Vampires can sleep…..Ruby=Red riding hood…Mat=Peter Pan…. Lenna= Sleeping Beauty and rumpelstiltskin's daughter ….Dr. Wolf= The Big, Bad Wolf….. Ashley= Cinderella… the others you can probably guess…takes place in December.. last chapter features the soundtrack for book one
Lenna's POV
People say to never let the past effect your future, but how couldn't I. I was a 18 year old who had been through a lot. I had been stretched to the limit, and bent until I almost broke. But my dad had said it would be better for us in Storybrook. I was rumpelstiltskin's (aka: Mr. Gold's) daughter. I was his only child, and maybe that was why he was so over protective.
I remembered my other life, unlike most people. Some still had things that had belonged to them in the earlier life, like Mary Margaret's ring; it had been a gift from Prince James Charming, or Ruby's love for red. I still had the dress I was wearing to the wedding of Snow White and Prince James, I still had my engagement ring, but that's a long story (I kept the dress in the attic, so no one would find it by accident) and I still had my mother's necklace.
I had been a member of King Mittus's court. And friends with his daughter. Through I was a friend to her; I was still on Snow White's side. I lived with my dad; because here I was a minor until Emma arrived, and I just turned 18.
I sighed at the sun setting on the horizon; it was almost time to go home.
Aro's POV
'Ah it's a letter from a very dear friend of mine' I said happily. 'Let me take a guess, Carlisle' Felix said. 'No' I snapped. 'Mr. Gold' 'Who?' Caius asked. 'A very old friend of mine'
He invited us to visit him and his daughter, (I had never met his child before) and when I think child, I think of a 6 or 7 year old. I had accepted his request, and selected what guard members to take.
I chose Heidi, Felix, Demetri, Alec, and Jane.
Lenna's POV
'Hello, dear' my dad said when I walked through the door. We ate dinner and I went to bed.
My dream was like a fairytale, but it usually was. Ruby, Mat and Ashley were all back in the stories that we had come from, but they didn't all happen the way most people think.
One Week Later
Mr. Gold's POV
'My dear friend,' Aro said, then he gave me a loose hug. I saw his guard had gone their own ways when they got to Storybrook.
Lenna's POV
'Are we even aloud in here' Ashley asked, a little too loud. True we probably weren't but if we didn't drink any alcohol, then we were still aloud. The room smelled like peppermint and vodka.
True, we were in a bar; all under aged. Ruby was 18, so were Ashley and I, and Mat was 19. But we knew everyone in the bar, except, of course, them.
They were sitting 4 bar stools away. One had deep black hair and was really tall. The other had dirty blond hair and a slightly above average height. Both had crimson eyes.
Mary Margaret walked in crying, she said David hadn't told his wife about them yet, and she was considering leaving him.
'Mary, it's gonna be ok' I told her, then she wiped away a few of her tears. Ruby and I turned when we heard a whistle let out for our direction. We turned and saw the man with black hair wink at both of us, then we looked back at Mary, completely, unfazed.
Felix's POV
They looked back at the woman having crying hysterics. To be honest, the woman didn't look much older than them.
One was in a white with black graffiti t-shirt and red skinny jeans, one in faded jeans and a sweater, the man with then was in black converse, a navy hoodie, and skinny jeans, the woman who was crying was in a white cardigan, white tank top, and a white skirt. And I couldn't help but notice the one Demetri was staring at. She was in black ballet flats, jeans, and a peasant blouse, with her golden; not blond, golden; hair pulled back in a ponytail, with curls pouring out.
I whistled, hoping to get their attention, and I did; but only for a second. I sighed, I couldn't help it, I was really disappointed.
Lenna's POV
'Let me buy you 2 a drink' Dr. Wolf said to Ruby and me. 'Aren't you married' Ruby asked, teasing him. 'And your point is' he asked her back. I could see this was turning into a private conversation.
I turned back to Mary, who was still crying. I noticed she wasn't wearing her ring. I couldn't help but sigh. She could let go of the past she didn't know….but I couldn't because I knew mine.
My engagement ring (which I now wear as just a ring) was given to me by King Mittus. Yes, the man who with a single touch could turn anything to gold. His power, for some strange reason, didn't work on me. When he proposed, he had given me the ring (the proposal, I of course accepted, which didn't make my father happy. I never knew if it was the king he didn't like, or his age.) I remember the evil queens comments about the ring, the marriage, and what I was doing. But I also remember how much blackmail I had on her both in our native realm, and here. I smiled remembering that little bit of information.
'Seems like they're having fun' Mat muttered, staring at Ruby and Dr. Wolf dancing. They're meant to be together. I thought. Literally, they were.
Dr. Wolf, in the other realm, was the big, bad wolf. He was part shape shifter, hence the wolf, and Ruby was a pretty girl.
