A/N: Hello and welcome to this, another story by Batgirl1! I know what you're thinking, she hasn't even finished the other ones, but this came to me and I just had to start writing it before it goes from my head. I ended up watching Twilight with my Mam and then I thought that this would actually make a pretty cool SQ story. This is based loosely on the Twilight movies, I do have a story in mind, but the heart of the story itself will mostly be loosely based on what happened in the movies, the idea of this is to centre mostly around Part 2 - but working up to that means background and characters progress will be from the other movies. There will be A LOT of jumping but I'll try and write so it's obvious which is a 'flashback. The characters are going to be based on the OUAT ones, who they are and what character they will be portrayed can be added as a separate chapter at any time as I've got them wrote out more for myself. I was going to try and do this from Emma's narrative, kinda like 'Interview with a Vampire' style, but then I realised that I hate stories like that, I can't read stories in first person narrative, so instead, I'm gonna just jump from Emma's point of view to the third person throughout, Emma's view could be at any part in the chapter, but I'm aiming for the start and in italics so it doesn't confuse in each chapter, all being well, and then the story will go from there. So without further ado, I hope you all enjoy. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ONCE UPON A TIME NOR THE STORY OF TWILIGHT, NOR DO I OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS ONLY THOSE THAT ARE MY OWN.
Side note: My other stories WILL be updated at some point over the next few weeks, I've had a bit of free time recently that I've dedicated to my fics so I hope to update Car Trouble, A Different Kind AND Fairytale, and I'd just like to apologise that I haven't updated the last two in forever!
My name is Emma Swan-Mills, and I'm, well, I'm not your average American girl. How you ask, well, let me start this story off with telling you a little about myself. I come from a small town in Maine called Storybrooke, well I live there, but I grew up in Boston and Brooklyn, anyway, the people there are normal, well, mostly normal, at least I thought they were, but my whole life changed, and only really began the day I started Storybrooke High and I caught my first glimpse of the woman who was about to change my life, forever, Regina Mills, well it's now technically Swan Mills. She, well lets just say that she made her intentions clear from the minute she sat beside me in Biology class on my first day, and god was she hot. Remembering that part of our story is actually quite easy, she had made it her mission to get me to like her, but remembering the rest is a little harder, how do you ask? It only happened a few years ago,? Well I know I only look like I'm in my early twenties, but I can tell you that our story started a LONG time ago, and it was all down to Regina. I can tell you that Regina Swan-Mills is no ordinary woman, in fact the Mills family in general are not ordinary people, they are by far the greatest people in the world, but not only that they are vampires, but we'll get to that a little later. You see, when I first arrived in Storybrooke, it wasn't a happy occasion, my parents, the only ones I ever really knew, had died in a horrific car accident before my sixteenth birthday, they weren't the youngest of people to have a teenage daughter, people often gave us looks when we went out, they had adopted me when my birth parents had placed me up for adoption, and they had been the best parents a girl could ask for, they were well in their late forties when I came to them, Lucy, my Mom, was a teacher, she taught at a high school for underprivileged kids in Brooklyn, my Dad, he was cop, Chief of Police in New York, they were great people, and they loved me so much, they told me that they couldn't have children, they tired for years, but it wasn't what God wanted, they had decided that after 20 years of marriage that it was time to add to their family, they got in contact with a adoption agency who had told them of a young couple who was about to have their baby and were putting her up for adoption, low and behold, that baby is me. My childhood for what I can remember was amazing, I wanted for nothing, and I was loved, so so loved, but when they died, my entire world crumbled, I had lost the only people I had called family, the day after the funeral, a case worker had called to the apartment and told me that as I was under 18, had no living family left, that I was going to either be put into the system as a ward of the state or I could go and live with my biological parents in a small town in Maine called Storybrooke, apparently my parents had written in their will that if anything was to happen to them before I was an adult that they had given their consent to find my birth parents and live with them, if they agreed, as they didn't want me to be alone. To say I fought her on it would be an understatement, but after doing some research into the foster system, my mind was made, with a final goodbye to the people I called my parents, I was bundled into the back of beat up Ford Anglia and was leaving the only place I had ever called home. The minute we crossed the town line in Storybrooke, my attitude had changed, these people had given me up, why was I giving them the satisfaction of getting to know me now, but then I remembered what my Mom had told about my parents,
"Ems, they weren't much older than you when they had you, imagine you having a little bundle of joy at 17 hum?" I sighed as I ran my hand through my unruly blonde hair, I had to give them at least a chance, I owned them that much, they had given me the best life, I had the best parents a girl could ask for, I went to the best schools, I had amazing friends, I could play guitar and I wasn't that bad at video games, as a tear slid slowly down my cheek as we pulled up outside a weather beaten building, I smiled to myself as I squared my shoulders and put up my walls, Emma Swan was not going to make it easy for these people to get to know her.
