A/N: Hi, guys!

I wouldn't be writing this story about little Emma, but yesterday night I had a dream. It wasn't about OUaT but it was really similar so I decided to recreate it slightly and use it. I'm sorry that I'm not continuing my other story Just Believe... but I don't have an inspiration and I can just make myself write it right now. I hope you will like this one because I really liked my dream.

PS: I don't own anything.

Emma's POV

I woke up in the darkness. The room I'm staying in has 4 walls with a door and also a tiny window with bars. I can't leave sometimes I'm just looking trough my window watching people in the village. They were trying to rebuild it, and they had a lot of work ahead but they look happy. It was weird but the village reminded me medieval times.

I don't know what happened there but I also don't know how I got here or where the hell am I. The last thing I remember is when I was crossing the town line of some small town with a strange name... I think it was called Storybook. But as I crossed the line everything started to twist and after that, I remember only darkness.

My life wasn't great before because I'm an orphan without parent's always on the run from my foster family. But now? I don't have a life I can't even go to fresh air. I can't run this time I'm trapped. The time is passing, one day after another and I have no idea how long I've been locked in here. The only thing I know is I have to get out. But how?

Some heavy steps pulled me out of my thoughts. I could hear as the key slid into the keyhole. And then the door opened. The tall man was standing there in armor with a sword in a sabretache.

"Get up girl!" he ordered me with a strong voice. I decided to stay quiet and ignore him, but it didn't help me. He walked toward me, grabbed me and carried me. His grip was too strong so I couldn't break free and even if I did I wouldn't know where to run. The corridor we were walking trough had stone walls and torches. And then I realized it was a castle.

We stopped in front of a woman sitting on the throne in the throne room. It was so much light there, my eyes weren't used to it but as soon as they did I looked at the woman. She was wearing black dresses. Her hair was dark and lip had a color of red, but when I looked in her eyes I could see hate and anger. I looked across the room where were doors, but it was impossible to run because I was surrounded be knights.

"It was time to bring to sunlight because you are almost as pale as your annoying mother," the queen said.

As my mother? What was she talking about? Did she know her? How could she?

"I'm done here. Kill her. Don't need her anymore, the curse was broken even without her," she said without any emotion and after that, she disappeared in a purple cloud.

I think my heart just skipped one beat when she said it. She wanted me dead, and I had to admit that I was scared. I looked around hoping that some kind of a miracle happened and that would guards disappear. But unfortunately, they were still there leaving me with no way of escaping.

Then the doors opened wide and men on horses stormed inside. They were armed with crossbows, bows, and swords. They reminded me a group of bandits.

The queen's guards started to fight. I started to run but one of the guards grabbed my wrist. But I wasn't going to give up, this was the best chance I've got since I was here. I kicked him as hard as I could and then I ran. One of the bandits noticed me and help me to climb on his horse.

"Go, keep her safe we will be right behind you," someone shouted to the man who helped me.

"Okay, Little John we will meet in the camp," and then we moved.

We rode on the dusty road away from the castle. The trees were everywhere. It was so amazing to see the nature again, be so close to it.

I looked behind and for my relief, the castle was far behind us. As I turned back I saw something else. The village I was watching from my window.

"Are we going to that village?" I asked from curiosity.

"Yes, that is the safest place for us right now. And sorry for not introducing myself earlier but I was kind of busy. My name is Robin, Robin Hood."

"My name is Emma."

We were almost there when we could hear more horses. We suddenly stopped.

"Get off the horse," Robin told me. Horses and guards were closer and closer. "Run!" now he shouted at me.

I quickly tried to climb off the horse. But I slipped and I hit my leg when I landed on the ground. It hurt a lot, but there was no time for hesitating. "Emma, run to the village. People, there will help you," he shouted at my as he turned his horse and went to fight.

I started to run as fast as I could but I was slow because of my leg. The village was really close I was almost there but one knight followed me. I speeded up.

TBC...
