Chapter Text
'Wait, I don't understand..'
'You're in a land without magic, Belle. And I'm bringing it,.. magic is coming.'
'Why?' '
Why, because magic, is power.'
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that, Rumple", Jamie thinks to herself getting ready to switch out the last disk of Once Upon a Time season one for the first disk of season two. Lightning flashes so close outside of her bedroom window the crack of the thunder shakes the house, and knocks her autographed SDCC exclusive Regina Funko Pop figure to the ground. "Seriously? It's bad enough this storm knocked out the cable, half way through the season five premier might I add, now it's trying to destroy my OUaT collection. What's next?" As if to answer her question, another bolt of lightning strikes, this time causing the lights to flicker. "God, this storm's getting so bad, I half expect to see Zelena out there, and I really need to stop talking to myself out loud." Setting the figure back on the shelf (next to the equally signed, equally funko poppy Emma Swan), Jamie gets back to her computer just in time to see the cloud of magic engulf Snow and David, that's when all hell breaks loose. The last thing she sees, before blacking out, is her computer exploding from a bolt of lightning striking it.
Coming to, even though her eyes refuse to open at this moment, Jamie realizes two things: first, she can't hear the storm anymore, and second, whatever she's lying on doesn't feel like her bed, in fact it feels like asphalt. That gets her eyes to open, and she realizes she's lying in the middle of a sunlit road surrounded by forest. What happened? Last she remembered, she was inside on the mother of all stormy nights, now she's outside, in the middle of the street, in broad daylight! "what the... Where am I?" Trying to get her bearings, Jamie sees a sight that stops her heart cold. No, it's not the ominous purple cloud rolling her way, it's the sign between her and the cloud. The sign with three simple words written on it.