It had taken a few days to finally be comfortable enough to walk around the apartment freely. It wasn't big, two bedrooms, the biggest one was mine, up in the loft, with David and Mary having the one off the kitchen, it was a nice set up they had, but it was still so weird, the looks that Mary would give me, they were the same one my Mom would give me when I did something so simple as smile at the telly, or whistle when I walked into the room, she smiled at me like a mother, I had to take a deep breath every time she looked at me like that, yes she may have given birth to me, but she was not my mother, my mother had died only a week ago and I still felt it. But I wasn't going to be a bitch, no I was going to be nice, or at least try to be nice, cause I wasn't raised to be mean, I was raised to show love and respect to everyone, even if they didn't deserve that respect.
But little did I know that the next morning, my first day at a new school, would change my world completely.
"Emma, let's go" David Nolan shouted from the bottom of the stairs, he and his wife Mary Margaret had recently taken in, or back, whichever you prefer to use, their teenage daughter Emma, But you see, it wasn't that simple to begin with for David and Mary, for they had loved her from the moment she was born, but there were teenagers when they had her, not much older than Emma herself was now, and they had both decided to give their daughter up for adoption, it was a small town, they knew people would talk, they would talk more than they were doing at present, but if they were to arrive back from Boston with a baby girl they would surely be the talk of the entire town, so they had made the decision along with their very supportive parents, Ruth Nolan, David's mother, his father had died a few years previous when a young man he was chasing had turned on him and stabbed him with a broken bottle in the chest, he had bled out before the ambulance had arrived, Ruth had never truly gotten over it, and when her son had told her of his intentions to follow into his father's footsteps and join the local police force, she was hesitant, but realised that he was his father's son through and through,
Leo White, Mary Margaret's father, her mother Eva, had died not long after Mary was born, he was extremely protective of his only daughter but he had taken a liking to David when Mary had first introduced, to say that their parents were not happy when they broke the news they had gotten pregnant would be an understatement, Leo's previous liking of David had quickly turned to hate, and if not for Mary talking her father down, he would have had him strung up from the tree outside city hall, but over time, both parents had come to realise that even though David and Mary Margaret where just seventeen years old, they were stronger than anyone they had ever met, when they both had come to them with their decision to have their baby, but to place her up for adoption, their parents couldn't be more proud or supportive, yes they were young and yes they were giving a child up, they were being realistic, but they wanted to give their child the best possible chance at happiness, and that's why, when Emma Marie Nolan, was born, she was placed into the arms of Patrick and Lucy Swan, a older couple, in their late forties, who had tried for years to have children, but where unlucky, they took the baby, wrapped in a white knitted blanket with her name stitched into it in purple lettering and cooed at her, that was the last time they had saw her, so they thought that they would never see their daughter again, but when they got the call to say that Emma's parents had died and that she would be placed into the foster care system, they had decided then and there that they were ready, they were ready to be the parents they could be be,
"Yeah, I'm coming" Emma said as she looked at herself in the mirror once more, she wore a pair of skin tight jeans, a pair of brown boots, a white tank top and a red and black checked shirt open over it, finally a red leather jacket that her mother had got her as an early birthday present before the accident finished off the look, she sighed, took one last look into the floor to ceiling length mirror and smiled. Emma shouldered her black sachet bag and pushed her glasses up her nose as she descended the stairs, David smiled at her as he grabbed his jacket from the banister, handing Emma a brown paper bag as she walked past him,
"Grilled cheese, just the way you like it" Mary said as she walked out of the kitchen area, even though the bottom level of the apartment was an open floor plan, the room still had in some way managed to section off each area accordingly and you could still make out which area was what, Emma smiled at her,
