Unforgettable

Chapter 27

Storybrook

After about twenty minutes of being squished in that crate, I work up the courage to leave. I pop back off the lid as quietly as possible, then quickly climb out. I sniff myself and realise I smell like fish. What am I going to tell Mary Margaret and David? Their gonna freak when they find out I lied about where I was... I run back over to where I left my skateboard and go towards the forest.

I go to the forest and run around, attempting to get that foresty smell so Mary Margaret and David don't suspect anything. When I think I'm done, I exit the forest and head home.

I get home, and I open the door to see Emma, Mary Margaret and David talking. I go over to them, still wondering if I should inform them about the pirate and that other woman.

"What are you guys arguing about?" I ask them.

"It's a long story, why don't you have a seat..." Mary Margaret tells me, and I walk over to the couch and sit down.

"What'd I miss?" I ask again.

"Something happened..." Emma begins, and she takes a breath in. "Just don't tell Henry yet... we think Regina may have done something bad..."

"Bad? What do you mean?" I ask them, "I thought that she was trying to be better... for Henry."

"She was, I think she still may be." Mary Margaret informs me, "but we think she did something mean to another person."

"I may be ten, but you can tell me what she did." I inform them, it's always annoying when adults don't tell me the whole story.

"We think she killed someone..." Emma plainly tells me.

"Emma!" Mary Margaret exclaims, "we weren't going to tell her that much!"

"We were going to tell Henry that..." Emma replies, "their the same age, so I figured it'd be fine."

"She killed someone?!" I ask panicking, maybe now wouldn't be a good time to tell them about the ship either... "who was it?"

"Dr. Hopper," David explains. I didn't really know much about him... except that he was a psychologist.

"Bummer." I say, not really sure what else to say. What do you say when someone dies? "When are you going to tell Henry?"

"Tell me what?" Henry asks, walking in. He sets his backpack on the floor and looks at us sitting on the couch.

"Look kid, we have something to tell you." Emma informs him, "you better sit down."

A couple hours later

After Emma broke the news to Henry, they left the loft and went to Granny's. Mary Margaret and David also left, I think to go find Regina but I'm not sure. After they all left, I just walked around for a few minutes, to make sure they were gone. Then I grabbed my jacket again and walked out the door.

I accidentally left my skateboard at home, so I walked around town, taking my time. There aren't really a lot of people out and about right now so I kind of have the streets to myself. What's keeping me here? I walk towards the town line and see the yellow line draw across, separating us from reality. I remember what happened to one of the dwarves who tested if we could cross. He completely forgot his real self, I don't particularly want that to happen to me.

I walk away from the town line, I don't think I have to be be back at a specific time... I still want to know who the other person on the ship was, who the woman was. She seemed familiar, but I'm not sure from where. But I plan to find out where she's from.
