Author's Note: Part of this chapter is form Marian POV, just to help introduce the necessary important characters. Just thought I would state that. Oh and this chapter is mostly about introducing the necessary characters, I really hope everything makes sense. J
Marian's POV:
I'm woken by a piercing bright light followed a whoosh of air and I can't help but confirm my conclusion that this place, Storybook, is a strange odd place… I go to investigate where such a light could have come from in fear for my family's safety. I won't lose them again, and especially not to her, the evil queen or Regina as Robin likes to call her. He says she's changed but I know she hasn't, how could he even think of being with her, how could he allow our baby to be around her I mean she killed me! Well, she was going to if it wasn't for that Emma girl. I need to thank her again because if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here with my family.
I make my way further into the forest trying to look where this light could have come from, and as I walk further into the forest I see a figure next to one of the many tall trees. She had long golden blonde braided hair that went down her back. She had the most beautiful bright blue dress I've ever seen that sparked, before the mysterious women could spot me I hid behind a tree.
"Who's there" The girl calls out sharply turning around.
"Show yourself!"
I watch as she begins to form this white beast ten times bigger than either one of us. The beast beginning to walk towards the tree that I was standing behind. I slowly begin back away careful not to make a single noise, but my attempts seem to be in vain as the beast literally ripped the tree from it's roots within the ground causing me to fall back. Throwing the tree in the opposite direction, causing the ground to shake once the tree collided with the green soil. I try to point my arrow and bow at the beast but it growled at me, blowing the weapons from my hands.
"No" I whispered to myself in fear.
"Marian!" I hear Robin's voice and I could never have been so happy and fearful at the same time, I don't want to lose him again.
"Who are you" The girl states.
"Who are you!" Robin shouts back.
"That is none of your concern"
"Stay away from my wife!" Robin quickly made his way to me, slowly bringing me to my feet.
The beast makes his way to both me and Robin, and Robin pushes me behind him to try and protect me from this white beast.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, I think it would be smart to tame that beast of yours" I hear one of the Merry men state, Will to be exact. I see more of the merry men begin to emerge out of the trees pointing arrows at our attacker.
The girls POV:
I look at them in amusement, do they really think there little sticks could really hurt me? All I have to do is flick my wrist and they would all be ice cubes. I resist the urge to laugh, this is not why am here, and I would rather not act before I am fully aware of where I am. Who knows what the consequences of me taking them out might be, after all it could affect me finding Anna and I need to make sure I find her. Rolling my eyes I turn around and make a run for it, ensuring that my snow friend will keep them busy and prevent them from following me. I continue running and turn around to double check that no one is following me and as I turn back around I collide with a hard object, the impact causing me to fall to the ground.
"Fuck! Watch were you're going!"
"You should watch where you're going, you where the one who wasn't looking!"
The girl snaps up her head, in shock of the voice she heard.
Looking up to see a girl about 4'6, with long dark brown almost black wavy hair, and bright blue almost green eyes.
"Hazel! What are you doing here?"
"Well Elsa I saw a portal in the middle of your bedroom and I didn't think it was fair let you have all the fun. So when I saw the portal I portal jumped, you know Mum never lets me go to any dimensions other than our own" Hazel sighed out.
"I wonder why" Elsa mutters getting up from the ground.
"And what's that's supposed to mean?"
"You're a pain in the ass"
"Whatever Ice breath"
"Real mature"
"Oooo Hazel, Elsa swore" The little boy behind Hazel stated excitingly.
"You brought our 3 year old brother with you?!"
"No, well not really, I was supposed to be watching him and I saw the portal open and I kind of forgot about him. Mum did tell him to stay with me, so here we are" Hazel gives a cheeky grin showing off her deep dimples.
"Up. Up" The three year old holds his arms out to the older girl to be carried.
Elsa picks up the three year old blonde haired boy with big brown eyes.
"Did you bring anyone else with you?" Elsa rolls here eye.
"Actually yeah I did, Grace is here"
"You've got to be kidding me, mum is going to kill me! Thanks"
"Well I try, it's only my life mission to make your life hell. Anyway it's not my fault she tagged along, you know it sucks being a twin you can't go anywhere without your significant other"
"Hey! You should be happy you got my good looks" An identical version of Hazel walks towards the three.
"Tell me no one else is here"
"Hmm"
"What do you mean, hmm, tell me no one else is here Gracie"
"Fine, no one else is here"
Elsa gives a sigh of relief.
"Just because I said it, doesn't make it true"
"Oh for fuck sake"
"Oooo Elsa, you said a bad word mummy doesn't like bad words"
"Sorry Taylor"
"Who else is here?"
