Oh, God… I HAD to do this Fic… I HAD TO XD! Okay, the summary explains EVERYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN HERE, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

LET'S GO!

Chapter 1: I was thinking about you.

She still worked at that hour. She had a lot of files to inspect about the last case. She needed to rest too, but…

It was a week ago since everything went… to hell.

Once she finished, she didn't go to bed. She was so tired, but she had to check if…

She walked slowly there… So slowly, maybe she knew the answers about her false hopes, but…

God, she was so broken.

-A week ago…-

"Now, for your sentence-"

"We don't have to become murderers." Greenleaf interrupted her.

"What are you talking about?" Bluebeard frowned.

"He's guilty! I know that, but we don't have to kill anybody." She looked at everyone. "We can imprison him. Lock him up forever… somewhere he can never hurt anyone again."

"How can we be sure he won't scape?"

"I can help! We'll use magic. I assure you-"

"That's not good enough." Bluebeard interfered.

"Maybe she…"

"There will be more if he isn't stopped!" Nerissa talked.

"We can't leave him live!"

"So we get rid of him!"

"I don't know…"

"We can send him away!"

"Everyone! Listen up!" Snow White shut the crowd. "Clearly," She touched her forehead. "We're having trouble agreeing on a suitable punishment. So I think we-"

"This is going nowhere!"

"Someone needs to make a decision!" God, she was so TIRED of Bluebeard, always complaining her decisions…

"Who?"

"I hope you aren't suggesting yourself."

Finally, a voice seemed to hear her thoughts about find a solution…

"We should have a vote. Make it democratic…" Bigby Wolf suggested. Snow wanted to thank him, but she could do it later. They were deciding the Crooked Man's punishment.

"Do you really think that's going to work?"

"He's right. Nobody can agree on anything."

"What about Bigby?" Snow frowned. What was Nerissa suggesting?

"What about him?"

"He was appointed, he's… The only official representative, really. He should be the judge."

Snow looked at her friend's expression. He frowned, unsecure about the Mermaid's decision.

"That makes sense to me."

"I guess it does."

"Okay."

"Fine."

The new Deputy Mayor tried to help the Sheriff, he really looked troubled.

"Are you sure? This isn't how it's-"

"It's what the people want, Miss White." God, she was about to grab Bluebeard…

"… Okay. Mr Wolf. It's your call."

"Snow, I-" She really felt bad.

"Just… Do what you think it's right." She said.

She had to admit it. She was afraid about Bigby's decision. The official punishment was throwing the Crooked Man to the Witching Well, but… She didn't like see those type of things… She was starting to consider Greenleaf's opinion, but… It was the Big Bad Wolf's decision.

He was silent, looking at the guilty man.

"Yes, Sheriff…"

There was anger in his brown eyes, even a great rage… Snow, for a second, thought that maybe he could do something worse… But she almost sighed when she saw when his eyes softened and he faced the crowd.

"Everyone… I'm-"

"Not this way!"

. . .

That was when suddenly everything went to shit to her. Her blue eyes were looking how the Crooked Man rolled his hands with the handcuffs around Bigby's neck, dragging him and himself to the Well. The crowd walked quickly towards them.

"I hope you all remember this moment!"

Snow walked faster. There was NO way she was going to let him…-

"Think of me when you try to sleep!"

Bigby finally could get freed from the grip, but the Crooked Man grabbed his arms meanwhile he was about to throw himself to the Well.

Snow tried to get closer, and Bigby noticed it. He looked at her.

"Snow, don't…!"

And those were his last words.

He was distracted, and the Crooked Man pulled from sheriff's arms, making him stumble and fall inside the Witching Well.

.

.

.

There was an uncomfortable silence. Nobody could react about what recently happened.

"… Shit…"

"Oh my God…"

Snow couldn't answer at anything that they were saying. She was still looking at the Witching Well, hoping that… maybe… Bigby made it. He could do it and saved himself…

"At least Fabletown is safe without them…"

Finally she woke up. Without them? She turned to stare at Bluebeard.

"What did you just say…?"

"What? Fabletown is safe without THEM! Yes, you heard well. THEM. Because he wasn't going to protect the people…!"

"How dare you?!" Nerissa yelled.

"How can you think of that way?!"

"Maybe he's right…"

"That was the best!"

Snow stared at the crowd… How could they be that hypocrites?!

"I can't believe it… Bigby PROMISED he was going to protect all of YOU!" Nerissa shouted, making everyone shut. "You deserve Crane! If Bigby hadn't been here from the beginning…"

"That's right!" Snow frowned, ignoring the tears in her eyes. "What would have happened then? Holly, we… Maybe we couldn't find Lily's body… We couldn't figure out this case… And all these things could keep going!"

"… Snow's right." Beauty said, finally.

"Yeah…"

"Mmph. I won't change my mind."

The Deputy Mayor closed her eyes.

"Everybody OUT."

"Snow?"

"… Please. It's over."

The crowd obeyed without words. When Snow finally was alone, she let her tears fall down, crashing to the ground.

"God… Just… Oh, God… Bigby…"

After a long moment, she decided she needed somewhere else to cry.

-Now-

And there she was again, looking inside the Witching Well, waiting… And waiting…

Flycatcher explained this to her and it was clear, so clear…

"This is the Witching Well. It destroys and devours, but our path lies this way."

She understood that, she really did. But the thing that she couldn't understand was… Why? Why him?

He just wanted to change…

He couldn't change the past, that was true, but…

She opened her eyes; they were a little red because of the less rest.

Bigby Wolf was someone who could never be understood at first sight. Of course, because of his past, he was a danger to everyone's eyes. But that wasn't for Snow White's sight. He always told her words to cheer her up when Crane used to insult her without reason. He was her friend, the closest person she had.

Until that moment.

"If anyone's to blame, it's me. You don't need to be yelling at her."

"Go head, I didn't mean to cut you off."

"You're doing your best. It's all anyone can do."

"You'll fix it."

"You'll figure it out. You're better than I am with this political stuff."

"I trust you you'll make the right decision."

"I thought you were dead, Snow…"

"I'm glad you're… not dead."

"If Snow wants to come with me, I'm not going to stop her."

"I'm sorry, Snow… and I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you."

"Fuck no! Are you kidding me?! It's horrible what happened tonight, I wish it didn't happen!"

"Don't worry, Snow… I'll be okay."

"I just want you to be careful. I almost lost you once-"

"I'm not yours to lose!"

Fuck. She didn't mean to be so cruel with Bigby; she still remembered the pain that filled his brown eyes when she yelled at him.

But he even still was there, with her.

"Snow… I'd never leave you."

The one who left was her. She left him. She saw him fall, and fall through that darkness… That lonely he was so used to, as she was too.

She was alone again, without anyone important to her…

Her rational side told her to move on, to leave the damned well and rest for her work to Fabletown…

But her emotional side begged her to wait, to still looking around every night in the Witching Well, waiting for some noise or something to make her think that… Maybe…

"Bigby… This is… Weird… Talking to you this way… But… I was thinking about you and… The last few days have been pains in the brain without you around, making me feel worse. I… I'm sorry… Good night."

With that said, she walked out of there, trying to ignore the pain burning her chest.

To Be Continued…

GODDAMNIT! I HOPE YOU LIKED IT!
