Chapter 1 - A New Life
The grief was so raw. I could literally taste it in the air. Looking up I see Regina unrolling a tiny scroll. A tear rolls down her cheek. Showing emotions so openly was wrong. For her that is. It pulled at my heart to see her this way.
"Regina..." I hear myself say.
She looks me straight in the eyes. Indescribable pain shows in her hazel eyes. "I know what I must do."
"Magic always has a cost." Neal says. Briefly looking at the spot his father had just died.
"What is the price to pay?" My mother asks. Earning Snow a quick glare in her direction.
"None of your concern. It is my price to pay." Taking a deep breath she starts muttering under her breath. A purple mist erupts from her palms. Surrounding us completely but overall overtaking the last power of Peter Pan.
The smoke was all over. I could feel it in my lungs. It was getting heavier every second. Making it harder to breathe. A horrible headache was forming...
"Aahh..." My voice sounded deeper. Lower than the usual norm. My head wouldn't stop spinning. I needed to lay down.
"Shh baby. Mommy is here." A soft voice said. My eyes were closed but I could feel sheets within my grasp.
"Your spoiling the child. Leave it be. The maids will take care of it." That rough voice startled me.
"Enough Charles! Leave us be." The soft voice replied angrily.
Slowly opening my eyes I see a pair of beautiful blue-green eyes. She smiles at me. Curling a hair over my ear. Her face seems so familiar.
"How are you feeling?" She asks. Her hand heading for my forehead. Touching it so tenderly.
"What happen?" Ugh did my voice sound so wrong.
"You got a head injury while you were riding your steed." (Steed = Horse)
"My steed? I don't remember..." All I remember was the purple mist in the air.
"Your majesty. If I may speak?" A weird looking guy suddenly drops in his knee. Wow who the freak did he come from? Turning my head around I see we were not the only ones in the room. Not that I don't remember ever getting in a room in the first place. Several women were dress real old fashion wise. All looking at the Lady beside me. As if waiting for her next command...
She gives me a look and nods. "You may speak doctor."
The doctor dude was so nervous when he looked at me. Staring down at the floor once I caught him staring.
He coughs and says, "The young prince may have gotten a concussion. A slight memory loss may be in effect. The fall as many witnesses can testify saw him fall drastically. If by any indication his head wound is severe by all means." He bows as soon as he's done talking.
"Emmett." The lady says. A royal lady by the sounds of it.
I find myself staring at the ceiling recounting the days event. So deep in thought I forgot the lady sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Emmett." She repeats. Who is Emmett? Seriously dude just answer her. Wait what am I here in the first place?
"Would you please stop staring at the ceiling and look at me son?"
Getting up in my elbows I see her staring right at me. "Yes?" I feel myself say. My throat suddenly dry.
"Emmett I love you so much son. Do you have any idea how scared I was? Bleeding all over the palace? My heart was pounding harshly every second I didn't know of your health."
No this couldn't be happening...The beat of my heart was raising quickly with each breath I took.
My name is not Emmett! My name is Emma! I wanted to shout it but for some reason the words wouldn't come out. My vision was getting all blurry.
My eyes felt so heavy.
My limbs were giving out on me.
Blackness quickly overcame all my senses.

The light coming from outside was ruining my sleep. Shining brightly through the curtains. Best sleep ever seriously. Drinking some of the water by my bed side did I notice I was on the same room as last time. Throwing my covers aside I felt the cold tile beneath my feet.
How did I get here? But most importantly why am I a guy? I could feel the extra limb between my legs. My boobs were so long gone and in it's place was a hard chest. Picking up my shirt I see some scratches and bruises. But the thing that stood out the most was that I had ABS!
Strolling around my room I noticed it's so well kept. Everything was organized in a neat pile. Now I know this is not my room. Chuckling at my stupidity I finally take the courage to peak outside my windows. I felt my jaw drop down on its own accord. It was a kingdom! Just outside my window!
"Emmett?"
Turning sharply I notice a small girl had entered my room. She was softly padding soft steps in my direction. She looked so adorable and innocent. Pale skin with black curls surrounding her head. Dark blue eyes looking with concern at me.
"Snow?" I smile. I could recognize my mother in a second.
"Mother said you had an injury. Said I couldn't come but I had to see you!" She said quietly. Tilting her face down once she finished speaking.
Dropping my knees to the floor. Right in front of her I grab her chin up. I smile softly at my mother. If I had to guess she was 7 years old. I have to finally admit that my family tree is so messed up.
"I'm fine. I fell while riding my steed in the afternoon." Going with the story I was told last night. I had to keep this reality check to myself.
Slowly she brought her tiny hand to my forehead. Touching delicately the wraps surrounding my head. Standing up in her toes she gave me a soft kiss in my injury.
"I have to go before mother catches me in your dorm." She blushes.
"Off you go..." I whisper in her ear.
I see her smile brightly. Practically skipping out of this room. But before she turns the knob she stop and looks at me.
"Yes?"
"Your betrothed will be arriving soon. Please be nice." She gives me a look. Clearly stating to "behave". Even at such a young age she can still pull it off.
I grin at her. "As you wish princess."
