Once Upon A Time... discussion

((..))

Emily, now appearing human walks along the dirt path leading from the river, to the town square. She wears a flowing blue dress, with her hair in light curls. Her feet bare, as she makes her way to the square.

Tyler walks through time square, his mind wondering elsewhere. His Black Sword swaying around his waist. Today was one of those days when his blonde hair curled around his eyes, making it a lot easier for him to see.
Tyler looked around for fun. The square really wasn't busy today. Which was good, it would complicate things if he were to run into people. When he saw her, he knew she would be the perfect target. Smirking as he watched her cross the street, her pale blue dress lifting slightly in the breeze. She wasn't wearing shoes, Tyler thought to his himself.
The girl seemed to be looking for someone, then her face lifted into a smile when her eyes rested on another blonde girl,this one with gray eyes. He noticed who it was and was shocked momentarily. "Ali" said the the unknown girl. Ali turned around fondly smiling at the girl in the blue dress. "Hello Emily, nice to see you again."

Tyler didn't pay attention to the rest of their conversation. But continued to watch from a distance. Sometimes the wind would carry their words over to Tyler and he would hear things like "Kingdom" and "fins". He didn't really care what they were talking about. Tyler just wanted his fun. Just when Tyler was about to give up the two girls said their goodbyes, and walked separate ways. Ali walked down the square into the edge of the forest, probably heading home. Emily continued with her shopping through the square stopping at a cart with different types of fruits.
When Emily turned her back to him, he walked up behind her, more of him vanishing with each step.
By the time he reached her, Tyler was completely invisible. From head to toe, even his clothes and sword.
Tyler wondered sometimes why that was, but eventually came to no answer and gave up. He reached his hand so it was level to her neck, and yanked one of her blonde curls.
The girl turned around quickly with a smiling face, probably expecting it to be Ali. When she realized it wasn't, she just turned back to the fruit probably dismissing the idea as if it was nothing more than the wind.
Tyler tip toed closer to Emily, she smelled of sea weed Tyler noted. He got even closer this time flicking her ear. Emily again turned around, this time with a angry expression. She knew someone was bothering her purposely. The Anger turned to shock instantaneously when again, no one was there.
Tyler stepped back, he didn't want to scare her completely. She was after all just a girl, maybe sixteen or a year older. She was a picture of innocence, blonde hair blue eyes.
So Tyler decided he would do what he came to the square to do. Shop. But temptation won over as he walked past her. His hand stretched out and Tyler let his fingertips run the whole length of Emily's arms.
She gasped and shuttered. Tyler debated whether to turn visible, but in the end decided to stay invisible. He wasn't going to blow his cover just because he felt bad about teasing some pretty girl.
Tyler looked back at her, yearning to see how she would react to his final act of amusement.

Emily noticed something strange going on in town today. She noticed not many people were around, yet she felt someone touching and teasing her. She turned and looked around the market. She smiled and said, "hey! Whoever you are, you can come out now." She giggled expecting it to be Ali or maybe a young kid wanting to play. Instead, a tall, dark and handsome man appears out of nowhere, startling Emily. She takes a step back. He was gorgeous! Emily, hypnotized by his good looks appears speechless. They stare at one another till he breaks the silence. He takes a step closer to her and takes her hand in his. He says, "My name is Tyler. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, your just so beautiful I couldn't resist." With a smile he leans down and kisses her hand. Blushing, Emily says, "It's a pleasure to meet you Tyler, my name is Emily." with a smile she looks up into his dreamy eyes and only wishes she could be closer, close enough to kiss. She decides to invite him along on a picnic near the river by the forest. Then she could get to know him. Emily says, "Would you like to join me for a picnic by the river? I would love some company."

Tyler was surprised by her lack of anger. He lost his focus and became visible right in front of her.
Being the polite gentlemen he was, Tyler took her soft hand in his and kissed it lightly. Straightening up quickly, his face red.
"Would you like to join me for a picnic by the river? I would love some company." asked Emily.

Tyler hesitated. He didn't want to go into the woods. What if Emily had sent the other girl Ali in there to wait for him. So when he was distracted by Emily, they could ambush him.He wasn't afraid of small petite girls. But there was something about the two blonde girls. When he looked up at Emily again he knew he wouldn't be able to hurt her or her friend.

Tyler met her eyes hoping his words were sincere, "I'm sorry. I cannot come with you. Maybe I will see you again another time." he winked at her at the end of his sentence. His lips twitching, fighting a smile at his inside joke.

