Fabletown Library.
The mirror on the wall that the flying monkey bufkin usually uses to spy on others while drinking some wine was now.
''That stupid monkey!... blew.'' Said the mirror looking like he was about to throw up. And he did…two people come out of his mouth.
''aaaaaah'' Scream both Lee and Clementine.
Bump
Lee and Clementine felt all dizzy after going to appears to be a huge hole. They didn't know where they were at that moment, but it was far away from the walkers, so it was a plus.
''Oh, dear lord, what have you done? Idiot?" Scream the mirror.
''I don't know…I just say a spell and bum.'' Said Bufkin all nervous.
''Who is talking?'' Asked Lee all confused.
Lee didn't know what was happening. One minute he was seeing like he was about to die. And now he was in a completely different place.
''Where am I? Is this a library?'' Thought Lee worried
The ex-teacher tried to make sense where he was, but he didn't have time for that. He had Clementine to worry.
''Urgh.'' Said the little girl in pain.
''Clementine are you ok?'' Asked Lee
''My leg hurts.'' Said her
''Is ok, we are safe.'' Said him.
''Where are we?'' Asked her
The two looked around and saw that they were in what was essentially a huge library. It was taller than the ones in that school that they passed, but this was no time to think about that.
''I don't know.'' Said Lee worried.
''You are in a library at the moment. Fabletown Library to be specific.'' Said Bufkin.
''Who said that?'' Asked Lee.
''I'm right here.'' Said Bufkin
''Where?''' Asked Lee looking at the sides and seeing nobody.
''Up.'' Said Bufkin.
The two survivors look up and only saw a green monkey with…wings.
''A monkey?'' Asked Clementine.
''that's correct my dear.'' Said Bufkin.
That made both Lee and Clementine have a minute of horror. Even after escaping the walkers, that was creepy as hell.
''AAAAAAAAH.'' Scream the two.
''Monkeys don't talk! Was I bitten?" Asked Lee looking for any bites.
''No Lee you weren't bitten. Thank goodness.'' Said Bufkin.
Lee didn't know what was more horrifying. The fact that the monkey could talk or the that he knew his name.
''How do you know my name?'' Asked Lee
''Is because this idiot kept watching you two.'' Said the mirror.
Lee and Clementine turn their backs and saw the glowing green mirror with a face. He was with a look of ´´what´´, that alone made the two scared again. It was a really strange day.
''AAAAH.'' Said Clementine scared.
''What hell is going?" Asked Lee
''Hell is a right word to describe all this.'' Said the mirror.
''What is going on? Are you some kind of effect?'' Asked Lee.
''Oh man, bufkin you totally screwed.'' Said the mirror.
''I told you that I had no choice. I couldn't let them die.'' Said Bufkin
''You know what kind shit show is going to happen if anyone finds them out.'' Said the mirror.
''What is going?'' Asked Lee.
''Well, if the ape is not going tell is not gonna, I might as well say. That primate over there is called Bufkin.'' Said the mirror.
''Hello.'' Said Bufkin.
''And you are?" Asked Lee
''I am the magic mirror.''
''Magic mirror as in ´´mirror mirror on the wall´?'' Asked Lee. That was a popular story.
''Of course, in fact I am the same magic mirror from story.'' Said the mirror.
Lee and Clementine were now more confused and scared with all this.
''Lee I´m scared.'' Said Clementime.
''don't be Clem. I will get a way out of here.'' Said Lee.
''Hey, I know what can make you two feel good. Do you two want some food?'' Asked Bufkin.
Lee and Clem didn't know what to say, but their weak stomachs were begging for some food and now.
''Sure bufkin.'' Said lee.
''oh good. I will grab some.'' Said him
Lee and Clem saw the monkey fly away. That remind them of The Wizard of Oz, but that was just a movie. Soon the monkey arrived with a plate full of fruits and some breads.
''Here we go.'' Said Bufkin.
''These apples look delicious.'' Said Clem ready to eat.
''Wait Clem! It might be poisoned.'' Said Lee.
''Oh bother. This again?" Asked the Mirror.
''don't worry is safe. Nothing here is poison see.'' Said Bufkin eating some grapes.
''Oh good.'' Said Clem getting some fruits.
''Wine?" Asked Bufkin offering Lee the wine.
''You drink wine?" Asked Lee
''He does…a lot.'' Said the mirror.
Lee didn't know if all this was a nightmare from drinking too much. He hoped to wake up and pray to god that everything was just a dream.
'Not now. I am good.'' Said Lee.
