Shattered

5~Shattering Heart

(Emma's P.O.V.)

"Killian!" Milah exclaims.

All it takes is Milah running towards Hook with open arms, for me to run off immediately. I can't watch this. The tears start to pour out of my eyes. That's the last time I let my walls down.

"Sw-Swan!" Hook calls after me.

Once he sees me running, he realizes that I really don't want to see him right now. I need to be alone. My first instinct is to run to the docks, but I stop myself from going there and go towards the forest.

I sit on a log in the forest for a few hours to gather myself. Once the tears have basically stopped, I silently go back to my apartment, careful not to wake up my family, and fall asleep.

-------------------------------------------

I wake up early due to awful nightmares, and walk over to Granny's.

"What would you like this morning?" Ruby asks with a smile that I wish so badly I could have as well.

"The usual," I mumble.

"Coming right up," she replies.

I look around for a booth and choose the dark one in the corner. I sit down, and put my head in my hands.

"Can I help you?" a girl voice asks me.

I lift up my head, and realize that I am not the only one at this table.

"Oh," I say," sorry I didn't realize you were sitting here. I can leave."

I start to get up, but she grabs my arm.

"Wait," she softly exclaims," you look like you need to talk."

I sit back down and take a good look at her. She is blonde, fairly tall, and probably in her mid 20's.

"What's wrong?" she asks sincerely.

"Sorry, I'm don't share my personal life story with strangers," I snap.

"Well," the girl whispers," perhaps I should introduce myself? I'm Elle. Elle Bailey. I'm 23 years old, and I work over at the animal shelter. I have two siblings- a brother and a sister-, but my parents are both dead. My mother died giving birth to my little sister. My father- well lets just say he's gone. I am very blessed to at least have my siblings though. I wouldn't trade them for the world."

Elle sighs, and I can tell that she really is a sweet girl. Her introduction makes me feel a bit more willing to open up to her.

"I'm Emma. I have parents, a son, and a baby brother. That's about it. Everyone else I've ever cared about has left me. Or died," I say with a sad giggle before tears start coming again.

Elle reaches across the table to grab my hand.

"I'm sure things will turn around. They did for me. When my parents died, I thought my life was over, but I've become closer to my siblings through our loss. Now we are inseparable," she tries to comfort me, but it's not working.

"Yeah, enjoy that while it lasts," I whisper.

"What do you mean?" she questions.

"I mean that often in life, things turn around. Not for the better, for the worse. Enjoy the moments you spend with you siblings happily, because there won't be many more," I assure her bitterly.

"You're quite the optimistic one Emma," she says sarcastically.

"I'm not in the mood for a joke," I retort.

"You've lost someone, haven't you?" she questions.

"Oh," I say,"I've lost more than one person."

"I mean recently. You've recently lost someone. That's why you are in such a bad mood," Elle speculates.

I sigh, annoyed with her cheery attitude.

"Okay," I admit," you got me. I have recently lost someone. At least I think I have."

"What's his name?" she asks.

"Of course you automatically assume it's a boy," I snap.

"Well you seem to have a pretty stable family life, so it would have to be someone you aren't related to," Elle says.

"Killian," I say," his name is Killian."

I stand up, and could swear I saw her smirk after I told her his name. Something about her is off.

I act like I am about to leave the diner, but instead, I use my magic to create a fire ball. I turn around and aim it at her.

"Who are you?" I demand.

"I already told you," she says calmly," I'm Elle."

"You're lying. Believe me I know. So tell me your name, or this fire ball is going directly at your face," I warn.

"Threaten me all you like, but you're simple fire tricks can't harm me," she snaps.

"Oh yeah, and why is that?" I question.

"Because of this," she retorts before using some magic spell to reveal her true self.

"You're fire can't harm me," she repeats," because I am the ice queen!"

She stands up and reveals her icy blue dress and braided hair.

"Elsa," I whisper to myself," are you kidding?"

Elsa is here! I intended on having her come in later in the story, but she is a vital part to the storyline. Anyways, THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING! PLEASE continue to follow, vote, comment, read, and spread the word! ILYASM😘❤❤
