I don't known the characters from OUAT…but the OC's are mine.
Emma stared at the girls; there was something about Ava that seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. The girls circled around each other whispering. "Excuse, me?" Regina interrupted, frustration clearly shown on her face. "You didn't answer my question." All three girls, looked over at Regina, "Sorry," Lily said stepping forward, as she pushed some of her long dark hair behind her ear, "We can't answer that, and frankly it's none of your business."
"None of my business!?" Regina growled, "I am the Mayor of this town, so that makes it my business."
Ava and Gracelyn stared at Lily in shock, "Did she? Did she just?"
"Yes, yes she did!" Ava responded shock found it's way across her face. At that moment Henry came into view. "Henry!" Ava said in surprise as Gracelyn, clapped her hand over Ava's mouth, "shhhh. You're gonna give us away!"
"How do you know my son?" Regina demanded. All three girls took a step back.
"Regina, you're scaring them." Charming said as he put his arm between Regina and the three teens. "If I don't start getting some answers soon, they will have a reason to be afraid." Regina's voice was poisonous. After all last time random strangers showed up in Storybrooke, the place was almost blown up; her beloved son was kidnapped and almost DIED.
"Henry," Emma asked, "Do you know any of these girls?" Henry shook his head, "No, I don't know them."
Gracelyn bit her lip, "Lily what are we going to do?"
"I don't know, I'm thinking, give me a second." Lily said keeping her eyes locked on Regina.
"Maybe Gold, knows something." MaryMargret said watching as the three girls whispered.
"I don't want them running around" Regina said as she shot them a glare. The girls continued to whisper. "Until we know more about them."
"What are we gonna do Regina?" Emma said, "Lock them up till we talk to Gold."
"Precisely" Regina said, "You remember what happened last time strangers showed up here?"
"Like I could forget," Emma responded, her tone defensive. The teens watched the adults whisper, wondering what the adults were planning for them.
"I want to go home." Ava said slowly, "This was a bad idea. I just wanted to help my mom…"
"I know" Gracelynn said, "I wanted to help my nephew."
"And I my brother," Lily said, "I honestly didn't think it would work."
"Yet here we are." Gracelyn said, "My dad is going to kill me when he finds out what we've done."
Both Ava and Lily nodded in agreement. They knew they were in some hot water with their parent's too, if they find out.
"Since we're here." Gracelynn said, "How bout we still try to help. If your still up for it Ava? At least till we figure out how to get home."
Ava nodded as she looked at the talking adult, "We need to try."
"We need to protect them" Gracelyn said, as she watched the adults stopped their whispering and turned towards them. "Agreed." Ava and Lily replied.
"Come with us girls," Charming said softly. The girls followed Charming, however Ava lagged a little behind.
"Come on, Kid." Emma said putting her hand on Ava's shoulder. "Don't be afraid everything will be fine." Emma could tell the girl was on the verge of tears and seemed to be struggling with her thoughts.
Ava looked at Emma, as a greater sadness washed over her expression at Emma's touch, " He's coming, Emma."
"Who's coming?" Emma said, looking at Ava confused.
"Roy." Ava said slowly, almost as if she was rethinking what had already escaped from her mouth.
Emma froze, the blood slowly drained from her face, and her hands began to tremble at the mere mention of his name.
Before Emma could respond, Ava darted forward to catch up with Charming and the two other girls.
Ava glanced back at Emma, as she climbed into Charming's truck. She instantly regretted telling Emma, because there Emma stood. Frozen, pale and trembling; she had the most horror-stricken expression on her face that Ava had ever seen. It broke Ava's heart.
