The Two Truest Believers-Part 10:

The first sign that something had changed was when Zelena looked up at the clock reading it said 8:10am.

"Sis you need to come and have a look at this," she called before Regina appeared.

"What is it?" she asked before following Zelena's outstretched arm to the clocktower and her eyes widened as she saw the time had changed.

"How is that even possible?"

"I don't know but it's happened and clearly happened during the night."

"What are you going today?" David asked Emma as everyone was getting ready.

"First of all go and get some hot chocolate, no offence, then find me a job and get Eva into school," Emma replied.

"Well if you come by the school around 11:15 I can get Eva sorted so she could start tomorrow. Sheriff Mills will know of the jobs in the town and Granny's is the best for a decent cup of hot chocolate," Mary Margaret smiled before passing Emma a spare key to the loft and headed out. David told Emma where Granny's, the school and the sheriff's office was before heading out himself.

The door to Granny's opened and a bell rang softly before a young woman walked out from somewhere.

"Hey what can I get you?" She asked, "never seen you around here before. I'm Ruby."

"We just moved here. I'm Emma and this is Eva my daughter. 2 cups of hot chocolate with cinnamon please," Emma said before heading to a booth.

"You're seriously sticking me into school here too?" Eva asked, "why didn't you ask me first?" Emma looked at Eva,

"Because I knew you didn't want to stay."

"You got that right," Eva said as Ruby walked over with some pancakes and the hot chocolate.

"I didn't order the pancakes," Emma said.

"On the house as a welcome to Storybrooke gift," she said before heading back behind the counter.

"Mrs. Nolan!" Henry called as he saw his teacher arriving, "do you know what's happened to Emma and Eva?"

"Now why would I know that Henry?" Mary Margaret replied.

"Because you and her got on well." The woman sighed,

"They are staying with me and Mr. Nolan for now but why they've stayed I don't know."

"So that's why the clock has started moving again!" He said before heading inside leaving Mary Margaret wondering what he was on about.

The morning wore on and soon it was 11am and Emma looked at her watch.

"We need to get down to the school Eva," she told her daughter.

"Why can't I just stay here?" Eva asked, "it's not as if I'm starting today."

"I can't just leave you here with nobody to watch you," Emma said, "now get your things together."

"I would be fine sat here," Eva said. Ruby had been cleaning the table next to them and looked over.

"I'd be happy to keep an eye on her," she said, "if she's got some stuff that she can do then I'd be happy to keep an eye on her." Emma sighed,

"I don't really know you though."

"She'll be fine in the corner. I can tell her all about Storybrooke." Emma sighed and nodded before grabbing her coat and heading out.

She eventually arrived at the school and headed inside to find Mary Margaret. She stood and waited outside the classroom as the teacher let the class go for their break. Emma waited before noticing Henry stood in front of her.

"You stayed. I knew you would," he said before running off into the playground.

"You found us then," Mary Margaret smiled as she stood beside Emma, "where's Eva?"

"At Granny's with some woman called Ruby."

"Ruby's good. Eva will be fine with her. Follow me."

"So how long are you staying then? "Ruby asked Eva.

"I don't know. I didn't even want to stay," Eva said.

"Yeah I know how that feels being stuck somewhere you don't really want to be," Ruby said before beginning do you tell Eva about Storybrooke got Eva a chocolate milkshake.

"So that's Eva ready to start in my class tomorrow," Mary Margaret said as she signed the last bit of paper, "she's in my class so she will be with Henry but it should be ok. Might help them learn to get along. Eva's sorted now what about you?"

"I'm heading to the sheriff's office to see if they know of any jobs."

"Just be careful. Sheriff Mills is the sister of the Mayor." Emma nodded before heading out.

Zelena was sat behind her desk when she heard the door open. She put her cup down and looked before seeing Emma walk in.

"I thought you left town Miss Swan," Zelena said.

"No I've decided to stick around for a bit so I've just got Eva into school but I hear you're the one who knows about the jobs in Storybrooke," Emma said getting straight to the point.

"Well as far as I know there are no jobs in town. How is Eva?"

"She's mad but she'll be okay once she settled. Thanks for the help," Emma said before turning to leave.

"Wait. Aren't you a bail bonds person? "Zelena asked clearly thinking.

"Yeah why?" Emma asked.

"Well I'm looking for a deputy, "Zelena said, "think you can manage that?"

"Yes sure."

"Start tomorrow. 8am sharp meet me here, "Zelena said before Emma politely thanked her and headed out.

Zelena instantly grabbed her phone and rang Regina.

"Sis Miss Swan has clearly decided to stick around."

"That wasn't the plan at all."

"No but I've solved the problem of not having a deputy. "Silence invaded the cool and Zelena waited to see how Regina would react.

"That's brilliant sis, "Regina finally said, "We can keep an eye on Miss Swan and make sure Eva is okay. But one thing is for sure Miss Swan will regret the day she crossed paths with me…"
