"What – No! Let go of me!" I cried. The woman, who had followed, tried to give me a comforting smile.
"Look, we'll take you to Mr. Gold as soon as we've reported this to the Sheriff…" She said as I struggled to free myself of the mans strong grip.
"Please, calm down." She said. "Nothings going to happen to you. I'm Snow, and this is Charming. Please, we won't hurt you." My struggling was useless. He was too strong.
"You're kidnapping me! Let me go!" Snow looked shocked.
"Oh, honey we're not kidnapping you!" She said, and then took a double take.
"Oh no… Charming let her go!"
Just as he let my arm go I tugged hard, and fell back, landing on the pavement. My elbow scraped on the ground, a large gash opening. Blood spattered on the sidewalk, and Snow gasped.
"David!" She said. I vaguely noticed that she had used a different name for him. I pushed backwards, away from them, and then scrambled up. Snow took a step towards me, but I backed away.
"Leave me alone!" I exclaimed. Charming was on the phone with someone, talking and glancing in my direction. My eyes filled with tears as the pain from my elbow struck. I took a few more steps backward, and Charming hung up his phone and stepped towards me.
"It's ok. We'll take you to Mr. Gold." He said. He was trying to gain my trust, but it wasn't working.
"Just… Please, leave me alone!" I cried.
Suddenly, a hand came down on my shoulder. I jumped and spun around, frightened.
"Hey, hey, hey…" The blonde woman behind me said. "Everything's fine."
"No! No, leave me alone!" I sobbed. The blonde woman looked at me, obviously confused.
"What's your name?" She asked gently.
"I… I don't… I don't know…" People were beginning to crowd around now, curious.
I sat on the ground, putting my head between my knees. I groaned, the noise around me mixing together to create one, long, drawn out buzz. My head pounded, and my skin was beginning to feel as if it was on fire. I was dimly aware of someone crouching in front of me. I opened my eyes and looked up, seeing the blonde woman, looking concerned. Except that there was two of her.
I squeezed my eyes shut again, then suddenly felt something cold against my cheek. I opened my eyes again, only to see the ground in front of me. How did I get there?
I felt someone roll me over, and then I was looking at Charming's concerned face. What a weird name, I thought, dazed. I felt him pick me up, his arms under my legs and back. I heard a car door opening, and then I felt the soft leather of a car seat. I curled into a ball, and felt someone slide in next to me. The car started with a rumble, and moved forward.
