chapter four

The Enchanted Forest

Many years ago

Isaac sat down and continued to write. Liking what he had so far. Regina falling for her second chance true love.

Standing outside of the pub she glanced inside once more at the man with the Lion tattoo. Plucking up the courage she opened the door and walked in. Her heart was beating erratically in her chest. She walked up to the man and cleared her throat. The man turned to look at her.

"Can I help you, M'lady?" The man asked

Regina froze for a moment. Smiling she straightened her posture, "May I speak with you for a moment? In private?"

The man looked at his friends with a knowing smirk before following Regina outside where it was quiet and had cleaner air.

"What can I do for a beautiful woman like yourself?"

"Well, first, my name is Regina."

"Robin. Robin of Loxley."

"I was informed by a fairy that there are such thing as second chance true loves. She sprinkled fairy dust and it led me to you."

Robin looked puzzled as she talked. When she was finished he thought on it, "Well, I don't believe I have met my first true love so can that happen?"

"I don't see why not."

Isaac finished that bit between the two with a well timed kiss. He continued writing about Regina and Robins relationship. How they got married, how Regina welcomed Snow back and welcomed Charming to the family. Though there was about a ten year age gap between Snow and Regina, Snow had Emma. Fourteen years later Regina was finally able to have a child. A daughter. Isaac then decided he didn't like all this happiness.

Minutes after Regina and Robin's daughter is born many things happen at once. The infant is sent to another realm some how. Suddenly the clock is sent back. Everyone looses their memories of the past fourteen years.

Isaac is back where he was. He rips out the ages of Robin and Regina together sending them away. Instead, on the new page twenty-three he makes Regina leave the pub.

Our World

May 3, 1996

The early Summer air was cool at this hour in the morning. In a small part of Maine sat a two story house that was home to a fairly young couple. The couple had been married for five years and try as they might, they could not have a child. The sun had yet to come up, the husband however was about the house. Starting the coffee and turning on the news as he did everyday. Everything was playing out as expected. The husband left as his wife was waking up. With a kiss on the lips he left the house to begin his work day. On his drive to work however, things were not usual. About halfway to his office the man noticed something on the side of the rode. Pulling off to look the man stepped out of the car. As he approached the thing it started to cry. Shocked the man ran forward. Squatting down he scooped up the infant. The man walked back to his car and got in holding the child. Pulling out his phone he called his wife.

"What is it, Jim?"

"I found a baby on the side of the rode," Jim replied holding the whimpering child.

"Is it okay?"

"She's in a blanket but that's it. She seems okay."

"Take her to the hospital, I'll meet you there. After I call David and tell him you may be out all day."

Jim agreed before hanging up. Pulling his seatbelt on, he held the infant in one arm and drove to the hospital.

"Well, if she was abandoned than it was within a few hours ago. She seems very healthy and in good shape," the doctor said to the couple.

"What will happen to her?" Jim's wife asked.

"Seeing as she was abandoned we would call social services. They would take her and put her in a suitable foster home until she is adopted," explained the doctor," That is of course if you don't want her."

Jim and his wife looked to each other. Jim made the decision quickly. He turned back to the doctor and smiled, "We will take her."

With a smile the doctor nodded before explaining the process of adoption and everything that would have to be done. Space in their house was no problem, they had plenty of room for a baby. So with all the paperwork done, the Kennedy's took their daughter home.

Present Day

Avery was three at the time that Lux was born. Though by May she would be four. She was upset at first. Now there was a baby in the house, she feared the baby would take all of mommy and daddy's love and leave Avery alone. So needless to say for the first six years Lux and Avery just could not get along. It was constant bickering, to Avery trying to be nice and Lux being a brat. Then at fourteen and ten the two started to get along and spend more time together.

Neither girl knew why until that time they didn't get along. They blamed it on just the normal sibling things. When Avery was twelve she had started to notice things that were different. She looked nothing like either parent. Unlike her sister. Lux had their fathers hair and nose and their mothers personality and chin. Avery didn't have blonde hair, or their fathers personality. By fourteen she would wait until they would leave for shopping or date night, once they left she would go to their room and try and find answers.

It wasn't until two years later that she finally found the truth. She felt stupid for not realizing it sooner. It all made sense too. When she went to her parents about it they weren't mad that she was looking for answers, they were upset that she found out the way she did. By this time she was working after school so she didn't talk with her parents often. She would get home then do homework ate in her room and went to bed. She got a car she payed for on her own and spent more time with Lux or friends. She was mad her parents had kept that from her. She had spent her whole life thinking she was someone different only to have the rug pulled out from under her in a way she never expected. She spent the next six months looking for clues as to who she truly was.

It wasn't until after the death of their father and mother that she gained a clue. A page, much like the one that held Regina and Robin kissing in the pub, appeared in the last place she ever expected. It was during school. Avery was getting out her binder for the class and there it sat in the cover sleeve. Many girls made fancy covers to sit in there. Avery kept hers empty. The image was Regina and Robin with a baby in their arms, at the time it made no sense to her.

Avery sat at her desk staring at the page as she had done many times. She hadn't heard Lux walk in so the older sister jumped when she felt the weight of another person on her shoulders. The you girl laughed.

"What's s this? Is this another missing page? Where'd it come from?"

"Yeah it's a missing page. I've had it for a few years now. It didn't make sense until all this storybook stuff started happening. It looks like this author guy had more than just that one page for a different life," Avery said looking at her sister.

"What's this whole box?" Lux asked turning to look at the box on her sisters bed.

"Stuff about me."

"Like that fact that you were adopted?"

"How'd you know?"

"I heard mom and dad talk about it a few times before they died."
