Jack, get down from there!

Big brown eyed, a button nose, and.. wait.. under her eye.. was that..?

"Emma??" Jack’s mouth fell open in shock as he stared at the grown form of his baby sister. He’d long ago accepted he’d never see her again, but here she was, right in front of him. "Oh my god it’s you." He let out a shaky laugh, and crawled over to her. "You’re all grown up.." 

Dream or not however, she couldn't pass this up. Tears beginning to slip down her cheeks, she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly, burying her face into his neck.

"I missed you! Jack I missed you so much!" 

He’s hurting, both physically and emotionally, and it was driving him crazy, and he hit his head back against the wall.

"Why did I sign up for this thing again?" He suddenly laughed. "Oh right. For fun."

"Looks like the jokes on me this time, huh?" 

Eyes widening, Emma pushed open the door, and stared down at Jack, emotion beginning to fill up her entire being, starting with disbelief, and the old ache of pain. This had to be an illusion. Jack was dead - he was dead and he died long ago! His memory was nothing more than that. a memory.

But that didn't stop her from managing to whisper out a broken: "Jack..?" Before she covered her mouth, eyes swimming with tears, her throat feeling thick.

Her legs gave way, and she sank to the floor, just staring at him, trying to force the tears back as she stared at the boy who couldn't be her brother, her brother goose, who chased the darkness away with his joy and fun. 

Noah and Ila talk about the end of the world

Ila: Should I come back?

Noah: No

Ila: Did you think this man is going to attack us?

Noah: When the rain comes

Ila: What do you think it will be like?

Noah: I´d never imagined it

“And sorry, but your guess is as good as mine.. the magic of this place brought a lot of people here - I’m one of them..I was in Transylvania, and somehow.. here I am.” 

She looked at Mavis, curious. "So.. you're a vampire.. but you don't hurt humans..?" 

"Can’t sleep…" she mutters it more to herself than Emma. Kiara is trying to will herself awake, in this light instead of the cold darkness that awaits her behind her closed eyes.

And just like that there seems to be a hopefulness as they cross the threshold of the castle. Suddenly the biting wind is gone and even though the place is coated in ice, it feels like a warm fire compared to the outside. “I…I don’t think I can feel my feet…”

On the third closet, she hit a breakthrough, finding a whole slew of warm clothes. They were odd clothes.. unlike anything she'd seen before - but they did look comfortable, so she decided to deal with it. Quickly picking up as many as she could, she moved back to Kiara, and set them down.

"Okay.. let's put some of these on, get the chill out of our bodies and warm up a little bit." She said with a smile, before she lifted up a coat, and looked at it a little strangely. Still, she figured out how to put it on, and wrapped it around herself, slipping her arms through it. 

"Well.. do you believe in magic?" She asked, biting her lip. "I hope so, because this will be hard to explain if you don’t." 

"Magic? Yes.. But magic is said to be wicked and evil.. So.. magic brought me here? Why?"

"It’s a place called Disney Reality.. I know everything is probably confusing.. but my name is Mavis, and I don’t want to hurt you." She pointed at the wolves. "They will, though, so it’s probably best if you come down.. the venom should last a while, but there’s no telling for certain." 

"Thank you," She said slowly, and then, she smiled. "For saving me." She let out a soft breath. "My name is Emma Overland.. I'm.. not sure how I got here - It was Spring a few minutes ago.." 

Her brow furrows as she stumbles a bit, confusion etched across her dazed features. “A castle…?” Her brain is foggy and she can’t fully process where she is so she shakes her head a bit, nearly toppling herself over with the motion. “There’s no castles near Pride Rock. We’re the closest thing…there’s no snow either…”

"Well, there are no castles in Burgess, either - that's where I live.. and it's spring there.. so it looks like we're in the same confused state.. but there IS snow, and there IS a castle, so even though it's really weird - we just have to go with it for now, okay?" 

It’s jaws snap at her face, but she fights it off, and bites into its neck. She injects a small amount of her poison to paralyze the beast, and sets to work on the others. It’s not long before it’s done, and she looks up at the girl*

I bet you’re probably more scared of me than those wolves right now.. but it’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you, I promise! 

Vampire.

She recalled old stories Jack used to tell her, and though she felt fear, she also felt relief. It was a strange mix, but there was something comforting in that familiarity in knowing what she was faced with* 

Who are you..? Where am I..? 

Emma’s voice comes into her head like the girl is shouting down a train tunnel. It’s echoed and half garbled and she’s doing her best to focus on what she’s saying as well as the fact that there is someone saying something. But she wants to sleep, just sleep- 

-There’s a slight easing of the cold wind and when Emma finishes speaking, Kiara tries to kick start her groggy mind. She’s no longer shivering which isn’t a good sign. She knows she has to open her eyes. It’s now or never. Finally she manages to shake some of the fog from her brain and stares up at Emma-

She moves Kiara, trying to force her into a sitting position - it's harder for her to sleep if she's sat up, after all.*
