Once Upon a Dream

Chapter 6

It was like how I left it except all the windows were covered which was weird. " uh why are the windows covered???" I ask lana. "Oh uh I wanted to get it dark enough for you to rest." She says trying to act like shes not lying but you can tell shes lying but I just let it go and head inside. I open the door and see a big banner saying "welcome home". Everyone who played a major character from Once was there and it made me happy. I look around and get tears in my eyes. Lana sees it and hugs me. "Aww sweetie what's wrong???" She asks stroking my hair. "I....just never thought that I would ever get a family that cares about me.." I say trying to breath to stop crying. "Awww" Everyone say and we all have a big group hug. I dry my tears and smile and see Jared come to me. "Hey can I show you something super cool??" He asks me. "Depends on how cool it is." I say. "Totally cool" he says smiling. "Ok" I say and nod and he grabs my hand and leads me to my room door. "Ok I'm going to wrap this around your eyes so I will have to lead you in." He says putting a blindfold on my eyes. "Uh ok.." I say excited but also nervous. He takes my hands and leads me inside and automatically I hear libby panting and I hear another dog but idk who it was. "Ok." He says. "You can take the blindfold off." I take it off and see libby and lily wearing two little outfits. One was a Emma swan and the other was a snow white one. "Oh my God..." I say speechless. "Look on your bed." He says. I look on my bed and see a basket full of once stuff which was awesome. I go and look at it and see a paper that said "I hope this makes you feel better and helps you get in character for when we start shooting." "I love it!!!" I say and hug him. "Good because I kind of had to do a lot of searching to get all of it." He says and we both let go. I smile and look at him. "It is hard to find once stuff." I say and nod and look at my animals and look back at him. I dont know but I got this weird feeling that I should kiss him and we were close enough so I could do it. I gather my courage and kiss him on the cheek and back up. "Thanks I really love it." I say and smile. He smiles "your welcome." He says. "Oh wait I forgot the best part." He says and goes in my closet and grabs a red leather jacket. "Here." He says and holds it up fo me to put it on and I put my arms in the sleeves. "Now I am emma swan!! Fear me I am the savior!!" I say playing around. Me and jared laugh and he looks deep in my eyes and approaches me I go in a little and our lips meet. They were perfectly in rythm. We part and stare at eachother for what seems like years. "And theres something in the right pocket." He adds. I put my hand in the pocket and see a once phone case with a Iphone in it. I read what the case says and see that it says Emma's motto on it. "Its awesome!!! Thank you." I say and smile. "And I already put everyone's number in so you can contact anyone you want." He says. I look to the floor. "Hey what's wrong??" He asks pulling my face to close to his. "I just really like you and I...want you to like me back..." I say. "Well if the kiss we had doesn't show you I like you I dont know what will.." he says. "I mean ok yeah but I just want it to work.." I say. He kisses me one more time and pulls away. "It will work out but you have to trust me." He says. I nod "ok ". We head back down stairs and I see a lot of presents on the couch for me which was cool but weird because I was just in the hospital. "Uh.. what's with all the presents???" I ask so confused. "Well I was planning a party for you...after the adoption and I never got to do it because.....yeah so we are having it now." Lana says. "Could I open them now???" I ask. "Yes sure." She says smiling. I go to the couch and sit on the floor next to the presents. And everyone else follows me and Jared sits next to me. "Ok let's do the small one first " I say and open this little box that has a pretty crystal swan on it. "Oh I love it!!!" I say smiling. I put it next to me on the side with jared in case he wanted to look at it. "Oh open ours next!!!" Ginny says. "Which one is it??" I ask looking at the presents. "The one with the bow." She says. I see it and grab it and open it. It was a fake heart and a picture of lana with the heart.  "I...is this one of the real hearts you use???" I ask picking it up. "Yep adam and eddie thought you could practice it for your character and didnt need it anymore so yeah." Ginny says smiling. "I love it!! Now I can actually do the heart scenes on TikTok!!! This is so cool." I say. There were 3 more presents left and so I open the next one and just see once shirts and a once hoodie.I open the second box and see belle's chipped cup and zelenas pendant. I opened the last box and it had a beautiful once charm bracelet which was cool and awesome. And a braclet that had the Charmings motto. I put the bracelets on. "I love all of it thank you all so very much!!!" I say happily to everyone. By this time it was about 2 and almost everyone left but because they had to take care of someone. Jen, Ginny, Jared, and of coarse lana all stayed. Ginny had Josh take care of their kids and decided to stay to help clean, and same with Jen. It took us less than an hour to clean and by that time Jen and Ginny left. Jared convinced lana and his mom to let him spend the night. When it was almost time for me to get my Pjs on I decided to take a shower so I wouldn't have to in the morning. Once I got out I saw Jared sitting on my bed which made me jump, luckily I was dressed so he didnt see me naked. "Oh I thought you would be happier to see that I'm staying the night here." He says faking a pout. "I am I just didnt expect you to be right here when i got out of the shower." I say brushing my hair. "Well I was hoping I could stay in here tonight??" He suggests. "Sure as long as mom doesn't freak out about it.." I say. "I heard my name???" Lana says and hurries in. "What????" I ask confused. "You said mom instead of calling her lana...." Jared says. "Wait really I didnt relize it..." I say. "Aww my daughter is calling me mom!!!" Lana says hugging me. "You have never called me that..." jared says referring to OUAT. I smile and giggle a little. "Hey that's my line." Lana says. "Oh like sorry I'm late.." I say sitting next to Jared on the bed. "You both are mean!!!" Lana says fake pouts and leaves the room. I laugh at her and lay back on my bed and jared does the same. I turn to look at him and put my hand on his cheek. "What??" He asks smiling. "Nothing I just never thought you would ever like me..." I say. "Well I do." He says and kisses me. I pull away smile and lay on his chest. "I love you Lizzie." He says. "I love you too...but now that I'm playing snows sister...I'm your great aunt....but then again also your sister...." I say thinking of the OUAT family tree. "Well I'm ok with that." He says. I snuggle up close to him, and soon enough I fell asleep.
Dream- *I woke up not to long after that but couldn't move because I was tied to my beds headrest. "What the hell??" I say and struggle to try to get free. I look around and see a shadow in the corner. "Hello?? Could you help me???" I ask. "Why would I help you??? You got me killed.." the shadow says. "I dont know you..." I say getting scared. The shadow moves towards me and I see that its Jared with blood all over him and I see his throat cut and bleeding badly. "J....Jared??? What happened to you???" I ask looking him up and down. "You got me killed and so now you are going to get killed." He says with a crazy grin on his face. "What no!! I didnt do anything to you I love you!! You love me!!." I say with tears falling down my cheeks. He goes to a table and grabs a blade. I struggle more to try to get free. I look around the room for something to help me get free. Jared gets the blade close to my neck and gets ready to cut me but right before he cuts me I see Mark in the opposite corner smiling at my suffering. Jared cuts my throat and i lie there limpless.*
I jump up heavily breathing and look next to me and see that Jared was asleep so I get up so I dont wake him and go to the livingroom couch. I lay on the couch and stare at the ceiling. I hear libby whining and so I take her out of her cage and put her leash on her and take her outside so we could walk. I look at the sky and see stars that I believe my birth parents are. I always look up at the stars and whichever two are the brightest, are my birth parents. I look at my phone and look at my social media and see if anyone has figured out about the adoption but it didnt seem like anyone did. We turn the corner and get to the dog park. I look at my phone and see someone text me. It was Libby. (No not the dog, Libby the dog was named after the girl Libby but everyone calls her Lyra.) She texted me and luckily I memorized her number so I would be able to call her on any phone.
Texts:

End text*
I put my phone in my pocket and stare at the stars. After about an hour or so I hear footsteps and figure it's just libby walking around, but it wasnt so I leaned up when someone grabbed me. I screamed at the top of my lungs but the person covers my mouth. "No!!!! Please no!!!!" I start screaming. The person comes to the front of me and I see that it was just Lana. "Shhhh!!!! I'm sorry I didnt mean to scare you...." she says putting her finger on her lips.
