Last chapter...

"May I ask a question?" Amerlyn asked her joking demeanor dropping almost immediately.

"Uh, yea sure." Cisco said unsure.

"What the hell happened in this building?"

~~~

"What the hell happened in this building?"

The two just stared at her in silence until she decided to break it. "Hey! I asked a question and I would love an answer."

"You-Your hair is on fire." Cisco who was hiding behind Caitlin, pointed at her hair.

"Okay, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm cool. I'm fine." She breathed in and out then smiled trying to prove her calmness but she failed at it since her eye was twitching. "Now, my answer."

"Two years ago , the particle accelerator, which was right under where you are at the moment, exploded and created metahumans. It killed many people, Just like many were injured." Caitlin started and Amie nodded. " It created killers, bad people, some may sa-"

"Villains!" Cisco exclaimed putting a finger up dramatically. Seeing the look they were both giving him he mumbled a quick apology.

Amerlyn shook her head and brought her attention back on Caitlin. "Continue."

She nodded. "As I said, it created many criminals. Some hell bent on revenge. But it also created a hero. The flash, speeds around the city saving people and catching those causing danger."

" I see. Now, what happened that made the flash boy so guarded? I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it is when someone is offering help, well making a good deal. What's up with the trust issues?" Amerlyn put her hand under her chin.

Cisco took a deep breath and started talking. " Harrison Wells, or should I say Eobard Thawne. The one that created star labs. He was flash's mentor, Our mentor. We thought the particle accelerator explosion was an accident but it was all according to his plan. It costed lives. Our loved ones lost their lives because of him. "

" Look, flash is a great guy. He's just been through a lot. " Caitlin tried to explain but it made Amerlyn chuckle.

" Everyone's been through something. Hell, I died and came back to life so many times. Last time was a sacrifice. I sacrificed myself to get rid of the dark one's powers. Just for it to go back to my father." They both looked concerned at the issues she presented. " I have many reasons to not trust anyone or even accept anyone and I'm sure you guys too but when innocent lives are at risk and someone is able to help you don't shut them out. You. Listen. You. Accept. "

A loud grumble of thunder was heard from outside as she became more and more frustrated. She had gotten up without realizing.

" Sorry." She sat back down and let out a breath smiling.

"It's...okay." Caitlin assured her.

" We got to get going. " Cisco said before realizing. "Sorry." He was talking about leaving her in a cell.

" I'm used to it." She just shrugged.

~~~

" What's going on, Cisco?" Barry asked as team flash was back at Star labs.

" The wraith is back."

~~~

It was the next day and Amerlyn Mills-Stiltskin was still in a cell. She hadn't moved much or talked. Some members feared that she might have died but of course no one went to check.

Upstairs, team flash was discussing what had happened yesterday and their next move.

" Barry, it's obvious that you can't beat it. " Iris started tired of the different plans he was trying to come up with. " This isn't your expertise."

" I know. That's why I need to train more and be sure of what do." Barry tried to explain himself.

" And for that you need someone to teach you. Someone that knows what to do. " Getting what she was trying to say his face hardened.

" No."

" Barry, Iris is right. We need her hel-"

" What we need is to think and make a plan." Barry cut Caitlin off(ugh this bitch).

" Son, as much as I hate to admit it, we need that girl's help. She knows much more than what Cisco could learn watching his movies." Cisco looked at Joe in offense.

Barry looked at the screen to see Amerlyn with closed eyes.

~~~

" I told you, you'd come back." Amerlyn said her eyes still closed feeling their presence.

Flash scowled at her. " I'm here to reconsider the deal you gave us yesterday."

" Oh really?" She raised her eyebrows.

" Yes. We..We need your help." Amerlyn laughed getting up and close to the glass.

" No, can't do." She looked straight into his eyes. " You see, " She licked her lips quickly. " Our deal expired."

" Since when does a deal, expire?" Joe asked clearly confused.

" What do you mean it's expired? You said you'll help us if we help you get home. Don't you wanna leave?" He exclaimed getting mad.

" Yeah but I've gotten quite used to this cell with such a pretty decor." She mocked looking around the cell.

