Aurelia wasn't upset about making a stop in Lowell, Massachusetts. It was just one stop on the way to New York. And one other place she hadn't seen before. But after seeing the shady, rundown apartment building Lily apparently had lived in, Aurelia was starting to see what Killian meant about the outside world being nothing like Storybrooke.
There was trash littering the hall, police sirens outside, a baby crying from one of the apartments, and a strange man roaming the halls.
"Why did I go through the trouble of creating Strorybrooke when I could've cursed everyone to live here?" Regina asked.
"It's not so bad," Aurelia said, kicking at a scrap of newspaper. She let out a loud yelp as a large rat ran by and she gripped Regina's arm. "Okay, so maybe it's kind bad. I think I'm gonna wait outside."
"No. No splitting up. Plus David and Hook probably wouldn't even let us back into Storybrooke if we let something happen to you" Emma said.
"That's if we don't get rabies just from being in here" Regina sighed. Emma rolled her eyes before knocking on the door of what was supposedly Lily's apartment.
But it was a man in an apartment a few floors down that answered.
"Yeah?"
"Oh, sorry to disturb you, we're just looking for Lilith Page. Is she around?" Emma asked.
"No, she ain't around. Not for years" the man said.
"You know where she moved?" Emma asked.
"Lady, she ain't movin' nowhere. She's dead" he said.
Emma was shocked as she looked at the man. "What?"
"Car wreck a couple years back. Pretty sure she was drunk. Not that anyone missed her. She was weird one. You know, kept to herself. Of course she had one of those personalities that you wanted to stay far away from. A real loser-"
"She was my friend!" Emma shouted, pinning the man against the wall.
"Emma!" Aurelia shouted as she and Regina pulled her away from the man.
"It's not worth it," Regina said. "Come on. Let's go."
Guiding Emma outside Aurelia turned back around to the man, coughing and slumped against the wall. "Sorry about that. You have a lovely home by the way!"
─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"Wanna talk about what happened back there?" Regin asked as they sped down the street.
"Nope," Emma mumbled, focusing on the road.
"You nearly put that guy through a wall," Regina said.
"I was...mourning a friend. Can you understand that?" Emma asked.
