Annabeth was worried. The team was getting smaller and Mr Gold was getting stronger and angrier as the days went on. With Belle, Regina, Piper and Nico out and Ashley hidden in isolation, there were less people arriving at the meeting as they all had to prepare. This time, it was at Granny's again and Rachel, Percy, Annabeth, Jason and Hazel arrived to see only Emma, David, Mary Margaret and of course Granny.
"Glad you came." smiled Mary Margaret.
"Yeah." said Annabeth.
"Where's the rest of you?" asked Emma.
"Frank and Leo are with Henry at the library and Alabaster and Will are at the Sorcerer's mansion. We need all the knowledge we can get and it just didn't feel safe with August and Henry going to separate places alone." said Percy.
"So how are you guys fitting in with Storybrooke?" asked Mary Margaret.
"Better than we expected," said Jason. "It still feels weird to be knowing that whenever we see someone it could be one of our childhood fairy tale characters. While walking here we saw a blonde girl and we had an argument whether it was Rapunzel or Goldilocks."
"Probably Goldilocks, Rapunzel didn't come in by the curse." said David.
"In your face Jason!" said Percy.
"Ugh." sighed Jason.
"So where is Killian? I thought he was coming." asked Hazel.
"Killian is at the docks on the Jolly Roger with his crew to scout about the waters around Storybrooke. Last minute change." said Emma.
"Just a suggestion, why can't we ask for another prophecy again?" asked Granny.
"Here it seems like only when the prophecy is complete I can ask another one." replied Rachel.
"I see, anyone want a Granny special? On the house."
"Me!" everyone said and she got the food ready.
"This is great, Granny." said Hazel. "Ruby must be proud to have a grandmother like you."
"I hope so, I have been quite harsh in the past. Red was always a curious kid and her werewolf form changed her life completely."
"How did you handle your werewolf form?" asked Annabeth.
"Oh, it's a long story."
"We don't mind." said Percy. "We need a little story with what's going on."
"Yes Granny." said Mary Margaret. "I never heard of it myself."
"Oh, alright." laughed Granny. "It was a long time ago when I embraced my werewolf form. I was trying to learn how to control it when hunters tracked me down and tried to kill me. Suddenly, a divine entity seemed to surround me. It seemed time was moving slow and a woman with the essence of the moon but the heart of a wolf approached me and taught me all the skills I needed."
"What happened to the hunters?" asked Hazel.
"Dead, young one. By my teeth."
"Uhhh."
"Sorry I had to bring that up, kids, that's enough for you now. Hot chocolate?"
Annabeth was wondering about the entity. Who was she? Why did she seem so familiar?
