CHAPTER FIFTEEN Fantasy and Reality
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
WHY DID THE CRAZY STUFF ALWAYS HAPPEN TO HER? So many things were going on inside Zelda's mind as Killian carried her out of the building. He put her in the backseat of Emma's yellow Volkswagen Beetle and the little boy looked confused.
"Who is she?" he asked.
"Henry, this is Zelda. She's a friend and her parents are out of the city right now so she's coming with us," the blonde said and Henry shrugged his shoulders before returning to the game he was playing on his phone.
Zelda stared out the window as Emma started driving. She had no idea who the hell these people were but she didn't really have much of a choice. She had nobody so she was all alone. Her birth parents didn't want her and her adopted parents turned into monstrous creatures. She didn't really have any friends even though she did talk to a few people but she never formed a proper bond with anyone. If she just let these strange people take her wherever it was they were going, nobody would really miss her or even notice.
"What happened to her arms?" Henry asked when he noticed the bandages and the small stains of blood.
"There was an accident that injured her arms pretty badly. She should be alright," Killian answered as he turned around in his seat to look at the raven haired girl.
Her hair was still the same from when she cut it since she got it trimmed to keep it from growing any longer. He wasn't sure how long she was going to sit there completely silent while it was like she had a crowd of many voices in her own head. She wondered why those people adopted her and how they could go that long without her finding out what was really going on. Another question in her mind was why they reacted the way they did when she told them about Killian. Did they know him? Did he know them? What did they know about him? Why was it so bad that he found her?
She rested her head against the glass as she stayed quiet for the entire drive. Her mind was still racing but after a while, all that thinking was starting to make her tired. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't come up with a logical explanation. The adrenaline rush had already worn off before Killian and Emma got to the scene but now all she wanted to do was sleep and hope this was just another one of her nightmares.
"How do we explain all of this to either of them?" Killian asked as they crossed the border and arrived in Storybrooke.
"We'll figure that out later. For now, watch over them while I go talk to my parents," Emma said as she walked away while Killian got back inside the car.
Both Henry and Zelda were still asleep in the backseat as Killian looked outside the window. He was practically left on babysitting duty while Emma went to go talk to her family. Zelda shifted and lifted her head off the window as she opened her eyes. She looked around and sat up straight once she realized that she was in a car in a place she didn't recognize. Did someone kidnap her? She looked at the little boy next to her but he was the one person who did look somewhat familiar but she couldn't remember his name. Was he taken too?
