After a roller coaster over the past few weeks, thinking Katherine was dead then finding out she wasn't dead, which meant that Mary-Margret wasn't a murderer, but then it also meant that someone set her up! Everything was all up in the air at the moment and no one really knew what was going on. But the good news was that Mary-Margret was able to come home!
That night, tones of people from town came over for a party. It seemed really strange, they all hated her a day ago and now they're all loving her?! I wasn't really in the party mood, so sat on the stairs by myself most of the night
"Hey" Said August walking over and taking a seat next to me
"Hey" I replied watching everyone else have fun
"Not the party type?" He asked
"No, I'd much rather be reading a book in a silent library on a comfy chair than talk to people" I said
"Me too" He replied. I watched as Emma went to walk Henry home, David showed up right when they were about to leave and so Emma sent Henry home with David instead "Is there a reason for your stance on socialising?" He asked
"Weird way to phrase it.... but after a lot of researching, and a lot of soul development, I've finally decided that I'm an amazing person and it's everyone else that is the problem, therefore, why socialise with a lesser species when I could be doing much more enjoyable things!" I said chuckling with August "It's that, or it's because I have social anxiety and I have panic attacks when forced to mingle in large groups"
"I would stick with the first answer if I were you" He replied "Doesn't Henry have his book with him? Maybe you could disappear upstairs and read that" He suggested
"Henry just left, and I've heard enough about his book to know it basically word for word by now!" I laughed
"What do you think about his theory?" He asked making me a little suspicious about him. Did he know that it was true? Was he just asking a general question out of curiosity? Or was he trying to get me to admit it was true?
"Honestly, I don't hate the idea. I've always wanted to live in different books, and fantasy universes. I do this thing called maladaptive daydreaming, I tell myself stories in my head and put myself in them. I feel like Henry does that but he voices his stories, for now, he's just obsessed with this particular one" I said
"Good thinking!" He replied before joining the party. After a while, I got bored and I had been there for a good length of time, so it was socially acceptable to leave now. I said goodbye to everyone and headed home.
That night I had a dream. I dreamt about how Emma was brought to this world, I'd had this dream a few times but this time, it was different, this time a little boy went with her. The dream went on for a while and showed me different stages of the kids life, he grew up to be a man in my dream. I woke up suddenly and knew exactly who I had been dreaming about! August.
On Monday morning, I went to see Mary-Margret to check she was ok, and brought some baked goods from the diner, only to be met with August on the other side of the door, fiddling with a lock.
"What are you doing?" I asked
"Oh, Mary-Margret and Emma asked me to install a new lock to keep Regina out" He explained as he unlocked the door and held it open for me.
"Hey" I said walking in
"Morning" Emma replied
"No one Is getting through that" Said August after checking it one last time
"Wow. When are you installing the torture chamber?" Emma asked looking at the style of the lock
"You dont like it? I call it Medieval Chic" August said admiring his handy work
