Her Weakness✔

Chapter 12

Melody's Home

Evelina couldn't thank Melody enough for her kindness. Allowing a stranger into her home was a lovely gesture, if not a foolish one. But Evelina didn't exactly seem like a threat in Melody's eyes. Nor did she have the heart to leave Evelina out in the cold.

The dark haired girl's place was cozy. A perfect place for Melody and she offered the bed to Evelina, but the young Frost refused, saying the couch was more than enough.

"Here." Melody offered Evelina a blanket and another mug filled with a warm drink. Evelina took the blanket but slightly scrunched her nose at the drink.

"I'm good thank you." She said softly and Melody slightly frowned as she walked back to her spotless kitchen.

"Well do you want anything else? Food? Snack?"

"Do you have ice?"

Melody stopped her tracks and turned to Evelina with a startled look.

"Ice?"

"Yes, a cup of water with ice?" Evelina asked again and Melody raised an eyebrow.

"You do realize it's freezing out. Right?" Melody continued and Evelina slightly gulped. She realized her mistake, for nobody in their right mind would drink something so cold during winter.

But of course, Evelina needed something cold to drink. After her encounter with the warm tea, she didn't feel so good afterwards. She needed something cold to refresh herself.

"Yes a cup of iced water, if it's not too much to ask." She said politely. Melody looked confused for a moment before going to her freezer.

"Well, I don't have ice, but I do have water."

"That'll do, thank you." Evelina said as Melody handed her the cup. Evelina only took a small sip before placing it down on the coffee table before her.

"If it's alright with you, I would like to rest." Evelina said and Melody nodded and quickly stood up.

"Right! Well good night! Tomorrow, I'll show you around town!" She said excitedly and Evelina smiled.

"Good night." She called out as she watched Melody walk into her room and she shut the door behind her. Evelina waited a good five minutes before reaching for her cup of water and picking it back up. She glanced at Melody's door one more time before waving her hand over the drink, instantly causing chunks of ice to appear in the water. Evelina smiled before chugging it down.

She then laid back down, ready to call it a day.

And as she closed her eyes, all she could think of was her future reunion with the boy that had stolen her heart.

It had been a particularly difficult time for Peter Pan. He had improved drastically, now eating full meals and even bathing himself, but he did lag in emotion and his usual cunningness. He didn't speak to anyone, except a couple words to Felix, and he mostly kept to himself.

Pan had developed an obsession with Zelena. He kept sending messages to her, making sure she was causing as much chaos for the Charming's as she said she would've.

So far, she had transformed Sleeping Beauty and her prince into flying monkeys, something Pan had a good laugh over.

But as much as Zelena's doing did please Pan, he still couldn't forget his beautiful Evelina.

He sat on a log, just staring into the fire with a clenched jaw and fidgeting fingers.

Felix glanced at him before sighing and taking the seat next to his leader.
