Timeless Love | OUAT

Chapter 9

*in the present*
"So, is that the whole story?" Barry questioned. "Yep. Captain Hook banished me from his ship, then he threw me into a magical portal which took me to London. I was then in an adoption centre for 4 months, then they sent me halfway across the country to Manchester and I now have an adopted family." Told Zoë, her puffy eyes had seem to have faded. "Wow, that's a lot. Mine isn't really that complicated." Exclaimed Barry, Zoë wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying. She was just staring into his hazel eyes, his fair skin, the way his small lips moved as they talked. They were just so, perfect. "Err, Zoë?" Zoë snapped out of dreaming and looked at Barry. "Oh, sorry. I'm really tired." She lied as she looked down and bit her lip. "Well, Someone is coming. Because there's one missing seat on the table." Zoë observed the seat. No one was there, they must've left. So, they got up and went to camp, just to be safe. As they were walking, they heard a howl. It was the wolf. They turned around to see a wolf on the ground, carrying a red coat. Barry moved in closer, he took the cloak and observed it. "Why does a wolf own a red cloak?" Zoë face palmed as she took the cloak off of him. It was satin red with intricate designs on it. The hood was embroidered with a fluffy red fabric, it was truly beautiful. Zoë immediately threw the cloak onto the wolf, Barry shouted "What are you doing? It's going to eat the cloak!" The wolf  was covered in the cloak, and the next thing you know a girl came out with the hood wrapped around her. "Wh.. Whaa... WHAT THE FUCK!" Barry said, this was the first times he had seen magic happen. "I'm Zoë, this is Barry. You must be the wolf, right?" The girl nodded, but didn't speak. "Look, we are supposed to be here in secret yet you can see us. So, why don't we just forget about this and we'll go our own way." Told Barry, as they both walked away. But, the girl pulled their clothes from the collar and brought it towards her. "Listen," the girl began, "We don't want anymore chaos in our town. So why don't you pack your bags and scoot away to where ever you're from, got it?" Barry was about to speak, until Zoë put her hand over his mouth. "Umm, how about we don't leave and we'll do our business where we want. Ok?" The girl looked fuming, she wanted them gone. Zoë quickly grabbed the poppy powder and blew it into her face. The girl went falling to the ground, she was knocked out. "Well, she did act like a bitch." Told Zoë, Barry just sighed. "Wait, why didn't you erase her memory?" Zoë looked at him cunningly, "Well, we want them to know we're a danger towards them. So they'll protect their family first, nothing else. Which means..." Barry continued, "That they wouldn't hide the dagger and it'll be accessible to us. My you are a genius sometimes Zoë mills." Zoë blushed, "Thank you, now we have to make a plan about how to get this. Shall we make this plan in our crash out area?" Barry smiled, "Go ahead, pirate." Zoë giggled, she liked the nickname. When they reached the crash out area, they started to make their plan. It would involve Zoë's magic and Barry's face in this plan to get the dark ones dagger. However, when the girl awoke, she found herself going to her friends. "Guys," she began, "There's a big threat to us." Everyone was concerned, they wanted to know more. Just then, Emma interrupted. "What kind of threat? Is it a monster, a witch, you've got to be more specific." She told them, "We've got two kids trying to get the dark ones dagger." Everybody looked confused. "Wait, you're saying that a bunch of children are trying to go after something which hold power to rumplestiltskin?" Told hook. "Yes, one of them was a boy, he didn't mention his name." Told ruby. "Well that's helpful!" Replied regina. "Regina! Let her finish!" Said Robin, "Go on then Ruby." She continued "But the other girl was called... Zoë I think. Yeah, Zoë mills. But that's all I have." Hook stopped moving, he walked out of the circle. Emma went after him, "Hey Killian, what's up?" Hook sat down at the table, he rubbed his eyes trying not to tear up. "Hook, do you know these kids?" Asked Emma politely, "Err.. No swan. I haven't. It's just that, my mother was called Zoë." Lied hook, his face was straight. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. What happened to her?" Questioned Emma, "She died sadly after I was born. Can we just stop talking about this? It brings back bad memories." Emma nodded understandingly, "Why don't we go to my place and you can sleep over. We'll forget about this, ok?" Hook nodded as he got up. Emma held his hand as they were walking to her house, but hook kept on staring at his charm bracelet with the tree. Wondering if Zoë was actually in town.
