Chapter 1: Just a baby Swan
10 year old Emma Swan believed that she was alone in this world. No family, No friends, just her and white baby blanket. Something that she held near and dear to her heart. Because of this blanket, one that was so soft and handmade, with her name sewn into it, was the only reason why she believed that her parents once loved her. Something bad must have happened to them. Why else would she be all alone?
Emma sat under the tree at the local public school she attended. She was an orphan, and everyone knew that. The teachers pitied her, the kids teased her, and strangers thought of her the same way someone would a stray cat. It was after school and all the kids were in a rush to get home. But not Emma, she only wanted to sit under the tree and watch the birds walk around on the ground looking for food to eat.
One bird landed right on her left converse. He just starred at her. "Hey little fellow? '' she coed.
"Look if it isn't the weird Swan girl, talking to birds again".
Emma looked up and noticed three girls standing above her. She rolled her eyes. "Hey, fuck you Nicole, why don't you shut up before I shut you up?" Emma rose to her feet, as the bird flew to a branch on the tree she was now standing under. She crossed her arms and dared the girl to say anything.
"Please, what is the little orphan girl going to do? '' Nicole stepped forward and pushed Emma, while the two girls in the back just stood there laughing.
Emma was about to push Nicole back before a large substance fell right from out the tree and landed on Nicole. She yelled and the two girls jumped back. "EWW! Nicole that is Bird poop"! One of the girls yelled.
All the kids that were still on the property turned their attention to the girls. They all began to laugh, including Emma after they saw what happened.
"Emma Swan I promise I will get you back"!
"I didn't do anything", Emma shrugged.
Nicole and the girls turned and quickly headed back toward the school. Emma turned and picked up her book bag, she didn't have to be back at the orphanage until 5:00 but she decided to go anyway.
"That was something huh"?
The voice startled her, "Holy shit dude, you scared the crap out of me". Emma said when she turned and saw a read headed teenager approaching her.
"You must be Emma Swan. I've come a long way to see you".
"Oh yeah? And who might you be"?
"My name is August Booth. I was a friend of your parents".