"Thanks" Emma said, Mary beamed at her and reached for her to pull her into a hug, Emma froze, she was never one for hugs, but she was extra sure that she wasn't a fan of them from Mary, she had nothing against the woman, but it was still a lot to process for the teenager, so to spare the woman's feelings, she gently patted her back and pulled back a small smile on her face, Mary beamed at her again and walked over to her husband who was on his phone, she pulled him into a loving kiss before pushing him towards the door, Emma smiled, they were a cute couple, still young enough and obviously in love, she liked the idea that they had stayed together after they had her, it was something of a comfort to know that she didn't break them up, she had yet to meet her grandparents, something that she had told them on her first night that she wasn't ready to be introduced to a family she had no idea that actually existed outside of what her mother had told her. She followed David out and towards the police cruiser, Emma paused for a second and looked around, "If you're gonna take me to school, could you a least not pull up outside?" Emma said as she walked towards it, David just smirked and nodded opening the door and getting in, they were silent as they drove to the other side of town, it was less than a fifteen minute walk but both Mary and David had insisted that David drive her to school on her first day, she sighed, she didn't want go to school, she liked her school in Brooklyn, yeah, it was a bit more edgy and there was A LOT of bitching, but she liked it, she was no way popular, but she had her fair share of friends, Lily was her best friend, her mother Malorie, or Mal as she was affectionately called, had both taken her under their wing, her parents adored Mal, they thought she was an amazing woman to raise her child after her other mother had walked out on her when Lily was only a few months old, Emma had considered Mal like a second mother, and as she saw the school come into full view and David pull up along the footpath, she opened her contact list and hovered over Mal's name,
"Have a good day kiddo" David said with a smile, Emma turned and smiled back at him, he was a kind faced man, only 33 years old, he was blonde, like Emma and his eyes was a bluey green, unlike Mary who had black hair and brown eyes, Emma assumed that she got her hair and eye colour from him,even if her eyes had a little more green than blue, but she did notice the way Mary smiled, she smiled like that, although her smile wasn't as huge and Cheshire like as Mary's was, she just assumed that Mary was always happy. Emma smiled at him,
"Thanks" Emma said as she opened the door, she shouldered her bag once more and puffed out a breath before closing the door of the cruiser, she pulled the beanie over her ears and pushed her glasses up as she took the first few steps towards Storybrooke High, she lifted her iPhone, entered the pin and pressed the name at the top of her call list,
"I wondered when I'd be hearing from you again" the elegant voice of Malorie De Eficent came over the speaker of her phone and Emma's smile only grew,
"I know, it's be a long week" Emma said with a smile, Mal chuckled and Emma could hear the smile over the phone, "How are you?" Emma asked,
"Missing your face" Mal said, "Seriously, I didn't realise how much time you actually spent in my home until you weren't here, Lily is quiet, which is just strange in itself" Mal said, Emma smiled, she loved Mal, but not in the creepy childish crush way, she had gotten over that a few years ago, now, now she loved her just because she treated Emma like she treated her daughter, with respect and so much love but she was, probably the first woman that she had a crush on, and on New Years Eve last year when the clocks struck midnight, Emma had kissed her, she had blamed the alcohol that was in her system, and it wasn't a chaste kiss at that, Mal had been taken by surprise at first when fifteen year old Emma had corner her in the kitchen, but the way she gripped the back of Emma's jacket and pulled her closer, it left nothing to the imagination that Mal was very much aware of who she was kissing as her tongue had slipped into Emma's mouth causing both to moan, that was the first, but not the last time that Emma and Mal had shared a kiss, they had stolen moments in the weeks to follow, but the last kiss they had shared was three months later, Emma had stayed over with Lily after she broke up with her girlfriend for the third time, and Emma was currently standing in the kitchen, a pair of extremely short shorts that left nothing to the imagination and a white tank that showed just how toned the young girls arms