[Chapter 15] New Allies, Old Friends

"What? No. Her name is Tarza."

"Really?!"

"Well, that's what it says on this storybook, but I'm guessing you know this girl."

"Of course, David and I have met her in the Enchanted Forest on more than one occasion. She told us her name was Melody."

"Well, who is this girl then?"

~Snow and Charming's Flashback~

"Snow, hold on!!" Charming yells while he tries to catch up with his wife. Snow was very eager to find a way to reverse the curse Regina had threaten them with a couple months before. "For a pregnant woman, you sure do move fast."

"I have no other choice. We need to find a way to defeat Regina. I can't risk the safety of us nor our baby," Snow responds.

"But, if we just rush through things, we'll never find the answers we're looking for." Charming manages to catch up with Snow and grabs her arm to stop in her tracks.

Snow sighs. "This is all too much. I just wish we weren't in this position."

"I know, Snow, but we are. And now, we have to make things right again. So, let's just take things slow and eventually and answer will come to us."

"Let's just hope it's doesn't bring trouble like Maleficent, Ursula, and Cruella did."

The young couple continue in on their trail, yet again. After recent encounters on trying to stop Regina from enacting the curse, the Charmings are basically hoping a miracle can happen. After many failed attempts at succeeding, their hope is quickly diminishing. They have tried every action that was given to them but with no success. Now, they fear that they will lose everything they love.

As they walk through an unknown trail, the heroes did not realize a pair of eyes watching their every move. Looking around at her surroundings, Snow realizes something was off. Whether it was the pregnancy or not, she could feel something was off. She stops in front of her husband and looks around.

"What's wrong, Snow?" he husband asks.

"Somethings wrong. It's too quite here. I've been in many situations like this to realize that something is coming right at us," Snow responds.

With that, Charming wields his sword, shielding his wife from any threat coming their way. "Who's out there?! Show yourself, Coward!!"

Before the two of them had time to react, they immediately felt a strange sensation enveloping them. In an instant, they were completely unable to move, merely frozen in place. Panic quickly rose between the two of them. Were they caught in one of Regina's trap? Did they fail their mission?

Finally, they both see a figure walking towards them. The figure wore a rather long purple cloak, which shielded their face obstructing anyone's view to their face. The figures arm was held out towards them, and the Charmings could notice a purple aura, similar to the magic used against them, was emitting from their hand. Before the couple could ask any questions, the figure removes their hood, revealing their identity. Right in front of Snow and Charming, a young girl stood in front of them. The young girl's face was a cross between looking menacing and worried as she continued to use her magic on the duo.

"Who are you? How did you find me?" she asks.

Fortunately, though they were frozen in place, Snow and Charming were still able to speak. "L-Look, we didn't mean to startle you. We were only passing through. My name is Snow White and this is my husband Princ-"
