The Docks (a Once Upon A Time Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8

Snow and David made Henry and Corey breakfast. Corey couldn't stop looking a the clock. It felt like every minute lasted an hour. Corey didn't want to eat, all she wanted to do was wait for her Dad at the docks. As each minute passed the excitement grew inside of her. She was restless and paced the room as Henry watched the T.V. Despite how t.vs, phones, and even dishwashers were like a new type of magic to her. She didn't care. All she wanted was her Dad.

David and Snow sat concerned at the kitchen table and watched Corey pace ....and pace...and pace. Finally Snow turned to David.

"David, I can't watch her pace the length of the room one more time. We have to get her outside. How about we take her on a tour of town and then when Emma calls me we'll head to the docks." Snow suggested desperately.

"That sounds like a good plan" David agreed. " Corey, how would you like to get a tour of town." Corey nodded. But although she had heard what David had said her mind was somewhere else. She continued to pace it was almost as though she couldn't stop pacing.

" Uhhh Corey?" She didn't respond to David's call. "Corey!" Corey was jolted into reality

" How about we take you on a tour of town" David said as he helped Snow put her coat on.

" Here you can wear this" Snow announced as she held up one of Emma's jackets. Corey put it on the jacket was slightly to big but Corey didn't mind. She glanced back at the clock. It felt like she had been pacing for hours but it was really only twenty-five minutes. She was aching to see her Father and have him hug her and tell her how much he missed her. But Henry had said that Emma and Neil left around six a.m She knew that the Jolly Roger could only go so fast and that they wouldn't be back with her father till almost dinner. It made her heart ache thinking about how long it would be before she saw him.

She followed Snow, David, and Henry through town. They stopped at the dinner and had hot chocolate which in Corey's opinion was one of the best things she ever tasted. But still nothing took her mind off of her father. They walked by the police station, the library, but finally they came by a thrift store. Something about the way Snow and David were trying not to draw attention to it wanted her to go in even more. She assumed it was her pirates urge for adventure that urged her to go inside.

" Can we go in there?" Corey asked. Snow's face turned white and David glanced at the store nervously. He leaned and whispered something to Snow. Together they nervously decided To go in.

The four of them headed toward the shop. Before Corey could open the door David stopped her

" Corey promise me that you won't talk to Mr. Gold. Just let us do the talking" he said Corey nodded then followed Snow, David, and Henry in. As she looked around the shop her eyes were drawn toward something on a stand. She slowly walked towards the mysterious thing on the stand but then she stopped in her tracks and let out a blood curdling scream. It was a hand on the stand and the ring on the hand was one she knew all to well.
