Goldilocks

Chapter 5

GOLDI'S POV

I went downstairs to a library and looked in all of the books about Neverland, pirates. adventures, and fairy tales. All of them were so different, and I read for hours until the ground shook from something coming outside. I ran into my room and grabbed my sword and bow. Henry stayed behind while Regina, Snow, Charming, Emma, and Hook went to the main entrance door. I joined them and we went outside to find a flying monkey banging on the barrier. The dome started to crack, "Impossible." Regina stepped forward, "Emma, help me keep this thing sealed." They both used magic to seal it, but more monkeys came, and I saw the Wicked Witch behind them all. I stepped next to Emma and used my powers to help them, and everyone looked at me in surprise. I used all my strength to send a huge force that hit the monkeys and pushed them at least a mile away. The Wicked Witch opened the barrier and stepped in. "Hello. How rude to have a family reunion and not invite me! Well, it seems I have missed the party!" She threw Regina back and I hit her with my powers and I drew my sword while she was distracted, "Oh look at your new little pet." She stepped towards me. I heard Jones running and barking at her, and she twisted her wrist, and with that...she killed Jones. My only true family was now dead. I threw my sword at her and I cut her face. "You'll pay for that!" Emma came forward, "Not if I can help it." She started to fly away on her broom again, and she left. I ran to Jones who wasn't breathing. I cried over him as I held him in my arms. Hook came over and touched my shoulder, but I shoved him off. I looked up at the castle to see Henry who was watching us. I hugged Jones one last time, and I set him down. "See ya later little brother."

I sat on my bed the rest of the day. Henry sat by me but didn't say a word, he just put his arm around my shoulder to comfort me. I would be very happy he cares, but I am not, because Jones and Bae are both dead. If Henry dies I will be all alone, and I won't have any love left in me. After Henry left, I felt anger take over me. I looked at my necklace, "I am going to make her suffer."

At night while everyone was asleep, I snuck out on Amethyst again, but towards the Wicked Witch. I found a compass many years ago that would point in the direction of the thing I wanted most. I followed it, but really fast because I know it won't take long for them to notice I am gone. Soon, I reached the grave they gave Jones when I had left. I kept going until I saw a black castle in the distance. A flying monkey was facing towards the castle on a balcony. I hid Amethyst so no one would know I am here, and then I went inside with my sword drawn. I could hear the Wicked Witch yelling upstairs. I walked into some rooms to find dusty tables and shelves, but nothing important. I was on the top floor and right in front of the door where the Wicked Witch was. It was really windy outside so I opened the door as if the wind did it. She didn't see me, neither did that creepy monkey. The witch was sitting down facing away from me, talking to the monkey that I had spotted on the balcony. She was wearing silver slippers that I read about in a book yesterday. I put a spell on the monkey so he couldn't see me but only for short period of time. I grabbed some shoes the same shape as the ones she was wearing in a closet that was open. I took off the silver shoe and put on the new one using magic. She didn't notice. I put the other shoe on her and she didn't notice again. I put on both slippers just in time because the magic on the monkey wore off, so he started to wail and point at me. The witch noticed her missing shoes and started walking towards the doors. She froze my legs and upper body with magic. I'm doomed! "Hello my pretty! Let's see... How about I bake you? We could have Golden Delicious!" She laughed and I smirked, "Not today." I clicked my heels three times and I disappeared, but I still got to hear her scream.

I was outside now, and I jumped on Amethyst and rode off. I eventually appeared by the castle and I walked inside. Snow was by the door carrying a candle, "Goldilocks? Is that you?" "Yeah." I didn't feel super happy about what I did, but I was still pleased that I did it. She came towards me, "Where have you been?" I shrugged, "Out for a walk." She gave me a look, thankfully my dress covered the slippers so she didn't see what I had done. I decided not to tell anyone, yet. I can tell that Snow didn't believe me, and she probably knows I left. But honestly, right now, I don't care if all of my secrets were to be told this very minute. I'm already hurting a lot, and it can't get any worse. She dragged me in my room like I was a four-year-old! But I didn't go to sleep, I didn't even try. I decided to sketch the flying monkey and the slippers as an alternative. I realized that this book held my whole life in my hands, just one page could explain my biggest worry or fear; it has huge power, and I love it. I kept drawing everything I wanted, Jones, a ship, the ocean, the Wicked Witch, and Henry. Then the sun awoke, and Jones wasn't here to celebrate it with me. I got mad all over again; having my heart back is giving me all these unwanted emotions. I went outside to a tree that was in the borders. I hit my sword on it a bunch of times. I was imagining it as the witch, and I did all the moves I knew to cut up the tree. Then a sword stopped me from hitting the tree. I turned around with my sword at the person's throat, "Hook." "If your going to fight, don't take it out on a poor tree." I put my sword down, "Aren't exactly the happy type are you?" "Not much the hero type, are you?" He smirked, "Not my area, tried it." "Recently I'm guessing." "What makes you think that?" "Well, in the past it didn't seem like you were wanting to be a hero." He sighed, "Still on that?" "Still a pirate? Thought so." He held out his sword so we could fight. I know I don't want to, I hate him, but I do. I clash the swords together and then strike, he defends the strikes, and our feet were shuffling on the ground. "Not too bad!" "I was gonna say the same to you!" Then I knocked his sword out of his hand. "You're okay." Of course, "I'm never good enough for you am I?" He went to grab his sword, once he grabbed it he twisted around with it and almost hit me if I hadn't ducked. He smiled, "Never let your mate have a second chance." "What do you know about chance?" Again, he smirked. He put his sword in his scabbard and walked away.

Wicked Witch's POV

"How dare she, thinking that she can fool me!!Who does she think she is? She won't get away with this!" The monkey made a screeching sound, "I'm going to take away everything she cares about! One by one."

Hook's POV

I have to say, that girl knows how to fight. It was hard fighting her, she reminds me so much of Bae. I hope she realizes one day why I left her. It's the same reason Emma left Henry, one parent, one child, we just weren't ready. But I can see, I'm not her favorite person, let alone a liked person.

Goldilock's POV

Henry and I sat on my bed again. "So where were you last night?" "I was out...walking." I tried to change the subject, "I went to the library the other day." He knew I purposely changed it, but thankfully, he went along with it. "What did you see?" I pulled out some books from under my bed. "Wow! These are all stories, tales, people's pasts. There's yours! Why do you read your own past?" "All versions are different. We all have a story to tell."
