I Wish: The Dark in my Light Heart

Goodbye Henry

(Molly's POV)

Darkness, darkness is all that fills my mind.  Right now it is just too powerful to control.  I feel the darkness trying to steer me toward the girl, to kill her.  But I know that just will hurt Henry and the rest of my family.  Henry and the rest of my family may have betrayed me but I still love them.  I need to get away from Henry so I don't hurt him or his girlfriend, even if I want to. 

I take one last look at him as he drops the girls hand, he looks like he was about to say something but I take off running toward the forest before I can hear anything escape from his lips.  I run as fast as my legs can carry me, I hear footsteps behind me knowing it is Henry's, and only Henry's since there are only one pair of feet.  I run down the street past Granny's and Dr. Hopper's office.  I see Dr. Hopper walking out of his office as I run around him before I run into him.

"Molly, wait what's wrong?" Dr. Hopper yells behind me.

"It's fine, she found her and now she is mad.  I will get her everything will be okay," Henry yells behind him to Dr. Hopper.

I make a sharp turn running down an alley near Any Given Sundae. I run behind the shop, jumping over the fence into a small clearing near the power plant.  I take a deep breathe steading myself leaning on the wall.  Why is he chasing me if he has a girlfriend already? That low life, to good girl who makes goo goo eyes at my true love.  I guess we weren't true love, it was just the trick of the moment.  He is probably following me to capture me to look like a hero in front of his girlfriend.  Yes that is what he wants to do, he wants to make up to the heroes from when he destroyed magic, if Emma didn't help bring it back this would be a whole different story.  He wants to be the hero who defeats the beast. Henry opens the fence gate stepping inside staying a far distance between me, beginning to step closer to me one hand out.

"Molly calm down.  It's okay," Henry says to me.

"No! It's not okay! You betrayed me, than ran off with your girlfriend," I yell at him.

"Violet is not my girlfriend," Henry states, yet his eyes say something different.

"You mean the girl you destroyed magic with" I yell back at him anger rising in my veins.

"Yes, I mean no.  Molly that was a mistake that I regretted all of my life," he says stepping closer to me.

"You know nothing of regret," I sneer stepping back into the wall as he takes a few steps toward me, he is now a few feet in front of me.

"I know what regret feels like, maybe not as much as other people but, now I am trying to make up for that mistake," he says.

"IS THAT WHAT YOUR DOING NOW? BEING THE HERO WHO DEFEATS THE BEAST!" I shout as I turn to run.

"You're not a beast Molly," he says as I run away from him.

I run out of the clearing toward the forest.  I run past Gold's shop, catching his eye as I run.  He sees Henry running after me.  I keep running passing the bakery, the library, Emma and Hook's house they are moving into.  I get into the forest thinking I lost Henry, when I trip over a log.  I turn around to get up but Henry is already above me. 

"Molly please, I can explain," he says panting.

"I already know, there is no explaining needed.  You gave up on me and went to Violet.  You are now trying to capture me to look like a hero! Well you know what Henry what have you ever done to be a hero.  All you do is get kidnapped, destroy magic, and get people hurt! Emma almost turned dark when you were younger cause you let Cruella capture you! You are to weak, you are to trusting, you need to snap out of that before you hurt anyone else!" I scream at him letting my dark side get the best of me.

A look of hurt is on his face, "Molly you don't mean that."

"See what I mean, you never take anything seriously! If someone says something bad about you, you just assume they don't mean it! Well Henry I do mean it!"

Henry frowns more, "Molly you aren't thinking straight.  You are letting the darkness take over."

"I am thinking straight Henry, I may be letting the darkness come but everything I say is true, I could promise you that," I growl.

"Molly, please," he whispers trying to get through.

"Goodbye Henry," I say wickedly as I disappear out of his sight.
