A/N Hello everyone, I had an idea about five days ago and I've actually wrote most of it out, so here's the first chapter hope you like it.


Regina was one of a few elder guardian's from a realm, of winged human like beings.

She taught and guided many young guardians and It was an honor, to be given the role of a guardian.

Regina also had a sister, who was also an elder guardian, a right earned from their deceased parents. who were among the highest bestowed guardians of her world.

However one afternoon, Regina was venturing down a mysterious cavern with two others, when she was pulled through a blinding light and ended up here. in a town called Storybrooke.

She hid in the shadows, for two days, wearing nothing more than a long white dress and brown open sandals.

She was sacred, anxious and getting hungry and after the second day of hiding herself out of sight and watching people go by, she had no choice but to venture out in to the daylight and hoped no one would see her wings.


It was around midday when she began to walk down Maine street, taking in everything she could and wondering what kind of place this was and to her surprise no one paid her much attention and she sighed in relief, that no one could see her wings.

She found herself hugging her arms around herself and wanted nothing more than to be home and to see her sister, but didn't know how to get back.

Moments later, she noticed a pixie haired woman walking towards her with a look of concern on her face. the woman stopped in front of her.

"Hello, are you okay? I couldn't help but notice you look a little lost and your clothes are very stained"

"Um, I am okay" Regina mumbled.

The woman frowned and took pity on her.

"My name is Mary Margaret, I live in this town, may I ask what your name is?"

"Re-gina"

"That's a lovely name, do you have someone I can phone for you?"

Regina had no idea, what the woman was talking about and said "No"

"Do you have a place to stay?"

Regina shook her head.

Mary Margaret frowned.

"Let me take you to the Diner and you can have a nice hot drink to warm you up" she then gestured for then to walk and Regina felt that she couldn't refuse and nodded.


An hour later, Mary Margaret had brought Regina a drink and lunch, which Regina was very grateful for.

She watched as Mary Margaret talked to a blonde man, they were in deep conversation and Regina knew, it must be to do with her and she started to feel uncomfortable and decided to leave.

"Thank you for everything, but, I am going to go now"

"But you said you have nowhere to stay?" Mary Margaret said softly.

"That is true" she replied sadly.

"Stay with us tonight" and this caused David looked at his wife, with concern.

"I can't do that, you have been so kind to me already" Regina protested.

"I insist"

And Half an hour later, Regina was sat in Mary Margaret's lounge, looking around at everything with wonder.

what is that, what is this she thought to herself, as she found herself closely inspecting the remote control to the TV.

David watched her curiously.

"Its like she's never seen a remote control before?" he whispered in the kitchen, to his wife.

"Maybe she hasn't"

Regina then touched the buttons and the TV turned on and made her jump. She then stared at the people on the TV, in awe.

"How does this work, those people are not in this room" she asked, not thinking.

"Have you not seen a TV before, Regina?" Mary Margaret asked, coming to sit next to her.

Regina curled her wings around her for comfort.

"Um, no, I have lived a sheltered life" she replied quickly.

"Oh, may I ask how old you are?"

Regina pondered for a moment, she couldn't say she was a hundred and eight in her years, could she?" and sure she didn't look a hundred and eight, but that was because once her people reached the age of 21 in their years, they would stop ageing externally.

"Why? How old are you?" she replied, stalling for time and an answer that would aid her response.

Mary Margaret smirked.

"I am 39"

"Oh..I...I am 27"

Mary Margaret raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, um, I hope you won't be offended, but how would you like a clean pair of clothes to wear and would you like to bath or shower?"

Regina's eyes lit up and she nodded.

Mary Margaret then showed her to the bathroom.

"I shall go get you some trousers and a top, your around my daughters size" she smiled and left, leaving Regina staring around the bathroom, rubbing her arm, anxiously.


Three minutes later, the pixie woman returned with a pair of jeans and a jumper.

"Take your time" she said and closed the door, leaving Regina feeling like she did truly mattered and it gave her hope.

Five minutes later, 21 year old Emma walked through the door, huffing.

"Honey" Mary Margaret called out to her.

"What have I done now?" she snapped, pulling her long blonde hair back.

"Nothing, we need to discuss something with you"

"Oh?" she stood in front of them. Arms crossed.

"I met a young woman today, I think she's homeless and I took pity on her" she stared at Emma who just nodded with curiosity.

"I brought her back here and I have let her use one of your jeans and a jumpers because her dress was stained"

"You what?" Emma replied.

"She's in the bathroom" her mother replied.

"You let a stranger wear my clothes?" she snapped.

"Honey if you just saw her" she frowned.

Emma then sighed, knowing she shouldn't moan, not if this woman was truly homeless and had nothing.

"I'm grabbing my stuff and staying over at my friends" she then declared and walked off and ten minutes later, she was out the door and shouted

"See you both tomorrow"


It wasn't until another twenty minutes later, that Regina reappeared.

"I washed my head, I hope you don't mind"

"No, of course not, I will get you a hairdryer to dry it" she rushed off and got her hairdryer from her bedroom and gave it to Regina, who just stared at it.

David chuckled.

"Oh, have you not used one before?" she stared in disbelief.

Regina shook her head.

Mary Margaret then plugged the hairdryer into the socket and told Regina to press the button and to hold it above her hair and 20 minutes later, Regina was amazed how her hair was already dry and was now brushing it, with a brush David had handed her.

"Its like she's a child" David said in wonder, as he watched Regina brushing her hair happily.

Regina then wondered into the kitchen, a few minutes after.

I wonder what this is (the fridge) she then opened the freezer and felt the cold on her legs and she shut it immediately. she then stared at the boiling kettle and watched Mary Margaret make tea.

"Is your daughter going to be here soon?" Regina asked anxiously, she wasnt sure, if she was ready to meet anyone else yet.

"No, she's staying at a friends tonight"

"And how old is she?" Regina asked.

"Emma is 21" she smiled and picked up her mug of tea.

Regina then nodded, thinking that Emma was a nice name and for the rest of that evening, she learned that Mary Margaret was a teacher and David was a local sheriff and they had lived in Storybook for many years.

And before she knew it, the evening was over and she knew, that once the morning came she'd be back to being on her own and that thought alone filled her with dread.


Thanks for reading.
