Chapter 11 control

The adults walked into the kitchen and saw Arya and Grace rushing around grabbing whatever food they could find and putting it into a picnic basket. They couldn't help but laugh then Belle walked up to them and said "why don't you set the blanket outside and I'll take care of the food".

As they ran, the adults heard "thanks mama" and "thanks Aunt Belle".

The adults looked around the kitchen and were shocked at how much mess two little girls could make in a matter of a minuet. Belle gathered the food and then the three of them walked outside.

Grace was already sat on the blanket, while Arya was standing in front of her and smiling. Hatter and Belle sat next to Grace and watched as Rumple and Arya stood face to face. Rumple grinned and said "so what do you want to learn first?"

Arya smiled then opened her mouth to speak but noting came out. Her smile faded then she finally said "I have no idea".

Rumple laughed and said "well let's begin with simple spells". Rumple walked over to the middle of the garden and Arya followed him. When they were standing face to face again Rumple said "first lesson: Levitation"

Arya gave him a weird look and said "what's that?"

"Levitation is where you can take things of the ground and hold them in the air".

She smiled and said "like flying?"

He laughed and said "yes just like flying"

"Can we levitate ourselves?"

He shook his head and said "no. That is what transportation is for".

For weeks, they did their lessons and ever so often Grace would miss her extra lesson on realms to watch Arya learn magic. Arya learned magic faster than anyone expected and they assumed that due to the Ketsia power she would instantly get it. Everyone in town started to get use to the family but they were wary of how much power the child of Rumpelstiltskin could have.

Like every other week, Jefferson was taking Grace somewhere for some father Daughter bonding time. At the same time Belle, Rumple and Arya went to the diner. Their food had just arrived and even though everyone in the diner was staring they didn't care. Arya had a smile on her face then it disappeared when the diner opened to reveal Regina. Regina walked towards the family and said "we need to talk".

Before anyone could say anything Granny said "everybody up, I'm going to have to close up".

"We can be civil".

Arya grinned and said "like that could ever happen with you".

Regina glared at her and Rumple said "what do you want?"

Regina said "we may have a slight problem".

"And what's that?"

"Cora. She's here" Belle had her arm wrapped around Arya's waist and when Regina said Cora she tensed up and Regina noticed. She then said with a smile "I see my mother's reputation presides her".

Arya looked between all the adults and said "who's Cora?"

Rumple looked at his daughter and said "someone you'll never meet" he then looked at Regina and said "how can she be here? She's supposed to be dead".

Regina lost the smile and said "well you taught her well...I don't know how she got here; she must have found a way through because she wasn't here before".

"Still I don't see how this is my problem. You're the one who tried to kill her".

She smiled and said "are you forgetting what happened last time?"

"I won in the end".

"That's not how she told me" she looked at Arya and said "besides, this time you're not alone...this time you have a weakness".

Regina smiled as she said weakness and it made Arya mad. The ground started to shake and Arya just looked at Regina while everyone else in the diner was looking around. Rumple was trying to calm Arya down but it seemed like she was in a trance and couldn't hear anyone.

She suddenly snapped out of the trance but collapsed to the floor. Everyone in the diner watched, while Rumple and Belle ran to Arya. Regina stepped back as she didn't know what was going on. Rumple took Belle and Arya's hand and transported the three of them to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Whale got Arya into a wheelchair and wheeled her off to a room, while Belle and Rumple followed. They explained what happened to Whale, and then he ran some tests on Arya. Half an hour later, Whale told the parents to get some coffee to explain to them what's going on. While they got coffee, Hatter and Grace walked in and said "what's wrong with Arya?"

Belle looked at them and said "Whale was just about to explain?"

They all looked at Whale then he said "well its quit simple...the problem is Magic".

Hatter narrowed his eyes and said "how can magic be a problem? Especially for Arya"

"Yes I know Arya is a Ketsia but that's the problem. In the other land I research magic and I was very intrigued with the Ketsia. The Ketsia children as you might well know got their powers when they reached an age of where they understood it".

Rumple said "yes we know all of this, just tell us".

"The Ketsia children all got their powers at 13 or 14...Arya is eight. With Arya having the power at such a young age, she can't control her emotions, which lead to what you saw before".

Hatter asked "what happened before?"

Belle said "Arya caused the earthquake" Grace eyes went wide open as she didn't know Arya could do that.

Rumple then said "how do we stop this from happening again?"

Whale said "well because she can't stop being a Ketsia, she has to learn how to control her emotions. Her emotions are the key to the outbreak, control them and she won't end up in here again".

While they were talking to Whale, back in Arya's room she woke up and a woman was stood there. She said "who are you?"

The woman smiled and said "I'm Nurse Smith but you can call me Morgan if you like".

Arya gave her a small smile "Nice to meet you, Morgan".

Morgana said "nice to meet you too".

Arya gave her a confused look and she said "do you know who I am?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Most people don't think it's good to meet me. They're scared of me and my family".

"Well I've only ever heard stories so I can't judge from what other people have said. Besides, you seem sweet".

Arya smiled and said "thanks...you wouldn't happen to know where my family are would you?"

"Their talking to Doctor Whale, I'm sure there'll be back real soon" Morgan walked towards the door then said "goodbye Arya".

"Bye Morgan".

Arya breathed a sign of relief but then the door opened again but this time an old woman walked in and said "hello Arya, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you".

"Who are you?"

The woman smiled and said "I'm Cora". Cora smiled wickedly while Arya had a worried look on her face.