I snapped out of my flashback instantly. 'Lenna, Lenna, have you been listening, I said your phone is ringing' Mat said. 'Oh' I said, a little embarrassed. I opened it.
My dad had texted me. I stared at the screen for a second, reading what he sent. Where are you! I texted him back and put the phone back in my pocket.
I texted that I was with Ruby, Mat, Mary, and Ashley. That part at least was true.
Demetri's POV
"Dude, if you like her, go buy her a drink or something" "she's already turned down a couple of drinks tonight, and besides, I don't like rejection". I sighed. Then I put my arms on the bar and started to think of ways to talk to her.
I decided to do what Felix said, and buy her a drink… or try to anyway.
Lenna's POV
'Can I buy you a drink?' asked a man, about 6ft 5 with dirty blond hair and a great smile. 'o-' then I got interrupted. My dad was calling again and said for me to come home, it was after midnight. 'Rain check on that drink' I said. 'Yeah, sure of course'.
I helped Ruby stumble into my black Mercedes. (Apparently, she let him buy her that drink then a few after that), I helped her into the house with my spare key, (she had one to my house too) told Granny goodnight and drove home.
When I got there, it was after 1. My dad had left a note on the coffee table. I read it aloud.
Dear Lenna,
Went to bed, see you in the morning.
Love, DadI was feeling tired too, so I walked down the hallway where at the end stood the wooden staircase.
I climbed the stairs quietly, opened my bedroom door, but I felt like something was different as I closed it behind me.
I stood in front of my bedroom mirror and saw who I was…..not who I pretended to be.
I saw a girl with golden blond hair in a floor length, yellow ball gown. I knew why this didn't happen to anyone else or with any other mirror; it was because this was a magic mirror. I had one, Regina had most of them, but they were hidden from Henry (surprise, surprise) and my dad kept one in his shop, one in the attic, and one in his room.
The wonderful thing about mirrors is the possibilities. They can be used to spy, to show you the future, the past, what you most desire, who you really are, and they can tell you what you want to hear.
I changed my clothes quickly, and went to sleep.
2 Days Later
Demetri's POV
I wanted to find her. She was all I had been thinking about for the last two days. Aro hadn't needed us much in Storybrook, but I thought there was something, I don't know, off, about everyone there.
I followed her tenor to a small, frozen pond. There, she was teaching a small group of kids how to ice skate.
'Good, now Avva put your toe pick into the ice and push off of it' the girl did as shown and did a perfect jump.
'Perfect,' she cheered.
I sat in my car until the lesson was over. I WAS NOT STALKING HER. I was just keeping a watchful eye on her. I didn't, for some crazy reason, want her to get hurt in any way.
When the lesson finally ended, she slipped out of her white and silver skates and sat on the railing on the outside of the pond. She waited until everyone's parents picked them up, but a small boy, with dark brown hair and a black pea coat was still sitting there on a bench, waiting for his ride. She walked over, handed him a foam cup full of hot cocoa with cinnamon and whip cream. He smiled. "Thanks" he said.
They waited there for a ½ hour. His ride didn't come. "Henry do you need me to drive you home" she asked the boy. He looked down and answered, "Yes, please"
She opened the passenger side door of her black Mercedes, and he climbed in.
Lenna's POV
'' You wanna go to See Emma or Regina?'' I asked Henry. "Emma, please, Regina probably doesn't want me around" "Henry, don't ever, for even a second, think that someone doesn't want you around'' ''Thanks, but I still don't think she loves me" I pulled into the police station parking lot. "Bye" I called out the window. "See you Friday night" he called back. Friday night I was babysitting, Regina had a 'town meeting' to go to. I knew about her and Graham, but I was one of the few who did. I smiled as I pulled away.
I noticed a small, silvery, very expensive car had followed me. They had been following me since I was teaching ice-skating at the local park. I decided that since I kept a handgun in the dashboard, I should be fine.
I pulled over on the outskirts of town, I decided that they might not want to hurt me, and if so, I could just electrocute them. (I have some of my father's powers, and I know how to use them)
I stared at the forest from the inside of my car, and then I got out and went deep into the forest.
I walked for about 20 minutes; then I stopped, and started to take it in. I sat down, and watched the sun start to set on the horizon, through the trees.
I heard footsteps, then I turned and to much surprise, the man who I'd met in the bar was standing behind me. Not right behind me, but only a few feet away.
He smiled then asked, 'what's a girl like you doing out in the woods?' there wasn't anything in his sweet voice but curiosity.
He was wearing dark business pants a nice jacket, and I just noticed something, his eyes were crimson, and his skin was pale white, like snow.
He sat down next to me, and smiled again, 'so?' I smiled, and then answered. 'I had a dream about this place' I said, looking off into the deep purple of the hills. We talked about anything and everything we could think of for a ½ hour, and then before I knew it, it was pitched black outside.
'I never got to buy you that drink' he said, smiling brilliantly.
