A forgotten Storybrooke
It was a dark day in story brooke, storm clouds covered the sky making daytime seem like night. No sun would shine today, but for the folks of storybrooke this seemed to be a sign of ominuous currents heading their way. Though things seemed gloom, nothing entirely was wrong especially in grannys diner- even though only emma swan and a few others were sitting at the counter.
one girl sat apart from the small crowd, tucked away in the corner- sitting in the booth across from ruby. Her hair was damp from the rain which could still be heard beating down on the rooftop. Two plates were in the center of the booth table, one had a sirloin steak with mashed potatoes for a side and the other which was closer to the girl with damp hair only contained a single large t-bone steak extea rare- just for her.
“ This smells delicious.” Her stomach growled, aching for it to be filled. It had been well over two days since she had a fresh warm meal. Ruby had scolded her for doing so, but she was to anxious to enter the dinner alone- and she would not let ruby make shift her plans with dorothy just for her sake.
“Come on era, you gotta eat. It won’t bite- not like is anyway” Ruby let out a small sigh followed by a light laugh as she pulled her plate closer to her, digging her fork into the mashed potatoes
“I know it won’t bite. It’s just…I can’t shake my dreams away today” She poked the steak with her nail which grew to be an inch longer and more crystal in color- shaping to look more of a claw than a nail. “Before coming here..I had little memory. Now I have dreams that..I can’t explain.” She proded harder, jabbing her nail into the steak until it was leaking red. She sighed in agitation, glancing up only when she felt ruby’s eyes pierce yellow.
“Era, you know what I’ve told you. There was a curse placed here..that affected everyones memories- though the curse is broken, perhaps it is still affecting you.” She spat out softly looking her in the eyes, hoping her words would prove some comfort.
“ I know..you told me this plenty of times before..but it doesn’t help ease anything…I feel like I keep searching for something-” She was quickly cut off by ruby speaking up.
“Or someone. You’ve told me of this dream before, you smaller..perhaps younger than you are now- with a figure tending to a wound. Something with piercing eyes and a ice cold touch. Your searching for someone you don’t have a memory of. Let’s not forget you have many other memories, it’s not like you forgot who you are.” She wiggled her nose, finishing up her mashed and cutting into the sirloin.
Era growled low and soft under her breathe, and unlike ruby who was cutting her steak- she picked up her’s by the bone and took a huge chunk out of it gulping down hard to ignore the emberassment at being scolded. “Yess Yes. I haven’t forgotten most things..just things like..whoever she was”
Ruby raised a brow after swallowing a few pieces of her steak. “She? So it’s a She now.” Ruby smirked and gave her a little wink which made her cheeks light up a light red.
“Oh don’t you..you..” She flustered for words and then let out a huff before taking another big bite, blood dribbling down her lip which she felt and quickly licked up. “I’m pretty sure it’s a she..but I can’t recall anything else.” By the time She was done talking Ruby had cleared her plate, and She chomped down a few more bites until there was only bone left.
“Well it seems were both satisfied for now, maybe we should..start asking- or perhaps introducing you to more people. Perhaps someone could help us with your memories” Ruby put her plate underneath Era’s with the forks and knives ontop. “Lets go, I have a place where you can stay too, I’m always at dorothy’s anyways” she replied with a wicked big smile, and they both rose from the booth and headed for the door.
Elsa on a trip back to Storybrooke, Anna had sent her on a vacation from the stresses of the kingdom. And so she was staying at Swan’s place.
She was hitting the library and picking some stuff to read to help pass time. After picking a few and checking them out. Belle letting her borrow them without a card. Then started walking back to Emma’s place. Wearing a simple icy blue sundress and a oversized white knit sweater on top and a pair of simple sandal wedges as she passed by the diner she caught a glimpse of a new face in the diner next to ruby. Seemed familiar. Too familiar. But she shook her head and kept walking passed.
