"Sometimes you have no choice but to choose the path of darkness Snow, it may be the only place you can get help from" she responded,

"Ah.... my father once told me that everything has a price in the world of magic and you have yours which means yours is...." the child said and Octavia smiled,

"Your father sounds like a wise man, he is right everything has a prince indeed" Octavia replied,

"You would make a perfect mother," the child said and Octavia's eyes sparkle as she got onto her horse,

"In this world hope is not a good thing, you always expect something but later only that expectation gets destroyed" she replied then rode off and the kid rode off after her.

While riding Octavia felt free as her hair blew with the wind and the little girl's eyes sparkled as she looked at her.

'Father" the child called out in her mind.

When Octavia reached the waterfall they stopped and she jumped on her horse then picked an apple and threw it to the kid and the little girl caught it.

"Nice catch," Octavia said,

"Thank you, your highness" Snow replied as Octavia sat under the tree and she went and look at the waterfall.

"Don't get too close Snow" she said,

"Don't worry I can swim" she replied,

"Okay," Octavia said as she braced back on the tree and looked at the girl playing with the water.

"If only I could have a little family," Octavia said to herself as she slept away by the tree and the child went and laid in her lap.

A little while after the little girl slept away and Michael came looking for them, when he saw them sleeping together he smiled.

"Well look at these two," he said,

"Where are they?" Cecile asked,

"Look they are sleeping" Michael responded as Cecile came.

"Let them be come on," Cecile said as she grabbed onto Michael's hand and took him back to the palace with her.

While Octavia was sleeping she remembered the cake and flung up but then saw the child sleeping.

"Snow..." she whispered and the child woke up,

"Is everything okay?" Snow asked,

"The cake, let's head back" she responded,

"Ah.... okay" Snow responded as Octavia lifted her up and placed her on the pony then they rode back to the palace.

When they arrived both of them got off and rushed into the castle and straight into the kitchen.

Octavia looked at the cake and realized she arrived just in time.

The queen took the cake out and placed it onto the cupboard then sighed.

"Thank god, it didn't burn," she said as she hugged the kid.

"You are nothing like my mother," the child said,

"Eh? I am sorry" Octavia replied then raised off of the child.

Snow smiled and hugged her back tightly,

"You are better than my real mom," she said and tears came to Octavia's eyes.

"Oh no... I am getting attached to this kid" she said to herself then patted Snow on her head.

"Come on let's icing the cake," Octavia said,

"Okay" Snow replied as she gathered the tools needed.

As they began icing the cake Liam came into the kitchen leaving his work.

"Don't you have work to do Liam?" Octavia asked,

"I want cake" he responded,

'Well it is chocolate icing so obviously, you would want don't worry I will be done in a few minutes" she said,

'Okay, I will wait and watch" he replied as he sat down and she lifted her right brow looking at him.

"Go on continue, the faster the better," he said,

"You really love to eat, this cake is not for you" she replied and he gasped,

"No fair," he said,

"Fair to me" she replied while whistling and Snow laughed.

'Meanie I want cake" he said and she smiled wickedly,

"What are you going to do for it?" she asked and he frowned then she laughed,

'Keep teasing me" he responded then she patted him on the head and continued her designing.

About 30 minutes later she finished then cut the cake the first slice went to Snow then the others barged into the kitchen.

"Wait you bloody turn, I came first, hungry bellies," Liam said and Octavia laughed as she gave him a piece of cake.

"Happy bro.....?" she asked as he ate,

"Yeah I love chocolate, don't complain it's your fault" he responded,

"I am going to take it back," she said,

"No you are not, just try" he replied and she laughed.

"Relax," she said as the others took too.

"Are you going to die today Octavia?" the guy in blue asked and her eyes widened.

"You okay there your highness?" Cassius asked and she smiled,

"I am fine" she responded.

"Guys I will be right back," she said as she saw a black aura surrounded her hand.

"Sure don't go too far" Liam replied as she left.

The queen went into her room and locked the door as her head started to ache and the darkness came out of her and surrounded her in a circle.

"The hell is happening?" she asked herself as a total opened and she saw people and a guy searching for his daughter but she could not see his face and she even saw people talking on little things, everything was more modernized.

"This is where the child is from, the modern meaning futuristic world," she said to herself and the portal closed back.

The girl felt her energy being drained out of her because of that but it was not the dark energy but the light.

'Oh no if I want to send her back, therefore, I might become pure darkness" she said to herself as her eyes turned black and she collapsed on the floor fainting.

A little while after Liam noticed that Octavia has not returned so he decided to go check on her, he knocked on her room door but there was no response and the door was locked.
