"Give me literally one good reason why I should care that a couple of witches are coming to town. Even with Rumpelstiltskin in tow."
"Well, it's always valuable to be an informed citizen. Especially when there are people that might come and kill you!"
"Mom, they have no business with me, I've never met any of them except Rumpelstiltskin and him only briefly. I doubt they're in the business of killing random people, as long as those people don't get in their way."
"So you're okay with letting them murder people as long as they're not you?"
"Mom, I'm a fourteen year old girl. What can I possibly do that the people in charge can't do?"
"Well I'm not saying you should do anything, dear, just care about what's going on!"
"Fine. I do care, Mom. I just don't think there's any need to get paranoid over it."
"Stop dating Evan!"
"What the heck, Mom?! Subject change much?"
"Elle, I-"
"I've heard it, Mom. Bye."
Putting my hair up into a blonde ponytail, I ran outside to where my boyfriend was waiting. I didn't care what Mom said, Evan was my boyfriend and that was that. I knew she wanted what was best for me, she just didn't get what that was. She would never let me do what we were doing.
"This is safe, right?" Evan asked when he saw me.
"Oh yeah. What could go wrong?"
"A lot of things. You want to spy on the town line!"
"Uh-huh."
"Elle, that's completely crazy!"
"It's the Elowena Greene trademark: Crazy is what you get. Now come on, let's go."
By the time we had made it to the town line (my magic was not strong enough for teleportation yet), there was nobody there and it seemed whoever was coming had made it into town already. We had visitors.