actually were, as she stood in front of the stove waiting for the pancakes to cook, she didn't hear the soft footfalls of Mal and she didn't hear the small gasp when the older woman caught sight of her, she did notice however when hands landed on her hips and soft lips kissed along her neck, Emma hummed and turned slightly to see a mass of blonde hair and a wide smile, Emma knew that she was getting into dangerous water, it was her best friends Mom, someone who she looked up to, but she couldn't help the tidal wave of feelings that had taken over her, she leaned forward and connected their lips, the hum of approval that came from both of them, and as Emma wrapped her arms around Mal's neck to deepen the kiss, she hummed in approval, that she thought was quite, neither of them had realise another presence until a gasp had them pulling apart, a dumbstruck Lily stood at the kitchen door gaping at them, they both paled, and that was when they knew that whatever it was between them had to stop, after Lily had sat them down and had pointedly asked them what was going on, acting more like a parent than a friend and daughter, then they had realised that they weren't sure, and they had told Lily that, Lily looked from her best friend to her mom and back, Lily knew that Emma had a massive crush on her mom, but she was just a little bit freaked at them being in that kind of embrace so Lily had told them that if they wanted to be a thing, then she would support them, but it would be just a bit weird, she told them that it was weird, that however had given both of them a shake, they had decided then and there to stop whatever it was that was going on, a few stolen moments over the past three months wasn't something serious, and they both agreed that the relationship they had with Lily, as mother and best friend, was far more important than a school girl crush, yes Emma still had a massive crush on the woman, but she loved Lily and her friendship more than she fancied her mother, so that was the last time that they had ventured into that territory, the flirting however, did not stop.
"In fairness, you're place was always so much cooler than mine, I mean, you guys have the new Playstation" Emma said with a small chuckle,
"That we do" Mal said her own chuckle coming through the phone, "how you feeling kiddo?" Mal asked, she knew Emma, she had be curious about their 'fling' as Lily jokingly called it, and it was just that, a fling, yes she was far too old and they should have never crossed that line, but Emma always had a way of bending her will, even her own daughter hadn't mastered that yet, maybe it was her eyes, her piercing green eyes that could make even the coldest of hearts warmer, she smiled, Emma, she was probably just as much her best friend as she was her daughters and she loved her just as much, what they had, was something that would never happen again but something that she would not be ashamed of also.
"Shitting it" Emma said as she looked up at the tall red brick building that was Storybrooke High, the place already gave her the creeps and she hadn't even set foot inside the gates yet, "place looks worse than the mental on sixth avenue" Emma said, Mal snorted and laughed as Emma pulled the phone from her ear and glared at it,
"You'll be fine, just remember to hit them where it hurts if they try anything" Mal said seriously, Emma smiled widely,
"Right in the crown jewels" Mal and Emma said together, Emma laughed along with Mal,
"Go get them kid, oh and Lily wants to know if you're gonna be coming back to New York for the holidays?" Mal said, Emma's smile dropped, it was Christmas in a little over six weeks, the first one she would be spending without her parents, she wanted some form of normality, so she responded,
"Yeah, I...I'd like that" Emma said, Mal smiled, she knew that Emma would be finding it hard, especially being so far from the only place she called home,
"Perfect, knock em dead kiddo" Mal said, they said their goodbyes before Emma pocketed her iPhone and squared her shoulders, today was the first day, she didn't care about first impressions or anything else, she wanted to get in and get the day over with, she just wasn't ready for what was about to happen. As she made her way towards the entrance she felt eyes on her, lots of eyes for that matter, she figured they could smell new girl from a mile away, but when she lifted her head towards the car park her eyes landed on the sleek black Mercedes that was still carrying passengers, they all averted their gaze except for one, the driver, Emma started at her, and she was surprised that the other girl didn't even flinch, Emma smirked, dropped her head and walk into the building, it was gonna be a long day.
