It was the morning of Saturday, March 8th. The light of the early sun shone through the curtains of Emma Swan's window. The young woman groaned as she found it impossible to shade her eyes from the suns rays. After giving up her fight with mother nature, she made her way into the bathroom. The cold white tiles of the bathroom floor stung the soles of her pale feet and they made a patting sound as she forced her body to the sink. As she turned on the faucet to wet her toothbrush she looked up at her reflection and blinked sleepily. Applying toothpaste to her toothbrush seemed harder than it looked for Emma, her brain was still partially asleep and her eyes shut rhythmically although she tried to keep them open.

She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face. As the cold water stunned her cheeks she cringed and instinctively searched for a towel to dry her face. After she was awake and dressed, she grabbed her wallet and made her way to the cafe around the block, it was part of her usual morning schedule. Emma took her regular seat at a velvet covered booth and ordered her usual morning drink. Her beverage quickly arrived and she blew at the foam that rested atop.

As she brought the cup to her lips a loud crash startled her and caused her to drop it.

"EVERYONE ON THE GROUND AND GIVE ME ALL THE MONEY IN THE REGISTER!" A voice yelled.

Everyone in the cafe crouched down, but Emma sat in her seat in utter shock. She wasn't sure if it was because of the burning she felt on her thighs from the spilled drink or the fact that the cafe was being robbed. As she looked closer she noticed the figure of the robber, it was a woman. The black sweatshirt she wore hugged her breasts and the tight leather pants met with her knee high black boots. The robber kept her gun out and pointed at anyone who made any sudden movements. Once the money was retrieved she began to run towards the door.

It was at that moment when the woman stopped. She hadn't realized the blonde in the booth who had disobeyed her instructions until now. She turned her head slowly and made eye contact with Emma. At that moment Emma felt as if her heart gave up, she wasn't sure what was going to happen. As her body cringed a bit and her arms were pulled up to her face for some sort of protection, she heard a deep chuckle escape the other womans mouth. Emma slowly pulled her arms back to her sides and gulped.

The woman who was dressed in all black pointed the gun straight at the blonde. Emma waited for her to pull the trigger, she could feel her heart beat quicker than normally. Just as the thief began to pull her finger back, she placed her gun in her pocket and sent a hazel eyed wink in the blonde's direction.

The crowd that was still crouched down, watched in awe awaiting to see what would happen. There was a wave of silence that overcame the cafe, not even the breathing of the crowd could be heard. A large cloud of purple smoke began to engulf the thief and just like magic, she was gone. The crowd slowly rose from their positions and looked back and forth at each other reassuringly.

Emma rubbed her head , not completely understanding what had just happened. She got up from her seat and felt her sticky drink from earlier on her dark blue skinny jeans. Everyone's eyes gazed at the blonde as she got up.

"I..I better get home, so should you guys." She said swallowing nervously. As she walked out she could hear the commotion in the back. There were people crying, as the fear from the incident caught up to them. There were waitresses and waiters on the phone with the local law forces.

Emma slowly walked back to her apartment blankly. She wasn't even sure of what to make out of the situation. She removed her soiled jeans and threw them in the dirty laundry pile.

She sat on the bed and sighed, pulling her knees up to her chest she brought her quilt over her head and hugged tightly onto another pillow. She wasn't sure when she would get out of bed, or if she would ever understand what happened at the cafe but there was one thing for sure, she wanted to see the face behind the mask.
