Winter Wonderland (Once Upon a Time fanfic) (on hold)

December 2 - The Different Reflection

Maya, John and I were on our way to the deceased man's house. I had been with Dina to school, and as I got to work we all three drove up to the old house. It was like 10 minutes away from Marywood, and when we were kids it took like 30 minutes to walk there...I think. I don't remember. I haven't been there for a long time now. However, we were actually going to meet up with the old man's daughter, Annabel. So, I was looking forward to it, but still I gotta respect what happened to her. I mean, we were finally going to see how she looked like, and if she was anything like him at all.

(Is she already at the house?) I asked Maya as she was driving up the road towards the house. The house was standing on a top of a hill, so it wasn't so strange that it took us about 30 minutes to walk up there. Anyway, after a short ride I finally notice the house between the forest.

(Yes, she said she will be there) she told me, and as we came closer towards the house I notice someone standing by a car waiting. As we got closer towards her she notice us and leaned up from the car, walking towards us.

We parked right beside the car, but turned it a little bit to the side so it would be easier to get out the antiques.

(Ready?) I asked them both before we stepped outside. We were all a bit nervous about meeting her, because except from being a poor and grumpy man...we never knew him for real. Even not his own daughter, but of course we really didn't knew. And we were a bit nervous about what we were going to say.

(Yes) John said as he nod.

(Yes, come on) Maya said as we stepped out of the car.

I closed the door and notice a brown haired girl walking up towards us. John got out of the car and turned to look at me. Maya came around the car and stood beside us. We all then walked together towards the other female.

(You must be Annabel?) Maya said and held out her hand.

(Yes, I'm her) she said, but hopefully she gave us a smile so she seemed quite fine about it.

(I'm Maya, and this is my colleague and best friend Sam) Maya said and introduced me.

(It's a pleasure to meet you) I said and held out my hand.

(You too) she said as she shook my hand.

(And this is my brother John Rollins) I said as I intoduced him.

(Hey) he said and held out his hand.

(Pleasure) she said as she shook his hand.

(So, let's see the house) Maya said as she looked upon it.

(Go right ahead) she said, and her face suddenly changed quickly. She seemed like she didn't care, but she followed us anyway inside.

Maya opened the door and we all stepped inside the house. Wow, this was quite different than I expected. I thought it would be like dusty and dirty, but it looked quite lovely and beautiful and, really new. It looked like it had just been cleaned. This man was not poor at least, maybe now we got to know why he wanted to stay in Marywood. I had a feeling that this man was quite different than we suspected. Or his daughter had just cleaned this house these last few days, but I doubt that. She can't clean this house under just some fews days, that's impossible.

(Wow, this is...) Maya started.

(Gorgeous) I continued for her, and she nod to my answer.

(Yes) Maya said.

(I know) Annabel said as she got inside, but as she got inside she walked passed us and headed into another room.

We followed after her and notice this huge living room. It was gigantic, and...magnificent. Why wouldn't anyone live here?
