The Forest (Re-writing)

CHAPTER V - Hummingbird

After that conversation with Emma, Harper is arrested for violence and running away from the police. I tried to talk to her, but Regina took me and Violet to our house.

Violet and I are in the room, I'm in the window, holding my pen and she's my bed, looking at me. After some time in silence I talk. — Violet... I know it might sound crazy but should we trust her? — Violet looks confused and responds. — What? You're asking my opinion?

I nod and sit by her side. — Yeah... I want to know what are you thinking. — She smiles softly and looks at the window. — I'm not sure yet. You had more conversations with her than me. But from what you told me, she only looks confused.

— Do you think so? What about her reasons to want my powers? — I ask and She puts her hair behind her ear, and comments. — Henry, I'm the worst about those things. Do you really want to know about those things or there's something else?

I sight and she holds my hand. — Yes... I... The last time someone came to me asking my help was a guy called Peter Pan. He said that my heart is magic, the magic of the truest believer, he was right about thar. But then he said by giving my heart to him I would be a hero and save everyone. And I did give my heart to him. And you know what happened? I almost died.

I look at the brunette, looking back at me, listening word by word. — He tricked me. I thought for once I could be a hero. Not someone that's part of the group of heros because helps the actual heros. But no, it was a scam. — Violet sights, waiting for me to connect that history with my worries now. — That blonde over there in the station is putting a full responsibility in my shoulders. I'm finally the protagonist in this.

Violet smiles at me and holds my face, caressing my face softly. She says calm. — Of course you are Henry. You're a hero. My hero. — I smile back at her and talk again. She takes off her hand. — You know what's funny? I said to Grandpa David how I wanted to be back in the adventures. He said that we were fine, and then boom! A adventure showed up. — I smile and then sight. Violet then, puts her head in my shoulders. I continue. — I just... I want my family to trust me and not to just take over everything afraid of me getting hurt. I can do the right choice and help.

— So you want to do this things alone? — Violet asks with that sweet voice. I immediately respond. — Of course not. I could only fail alone. I just need so be helped, not just be the help. — She nods, letting me know she gets it, and I hug her. After some seconds I hear my door knot, and then Regina calling us for dinner. We get down stairs and walk to the dining room. We sit in the table and put our food.

— Thank you for having me for dinner, Ms. Mills. — Violet says before eating. Regina quickly responds. — Oh, that's fine, Violet. You're welcome anytime. And you've been dating Henry for 5 months, you can call me just Regina already. Now enjoy your food.

Yeah... Only five months in a relationship with Violet. We've met in Camelot, than continued talking here in Storybook. We match perfectly. We're so much alike, so it's easy to talk, it's actually magical. It was a little weird in the beginning, but after some time we noticed how we loved each other and everything looked more light. I love her.

After some time eating I decide to walk Violet home and come back walking. No need to use the bike, and I love to talk to her. As drop Violet at her house and start walking back home I see the police station and got intrigued, seeing the lights turning of and after some time Emma coming out of there. She looks at me a little surprised.

— Oh, hi, Kiddo. What are you doing in here?

— Hi, mom, nothing. I just walked Violet home and I'm coming back.
