It's been a year since Pearl's arrival in StoryBrooke. Ever since the curse was placed upon, Pearl has been living a lie. Thinking like everyone else, they were just stories, fairy tales, a myth. Even though how much she believed in them, it would...
Morning continued as usual. Emma won't tell either me or Henry who the person was at the door this morning. She just said it was some creepy guy.I don't want to know who or what that guy wants. I got ready for school as usual. Since it's starting to get cold in New York, I changed into something that would keep me warm.

I lost my choker when I left Virginia, mum did seem really sad but said it was explainable. I apologized as much as I could, I even said I could replace it but she just told me, "You can't replace that Pearl, it's very important to me-this family."
After hearing those words, they've been making me feel like I should go to jail. I took one more look at my outfit before walking out to find Henry already for school wearing his black coat and his red and grey scarf. Emma was sorting out some papers.
"Henry!" I called to get his attention, "Are you ready to go?"
"Okay mum, we're going now!" Henry grabbed his bag.
"See you later kids!" She gave us a kiss and a hug before leaving the apartment. I had my keys with me just in case I forgot something. We did our usual routine, traveled to the subway train, took our train then first go to Henry's school.
"Okay kid, time to go, I'll pick you up and we'll go grab a burger?" I asked, checking to make sure.
"Sound's like a plan," he smiled. I gave him a hug then let him go join his friends. My school wasn't far from Henry's so I just walked there. I installed my earphones in and listened to whatever was on the radio.
You make me glow,
But I cover up Won't let it show, So I'm...
Puttin' my defenses up 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love If I ever did that I think I'd have a heart attack
I sang to myself. As I reached the front doors on the school, I was greeted by my two best friends, Erica and Jessica.
"Hey guys!"
"Hey Pearl!" They greeted me, giving me a hug.
"Where's Spencer and Lucas?" I asked looking around.
"I don't know, they texted me earlier saying they'll meet us if we go to our lockers," Erica checked her phone again.
"Well let's do what they asked me," Jessica pulled us two into the school. All our lockers were together so we didn't need to meet up at someone's locker.
"Okay! We're here but where the hell are they?" I asked, looking around. Then out of nowhere, Spencer and Lucas come barging into the school halls. They were standing in shopping carts and giving everyone a show.

They always do this, that's why were friends.
"We have arrived!" They announced. The three of us laughed at their arrival. They jumped down when they noticed the noises we made.
"Hey guys!" They greeted us, running towards us.
"Must you always do that?" Erica asked.
"Yep," they answered in union. We walked to our next class to be shown a classroom full of students, but no teacher.
"What the hell?" I asked confused.
"Hey, does anyone know where the teacher is?" I asked a random student.
"No, that's what everyone's confused about!" He said, that's when a man dressed weirdly barged into the class. He was decorated in rings and was wearing a long leather jacket. One hand was wearing a black glove. He scanned room like he was looking for someone.
"Has anyone seen a girl named Pearl Willows?" A British accent broke out, I raised my hand in confusion. He grew a smile that was filled with joy.
"Pearl! There you are!" He welcomed me with opened arms, wrapping them around me. I've never met this person before but he knows my name and smells of rum.
"Get off me!" I ordered, pushing him off, "Look! I don't know who the hell you are but please leave!"
"I-I-It's me! Killian Jones!" He tried to introduce himself, "Also known as Captain Hook!"
"Captain Hook? Like the one from Peter Pan?" I asked like he was joking, " You must be joking!"
"Why the bloody hell would I be joking?" He asked.
"Sir, whoever you are, you need to leave!" Spencer and Lucas grabbed the strange man and pulled him away from me.
"No! Pearl please! You need to listen to me!" He tried to escape their grasped.
"What's going on here?" The principle and vice principle asked at the door. They simply looked at the creep and it was understandable. The two grabbed onto the man and helped pull him away.
"No! Pearl! Everyone in StoryBrooke needs your help!" He tried to explain while being dragged away. "Would TigerLilly want this?"
He was pulled out of the classroom and dragged out of the school, you could hear his voice screaming from down the hall and out the school.
"Pearl! You alright?"
"You okay?"
"Are you hurt?" Voices from left and right asked me.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine" I answered.

School ended as usual, I picked up Henry and walked to our favourite burger place, Patties.
"Henry?" I grabbed his attention as we took our seat, "Did you get visited by some weird creepy today during class?"
"No, why?"
"Nevermind!" I shrugged it off.
What did that guy mean? Why would a town need my help? The name though, StoryBrooke. It seems so familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Also who the hell is TigerLilly? It sounds like that Indian girl from Peter Pan. But why would I need to care about a fairy tale characters wishes?
