GHOST OF YOU
:: xxxii. | bloody hell


A few days had gone by since the return of the evil queen. Everyone was going about their life because like always, the heroes had it figured out. As long as they came to the rescue, no one really had much to worry about.

Regina made it clear to Cassandra to stay clear of the evil queen —— at least try to. She couldn't help it if the queen came to her, but she's been trying her best.

Soon enough, she got up from the table and put her plate in the sink.

Once the two were near the door, Cassandra helped Roland put his shoes on. She grabbed the keys off the small table that was in the entryway.

"Walk or drive?" She dangled the keys.

"Walk. Better time for first timers like you." He smiled.

Cassandra nodded, "Agreed."

She was just about to open the front door when Roland suddenly turned the other way, rushing towards the staircase. Cassandra turns in his direction about to ask where he was going, but . . .
