Chapter 2
15 years later
"Emma, darling, it is only few hours before your ball," said Snow smiling at her daughter. Years have passed quickly and little princess has grown to be a beautiful young lady, and Emma's parent's couldn't be more proud of her. She was also very smart, so smart that she hadn't gone to any classes in many years. And her riches had made the Kingdom the center of the whole realm. Everything Emma had was made of gold, silver and precious diamonds and gemstones. When she was younger, Snow could brush her long blond hair for hours with a golden brush that had big emerald on its handle, green as the eyes of the princess.
Emma stood up from the chair she had been reading for hours. She straightened her dress like a lady, nod to her mother and started to leave the room. "Emma?" Snow called and Emma turned to face her. "I love you so very much darling, you are perfect in any way." Emma smiled, turned and left the room. Snow stayed and wondered, what a lovely person her daughter had grown up to be. In Snow's, and also David's mind Emma was a lovely lady, with a heart made of gold. Everyone around Emma loved her, and told her about her perfection every single day.
At corridor Emma walked towards her rooms, chatting to people on her way. Go away, leave me alone. I am better than all of you. She smiled to people who greeted her but her thoughts were on her next lesson and her teacher. Her stupid mother may think Emma didn't have any lessons, because she had stopped going to them when she was 10. The truth was that she just simply changed her curriculum. She used to study boring, over-easy things, but now she could learn something challenging. Thanks to my mother. That silly woman had made a deal she couldn't understand, but Emma did. When her teacher came for the first time, it was like everything in Emma's world suddenly made sense. This was what she was meant to do. She had the money, brain, all she needed, all it took.
Rumpelstiltskin had taught Emma things she truly wanted to know. How to make people do what she wanted, how to do things without people noticing, how to hurt them. With her powers she created another personality for herself. To most of the people that lived at her castle, she was like her mother, pure and kind. But for her maids and other people she disliked she was simply evil.
Emma entered her room and first thing she saw was her maid looking at Emma's big mirror, brushing her hair with her fingers. "Marian, what the hell do you think you are doing?" Marian gasped and took a few steps back. "I am so sorry, m'lady, I, I was just, cleaning. I was only cleaning, I swear!" Emma walked towards her maid as Marian took more steps back until her back hit the wall. Her eyes were full of tears and she tried to get away from Emma. It was no secret that Emma's maids changed often. The two girls dresses touched and Emma signed.
"Look what you did now, my dress is ruined, I have to burn it later. But first I will deal with you. You looked into my mirror. MY mirror. You know what it means? You looked into the mirror that's only job was to reflect my beauty. Now, you ruined it too." Emma's lips turned into an evil grin. "I am afraid that I need a new maid... Isn't it awful that all the good maid's always runaway and disappear." Marian was sobbing and praying that Emma would let her go. But she didn't listen to the girl's cries. Emma raised her hand and trusted it into Marian's chest. The maid was screaming now, and Emma laughing as she ripped the girls heart out and crushed it. Marian fell to the ground and her empty eye's stared at Emma.
"How lovely, you have learnt well, dearie." Emma turned to face her teacher. Rumple was sitting in a satin chair with crossed legs and he was holding a spell book in his hand. Emma looked at it and raised her brow. "Today, I am going to teach you some charming-spells. You are getting to that age, dearie. We have only an hour before you have to be back for you ball" Rumple said the last word with a high-pinched voice and giggled. "Now, clean that mess and get ready for you lesson. Who knows, maybe you can test your new skills tonight."
I know it took awhile, but next chapter will come faster, at least I hope so. Thank you for all nice reviews, follows and everything else!
