CHAPTER 1 -
Emma woke up in the car, her eyes still wet, she has been crying the past 2 hours since she got out of her home. "Welcome to StoryBrooke" she read on a sign. The blonde wiped her tears with her hands softly, sat straight and looked over the window, a little town passing in front of her eyes, a town without life, she thought. All the houses were the same; there were no kids playing outside, all dead in some way.
Without taking her look away from the window she cleared her throat 'Mom you really have to take me there?', her mom took a deep breath 'The Judge's Orders', the blonde sighed 'But you and dad will be there for my birthday right?' She turned her head to look at her mom who was driving 'Of course sweetie, David and I will be there, you turn 18' she said looking to Emma and smiling lightly. Emma nodded and leaned her head against the window falling sleep again.
**A Forbidden Love**
'We are here Emma' said the brunette, the young girl woke up and sit straight while her mom parked the car, passing the huge black gates. Both women got out the car, Emma opened her mouth in surprise when she noticed the building in front of them an old 4 floor building all gray, 'Kinda creepy' she thought.
And glanced over to her mom 'You sure is here?' While she was taking out the only suitcase she has brought. She was a simple girl, didn't use all the stuffs girls were accustom to, so all the things she would possible need she has putted them in just a suitcase and her purse. Her mom nodded and Emma carried her things to the front door of the building, it was the first day after the holidays of end of the year. She had been suspended of her school just before the holidays and Emma was wondering right now how these past 2 weeks have brought her here. She was implicating in the burning of the school's gym.
She didn't know how she turned guilty of that accident, the only thing she remembered it she was there with her boyfriend Neal, a tall guy, brown messy hair and dark gentle eyes, not a very good influence her mom used to say but she wasn't too. Emma was a very Rebel girl, she didn't have too many friends and it was only a child, so since she had found Neal she did all kind of little crimes with him, graffiti in the walls of school, mess with their teachers' cars, bullied to other kids and almost all the time they were in the principal's office.
The fire day, she called it, was the only day she didn't remember quite well what happened, Neal had passed away that day, she had lost him when the fire begun. She screamed calling him, but any replied, the smoke didn't let her see anything and her respiratory tract was closing, she almost died too, but something saved her, some shadows moving at her sides almost lifting her, took her out of the building, out of the fire. The image of some brown chocolate beautiful eyes of a brunette stack in her mind, the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, and the next thing she remembered was her outside the place and 2 firemen picking her up, carrying her to the ambulance, hours later her mom and dad tolding her Neal was dead, she was devastated it in that moment, still was in this. So here she was entering to this creepy reformatory, after the authorities agreed that she was guilty somehow, it even had sense.
The secretary, a petite woman with red short hair dressed in an olive suit more like the one of a man and with huge glasses that covered almost all her face, took them to the background were all the students were, everyone with their suitcases, waiting in line to the principal to start talking. 'You have to say goodbye now' said the secretary opening her green gray eyes, Emma nodded and got closer to her mom 'Bye mom'.
Her mother started crying and hugged her tightly 'Ooh sweetie I'm gonna miss you so much' she said between sobs, 'Ok ok mom, I know, I'm gonna miss you too' said the blonde girl in a desperate tone, 'Say daddy I love him ok?, and I love you too, so now let me go' Emma stepped back, 'Yes I will honey, bye' said her mom.
'Come with me Miss' said the secretary. Mary, Emma's mom followed the secretary and waved her hand saying goodbye to Emma while she was leaving, the girl rolled her eyes and did the same.
The blonde walked into the background and stayed at the end of a line, her eyes took a look of all the guys around her, at her right side were this girl that called her attention in some way. The girl was somewhat pretty. She had a fair skin and a long brown hair with red strips that played along nicely with her look. She was dressed in a white tank top; a little lose in the ends, hanging on her hips above her tiny jeans short which would look indecent if she wasn't with a black stocking beneath it. She was holding her red and yellow loose necklace, studying Emma in the same way; a little grin appeared on her pale lips. Emma looked away from the girl; she wasn't dress as nicely as the girl was, only wearing a white tank top, tight gray jeans and the red leather jacket her dad has given to her. The girl got closer, smiling almost in a smirk 'I like your leather jacket' touching the end of the jacket 'By the way, I'm Ruby', Emma studied the girl once more 'Uum thank you, I'm Emma' the blonde smile, 'It's your first time here, right? Haven't seen you before' Ruby said speaking quickly and chewing a gum, 'Yeah, this is my first time', Emma thought Ruby might be younger than her maybe she was 16, but definitely younger 'You gonna like here, I'm here since last year' Ruby said with pride, 'Yes, we'll see'.
Emma wasn't sociable so having the first conversation with someone was difficult to her 'Oh you gonna love August you need to meet him' Ruby said with enthusiasm 'August' she yelled. A tall skinny guy appeared wearing black boots, dark jeans and a Motorcyclist black leather jacket 'Hey Rubes' he said lifting his head and instantly his eyes went to Emma scanning her up and down 'Hey you' he said with a smirk, Emma replied just with a 'Hey' but her mind wandered in what kind of jerk he was, Ruby presented them and the two persons in front of her couldn't take the view out of her, she was starting to feel uncomfortable.
'So tell me' Ruby broke the silence 'Why are you here?' Emma stayed in silence thinking she didn't wanna talk about Neal, 'I might had initiated a fire in my school's gym' Ruby laughed 'So cool', 'What about you guys?' Emma was getting curious. 'I stole some little stores and drove too fast in my motorcycle, not a big deal' he said putting his sun glasses on, 'I might be the one who took alcohol to the school and some brownies' Ruby laughed 'Maybe another few things too' Emma and August laughed and then turned the view to the front were the principal was stand now, starting to talk and given in somehow the welcome, Emma wasn't paying attention, she was still studying everyone she could see. Not everyone looked like they belong here, she thought, there was girls who looked so innocent and boys like the nerd kind, her eyes went to the left side of the place.
She saw a group of guys and just one girl, sitting in a bench that was there, the guys were around the girl but then one of them stepped back, Emma could see her. It was a beautiful brunette sitting in the middle of the old bench with her legs crossed the right one over the left one. She was wearing black leather tight jeans, black 4 inch high heels, a pattern black and gray blouse, sun glasses and her perfect hair looked amazingly beautiful with the wind against it. She wasn't too far from where Emma stood, the blonde open her mouth admiring the brunette, scanning her lips and all her features. The Brunette noticed the staring of the foreign girl, and took off her glasses, staring at the blonde. Emma got paralyze when she noticed the brown chocolate eyes that were looking at her, 'I know you' she thought, still looking at the brunette, Emma felt like she know the girl, it was weird, and she didn't know how she felt so sure she has met the her before. Ruby noted were the blonde was looking 'Oh she's the one that thinks she owns the place' Ruby said putting a hand on Emma's shoulder, Emma gasped a little in surprise but didn't let Ruby noticed. The Brunette gave them a rude look and turned her head ignoring them. Emma glared to ruby 'Who's she?' She asked 'Regina Mills' ruby answered.
