Timeless Love | OUAT

Chapter 11

Hook woke up, seeing fuzzy green bars appear in front of him. He shook his head as the image started to become clearer; He was in the cell. He couldn't remember much, but he did remember Zoë. Hook looked to the left of him, seeing Arthur passed out in the next cell. Just then, Emma walked through the doors. She looked confused when she saw hook in the cell. "Hook? What are you doing in there?" Hook didn't want to tell her the truth, so he lied. "The... Ummm.... Monster came after me and my vision went blank. The next thing I know is that I woke up here." Emma crouched down to the cell, facing hook. Her hands were placed on the bars around his hands. "Well, someone took the keys. So I can't get you out." Hook sighed as he fell back to his cardboard bed. "Zoë didn't want me to get near me," he whispered as he closed his eyes and tear rolled down his cheek. Emma was too busy concentrating on finding a way to get hook out, so she didn't hear what hook said. It was lucky for him.
Meanwhile, Barry and Zoë were in the woods. They were running through the trees, dashing through the bushes. Their speed was too quick, until they bumped into a man which knocked all of them over. Barry and Zoë where in pain as they placed their hands on their heads. The man slowly got up; his rich chiffon alongside jet black buttons swooped to the side of his abnormally long torso. His long hair was messy and his chisels jaw was sharp. He placed his hand on his head and looked at it. It was now red. Zoë got up sharply and saw a long scar across his forehead. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" He started to chuckle, "You can't fix this little girl." Zoë began, "But, but I can! Just look!" She ran towards him and placed her hand above the scar. Within seconds the scar had faded, leaving the man in shock. "Thank you, I've never seen someone with that kind of magic in a while." Zoë blushed, "Thanks. Since you know about magic, do you know who the dark one is? We need his dagger." The mans smile faded quickly, "Why do you need the dark ones dagger?" Zoë sighed, "It's a long ass story which you don't want to hear." The man smiled, "Well, in that case the house is north of these woods. It's a..... Big blue house with a.... shed and a..... Little yard." Zoë smiled, "Thank you! I guess I'll be on my way." She continued walking north, leaving Barry slowly waking up. "Where's Zoë?" The man bent down next to Barry, "She went north of the forest." Barry looked around, "But, Arthur said the dark ones house is in the south..." The man placed his finger on his lips, "The dark one is dangerous, you must go as far away from him. Don't tell Zoë." Barry nodded, as he got up and ran towards where Zoë was headed.
At the station, Hook was locked in his cage. Emma went up to hook, "Ok, so Regina has the keys but her office is locked. She's at her house so I'll go get her. Be right back babe." She kissed hook on the cheek and walked out of the station. Hook walked around his cell, seeing Arthur eating a pop tart next to him. "Now you know how it feels, eh?" Told Arthur, shoving the edges of the pop tart in his mouth. "Something like that." Mumbled hook. "So," began Arthur, "You know the little girl? The one who put us in a cell?" Hook stopped moving, "No, I've never seen her in my life." Arthur raised his eyebrow, "Really? Even when you called her name? And you fell for her trick?" Hook went to Arthur's side of the cage and banged on the bars angrily, "I DO NOT KNOW THAT GIRL!" He boomed. Arthur was shocked, Hook saw his face as he slowly walked away. "I... I... Don't want to talk about it." Arthur shrugged as he finished his bottle of water.
They stopped outside of Emma's house. It was a blue building towering them, along with a wooden shed and a small garden alongside it. Zoë, out of breath, panted, "Here, is where the dark one lives." Barry, also out of breath, got up and walked to the grand sea blue doors. "It, doesn't look like what I imagined." Zoë followed Barry, tilting her head and observing the door knob. "It's not what I'm used to, but it is the real world. Besides, why would the man lie to us?" Barry but his lip, not wanting to tell Zoë the truth. Zoë placed her hand on the door knob, as the door magically opened. "Creepy," exclaimed Zoë as she and Barry walked through the doors. It's ceilings towered over them with its thick walls, it looked eerie yet modern. Underneath the staircase was a door, wooden with cast iron bars. "Maybe it's in there?" Questioned Barry, as he pointed to the door. Zoë slowly moved towards the staircase, trying to not make a noise. Creek. Zoë's body tightened as she heard someone's heavy breath. Followed by a girly sigh, a dense foot and manly cough. She gulped, turned around and saw what monsters she had been hiding from all along.
