Okay, here's chapter 3. There's not much I'd like to say except for thank you for the favorites, follows and kind reviews. I'm really happy about where this story is going, I hope you guys are intrigued. I actually had this idea after watching episode 4x07, which was a while ago, but I only had the time to write it now because of my finals. Enjoy!
The New Dark One - Chapter 3
"Oh my God! Auntie Tink, are you alright?!"
The fairy slowly opened her eyes. The girl was still there. She took a deep breath before she spoke.
"So I guess that wasn't a dream, was it?"
"Nope. I mean, no it wasn't" Lara corrected herself quickly, her mother used to constantly remind her to use proper grammar.
The fourteen-year-old helped the blonde up. She let Tinkerbell be the first one to talk, she didn't want to scary the fairy and have her pass out again.
"So, what you're saying is you are Regina and Robin's future daughter?" she said carefully.
"Yes, that's exactly what I am saying"
Tinkerbell's face immediately lit up.
"I knew I was right! Pixie dust never lies! I told Regina they would get trough this, they are destined to be together"
'Well, not exactly…"
"What do you mean, 'not exactly'?!" They blonde woman frowned "And how did you get here anyway? I thought Zelena was the only one who had cracked the code to time traveling"
"I was able to rewrite my aunt's spell without having to sacrifice anyone, because since I inherited dark magic from my mom, but I am also a child born out o true love, I have extreme power. Both dark and light magic. No biggie really" she chose to ignore Tinkerbell's confused expression "Anyway, in the future, my present, my parents aren't together. They really wanted to. But since nobody was able to unfreeze Marian…"
"Wait. What?!"
"Yeah, in short: the weird weather changes we're experiencing right now are being caused by a powerful sorcerer called the Snow Queen. Tomorrow, she's gonna freeze Marian and, in order to save her, mom is gonna rip her heart out. This way the cold won't be able to reach it, but she'll be forever frozen."
"We gotta warn her!" The fairy stood up to leave, but Lara took her arm.
"You can't!"
"Why not?! She's just an innocent woman. We must help her!"
"Auntie Tink, please listen to me"
"Ok" Tinkerbelle nodded with her head "but only if you stop calling me 'auntie Tink'"
"I'm sorry" Lara apologized "its just force of habit, I guess. In the future we are really close…" she took a breath before she said "you're like a mother to me"
The blonde fairy couldn't contain a smile at the child's declaration.
"Okay, so tell me. Why can't we save Marian?"
"Because I you do, if she's never frozen, I might never be born"
Tinkerbell took a moment to process the information and what was being implied there.
"Okay, but we still can't just do nothing about it"
"We won't, I promise. Actually, that's exactly the reason I am here"
"You came all the way from the future to save the woman who kept your parents apart?" Asked the fairy, cynical.
"In a way, yes. I'm here to unfreeze Marian so that Henry never becomes the Dark One".
Tinkerbell collapsed once more.
So the identity of the New Dark One is revealed! Someone had already guessed, so congrats! I hope it wasn't too obvious. XOXO
PS. Anyone has any idea about what Marian has to do with Henry becoming the Dark One? I plan to reveal that in the next chapter, but in the meantime, please tell me what you think!
