Chapter 1
They were all paralyzed, not knowing what to do or say. "You should leave" said the king, in a hush but firm tone. All the guests and members of the family stated whispering between each other.
"We won't" said Jimminy Cricket, stepping through the crowd. The king looked puzzled. "Why? You hear Regina, the curse is mainly meant for us, I don't know what kind of course it is, so I prefer for you all to be safe"
"Yes, but we won't leave you alone, we are going to accompany you till the end"
King David opened his mouth to object, but Snow cut him off. "Thank you my friend, we appreciated", she knew there was nothing to do, an hour was little time to plan and do something. They would have to only wait.
Suddenly Emma came down her parent and hugged her mother`s waist. "What are we going to do mom? I'm scared" "Don't worry Emma, whatever happens we will always be together, but if we don't, we will ALWAYS find each other" Snow answered petting her daughters hair. King David hugged his wife from behind and within a few seconds, August and Ruth joined them in the hug. The guests stayed silent, getting prepare for what was coming; waiting for the worst.
"What are we going to do Charming?" Snow ask worriedly.
"I don't know dear; if we only knew what this curse is about and how to break it…"
They weren't aware how many minutes had pass until the ground started to shake under their feet. Making all of them to lose their balance.
They suddenly realized that the curse was starting to claim their lifes.
"Come on! Hurry up" screams King David to his family and friends, rushing them out of the ball room as he saw the Evil queen`s guards approach . What scared the king the most was that he did not know what would happen to him and his family when the curse took place fully.
Everyone went rushing out of the castle to their homes trying to not get catched by the guards, while a wide purple smoke started to cover the entire castle, Queen Snow, grabbed Emma`s and August hand and looked at her husband with panic in her eyes.
"Come lets go"
"My music box" said Emma. "Emma there's no time, let go, it doesn't matter" her brother replied. But the princess as stubborn as she was, let go of her mother's hand and went rushing to where she left the box.
"EMMA!" all her family screamed at the same time.
"Don't worry I'll go get her" Ruth went running behind her granddaughter.
"Emma, where are you?" she screamed trying to see something trought the smoke. "Right here, I got it!"
"Good lets go" she replied reaching for her hand but she would never get it. Cause the purple smoke started to spin around, like and the chairs and tables, and everything else started flying across the room. It felt like a hurricane.
"Grandma!" "Emma where are you?" Emma grabbed her grandmothers hand, they tried to get pass the wind but they couldn't, it wasn't easy. Their hands started slipping "Don't let go" "I can't, the wind is too strong" "Don't let go Emma, don't you dare" "Aaah! Grandma" Emma screamed as she let go of her hand and suddenly she found herself flying through the air.
"I got you" Emma was confused but grateful at the same time. She didn't know the owner of that soothing voice. She felt a pair of hands grabbing her from her legs, and pulling her down to the floor. Between all the wind, she only could make out a pair of dashing blue eyes. She was speechless. "I…" "No time for thank you`s love, let's go" "Wait! Where's my family?" she asked as the boy started to pull her out of the ball room, with difficulties. "They are already gone"
"No!" she cried. "Wait" she said as she saw the music box on the floor "my music box" the boy rolled his eyes and grunted. "There`s no time princess". But the princess let go of his hand and grabbed it.
"Hey! You two!" a guard called for boy grabbed princess Emmas hand again and started running "Look at me princess, get in here" the boy said as he opened the wall. Emma was too scared to think straight and she tried her best to listen to the boy. "Keep running until the end of the tunnel, it leads outside of the castle. Run and don't look back ok" she just nodded.
"Hey stop, come here" the boy pushed Emma behind the wall and closed it. Relieved he found out that the princess had dropped the music box, so he grabbed it and putted it in his pocket. He only looked up to see the guard in front of him, he then felt a piercing pain in his head, and fell knocked out on the floor.
Emma reached her destination, and just as the boy had said, she was safely out of the castle. It was in vain, you see because not even a single soul on the Royal family or its friends escaped the curse. Only that the curse hit her differently.
I apologise for mispelling.
