'I'm going to kill him. Then when i'm done killing him, I might just kill him some more' I think to myself standing up and wiping the mud from my hands onto my jeans. "Liam! where the hell are you?" I call out into the dense forest surrounding me.
"I'm here Jos, no need to yell" my idiotic brother says behind me. I turn quickly and grab his collar
"Why are we in the middle of a bloody forest?" I look straight into his big blue eyes and see nothing but smug joy as he pulls away and smiles proudly at me
"Well I believe, dear sister, that you were the first to fall through the portal. Apologies for that, by the way. So you should be the one answering that querie" he responds smugly. For a 16 year old boy he can be so childish, just like our two hundred and something year old father. I scowl at him and talk through my teeth "when we fell through I was thinking about mum and dad and when they fell through that time portal" I cross my arms over my chest waiting for the moron that is Liam to make further evaluations of the situation. He looks around grinning and surveying the area and then turns back to face me "ok, so from that I think we can safely say we're in the Enchanted Forest, since that's where mum and dad ended up" he smiles again and picks his jacket off the floor. "Wonderful." I answer sardonically "Since your so smart Liam, and you made the god damn portal why don't you start working on a plan to get us out of here, while I distract myself from shoving my foot so far up your arse, you'll be choking on my shoe laces?" I turn and walk away from him in hopes of finding something to smash, like a some branches, or rocks, or my brothers legs.
"Jos, wait" he follows quickly behind me "please" I look round at Liam with tears nearly bursting out my eyes with the overwhelming anger and frustration. "I really am sorry Jos" he stares at me for a while, reading my expression "I didn't mean to open it, it just kind of happened when Gold handed me that wand".
"What wand?"
"You know the one that creates anything you think off"
"Right. So you decided a portal was good place to start did you?"
"Well no actually, I thought it would be fun to... oh"
"what?"
"I thought it would be fun to make a time portal, not that I intentionally thought yeah time portal, it just crossed my mind when Gold hand.."
"Liam, are you trying to tell me that we have not just traveled to the Enchanted Forest, but to the Enchanted Forest of the past?" I shut my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. Why do bad things happen to good people I find myself asking.
"Umm, well yeah kinda... and I think I might know when. Jos, look over there"
I look up and follow his finger to where he's pointing
"shit".
I stalk over to the tree plastered in posters and pull one off to look at the drawing of my grandma's face with the words 'WANTED', 'MURDER' and 'TREACHORY' surrounding it. Liam looks over my shoulder at the paper, "wow, she's barely aged" for that I punch him in the gut "why Liam? Why when were in the middle of nowhere in a different realm and time to our family, can you be so incredibly chilled" I flap my arms at him in pure frustration.
"You're right Jos, I'm sorry. I'll start being helpful... but I do wish weren't such a glass half empty kind of person" he rambles and walks towards the road shoving the poster in his bag "because if you looked at the bright side of things, maybe you wouldn't be so angry all the time" he continues as I walk beside him "also this could be fun, me and you adventuring the enchanted forest. Like the old days when would pretend to be sailing neverland on dad's ship, but now its real and.."
"..Liam"
"Yeah?"
"Shutup".
