Hey guys. So I loved all of the suggestions I got and I believe that this redo will make the story a lot better and make a lot more sense. I edited it for two days and even got my best friend to look it over and approve. Sorry for before for not writing as much but I hope this time around my muse will be back and I will keep writing. Keep commenting suggestions or message me. I'm all up for new ideas. So here's the redo, enjoy.

17 and a half years ago

"What do you mean, "we have to leave"?" She asked, holding her tiny newborn in her arms

"You must leave. If she finds out about your child, she will do everything in her power to get rid of her."

"But why?"

"Because, there is a prophecy that tells of her downfall and the cause of it is that child in your arms at this very moment. You need to get the child to safety, get the child to safety and when it is time for you to come back, i will let you know."

She looked over to her husband, who nodded and then to her beautiful baby before she looked back to the man with a determined look.

"If it is what we must do to protect her, then we'll do it. But how will you know how to find us?"

He sighed in relief and gave her a smile, "you leave that up to me."

He walked over to his friends who he considered his family and hugged them both before leaning down and kissing his God daughter on the head, "Good luck and good-bye for now, my sweet Emma."

Present day

Darkness

It surrounded me as if it was an animal stalking its prey

I couldn't see anything but all my senses were turned up

I could hear small movement

Of what? I don't know.

I could smell vanilla and apples.

Why? I have no idea.

Then I heard her.

"Emma!"

I started running towards the scream. I didn't know where I was going but I knew I needed to get to her, i felt that if I didn't, I would lose her forever.

"Help me!"

I just kept running, feeling the wind in my face. I felt my lungs start to burn, but I didn't care.

I started panicking, I couldn't find her but I couldn't live without her.

I need her.

"Emma!"

I sat straight up in my bed, my heart beating outside my chest and my body covered in sweat."

Emma! Honey wake up we gotta get on the road!" I heard my mother screaming from the other room.

I looked over to my clock and saw the flashing lights, 5 am.

I groaned and fell back on my pillow.

This is the 15th time we've moved. The longest place we ever stayed was when I was 13 and we lived in Tallahassee. Even then it was only two years. Any other place we've stayed at has only been for a year. No place to ever call home. Not enough time to make friends. But hey, when I got bullied I only had to endure it until we were gone again.

Only sad part is that I'm almost eighteen and haven't even had my first kiss yet. Matter of fact I never even got close to enough to anyone to even have a girlfriend. Oh yeah right, that's part of the reason I get bullied, I'm gay. The other part of the reason, I'm a girl with a dick. Not a lot of people accept that, an intersexual girl. It's the main reason I keep to myself, if no one knows about it then I don't get noticed. The more I stay invisible, the better.

But this time is different. We've only been here for eight months. I came back to the apartment we were staying at yesterday and I saw a letter on the table and heard my dad telling me to pack up. I didn't care thinking about it at the time, I was used to it. We've been moving around since the day I was born, from what my mom tells me. All these years and I still don't know why we do it. I quit asking where we were going when I was 10 and quit asking if we were ever going to stay in one place long enough to call it home when I was 12. All I knew was that we were going on another adventure, as my father used to tell me. And given our nomadic lifestyle, it was easy to pack up and leave. Between the three of us, we had three boxes and my backpack, we just stuff that in the car and go.

I finally got out of bed and threw on a pair of jeans and my shoes, I already had my hoodie on. I grabbed my backpack, stuffed my alarm clock in it and left the room. No reason to look back at it and say goodbye, no memories to say goodbye to.

"You ready to go babygirl?" My father smiled at me

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled back, "off to the next adventure right?"

He patted my shoulder and opened the door "right"

He closed the door behind us and we all piled into the car and started driving down the road, leaving Boston behind us.

As we got on the interstate I plugged my headphones in my ears and looked to the front seat to see my parents smile at each other as they held hands, my father bringing my mother's hand up to his lips. I smiled and saw him smile back at me through the rearview mirror before turning back to the road.

I looked out the window to see the sun rising and listened to "chasing cars", by Snow Patrol as the city faded away and turned into highway. Soon enough the music faded into the background as I was lulled to sleep.

"Emma!"

I jolted awake and tried to catch my breath. I looked out my car window to see nothing but forest. 'what the fuck is up with that dream'

I lay my head back and close my eyes, trying to calm my racing heart.

"Emma are you okay?" My mom asked.

"Yeah" I shook my head "just a weird dream, it's all good"

She smiled, "okay, well look out your window."

I raised an eyebrow and did as she said before looking back at her, "all I see is trees"

My dad laughed, "she's talking about the sign about to come up. We're here."

I looked back out the window and saw the sign pass by

"Welcome to Storybrooke."

"What's Storybrooke?" I asked

My dad looked at me through the rearview mirror and smiled, "our next adventure."

I smiled back and shrugged my shoulders, putting my headphones back in and looked back out the window to watch the trees pass by.

Though I turned away too soon, because I missed the troubled looks my parents shared along with my father mouthing 'it will be okay' to my mother and kissing her hand to reassure her.