Before Elsa could get a response a 5'9 man began to walk towards them carrying a brown haired brown eyed 2 year old, which was asleep against his chest.
"Elsa where the hell are we, and how the hell did do we get home"
"Oooo-"
"Sorry Taylor"
"I don't know where we are"
"It looks like where in the forest" Gracie says.
"Really? I couldn't tell, of course where in the forest captain obvious!" Hazel flicks the side of Gracie's head.
"That's not what I meant idiot, I mean where in storybook"
"Oh, well why are we in the forest?" Hazel looks to Elsa.
"Yeah I would like to know that question too" Henry looks to Elsa
"Henry, how did you even get here?"
"I don't know Elsa, one minute I was putting Sarah down for her nap, and the next thing I know I was here"
"Why are you all here?"
"I was looking for Anna, and they all followed me"
"Who's Anna" The rest of them say in unison.
"You know, our cousin, about this high, 5'5, ginger hair?"
"We have a cousin?"
"Yes Gracie"
"None of you remember her?"
"Nope" The all say.
"Yeah, that was the problem back at home, me and Anna… Our cousin we came back from the Enchanted forest, and when we got back she began to disappear. I went to ask Mum and Ma what was going on but they didn't remember Anna, they said Aunt Z had died a long time ago. That's when I knew something was wrong. So when I saw the wishing star one night I wished I could fix everything, so I could bring Anna and Aunt Z back.
"Who Aunt Z" Taylor looks up at Elsa.
"Her name is Zelena, she went away but were going to get her back"
"OK, so where here to save a cousin and Aunt neither of us remember except you? Are you sure your magic is not just going to your head?"
"Yes I'm sure Hazel!"
"OK, calm down, geez"
"That doesn't explain why am here though"
"I'm sure we will find out Henry but we need to find out exactly where we are first"
"I thought we established where in Storybook"
"Yes Gracie but I mean what time, are we in the past, the future or the present"
"O.K."
"We should go and find Ma" Elsa states.
"She is likely to be at Granny's the sooner we find her the better she can take us to mum and we can sort everything out and find Anna then go home"
"The supposed 'Cousin' we forgot"
"Shut up Hazel and just take my hand"
"Guys just so you know if we are in the past Mum and Ma can't know who we are"
"Why Henry?" Gracie questions
"Because them knowing could mess up the future"
"OK"
With that the all were engulfed in blue smoke.
The smoke began to clear and they were standing outside of Granny's.
"Were definitely in the past"
"Why do you say that Henry"
"Well for one, everything looks different and look there's me, well 12 year old me"
"That's you daddy?" The brown hair girl looked up to her farther.
"Yes princess"
"Wow, you look small"
"Who is that?" Hazel states
"Who?"
"That guy with the hook Henry, who else! Why is he all over Ma and where is mum to stop this hooked guy. Who is he anyway Captain Hook? You get it he looks like a pirate and he has a Hook for a hand… No? No body? O.K. tough crowed"
"What makes you think that isn't Captain Hook?"
"Gracie, what would Ma be doing with Captain Hook, hellooo she should be with Mum. If Mum is not with Ma there is no us!"
"Calm down Hazel, maybe there just friends"
Hazel gives Elsa a skeptical look.
"Right… And friends sit real close"
"Elsa, why does Mama look different?"
"Hmm, well Taylor…" Elsa looks to Henry for help.
"Why you looking at me?"
"Were in the past Taylor"
"Hazel!" Henry and Elsa shout.
"What?"
"Cool!" Taylor beams.
"Well I'm out"
Hazel hold Taylor's arm.
"Come on Ty Ty Where going to find Mum, I think your cute factor could come in handy" with that Hazel and Taylor were engulfed in a turquoise color smoke.
"I hate this family" covers her face in frustration.
"You know were going to have to go and find them right?"
"Yes I know this Gracie but after we talk to Ma I'm sure Hazel and Ty will be fine"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night Elsa"
Regina's POV:
I hear Emma's foots steps eventually fade away and I remain in the same position that am in, on the floor with my back pressed against the door to my office with my knees hugged to my chest. I don't know how long I've remained in this position after I heard Emma leave but I know that some time has passed…
I know that Emma didn't mean to hurt me by bringing Marian back but she did and not because she ruined my chance at a happy ending but because she betrayed my trust, my loyalty. Yes I've tried to kill her a few times but we have been getting along better ever since Neverland. Her bringing back Marian betrayed my trust in the sense of I would have never expected Emma to hurt me in such a way, to take my happy ending away. And to know she wouldn't take such a deed back if she could, upsets me. I know it shouldn't but it does, why can't someone do something solely for me, why can't I be happy? Why can't I find my happy ending? I mean I'm happy for Robin as he got his wife back and Roland because he got his mother back and I wouldn't take that from either of them, well not again. But it still hurts.
