She couldn't see a thing, the way to the dungeon was dark. Only a few torches allowed her to see. Selene couldn't believe he just disappeared like that, leaving the queen to decide her fate, she was torn inside. They appeared in a room with two cells, rocks on all side, the black knights threw her in roughly making her hit the ground hard. She cringed at the impact, she dare not shed a tear. They left, leaving her alone in a cell.
Selene couldn't help but sob, her heart ached for something she thought was real, her dreams all crushed.
"Are you alright?" a voice called from the other cell, her crying ceased
"I'm fine" she said shyly
"What are you in for?" The man asked clutching the bars that separated the two
"I fell in love with the queen's son" Selene admitted
"I see" the man said hanging his head, Selene looked up meeting his blue eyes. He must have been in here for a while he was incredibly filthy yet he still had a soft kind of look
"Why are you in here?" She asked
"I don't remember" he stated
"Have you been in here for a long time?"
"I think so"
"What's your name?" Selene asked
"David" he replied
"I'm Selene" she said giving him a small smile
"It's nice to meet you, besides the circumstances of course" he joked, she chuckled a bit
"We need to get out of here David" Selene said searching her cell for anything she could use to unlock the door
"It's hopeless" David commented, she stopped and stood up walking towards him
"You just have to have faith" Selene assured him resting her hand on his shoulder
"Faith" he mumbled, memories flooded his brain. Memories of a girl, hair as black as night, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood. "Snow" he said smiling a tear escaping his eyes
"Snow? You know her?" Selene questioned
"Of course I do, I love her!" James proclaimed
"But she was in love with someone named James not David" Selene added
"The queen replaced my memories with different ones" he stated
"So your James now?" Selene asked raising an eyebrow
"Yes" he laughed, "But you're right we need to get out of here"
"What do you suggest?" she asked
"We need to find some sort of metal to open the locks"
"Obviously" she snickered, he turned to her smiling shaking his head
"Of course"
They both searched their cells for anything, Selene searched through all the hay and dirt.
"A fork!" she exclaimed holding up the dirty metal object
"Hand it to me" James advised, she threw him the fork and waited patiently. It took him a good 10 minutes to open his lock, he quickly unlocked hers and both headed for an exit
"I have no idea where I'm going"
"Your guess is as good as mine"
"Okay" she said nervously guiding him down dark areas, it felt like a couple hours till they saw the daylight. They emerged in the forest running as far away from the castle as possible before taking a break. They stopped at a small stream to replenish themselves.
"How did you meet Snow White?" Selene asked genially curious, James smiled
"She stole something of mine" he said
"She stole from you?" Selene asked in disbelief
"Yes, on my way to my castle with my bride to be"
"You were going to get married?"
"Yes, I didn't want to, I was forced to marry Princess Abigail"
"Midas's daughter?"
"The one and only"
"What happened?" she asked
"I chased after Snow White, she gave me this scar on my chin" he said showing her the mark "She hit me with a rock when I almost caught her"
"Wow"
"I've been chasing that woman ever since, she's stolen something far greater then what I was trying to regain her for that day" he said sighing
"What is that?"
"My heart" Selene practically melted to the ground
"You're quite the charmer" she said giggling "How did the Queen get you?"
"Snow shot me with an arrow, and when we tried to run from the black knights I was only slowing her down. I told her to leave but she wouldn't. The knights ripped us away from each other and I haven't seen her ever since"
"Why did she shoot you with an arrow?"
"She was aiming for the queen but I couldn't let her do it"
"You sacrificed your life for the queen's? I don't understand"
"No, I sacrificed my life so Snow's heart wouldn't turn black"
"Your love is very deep" Selene said smiling
"You could say that" James smirked
Selene sighed heavily.
"What's wrong?" James asked sitting next to her
"I'm living one giant lie" she said hanging her head
"What do you mean?"
"I've lied to your Snow White, Tinkerbell and my whole family in the woods."
