It seemed as though all the subtle of sounds outside and inside the large room had muted themselves as each ticking second went by. Only the faint breaths of the only two people sitting inside hitting each other's eardrums. Their bodies seated opposite one another and the feeling of shock and confusion swirling in one whilst the other held a face of regret.
"[Y/N]... I-" Bigby tried to break the ice just before the door of the Business Office swung open and a woman with raven blue hair stormed in. Bigby was quick to stand up and hastily walk over to her whilst you were left to stay seated allowing yourself to eavesdrop on what they were saying.

"Bigby where have you been? I've been worried!" the woman questioned with a worried voice.

"Snow, I was just gone out for a walk and I ran into some muggers on the way back, I'm fine, see?"

"Well that's okay then, you had me worried... Been gone for hours-" she cut off mid sentence noticing another presence in the room, you. "Ahem, Bigby who's she? She's not a mundy is she?" the woman, who you now figured out as Snow whispered to Bigby but you were able to hear her.

"Why did she call me a 'mundy'? what does that mean?"

You decided to stand up and introduce yourself, "eh... excuse me, my name is [Y/N] and why did you call me a mundy?" you asked crossing your arms and giving her a confused gaze.

Snow walked over to you and stretched out her hand, "My name's Snow" she calmly greeted as you looked at her hand and slowly reached for it, shaking it.

"Yea I know, I heard Bigby say your name. You still never answered my question though, why did you call me a mundy?"

Snow looked at you but couldn't find the right words to say.

"Wait a minute, what fable are you?" Bigby questioned as he approached, deciding to join the conversation crossing his arms as both of them stared down at you.

"Fable?" confused at the single word spoken left you in a confusion filled state. Both Bigby and Snow looked at each other with worry filled eyes at your puzzled face. "Wait a second you guys are-"
"Bigby you need to remove her from the building immediately or at least allow the 13th floor to erase her memory!" Snow whispered hurriedly as Bigbys eyes still watched you. The image of what had happened between you two flashed before him and he couldn't find himself to agree with her. It seemed he had zoned out completely with your eyes the only thing he was focused on.

"Bigby! That's an order" Snow demanded and those ordering words allowed his heart to finally speak in response. "No..."

"No?! Bigby she's a mundy!"

"Snow, right? Look I promise I won't utter a word of this place to anyone I swear! I literally just got here and I barely even know anyone here! So I swear I won't breathe a single word to anyone I know!" Standing to your feet with pleading eyes as you realised after your little speech how bizarre this entire situation was. Like was this actually really happening? Were you speaking to actual fairytale beings? It just seemed too surreal.

"[Y/N], I can't trust you... It's just too risky, it's been a rule for a reason..." She turned away from you and held her hands together. Bigby walked over to her and looked back at you, "Bigby, King Cole will be back soon and he won't be pleased to hear we allowed a mundy to know our secret"

"Snow can't we just... Let her stay" and just as the word "stay" slipped past his lips instantly shot Snow's widened eyes toward him. Obviously this wasn't him right now but after what had happened he just couldn't throw her out without getting to know this girl who seemed to hypnotise his mind and body completely. What was wrong with him?
