***NOTE***
I have decided to try this new format for writing the story. It isn't exactly a play or script but it is written in a similar format. I do not usually write my stories like this but I thought it would be interesting for this story. I know it isn't exactly traditional but it was fun to do. Please let me know what you think of the format. Thank you!

The Sheriff's Station
The air was cool and the sun was just beginning to peak out over the trees. Emma pulled up in front of the sheriff's station in her yellow bug. She wrapped her red scarf around her neck and pulled a coffee mug out of the cup holder. Then she stepped out of the car and walked up the steps towards the station. She unlocked the doors and flicked on the lights. She put her coffee down on the desk and hung her coat up on the coat rack beside the former sheriff, Graham's old coat.
She had just sat down at her desk when her phone began buzzing. It nearly vibrated off of the desk before Emma answered it.
ES: Hello, Sheriff Swan…. Mom? …. Mom, what is it? ….. Wait, what?... Alright, I will be right there.
Emma hung up the phone, grabbed her red leather jacket and darted out of the Sheriff's Office. She slid into the front seat of her yellow bug and drove down to Main Street. She spotted her parents standing in the middle of the road. Quickly Emma parked the car and jogged over to them.
ES: Mom, what is going on?
MM: We just were on our way to Granny's and we saw her here.
Emma stepped past her parents and saw a woman lying curled up and unconscious on the ground.
MM: Who is she?
DN: I don't know.
ES: Wait. Neither of you have ever seen her before? Are you sure, not in the Enchanted Forest or Arendell?
DN: No. David looked up worriedly.
ES: Well then how did she get here? It is not like people can just stroll into town.
MM: Alright, while I agree this is something we need to figure out I suggest we get this woman out of the middle of the street. It is freezing out here. We need to get her to the hospital.
David swept the woman up in his arms and slid her into the passenger's seat of his pickup truck. Mary Margret followed behind with Emma in Emma's yellow bug. At the hospital Mary Margret, David, and Emma waited for Dr. Frankenstein to comeback with a report of the woman's condition.
DW: Who is this woman?
ES: We don't know yet. It is kind of hard to question someone when they are unconscious.
MM: How is she?
DW: Well it is hard to say much without knowing who she is or anything about her medical history, but I believe she will make a full recovery. We have treated her with warming blankets and with some rest I am sure she will regain consciousness soon.
MM: Thank you, Doctor.
While David, Mary Margret and Emma anxiously waited outside the stranger's hospital room a man dressed in black pants, a black vest and blazer greeted them.
KJ: So while I have grown to appreciate the gelatin molds that they force feed you in this place, I would not have arranged for us to rendezvous have you called me here?
ES: Hook, I am glad you're here. Do you see that woman in there? Do you recognize her?
Killian looked through the window and into the dreary hospital room. He eyed the woman lying unconscious in the hospital bed.
KJ: Sorry, love can't say that I do. Who is she?
DN: That is just it. We don't know.
ES: She was spotted lying in the middle of Main Street and called the station. We brought her here and now we are waiting for her to wake up so we can figure out who she is.
KJ: Have you consulted Henry's little fairy book?
ES: Actually that is a good idea. I will go call Regina and tell her what is going on. If she is from the Enchanted Forest she should be in the book.
Killian looked back through the window at the woman in the hospital bed. He was sure he had never seen her before, but there was something about her that felt familiar to him. Emma called Regina to ask her and Henry to come by the hospital. Emma instructed them to bring Henry's book of fairytales.
ES: Hey, thanks for coming.
RM: What is the issue this time, Swan?
HM: Mom, is everything alright?
ES: Yes, everything is fine. This morning David and Mary Margret found a woman.
RM: Excuse me?
ES: Emma sighed. She was lying unconscious in the middle of the street.
RM: She is probably one of the twelve dancing twits. They are always dancing around town until they pass out.
HM: Mom! Henry smirked at Regina. He knew she had not meant it to be mean. She still just had a sharpness to her that most people did not recognize.
RM: Regina sighed. Ok, ok… So what you want Henry to see if this mystery woman is in the book?
ES: We were hoping the book may give us some clue as to who she is.
Henry pulled the brown leather bound book out of his book bag and handed it over to his mother, Emma. Emma led the way to the woman's hospital room. Standing outside her room Emma flipped through the book searching for the woman's face in the various pictures.
HM: Any luck, Mom? He asked Emma while peering over her shoulder.
