"Hannah!" I heard someone calling my name. I felt something grab me. I fought back but cringed in pain. Whatever had grabbed me was yanked back. I listened to the sounds around me. People were calling my name, but I couldn't really hear anything else. It was like being underwater. I heard faint sounds, but nothing I could actually name. I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry. Was this it? Had I actually gone blind? I blinked until everything came into focus. I was in a hospital.
"Hannah!" Felicity fought her way through the nurses and grabbed my hand. "Hannah! Thank goodness you're okay!" The doctors pushed her back. She was probably the something that grabbed me.
"Hannah, can you hear us?" One of the nurses asked. I looked around. I thought I was swarmed but there were only like three people. Doctor Whale ,and two nurses. "Hannah?" She asked again.
"Uh… yeah I… I can hear you." I stuttered. "Why am I here?" I tried to think of what happened to me. I tried to sit up. Bad idea. I yelped and grabbed my side.
"Hannah, don't try to sit up." She made my lay back down.
"Why does my side hurt so much?" She looked at Felicity then walked off. She didn't talk to me until the doctors finished their work and left.
"Hannah, the sheriff is going to ask you a few questions. Is that alright?" She asked.
"Graham's here? Can I talk to him?" I asked. She nodded, signaled for Graham to come, and left.
"Hey, Hannah. How are you feeling?" He asked. I wanted to ask him what had happened to my side, but felicity came running up to me.
"Hannah!" She ran up to my hospital bed and fell on her knees. She squeezed my hand. "Are you ok? You worried me to death!" She kissed my forehead. "Don't wander off into the woods like that ever again!"
I looked around the hospital before I answered. I saw Emma walking toward me. Suddenly rage ran through me waiting to be let out. My eyes narrowed. I hated everyone around me, and I especially hated Emma. I looked at Felicity.
"What's wrong with my side?" I asked. A simple question for the simple minded.
"Well there was a gash in your side," she said almost too calmly. My hands automatically go to my side. "But the Doctors stitched it up. I can see why it would hurt."
"Hannah, can you remember what happened in the woods?" Graham asked me. I had almost forgotten that he was there so the question kind of caught me off guard. I thought for a second.
"Yes." I say slowly. "Yes I… I do." Emma was next to me now. She had her arms crossed and her hair up in a ponytail.
"Good." Graham replied. "Can you tell us what you remember?"
"Well, after school Henry and I got into an argument about skipping rocks." Graham raised his eyebrows, but nodded for me to continue. "Then I stormed off into the woods, and the last thing I did was sit on the toll bridge—"
"The toll bridge?" He asked surprised.
"Well, yeah."
"Hannah," Emma said. She squatted down next to me. "We didn't find you at the toll bridge."
"What?" I asked. "Then where did you find me."
"At the old well." Graham explained.
"Hannah?" Felicity grabbed my hand again. "Was someone else there?" I thought about that. I thought that someone was there, but I didn't want to tell them unless I knew for sure.
"Sorry I can't remember." I said with my head down. I could still feel Emma glaring at me. Finally she stood.
"Well, Hannah, thank you for your time. I hope you start feeling better." She smiled and left.
"Bye, Hannah. Oh, and thanks your help." Graham said. Felicity sighed.
"Hannah I really don't want to leave, but you need to rest, and I have to get back to work." She said. "The Doctor says that you can go home tomorrow if you heal properly. Well, if you heal at all."
Thanks. I thought. That was very encouraging. Felicity smiled, kissed my head, and left.
I jumped up in bed. The last thing I needed was more dreams. I stared at my surroundings. I was extremely disappointed to see that I was still in the hospital. I laid back down and tried to think about what I dreamed last night. I closed my eyes and slipped back into my previous dream.
It was pitch black. I didn't know if I was inside or outside. The ground felt like stone but I could easily grab it like it was dirt. I realized I was sitting down and stood. A huge, bright light flashed. Images floated all around me. I looked at the first one. It was Regina. Well it looked like Regina, but she was different. This Regina gave off a dark energy. She also wore a black dress with a cape that was black with red in the pattern of scales. Her hair was longer and she seemed to be wearing a crown.
"I will destroy your happiness," I jumped when I heard her. The image was moving, and she looked right at me. "If it is the last thing I do." I looked at the next image. There was a man in a leather vest and black pants. His skin was scaly as if he were a reptile.
"All magic comes with a price." He said. I recognized the voice. It was the same one who had been had the toll bridge. Then the image faded, and I forgot what I was thinking. The next image looked like Mary Margaret only she wore a white feathery dress. Her hair was, also, longer.
"She poisoned an apple because she thought I was prettier than her." She was talking to the man next to her, but she seemed to be talking to herself.
Wow. I thought. Snow White much? Just then all the images came back and started talking all at once. I woke up again. This time there was a nurse walking up to me.
"I'm sorry, Hannah." She said. "But you can't go home until tomorrow."
