Emma POV

Ok that's the 8th.... on to the next. I walked down the cold, damp, dark street counting the money I stole from this family. The Millers, "the perfect family" or so it seemed. I have this superpower, I can tell when someone was lying and they all were, to each other, typical. Ok, about 250, I can probably find a motel 6 somewhere. I continued down the street until I found the neon Motel 6 sign, said I was 18 and checked in, I'm set for about a month, or until they find me. I set down my duffle bag and plopped down on the bed, I looked around, this is my life and it sucks. Oh sorry forgot, I'm Emma, Emma Swan. I'm 16 and I'm a foster child, have been all my life, I guess you can say I'm lost. But whatever, I don't need anyone but myself, that's just what I'm used to. I'm kinda on the run form New Yorks fucked up Foster system. I keep on being moved because of my "behavioral issues" I DO NOT have issues. When a giant rodent called Kevin runs in your room and writes in your diary of course you would threaten him......with a cleaver. Right? Right? No just me, I don't know I've always had the urge to just hurt people, I'm not ashamed or scared, I accept it and try not to act on it. Now that I think about it, I always act on it, but I honestly don't care.
I get up off the bed and empty out my duffle bag, the usual pops out then the unusual does.
A clear, shiny bean falls out of my bag. It looks likes nothing so I chuck it on the floor and think nothing of it.
Then I go to the drawers under the small TV, I turn back around to see a swirling circly thing. I just want to jump into it. I see that it's starting to close, so I grab my duffle bag and jump in. Not like I have anything else to loose.
