The Queen's Thief

Chapter 22: Wraith and flashbacks

This song has given me some inspiration toward some events that happen to Sam.

~Sam's pov~

I no longer teach art at the school. I didn't want to quit but teaching doesn't really fit me. Thankfully someone was already waiting to jump in and take my place.

I didn't quit the bar though. It's funny to think Kyle was one of the Merry men too and we both were working at the bar.

"Sam I need your help with something." Emma said as she ran into the bar.

"What's up?" I asked as I handed someone a drink.

"My mom told me you knew the Enchanted Forest the best, is that true?" She asked as she stepped closer to the bar.

"I wouldn't say I knew it best. My Manticore helped a lot, but I did teach him the paths." I said as I began to walk. "I hope Patr is ok." I mumbled to myself.

"Patr?"

"It just came to mind as he hatched." I moved from behind the bar and Emma followed me. "Kyle I'm leaving for the night. Haley is here."

We left the bar and I followed Emma to the town hall.

"Do you think it would have been completely destroyed by Regina's curse?" She asked before I heard a wailing sound above us.

"A wraith?" I questioned before we started to run.

I quickly closed and blocked the door after we were inside and I saw Snow, David and Regina.

"What's the plan?" I shouted as I heard a loud bang against the doors.

"We're sending it to the Enchanted Forest. Since it was destroyed by the curse it would destroy the wraith." Regina filled me in before I noticed her hand.

"It might not be all gone." I said to her.

"It's just something we'd have to risk." She said.

"What if there are people still alive?" Snow asked.

"Everyone that didn't make it here would be dead. Ogres would have killed them if the curse didn't." Regina stated looking saddened.

"Regina give me your hand."I whispered to her and she surprisingly listened.

I held my palm to hers and I felt the burning hit my hand like I grabbed a hot iron.

After the pain settled I let go and she thought nothing of it or she just didn't want to say anything.

"How are we getting it out of this world?"

"With this." Regina placed a hat on the ground and just as she began to stand up the wraith busted into the room.

The wraith didn't realize she was no longer marked at first and started to try and steal Regina's soul until I drew it's attention. I drew my sword and slashed at it. At first it let out a horrid screech then it turned it's attention to me. It seemed to be studying me.
