Hi! This is my first story about Once upon a time so I hope that you all like it. It is set in the third season so sorry for any kind of spoiler.

And here it is ;D


"What the hell is that noise?" thought Gwen as she slowly opened her eyes and frowned at the white ceiling above her head.

The sound was piercing enough to make her think her ears would start bleeding. She covered them with her hands hoping to muffle the sound. Dizzy and confused, she let her eyes wander around the room. White floor, white walls, white ceiling, everything was painted with an annoyingly white color that made the room feel cold and heartless.

She noticed her breathing rising up quickly as well as her heartbeats. She didn't know why but, the more she saw the more anxious she felt. It was as if she was somehow prisoner with the white room as her cell.

"I can't, I can't take it, make it stop!" she cried when the sound grew louder. She stood on her feet, not steady at all and tried to reach the outside. However, she couldn't take more than two steps before she lost her balance and went to the floor.

Surprisingly, once her body landed on the cold floor the sound halted. Just like that. But she didn't even had the time to feel relieved because several people came in rushing. Gwen tried to focus her eyes on those strangers, uncertain of who they might be when she felt herself being lifted from the ground by a pair of strong, warm hands that steadied her.

Still feeling a bit hazy she heard their voices but didn't really understand what they were actually saying. She didn't know what was wrong with her.

"Miss, are you all right?" said the one that was keeping her from falling again. She took in a deep breath before nodding.

"What was she doing on the floor?" whispered a woman's voice from in front of her.

"Don't ask me, love" replied another voice. A voice that she thought she had forgotten long ago. A voice that drew out all the anger she had gathered during many years.

"You!" she roared before rushing towards him with her hands ready to twist his neck. That took everyone off guard so they couldn't stop her before she got hold of him.

However, she was pulled away before she could make any harm.

"Get off of me!" cried her to whoever was holding her. They both struggled a while until she felt a jab in her arm which caused everything to go blurred.


"What the hell was all that about?" said Emma still trying to catch her breath after her little struggle.

"As I said, don't ask me" said Hook rubbing his throat. The girl was stronger than she looked.

"Well, clearly she knows you" said Emma before adding mockingly "Which would explain why she tried to kill you"

"Ha ha, very funny Swan"

"If what you said is true-"

"Which it is" said Hook annoyed and causing Emma to roll her eyes.

"-then we need to ask her what happened to her, I mean she was found in the middle of the woods. Naked" finished her, unable to find an explanation.

"I don't want to interrupt but I think we have bigger issues" said Dr. Whale that had remained quite till now.

"Like what?" asked Emma confused.

"Well, aside from the fact that she awoke with still enough sedatives in her system to knock out a strong adult, she had claws" he said pointing at Hook's neck where the smallest scratches had started to bleed.

"Claws? As in cat's claws?" said Emma both skeptical and surprised.

"I believe so, and fangs. Didn't you see them?" asked him to the pirate.

"Sorry mate, I was too busy with her strangling me" replied Hook with sarcasm dripping off of his voice.

"So, what? You're telling that she's some kind of super Hello Kitty?" said Emma.

"Maybe more like a were kitty. I think she might have some similarities with Ruby's thing" said Whale amused with the picture he had made in his head.

"Okay so, how much time do we have before she wakes up?" asked Emma.

"No clue. Could be hours, minutes... she sure has enough sedatives to put an elephant to sleep but..." replied Whale shrugging.

"In that case, I guess it'd be smart to call for some back ups" and so, Emma picked her phone and hoped for them to arrive soon. She didn't want to face the girl alone again, even though she was handcuffed to the bed.


She didn't know how long she had been out but when she opened her eyes, she sensed many eyes staring at her. She raised on the bed ready to jump out of it but something was holding her. She looked down and saw her hands tied up to the bed by some strange metal ring strong enough to resist her pulling.

"What's this? Why can't I break them?" asked Gwen angrily to no one in particular.

"That must have been me I'm afraid" said a woman with black hair "I enchanted them"

Gwen sighed and let her head fall against the pillow, suddenly feeling quite exhausted. She looked at the people around her one by one.

There was the black haired woman, who was eying her with a calculating look that made her go stiff. Then, there was a blond woman that seemed more than ready to jump on her. Beside her, there was a couple, a blond man and a pregnant woman with really short hair. And then, half hidden in a corner was the man that cost her half of her life.

He looked just like the first day that she saw him, many years ago. Inside her, she felt an uprising rage that heated her entire body. She really had accumulated a great deal of bloodlust against him.

"You" she hissed with a growl in the bottom of her throat.

"Aye love, it's me" replied him with a mocking bow and a raised eyebrow "And now that we've left it clear that you know me, how about you tell us who are you?" that made her frown, confused and irritated.

