Ella woke up and looked around and didn't recognize where she was. She saw a blond woman sitting in the chair next to her bed and another dark haired woman laying at the end of the bed.
Ella heard footsteps coming toward the room where she was and around the corner came a handsome gentleman who immediately ran to her side when he saw her almost spilling whatever was in his hand.
"Ella! Snow, Emma, wake up!" The man said to the confusion of Ella.
The man put his hands on her face and kisses her head as the two women came to
They to immediately rushed to be close to her and were expressing their joy at seeing her awake. Ella didn't understand any of this.
"Ella?" The blond woman said with a concerned look
"Who are you guys? Ella finally said
"The dark haired woman immediately started crying and the man was comforting her
The blond woman sat on the bed and looked directly at Ella. "Ella, I'm going to ask you a few questions and I need you to answer them as best you can okay?"
"Okay, but can you tell me where I am?" Ella asked starting to panic at the fact she didn't know how she had managed to get to this house with these people
"You're in Storybrook Maine" the blond woman said seeing the panic in Ella's eyes.
"I know that place" Ella said feeling a little better
"Good!" Said the blond, "now, can you tell me your name?"
"You just said it, It's Ella" Ella said I little confused by the question being they already knew the answer.
"Good, what's your last name?" The blond continues
This one took Ella a minute but then she remembered what she thought might be the right answer. "Nelson"
"Alright, how old are you?" The blond asked the next question
"17" Ella answered
"Okay and who are your parents?" The blond asked a little hesitant
Did she even have parents? All of her memory was so foggy that she honestly couldn't remember.
"I don't know" Ella replied beginning to cry a little.
"It's okay, the blond said" seeing how distressed she was.
"What happened?" Ella started to get upset
"Ella you and Emma got into a car accident and she hit your head pretty hard. You have been unconscious for the last few days" said the man who now had his arm around the dark haired woman
"Who is Emma?" Ella asked
"I am" said the blond "I'm also your sister"
"I have a sister?" Ella said starting to feel guilty for forgetting that "So if you are my sister are they our brother and sister to?" Ella said pointing at the couple.
The blond, Emma, started laughing "No, those are actually our parents but they do look young, we will explain it all in time" she reassured Ella.
"Okay, so you're my sister, there my parents, our parents, and we are in Storybrook Main. Did I get that right?" Ella said trying to make sure she got everything straight
"Yes sweetheart" the dark haired woman said
"Okay, now what are your names, besides mom and dad" she said pointing at the people she was told were her parents
"My name is Snow, and this is David" the dark haired, Snow said
"Okay" Ella said trying to put all the things she was told to memory before she moved on
"And so I got into a car accident and hit my head and that's why I can't remember right?" Ella continued
"Yes el, that's all right" David said with a smile.
"So what is our last name?" Ella asked knowing that she had just guessed on that question
"Nice catch kid! Your last name is Noland so you weren't too far off!" Said Emma
"What do you mean my last name? Isn't it all of our last names?" Ella said catching Emma's phrasing
"Well you're still perceptive as ever. My last name is Swan but that will be explained later okay?" Emma reassured Ella.
"Are you hungry? Snow asked
"Um...sure" Ella said
"Okay I'll go make some grilled cheese" Snow said exiting the room
"She does that when she feels helpless, you'll get...well re-used to it" Emma said sarcastically
"Ignore her" David said "We were really worried about you is all"
"Can I use the restroom?" Ella asked feeling a need to escape their stairs
"Of course! But let me help you, you haven't walked in a few days so your legs may not be stable quite yet" David said coming up to the side of the bed
"Thanks" Ella said as she put her arm around David's shoulders so he could support her weight
He had been right that her legs were a bit unstable so she was glad he had been there.
"Just yell when you're done and I'll help you back to bed"
Once she was alone, Ella broke down into tears from pure frustration of wanting so desperately wanting to remember these people who claimed to be her family. But she knew that they would probably be listening so she tried to cry as silently as she could with very little success.
