Chapter Four

Alice ran as fast as she could through the woods. She didn't know how long she had been running for or how far away she was from Emma's house.

Her feet slowed down as she began walking, her heart pounding so fast, her breathing very heavy. She looked back behind her to see if Emma or her father were behind her, but there was nothing.

No none in sight and nothing around her except for trees.

Alice knew she was lost, but if she found a way to escape a tower, she could found a way back to the center of Storybrooke. She sighed and started casually walking through the woods.

It wasn't too long before she heard a branch snap, making Alice stop in her tracks. Her eyes scanned the woods, then she slowly turned her head around.

Still, there was nothing behind her.

Alice turned her head back and gasped, her eyes wide at the pointed arrow in front of her. Her eyes flickered up to who was standing in front of her, but all she could see was their hood.

Alice couldn't see their face at all.

"Who are you?!" A female voice yelled, demandingly. "Why are you snooping around this area of the woods?" The voice yelled at Alice as Alice stood there frightened, her eyes still glued up to the girl's hood.

"I- I was- wasn't. I- I just got lost." Alice said stuttering, her heart beating so fast it feel like it was going to pound out of her chest as she feared for her life. The hooded girl stood there not moving a muscle for a second before she asked in a quiet, low tone.

"What's your name?"

"Alice." She told the hooded girl, "My name's Alice." She repeated to her. The hooded girl hesitated for a moment before layering her bow, then dropped her head, taking off her hood. Immediately, Alice saw the girl's long dirty blonde hair, followed by the girl's big green eyes as she looked up, meeting Alice's ocean blue eyes, "And you are?" Alice asked staring at the beautiful looking girl in front of her. The girl sighed, then answered with one simple word.

"Robin."


A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter. I promise the next one will be longer.
