Prologue

~March 19, 1986~

~Portland, Maine~

Walter stood the social worker as a three year old girl played little mind to the adults. Her attention only being drawn to the toys that where set out in front of her, but her ears trained at them listening silently.

"You just need to fill out some forms," The old lady with a softened face, told him solid like a stone, "but I have to tell you…you could have better chance with another child. This one hasn't talked since she came back from the second home." The woman shook her head, "I don't know what they did, but it must have been horrible enough to send her into a shell. She has no history which we can find, her parentage is a blank…and you came all this way for this one child…why?"

The scientist looked to the child at their feet. Bruises, stood out on creamy skin. The blue and sickly yellow showed themselves out of the young girl's sleeves. "I am telling you that this one will not be touched by me," His attention turned back to the woman next to him, his eyes calculating, "The why is none of your concern." He waved the woman away like she was just a Nat; crouching by the little girl, her curls bouncing as she played, "Well 'ello there, little one."

The little girls attention stood stalk still as her eyes wanders up to the man nervously sizing him up; his eyes turning with a calmly blue as he saw the damage done to the girl. But the little one did not even wince or whine about it. As the girl calculated him he found only what looked like she was ready to face her fate. After a while her eyes found what they were supposed to find, turned to her toys once again. This girl, Walter thought as his eyes watched her play without a word, is intriguing to say the least.

Walter stood up gracefully as he turned with determination, "Well I'll be seeing those papers."

The woman just looked shocked, handing them over without a judgment or care, "I don't know how you did it so quickly, but she's all yours to take." The woman only gave one more flicker of moment to the girl. The girl was no longer playing, her face come to resentment. The women added, "She's no longer our trouble anyhow." Her eyes trained on the girl, which the girl held the women's as well, her words coming through her sea green eyes.

Yes, Walter thought, a marvel indeed.

The scientist chuckled softly as the woman growled at the girl. The girl only shrug her small shoulders, a almost hidden smirk laid hidden in her face

"What's her name?" Walter asked, shocked that he hadn't thought this out more. Yet when he say the news about a girl in Maine with no parents to speak of, he jumped at the chance. I have to lay off the LSD, he grumbled inside his head.

The woman regained her composure, straightening out her clothes, "Her name?" Her trained of thought still on the brat of a child, "Emma, Emma Swan."
