Cursed

Chapter 4- Shakespeare?

Sophie

I wiped the sweat from my forehead as I finished the last chore on my list. This queen really is evil. I mean, who gives one person 20 chores? Back at home, I barley did 5.

Home...

I miss home.

I mean sure, it's only been a day, but I wonder what's going on back home. Is my aunt looking for me, or does she not even know I'm gone? Is it still night time or does time go faster there and it's 5 years later?

Ugh, I'm so confused.

"Your confused?"

"Holy shiz-nuggets!" I turned around, only to see WILL. "Stop scaring me like that!"

"Um...sorry. It's not my fault you get surprised easily." He said causally.

"Maybe if you didn't appear out of thin air and speak without alerting me of your presence, then I wouldn't be so surprised." I told him.

"What you just said made no sense."

I rolled my eyes. Stupid wizard. He's just so...stupid.

"Why are you here?" I asked him.

"You're confused. I'm here to diminish that uncertainty."

"Since when did you use large, fancy words?"

"Since I accidentally casted a dictionary spell on myself."

I massaged my temples. "Oh boy. Ok, well, as long as you can 'diminish' my 'uncertainty', I'll try not to get annoyed and hit you."

"Splendid."

Oh Jesus.

"So what's going on in my world? Is time going on? Is it speeding up? Slowing down? What?" I fired my main questions or question. Whatever.

"Time in your world is actually tremendously sluggish. If you chose to go back, it will most likely be only dawn, but if you don't, well let's just say 10 years here is only about a month in your world."

"Another reason I won't stay! I live longer in my world."

"Your immortal here."

"See! Ha! Wait what?" I'm immortal here?

"Well, not exactly immortal. Every fairytale character will live for as long as 100 years in your world, which is about 500-600 years here. Unless, you are born with immortality, like moi, or granted it, you live for about as long as I just stated." Will explained.

"That's...complicated."

He nodded. "Yup it is."

"Ok well, um, thanks. Anything else I should know?"

"Uh, yeah. After Snow White meets the prince in the story, what's the next important event?" He asks me.

"She, uh, the evil queen does..." I rack my brain for the answer. "The-the huntsman! He comes after Snow White. Oh shoot." I realize.
