Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Once Upon A Time, just the twist of the plot I created and the girl…plus her father.
Once upon a time there was a blacksmith's daughter with beauty beyond comparison and a heart filled with more love than anyone has ever seen.
The daughter wasn't always treated the way she should be…no she was treated as though she was a slave in her own home.
Her father the only family she still had scorned her, yelled at her, and hated her.
Her father wasn't a good man no not at all…he made money in his shop by thieving and swindling.
Her father was a very dishonest man.
But low and behold there was one person who cherished the girl the way such beauty as her should be cherished.
But that young boy was just an apprentice if the girl's father ever found out the boy loved the girl he would be beaten more than he already is.
So the boy and the girl meet secretly after the girl's father has drunk himself into a sleep.
And every night as the boy and the girl meet they talk nonsense about running away from her father and the horrible town Camelot is.
They talk ridiculous things like stowing away to Nottingham or the Enchanted Forest things that could ever come true.
But it gives them both hope that maybe someday all this nightmare will be over and they will be happy for that is all they ever really wanted was to be happy and free together.
But alas that will never happen the boy will go back to being Malcom the blacksmith's apprentice and the girl will go back to being Elizabeth the blacksmith's daughter.
But at night they are someone else in some new place where they can be free and together.
But there was something they didn't know a time would come when they both could be free, though the together part that was something time didn't even would come to pass.
