Chapter 1

1x01 Pilot

Mom was livid. Frantic, but also livid. Graham was here trying to help. I stayed put in the living room, staring intently out the window. My baby brother Henry was still gone. He had told me last night he would be leaving. Henry said he was going to find his birth mom but he promised he would come back. I wanted to go to be with him, but he almost started crying begging me to stay here, he said I would get hurt if I tried to leave again. Mom came home around 5 today after work and totally lost it. She screamed at me asking why I didn't call her when I didn't see Henry after school. As if it's my fault he wanted to leave to find his birth mom. Mom called Sheriff Graham immediately and filed a missing persons report. Which are non-valid anyway because he hasn't been "missing" for more than 24 hours. That's what happens when you live in a small town and the most action they see around here is when somebody double parks. Approaching headlights outside snap my attention back to the window. A small yellow VW bug stops in front of my house. That has to be Henry! I get up and slowly move towards the door. Mom is in the office with Graham, I can hear them talking. Ever so quietly I move towards the door and outside. I see Henry standing with who I assume is his birth mom.

"Henry!" I start running towards him as he turns around.

"Lucy!" Henry wraps his arms around me as I pull him into a massive hug.

"She is freaking out Henry. I tried to cover for you, said you were probably at dinner with Archie but she didn't believe me."

"It's okay." Henry turned towards the woman. "Lucy this my birth mom Emma." Emma gave a small smile towards me.

I reached out to shake Emma's hand, "Hi I-." The three of us turned as we heard the front door open.

"Henry! Henry. Oh, are you okay?" Mom ran at Henry and embraced him. "Where have you been? What happened?"

"I found my real mom!" I watched as Henry turned and ran inside visibly upset.

Mom paused then turned towards Emma shocked. "You're Henry's birth mother?"

"Hi…" Emma awkwardly replied.

Mom turned towards me, "Lucy can you go check on your brother please."

Reluctantly, I left. I felt bad leaving Emma alone with her but I didn't want to make mom madder.


I knocked on Henry's partially open door. "Hey Hen, can I come in?" Henry didn't acknowledge me so I pushed the door open and sat down next to him on his bed. I sighed, "What's wrong? You got what you wanted, didn't you? You found your birth mom."

Henry shook his head. "It just-, it's, it didn't change anything!" Henry replied sounding exasperated. "She was supposed to save everyone, and everyone was supposed to get their happy endings."

"Henry, she's just a person. She's not a super hero. It's nice that you found her and I'm glad but don't expect her to be more than that."

"Lucy don't you ever wonder?"

"Wonder what?" I inquired confused.

"About your birth parents?"

"Oh…Sometimes yeah I wonder but I mean, Mom loves us and there's a reason they gave us away and if they didn't want us then, than why would they want us now?"

"No, Lucy! Your parents didn't give you away! You just don't remember them you were separated by the curse."

I put my arm on his shoulder as I shook my head, "Henry… there's no curse. Its not real it's just a book okay, my parents gave me up," I choked a little bit, "they didn't want me."

"No your wrong!" Henry leapt up towards the window.

I sighed and silently stood up and went to my room, there was no point in arguing, this is the only thing he's been talking about. After I closed the door I put on my pajamas and crawled into bed. Henry's fairy tale idea had been something that's been carved into his brain for a while, since Ms. Blanchard gave him that book. I dismissed it at first but after the accident I had started wondering. Right after he finished reading it Henry had been going on about how nobody except him could ever leave. I told him it was ridiculous and I would prove it to him.

That day we went to the border by the "Entering Storybrooke" sign. I had told him I would be able to cross just fine and I started walking. When I was about 1 foot away from the border I took a step got and my foot sank down into a hole, and I fell and twisted my ankle. It turned out to be a bad sprain. Of course Henry freaked out thinking that this was confirmation of his delusions. The thing is though, I was looking at the ground before I set my foot down. That hole wasn't there and then in an instance it was, almost like magic. When I pulled my foot up and looked down the hole was gone. Mom was furious because I had to be on crutches and Henry was convinced that his fairy tales were actual events that happened now. I didn't tell him about the hole, mostly because I didn't to further confirm these beliefs. But it often nagged at me and the only explanation I could come up with is that Henry is right and I wondered what was in store for us now that the Savior was here…
