The dark Lilith [OUAT Peter Pan X oc]

Chapter seven: Graham

Lillian was in Granny's making her homework when she heard a drunken Sidney talking to Graham. 

''Nice shot sheriff.'' Lillian turned to Graham as he threw another bulls-eye. 

''I bet you twenty bucks you can't do it again.'' Graham's expression didn't even change and threw another bulls-eye, smirking he turned to Ruby. 

''Next one is on him.'' Lillian held a small chuckle and returned to her homework when Emma walked towards her and Ruby. She saw the disgust in Emma's eyes when she passed Graham and walked for the door when Graham hit the dart next to her. 

''What the hell? You could have hit me!'' Lily put her hand to her mouth to hide her grin. 

''Actually, I never miss. You've been avoiding me since last night when you saw me-...''Emma started to whisper to him. 

''Leaving the mayor? And yes, this is a euphemism.'' She snapped at him before pulling back from him. 

''I'm not avoiding you Graham. I just have no interest in having this conversation. It is your life and I really don't care about it.'' She then left before Ruby walked to Lily and Graham running after her. 

''Did she just figure out Regina and Graham are bed buddies? Honestly, it's pretty obvious'' Lillian nodded, sighting as she pushed her book away and shut it. 

''What's worse is that I was there last night.'' Ruby groaned in disgust before walking to another customer. Lillian started to play with her necklace. The small acorn caught a small bit of lights when she sighed, rubbing her forehead when she saw the time, it was already time to walk Henry to school. She put her books into her bag and placed some money down for the drink and a small tip for Ruby.

Rumple was working in the woods when he heard sheriff Graham panting for air. He got up and looked at him. 

''Good morning sheriff, sorry if I startled you.'' Graham looked up and shook his head. 

''No, no, I just... I thought you were a wolf.'' Gold faked a frown and smiled. 

''Did I forget to shave?'' Graham didn't respond, instead he asked another question. 

''What are you doing out here so early?'' Gold smiled and nodded at the shovel in his hand. 

''I'm just doing the gardening. Lillian's idea, and you know her... you can't say no to her for some reason. Yourself?'' Graham looked around himself before turning back to the pawnshop owner. 

''I was looking for-'' 

 ''A wolf? Yeah, I think I'm starting to catch up. But according to my knowledge there are none in Storybrook, no real one's at least. Why are you looking?'' Graham raised his shoulders and told him that if he'd told anyone they'd think he was crazy. 

''try me.'' 

 ''I saw one in my dream... and then one in real life, a few hours ago. Did you see anything unusual there?'' Gold shook his head and took a few steps forward.

''I'm afraid not. You know, sheriff. Some say dreams are just memories from an old life.'' Graham put his hand into his neck and shook his head. 

''What do you believe?'' Gold smiled and raised his shoulders. 

''I never allow anything out of my head. Good luck sheriff, I do hope you find what you're looking for.'' He then walked away, smiling.

Henry walked along side Lillian while she was swinging their locked hands. He laughed before he jumped onto her back. She grabbed his legs and ran to the school bus when she walked into Graham. She put Henry down in front of the school bus and waved before she walked towards the sheriff.
