Astrid spoke up curiously, "So, you're telling me that the Evil Queen wants your heart? Honestly, I'm not even surprised."
David also asked, nodding to the vial in front of them, "And if we don't give in to her, she'll use that on everyone?"
Snow nodded, "Yes."
Regina knelt in front of the table outside of Granny's diner and examined the vial of clear, almost smoky-like, potion, "So, what is it?"
"She told me to figure it out, and that if we didn't give our hearts within twelve hours..." Snow explained, "She would use it on the whole town."
Emma went to reach for the potion but her hand started to shake badly again.
Astrid glanced at her sister, "You okay?"
"No, but I have an excuse. Haven't you heard?" Emma remarked, "The Evil Queen's trying to kill our parents."
"You said we were alive and well in your vision of the future." David began.
"The Oracle said things could, kind of, change as we went along," Emma explained, "But the only thing that was certain was that I died."
Astrid took the vial from Regina and examined it more closely, "Speaking of death, I think I know what this is."
Everyone looked over at the immortal teen as she stepped over to a nearby planted tree and let a drop of the potion fall onto the limb.
The plant instantly died just as quick as the drop landed on it.
"Whoa," Henry let out.
"What kind of potion is that?" David began.
Regina realized what it was as she spoke up, "It's not a potion. It's water."
"Huh. I knew it. Never trusted the stuff. Rum would never do that." Hook remarked.
"What kind of water?" Emma asked as she glanced from Regina to her twin.
"From the River of Lost Souls," Astrid further explained.
"Gold... She's working with Gold. He brought it back from the Underworld." Regina added, "And now, if you don't give her your hearts, she can destroy the whole town."
Astrid sighed, folding her arms lightly across her chest, "But it's not gonna bloody happen. Not as long as I'm around. Trust me."
