Chapter 3: Suspicions

For two weeks the group kept to their jobs without much trouble. Faith and Sophia immediately became friends with Ruby. Henry or William as he was called kept a close eye on both of his moms as well as his younger self. They were trying their best not to change anything that is supposed to happen for if they did they could change their future too. Bay or Joseph would sometimes follow Belle around without her noticing and kept a watch on his younger self. When Faith saved Henry's younger self it was a good thing but it also put her life in danger. All four of them had to be on their guard and be extremely careful. Of course trouble always seems to follow them as it did on one certain day. Sophia came in to Granny's to give Faith an update on their mission. Sidney Glass was sitting at the counter when his eyes met Sophia's and they immediately turned to lust. "Faith can I talk to you for a second", Sophia asked politely as Faith went on break and went in the back of a deserted booth.

"So, how is it going?" Faith whispered as they both sat down.

"Just fine Henry I mean William is keeping an eye on Regina and Bay um Joseph is watching his mom. I need to go back to the pawn shop to keep an eye on my dad. Oh and according to Joseph Emma should be here soon so keep a close eye on her okay", Sophia said.

"I got it thanks Angela I mean Sophia", Faith said quickly.

"I still wish I could use my real name instead of my middle name", Angela grumbled.

"I know but we didn't know which time period we were in. Shoot I was taking a chance by using my real name but don't worry soon we will find out who is behind this and we will stop them. Then we can all go back home to our normal lives", Faith assured her.

"You are right well I will see you after work be careful", Angela or Sophia said.

"You too", Faith said with a smile. The two girls departed and just then Sidney walked in front of Angela.

"Hello young lady did anyone ever tell you that your eyes are beautiful?" he asked in a velvet tone.

"Uh not recently but thank you for the compliment now if you would excuse me", Angela said with a nervous grin as she tried to walk passed him only to have him grab her arm.

"What is the rush honey surely you can stay for a bit and have a drink with me?" Sidney asked as Angela could smell the alcohol on him.

"Sorry but I'm only 18", Angela said as she pulled her arm free.

"Oh come on honey I am sure I can persuade the bartender to look the other way", Sidney said as he pulled her toward the counter. Just then Faith showed up and pulled Angela free from Sidney's grasp.

"My sister said no so I suggest that you go on home and sleep the alcohol off sir", Faith said firmly as her eyes flashed Sidney a dangerous look. Sidney was about to say something until Emma Swan came waltzing in through the door.

"Is there a problem here guys?" she asked in a cheery tone but like Faith was flashing a deadly look.

"No problem here sheriff I was just walking my sister to the door", Faith said sweetly as Angela nodded in agreement. Sidney just glared at the girls as he slowly walked outside and on to his house. Emma just smiled at the girls and watched Angela leave as Faith got back to work.

"So, how long are you and your sister staying in town?" Emma asked.

"I don't know till we make enough money to go somewhere else", Faith said without looking up. She excused herself to go wait on an elderly couple but Emma noticed that Faith kept staring at her. When Sidney sobered up his mind became to spin for there was something off about that group of people who came into town. That Sophia girl he swore up and down looked just like Mr. Gold's wife Belle except her eyes were different. Also, he had seen that Joseph boy following Belle around like some kind of watch dog. Then that William boy almost looks like baby Henry. Then there was that Faith girl with her chocolate brown eyes glaring at him. He only saw those eyes in one person and that was Regina Mills and that glare reminded him of Ms. Emma Swan when she was mad. Yes, something was off about those people and he was bound determined to unlock their secret. Maybe if they were wanted criminals he would get a reward and his paper would sky rocket. Yes, he would definitely find out more about them and when he did he would be the greatest reporter ever, he thought smugly to himself. He gulped down a shot of whiskey and began to form a plan on getting some information on that group. Faith got done with her shift and went up to the room she shared with Angela. But the younger girl was gone and she saw Henry and her outside looking up at the stars. Then Henry leaned in and kissed Angela. Henry was always a gentlemen for their mothers had raised them well. A tear fell from her eye as she wished they were back home.

"Hey, darling how are you doing?" Bay asked her as he slid his arms around her waist. She leaned in on his chest as she breathed in his scent.

"I am fine just homesick", she replied sadly.

"Don't worry babe once we find out who wants to mess up our future we will stop them and then go home", Bay told her as he held her tight.

"You make it sound so easy I just hope it turns out that way", Faith said as she turned around to face him.

"Don't worry Faith as long as the four or us our together we will win", Bay said. "I just wished we could be our true selves in this time period", he said sadly as he pulled a gold chain with a wedding ring on it as did Faith. They got married when Faith was 18 despite their mother's objections but they were in love. So far, they had made it work and Faith was Bay's better half as he was hers.

"Don't worry like you said soon we will go back home", Faith said as she stared into his eyes with a look of pure love.

"As long as I have you by my side I feel unstoppable", Bay said with a grin then he leaned down and kissed her lips as they held each other for the rest of the night.