"You don't remember me...at all?" she asked hesitating.

"I doubt I would ever forget someone like you" he said with a tone that she knew far too well. He was trying to charm her, the bastard. Gwen stared at him, weighting the pros and cons of telling him the truth.

"Fine, I'll tell you who I am but first, free me" she said showing her wrists.

"Not gonna happen" said the dark haired woman with a superior look that annoyed her a lot.

"Then I guess that we're done here" she said with a challenging smile that left the woman with her mouth opened outraged. The pregnant woman chuckled discretely before approaching her.

"Look..." she started waiting for her name.

"Gwen"

"Gwen, we just want to make sure that you're okay and that you aren't a threat to this town" she said giving her a warm smile. Like a mother's, that made her relax a bit in her bed.

"I'm-, I was a musician" she made a long pause before continuing "A musician of Bremen"

"Wait, you mean Bremen? As in The town musician of Bremen?" asked the blond woman. She just nodded but didn't say a word.

"But, the band was formed by a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster. There wasn't any human" said one of them.

"I never said I was human" replied Gwen with a wry smile. Her head filling with unwanted memories.

"Then what are you?"

"Just an unlucky girl who annoyed the wrong person" mumbled her with a dry laugh. When none of them seemed to follow her, she sighed and added "I was a small girl when I bumped into a girl from my village not much older than me. I tried to apologize but she started to yell at me and said that I was an animal and the next thing I remember is actually being one" she shrugged and tried to swallow the knot that had formed in her throat. Just like every other time that she thinks of that. Next to her, the pregnant woman gasped with a worried look on her face.

"But, who was that girl? And what did you do afterwards?"

"Well I didn't really know her, but I think that her name was Cora or something like that" everyone in the room stared at each other, sharing the same thought, which made her realize that they were aware of who she was talking about. However, she decided to let that go, for now. "And well after that, I tried to speak to my parents and well, you can imagine how that ended up. So I run away before my entire village could kill me, and hid in the woods for a while till I found out that I was able to actually talk to the other animals"

"For real?" asked the blond woman quite amused.

"Yeah, so I found this abandoned farm where I spent a couple of days until some animals came in and well, we started to talk and I'm not sure how but we ended up playing instruments"

"But, you said that you weren't any of the animals that the tale talks about" pointed out the dark haired woman.

"And I wasn't. I was kicked out of the band before their first show"

"Why?" asked the man.

"Well it might have something to do with the fact that I nearly ate one of them" she said smiling a bit at that particular memory. When they remained quite and just stared at her stunned, she looked her hands feeling embarrassed "What? I was hungry and I couldn't control my instincts"

In the corner, Hook laughed out loud getting everyone's attention.

"Oh you sure are a box full of surprises, love" he pretended to shed one tear with his hook and grinned at her the way he used to a long time ago.

"Ignore him" said the pregnant woman "I was wondering, which animal were you?"

"A tiger"

"So it was wild Kitty then" said the blond woman. Gwen looked at her confused "It's just a...nevermind"

"Okay, so, I did my part of the deal. Release me" Gwen said more relaxed.

"Deal? What deal? I don't remember agreeing in such thing" said the dark haired woman that was starting to annoy her more than she should.

"Look woman-"

"It's Regina you beast" she cut her in "Show some respect for your queen"

"Queen? As in the Evil Queen?" she asked trying to clear her mind.

"In flesh and bones" the so called queen, bowed with a smirk in her face.

"If you're the Queen, they must be...?"

"Simple peasants" replied Regina quickly in a mocking tone.

"I'm Snow White and these are my husband, David and my daughter Emma" said the pregnant woman.

"But didn't you-?" she started utterly confused.

"It's a complicated and long story. Let's just say that we're all in the same team now" she explained with a smile.

"All right. So about my freedom, why aren't you letting me go?" she asked directly to Snow.

"Well you said you weren't able to control your instincts, so I think it might be a good idea to wait for a while until we figure out something" she answered in an apologetic tone.

"And you're just going to leave me chained here till you please? I am no threat" she complained.

"I can't agree with you love. My throat says otherwise."

"Oh please, it was just a scratch. Don't be a wimp" she said not even bothering to look at him. The rest of the people tried to suffocate their laughs. Not very good.

"Either way, you staying here will be for the best. Plus, you still need to tell us how do you know Hook and why do you want to kill him" said Emma before she left the room. The others said goodbye and left as well, leaving her alone in that white room.

She really loathed white.


Okay so this was the end of it! I hope that you liked it and please leave some comments to let me know if it is worth continuing or not. And if you found any mistake tell me so that I can fix it.
