A Twisted Tale (Once Upon a Time Fanfic)

Strange Meeting

As they drove through town, they were happy to see things back to normal. As Emma parked her yellow bug, David started to panic.

"What if Mr. Gold doesn't have anything to help my pain. My grieving heart." He asked Emma.

"If he doesn't, he'll recommend something else or to someone who can help. We'll figure out something to help your pain." She said assuringly.

David nodded and got out of the car. They entered the Antique Shop and they were both surprised to not be greeted by Mr. Gold right away. Instead, they saw a young woman sitting at the front counter goofing off.

"Umm... Excuse me? Where's Mr. Gold? We'd like to speak with him privately." Emma said unsure how this young woman would respond.

"He'll should be back any minute. Gold didn't tell me where he went, so all I know is that he'll be back soon." She said. "Is there anything that I can help you with"

"No, thank you. We need something in specific that only Mr. Gold can get for us." David replied.

"Gotcha. I assume that you two know Gold? I'm new here, so I'm still getting familiar with everyone. I'm Mina and Gold's business partner." She said as she leaned forward over the counter.

"I'm David and this is my daughter, Emma." David said out of politeness, but it was easy to see that he was anxious. Emma noticed that there was something off with Mina, which would be fitting since Mr. Gold is just as off as she was.