Disappointed by Tyler's last remark, Emily says, "Oh, well maybe some other time?" Tyler looks at her and says, "Yes, maybe some other time. It was nice meeting you Emily. I hope we can see eachother soon." And almost as quickly as he came, he left.

Tyler walked away into the forest disappearing quickly... He didn't know a lot about Emily. Only one thing was obvious. She was good.
He didn't know why he was drawn to her the way he was. But Tyler knew he wanted to see her again. He just didn't know if that would bring danger to her. Since he wasn't too good at all.

Soon after he left, Emily's little sister, Isabella, traveled up the dirt path in search of her older sister. She saw a mysterious looking man disappear into the forest. Isabella could hear his thoughts. She stopped and looked towards him. She heard him thinking about Emily, and how he wanted to see her again. Isabella wondered how her sister met this guy. And wondered whether she had feelings for him like he had for her. She quickly ducked behind a bush as soon as he turned around. He probably heard her gasp in surprise from hearing her sisters name. As soon as he convinced himself he was alone, he disappeared into the forest.

Tyler heard someone's intake of breath and looked over his shoulder quickly. Pausing to see if Emily had followed him. He saw no one there, but wasn't fooled by that knowing what he himself could do.
He was confused for a second, because he had never met anyone else that could turn invisible. But he kept walking, listening for anything behind him.

"That was a close call!" said Isabella.
She got up, fixed her hair and dress and was on her way. She was certain Emily was in town, so being the tag along she usually is, she decided to follow her. In the back of her mind she had a strange feeling about that guy.

"That was a close call!" a voice said.
He whirled around, but the voice had come from a distance. Tyler started running towards the voice. But he was so shocked that he stumbled down knocking himself into a tree and falling to the ground with a dull thud, blood running down his shoulder soaking the front of his shirt.
The last coherent thought the tumbled through his head was, Only I could knock myself out by running into a tree.

Adira, walking through the forest, noticed him lying on the ground. Probably because she was looking for him. "Tyler?" She muttered, remembering his name from her visions

Tyler continued to lie on the ground, fighting unconsciousness...He was beginning to think he was going mad. A voice in his mind echoing "Tyler? Tyler...Tyler"

Adira sat beside him, checking his wound. "Tyler? Are you alright?"

Tyler realized the voice wasn't from inside his head, it was from next to him. He felt someone touching his head and froze. He didn't know who the voice was, all he could tell was it was a girl. And it wasn't Emily.

"Are you the person who was following me after I came from Town Square?" He asked accusingly. Rising so he could rest on his elbows. Watching the girl with narrowed eyes, as her brown hair swayed around her shoulders.

Adira frowned, "No. I found you here."

Tyler examined her, she seemed innocent enough. But there was something that was gnawing at him "Yeah? Then if your not the one spying on me who is?" he knew he shouldn't be angry with her, but he couldn't help it. He was mad at himself for being so stupid. Letting Emily play with his mind into letting someone follow him in the first place.
He made an apologetic smile at Adira "How exactly do you know my name?"

Meanwhile, Isabella heard a sickening thud in the forest. She turned around and started running towards it. She knew this had to have been from her vision this morning. She could see pain, and she didn't understand what that meant. She was running as fast as her legs could take her, her heart beating out of her chest, her long hair trailing behind her. Once she reached the forest she slowed herself. She didn't want to risk any injuries. She searched through a mess of foliage and long bare trees. Near the forests edge near the path she was walking along earlier, she spotted the man. The man she had been hiding from. Sitting beside him was Adira, a girl she knew from the village. Isabella walked over to where Adira was sitting and knelt beside her and the man. "What happened Adira?" said Isabella. The man started to regain consciousness, startling Isabella.

"I fell" said Tyler cautiously. "I know your voice" he added as an afterthought. He couldn't make the connection but he recognized the tone from somewhere.

Adira smiled slightly, "I know your name bec-" but she stopped. Most people thought she was crazy when she told them she could see into the future. She couldn't just blurt it out

Tyler looked away from the new blonde girl, back to the brown haired one as she spoke, then broke off in the middle of her sentence.
weird things were happening today. First he had met Emily, and she had talked to Ali.
And now he was next to these two girls. Both of them looking guilty.
"You BOTH need to tell me who you are and why your here. Starting with you" he said nodding towards the brunette.

Adira frowned, she didn't like being recognized as a nod of Tyler's head but she realized he didn't know her name. "I'm Adira. And I came here because I had a feeling I was going to be here. I get visions of the future and that's how I knew your name." She muttered before realizing she had just slipped. Great.

