Across A Town Line

Chapter 2: Nope, Storybrooke

"Check the map," Nina told me.

"I told you already, there is no town called Storybrooke, why would I lie to you?" I said exasperated, releasing a frustrated sigh. I couldn't believe this was happening. We were finally living our dream, and we ended up on a seemingly nonexistent town.

"Okay, calm down guys," said Lilibelle, who was leaning against the car. "Let's walk and look for a place where we can go get help.'

"Okay, let's get going!" shouted Nina. We started walking through the road that we hoped led to Storybrooke. Among all of the confusion, we failed to realize that it had become morning. The bright sun pierced through the tree canopy above us, the birds sang their joyful notes, and the soft breeze rustled the leaves. It was a scene right out of a fairytale story.

We walked for what seemed like hours, and finally the woods started to become buildings and houses. People started appearing through the streets, oblivious to the lost girls in the middle of their town. Except for a kid, no older than 12, that saw us right through the crowd. He must have noticed our flustered faces, because he came walking over to us, dragging a woman with cropped black hair behind him.

"Hi, I'm Henry," the boy said once he arrived to where we were. "And this is Mary Margaret," he said pointing to the woman, who smiled subsequently. They seemed nice and, honestly, they were our only help at the moment.

"Hello, do you girls need help?" asked Mary Margaret kindly.

"Hi, I'm Ana and these are my friends, Lilibelle and Nina," I started. "And we're sorry to inconvenience you guys, but we do. We crashed our car right outside the town, and I think we need it to be towed."

"Don't worry!" said Henry nonchalantly, "We'll take you to Emma, she'll know what to do. Right Mary Margaret?"

"Of course. Come this way girls," she said as she started walking to what I thought was downtown. We followed them without hesitation, knowing that this was the best chance we had to get help.

After walking a short while, we got to the sheriff station, where I assumed, Emma was going to be. Henry knocked on the door and we all waited for someone to open the door. After a couple minutes and a few more knocks, it was obvious no one was inside.

"Well girls, it appears that Emma isn't in at the moment. Would you like to go eat something while we wait?" Mary Margaret asked us. As if on cue, my stomach grumbled, answering her question. We all laughed and made our way to Granny's, where we met Granny, the sweet old woman that ran the diner, and Ruby, her granddaughter. We ordered and arranged a hotel room for the night, after some insistence from Henry. Soon enough, afternoon had come, and Mary Margaret and Henry had to leave.

"Thank you so much for your help," I told them with a smile, giving both of them a hug.

"It was no problem at all," said Henry as he got his backpack and the book he carried around.

"What's that you got there?" Nina asked, pointing at the book.

"This? It's a fairytale book," he answered. "I'll show it to you guys some day if you'd like."

"That sounds great Henry," I smiled. "And maybe you could show me where the library is too?"

"Of course!" he said. I ruffled his hair, and he went out running through the door.

"If I find Emma, I'll tell her to come over," Mary Margaret told us as she followed after Henry.

"Thank you!" we called after her just as she slipped through the door.

•A/N: so I decided to change some things of the story. It won't be too different, but I just wanted to add some things and make the chapters longer. Don't forget to comment and vote! Thanks•
