Timeless Love | OUAT

Chapter 3

The pair had found some clothes from last years production and Zoë had a emergency stash of money for when she needed to run away. As they were walking across the main hall, people were frozen still. No expression was shown on their face yet their body language was the same before the freeze. "So, how are we going to travel across the Atlantic Ocean when everything is frozen?" Asked Barry uncertain of the answer to come, Zoë hesitated before replying, "You're just going to have to trust me." Barry did not want to trust Zoë, not after Barry found out about her powers. After Zoë and Barry had reached an area of the school which was deserted, Zoë started her plan. Barry was still unsure of her plan, but he knew he could trust her. Zoë pulled out of her pocket a silver necklace with an emerald charm, it had silver spikes along the emerald alongside crystals and pearls. "The world is frozen and you think you have the time to accessorise?" proclaimed Barry, Zoë ignored his insult and started to change the subject. "Hey, Barry, can I call carry on calling you Baz instead of Barry? Just to, shorten things out?"
Baz was Barry's old nickname that Zoë had gave to him. She misheard his name in Maths in year 7 and thought he had said 'Basil'. She then continued to call him 'Basil' which formed into 'Brassy' and finally 'Baz'. He got annoyed at the name because it reminded him of his dad and they swore never to call him that again.
"Umm... Sure go ahead." Barry replied, "Cool, and this necklace is the thing which makes my magic work." Magic? Barry asked himself in his head, does she really think she's the wizard of Oz? Zoë delicately placed the necklace around her neck and gripped onto Barry's hand, "You need to hold my hand for this to work. You need to trust me," Barry held onto her hand, it was soft and smaller compared to his bony hands. Swiftly, Zoë pulled out a clear bean and said "This is a magic bean. It can help you teleport anywhere in the world, or even go to different realms" Barry's face was instantly confused. "It's ok, as long as you hold my hand you won't die." That was reassuring, said Barry to himself, I have a possibility of dying. That's just fantastic! Zoë threw the bean just in front of them, when all of a sudden the ground started to rip open a small hole. It pulled in the dirt surrounding it and had green smoke coming from the inside. "ONE, TWO, THREE, JUMP!" Said Zoë and they both jumped into the portal, without looking behind.
