A/N: I am extremely, and terribly, sorry this is so delayed. My computer wouldn't turn on, so I had to go get it fixed, school started, and mixed in with writer block… Yeah. Very very delayed. Written with the amazing Maddie Gymnast. Quick announcement, HENRY HAS A LOVE INTEREST! I am not even joking, this isn't a spoiler, it has real pictures! Go google Olivia Steele Falconer and Jared Gilmore, or Olivia Steele Falconer OUAT, and you should see results. There are pictures of Olivia and Jared Sitting, and her kissing him on the cheek! Olivia Steele Falconer is the actress. Her character's name is Violet, and she is the daughter of Sir Lionel. I assume she is the equivalent of Kayleigh, from The Quest for Camelot, because Sir Lionel was Kayleigh's father. She appears in the 5th episode of season 5, 'Dreamcatcher', and she will be a part of this story! Lily will have someone to look out for. Anyway, enjoy!
Rumple's POV
Ruber's men grabbed me and held me in front of him with my arms back.
"Take him to the cages." Ruber commanded his men.
They started dragging me.
Along the way, I saw Ruber's men. Men combined with weapons.
They threw me into a wooden cage.
I picked myself up and sat so my back was against a wall.
"Are you ok? Are you injured?" I heard a voice.
2 boys came out from the shadows. They looked to be about Henry's age.
"Yes. I'm fine." I said. "Thank you for your concern."
"So, you're his brother?"
"Apparently, yes."
"He's been looking for you for a long time now."
"What does he want?"
"Our father."
"Who is your father?"
"King Arthur."
Location: Camelot
Time: Present Day
Merida's POV
"Mother, it's been 4 days since father said he would return."
"I know. I'm worried something happened to them."
"So what are we going to do?"
"I say we go out and see what he's up to!"
We both turned around to see Sir Lionel, Sir Morgan, and Violet enter the room.
They all gave a humble curtsy.
"My Queen, the King has been gone for days, and rumors are spreading throughout the kingdom. We must go after him. He could be in grave danger." Sir Lionel said.
"I agree. Something must be done." Mother said.
"With your permission, your highness, I shall arrange a search party to head out in the morning."
"Very well Sir Lionel. I will go with you."
"Are you sure that's a wise decision?"
"Yes. I am going with you, and that is not up for discussion."
"Very well Milady. I shall go pack for the journey."
"I will meet you tomorrow morning at the stables."
"Then it is settled. Goodnight milady."
Sir Lionel kissed Mother's hand, then left.
"Well you heard him Merida. We should prepare for the journey."
I nodded and we made our way to each of our bedchambers to pack.
Violet's POV
I brought out my suitcase from the closet and blew off the layers of dust that had accumulated.
I opened it, then went to my closet to pick out some clothes.
I chose a few of my riding outfits, and one dress, just in case.
I brought them to my bed and started arranging them I the suitcase.
I didn't even notice father had come into the room.
"How's the packing coming along Violet?"
"Good father. I'm almost finished."
"Violet… I, have some, bad news. You, should sit down."
Father led me to sit on the edge of my bed.
"Violet, you aren't coming with us.."
"What? But father I'm surely old enough to accompany you on your journeys. I'm 15!"
"I know Violet, but this journey, is especially dangerous. We already lost your mother, and I can't lose you too."
Father had tears in his eyes, threatening to fall.
I hugged him, and he placed his chin into the crook in my neck.
"Alright father. I will stay."
"Thank you Violet…"
He pulled away from me and wiped his tears.
"Well I better prepare for the journey. Julius will be here to keep you company."
I nodded and he left the room.
I sat in bed.
I was disappointed I didn't get to come along for the journey, but I couldn't put father through that pain again.
I laid my head down on my pillow and stared at the canopy above my bed.
I fell asleep like that, thinking of mother.
"Julianna! Violet! I'm home!"
I heard father's voice from outside. He was home!
I ran outside and ran into his arms. He lifted me up and spun me around.
We were both laughing as he put me down and mother came from inside the house.
Father gave her a kiss.