"Quit it dickhead" a tall redhead woman said as she threw a balled up piece of paper at the head of the man sitting across from her
"Language Zelena" an older woman said as she walked into the kitchen a vase of roses in her hands, she set them in front of Zelena and smacked her shoulder when she threw another ball of paper,
"Yeah Zelena, language" a mock voice said from across the table
"Stop teasing her Killian" the woman said as she looked at the dark haired man, his hair was unruly, and his beard, although impressive for an eighteen year old, was tight and trimmed, his black leather jacket squeaked as he dodged the hand coming at his head,
"But Ma" Killian said, Cora levelled her son with a single look and he snapped his mouth shut and glared at the redhead,
"Baby, you're not gonna win this" Zelena said smiling sweetly at the man, Killian eyed her before dropping his head, reaching into his pocket of his jacket and taking out a set of keys, Cora rolled her eyes as she watched the exchange, Killian held out his hand, but grabbed Zelena's as she reached for the keys, he pulled the woman off her seat and into his lap as he kissed her sweetly,
"Ew" another voice sounded from the doorway, all three heads turned to see and smiled as another family member walked in,
"You're just jealous sis" Zelena said as she positioned herself on Killian's knee and wrapped her arms around his neck, this time both Cora and the other woman rolled their eyes,
"Please, you two make me want to throw up in my mouth, and don't even get me started on Rubes and Lacey, I'm gonna have to start using my headphones again" the woman said her eyes lingering on the pair longer than necessary, everyone in the room chuckled causing the brunette to roll her eyes and make her way over to the island to pour some coffee,
"Regina" Cora said as she walked in behind her daughter, "I do hope you intend on attending classes this year" Cora said as she folded her arms across her chest, Regina sighed and turned to face her mother, coffee cup in hand,
"I don't see the point, we'll be moving again before we all even graduate" Regina said, Cora sighed,
"Honestly out of every one of my children, you were the one I thought would at least take her education seriously" Cora said, Regina smirked,
"Mother, considering that I'm way too old to even be in high school, I think my education is the least of your worries" Regina said as she walked past her mother, giving a high five to both Killian and Zelena as she passed them, "but I am taking Biology this year, you never know, I might actually get something out of that ridiculous class" Regina said before shouldering her black Gucci handbag and grabbing her keys, "I'm driving" Regina said turning towards the door, she stopped and looked back, "oh and make sure that the other three don't make us late" Regina said as she opened the glass door and making her way towards the black Mercedes parked a few feet away, her one pride and joy.
"New girl two o'clock" Killian said as Regina pulled into her usual space outside of Storybrooke High, she placed the car in park before looking to where Killian had said, her breath had caught in her throat as she caught sight of the most beautiful thing she had ever seen,
"Tasty" a second man had said, his hair was unruly like Killian;s but he was clean shaven, a grunt had told Regina that he just been elbowed in the gut, most likely by Zelena,
"You know what Daddy said, August, no humans" Zelena said, all eyes in the car where on the blonde who had yet to notice, but she did, she lifted her head towards the car, everyone averted their eyes, everyone except for Regina, she held the blonde's gaze and was more than surprised when a small smirk graced the blonde's pump lips, she had to shake herself to get herself together, she could not, no would not do this, she took a deep breath and exited the car along with the rest of the Mills, she took her bag from Zelena and sighed, she locked her car before following her siblings into the building, Regina Mills, was intoxicated, and she had only taken on glance at her, but she knew, that she would never look at anyone the same again as she did the blonde.
Let me know what ye guys think!
