A/N Hey guys! This is my first ever story so I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own any Once Upon A Time or any of it's characters.

"Daddy will you read me a bedtime story?" I asked as I picked up one of my storybooks.

"Of course kitty Kat." He smiled tiredly. "I just left something at the office that I need to go grab."

"Okay daddy, hurry!"

"I will Kitty Kat."

He came over and kissed my forehead and then walked out of my room. What I didn't know is that it would be the last time he ever walked out of my room.

I waited and waited for what seemed to be hours. He never came back.

I rang the doorbell of my "new home." It was an old Victorian house, but I could tell it was kept in good shape. I knew immediately this one wouldn't last long. After my father left I was sent to live with my mother parents. They were very kind to me. After a couple years of me living with them they passed away. After that I was sent to live with another of my mother's relatives, but they hated me because they blamed me for my mother's death. Her death wasn't my fault, she died giving birth to me, but they found that a good enough reason that I was responsible. I was also quite a very stubborn and difficult child, so I was sent to live with another relative once they got tired of me. And then another and another.

The door opened and I was greeted by an old man. "Welcome, you must be Kat! I'm your Uncle and I'm very glad to have you stay here. Come in come in!"

The man seemed nicer than most of my family that had taken me in over the years. I looked around the room and I immediately noticed that there were books everywhere. I picked one up from a small hallway table. "Goldilocks?" I read aloud.

He smiled, but when he smiled he got a crazy look in his eye, "Oh don't touch those. Not yet at least." He looked down at my small backpack, "Is that all you have?"

I sighed, "Yes, but you don't need to worry it has everything I need in it." It had been my backpack for as long as I could remember. It had pajamas, an extra change of clothes, and my fathers old funny looking top hat. He had two but when he left me he took only one, so I kept the other.

"Perfect! Here follow me and I'll show you your room."

My room wasn't exactly anything special. It had a small twin sized bed, a dresser, and a mirror on the wall. There weren't any windows so it did have a slight claustrophobic feeling. I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection. My curly blonde hair seemed so dull. I wish that I had my fathers brown hair. We didn't share much in resemblance so the only thing I really had was his old hat. I took my backpack off and unzipped it. The hat was at the very top so I took it out and tried it on.

"That hat is a very special hat." I turned around quickly and I saw my uncle standing in the doorway.

"No, it's just my fathers old hat." I said quickly and stuffed it into my backpack.

He smiled the same crazy smile from earlier, "Kat, you should know what is does better than anyone."

I looked down for a second and when I looked back up he was gone.I was about to close my door when I noticed a book on the ground. The book from earlier, Goldilocks. "No, he couldn't possibly know. Could he?" I paced around my room before I finally pulled out the hat and set it on the ground "I guess it's time to find out what really happened." The hat started to melt into the ground and the floor was swirling purple and I jumped in making the same mistake I made when I was only six years old.

"I have to leave for a few hours, okay Kitty Kat?"

"Okay daddy." I ran up and gave him a big hug.

He put on his old tattered top hat, "Remember not to touch my other hat."

I nodded. My father had his two hats ever since I could remember and I was never allowed to touch them. I went into his room and stared at his second hat. He kept it in a glass case on top of his dresser. "It looks normal to me." I said. I decided to climb up onto the dresser and I opened the glass case. I reached my hand out to touch it. At first I only poked it and nothing happened, so I picked it up. It almost felt like it vibrating so I dropped it onto the ground and a purple like portal opened on the ground. I started backing away slowly frightened. The portal seemed to be calling me into it, so I stopped backing away and I walked towards it. Then I did the stupidest thing I could do. I jumped in.

I fell into a dark forest. A few yards away I saw a cottage.

A/N I hope you enjoyed reading the first chapter! Sorry for any grammatical mistakes. I tired to read through it a few times to make sure there weren't any but I'm not the best at grammar.