"How is it on the battlefield?" Mother asked.
"Not good. The ogres are advancing on our land."
They both looked solemn for a second.
The 3 of us went inside the house and washed up for dinner.
Dinner was silent, no one speaking.
We put our plates away and mother began washing them.
"Violet, get ready for bed. Father will tuck you in."
I went to my room and changed into my sleeping wear.
I went over to my bed and settled into my sheets.
Father came from the kitchen and sat on the chair next to my bed.
He kissed my forehead.
"Goodnight Violet."
He turned to get up, but I grabbed his arm.
He turned back to me.
"Violet?-"
"Father, are the Ogres really-"
I was on the brink of tears.
He took me into his arms and held me on his lap.
"Violet, you don't have to fear the Ogres. The king's knights are taking care of them."
He placed me back in bed and pulled the covers over me.
He kissed me on the forehead once more.
"Now get some sleep if you want to accompany me on a journey one day. Goodnight Violet."
He turned my lamp off and went back into the kitchen with Mother.
3rd Person's POV
Lionel went over to bed where Juliana was already lying down.
He changed into his sleep wear and got into bed with her.
They were turned at opposite directions with their back to each other.
Julianna's voice broke the silence.
"Lionel, I heard you talking with Violet. You were lying weren't you."
They turned so they were facing each other.
"Yes. The Ogres are to be feared, and quickly advancing…"
"Is there anything you can do?"
"They are unstoppable. They should be at the main city in a few days' time."
"What are you going to do?"
"I will move you and Violet to a safe hold."
"And you?"
"I will lead the army."
"Be careful."
Lionel and Juliana gave a kiss before they both fell asleep.

The whole house was awoken with the ground shaking and loud screams heard.
Violet's POV
I woke up with a shock. The earth was shaking.
I immediately got up and ran into Mother and Father's room.
They were both awake as well.
Father took me into his arms.
"Daddy! What's happening!?" I said through tears.
The earth shook again.
"I don't know darling. Let me go see. I'll be back."
Father put me into Mother's arms and grabbed his sword.
I cried as my Mother comforted me.
We watched through the window as father daringly threatened the Ogre.
The Ogre gave a large yell and swung his giant arm at father.
"Lionel!" Mother screamed.
Father got back of and started slashing at the Ogre's legs.
The Ogre screamed in pain and grabbed father with his giant hands and held him in the air.
Father threw his sword and it stabbed the Ogre right in the eye.
The Ogre screamed and fell dead.
Father got out of the Ogre's grasp and ran to us.
We shared a three way hug, until a large manly yell was heard.
We turned and saw a man with sandy red hair.
"Ruber…" My father said under his breath.
He grabbed his sword and pointed it at him.
"Get behind me." Father told us.
Mother took me inside the house and shut the door.
"Come here and fight me like a man!" Ruber threatened.
"I'd like to see you try!" Father bravely shot back.
Ruber unsheathed his sword and pointed it at father.
"Very well then." He said.
They slowly stepped closer and closer to one another, until Ruber swung his sword at father.
Father deflected the blow.
Soon it became a full on sword fight, with them slashing at each other rapidly.
As me and Mother were watching them fight, I felt arms wrapping around my waist.
I screamed as I was pulled away from mother, who also had someone holding her.
The men brought us outside, and into father's view.
"No! Violet! Julianna!" Father screamed in agony.
We were stood next to Ruber, and he grabbed Mother and put a knife to her neck.
"No please!" Father screamed, being held back by Ruber's men.
"I'm sorry Lionel. I truly am, but this is the way it has to be…" Ruber said.
"I love you…" Mother said as Ruber slit her throat.
Me and father screamed.
The men released us, and I ran over to where mother was lying in a pool of her own blood.
Father held her in his arms.
"No…" He cried.
Ruber wickedly laughed and relished I his victory.
He and his men escaped under the cover of the night to the woods.
I awoke panting and sweating.
I had dreamed of mother.
Mother…
A/N: Sorry, that's it. I hope it satisfies you. Again, really sorry that this is delayed, I will try my hardest to update soon. Indigo out!
