"Who are you, why are you following me!?" Her voice muffled into the patches of dead grass beneath her. The tense body on top of her mumbled, "Gotcha! You'll pay for what you've done all those years ago-... Wait a second…Ugh." The sultry voice, cursed under their breath as it got up and impatiently waited for her to do the same.
A brunette, with now darker eyes than before, stare into green. This was indeed not a creature, this is a woman. She put her hood down. Gasping from this surprise, she questioned, "Who are you? Why are you following me?" She felt as if she was going to faint from all that damn running, and probably the her presumed concussion. "Do you always have the tendency to repeat yourself, Dear?"
"Well, do you always answer questions with questions, Dear?"
The brunette rolled her eyes and they drifted to her lightly bleeding wound, as she replied, "Regina Mills…" Green eyes trailed to the brunette's shoulder, now noticing what she was eyeing at.
"Oh my god, about that, I'm so sorry! I-I thought you were some sorta creature, from like a creepypasta! Sorry I read, too much! And-" She rambled.
Regina was not hearing none of it, she cut her off, "Stop with that verbal vomit. It's fine, it's just a scratch." Regina scoffed. The blonde gave a soft smile, "Oh, by the way, my name is-"
A hand flew in front of the blonde's face, Regina stopped her, "I do not wish to know your name. I did not ask." Clearly this Regina didn't like her, and was she seemed disappointed when they were revealed to each other.
She cleared her throat, after a few heartbeats, "Hey, Lady, you were the one chasing me, I did nothing to you, I think I deserve some answers!" Regina shook her head, sat down on a nearby tree stump, the other woman sitting on the ground across from her.
They both sat in an oddly comfortable silence for a while. Why does this feel, almost.. normal.
"Emma Swan."
"What?" Regina glanced up confused.
"That's my name" Emma said. Regina rolled her eyes, annoyed, looking back down at a piece of paper.
"Umm, so what were you doing out here, following me, specifically? Did someone hire you?!" Emma gasped stopping the small circles in the dirt. "I was just looking for something, I must have mistaken that thing for you." Regina spoke. "Now, I know it was a mistake coming out here. I should really return back to town. Also, should I be concerned that someone would be looking for you?" The brunette added as she got up wiping her hands on her pantsuit.
"Hey, stop, I'm not done talking. What was this thing you were looking for? And no, y-you shouldn't be concerned.." Emma blabbered. Regina waved a photograph in the air and handed it to her. Their fingers touched as silent gasps were barely heard. Wtf! Was that a fucking zap?! She thought wide eyed as she began to examine the photo. What she saw took her mind away from the electrical spark. The picture was dark, like night. Trees were seen in the background, so she assumed it was the woods. Lastly, a large dark human figure was standing behind what seemed to be Regina and some girl. It looked like a shadow but in the night time… A sneaky smile swept over the blonde's face. "Wow what a coincidence. I'm looking for the same thing!" Emma lied. She needed something to do in her life. "Wanna work together to find it!?" she asked excitedly.
A new adventure. Hell yeah! Wait, no way! Why did I ask that, she can't be trusted, and we just met!
The brunette replied quickly, "I do not think that would be a wise idea, I have to get back to town,anyways. And I can find it myself, I'm independent." Or am I? "At least tell me what you know about this creepypasta character." Emma sighed.
Regina wore confusion on her face C-creepypasta? Is that food or-"
"No, no, no. You don't know of it? Where do you live, Patrick's rock? It's the best. It's just scary stories sometimes about creature and shit!" Emma snickered as she explained.
"Language!" she scolded. "However, Miss Swan, I can tell you: The Shadow can copy exactly what you look like, and see your exact memories. Sadly, I do not know what other powers the Shadow carries." she summarized, and looked at Emma who was gaping as if she had won the lottery. "Wow, that's amazing. I'd want that power" She said in awe. She half-heartedly chuckled, as she stands up, pushing her short, brunette hair back "Don't be dramatic now."
Several heartbeats passed and the silence was broken. "Miss Swan, you're such a child. I think this is the time we part ways" Regina says snatching her photo, unnoticed tears brimming her eyes. "Well.. if you say so Gina, I'll hope to run into you sooner or later!" Emma says with a goofy smile planted on her face. The brunette spat at the blonde, "Don't call me that." and walks off into the woods, alone.
