Chapter 4
David and Dorothy jumped into a ready stance as they went to walk away.
David walked over to Mary Margret's cell. "I love you. We will find out who did this and they will pay. I know you're in there somewhere and I will help you."
"I know you will. You always come back for me." Kissing Mary Margret through the bars he started to walk out.
Dorothy similarly talked to Ruby. "I love you Wolfie. We will get whoever did this to you, I promise."
"No, don't go Kansas. What if you don't come back? Then I'll be alone again." Ruby grabbed Dorothy's hand and wouldn't let go.
"I won't let that happen, Ruby. I'm coming back." Dorothy got her hand free. Putting her face up to the bars she kissed Ruby good-bye. "I love you, Kansas. Come back to me."
Dorothy followed David to the exit.
Regina looked at Emma hoping for the same response the other two got. Emma fiddled with her hands. "Oh what the hell." She kissed Regina like it was the first time. "I love you, Regina." Emma whispered under her breath. "I love you too, Emma. And don't worry; I know you'll come back. Besides you're too stubborn to die." Emma chuckled at Regina's comment then followed Dorothy and David to the exit.
"What are you doing here?" Emma spat.
All three ladies were confused as the saw their lovers return to the police station.
"That was fast." Regina commented.
"We aren't really back at our free will." David said.
The three women watched as a man holding a gun entered the police station. The women wanted to do something to save their loves but all were restricted.
The man shot a gun in the air that made everybody jump. "What are you doing?" Dorothy yelled.
"Well I'm here to make all of you go under my curse then with all of the hero's stopped I can affect everybody else." The man smiled.
"What does your curse do anyways?" Emma questioned.
"It's simple really. It makes everybody tell the truth and most importantly what they are too afraid to say or do."
"Why would you do that? What do you get out of it?" Dorothy questioned with her cross bow now pointed at the man.
"You see, people called me mad because I told the truth. Why is it that we are always seen as crazy when we do what we truly want?" The man paused trying to get back on track. "It doesn't matter now because I am about to turn the whole town crazy for good."
"Why though?" Emma asked.
"Pay back. Because in reality we're all mad here."
Dorothy perked up as she finally realized who this person was. "You're the Mad Hatter."
"Here I go by Jefferson. Since you were the first one to call me out, you will be the first to go." Jefferson reached in a bag and pulled out some powder.
"No!" Ruby yelled. Her eyes glowed yellow as she transformed into a beautiful wolf. Ripping the bars off the wall she tackled Jefferson in one pounce. His bag flew out of his hand and David ran to pick it up.
"Ruby, no." Dorothy yelled. Ruby stared down at this man wanting to rip his throat out.
"Ruby, you're better than this. You can control the wolf. I know you can. Get off of him." Ruby let out a whine listening to Dorothy talking to her in a soft tone.
"Listen to your girl wolf." Jefferson spat. Ruby glared back down at Jefferson and growl came from her throat.
"I'd shut up if I were you." Emma said.
Dorothy walked over to Ruby and put her hand on her shoulder. "Come on, Ruby."
The wolf started to get off of Jefferson and he scrambled backwards. He snatched his bag out of David's hands and reached in for his hat. Spinning the hat as he threw it down and a portal opened up. Jefferson immediately jumped through it and the portal closed.
"We're just going to let him get away?" Dorothy questioned in a tone that was close to a yell.
"He's gone and we have bigger fish to fry now." Emma responded.
Ruby walked back into the cell. "You did good, Wolfie." Dorothy smiled and kissed the top of the wolfs head. "I'll be back with your cloak." Walking to Granny's Dorothy went to get Ruby's red cloak to transform her back into a human.
Emma walked over to Regina and simply just wrapped her in a hug.
A couple hours later the spell wore off and they returned to their normal selves. Mary Margret returned first. David let her out the cell and wrapped her up in a hug. She walked over to Regina who had a pissed off look on her face. "I'm sorry for punching you." She apologized.
"It's ok. In a way it is my fault but I wasn't the one that told you to put her in a tree." Regina smiled.
"Now you sound like yourself." Emma said. Regina immediately became embarrassed as her cheeks turned pink.
"Miss Swan, I am so sorry-"
"Was it true?" Emma interrupted.
"Yes." Regina simply replied. She stared at the ground scared of the response that may come.
"I love you too." Emma smiled. Regina looked up with a surprised smile on her face. Both girls collided together into a kiss.
Dorothy and Ruby smiled as they watched. "Knew it." Ruby laughed. Her heart then began to race because she knew it was now her turn to come face to face with what she said while under the curse.
"I think you should go talk to Granny." Dorothy stated. Ruby nodded and they made their way to the diner.
Once they entered the Diner Ruby walked up to Granny with Dorothy behind her for support. "I'm sorry what I said to you Granny. I know you like Dorothy and I appreciate all the support you have given us." Ruby anxiously waited for a response.
"It's ok, Ruby. Some of what you said may have been true. I'm an old soul and while I think Dorothy is a sweet girl I don't understand how your true love is a woman when you loved Peter. But now I see that true love shows no gender. Your heart sees no gender it only feels love. I can see that you and Dorothy love each other and Dorothy makes you very happy and that is all I want for you, Ruby. It will take time but eventually I'll understand it but right now I do understand that she makes you happy and that's enough for me." Granny smiled and Ruby swallowed her up in a hug.
"I love you, Granny."
"I love you too, Ruby." Granny smiled. "Now you two go up to your room, it's been a long day and I'm sure you're tired. I'll call you if I need you.
Ruby and Dorothy nodded. Locking hands they made their way to their room. Once inside the room Dorothy sat on the bed and messed nervously with the sheets. Ruby put on her boxer shorts and t-shirt and sat beside Dorothy on the bed.
"What's wrong Kansas? You've been more quiet than usual." Ruby looked at Dorothy trying to read her.
"A couple things, did you really sleep around town?" Kansas looked up at her wolf. Now it was Ruby who was nervous.
"Kind of. Before the curse broke I wore not much clothing and was a bit of a rebel." She could tell that Dorothy started to seem solemn. "That was the old me and it isn't me now. I've changed a lot. Besides you're the only one I have eyes for." Ruby could tell that made Dorothy feel a little better.
"I'm sorry I left you the first time. I thought I was protecting you." Dorothy said in a low voice.
"I know you were protecting me, Kansas. I've forgiven you." Ruby smiled.
"But have you really because you pleading me not to leave you at the police station didn't sound like you were convinced."
"I'm sorry about that. I guess there will always be a part in me that is scared something will happen to you and I'll be left alone. I just love you so much and I would hate to picture my life with you." Ruby finished.
Dorothy looked at Ruby and hugged her. "You don't have to worry about that."
Ruby put her hand lightly on Dorothy's cheek and moved the girls face to look at her. Ruby softly kissed Dorothy's lips, which turned into a passionate kiss. Ruby pushed Dorothy onto her back as Ruby began to make a trail of kisses down her neck. Dorothy let out a soft moan. The girl then flipped them over to where the wolf was on her back. Nibbling on her ear Dorothy whispered, "Let me show you how much I appreciate you saving me at the police station."