Tyler's lips were fighting a smile as he watched Adira fall to the ground. He stood up swiftly and offered her his hand. "To be Honest. There's some kind of thing going on today, and i'm not surprised at all."

Adira smiled gratefully. She hated when people freaked out. "Well, that's good to know."

Tyler smirked. "To you maybe. To me, this is the weirdest day of my life."

Adira laughed, "try seeing into the future! All your days are weird."

Tyler grinned "well i'm glad i'm not you then!" he didn't know who Adira was, but she seemed like the kind of girl you'd want to be friends with. But not the same way as Emily.

Adira smiled wide, easily. "So why did you fall? I never say that part."

Tyler didn't know if he wanted to tell her the truth. He was embarrassed at his own stupidity. But he figured she would know if he lied. Tyler grimaced.
"I ran into a tree" he muttered grudgingly.

Adira tried not to laugh, but she failed terribly. "Really?"

((g2g))

"No of course I didn't. I lie and make myself look like a mental case to impress girls everyday!" He laid the sarcasm on thick. Annoyed she would ask. "And I also tripped over nothing and fell into the mud, oh no. Wait. That was you Miss Adira. " he shot back at her.
She stopped laughing.

He looked back over at the other girl, who was now smiling. He addressed her this time "Well." he asked expectantly," why are YOU here?"

Adira laughed, enjoying Tyler's sarcasm. But she turned to Isabella, waiting for the words she had already heard

Tyler continued to look at the girl expectantly.

((yeah lawl))

"It's so strange here," Megan thought. She walked down town square with nothing but the clothes on her back, and her bow and arrows. She could feel all these strangers staring at the back of her head, she kept her head low, trying not to attract attention. "You'd think they'd never seen a stranger before..." she whispered to herself. She kept walking, thinking about how she got here.
It was all so blury, there were things she saw and remembered from her past, but they weren't quite clear enough to remember. "But everyone has a childhood, why can't I remember mine?" She thought. Megan wanted to stop and ask someone why she woke up just on the edge of town square, at least that's where she thought she was. But she knew the strangers would question her about herself, but she couldn't even answer most of those questions. All she could remember was her name was Megan, she has bow and arrows and needs to find some food before she goes hungry. "Maybe there are some apple trees around here," she thought and started heading for the trees not too far away...

Adira suddenly froze. "Megan." she muttered, spinning around

"Did you say Megan?" said Tyler turning towards Adira.

"Yes. She doesn't remember. I've been looking for her." Adira muttered, in a sort of trance.

Tyler grabbed Adira's arm. Forcing her to stay where she was. "Adira wait" his tone scared, "what do you want with her?"

((Tyler lives with Ali, and Megan's Ali's sister. So they all kinda care for each other!))

((oh! nice to know, lawl))

Adira tugged at his arm slightly, her eyes going gold. "She needs to remember. She doesn't know." she muttered

"No." Tyler's voice had turned violent. "you need to tell me want you want with her" His eyes had a hard edge to them. The bright green turning pale gray.

Adira's eyes turned back with her force. She blinked a couple times, trying to find an answer to his question. "She doesn't remember anything. But she has to, it's important. If she doesn't...."

Megan kept loooking back, thinking she was hearing voices. There were a few people up ahead, but she ignored them. "Here they are," she set her bow and arrows down next to her and started climbing the tree for some fresh, red apples...

Tyler didn't understand what Adira's words meant. He looked at Adira, her eyes were blank, a strange goldish color. They were shining. "Tell me." he pleaded.
He glanced at the blonde girl, she looked just as surprised as he.

Adira was shaking, "I don't know...nothing good comes of a loss of memory. I don't know why she's so important but we have to get her's back."

"Fine." Tyler spat at her. He looked around for Megan. Wondering if Ali was with her. "well" He looked at Adira expectantly "where is she!"

Adira closed her eyes, "In a tree, at the moment. She's looking for an apple. Her bow will be leaning against the trunk"

He hesitated. Glancing at the blonde "You haven't got away with anything. You'll explain another time." She grimaced at his hostility but nodded and turned walking in the direction she came. Tyler then gestured for Adira to lead the way.

Megan picked the first apple and bit into it. "Amazing how good food can taste" she thought to herself. Then she didn't move, she could hear people coming closer to the tree she was sitting in. She'd left her bow down below! She'd need to work on her survival skills. Hoping that the strangers wouldn't see her and not notice her bow, she waited...completly still

Adira looked up, grinning slightly. "Megan!"
