Once Upon a Time- Regina's daughter: Part 2

Jade

I feel so defeated when I wake up. I find that my hands are untied, so I try to make some bracelets with the string Juliet gave me. "Bracelets," I muttered to myself, "Bracelets. Juliet brought bracelets." I chant louder and louder, until I am overcome with maniacal laughter, then sobs. I'm laughing and crying and making bracelets. I fall asleep, and wake up cackling, screaming, crying, and I know the bracelets are saving my last bit of sanity.

And this becomes my life. Every day, laugh, scream, cry, make a bracelet, eat, sleep, repeat. I am starting to completely lose my mind. One day, after I have run out of string and started taking apart old bracelets to weave them again, Juliet comes down with some pasta.

"Oh look, no more string, I'll just collect these-"

"NO!" I scream. "NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO!!!"

"I'll just run to the craft store tomorrow and get more-"

"NOOOOO!"

She sets down the plate of pasta and leaves, taking my last bit of sanity with her. I scream and cry until I collapse into sleep.

I wake up, and it's dark. It must be night, I think. Juliet hasn't cleared away my dishes yet. I don't know what I'm doing when I use my fork to pick the lock. I step out of my cage and slowly creep up the stairs. I see Juliet's house for the first time. Immediately I spot the bracelets on the table. I grab them all and rush back to my cell, locking myself back in. I use the belt I found upstairs to tie myself to the bars of the cage, and start making bracelets. I stay like this for only about an hour before I stop breathing, and eventually I feel my heart stop, and I float towards the light.
