"Well?" I ask Neal.
   "you want some coffee? I need some coffee. lets go" Neal says trying to change the subject.                     "Neal, I have a job to do. so help me out or I take Mayer Mills into custody and call my friends to come get us." I tell him.  
   "ok but, it's best over coffee. come on let's go to granny's."
    So we go to granny's. its a small diner in a small town. we sit at a table. "what can I get you? Neal who's this?" A brown haired girl asks us.
    "Red this is Emma, Emma this is Red." Neal says.
   "hi it's nice to meet you." I said. "can I get a chocolate milk?"
    "sure thing kid. and you?" She asks Neal.
    "I'll take a coffee."
   After Red brought us our drinks Neal starts. "this maybe hard to believe, but every thing I'm about to tell you is true and you'll have to trust me. You've gone out on a limb and trusted me before can you do it again?"
   "I'll try." I reply.
   "good. everyone in this town is a story book character from fairy tales. like Snow White and Prince Charming. we where all cursed and brought to this town by the evil queen to get her revenge on Snow White. Well I came here before... but anyway there is a book about it. it belongs to my son.."
   "Wait! you have a son?" I ask.
   "remember that girl Emma I told you about when I first met you?" I nod how could I forget she had the same name as me. "well its our kid. long story I'll explain later" at that time a young boy walks in. he's really Handsome and I can't help but smile. "ah Henry! this is my son Henry." Neal says to me.
   "hi" I get out. really 'hi' that was the best I could do?
    "did you bring the book?" Neal asks him.     "yes, I have it right here. Moms looking for you I'll stay here and answer any questions she has." Henry says. Neal smiles and walks off.
   "So you know my dad?" Henry asks me.    "yes... how did you know? I just got here." "news travels fast in storybrooke."
   "oh. so this is the book Neal was talking about? wow its so big!" I start to flip through the pages. and then I see it. Baelfire 'bae' he was in this book! "who's story is this? if everyone in thus town is someone in this book who is he?" I ask.
   "that's Neal. that's my dad. Why?"
   "Oh, um I was just wondering because... I wanted to see if you knew who everyone was. who's this? his father?"
   "yep, that's mr. gold. He runs the antique shop here." Henry tells me.
    We go over the book for several hours. then 'the evil queen' aka Henry's mom aka Regina walks in to get Henry for dinner. I take my chance and head straight for the antique shop. mr. gold is the man rumple from my dreams. maybe he can tell me about Daniella.
   "Mr. Gold?" I say walking into the store. an old man with long gray hair and a slight limp walks out from behind a curtain.
   "Daniella?" he mutters and then says "hello dearie. what can I help you find?"
"I heard you, you called me Daniella! who is she? why do I keep dreaming about her? and how do you know her?"
   "I'm sorry dearie, I don't know what your talking about." he tells me. he has an ascent that makes the 'dearie fit in perfectly.
   "yes you do. I keep dreaming about a girl named Daniella, a boy named Baelfire, and you but Daniella calls you rumple. it... it feels like a memory more then a dream."
   Mr. Gold starts muttering. I can make out a few word he's saying. "how does she remember? .... everyone forgot." things like that and he walks out the door.
   I'm left standing there with more questions then answers. what did he mean everyone forgot? there was one explanation. mom she had to have something to do with it. I have to ask her.
   I walk outside and look up at the sky. "Mom I know you can hear me!" I shout. "I need answers. please come."
   "do you need help Emma?" Neal had walked up behind me with a blonde haired girl and a brown haired blue eyes that you could get lost in for days, wait what?, hook handed man.
   "And I thought you would think I was crazy saying we where all book characters." he continues.
   "um, you heard that?" I stammer.
   "yeah. I'm Emma Swan. this is..."
   "Let me guess Captain Hook?" I say with a laugh.
   "yes. you've heard of me?" the beautiful blue eyes man says.
   "yeah, everyone who had a good childhood has." I say trying to hold in my laughter. of course he was Captain Hook everyone here was some one. "so your Captain Hook, your Baelfire, Henry told me, who are you?" I ask Emma Swan.
   "Emma, Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter." she tells me.
   "oh wow! your there kid? can I meet them they are like my all time favorite fairy tale characters." I ask.
   "yeah they pretty much run this town." Emma tells me.
   "So why where you yelling at the sky?" Neal asks me.
   "remember my mom I hate so much? yeah well turns out she's an Asgard goddess. goddess of children and 'tomboys' hints how I act." I tell him.
   "oh, wow your mom is a goddess? so your like a demigod. can you get into camp half blood?" Neal asks teasingly. I smirk. he was the first one to tell me about Percy Jackson, the one who started me on my crazy reading journey.
   At that moment my mom comes down in a flash of light. she smiles at me and says, "darling, its been so long. I never thought you would call me. you, well I know you don't really like me, that's understandable. what do you need?"
   "who are these people? Baelfire and rumple? those weren't just dreams obviously. who are they? and most importantly who is Daniella?" I ask.
   "I'm sorry sweetheart, I can't tell you these things you want to know. king Odin forbids it. but I promise one day everything will be clear. know these lovely people of this town are your friends. trust them. I know you went on a limb when you where young and trusted Neal, do the same for everyone else in the town for they will help you find the answered you are looking for. I know it's hard for you right now, but one day it will all be clear. I love you Emma, I know it will take a lot for you to get back to trusting me. but I care." she tells me and then looks up to the sky and vanishes the way she came. a stream of light.
    "Well thanks for the help, mother!" I scream at the sky angrily.
