chapter 4
Regina grabbed a smaller mirror and said in an angry voice: "Mirror, put that image on here."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the mirror replied.
Regina stormed out of her room in anger. As she walked she saw the Huntsman. "Huntsman, I want you to watch over Emma while I am gone.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the Huntsman said and bowed. Regina walked past him and up to the tower.
Her father hurried over to her. "May I ask where you are going, Regina?"
"I am going to stop that little imp from ruining my plans," Regina said. An evil smirk as she walked away from her father.
~OUAT~OUAT~OUAT~
"If you need time to think about, dearie, you may. Wouldn't want the wife to get mad at you," said Rumple. James knew the imp was right. Not telling Snow would be bad, even if meant not getting their daughter back this exact moment.
"I will be back tomorrow," James said over his shoulder as he left the cell. He came out of the cave and the guards stood quickly.
"Are you alright, Sire?" one asked.
James replied with a grim smile on his face. "Yes, I'm fine…" As he rode back to the castle, he could only think about how Snow would react.
~OUAT~OUAT~OUAT~
Regina watched the mirror, an evil grin started to appear on her face. Yes, that fool hasn't made the deal yet. This gives me time to make my own. One I know Rumple will want to make, she thought. Regina finally reached the tower Belle was locked in. Two guards stood up and bowed as she walked up to them. "You, follow me; bring the shackles. And you," she pointed to the guard on the right, "Get the wagon and my horse ready"
"Yes, Your Majesty," both replied. One grabbed the shackles while the other guard left to get everything ready.
As they finally reached the cell, Regina demanded impatiently, "Unlock the door."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard replied, unlocking the door.
The door swung open and Regina entered the cell. "Wake up, it's your lucky day Belle."
Belle sat up confused. "Why?" she asked coldy.
"Because, my dear you just might get your freedom back. Today." Regina replied. She addressed the guard, "Put the shackles on her." The guard nodded and quickly but the shackles on Belle's wrists. "Now, let us leave," Regina said. Regina turned around and walked out of the cell, Belle and the guard close on her heels. They reached the stables and Belle was thrown into the cage.
~OUAT~OUAT~OUAT~
Red sat on a bench in the palace garden. She felt guilty for lying to snow about where James had gone…
"Red have you seen James? He wasn't in bed when I woke this morning?" Snow had asked.
"Yes, he went out on a hunt early this morning. He wanted to clear his head," Red had replied, that seemed to satisfy Snow.
I hope she doesn't hate me when she finds out the truth and I hope James is on his way back, Red thought to herself.
~OUAT~OUAT~OUAT~
James entered the palace gates and demounted his horse, and Grumpy came up to him to help James unsaddle the horse. "Grumpy, do you know where Snow is?"
Grumpy replied, "The last place I saw Snow she was in the throne room."
"Thank you!" James hurried off, but paused and asked, "Oh, Grumpy? Could you take my horse to the stable for me?"
"Yeah, sure," Grumpy replied.
James ran into the palace and to the throne room where he found Snow sitting on her throne playing with her hair, frowning. James ran up to her and hugged her with all his might.
"Where have you been?!" Snow demanded.
"I went to see him and he agreed to help us find Emma," James told her smiling. "Him? As in Rumplestiltskin?!" Snow questioned angrily.
"Yes…" James replied.
Snow sighed, she didn't like it but this was going to be the only way to find Emma. She crossed her arms. "Alright, what does he want in return?"
"His freedom," James answered quietly.
