Chapter one:
Henry Mill's always sat on the one park bench over by the beach when he was sad. It was the spot his old castle use to be. He opened up his special book and skimmed through the pages. "Hey kid," said Emma Swan, town sheriff & Henry's biological mother. "What's going on in the book today?" she asked taking a seat next to him. "Nothing… But Emma, do you think something is going to change today?" he asked. Emma laughed, "Of course. Something is always changing everyday." Henry sighed and said, "No I mean CHANGE. Like how you've changed the town." Emma shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. Maybe." With that utter of maybe a woman walked up to them. She was wearing a black pantsuit with a dark vest and a heavy leather overcoat. "Excuse me, are you Emma Swan?" she asked. "Yes." A smile appeared on her face. "Ah just the woman I'm looking for," the woman said. "What can I do for you?" Emma asked eyeing up the newcomer. "I have an unannounced meeting with Mayor Mills." Henry quickly popped up and said, "Who are you?!" A bright smile appeared on the woman's face. " I'm Erika Collins, I'm the new Governor of Maine." Shock flooded Emma's face. "How's that possible? There wasn't an election here," said Emma. "I know. That's why I'm here. Something's going on in this town and I'm here to fix it."
Flashback
In the small village there lived a brother and sister. "Rumple! Rumple!" the young woman cried as she looked for her brother. He popped out behind her laughing brightly. "Oh Evie! That never gets old," he said laughing at her. A small flash of light and the man fell backwards. "Evangeline! You know you're not allowed to use your magic!" he yelled. "Well don't go around scaring me half to death, Rumpelstiltskin," she said to him. She helped him up and the two ran inside to help their mother. Suddenly there was a rap on their door and there was a young woman there. Rumpelstiltskin and Evangeline's neighbor Debora. She always seemed to want to control Rumpelstiltskin, and she could, with just a single look. "Rumple, it's time for our outing," she said moving her blonde hair behind her ear. Rumpelstiltskin was enamored with her and that infuriated Evangeline, because she knew what Debora was doing. She flew to the door between them and said, "Sorry, but he's having dinner with the family tonight." Rumpelstiltskin pushed his sister aside and said, "Come on Evie. It's not like this is our last dinner together with them!" But Evangeline knew better. She knew the feeling she was getting and what could and couldn't be controlled. "Please Rumple, just stay home tonight. I have a bad feeling about this…" He laughed and said, "You always have a bad feeling, when are they ever right." Her brown eyes darkened as she said, "Always."