" I knew we shouldn't have come down here." Flash scoffed as he went to close the door.

" But!" She exclaimed out of nowhere. " I can make an exception. The deal will be back on if you do me a favor."

" What?" He looked at her.

" Show yourself, flash. Tell me who you are." She looked at him eyes glowing.

He looked at Joe who nodded. " Fine."

With that he got his mask off stepping into the light. " My name is Barry Allen, and I'm the Flash."

She blinked a few times before booing. " Boo. It sucked ass. What a bad reveal. Anyways, I already knew just felt like doing this. Now, out."

" You are so annoying." He opened the door and she got out looking around as if she had never seen any of this.

" Let's go then."

~~~

"

So, what do we do to stop the wraith?" Iris asked her looking from a far.

" I don't know." She shrugged.

" What?" Cisco eyes widened.

" I don't know. How am I supposed to kill something dead?" She played with her earlobe as she sat down on the floor.

" Are you serious?" Caitlin asked seeing Barry getting mad.

" Nah. I know. I'm playing." She got up as Barry rolled his eyes. " I need to find who got marked."

" And how are you going to do that?" Allen crossed his arms pissed.

" A locator spell."

" A what?" The detective had heard many crazy things ever since the partical accelerator but this, this was crazy.

" A spell that founds others locati-"

" I know what you meant but how?" Joe cut her off.

" I need something of that person put the potion on it and It will lead us to them." She explained doing a opening motion as the inside of a cabinet appears out of nowhere.

" How the fuc-" Cisco started but was cut off.

" Magic." Amerlyn was the one that cut him off. " Alright. Moss from the north side of a tree, a moon stone and an owl's feather."

After taking out what she needed she shut it close and it disappeared. Cisco tried to open it but his hand went straight through it.

" Now what?" Barry asked looking at the ingredients.

She didn't respond with words but more with actions as she mixed everything together. " Now, the amulet."

" What Amulet?" Iris who had gotten closer to her asked.

" The one that marks the wraiths victims." She explained not looking up from the potion.

" Where do we find that?"

" Right here. With me." She made a glove appear on her hand and made the pendant appear right after.

" Woah. " Iris said in awe going in to touch it. Fortunately, Amie stopped her.

" Don't touch it with your bare hands unless you want to be the next victim."

" Sorry." Iris retracted her hand as she was let go. " So, now what happens?"

" We find the marked victim." She turns to Barry who was already looking at her. " So, fastest man alive, are you ready?"

He just nodded. " Let's go."

She put the potion on the pendant and it basically came to life and started flying away.

And so they ran, they ran until it stopped at jitters Infront of a barista.

" It's them." They got close to them.

" Hi, welcome to jitters, how can I help you?" A woman with black blue, pink and purple hair asked them.

" Uh, " Amie looked up as if she was gonna order for real. " I'll have a woman from the enchanted forest, marked by a wraith. Please."

The barista's eyes widened as she gulped.

~~~

" My name is Erin Smith." The lady introduced herself. " I'm 27 years old, here at least."

" What is your real name, Erin?" Amie asked a teasing tone at the end.

She sighed. " Tiana."

" Wait as in, princess and the frog, Tiana?" Barry questioned his eyes about to pop out.

" Yes but my story and the movie's storyline is quite different." Erin or Tiana looked down sadly.

" What happened to prince Naveen?" " How did you get marked?" Barry and Amie looked at eachother, Amie with more judgement.

" Naveen was the reason I was marked." She smiled bitterly.

~Flashback~

" Naveen!" A lady recognized to be Tiana screamed out to her lover. " Naveen, what's the meaning of this?"

" She's gonna find me." The man named Naveen panicked looking around for something.

" Who? Who is gonna find you?" She asked with a calming voice.

" Amiestiltskin." He looked at her in fear.

" What di-"

⏸️

" Wait, you're telling me he was wanted by Amiestiltskin?" Barry asked glaring at the girl who rolled her eyes. " Is he still alive?"

" I'm not sure." Tiana responded thinking that the question was towards her.

