Once Upon A Time Imagines

The Shapeshifter [Part 1]

Your Pov

How did I ever end up in this family surrounded by people who don't understand what personal space is and think that they can go into my room whenever they want? God it's so annoying sometimes I think it might have been easier to run away with my brother, but instead, I had to stay and ended up in an orphanage and then into this stupid family.

Sometimes I just want to run away and find my brother but I know as soon as he finds out I ran from a warm home that put a roof over my head, gave me a warm bed, and food he would yell at me for being an idiot and tell me I could've gotten hurt.

"Y/n!" I heard Ashley my adoptive mother call for me.

"What?" I hollered back

"Dinner time, I already have food on the table."

"Okay I'm coming, I'll be down in a minute," I told her. I went downstairs then went to the table and sat down. They grabbed each other's hands to pray and looked at me to also grab their hands I reluctantly grabbed their hands so I could eat sooner they prayed and then started to eat.  About 30 minutes later we finished eating and I went up to my room then not even 5 minutes later Ashley came in and told me they were watching a movie.

"Can you leave?" I asked her

"What? Why?" she asked confused as to why I'd ask her to leave.

"Simple, I like to have this thing called personal space, and you're invading it by being in my room," I told her blandly not expecting what happened next.

"This is my house young lady and I will go where ever I want if you were a part of this family you might understand that!" She yelled at me then the look on her face went from anger to regret "Y/n I'm sorry I-" I interrupted her

"Save it. If you think I'm not a part of your family then I guess I should just leave so I'm no longer your problem." and with that, I started to pack up a couple of books and some clothes into my backpack while putting a couple of things into my satchel like a notebook for writing, the notebook I use for random doodles and a couple of random pencils I closed my satchel then walked over to the nightstand and grabbed my pocketknife and heard a gasp come from behind me I'm guessing it came from Ashley. I grabbed my bags and left the room only to have my arm grabbed by Ashley.

"Where do you think you're going? I didn't tell you you could leave."

"Well I don't know about you but it looks like I'm leaving this place." I sased her. Which was probably a mistake

"Don't sas me young lady and you aren't going anywhere." She said tightening her grip on my arm it was starting to hurt and I'm sure it's going to leave a mark. I kicked her and she let go then I ran downstairs and out the door then down the street into the woods.  As soon as I knew they wouldn't find me I broke down and started crying and mentally cursing myself because I knew my brother was going to yell at me once I found him. Then I felt a cold breeze and I pulled a f/c (favorite color) jacket out of my bag and put it on.  I looked up and saw two yellow glowing eyes staring back at my e/c (eye color) ones. I would like to say I was brave and didn't even care but I screamed like a little girl and tried to get up to run but this thing grabbed my arm and started... flying... no that's impossible... right?

Well, whatever it was doing I was no longer on the ground and my screams died down as I was holding on for dear life. I finally got the courage to look away from the creature and saw a beautiful island but it looked too perfect to not have some sort of monster or demon lurking about.

The creature which I now see is a... shadow can this day get any weirder? How is there a shadow and it not attached to anything? then this shadow creature had the audacity to drop me onto the beach without warning and I landed badly on my leg and it hurt a lot. I looked around and saw someone on the edge of the woods and if they were trying to hide they did a very bad job of it.
