child of the moon

How does one even “find” their true love? I’m perfectly content in the life that I’m living right now. I don’t need a true love. But I do like the idea of having someone to come home to so I hope my true love is out there.

There is a lot happening in town as usual. My thoughts are simple though. Don’t mess with time travel or really any magic you don’t get. And also, we gotta figure out who made the snow monster before other snow beings come or worse, we have a perpetual winter or something. And I’ll do my best to help figure out who the person with the ice magic is but really I’ve been happier staying out of the town drama and just focusing on diner work and working on controlling my wolf.

I honestly have no idea. I guess probably what I would do in any situation. Be welcoming to new people and try my best to help Marian adjust to life here. It’s a big difference in Storybrooke compared to the Enchanted Forest. And maybe check in on Regina every once in a while if I can to make sure she’s not full evil queen again. But really besides all of that, there’s not much else anyone can really do. 

I am very much a night owl. It has nothing to do with my wolf - even though she too is a night owl. But I’d much rather be able to be out all night than have to get up in the morning. Granny, is an early bird and has tried to force me into becoming an early bird by constantly scheduling me for opening shifts, especially after a late night out. But jokes on her, I’ll just come to work after not sleeping or hungover and be miserable and tired all day and then still stay out all night.

Yes, of course! That's been my plan since we first saw one another all those months ago. But being a forager of hard to get magical items does mean that I’m never around and that I may even have to leave at a moment’s notice at times. I want to tell her, I just hadn’t had a moment to do so yet. But it’ll happen soon! This is starting to sound like my mom who keeps pestering me to just tell her already.

Yes in my dreams. This is news to me. We used to be together when we were kids but that was so long ago. Maybe that's where the rumor came from?

A metamophagmus. Turning into an animal isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

You know, maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up in the magic community or didn’t go to school here or anything like that, but it’s not as emotional for me to be here. Maybe it’s because I used to see the castle from my cabin just outside of Hogsmeade. Sure, I never thought I’d see it open and thriving, let alone working for the school, but really it’s better than I could imagine.  Even if I can’t seem to tell a certain Brunette how I still feel about her or that I’m a werewolf...

When Hogwarts started to reopen, Ruby thought about fleeing but had been stopped by Headmistress Minerva McGonagall. McGonagall had promised that werewolves weren’t seen as outcasts as much due to the change at the Ministery of Magic and that she needed Ruby to get hard to get supplies for the students. Ruby had only reluctantly agreed to the position after learning that Snow was going to become a professor of Hogwarts. McGonagall had also promised that the students would be protected from Ruby and that no one would ever find out about her being a werewolf and that she’d have access to the Wolfsbane potion so that she’d still be herself whenever she turned into a werewolf. 

I used to ask my Granny about him all the time when I was a kid and teenager. Her answer was always the same. He was a lowlife who got my mom pregnant and ran away. Not worth mentioning or talking about. You try and reason with her. She's the most stubborn person in this town. So after a while, I just stopped asking about him, even though I still have so many questions about him. Maybe Granny is right, maybe it’s just better I don’t know anything about him.

Obviously, Snow, David, Granny, Henry and Emma. And Prince Neal too of course. But even though I’d miss them, I’d probably not spend as much time as I should trying to get back to them. Instead I think I’d have my adventure and see where life took me. It’s like Charming and Snow have taught me, we’ll find one another again if we get separated at some point in time if we’re meant to. Because that’s what friends and family do.

Technically, yes. Everyone I’ve ever loved is here in town. This has become home. But sometimes I don’t feel like my friends really understand me or understand what being a werewolf in this town is like. There is almost like a piece of me that’s missing and it’s hard to explain, but I’m not even sure that I’d find that part of myself here in town.... I dunno, I keep a magic bean in my pocket as a just in case I need to leave and get out of this town. But for now, I’m still hoping to make this place work for me and my needs.

Well considering I’ve never met my dad and I was the one to kill my mom, to save Snow.. I’m actually not sure. My mom’s death played a role in my life and who I am today, who Snow is today even. Undoing her death could change all of that and that would be a lot to put on my shoulders, especially if I remembered this other version of events. So I think I’d rather watch my parents fall in love. It would be nice to see who my dad even is and why he left. Maybe my parents weren’t even in love, but I wouldn’t know unless I saw it for myself.

It’s something that people say to express that they have somewhere or someone to return to. I myself have never really felt that or even understood the concept, so maybe that’s just because I’ve never had someone to belong to? My friends are incredible and great and all these things, but because of the stolen year and the curse and everything, we’ve drifted apart some and that’s okay. They are off living these great lives and I just need to figure out what I want out of my life. Of where I belong and who I am. Maybe once I find that, I’ll be home too.

I really hope she doesn’t! Henry and Emma both belong here in town with Snow and David and everyone. And at the coronation she seemed different. I don’t usually like to pry, but I did overhear her say that she wasn’t leaving and I’d like to believe that she won’t change her mind and leave after that. I can only imagine what that would do to Snow... so I’m going to say that that means she’s going to stay here in Storybrooke, but you should ask her to be sure.

I was there at the coronation, so yeah of course I did! Though, I will admit it. I was trying to get Snow to tell me his name before the rest of the town, but tradition is tradition and she wouldn’t budge.