''If I were you two, I would eat as fast as you could.'' Said the mirror.
''What do you mean?" Asked Lee.
Soon they heard the door from the library starting to make some noise. Which means someone was coming and only two people usually appear in that place.
''oh no someone coming.'' Said Bufink.
''Who is?'' Asked the mirror.
Bufkin took a snip of who was coming toward the place and his worst fears have become a reality.
'Oh no is Bigby and Snow.'' Said Bufkin.
''Who are they?" Asked Lee
''Bad news. One is a rude wolf and the other is a cold-hearted woman.'' Said the mirror.
Lee didn't know what to do. The way the mirror and the monkey were talking, it seems those two weren't nice people.
''What we do?'' Asked Lee.
''If I, were you the best plan is hide. Go behind some of the bookshelf's, this place is huge.'' Said the mirror.
''Ok. Come Clem.'' Said Lee.
''Lee what are we going to do?' Asked Clem.
''Let's wait them to leave.'' Said Lee.
Lee and Clem hide behind the mirror and behind a bunch of old books. There was a space to breath and to see.
''Who are they?' Asked Lee seeing Bigby and snow.
He saw the huge and very hairy man and the beautiful dark haired woman. They appear to be talking about business of this place.
''So how was the talk with Jack?' Asked Snow.
''It was ok, although we should start to put a file on that guy.'' Said Bigby smoking
''don't worry, I will give his old articles once I find them. In this huge mess.'' Said Snow all tired.
''I can give a hand if you want.'' Said Bigby.
''don't worry. I can handle this.'' Said her.
Lee was seeing the two. They look like coworkers, but they have a couple vibe.
''Are they like a couple or something?'' Thought Lee.
''Bufkin!'' Scream Snow.
''right here miss white.'' Said the monkey.
Lee was nervous, if that monkey blew it off he and Clementine were dead.
''Were you drinking?'' Asked Bigby smelling Bufkin.
''A little bit.'' Said the monkey.
''You shouldn't drink in working hours. We discuss about this.'' Said Snow all angry.
''Really sorry miss white.'' Said Bufkin.
Snow could see something was wrong in the flying monkey. He is usually very chipper, but today there was something off.
''Why are you nervous?" Asked her seeing the monkey shaking a little bit.
''No, I am not.'' Said Bufkin with a smile.
The two didn't buy that and on the hiding spot Lee and Clementine were pretty much begging for nothing to go wrong.
''What did you do bufkin?" Asked Snow all cold and serious.
''Uh…'' Said Bufkin nervous and that got worst when Bigby appear.
''You better say pal. Or I will have to do the talk.'' Said the sheriff.
''Alright I will talk.'' Said Bufkin nervous, he couldn't handle being asked by Bigby.
Lee and Clem were now nervous. That stupid monkey was going to rat them.
''I got so drunk that I destroy most of the old citizen files. Jack include.'' Said Bufkin with a while lie, thought that was partially true.
''Oh no, bufkin you idiot. You know how hard to do!' Said Snow white all furious and almost to the point of strangling the monkey.
''i´m sorry miss white.'' Said Bufkin nervous.
''Well, I thought it could be worst.'' Said Bigby with a smile.
''that's it. For now, on, I will confiscate all wine from the office. No liquor enter here.'' Said Snow.
''Yes, miss white.'' Said Bufkin all sad.
''Huh that serve that idiot right.'' Said the mirror.
Lee and Clem were now calmer, their hide out was still safe for now.
''Well, I guess I have a lot of work to do.'' Said Snow all tired.
''Yes, I also need to be leaving and…'' Said Bigby.
However, the sheriff stop in mid-sentence upon smelling something in the air.
''What is wrong Bigby?" Asked Snow.
''I smell something.'' Said him.
''And what is it?'' Asked her.
Lee and Clem were looking at each other nervously. That guy was bad news.
''Blood.'' Said Bigby all serious.
''What that…'' Said lee confused on how a man could smell blood that good.
Before a new thought come to his mind, Lee was taken out of his hide out and grabbed by the shirt by a pissed off bigby.
''aaaaah!'' Scream Lee scared.
''WHO ARE YOU!'' Scream Bigby with his eyes glowing.
''Lee!'' Said Clementine scared.
''don't worry Clementine. Run!'' Scream him.
''What is going on here?" Asked Snow white.
'I can explain.'' Said Bufkin
Both Lee and Bigby look at the monkey and the poor fool looked like he was about to get more in trouble.
''Honestly, you should just stay at your bed drinking wine today.'' Said the mirror.