I rest my head on my knees and as soon as I do so I feel magic swirling around the room.
"Go away Miss Swan, I don't want to talk to you right now"
"Mummy!"
Regina raises her head in shock.
The three year old runs towards Regina and throws his small arms around her.
"Mummy you look different why your hair short"
I look at the blonde hair boy in shock, did he just call me mummy?! How is that even possible?!
"Mummy why you sad?" The boy whips my tears away and I can't help but smile at his innocence, he is absolutely adorable. Wait why is he still calling me mummy?!
Taylor begins to push at Regina's legs so that they were no longer hugged to her chest and he could sit on her lap, and Regina re-adjust herself so he could sit on her lap comfortably.
Hazel gives a nerves laugh and walks towards Regina, sitting down beside her.
I watch as the brunet sits beside me and I can't help but notice that she looks very familiar
"Yeah he calls everyone that, you know you look like his mum, our mum. You look like our mum. And hmm of course you're not his mum, our mum. Because that wouldn't make sense, like you would know if you where our mum, you know…"
She rambling and she seems nerves, but why?
"Real smooth Hazel, real smooth" Hazel whispers to herself.
"I'm just going to stop talking now"
"Who are you?"
"You don't remember us Mummy?"
"Taylor what did we talk about before?"
"I don't know"
Hazel sighs.
"Don't listen to him, he just misses our mum where not really sure when we're going to see her again"
I look at the sadness in her eyes and I can't help but feel sympathy for them. I really hope I'm not the reason for whatever happened to their mother, or why there no longer with her. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for that.
Hazel's POV:
"I'm Hazel and this is my brother Taylor"
How could I be so stupid to bring Taylor with me of course he would call Mum Mummy as soon as he saw her, he is only three!
"I'm just going to talk with my brother for a bit"
Taylor hides his face into Regina's chest.
"But I want to stay with mummy"
"This will only take a few seconds, I promise"
"O-OK"
Hazel takes hold of Taylor and walks him to the far end of the room.
Making sure Regina couldn't hear them she muttered a silencing spell.
"Taylor remember when we said, Mum and Ma can't know who we are or bad things happen"
"Yeah"
"Then you have to make sure you don't tell mum who we are OK?"
"OK… Can I still call Mummy Mummy?"
"No Taylor"
"So what do I call Mummy?"
"Regina"
"But that sounds funny"
"I know but just try for me OK?"
"K"
Hazel removes the silence spell.
Regina's POV:
I watch as the siblings talk and I watch as Hazel mutters something under her breath, then I could no longer hear them talk. Clearly a silencing spell, and it's only then I realized they used magic to get into my office, good magic. How do they have magic?
"You have magic?"
"Er, yeah" Hazel states.
And Regina begins to rise to her feet removing any wrinkles from her grey dress.
Taylor reaches out to Regina and she automatically takes him into her arms without hesitation.
"Do I have to call you Regina? Can I call you Mummy instead?"
"Taylor" Hazel warns.
"What?" Taylor says with innocence.
"Er-" I can't help but be shocked by his question, this boy has only known me for a few minutes why does he insist on calling me his mother. And why am I not bothered by this? Why do I almost want him to call me by that title, most of all why does this boy calling me is mother warm my heart every time he says it. I can't deny that I feel connected to both of them and I don't know why, they are just so familiar maybe that's why I don't mind.
"Wouldn't your mother be upset?"
"No"
Regina looks to Hazel for confirmation.
"No she wouldn't"
"I don't know if I would be comfortable letting you call me that Taylor"
"Oh, OK"
I see tears begin to fill his eyes and I feel my heart break. What the hell is wrong with me, yes I have always had a soft spot for children but this is too much. I see the tears begin to run down his face and I almost give in, almost, how would it look to everyone if he called me mummy in front of his mother, whoever his mother is. How would it look to Henry, he would be confused. Who is there mother? In
fact where did they even come from I've never seen them before.
Wiping the boy's tears and calming him down, I look at Hazels face and I see distress in her blue green eyes. Such familiar eyes. And seeing this stops my trail of through, I need to know where they could have come from.
"Are you OK?"
"Something's wrong" I hear panic in her voice.
"What do you mean?"
"We need to go"
The girl grabs hold of my hand and we are all surrounded by a Turquoise smoke of magic.
Author's Note: Tell me what you think, not really sure how I feel about this chapter I just might re-write it doubt it though.
