Snow White POV
Emma felt asleep in her arms. She was so beautiful and strong kid Snow thought.
"I think I should go, Snow," Ella said.
"Okay," Snow answered still with Emma in her arms.
"But what about her?" Ella pointed at the girl.
"Don't worry about her. She can stay here with me for now. Only until we find her family," Snow said looking at Emma.
Ella started to worry about her friend so she said: "I know what you are thinking but she can't be yours."
"I know," Snow spoke sadly. "But why would Regine hold her as captive? Why she would be so important if she wasn't my daughter?" she asked.
"I honestly don't know Snow. I would be so happy for you if she was your but I don't to give you false hope. That would hurt you more. You can learn more about her when she wakes up." Ella stood up and walked to the front door with Snow right behind her.
Ella turned to her friend and asked. " When is Charming and other coming back?"
"They should be here tomorrow. Don't worry your husband will be here soon. I just hope the castle is in good condition," Snow smiled at Ella.
"Yeah, we will see. But I should really go back to my baby," but before she left she hugged Snow.
"Bye. See you later," Snow said and then closed the door and walked into the living room to checked on Emma . But the noise, unfortunately, woke her up.
Her eyes were wide opened, the terror was screaming from them. "What's wrong?" Snow gently asked.
"It's alright. It was a nightmare," a shaky voice answered her.
"You don't have to worry anymore. The queen will not hurt you here, I promise you," she said while she sat down nxt to Emma. "How are you feeling?"
"Okay. I'm just a little confused," Emma answered.
"I can find your family and take you to them," Snow offered.
"You can't," the girl sadly looked on the floor.
"Why honey? I have a lot of friends someone will know them."
"I don't think so. Even if you knew them they hate me," she was still looking on the floor.
"Oh, common has could anyone hate you. You are such a sweet young girl," Snow tried to cheer her up.
"Because they left me on one side of a road. I don't have parents, I never did," the tears filled her eyes again.
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked that" Snow felt really bad for upsetting the girl even more.
"It's fine. You didn't know and I'm fine with it. I don't need them, I'm better on my own," she said but Snow could see she did care. The hurt and pain were written on her face.
"Can I ask you few questions?" Emma wondered.
"Of course you can," she said with a smile.
"What is this place? Why is here a castle and why are people dress like from old times?" she asked.
"Oh, you don't know anything about Enchanted Forest? " she asked.
"No, what is it?" but Emma's answer didn't surprise her.
"The fairy tales you knew when you was young, wasn't just stories someone made up. I know it sounds crazy right now but it's all true. This place, Enchanted forest, is a magical world where every fairy tale is real," Snow said.
"It can be. Magic doesn't exist. How could it?" Emma refused to believe in magic because she couldn't understand why bad things happened when there was magic.
"Deep down I think you know that magic is real. Emma, you are here in a realm which have castles, kings and queens, swords and bows. How could a girl just appear in a different world, if there was no magic?" Snow asked.
"Let's tell that magic is real, what is crazy by the way, how did I end here? Why me?" she asked still refusing the truth.
"You should know our story. So I will tell you to help you understand." And then she started telling her own story. "It all started a long time ago. It was a little princess, who tried to be good to everyone but she couldn't keep one secret. She didn't mean to hurt someone but she did. The evil queen wanted the princess to suffer. Snow White ran from her home because the huntsman was supposed to kill her. But he had a heart and instead of killing her he help her, so she ran and never stopping. She made friends on her journey, met her true love but Evil Queen never gave up. She was searching for her until she ate the apple to protect her love once. She woke up with true love kiss and took her kingdom back with her prince Charming, but that is not the end of a story as it's written in books. The Evil Queen created a powerful dark curse, but there was still a hope. The unborn child of Snow White and prince Charming was supposed to be a savior. They had to give her up to save her and she was transported to the world without magic, your world," Snow was telling a story of her life but it made her sad. She never overcame her loss of her newborn baby. "Others from here were transported to your world too but without any memory of their really lives without happiness until one day a curse was broken. The magic took us back, but we don't know what broke the curse."
"But why I'm here with you?" Emma slowly started to believe.
"I can't answer you for sure, but I think there are to possibilities. Maybe you were just at a wrong place in a wrong time or you belong here," Snow said.
"How can I go back to my world?" Emma wanted an answer.
"I don't know, but I'm afraid there is no way back. This is your world now," Snow could felt for that girl in that moment. She was in a new world with no familiar face.
Then Emma asked another question. She didn't even know the reason why she asked. "Did you ever find your baby?"
"We hoped she would appear here when the curse was broken but she didn't, we even searched for her but without any success. But I never gave up," she gave Emma a big smile.