" No, he isn't alive. He was in debt, he was so desperate for love that he came to steal from my place. I left him off and made him swear on his life that he will pay me back. Years after, he sends me a letter insulting me and telling me he rather die than paying a witch like me." She rambled looking very annoyed. " I might use witchcraft but being called a witch hurts, man. Anyways, his stupid actions cost him his life, almost yours."

" Wait, you're..." Tiana realized who she was talking to.

" Right, I didn't present myself." She sat up straight. " I'm Amerlyn Mills-Stiltskin, daughter of The evil queen and The dark one, also known as the empress of darkness or Amiestiltskin."

" Your highness, I apologize, I didn't recognize you." Tiana bowed her head in respect.

" No need for all that. Now resume the story."

▶️

" What did you do to get involved with The Amiestiltskin?" Tiana glared at the man.

" Let's say our meeting wasn't coincidental." His careless words angered her.

" What are you talking about? Are you saying our relationship was planned? " She asked in disbelief, lowkey hurting.

" Yes, Tiana! " He screamed which made her glare. " But it doesn't mean that I don't love you, that I do."

" Okay. Why didn't you tell me before?" Tiana's face softened.

" Because I was scared. I was scared that you would leave me." He took her hand into his. " I I love you so much."

" And I l-love you too." She stuttered at the L word.

" We have to run. Are you willing to come with me?" Naveen looked at her in the eyes.

" Of course." She responded quickly.

" Let's go."

⏭️⏭️⏭️

After walking for 4 hours, they decided to take a break. Tiana went to get some water.

Naveen was staring down at an Amulet. The wraith's Amulet. Everything was going according to plan.

" Naveen." Tiana spoke disappointment laced her voice. " Don't tell me that is what I think it is."

" It isn't." Seeing her glare towards him he sighed. " It is."

" You're going to use that on Amiestiltskin?" She asked trying to forget the negative thoughts.

" Uh, yes?" He rolled his eyes. " No."

" Then, who is it for, Naveen?" He looked down not answering. " Is it for me?"

His silence answered her question.

" No. You were ready to use it on me?" She shook her head as tears filled her eyes.

" My life is on the line, Tiana! She wants me dead. A life for another." He exclaimed anger on his features.

" So, you decide to put my life in danger?" She screams back as angry tears fell.

He stared at her in all seriousness. " Yes."

She looked at him for a while before running away. And he followed.

They ran in the forest until he tripped her and marked her hand. A sizzle was heard as it glowed.

" Tiana, It was either you or me, my love. I have a life to live. I hope you can forgive me, one day, even in the after life." He caressed her face with a soft but mischievous smile.

" Never." She spat in his face and kicked him where the sun don't shine.

He groaned as she got up and left hearing the wraith coming.

She ran and ran before an older lady stopped her.

" What is happening, my dear? What are you running from?" She said holding her hand.

" A wraith." Tiana sobbed.

" Poor you." Hearing the roar of the spirit, she hurried and got something out of her pocket. A magic bean. " Take this. Just throw it and think about a land without magic, you'll be safe there."

" Really?"

" Yes, dear. Now, go and good luck." She shook her hand.

" Thank you. Thank you so much." Tiana exclaimed before throwing the bean.

" Always, mon chouchou." She said before laughing. It was mama Odie in a disguise. " Now, where is that boy."

~End of flashback~

" And then I arrived here." Tiana finished her story.

" Damn, I'm so glad I killed and tortured him." Amie said before taking a sip of her coffee.

Barry just looked at her.

" Okay, but what you're telling me is that the wraith is here?" She asked. " How?"

" That we don't know yet, what we do know is that it's here for you." Amie told her.

" That's why you should come to Star labs with us." Barry started. " You'll be safe there."

" Safe?" She looked at him like he was nothing.

" Yes, safe."

" You see, Allen over here is the flash. " Barry's eyes widened at the girl.

" Oh wow."

" Why would you tell her that? It's my secret identity. You can't be going around telling everyone." He was angered.

" Yeah yeah but I had to make her trust us. The fuck, we look like two random people, she needed to know that she was going to be somewhat safe with us, with assurance." They both rolled their eyes.

Tiana chuckled a bit. " So, do you guys know how to stop the wraith?"

They both looked towards Amerlyn. " I have a plan." She said before finishing her coffee.
