The house was just as scary as she thought it would be. Maybe even more. But it was because of her current size. If she had had her normal size, she would have seen it a just a plastic house with plastic little ghosts and other sympathetic characters. But since she was so tiny, she had the plastic characters at her level, and they almost looked real. For a kid, it was just a game, but try being in the house for real and it was way less funny. As she was walking in the fake corridor, Regina's voice made her jump in fear :
- Where are you Miss Swan ? I don't see you anymore. Did a monster scare you ?
Emma ignored her, staying silent and continuing her walk in the corridor. She cursed her son for not having a princess castle instead of this horror house as a toy. Couldn't he have a normal wooden house ? Or a far west themed building ? No. It would have been way too easy. Emma didn't like haunted houses, and here she was, in a plastic haunted house. Well, she knew that everything was false, but geing the correct size tended to change the point of view of a person. Regina tried again. She said to Emma that she had prepared a normal sized sandwich, which would be huge if Emma tried to eat it. Emma wanted to come out to eat, but she honestly couldn't tell where she was in the house. She continued to walk for a while, scaring herself a time or two thanks to a onster hidden in a corner. Then, she jumped again because suddently, the house split itself in two. She had almost forgotten she was in a toy house being such a small size. It was very immersive. Apparently, Regina had had enough waiting for her to come out of the house, so she had taken the matter in her own hands, opening the house in two. She could have done it before, thought Emma. But maybe she had forgotten that the house could open like that. Or maybe she jad wanted for Emma to stay in the house for a while because she enjoyed seeing Emma suffer ? Anyways, Regina had opened the toy house, and now Emma was abruptly reminded of her current tiny size. Oh my. Regina reached out with her hand, grabbing Emma gently and transporting her to the table. She asked :
- So ? How was your little visit of Henry's small monster house ? Thrilling , I hope ?
Emma felt her feet touch the wood of the table. She told Regina that she should have bought Henry a cute doll house. Anything was better than this. Really. Regina laughed, putting the promised sandwich in front of her mini friend. At least, she had kept her promise. That was a good thing. When she said that the house was « small », Emma begged to differ. This house was so huge ! Well, at the moment, she found it pretty huge. But if she had been her normal size, she probably wouldn't say that. She would find it small, like Regina. But she had been silly, and she had lowered her size with her magic. Regina told her that she was going to look for a way for her to come back to the size she usually had. But as she was about to grab a book, someone knocked on her door. Who was it ? Emma hid behind the house, not wanting anyone to see her like this. Especially not if it was a villain. She wouldn't be able to defend herself like that.
