So I just came up with this great idea in my head so I thought why not? I'm only going to do this as a test. I'm not sure if this story will be any good but I'm willing to give this a try.


Emma Swan. Eighteen years old and attending school at Storybrooke High. She was the most unpopular or popular whichever way you see it. She was the most unpopular with no friends and she was also the most popular to pick on. Her life at Storybrooke High sucked. Now that's what it used to be like. Now her life is bright and lively. Our story takes place two years ago. Emma was only a sophomore and she was miserable. That is until one fateful day in the abandoned bathroom.


"Rumor has it, there's a mirror in the abandoned bathroom. Who ever recites the magic word while looking at your reflection three times is tied to the soul trapped in the mirror," a girl says.

Emma doesn't bother turning around. She shuts her locker and heads to her last class of the day. If she's lucky, she'll be able to leave without being harassed by the bullies. She walks through the hall with her head down and begins her trek to the exit. Unfortunately, she wasn't so lucky. She was grabbed by the arm and was shoved into the lockers. She looks around in panic but everyone was already out the doors, impatient to get home and begin their weekend. Emma looks at her attackers. It was Killian Jones, the school's most popular boy at school. Next to him was his girlfriend, Milah Gold. Her twin brother Robert Gold and his girlfriend Belle French was standing with him.

"Now, Swan," Killian said with his Irish accent. "Where do you think you're going?"

Emma didn't speak.

"I asked you a bloody question. Now answer me."

"I was just going home," Emma said quietly.

"Well that's too bad. You're coming with us."

With that he grabs her arm and leads her to the other side of the school. Emma knows better than to fight against him so she just follows him instead. He and his gang stops in front of a bathroom door with a sign that reads "Out of Order". Belle, Robert, and Milah all turn on flashlights and they all head inside. It was dark inside the bathroom. It looked like a normal bathroom if it wasn't for the dirt that covered most of the surfaces. They had Emma stand in front of the mirror and wiped the mirror somewhat clean with the paper towels.

"So here's what you're going to do," Killian began. "You're going to say the magic words and we're going to see what happens."

"Why don't one of you say it?" Emma asked.

"Because, Retard," Milah replied. "we don't want to get cursed with bad luck until we graduate from this hell hole so you're gonna do it for us."

Emma looked back at the mirror contemplating. Everyone knew the rumor of this bathroom. Rumor has it, the soul of a girl was trapped in this bathroom mirror. Whoever says the magic words would forever be tied to the girl's soul and would be cursed with bad luck until they graduate. No one knows how the girl got in there. Just that the girl should never be set free because if she is, she will wreak havoc on the entire world. Emma already had enough bad luck so she said the magic words.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"

They waited...and waited...and waited. Nothing happened. All that was heard was the group's breathing.

"Well that was a waste of time," Robert announced. "Let's get out of here."

Killian shoved Emma to the dirt covered ground and ran out with the others behind him. They found a chair and shoved the chair under the door knob. Emma got up and had to feel her way through the dark. She found the door and felt for the door knob. Once she found it, she twisted. Nothing. She tried again. Still nothing. She sighed. Locked in a dark abandoned bathroom. Emma began thinking of ways to get out but stopped when the mirror began to glow. In it wasn't her refection. The surface was covered with purple clouds. Emma reached out to touch it but was only met by the cool surface of glass. The clouds began to dissipate a few moments later and was replaced by the image of a girl. It was the most beautiful girl Emma has ever seen.

"Who are you?" Emma asked.

"Is that really a way to greet someone?" the girl joked.

"Sorry. My name's Emma."

"I'm Regina."

"What are you doing in the mirror? How did you even get in there?"

"I've been here for the past ten years."

"Ten years?!"

"Yes. You see there are some people in the world who have magic. I'm one of them and I trapped myself here when a spell went wrong."

"Magic? Spell? This has got to be a joke."

"No joke."

"Okay," Emma said cautiously. "Say I do believe you. What kind of stuff can you do?"

"I can move things from behind this mirror and appear on any other mirror that comes into the school. I don't age here so my real age would be 36 instead of 16. I can only come to those who summon me though so since you summoned me, I will only appear to you. Nobody else will see me in which ever mirror I appear to except you."

"Seriously?"

Regina nods.

"Okay, then," Emma breathes. I need to get out of this bathroom.

She hears a scraping noise outside.

"Done," Regina smiles.

"Okay, I believe you," Emma says quickly.

Regina chuckled. "Just get out of here. I'll see you tomorrow."

Emma nods and walks out of the bathroom and out of the school. It was just a mind trick, she tells herself. But she couldn't bring herself to explain how the chair moved out of the way. She just shakes her head and heads home.


I know this is a short chapter and I'm sorry but I promise the future chapters would be longer. Tell me what you think. Should I continue the story or not? How do you guys feel about Regina trapped in a mirror? Don't worry, she'll get out eventually.
