Cataleya froze in fear when she heard someone call her name, learning that it was Henry, and Dr. Hopper who was trying to get her attention, made her even more nervous. She knew she had to wait for them, or it would look as if she was up to something. It took them about 3 minutes to catch up to her.
"Hi Dr. Hopper" She muttered. She looked at Henry, then glared. "Henry"
"Hello Cataleya. Henry here has told me so much about you" Dr. Hopper smiled. "It's finally nice to be able to introduce myself properly, I'm sure we will be great friends as well" He added.
Cataleya sighed, she looked around, just making sure that no one watching her. Making sure that no one had saw her coming out of the sheriff station that she hadn't seen before. Everyone was going on about their business and had no idea that their sheriff was under a sleeping curse. Her mother had told her that to everyone else, it would look like he was in a coma. Cataleya finally noticed that Dr. Hopper was speaking to her. "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" She asked.
Henry gave her a look. And tried to see what Cataleya was looking for. Honestly, he was surprised that she would be out by herself without their mother. "I just said, it was nice to…officially meet you, we have never been able to, you know talk. You know, I am the town's counselor, and if you ever would like to talk to me about anything, I would be happy to listen, and help if I can, in any way"
Cataleya looked around once more. She was having a hard time concentrating. She felt like she just murdered someone. She swallowed the lump in her throat. Images of her father slumped backwards in his chair coming to her mind. Even though her mind was elsewhere at the moment, she still heard what Dr. Hopper had said, this time. "Um…It's nice to…um, officially meet you, as well. I'm sorry, but um…I have to go, my Mom, wants me home" Cataleya replied. She wasn't trying to be rude, but she had to go.
"Cataleya wait" She heard Dr. Hopper call out. Cataleya bit her lip before she turned around. "Why don't you walk with us, we are heading that way anyway, it's a nice day for a slow stroll, threw the town, we are just going to stop for some Ice-cream, then be on our way. How about some ice-cream it's on me"
"Um…." Cataleya shook her head. "I can't" She looked around once more as a car drove by. Was someone looking for her?
"You're up to something, aren't you?" She heard Henry ask, accusingly. Gosh she hated him.
"What?...NO" Cataleya shook her head. "Mind your own business Henry"
"You're evil just like she is. The evil queen's daughter. You're bad, just like my mom, the two of you won't get away with it" Henry spat.
Cataleya swallowed hard once more. She simply shook her head. She was about to say something before she heard Dr. Hopper chuckle lightly. "Okay, that's enough you too. So, what do you say? Ice-cream"
Cataleya shook her head. "I have to go home. Now" With that she turned and ran down the street towards her house. Henry crossed his arms over his chest and glared. She was up to something, he just knew it!
