The Docks (a Once Upon A Time Fan Fiction)

Chapter 3

"Dad, Daddy please. papa?" the girl moaned in the hospital bed.

" What's wrong with her?" Snow asked Dr.Whale as she brushed a strand of hair out of her face.

" I'm not sure. All her vitals are looking good and she has no sign of head trama. I've checked everything that could possibly be the cause. I just don't know what it could be. But she should be waking up soon " he replied as David walked back in the room with two coffees one for him and one for Snow. Then the girl slowly opened her eyes. She cautiously looked around and studied Dr.Whales, Snow's, and David's faces each very carefully before a tear slipped down her cheek.

"Oh, No don't cry" Snow said as she rushed over to the hospital bed and tried to take the girls hand only to be pushed away. The girl sat up her short, light brown, choppy hair, that fell about mid neck, was disheveled from the ride in the ambulance.

"Who are you?" she demanded weakly.

" I'm Snow white and this is David and Dr. Whale. What's your name?" the girl glanced around cautiously.

"Cordelia" the girl replied quietly. Snow could tell she was tense and wasn't going to trust anyone easily.

" We'll that's a very pretty name" Snow said trying to make the girl feel comfortable so that when Emma got here she could question the girl to learn who her parents were. Slowly the girls face began to regain some color.

" Thank you. My father named me. It means of the sea. But he usually called me....... Corey" she had to pause to remember.

"Could you tell me who your father is" Snow said as she sat on the edge of the hospital bed. As Corey tried to remember a look of distress crossed her face.

"I know this!! I do ..... I just ... I just can't remember much" she whimpered as tears threatened to pour out.

"It's ok sweetie" Snow said as she tried to comfort the girl. But the all of the sudden Emma burst in to room

" I came as soon as I could . . . . . Whats up- who's she?"

"This is Corey" David said " We found her on the docks and we're trying to find her parents" Corey narrowed her eyes as she studied Emma

"Ok, Well finding people is what I do best. So I'll just ask you a couple questions and we'll see if we can get this little matter sorted out is that ok" Emma asked. Corey nodded "I think it would be best if you left" Emma said to Snow,David, and Dr. Whale. They nodded and left but Snow didn't leave before giving Corey's hand a comforting squeeze. Emma pulled a chair over to the side of Corey's bed. Emma looked At her trying to find resemblance of someone in town. Emma looked in her eyes the girls eyes were ocean blue. They were the bluest she had ever seen . . . . . . or were they. Emma remember seeing someone with eyes that blue but she couldn't remember exactly who. Emma thought long and hard and tried to remember who had those same eyes. Then, it hit her, Hook. She shook it off it couldn't be him. Emma took a deep breathe.

"Can you tell me the last thing you remember"

"I am only remembering bits and pieces." replied Corey her voice shaking. She was clearly upset and overwhelmed but Emma had to find her parents.

"That's ok just tell me what you remember" Emma said in a softer voice than usual.

" Well..........." Corey started " I remember talking to a witch. She called herself........" Corey scrunched her face trying to find the memories. Emma just waited patiently. "CORA... That was her name" Corey said with a faint smile. She was clearly happy she remembered something. But she quickly noticed the look of concern on Emma's face
