Just a heads up if you're sensitive to BLOOD and SWEARING, it comes up in this chapter!

Zoë eyes opened like a dart; she looked around the hall from where she was laying. Slowly, she got herself off the ground. An aching pain began to happen on the side of her head, something watery slid down her face. She touched her temples and observed her now bloody fingertips. There was a deafening ringing noise in her ear, it sounded like a never-ending bell. She focused her eyes across the hall, until she saw Barry on the floor with blood on his lips, cheek and nose. Quickly, she got up and ran towards Barry and sat at his side. He had a giant scar that started at his chin, worked its way up his lips and right cheek and onto the bridge of his nose. "Barry? BARRY?" She said as she started to continuously shake his body. He didn't wake up. Tears started to come down her eyes, as she pressed her nose against his chest. "Barry, please wake up. You're my only hope." She carried on tearing on his school shirt until she heard a groan. Slowly, she lifted her head and saw Barry's head twitch from side. His face was finally centred then he opened his eyes delicately. His hazel eyes looked full of mystery, as they were staring at Zoë. "Barry!" She said as she hugged him tightly, forgetting about the whole situation. He pushed her away quickly, but made sure not to injure her. "Oh sorry, I thought you were dead," she said, wiping her tears across her face. Barry got sat up and moved his legs into his torso. He looked feeble and unaware of the situation. Of course, Zoë came closer to comfort him when all of a sudden he grabbed her shirt and pulled it to his chest. "What have you done with me. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ZOË!" She began to panic, she didn't want to tell him the story. "I..I'm sorry Barry. I'll tell you the whole story. Just, please let go of me," she began to cry whilst Barry saw the fear in her eyes. He let unclenched his hand and got up. "So, are you gonna tell me or what?" Zoë was dreading this moment, but he was the only person to talk to. "We froze time in this land forever." Barry was confused "You WHAT?". "That watch, it freezes time. But only temporarily, maybe a couple of hours. I was gonna use it to revise for that science exam until you came and it malfunctioned and made it freeze time forever." Barry started to slowly stand up and walk towards the window. "So... You're telling me. That you, the most annoying girl of year 11, owns a watch which can freeze time and you used it today, but it malfunctioned and now we are in a world where everyone is frozen forever." Barry looked annoyed, he really just wanted the truth. "Bullshit. Bull fucking shit. I don't believe you." Zoë was about to add on to his points until Barry interrupted her "No, I don't want to hear it. I don't want you to tell me that you have magical powers which can bring people back from the dead or that you're friends with maleficent." Zoë began, "I'm not friends with maleficent and I can't bring people back from the dead. You were right about magic, I have some." Barry turned around, his face way annoyed. "The truth, Zoë." Demanded Barry, "That was the truth! I can tell you who my real parents are!" Barry put his hand in his face and slowly slid it down. "Ok, Zoë. I'm gonna play your game. So the world is frozen, how are we going to get it to unfreeze?" Zoë started to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth. "I... Can't exactly fix it. I need the dark ones dagger to cut this spell." Barry's face kept on getting annoyed more and more. "So, I'm guessing the dark ones dagger is in another place. Like, The Czech Republic!" His sarcastic tone was almost insulting to her. "No, it's not there. But I have an idea to where it is." Barry suddenly became interested, "Where is it then Mrs I-know-everything?" Zoë's face lit up with excitement as she said two words, "Storybrooke, Maine."
