Finding You

Chapter 1

Emma Swan lived in the Village right next to the castle, like always. She loves it there. It was home. She didn't have much money, almost nobody does in this kingdom, other than the Royals, but they were all very happy. And if someone was in very deep need of money, others were always willing to help out.

Emma has lived in several places, as she was an orphan. But this little village was the one that felt most like how she imagined a perfect home would feel. It always felt that way when she was close to the castle.

Queen Snow and King David were everyone's favorite kind and Queen. As David had come from humble beginnings and Snow had felt with her fair share of heartbreak as a young child, as rich as they were, they were very humble, and they could relate to the public. And they were also very kind.

However, 18 years ago... tragedy struck the kingdom.

On April 21st 18 years ago the kingdom's hearts were filled, when Snow and Charming welcomed a baby girl. They were in love, somehow even more in love with their daughter than They were with each other if that was possible. And the kingdom loved her too.

Everything seemed perfect at last up until the day they were to announce her name. The villagers stood in front of the castle with signs welcoming her and congratulating Snow and Charming. They stood on the balcony and rolled out a sign saying her name.

Emma.

Everyone cheered until they saw green smoke in the air above them. Villagers screened, Emma cried at the noise when they screamed. Charming pulled out his sword as did the other guards. Snow stood behind trying to calm Emma down, blocking her. As the thing that the green smoke was following Stopped right in front of Snow. She knew who it was immediately,

Zelena.

The Wicked witch of the West had never been. Threat to this kingdom before, but she wasn't unheard of. She was the Evil Queen's sister.

Regina had been defeated right before Snow and Charming had decided to try to have kids, but it seemed Zelena had come to finish what her sister could not.

Snow tried to run but Zelena used her magic and the little princess was in her arms, not her mother's. She called and zoomed away as people gasped and screamed. As she rode above the woods the citizens of The Enchanted Forest saw something small drop from Zelena's clutches... Emma.

All of the kingdoms searched for the baby princess for months but they never found her. Charming didn't want to give up but for a baby to survive that drop would be amazing, seemingly impossible but Snow refused. She had this feeling that she couldn't describe, but it told her that Emma was out there, not just her body but she was alive. But eventually, Snow knew that even though she was sure her baby girl was alive, she knew she wouldn't be in the forest anymore, so she decided to compromise. The guards would not have to search the forest anymore, but they had to go to other kingdoms once a year and see if they could get any more information, even though deep down Snow knew they wouldn't find any.
