Chap 1.

The Family.


There were a few unwritten rules in the town of Storybroke.

1)Never mess with the Gold family.

2) Never mess with Regina.

3) Never ask Granny for her recipes.

Mr. Gold, an old cripple in a wheel chair with bad health owned every building and every square inch of land that wasn't town land, and what land the town had came with about a dozen conditions after they bought it from him. He had a history of bad health for many years, and then six years ago he was permanently put in a wheel chair when he went and saved young Henry Mills from being hit by a car, damaging his spine so he couldn't reliably control his legs. The man who was driving the car was found a week later, but they could never prove it was him do to the mutilation of the corpse. Rumors of who did it were as common as Gold's renters, and that was not a coincidence. But no proof was ever found.

Mrs. Gold was the town's largest employer. Owning the cannery, the docks, the Dark Star pharmacy, and basically every other building which was a place of employment other then Granny's, city hall, the sheriff station, and the school. Even a large share of the Daily Mirror, the town's only news paper was owned by her. And the only person she didn't have securely in her back pocket was Sidney Glass.

Gold had four children. Three girls and one boy, the girls were very close, and their brother was very protective. Sarah, the oldest of the girls is 17, 5' 11" and a vision of beauty itself with ginger hair, deep brown eyes, and a figure that wouldn't quit, she could turn the head of any man in town with a pulse, and even the men without a pulse had a hard time not staring at her. But unfortunately for them she was a Gold, and not only was her father and mother EXTREMELY protective, but she was completely devoted to her father, almost never seen away from his side. It wasn't that she didn't date, it was just she never liked any of the boys enough to be willing to accommodate then over helping her father around the shop, and they in turn never were willing to except that her father came first in all things. And ever since his accident she was with him every day to help him in the shop because he insisted upon continuing to work there. She was extremely smart and socially adept.

Jane is 15 and the quite one, in every sense of the word, a beauty of a brunet with stunning green eyes, though often over looked due to her quite nature, and a healthy height of 5' 9" with a wonderful body. It was often thought she could sneak up on a ninja while wearing bells in the middle of an empty where house full of dead leaves. She had a near encyclopedic knowledge about everyone in town, that and she had a very disturbing knowledge about how to kill people in any situation with anything really, and often threatened people by giving a extremely detailed description about how she could hurt/torture/kill them, and it would never be found out, or how to fundamentally destroy their life from the ground up, so that when she was done they would be wishing she had just killed them. Combine that with the fact she was quite, very innocent looking and always genuinely happy while telling you your unfortunate end, and she was perfect for collecting the rent, often with her father unless he wasn't feeling well.

Abby is 13 and a combination of her sisters. Very pretty even at a young age with slightly larger breast then a 13 year old, or even 16 year old should have, curly red hair, long legs and well defined hips; she knows how to manipulate her looks to her advantage and defiantly isn't afraid to, much to her father's and brother's constant displeasure. She also has a habit of ending a conversation with someone she doesn't like with a simple 'it was nice talking to you, but I got to go and…' insert something gruesome like poisoning their dog or putting a razorblade in their bed, and loves to torment the nuns by asking if things most prostitutes would blush about were considered wrong or not, and she never spared them any details. All in all she is a sweet girl if she liked you and a demon if she didn't; it was just that most people get uncomfortable when she starts jumping up and down wanting to help Jane after she's threatened someone.

Gold's son's name is Danny, a ladies man for sure, no girl could resist him. He is also a perfect gentleman, and had a strong belief in only having sex with the girl who had his ring on her finger, and only after she had said "I do". Which on one hand made every girl from Page to Ruby want to marry him; it also frustrated them to no end. And the fact he was likely to inherit the largest portion of Gold's estate, being the only male heir and the oldest, defiantly made the already handsome young man almost irresistible. He also made it clear to every man in town that if any harm came to his sisters, emotional, physical or otherwise, he would, well. It's kind of hard to explain, it was the first boy Sarah ever dated, he said that Danny brought him out to the stables, and then just went and brutally killed and mutilated a 300 pound pig with a serrated knife and asked the boy to put himself in the pigs place. Oddly enough the boy only went on one date with her.

Henry has a wonderful relation ship with Mr. Gold, often coming to read with him and Belle, the Gold's private tutor/ live in nurse. He admired Gold like a father, even going so far as to requesting being aloud to call Gold dad, a request that brought tears to the man. Henry was often teased at school for having become friends with the Gold's, but a stern look from any of the family would shut the offender right up.

Belle had lived with the Gold's for years. Having left her drunk of a father and a very unhappy engagement to work as a live in nanny for Gold's children, they considered her to be like a second mother to them. And Mrs. Gold often said she wondered which mom they liked better, all of them having taken to calling her 'Auntie Belle'. After his accident, Belle became more of a nurse for Gold then a nanny for the children, becoming almost as close a shadow for him as Sarah. The rumor mills once every full moon or so would question whether or not Belle had been hired by Gold for more then just a nanny, but Mrs. Gold would often shut them up by explaining that if her husband ever did desire to bed Belle, he would only need to ask so she could decide whether or not she wanted to join in or not, and to make sure Belle didn't tire him out to much for when it was her turn later if she didn't want to join in. That and the fact that no one really could find anything mean to say to or about Belle shut them up quickly, or the mental images would scar one for life.

As it is Mrs. Gold loved Belle greatly, often praising her as a gift from above, and she adored her husband, and would do anything for him. She was also extremely protective of her children. But more in a protecting them from people wanting to press charges if they thought Jane or Abby was serious about a threat they had made. Because she knew that she certainly didn't need to protect them physically, and she knew they loved her and Gold.

All in all the family was strange, but they loved each other and cared for one another and nobody else in town.

And then Emma came. And the lives of Mr, Mrs, Danny, Sarah, Jane, and Abby Gold changed.


So what do you think. And yes, I'm not telling who Mrs. Gold is for a little while, want to torment you a bit.

Is she someone we know?

Is she an OC as well?

Am I being mean for the fun of it? Oh wait, that's kind of obvious.

So, leave a review, I have a few chaps already typed up, but I want you to have to beg for them. *Evil laugh*
