Cell Block Tango(D.N)

Love At First Fight

I see a carriage in the distance. The Queen. I look at a tree and take a leaf and throw it at it. It cuts it from the stem and it falls to the ground. I can hear it coming and jump up onto a tree. I stay in a crouched position with my hood covering my mouth and head.

It stops. "HALT!" a man steps out the carriage. "Worry not it's but a fallen tree." I jump over to the tree by the carriage.

I shift your weight so you don't make a sound and shake the carriage. I inhale and jump from the tree. I land gracefully on the carriage and exhale through my mouth.

I swing down from the top. I grab the jewels on the seat as the princess yells. I jump on the carriage and hop onto a branch.

"STOP!"

I jump through the trees trying to get away from the prince. I don't see him anymore and jump down landing on my feet. I laugh obnoxiously "Khi 1 Prince 0-" i get tackled to the ground.

I groan in pain. "Motherfucker!" he grabs me by my arms hold them above my head. "Show yourself you coward." he removes my hood before he raises his fist to hit me. He stops and looks at me."You're a...girl." "You're...observant." I punch him in the jaw. I get up and jump on his horse.

"WHEREVER YOU ARE I WILL FIND YOU!" "THANKS FOR THE HORSE!" I shout back.

I make it back to Snow and jump off the. I pet the horse. "Head back, buddy." He does as I say. "We are going to be eating good tonight." I say shaking the bag of jewels. "What would I do without you?"

"Youd die." I state. "I'm sorry what we're we talking about again?" "I was telling you if we entered an apocalyptic era you'd die." I answer. "I'm kinda morbid. My roommates forcing me to go to the hospital tomorrow with her and Ms Blanchards class." "yes you're Summer's guardian." "I prefer adult roommate. I wouldn't have let the kid in if she didn't already spend 99% of the time at my house anyway. I mean she's kind of like my best friend. That's weird being 25 with a 14 year old best friend." I say chuckling to myself. I look over at him and his eyes are looking down.

I snap my fingers. He looks at me. "Sorry, yes?" "My eyes are up here." "What?" he says with a chuckle. I lean in a bit. "If you just wanted to fuck just say that. It would've made saying no to you so much more satisfying." I state. "Ruby!" "The bills on him." I stand up grabbing my jacket. "Ki- kiara!" "fuck off doc." I flip him off and walk out the door.

I walk down the street. I light a cigarette and inhale the smoke. I see a familiar yellow car. I walk toward the car and see my blonde haired friend. "Whatcha doin'?" I ask. "Oh in the world of tight spots I've been in crashing in my car doesn't even rank in the top 10." "you're sleeping in your car?" I ask.

"Till I find a place." "I knew you'd listen to me. I'm like yoda." I say proudly. "Yeah I guess." She gets out of the car. "This town doesn't seem to have many vacancies. None actually. Is that normal?" she asks. "Must be the curse." I state. "Why are you out so late?" "Went out on a date?" her eyes widen. "He wouldn't stop asking and I thought what the hell nothing else better to do on a Thursday night." I state. "From the looks of things it went well." "I'm smoking weed so hell yeah." I confess.

I show her the bud. "Tell me he at least paid?" "I dine and dashed." She winces. "Hey if love was easy wed all have it." I state. "You know if you ever wanna move out of your little shack I have a condo." She looks at me. "I've been working since I was kid saved up enough and work a lot." I explain.

"Thanks. I'm not really the roommate type. It's just not my thing." "okay. Just a suggestion but hey you know where to find me if you change your mind Swan. With you there me and you would make a full white person." She chuckles shaking her head. "Night!" I say walk away. I inhale the smoke and blow it out.

I lean on the wall on my phone. "Get off your phone." I look down and see Henry. "I'm taller than you and older you don't tell me what to do. I'm only here because Summer couldn't be." I say uninterested. "Please." He gives me a pleading look. I sigh and put my phone up. "Come on."

I place some flowers on a table. I look over at a room where a coma patient is. I see Henry inside. I walk in and he reaches for the man's face. "Don't." he looks at me and pulls his hand away. "Youre the one who told me to help out no breaks bud." I state. "Is Mr Doe going to be okay, Kia?" he asks. I snicker "his names not John Doe. That's what the hospital calls people who can't be identified." I explain. "Do you know who he is?" I walk closer to him and look at his face.

"No. I would never forget a face like that." I say getting lost in thought. He's probably the most handsome man I've seen in my life. I shake my head and remember Henry. He's grinning. "Boy what you smilin' about it? Come on." he chuckles.

I mess up his hair and look back at the John Doe as we walk out. I'm met with the glass wall. I hold my nose. I groan. "Motherfucker!" Mary Margaret walks over to me. "Are you okay?" "Yeah. Ahhh I'm fine." I say shaking my head. "That was embarrassing." I mutter.

I sit on my couch with Emma looking at her confused. "He thinks me and him..." "he has a very active imagination." she states. "I can't talk him out of his beliefs. So we need to show him. Play along do what he says and then maybe just maybe..." "he'll see fantasy for what it is." I state. "You know maybe instead of trying to break his spirit, you should maybe help he sees it better," I take a hit on my blunt. "Shockingly this plan is foolproof. I mean he might lose some faith but no harm done."

"I told him that we will meet tomorrow for breakfast at Grannys and you will give a full report." "you're so lucky I have enough vacation time to last me a year and a half," I put out my cigarette. "Time to get ready for my date."

I sit on his hospital bed. "Okay, I know this is weird but I'm doing this for a friend so bear with me." I open the book and start reading. "As the prince chased the thief on horseback through the treacherous forest his betrothal crossed her arms and pouted wondering how many dreadful boring minutes it would take until they could resume their journey again. The thief jumped through trees like lightning but the prince was like thunder as he galloped after her on his steed... Periodt!" I add with a smirk

"They didn't need words to express what they felt in their hearts. For it was here in the shadow of the Troll Bridge that their love was born. For they knew no matter how they were separated they would always-" I gasp as I feel his hand on mine.
"What the fuck..."

I walk Dr. Whale back to the room. "I'm not crazy he's waking up. He- he grabbed my hand." I state. He checks AKG. "Everything steady. Same as it's always been. What were you doing in here?" "I was reading to 'im. I mean they can hear everything right?" I say with a slight laugh.

"Well, perhaps you dozed off." "I have CWS. I don't dream." I say honestly. "Perhaps you imagined it." "I imagined a white man grabbing my hand." I repeat. "Kiara I can only tell you what I see which is nothing. Sometimes there are minor fluctuations in readings. Perhaps you heard the machine register something and misunderstood."

I decide to let it go. "You're right. I'll go home and sleep it off. Good night...Dr. Whale." I turn around. This mothafucka must think I'm stupid. Do I look dumb to you? No. That's what I thought. I go into my room and continue reading.
