This story is set between S1 and S2 of OUAT


Quinn

It has been two days since Emma arrived. Two long days. What makes her so special? Her blonde hair? Her green eyes? What. Is It. The town loves her. She is all they talk about. Leroy came into my shop the other day for a new tattoo and all he did was talk about how stupid it is that people won't shut up about her and yet, he wouldn't shut up about her. Hypocrite.
- Quinn 10-24-15

I shut my journal with a thud and sigh deeply. I look over at my alarm clock and am surprised to find that it is almost closing time. I set my journal down on my bed and quickly descend the steps to my shop. When my foot hits the rough wood of the floor, my shop bell jingles, indicating someone is here.

"Quinn?" The familiar voice of Sheriff Graham reaches my ears.

"What's up Sheriff, I'm about to close up shop." I say, walking through my wooden archway into the front of the parlor. I pretend I don't notice the small frown that graced his lips.

"I've been wanting a new tattoo for awhile now an-" Graham starts

"No." I cut him off.

"Can't you make an exception for me Q?" Graham asks.

"Don't call me Q." I snap and send him a glare.

"C'mon Quinn, it's a tiny one, I promise." Sheriff Graham continues giving me a small smile.

"No, have a good night Sheriff." my tone grows hard and commanding.

"Goodnight Quinn," he says quietly before exiting through the door.

I follow him and wait until he is halfway down the block before flipping the sign to 'Closed'. I turn off all my lights downstairs before slowly trudging up to my "house" as I like to call it. It has been a relatively slow day and I'm ready to settle down and watch Netflix. When I arrive in my room, cold air hits my face in one huge rush.

My window is open.

And my journal is gone.


So let me get a few things straight because some people sent me some not so nice messages about this story.

A. it is my story, so if you don't like it then don't read the damn story

B. Time has stopped in Storybrooke but the people of Storybrooke still age, just slower than usual. Which explains why Quinn is 21 when Emma arrives instead of 15

C. Graham is going to stay alive throughout this whole story, sorry about it.

D. ARISTA IS SNOW WHITE AND PRINCE CHARMING'S ADOPTED DAUGHTER. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DON'T READ THE STORY.

E. Arista and Quinn are obviously the same person.
