Back Story
It's cold, you pull the blanket around you, as you stare at the other kids running around the room. They're all happy and care free, because they're young, you know they'll be gone soon. You how ever have been in this same orphanage for 2 years know, after your parents died. You watch kids come and go everyday. But you stay because nobody wants a 13 year old girl, about to be 14. You sigh, you know your trapped. You hear the clicking of heels coming towards the door. The door opens and Miss Walker (one of our caretakers) comes in. She has a smile, as she greets you all.
"Children now behave, we have a family coming in." You sit up and watch as she closes the door. And the kids return to playing. Shortly the door opens again and a tall woman with curly blond hair, and a red leather jacket enters; following close was a young boy about your age a bit younger maybe, and finally a man taller than the woman who first entered, he has a scruffy looking beard. And then Miss Walker.
"Children settle down." Miss Walker looks around at use. "Now then... this is Emma." She points to the tall blonde who now has a name.
"And Neal, and Henry." She says pointing to the man, and then to the younger boy. You watch as the kids greet them with high pitched squeals of glee. You just sit on the couch. You've seen families like this, but sadly they are always looking for younger kids. You watch as the younger boy eyes you. He begins walking towards you. Now standing in front of you he puts out hand greeting you.
"Hi I'm Henry." You take the boys hand um you mean Henry's hand and shake it.
"Can I sit." He gestures towards the empty space next to you. You nod, as he takes a seat. He smiles at you.
"What is your name?"
"Kennzie."
"Well nice to meet you Kennzie." He smiles once again. You watch the blond woman previously mentioned as Emma walks up to you, the man, Neal follows her.
"What's your name kid." Emma asks.
"Kennzie." You actually smile this is the first in along time, that you actually have a chance. They ask you question and you answer. After a while you are asked to pack you things. This is it you have a chance, a new shot at a family and a home.

It's been 3 months, and you are really happy. You smile a lot more. You have learned a lot of things about Henry, Emma, and Neal. Like how Henry is Emma's child but was in foster care. And how Emma was also in foster care. But you also learned about another world one you read about in storybooks as a kid with your mom. You had even visited the realm they call home once again, and you listen to the story's Emma, Henry, and Neal tell. You enjoy them. But you have only encountered these "storybook" characters once. When they where rebuilding their castle and world. You know Emma and her mom (Snow white) communicate through magic somehow. You are told that you will be leaving in about a week or two to visit this realm once again.
