New Kid in Storybrooke

XXXXFLASHBACKXXXX
Melody sat under the cherry blossom tree, where she, Henry, and Rosalyn (before her mom told her not to hang out with her anymore) hung out, as tears fell down her face. It had been 2 years since the death of her best friend and his girlfriend. But the only difference now is that the village had been rebuilt, with the help of new villagers that roamed around, willing to help others in distress.
She let the tears just flow as she thought back to when she first met Henry, and then Rosalyn. It was sad really. Now she was down 2 friends, and the only other friends she had was a penguin, a walruce, and a merman. She wasn't exactly a normal princess, if you asked anyone there.
"Oh, Rosie...Henry...how I miss you both." She said before she hugged her knees closer to her chest and began crying into them.
"Ma'am, is everything alright?" A voice spoke, making Melody look up with her tear stained eyes...as they widened at the sight of someone she hadn't seen in ages.
XXXXPRESENT DAYXXXX
Rosalyn Gulag woke up to the sun shinning through the window that was behind her, making her smile. She sat up, got out of bed, and quickly got dressed in her black mini-skirt, that stopped just above the knees (maybe a little less), and a black shirt with a red shirt to go over it. She put on her black tights and red leather high-heeled boots, and then, her jewelery: a black chocker and two bronze chains (one shorter than the other). She then put on two bronze diamond shaped ear-rings into her ear, and a bronze bracelet on her left wrist. Oh, and don't forget the promise ring her boyfriend gave her. She placed that on her ring finger, that was on her left hand.
Once she was done, she heard someone coming upstairs, which made her look over, only to smile when she saw who she was hoping it was.
"Finally, you woke up. I thought you were going to sleep all day." Henry said with a smile as he walked closer to her.
"Well, technically I should be considering I am a vampire." Rosalyn retorted with a smile as well.
"But you're not fully one." Henry countered as he pulled her close to him, making it so that Rosalyn put her arms around his neck.
"No...not since you happened." Rosalyn said, still smiling before they shared a kiss.
It had been 2 years since everyone found out that Henry really was someone in the Enchanted Forest, and since Henry and Rosalyn became a couple. It had been peaceful since then, and everything was fine...well, how fine could something be when you lived in Storybrooke?
"Henry!?" Emma's voice called from downstairs, making Rosalyn and Henry pull away and walk downstairs together...after Rosalyn grabbed her purse.
When Emma saw Rosalyn, she kind of freaked almost. But at the same time, she was glad to see the young vampire. She had grown to love her like a daughter. Well, considering she didn't have much of a family anymore. So, the Charmings took her in basically. She lived on her own now, but she was always over at their place, so it's like she lived with them anyway.
"Hey mom." Henry said.
"Hey." Emma said. "And hey to you too, Rosalyn."
"Same to you, Emma." Rosalyn said before she whispered something in Henry's ear and walked off.
"Where is she going?"
"To the bathroom. She just woke up." Henry answered as he sat down with a bowl and began to pour cereal into it.
Emma nodded before sitting down with Henry and just looked at him. This made Henry a little uneasy. What was his mom about to ask?
"What?"
"Why was she here throughout the night?"
"Mom...!"
"Henry, I'm serious! You're too young!"
"She was just going to stay the night since her place is far away and it was getting late! And somehow, one thing lead to another and..."
"Wow, kiddo." Emma looked up and saw Rosalyn walking back towards them, with a smile on her face. She always had a smile now-a-days. Ever since she started dating Henry, she's always been happy.
"What were you guys talking about?" Rosalyn asked as she sat down next to Henry.
"Nothing!" Henry and Emma said at the same time.
XXXXXXXXXX
Melody was sitting on a bench by herself outside Granny's, smiling away. Everything to her has went back to normal in those 2 years that had been crazy. She never thought she could be more happy than she already was. But still, she sort of envied Henry and Rosalyn's relationship. She made a wish on her 15th birthday back in the Enchanted Forest to meet a nice prince, and be like her two best friends. But it had never come true...yet.
Melody looked up at the sky, and thought back to when she was living in the castle on land, and visiting her grandfather since she could with her necklace that Rosalyn gave her. Those were the memories she would never forget.
After a while, she heard boxes being moved, making her look over and see the apartment building straight ahead, with a moving van in front. That was when she noticed a pale skinned boy (not extremely pale) with brown hair and ocean green eyes.
He was wearing a black t-shirt that looked like what her father would wear, blue jeans, and black sneakers. He had one tattoo that she noticed when his sleeve rolled up a little bit. She couldn't tell what it was, but if she had to guess, it was probably a seashell. To be more specific, it looked like Melody's necklaces. It was that design of a seashell, is what she thought it could have been.
Nice tattoo! She thought before she stood up and walked up to him from behind. "Hi!" Melody said, as the young boy of 18 looked away from his box and right at her.
And the moment he saw her, was when his heart skipped a beat. Her eyes, a beautiful ocean blue, and her hair as black as night. She was beautiful in his eyes.
"Hi." He said as he slowly stood up straight to greet her more properly.
"I'm Melody. Who are you?"
"Kai, Kai Newborn." He answered as they shook hands.
"You the new kid in Storybrooke, aren't you?" Melody asked.
"Yeah, that's me." Kai answered.
"Well then, welcome to Storybrooke!"
"Thanks."
"Melody!" A voice spoke up from behind Melody, making her and Kai look over to see Rosalyn and Henry walking towards them.
"Rosie!" Melody yelled back to her best friend as Rosalyn hugged her with such force that she almost fell over.
"Kai?" Henry's voice spoke up, sounding really shocked.
"Henry?" Kai stated back, sounding as shocked as Henry.
"What are you doing here?!" Both boys asked at the same time.
"Henry, babe, you know this boy?" Rosalyn asked.
"Yeah..." Henry began.
"I-I wasn't expecting this surprise." Kai said.
"Same here." Henry said as he placed an arm around Rosalyn. "Kai, this is my girlfriend, Rosalyn Gulag."
"Gulag? I heard that name before in a legend." Kai stated as he shook hands with Rosalyn.
"Nice to meet you." Rosalyn said, with an opened mouth grin. Melody saw the slight glint of her friend's fangs and nudged her elbow, making Rosalyn realize what was going on and closed her mouth. "Hey, I'm about to perform over there at Granny's. Why don't you come?"
"You know, after the unpacking I have done so far, it would be nice to relax for a little bit." Kai replied before walking towards the restaurant across the street with his new friends.
