "It's ok. You would too if you

knew what she thought of you."

"Ruby!" Granny spat. "Quit acting like a teenager and get to work."

"She doesn't like you." Ruby whispered.

Dorothy put the broom down and walked over to Ruby.

"That is not true Ruby Lucas and you know it. Dorothy, I think you are sweetheart and I am so glad that you are able to give my Ruby her happy ending." Granny smiled at Dorothy who had a worried look on her face. Dorothy knew that Granny liked her so she was wondering where this was coming from.

Ruby let out a fake laugh. "That's a lie. You wanted me to end up with a guy and you know it. You would try and set me up with guys all the time."

Granny huffed. "That was because I hoped you would find a nice guy and you would be happy. Instead you decided to sleep with all the boys around town. I didn't know you were interested in woman or-"

"Or what? You would've set me up with a woman? Yea right. Maybe you didn't know I liked women because I was scared to tell you. Maybe I slept around town because I knew you wouldn't accept me so I tried to make myself like guys."

"Oh Ruby I do accept you for who you are. All I want is you to be happy and that's with Dorothy and I'm so happy for you two."

Dorothy stepped in between the women. "That's enough, Wolfie. Your Granny has been nothing but supportive of us, no matter what her personal opinion may be."

Ruby looked up at her true love and she had nothing to say so she put her hands on either side of Dorothy's face and pulled her in for a kiss. She moved her hands all over Dorothy's body and then tried to move her hands under Dorothy's shirt. Dorothy grabbed her hands and unhooked their lips. Looking into her eyes she could tell they looked glassy.

"Wolfie, I think it's time we take a walk to see Emma." Dorothy put her hand in Ruby's and led her out the restaurant.

Dorothy led Ruby into the police station; seeing that the other cell next to Mary Margret was open she led Ruby into the cell and shut the door on her. "I'm sorry, Ruby but you've been affected by the curse. I hope you understand later when you start being yourself again."

Ruby's face had hurt written all over it, which killed Dorothy, but she didn't want anything to happen to Ruby. Handing Emma back the keys Emma's face only showed confusion.

"Ruby has been affected by the curse. She was yelling things at Granny that she would never say-"

Before Dorothy could finish her sentence Regina was walked into the station and grabbed Emmas arm. Spinning her around Regina connected lips with Emma. Ruby and Dorothy looked at each other with a knowing smile. They had guessed it all along. The fact that Ruby and Dorothy made that connection to each other made Dorothy wonder if the spell caused the victims to say things they were too scared to say normally. When Dorothy connected with Ruby she could still see her wolf in control under those eyes.

"What the hell?" Mary Margret yelled from her cell.

"You stole my line. What is wrong with you Regina?" Emma looked confused but secretly liked it. She didn't want to show it incase this was a trick.

"I love you, Emma Swan. It has taken me far too long to speak to you about it but here I am now."

Emma stared into Regina's big brown eyes seeing that they were glassy. Emma's heart sank a bit realizing this was the curse talking but secretly hoping this was also Regina talking. Emma had no idea where to go from here and she didn't want to upset her queen.

"I'm sorry, Regina." Emma reached down and handcuffed Regina to the desk.

"What, what are you doing Emma? I just told you I love you and this is your response?" The vein on Regina's forehead began to show as did her anger.

"I'm doing this because you're under the spell." Emma's voice cracked as she said this. She felt bad for doing this to Regina but if she was going to tell Regina how she really felt she wanted it to be when she could remember and not in front of her parents.

"At least we know this will wear off soon." David walked over to Emma and put his hand on her shoulder.

"That is a good thing because tonight's a full moon and Wolfie is going to come out. I would hate to see what this curse would do to her." Dorothy walked over to the cell that held Ruby and put her hand on the bar. "We need to find out who is doing this." Dorothy's face was now serious at the thought of somebody doing this to her wolf with out her even knowing it.

"I agree, Dorothy but we have no idea where to start or who it is that's doing it. It's like they all went mad."

Emma perked up as she realized who it could be. "I think I know who did it."
