This is my first attempt at Fanfiction EVER so please be kind. Hopefully will get a new chapter out sometimes next week. Thanks :)
The storm had been brewing for days now. Frankly, Emma had gotten tired of just staring at the swirling clouds over the town's cursed clock tower, and it seemed the others had too. Life began to go as normal, but with a slight twinge of anxiety. Sometimes waiting for a disaster is worse than the thing itself.
Emma's brain pondered the seemingly blatant omen behind wrinkled eyebrows one evening in Granny's.
"Thinking that hard will give you wrinkles." Emma looked up to see Snow White sitting next to her in their usual booth. She hadn't even noticed her entrance.
"With my luck, watch me get crows feet before you. As if we don't already have trouble explaining how you're my mother to strangers." Snow just silently laughed off Emma's lovable gruffness.
As the night wore on, more of their ever-extending family joined them in their booth and then, when no more space was available, began to spill out into the surrounding booths and chairs. The fading sun highlighted the bruised colors of the clouds hovering over the town.
"Never good. Bad stuff's gonna start happening," Grumpy mumbled from his counter spot in his own usual, stunted way.
"Well at least we've had a bit of a reprieve. Nice of the bad guys to give us some times off, " Snow chimed in from under David's arm.
"Okay Energizer Bunny, that's enough optimism from you today," Regina rolled her eyes.
"Regina, I really wish you would find a way in that heart of yours to see the beauty in..."
Just as Snow began on her usual spiel about seeing the goodness in all, a sudden burst of lightning erupted from the center of the swirling mass over Storybrooke. The blinding light was accompanied by an Almighty crack and suddenly the only thing any of them could hear was a loud ringing from their own heads. After the bright light, everything seemed dark in comparison to Emma, but then she realized all the electricity had gone out.
Stumbling outside, Emma and David led the way to the pool sized crater in the center of town's main road. In the darkness, they couldn't see the extent of the damage. Emma grabbed her flashlight from her keychain and began inching her way toward the edge of the crater.
"Please be careful," Snow called to her from behind. Emma didn't respond. Finally close enough to see the bottom of the half globe, Emma peered down into the dark. Two young people apparently knocked out, but very much alive was possible the last thing she expected to see.
"Well shit."
Who are these two? Send me reviews and questions, but no hater please!
