Back in the human world Sheila woke up in an unfamiliar place with a splitting headache. A whimper escaped her dry lips and the iron taste of blood entered her mouth, messing up her taste buds.
“Where am I?” She whispered out loud while trying to orientate.
Suddenly as an answer to her question, came a low, dark chuckle from out one of the dark corners of her confinement, giving her the shivers…
“Poor, poor Sheila! You don’t have a clue do you now?” A man’s voice spoke up next ,entering Sheila’s still somewhat foggy brain.
“Hello?, who are you, where am I and why am I here?” She asked out loud to the unknown person who was still hiding in the shadows to her annoyance.
“Tsk tsk, not so fast dear, i am the one asking the questions here, not you….but let me be a gentleman and answer one of your questions….so which one will it be my dear?” The man curiously asked while leaning forward, revealing only half of his face to a gasping Sheila who was trying to process his words…
After some seconds had passed the man almost gave up and leaned back again into the darkness until….
“Where am i?’’ Sheila finally asked and waited with slightly trembling lips of the cold and of her ragging nerves.
The man leaned forward again, revealing again his face.
“Somewhere save underground” he answered her with a dark look in his eyes.
“That is not much of answer now is it? whee is that somehwere?” Sheila dared to ask again, hoping he would answer.
‘‘That is a second question! i told only 1 so sit down and only talk when i ask you to, got it!” The man suddenly yelled making her almost jump up in fear and shock.
‘‘Sorry, sorry please don’t hurt me! i have a son who needs me, please whatever it is that you want, if its money let me make a phone cal and i will make sure you will get it!” she pleaded.
The man chuckled again and then sighed deeply.
“No….not money! something ……much….much more….ah, you are trying to trick me huh, that my girl will not do, not at all!” he mushed darkly as he stood up from where he was siting on a chair in the corner.
Sheila watched in horror as the man started approaching her slowly like a lion stalked his prey.
As he reached her spot he stopped and kneeld down to her level and grabbed a fistful of her hair as he tilted her face up to meet his…
Seconds passed before the man smashed his lips on her cold shivering ones for a harsh long and deep kiss, leaving her breathless.
Some hours later….
Sheila woke up from slumber and gasped for air as all the images from what happened some hours ago returned in her mind, making her sick till in her stomach!
“Why God? what have i done to deserve this?” she mumbled out loud while she still tasted the man’s lips on her now swollen ones.
Slowly tears started t roll down her cheeks as she thought of her son and of her life. The little boy looked so much like his father who had abandoned her while all she had ever wanted was to find love and start her own family! Now look what has come of her she thought by herself as she wiped her tears away with the back of her hand.
Slowly the dark truth entered her brain that she was most likely kidnapped by that unknown man and maybe others might be involved and she did not know where when or why!
She just prayed the man would stay stay away from her for a while, afraid he would do more then just that filthy kiss if he got the chance….
Back at the castle, Snow starred deeply into the snow globe she held in her hands.
It was her mothers globe, the last one she had given to her before she had passed away.
“Why mom, why did you had to leave me all alone in this wicked world?” she whispered softly as she stroked the top of the globe lovingly.
“Because my child, it was for a greater good!” came suddenly an answer from whitin the snow globe.
Snow’s mouth opened in shock as she watched her mothers face appear from between the swirling snow in the globe….
“M…mother….?!” she whispered not understanding exactly what was going on.
“Its alright, just put the globe on the ground in front of you and step back my dear” her mother’s voice answered her again.
Doing as told, Snow put the globe down in front of her with slightly trembling hands and then took two steps back, waiting….
Suddenly a cold wind entered the globe room, where are Snow’s snow globes were stored. With wide eyes Snow watched her mother emerge from the globe on the ground.
“Hello dear daughter, how are you doing?” Her mother asked softly.
Not able to form any words she just stood there frozen on her spot, mouth agape.
“Ow and you man behind the door, please come inside, I know you are there!” Snow’s mother said next with a knowing smirk.
Behind her the slightly ajar door opened now fully, revealing Micah with surprised eyes.
“Come in, don’t be shy now, I know for curtain that you are not a shy man by nature Don Micah!” She smiled making him gasp in shock upon hearing her words.
Slowly he walked over to the two woman who looked so much alike and then stopped next to Snow who looked from him back to her mother.
“Oh don’t look so shocked Micah! Yes I know who you are, I am the Snow queen after all ain’t I? Well my daughter Snow is but I’m not death as everyone thinks I am so that makes two of us! Anyways, Snow what has happened in the Kingdom, I’ve seen a couple of dead bodies outside….so what happened there?”
Snow swallowed, not wanting to admit what she had done before Micah had come back.
“Well Snow? I know it is not going well for you but….” Her mother started but was cut of shortly by an angry Snow.
“Not well for me?! You have no freaking idea what I’ve been trough mother since you and dead were murdered, leaving me behind! You have no idea!” Snow hissed with glowing eyes.
“Uhm, I’m sorry to interrupt but….how can you be alive, I’ve heard stories of you and your husband being murdered and….well I’ve seen a lot in my life but this…goes above my head to be honest!” Micah chuckled slightly awkward, scratching the back of his neck.
“Good question Micah, well before I will tell you I want you to tell me something first” she answered.
“Sure” Micah answered shortly, not really knowing what he was going to expect from a woman who was supposed to be dead.
And then the question came…
“Do you love my daughter?”
