Chapter 8: To Kill a Snake
(*PRESENT DAY IN STORYBROOKE*)
Regina stood on her front porch while the others remained inside her mansion. It was night now in Storybrooke and everyone who wasn't in Regina's home had been turned into a Weeping Angel. Regina held the Eye of Life, a powerful object she'd acquired many years ago in the Enchanted Forest. She hoped to use it to turn everyone back into human beings. There were Weeping Angels scattered across her front lawn. She could see them all via the streetlights, moon light, and the light coming from the windows in her home. The Eye of Life then started to glow in her hands. She then lifted it up to her lips and whispered into it. However, nothing was happening. The dozens of Weeping Angels remained stone statues. The Eye of Life was the most powerful magic in Storybrooke. If that couldn't reverse this dark magic, then there was no hope of saving anyone and no hope of escape. Regina quickly walked back inside, shut her front door, and locked it. She then ran back to everyone else. They had gathered in the living room to wait for Regina.
"It didn't work." Regina said.
"How could it not work?" Mr. Gold asked. "You must have used it wrong."
"I used it just fine." Regina said. "I told you that it might not work."
"What do we do now?" Rose asked.
"We can't stay here." Mary Margaret said.
"This is the only safe place left." Emma said.
"And the Angels have it surrounded." David said.
"I think I've got it." The Doctor said.
"Got what?" Jack asked.
"Where is the original Angel?" The Doctor asked. "The very first one. The only way to kill a snake is to cut off its head. So, I bet the only way to save everyone, is to kill the original Angel that cast the spell in the first place."
"It's in my shop." Mr. Gold said. "I imprisoned it in Pandora's Box."
Suddenly, there were loud banging noises across the entire house.
"It's the Angels." Hook said. "They're trying to break through the walls."
"We have to leave now." Rose said.
"Take us to your store." The Doctor said. "We'll have to move quickly once we get there."
Suddenly, the arms of a Weeping Angels broke through parts of the walls and the front door. It would only take seconds for them to tear through the rest of the walls.
"They ruined my house." Regina said in an angry tone. "They'll be sorry."
Mr. Gold then used magic to transport the entire group out of Regina's mansion. They had just barely avoided being touched by the Angels. They needed to move fast, or else there would be no way to stop the Weeping Angels and their master, Missy.