ES: She snapped the book shut, No. she does match any of the people in this book.
MM: Is that possible? I mean is everyone in Storybrooke actually in that book?
ES: Just about. She shrugged as she looked back at the woman in the bed. If she isn't from the Enchanted Forest then where is she from?
RM: More importantly how did she get into town if she didn't come with the rest of us?
DW: Peeked into the hall from inside the woman's hospital room. She is regaining consciousness.
The crowd that had gathered in the hall rushed into the room as the woman's eyes fluttered open. They all anxiously waited to hear her speak.
DW: Hello, I am Dr. Whale… He froze and glanced over at Emma. Suddenly he wondered if this woman was someone who could be trusted… Dr. Whale. You are at Storybrooke's General Hospital. Do you remember how you got here?
The woman eyed each person who hovered over her and timidly shook her head.
DW: Can you tell me your name? He asked softly.
The woman's brows pinched together as she thought. Her eyes filled with tears after a moment.
ES: Alright, can everyone just give us a minute? Emma interrupted.
The crowed filed slowly out of the room. Dr. Frankenstein closed the door behind him. Emma closed the blinds on the window that looked out to the hall in order to give her and the woman some privacy. Then she pulled a chair up beside the woman's bed and took a seat.
ES: You must be very frightened right now. The woman didn't reply. She just carefully watched Emma.
ES: No one here will hurt you, I promise. My name is Emma. It was my parents, David and Mary Margret who found you and brought you to the hospital. Storybrooke is…. a very small town and a very close knit community. When my parents saw you, a stranger lying in the street they immediately jumped into hero mode if you will. They just wanted to make sure that you were alright.
Emma explained to the woman in the hopes that she would gain the woman's trust. So you don't remember anything about how you got here? Again the woman shook her head.
Out in the hall Regina, Henry, David, Mary Margret and Hook all stood around anxiously waiting for Emma to come out with some kind of information about the woman.
RM: How are we supposed to find out who this woman is if she doesn't know herself?
DN: It is possible she got into some kind of accident and can't remember who she is.
RM: What are you speaking from experience? David glared at Regina.
KJ: The Prince is right. Maybe she crashed one of those Automobiles you are all so keen to ride around in, and now she does not have any recollection of who she is.
RM: Ok, but that still doesn't explain how she got into town. The protective shield over the town does not just make it invisible to outsiders it also acts as a barrier to block out any one from crossing over the town line.
About an hour later...
MM: Emma has been in there awhile perhaps she has learned something about who this woman is. They all sat out in the hall for almost two hours before Emma slid through the door.
RM: Well? Who is she?
ES: I don't know.
RM: You mean to say you have been in there all that time and you could find out anything.
ES: No, she does not remember her name. She does not know anything about who she is or how she got here.
KJ: So what on Earth were you in there talking about for so long?
ES: Emma shrugged. Different things I guess.
MM: I am sure she was glad to have someone to talk to. Mary- Margret smiled encouragingly at Emma.
RM: While this is all great and dandy we still don't know who she is. More importantly we do not know if she is dangerous or not.
ES: She seems kind, maybe a bit scared but I don't think she is harmful.
RM: I swear, Swan if you try and tell me that your silly superpower has told you that we should trust this woman…
ES: What do you want me to tell you, Regina?
RM: I don't know! Perhaps that this strange woman is not going to cause some creature to attack the town or that she won't enact some curse.
KJ: I have to agree with the Evil Queen. It would be nice to know that we can actually enjoy more than a week of peace.
ES: I know, I agree with you. But what can we do? Would you have me follow her? Hook, Regina, David, Mary-Margret, and Emma all stood exchanging a look.
DN: Until we can figure all of this out someone should stay here with her. Right now everyone is nervous, and this is the best way to put our minds at ease. With any luck she will remember who she is and how she got here soon.
Hook looked over his should at the door to the woman's room.
KJ: I will stay here with her. It is more important for all of you to be out working, trying figure out how she got here. I can help by staying here.
DN: You expect us to leave a Pirate on guard duty? He replied sharply.
Emma stepped forward in between her father and Hook.
ES: No… It is a good idea.
DN: You really trust him? What if…
ES: Yes I do. She smiled at Hook. On more than one occasion he has proven he wants to do the right thing.
David exchanged glances with Mary- Margret hoping she might back him up.
MM: I trust Emma, so if she says we should leave Hook here then I am for it. Plus if Emma is right about this woman than we have nothing to worry about either way.
