Once Upon A Time Travel

Chapter 7:Jack Comforts Mary

Mary's P.O.V.
It's been an entire day since Mike disappeared. I haven't said a word the entire time. I've been in shock. My brother, My BROTHER, turned evil. My entire life we always thought I would be the one to fall to darkness, but no it was Mike. I've always had Mike by my side to keep me from doing something stupid, like killing someone over a book, until now.
It's probably a good thing that I'm in shock. At least this way I won't turn into Bloody Mary every time someone brings up Mike. Normally he will calm me down or hold me back, but he can't do that when he's not here.
I've been passing the time by trying to understand what happened, reading, and listening to the others through the door. I've locked myself in the room Granny is letting me stay in - the others have there own rooms to - in fear or hurting everyone when reality hits. I still haven't cried.
From what I've heard, Robin just left story brook with 'Marian'. Its been hard on Regina and Raven, but Raven can't talk to anyone from this time about it. We (as in teens from the future) all know what's going to happen next: my mom is going to force my dad to cross the town line and I can't be there when it happens.

"Mary?" I hear Raven's voice through the door, "You need to come out and talk about this. Locking yourself away won't fix anything." I don't answer. I don't even move. A new voice joins her. One I haven't heard the entire time I've been here. "Mary," its my mothers voice, "I know we don't really know each other, but, um, you need to come out." I still don't reply. "At least get something to eat," she continues. Nothing. Its not that I don't want to reply, I just can't.
I hear a set of foot steps walk away followed by a whooshing sound.

Raven's P.O.V.
I teleport me and Jack, who had remained silent this whole time, into Mary's room. I know I shouldn't be teleporting in uninvited, much less bringing a boy in here, even if it is the one she has a crush on.
I've had a hunch that he likes her to and this would be my chance to see if I'm right. They've obviously liked each other for some time now, the huge give away is the play fights they subconsciously have.
"Mary?" Jack asks. No response. "Mary please," I say, " talk to us."
I see a single tear fall down her cheek. We watch her stand, and for a second I think she's going to talk, but she just walks over to the window seal and sits down. After a few seconds she opens her mouth. "Just go away."
I sigh as I walk over to the door. I unlock the door and start walking out, but halfway through the door I realize that Jack has not moved.
"Jack...?"
Nothing.
He just watches her as she silently cries, staring out the window. He looks like he wants to help her, but he doesn't know how. Realizing he's not going to come, I close the door and walk out.

Mary's P.O.V.
I hear the door close as I stare out the window and watch the clock on the clock tower tick away. I know Jack stayed, I can see his reflection in the window, but I don't pay much attention to it. I'm focused on the clock.
8:15
It feels like time is going in slow motion, or even stopped. But I know it hasn't because that one hand that counts away the seconds is still moving. Wasn't it 8:15 that the clock was stuck at?
I see him come over to me in the reflection of the room.
He starts talking to me.
It passes the 1....
I hear parts of what he says.
The 2....
It is completely clear what he says but it still sounds muffled.
3...
I barely catch the end, "... You need to talk about this or else..... Or else it's going to kill you from the inside."
4...
I take a deep breath.
5...
In...
6...
Out...
7...
"We made a deal," I say, my voice cracking, "to never fall to dark magic and break the tradition that our family seemed to have broken ."
8...
"I guess the tradition itself is a curse," I continue, "because now he's gone..... And now everyone's in danger." My vision starts to blur from all of the tears that I won't let escape.
9...
A few escape. Jack tries to comfort me, "Shh... No one's in danger..."
10...
"Yes they are, because Mike, the only person who can keep me from killing everyone, is evil!" I nearly shout, causing all of my prisoners to flee down my cheek.
11...
He wraps his arms around me, pulling me into a hug. "Well, I'll try to be a decent substitute," he whispers in my ear, " I promise."
It's 8:16....
