Lithium (Once Upon a Time)

Chapter Three: Destination

Six Weeks later...

Emma: "Faster, Swan, faster!" Regina yelled at me, with a vigorous adventurous smile, as my car travelled at the speed of light, majestically cutting the air in a million pieces.

The trees, that could easily be mistaken by pencils drowned in thick green ink, became nothing more than a blur, as my excuse for a Ferrari travelled through the grassy ground.

The fog in front of us escaped, ran, in confusion, as the lights of my yellow bug screamed it away.

The moonlight made that quest even more enchanting, as we travelled through a new iteration of the Enchanted Forest.

We spent the last six weeks travelling through the realms, visiting places we didn't even know they existed, with versions of characters we though we knew, but took us for mistaken.

Now we were somewhere, in the Enchanted Realms, we didn't know exactly where, we just knew that in our last adventure a Chernabog chased us, so I drove the yellow bug through a red thick tornado and it brought us to a new unknown realm.

It was fantastic how imagination was infinite, full of wonders and sometimes terrific, that was just how big the storytelling realms were, as infinite as imagination or even more. There were no limits, for new adventures, new villains, new epic tales!

"Do you think the Chernabog stayed behind?" Regina asked, as I kept travelling in the speed of light.

"I don't know, but we've been riding in the new realm for a couple hours and we haven't seen him yet!"

"Well keep driving Swan, or we might as well become demon lunch!"

I laughed with Regina's word choice, she wasn't as adventurous as I was, I guess.

"What are you laughing about?"

"Nothing...It's just...I guess these kinds of honeymoons run in my family. Did you know my parents chased Medusa in theirs?" I asked her, as if I were trying to tell her not to feel bad for herself.

As we were distracted in our conversation, something came out of the blue!

"Look out!" Regina yelled, pointing her finger towards a figure that came across us.

My feet hit the brakes, as fast as it possibly could. I could feel it's tiny bones crush and turn to dust as I pulled all the strength I had to stop the car.

The figure was covered in a white dress with a cape around her back and it hit the floor as white petals from the flower she held in her hands flew through the dark air.

"No!" I screamed, as I watched the lady fall in the ground and her brown hair with golden highlights taint with sprinkles of blood.

"Oh my God! I think we killed her!" Regina said, worried as hell.

We left the car and ran towards the girl. She was a majestic silhouette covered in white, with brown goldish like hair and marble skin. She was more elegant than a fine feather.

"Oh my, are you okay?" I asked her, placing my hands on her head and trying to lift her up.

She was shacking, and her bones were broken, so I used my light magic to heal her.

Regina came towards us and helped lifting the girl up.

"I am fine...Although I just felt all my bones crush!" She stated, as she took away the grass that now covered her whitish dress. "What the hell was that machinery that crushed my body and almost killed me?"

"That's my yellow bug..."

"A bug?"

"No, it's not an actual bug, it's a car..."

"Swan!" Regina nodded at me, as if my speech wasn't helping a bit.

"Okay..." I stopped and bit my lower lip.

"Well, who are you? What were you doing appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the forest?" Regina asked, as the girl still shacked the grass out of her goldish hair.

"I was...I was running. I'm in terrible danger!" she seemed frightened, looking at us as terror covered her blue eyes and turned her once marble face bluer than a wrinkled sea.

"You're running? From who?"

"It's my boyfriend...I think he wants me dead!" She looked in panic, her heart was so hurt, that it seemed she forgot she was just hit by a car!

"That's terrible, you should come with us, we can protect you from him. You shouldn't be on your own." I said, looking at Regina as she confirmed my words.

"Exactly!" My wife said.

"No, no, no, no.... You don't understand." She stated, with a fainted smile. "He is too powerful, he is a raging prince in a quest for revenge. He is a devil you don't want to cross!"

"That's awful. What could you possibly have done to make him act like that?"

"Nothing. Don't you see? That's why he is terribly dangerous! Because he wants to kill his true love just as a means to get his precious revenge." She confirmed, placing her hands above mines and Regina's.

"Who is he? Who is this vengeful prince that would kill his true love for the sake of shear revenge?" Regina asked, not liking that tale a bit.

"His name is Hamlet! I'm Ophelia, and there's no escaping my monster of a boyfriend!"
