The Rose Thorn Chapter 1: The dream ends: Storybrooke
Storybrooke grew silent and eerie although this was uncommon for young Remi the silence and loneliness was normal. She stood staring at the town clock with a burning expression. The larger hand moved ever so slightly and stopped again. Remi smiled to herself, so much was changing in Storybrooke and the old world was beginning to crack through. Remi stood staring intently at the clock her glossy black hair blowing fiercely in the cold wind which drafted an almost electrifying energy through the town. Remi turned and ran down the street and watched as people slowly began to remember their true identities. Remi peeked round the corner and watched as people started to swear revenge on the queen.
"SNOW!" a voice shouted Remi saw David running to Mary Margret and they both rejoiced as they remembered their once lost identity. Remi had not always remembered her true identity but an accident had provoked her true memories. Remi had fallen down the well and knocked herself unconscious but as the water drifted over her head she slowly began to remember who she was and her true purpose. She was Regina's daughter.
Remi stood still watching and was eager to see if Regina would make an appearance.
"Of course not" Remi muttered to herself still hiding from sight worried she could be recognised. Remi stayed in the shadows and made her way to the mayor's house and looked thought he bars and watched the shadow of Regina pacing in her window. Remi cautiously looked around and climbed over the gate and silently landed on the other side, she ran quietly up to the house and pulled out a key from her pocket and let herself into the house. She made her way to the living room in which Regina paced by the window. Remi had often ran into her mother in town but she hoped that now she would remember her.
"What should we do?" Remi asked. At this Regina jumped turned to face her, her eyes full of rage and confusion.
"Do what exactly?" Regina hissed clenching her fist her eyes burning. Remi backed off confused at her mothers attitude towards her. "Do what?" Regina said growing angrier at the intrusion. Remi fell silent so confused by the reaction.
"Don't you remember?" Remi choked. Regina stepped closer almost seething.
"Remember what? That my power is fading on this town?!" Regina snapped. Remi gulped and backed off more.
"No that I'm your daughter!" She blurted. Regina softened and laughed sarcastically at Remi.
"Go home and find your true self whilst you still can" Regina said threateningly turning back to face the window. A tear rolled down Remi's cheek.
"I said go! And don't you ever come here again. I have only one child and his name is Henry and I fear I may have lost him!" Regina barked at her. Remi held back the tears and sighed and left the house shocked at what she had just heard.
"But the curse has been broken" Remi whispered. Remi listened as she heard a wolf howl in the distance.
"Red" Remi whispered and ran down the path trying to locate the noise. Remi ran into the centre of the town now losing the location of the howl. Remi sighed and burst into tears at what had happened. Remi leant against a lamppost and slid down it crying.
"Remi?" a voice whispered. Remi turned and met the gaze a middle aged woman. Remi sighed and remembered her adoptive mother Merida in the other world. Remi nodded. "Oh my sweet Remi" Merida said kneeling down and hugging her tightly. The warm embrace was something Remi had forgotten as the curse had made her homeless. Over Merida's shoulder Remi caught the sight of Mr Gold pulling along a woman towards the toll bridge. Mr Gold looked over to Remi and smiled at her wickedly
"Its him, it's his fault she doesn't know who I am" Remi whispered angrily watching his every movement. Remi shook off the embrace and stood up slowly glaring at Mr Gold.
"I'm going to find out" Remi growled.
