Adira grinned as she looked down at the oncoming carriage "ready Snow?" She asks the woman next to her who nods her head quickly and then they both turn their attention back to the carriage which was right underneath them and had stopped
They watch as the men chatter amongst themselves and then a man comes out of the carriage and they all make their way over to the fallen tree to inspect it
"Worry not. It is only a fallen tree" the man calls out to the carriage, telling the two girls in the trees that there was someone in there but neither of them seemed to care
The two females send each other a quick look and nod their heads and Snow White drops down ontop of the carriage and Adira drops down behind all of the men with a wicked grin on her face though nobody would have been able to see it anyway due to the black cloth that covers most of her face, only leaving her eyes and forehead
The men hadn't even noticed her behind them so they continued on but one of the soldiers noticed the concerned look on charmings face
"My lord what is it?" The man asks in worry and confusion and then tries to look at what he was looking at to figure out what the problem was
"Thai tree didn't fall it's been cut. It's an ambush" charming says and then as they all Symiltaniously come to the same realisation they quickly turn around and start to run back but each of them stopped as they noticed the woman standing in front of them and they felt their blood run cold
"It's Adira Argent"
"It's the weeping warrior"
A loud scream comes from behind them telling Adira that snow had successfully gotten the loot out of the carriage
"Might as well as let my companion have some of the fun right?" Adira says and looks around at all of them then steps to the side "prince, off you trot"
Charming gives her a suspicious glare before jumping on a horse and then running after Snow White while Adira stayed back with the other soldiers
"Y-you really think that you could take all of us on?" One of the men asks but the fear was evident in his voice as he looked at her and grabbed his sword in his shaking grip which caused the knights surrounding him to do the same
"Look I really don't want to kill you" Adira says and reaches her arms up to grab the two sword which were attached to her back and then she unsheathed them and held them infront of her "so I suggest you run"
None of the men ran and they all went around her in a circle and started to close in on her which was a terrible mistake because if there was one thing that the girl really didn't like, that was feeling constricted
She swung her arm forward cutting right into the neck of the first shoulder and he fell to the ground instantly. The men began to attack her quickly but she easily cut her way through each of them
As she looked around her on the ground she was surrounded by about six dead bodies and the blood was slowly seeking into the soil. She stared down at the bodies emotionlessly, her eyes completely void. It were as if she was unable to feel emotion like she was a monster
But she wasn't always like this, once upon a time Adira Argent couldn't stand the thought of hurting someone much less killing them. She grew up around violence and killing and when something happened she blamed herself for not being able to protect them. She knew she had to get stronger so she did, she got stronger so she could protect the ones she loved but many years later when the person she loved more than anyone or anything was ripped away from her, she felt nothing. Her heart wasn't just broken, it was completely shattered. So the girl who once never killed was known as the weeping warrior, the the woman whom nobody should mess with. The Killer.
"You want me to read to a coma patient?" Mary Margaret asks in slight confusion as she hands Kirra and Emma a cup of coffee and then begins to sip her own
"Henry thinks that it will help him remember who he was" Emma said and both Mary Margaret and Kirra knew that Emma was referring to who he was before the curse
"And who does he think he was?" Mary Margaret asks and Kirra couldn't help but feel amused at what the answer was going to be
"Prince Charming" Emma and Kirra both reply and a wide grin makes its way onto the younger girls face as she says "kinda funny if you ask me"
"And if I'm Snow White Henry thinks that we..." Snow White trails off already knowing the answer to her question
"He has a very active imagination which is the point" Emma says to Mary Margaret "I can't walk him out of his beliefs so we need to show him"
"He's just a kid Emma, is it really such a big concern right now, I'm sure when I was that age I was off having fun and imagining happy endings and true loves first kiss..." Kirra said but began to trail off as flashed went through her head
"You need to fight Adira, the village needs you" a man with dark brown hair and light blue eyes that looked exactly like the young girl in front of him says
The young girl looked to be about 10 and she had braids in her hair and markings on her face, they were a browny red colour that started at the bottom of her eyes and ran down her cheeks that could have resembled tears
"I can't fight. I can't do it" the young girl says "I'm weak... I'm an abomination. A demon in the eyes of god"
"You are strong Adira" the man says and grips her shoulders "so much stronger than you could ever know"
Screams could be heard and panic settled on her fathers face "it's too late. Run Adira run" he yells and then men in armour come rushing into the room
"Hey hey, Kirra are you okay, you kinda blacked out there for a second" Mary Margaret says in concern and the teen plasters a fake smile on her face and nods her head
"I'm fine. Just a little tired that's all" she says, which wasn't a complete lie. She had hardly been getting any sleep lately cause almost every time she tried she had nightmares about that same young girl she had just seen or a woman dressed in all black and wore a black cloak, the woman's eyes resembled her own. However there were occasional nights when she didn't have nightmares and instead she dreamed about her being in a forest, though she can never remember anything that happens in the dream once she wakes up, all she remembers is the forest and a pair of beautiful forest green eyes that she couldn't help but feel we're familiar to her
"Are you sure? I mean you look kinda pale" Emma says, also concerned for the girl
"I'm fine don't worry about me" she says with a fake smile "now what's the plan?"
