So this is my very first OUAT story and it's been a few years since I last uploaded a story. I just really hope someone will enjoy it. There are a few chapters that are already done, but I would like to see how this first chapter goes. Please leave me a review I'd really appreciate it.
I do not own the characters of OUAT, but I do have my own characters that will make their appearance eventually as long as this story is of entertainment to those reading.
Mahalo nui!
"I love you, I'll always love you…" the young brunette looks deep into dark brown eyes, "I'm very much in love with you," she bites her lip painfully forcing herself not to cry, "but I can't stay here knowing you don't feel the same way," not able to hold back any longer, her tears slowly makes their way down her cheeks as she stares into the eyes of the woman who stole her heart and shattered it into pieces.
"I don't blame you," the older woman speaks softly, looking back into gleaming eyes, "I'm crazy."
"That's what made me fall in love with you. It's who you are," the younger of the two sighs, brushing her bangs back. She looks up at her former lover with a sad smile, "thank you," she whispers, "thank you for everything you've done for me."
"Tasia, please stop," referring to the tears uncontrollably falling at this point, the older woman couldn't stand to watch her younger ex-lover fall apart, especially knowing she's the cause for it.
"Well I'm sorry, but I can't. You very much know I can't control my emotions very well."
"Yes, I do."
Wiping away her tears she stands up from her seat and looks towards the shelves that holds her belongs, "with that being said, I'm here to grab my things and I'm gonna go.."
"Do you need help?" the older brunette stands up from her spot, looking into the young woman's eyes as she continues to watch her walls build and take in the most fakest smile on the girls face.
"No. I got this."
She packs the last of her belongings into the backseat of her Dodge Dakota when a yellow bug car pulled up into the drive way of her ex's house, blocking the only way to leave. Tasia looks on annoyed as a tall blonde woman wearing a red leather jacket comes out from the driver's side along with a short haired brunette with a black blazer and slacks coming out from the passenger.
Stephanie walks out from her house onto the drive way with a bottle of beer already in her hand, being that she literally just woke up and walked up to the two women, "hi, can I help you fine ladies?" Tasia rolls her eyes and shakes her head, knowing very well that she shouldn't be surprised at her former lover's flirtatiousness.
The blonde woman walks over to Stephanie holding out her hand to shake, "Hi, I'm Emma and that is my partner Regina." The shorter woman nods in acknowledgement then looks over at the younger brunette leaning against her truck with arms folded across her chest.
Regina feels her fingers tingle with magic as she continues to stare at the red rimmed brown eyes and tear tracked face, Regina knew she was looking into the eyes of a broken heart, boy, did she know that look all too well.
Tasia looks back at the shorter, yet slightly taller than her woman as she feels her own fingers start to tingle. She unfolds her arms and shake her hand her get rid of the feeling at her tips, thinking it's just her nerves acting up.
Stephanie looks towards her ex worriedly then back at the two woman, "what can I do for you?" she says.
"Well you see," Emma starts off awkwardly, "we're looking for someone. We were told this was the address."
Impatiently, Tasia clenches her hand into a fist, feeling the tingling sensation run across her body, making it shake violently as Regina stares intensely then looks towards her blonde companion, "I believe she's standing right there," finally speaking up for the first time since the two got there.
Emma only now noticing the younger woman standing only five feet away from her, "oh! Well great! What's your name?" she says, walking towards the youngest of the four standing in the middle of the driveway.
Tasia's eyes widen as she sees the tall blonde approach her. She takes a step back and lets her fist unclench, her fingertips creating a spark.
Stephanie sprints to her former lover and stands in front of her protectively, "I think you got the wrong person. You two need to leave and find who you're really looking for elsewhere."
Emma raises her arms up in defense, "hey we're not looking for trouble."
Regina looks over at the youngest brunette and asks gently, "what's your name dear?"
The younger woman looks back at Regina, "Tasia…" she answers cautiously.
"How old are you?" Regina asks again walking over to her blonde partner.
"23…"
"She's so young," the short haired woman says, looking up at Emma as she links their arms together.
"Five years younger than I was," Emma replies.
"Don't judge! What do you want?" Stephanie cuts in still standing firmly in front of her ex.
Regina shakes her head not understanding what this woman is saying, but explains, "she needs to come with us, she's not safe here."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Tasia says confused.
"It's not something we can really explain here," Emma replies, looking to the young brunette then to the older protective looking one, "not with her around anyway."
"We don't have enough time to stand here and chit chat, we're wasting time," Regina impatiently sighs and looks to Tasia, "come with us and we will tell you all that there is to know, but you have to trust us when we say it's for your own safety."
"You're not taking her anywhere!" the oldest of all four women speaks up stepping closer to her former lover.
The youngest woman moves from behind the woman blocking her way and steps forward, "where are we going?"
"Tasia! Are you fucking serious right now?! You don't even know them."
Tasia looks back and glares, "I didn't know you either and I took your ass home the very same night we met."
"Storybrooke," Emma interrupts what looks like to be an upcoming argument, "it's in Maine."
"Okay."
Emma looks at the younger woman in shock at how easy it was to convince this girl.
"Tasia don't do this…" Stephanie takes her former lovers hand, making her look back.
"I can't stay here, it's too painful Steph, I need to let you go, so please, let me go." Tasia pulls her hand out from the older woman's grasp and walks back to her truck.
"I'll be right behind you," Regina says to her blonde partner as she places a soft kiss to her cheek then walks over to the silver Dodge, "I'll ride with you if you don't mind."
"I'll meet you both there," Emma says as she gets into her yellow bug and drives off.
"Tasia please…" Stephanie finally lets her own tears fall as she realizes what she's done to the wonderful woman she loved.
"Steph, I love you, but I can't be around you. I can't even be on this same rock knowing there will always be a time that we'll bump into each other, then there's the possibly of seeing you happy with someone else. This town is too small for us, I'm doing this for myself."
"What about Kiani? She's coming back from O`ahu tomorrow."
"She will always have a place in my heart, she has my number and if she needs me I know she will call. That's if we can still hold the bond we have," Tasia feels her heart breaking even more afraid ties will be cut between her and her ex's daughter.
"Of course…"
Regina cuts into the conversation impatiently, "if you truly care for her, you'll let her go. The longer she stays here, the more danger she's in."
Stephanie glares at the short haired brunette, "how can I trust that!? You two just rolled on up on my driveway and say you need to take my ex-girlfriend where!? Maine!"
"Ex-girlfriend," Regina emphasizes "which means she was already leaving and it is no longer of your concern. From what I understand, you gave up the right to have say what-so-ever. But I will assure you that she is safer where we are going."
Tasia climbs into her truck no longer looking back to the woman who used to always make her feel safe and loved. Regina climbs into the passenger side and watches this woman next to her build her walls higher.
Tasia takes a deep breath then looks to Regina, "where to?"
"Just drive dear."
The younger woman nods, turning her truck on and puts in drive, pulling out of the driveway she used to call home without looking back.
As Tasia drives around the corner of the street, purple smoke surrounds the entire vehicle, "What's happening!?" the younger woman exclaims in panic.
"Calm down dear," Regina says coolly.
Just as the smoke clears up Tasia comes across a sign that reads, "Welcome to Storybrooke."
