Slaves of Two Kinds

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham nodded.

"I understand it will take some time. If it comes down to me or you I'd help you. I'm basically on borrowed time at this point. Until I get my heart back I'm as good as dead anyway. If I can help you it'll be worth it even if.."

He trailed off feeling uncomfortable. He didn't want to die. He wanted to recover his heart and live his life in the woods with Akela like he used to. Maybe track down his father again and live with him. But Regina had ruined those plans. Now he'd be lucky if he would see his father again. He paused seeing Minos was uneasy.

"She only took my heart because I failed her. She thinks you're stuck here in this maze so if you play along she won't take your heart and once you escape you'll be the free one. I'm a prisoner whether I'm in the castle or not." said Graham.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard her words, for now he saw that the Huntsman was right he would do as said for it played better to his gain than not to. "I will take your words into thought" How ever he feared that even beng free, he knew would be with Regina, how ever there was always hope that he would be. "I look forward to seeing how this plays out between use, perhaps we can be friends, but we will see"

Graham smiled and hoepd his new friend would one day be free again.

"I will find a way to free you. I'd miss you but at least you'd be free." said Graham.

He nodded as he listened to him.

"I hope we can be friends. But I want you to be free. You deserve it. I just wish I could free you now but I'll find a way. Somehow." said Graham.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

At his words Minos nodded "We will see what is to come & what is to be" He could not say what would be, yet he knew that only time would tell on what would be or what was to come. "Once I get freedom back, I will have more reason to savor it & enjoy it" He watched the Huntsman to see what he would say or do next.

Graham nodded unsure what to do next. He'd brought him his food but Regina didn't really need him for awhile. He smiled at him.

"Perhaps we could talk and hang out for a bit. Get to know each other. I don't have any friends here. It'd be nice to have someone to talk to. I know it may time for you to trust me but I'm no threat to you we both know that. I'd be dead before I could try anything and why would I? I'm not expecting us to be best friends right away but perhaps we could start with just talking." said Graham.

He paused before continuing.

"I never knew my birth family. My stepfather and mother were killed when I was a baby and I was raised by wolves. I recently found out my birth father's still alive. I met him once and he never knew about me. It was nice to finally meet him. I wish I could get to know him but I probably won't until I free my heart from Regina's clutches. What about you? Do you have a family or friends out there looking for you? Who might be worried about you?" asked Graham.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

The Minotaur listened to Grahams words he saw reason that he was right, there was no reason they could not speak at least on some matters "I have family, how ever I am sure they have quite looking for me or seeing me again, not that if it came down to it that Regina would not use them against me" He was not sure if she would or if he played his cards right she would leave them be, it was more a matter on what happened, somthing he could not see or know for sure who & he knew he could not call on anyone like Rumple for the man had broght him here & others he did not know if they could undo what was, so he would learn yo live here, bow to Regina & then later find his freedom, somthing that he would for sure savor more than ever before

Graham paused as he listened to him as he said he had family.

"Is your family safe? I mean could Regina get to them easily if she found out about them? If I knew where they were I could get send a warning to Princess Snow White and Prince James. They could make sure your family stayed safe from the queen." said Graham.

He couldn't undo Minos's spell or cure it but he was sure Snow and James would make sure the family was safe from the queen's wrath. He would just have to find a way to get it to them.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

He heard the Huntsmans words "I do not think many would be safe form her, if she set her sights on them" It was true, yet he did not know if Regina would do so "However my family is safe, for the time being" He watched the Huntsman as he waited to see what she would say "However I think, it would be nice to have someone keep an eye on them that I do not have to worry on them harming them" He meant it for he would not of said anything other wise.

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham nodded as he listened.

"You are correct. I doubt many are safe from her. The few that are on the run or in hiding. If only there was a way to stop her or at least get rid of her magic." said Graham.

He paused as Minos said it would be nice to have someone keep an eye on them.

"I shall send word to Snow White as soon as possible. Just let me know where they are at. Regina has her magic mirror and spies everywhere. It's only a matter of time before she finds it. At least Snow White and her allies could keep your family safe." said Graham.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

Minos felt his anger flicker as he moved to hit the wal, it moved a bit & he did not even feel it as any sign of pain "Very well, there are in a kingdom to the west of the Dark Ones kingdom it would be two kingdoms for the dark ones, to help you find them" He knew he might be trapped here, but with his family safe he would live with it until he died or somthing else happened.

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham nodded memorizing the information. He didn't keep anything written down afraid of Regina spying on him. He would just have to send word to Snow immediately. Regina he doubted would think he'd get anything out of Minos so she wouldn't supsect his involvement. Or at least he hoped.

"I'll tell them as quick as I can. Your family will be safe. I must remember to send word about my father as well. I don't want her using him against me." said Graham.

He paused glancing at the minotaur.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" asked Graham.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

Minos heard the Huntsmans words, he nodded lightly to them "I thank you for any help you can give, but right now I need nothing, at least that you can give to me" He would at least sleep with some comfort knowing his family was safe, he knew his life meant nothing now he was bound to be a slave, at least untill he lost his use & then he was not sure what would happen.

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham nodded listening to him.

"I shall alert them as soon as possible. So if you nad a family that means you were human once right? Did Regina curse you like this?" asked Graham.

Perhaps if she had he could try to look for a cure. Some potion or something he could use to change him back. Or seek out the Blue Fairy or Rumplestiltskin for help.

[Minotaur/Minos Matador]

At his words he spoke "I was once & Regina was not the one to curse me, not that I am she would not do so if given the chance" He did not know if that would be good to say who curse him, since it had been in many ways his own fault somthing he learned form & would not do so ever again.

Graham/Deputy Graham Humbert

Graham nodded. So Regina hadn't cursed him. And he frowned realizing it must have been Rumplestiltskin. They were the only two he knew who had this kind of power and would do such a thing. Well he had heard Regina speak of a dark fairy named Maleficent she considered her friend but he'd never met her. So it could be her as well. But if it was Rumplestiltskin perhaps he could get him to remove Minos's curse somehow.

"I'm sorry to hear that. But this curse must have an antidote or a cure. Did the one who turned you tell of you a way to break it?" asked Graham.
