I will be telling the story of Lena, a young girl who lost her family at the age of four. She has been living in the enchanted forest with her friend Elliot, who found her after the accident. Lena was brought to Storybrooke, along with many other characters, by the second curse.
How will Lena fit in with her new family in this new world and will she be able to fulfil her destiny?

The movie Pete's dragon was one of many inspiration when creating this story.

The whole story is spread over a couple of years. In the beginning Lena is 10 years old. At the end she is 17.
I won't follow the exact storyline as the show but there will be similar parts you may recognize.

The story starts after the midseason final of season 3. Emma has come back to Storybrooke with Henry.

Swan queen will be present

A couple of days after Emma's return to Storybrooke, she and David were driving towards the toll bridge when Emma suddenly pushed the break and brought her yellow bug to a stop.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop the car so hard?" David asked while Emma was already pushing the driver's door open.

"I just saw someone in the woods, over there" Emma said and pointed towards the trees on the right side of the road.

"Someone?"

"Yeah."

"Maybe a hiker?" David pointed out.

"In the trees?"

"What do you mean 'in the trees'?"

"There wasn't a person on the ground walking. There was someone hidden up there, in the trees" Emma replied and pointed back to the trees but this time higher up.
They both decided it was worth checking out so Emma parked her yellow bug next to the road and their search for the unknown person began.

After an hour walking they still hadn't found anything or anyone. Emma and David were about to give up and return to the car when David heard rustling leaves above his head. When he looked up a pair of hidden eyes were looking back at him.

"Emma" he called out: "Over here."

Emma turned around just to see a small person jumping from one tree to another.

"What the… Did you see that?" Emma said, following the person with her eyes.

"Yeah I did. Emma that didn't seemed to be an adult to me" David replied.

"No it didn't."

They started their chase after the child with their eyes constantly going up and down so they could follow the child without stumbling over anything on their path. Emma knew this part of the woods pretty good and knew the child soon needed to come out of the trees because a couple meters ahead the trees stood further apart from each other. The child wouldn't be able to cover those jumps anymore. Still that didn't kept the child from trying. Just like Emma had predicted the trees were too far apart. The child could barely grab a branch but couldn't hold on. It fell down, bumping against other branches and finally landing on the bed of moss underneath the tree. Emma and David quickly ran to the child lying unconscious on the ground.

"Be careful" David said when Emma crouched down next to the child.

"Look" Emma said, looking up at her father: "It's a young girl. She doesn't look older then, what,…10 years old?"

"We can't move her. I'll call an ambulance."

"Okay. I'll stay here with the girl. You can wait up the ambulance."

David nodded. He turned around and started his way back to the car while pulling his phone out of his jacket.

"Can someone explain to me what's going on here?" Regina asked while walking into the pediatric hospital wing: "What's this about a girl found in the woods?"

"That's it…We found a girl in the woods" Emma simply said.

"Oh. Than why all the commotion?"

"Because no one has any idea who she is and instead of running through the woods, she was jumping from tree to tree" David explained.

"Mmmh. She probably came to Storybrooke with the second curse" Regina stated.

"Yeah that's what we thought too."

Doctor Whale walked out of the room of the young girl.

"Doctor Whale, is she okay?" Emma asked worried.

"Yeah everything is fine. She has some bruises and cuts from falling down but nog major injuries" Dr. Whale answered.

"She fell? Regina asked shocked.

"Yeah, out of a tree" Emma replied.

"What?!"

"That doesn't matter now" Dr. Whale interrupted before the argument between the two women could escalate: "All that matters is that the girl is fine. She doesn't show any signs of dehydration or malnutrition."

"That's good" David stated.

"She's still asleep but when she wakes up you can take her with you."

"Where should we take her?" David asked the two women.

"I was thinking I could bring her to the polite station. Hopefully she can tell me who she is and where we can find her family" Emma said.

"That seems like a good idea" David agreed. He and Emma now looked at Regina to see what their mayor thought of the plan.

Regina just nodded, turned on her heels to walk away while saying: "Keep me posted" and then left.

A couple hours later Emma was sitting with the young girl at her desk. She was trying to find out some information about the girl but till now the girl didn't seemed to be willing to cooperate.

"Let's try again" Emma tried for the third time: "Can you tell me your name?"

The girl kept staring away from her.

Emma sighed. "I know you're knew here in Storybrooke so I understand this is all a bit scary. Especially when you're alone. I'm here to help."

David walked in and asked: "Any luck yet?"

Emma shook her head. David made a motion with his head for Emma to follow him. Emma stood up and followed David to the other room where the rest of the desks were lined up. They could talk in private that way but still keep an eye on the young girl through the glass wall.

"She won't say anything. She just keeps staring at the wall. The expression on her face doesn't even seem to change" Emma said, obviously tired.

"What should we do? It's getting late and we can't keep her here overnight" David replied. They heard the front door of the polite station open and a second later Regina rounded the corner.

"Miss Swan, I thought I asked you to keep me updated. I haven't heard from you since this morning when I saw you at the hospital" Regina said.

The young girl turned her head towards the mayor. Emma saw the expression of the young girl soften before her eyes. She looked sad now. Nobody seemed to notice accept Emma.

"Miss Swan?" Regina said again when the blonde didn't react.

"Yeah, umm. Well I don't have anything to update you with" Emma finally answered.

"Well that's disappointing" Regina replied.

Emma sighed annoyed and rolled her eyes: "Do you wanna try and get her to talk? Be my guest."

"Getting information out of a suspect is your job not mine."

"She's not a suspect. She's just a young girl who's scared…"

"And gone!" David finished. The women turned their heads to where the young girl had been sitting. Indeed the seat was now empty.

"How could you let this happen?! This is unbelievable" Regina said shocked.

This made Emma angry: "How is this my fault?! I'm not the only one here who didn't notice she was gone!"

"Again," Regina replied: "Your job, not mine. You better find her." With this Regina finished the conversation and left.

When the door closed behind Regina Emma let out an angry moan: "Can you believe her?"

"You know how Regina is" David tried to calm down his daughter: "Let's just start searching."

Let me know what you think.
