"soulmate"

chapter 3

“Okay so your captain hook, I would presume?” I pointed to his hand- or hook.

“Yes love, but you can call me Killian.” He says while holding a baby.

“Regina Mills.” I look from Killian and the baby towards her.

“The evil queen.” I say with raised eyebrows and a slight puzzled look.

“Indeed.” She says, sounding slightly shocked.

“Why are snow white and the evil queen in the same room and not going at each other’s throats?” “We made truce a long time ago.” “sure”

The next couple of minutes were the introductions of Zelena, Henry, Emma etc. “Are you okay?” Snow White asked.

“Okay wait, is this a joke.” They are being way to serious for my liking.

“Look I know it’s hard to believe- “henry says but I cut him off “what do you mean, hard. I’m in fairytale land.

“The enchanted forest.” Emma corrected.

“Same thing.” *This can’t be true. *

“how did you know that regina was the evil queen?” Emma asked with a puzzled face expression.

“I did a school project about her.” I shrug “the evil queen.” I clarify.

“What kind of school project?” Henry asks.

"We had to do this big project that was worth half of our grade in three different subjects. For English and history, you could choose if you wanted to do an essay or presentation and for art you had to make something inspired by the person you chose.”

“And you chose the evil queen, because-?” Killian asked, they were all staring at me like I was some kind of lunatic.

“Well, I didn’t really believe that the only reason she wanted to kill Snow White was because she wasn’t ‘the fairest of them all’ anymore.”

“Wait, so you made 3 whole projects about regina" Zelena asked.

“I mean, yeah basically.”

“How did you find information about me?”

“The internet.” I look at all of them with raised eyebrows.

“Ow- there was also a weird book.” It was like the moment I said that their brains exploded.

“What book?” Regina asked taking a step towards me. *This woman is going to be the death of me. * Taking a big gulp because I’m getting more nervous by the second, I answer,

“It was this old fairytale book.” I shrug.

“Do you remember what it was called?” Emma asks.

“Uuuhm.” I clear my throat in thought.

“Once upon a time.” I hear gasps, see raised eyebrows and confusion plastered on their faces.

“Where did you find it?” Henry asked as if it was a life-or-death situation.

I breath in deeply already getting bored of this conversation, which is totally one sided by the way. “Local library.” I shrug.

“I don’t think you realise the importance of that book.” Henry says *well he has an attitude. *

Everyone starts talking amongst each other.

While everyone was arguing and talking over each other Hana found her chance to take her phone from the table. She new she couldn’t run away, the guards would just drag her back in, so she decided to go scroll on TikTok. Yes, she might be addicted.

I open TikTok because whatever is happening here is way too boring. *What if I search them up?*

What she didn’t know is that the everything in the enchanted forest, Storybrooke, Hyperion Heights and her own home were scrambled up together into one phone.

"Regina mills" I mumble out loud, while typing it in google. As I scrolled through the search results, I found articles about Regina Mills being the mayor of a town called Storybrooke. The room grew tense, and I could feel everyone's eyes on me, waiting for my next move.

"Mayor, huh?" I say softly with a teasing undertone, while glancing up at Regina.

While she shakes her head I look back at my phone. “And bar owner of a place called Roni’s? Interesting combo.” I shrug going further with reading.

“How did you find, both?” Zelena asked, her British accent pushing through. “What do you mean, both?”

“They were my jobs in both Storybrooke and Hyperion Heights.” “Okay?” I say while looking up 

“Kind of a downgrade tho.” I begin reading again.

“That’s not her fault, we were cursed” Zelena says.

“Not what’s stood here.” Showing my phone and the article.

“Okay yes, Storybrooke was my fault.” Regina says, admitting defeat. She sits down probably thinking about what is happening. I can see that she isn’t proud of what she did. And from what I read it’s not something good.

I must have been staring at her too long, because all of a sudden we made eye contact. It felt like I was caught, so as soon as our eyes locked I looked away, scratching the back of my neck because I was getting uncomfortable in this whole situation.

“Oké well was nice chatting to all of you but I'm gonna go.” I slightly wave turning to walk away.

“Noooooo” they all shout in union.

“GEEZ, okay calm down.” I throw my arms in defeat. *I’m never gonna get out of here.* I see some of them looking at their hands while confusion spread across their faces, others looked at me as if I was god, or Beyonce. (I love Beyonce)

“Let me guess, some of you tried to use magic on me so that I couldn’t move any further, or something like that, and now that it didn’t work your worried.”

Everyone’s facial expression changed in a second after I said that, some were shocked, others were surprised but they for sure thought I was serious.

“Ow my god, I was joking. This is getting more problematic by the minute!”
