Karma

Chapter 1

"That's Aldon. He's a jerk."

The whole school knew him. Aldon, the school's worst bully. He had his posse of friends, five other boys that helped torment the younger boys. Seeing the Mayor's kid, Henry, he quickened his step to catch up to him. His friends hung back, not wanting to get involved with this one. Only one boy, Lyall, followed him. He was Aldon's only true friend. "Hey! Henry! Where do you think you're going?!" Aldon sneered. Henry kept walking. Just a little further, and his newly found bio-mom Emma. Who was also the new Sheriff. "Aldon, stop, it's not worth it. You know your dad'll practically kill you if you get taken to the station." Lyall pointed out, stopping Aldon.

Aldon kept watching Henry. Henry was relieved when he made it to Emma without Aldon catching him. "Hey Henry, who's that?" Asked Emma when she spotted the older boy at the other side of the street. Henry immediately frowned. "That's Aldon. He's the school bully and a jerk! I see him sitting in front of the Headmaster's office each day." Emma raised her eyebrows. Boys like this Aldon could be trouble, but she knew that there were always two ways of telling a story.

Aldon parted ways with his friends and headed home to face his own bully - his father. He hoped he could get to his bedroom without being seen. He was so close, just a few more steps..."ALDON! Get your a$$ in here! Now!" His father boomed. Aldon ran back down and into the kitchen where his mother and father were waiting. His father had something in his hand. "Your report card came in..." His mother started. "You're failing again you useless boy?! Are you f!cking kidding me?!" His father yelled. "Math is hard. And English is boring." Aldon muttered under his breath. His father slapped him upside the head. "Useless, worthless boy!" He yelled in his face. He looked at his mother. He didn't expect her to stand up for him, but he could hope. His mother just shook her head. Sighing, he walked past his parents, getting slapped upside his head again, then ran up the stairs and into his room.

He threw his school bag on the floor near the foot of his bed, took out his cell phone, and proceeded to climb out the window. His father would never let him leave the house with the grades he was getting. He was grounded, but he wouldn't let that stop him. Once he got onto the ground, he ran across the lawn and made it out the gate. His father saw, he would deal with him later. Aldon walked through the town looking through windows of shops until he got to Mr. Gold's pawn shop. He walked in and looked around. This was his favourite shop in the whole town. Why wouldn't it be? It was, after all, a shop full of magic. Although no one in town knew that. As he was looking around he found a pan-flute. He picked it up and started examining it. "Do you have money to pay for that?" Mr. Gold came up behind him.

"Nope." He said casually and kept looking at it. "Then get lost, boy." He snapped and snatched the flute from him. "Awe come on, I'm just lookin'!" He laughed. Mr. Gold grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him out of the store. Just his luck, Mayor Mills happened to be walking by. "Is this one bothering you?" She asked. Mr. Gold pushed him out the door. He was still laughing. "I'm not doin nothin' wrong." "Let's go, I'm taking you back to your parents. My son told me you've been giving him issues?" Regina said. "Awe come on, don't drag my parents into this. It ain't necessary." He argued as she dragged him by his arm back to his house. Regina Mills was the only one who knew the truth about StoryBrooke.

Everyone there was from The Enchanted Forest and they were fairy tales. Aldon, his real name was Peter Pan. Regina hadn't intended for him to be part of the curse, he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. But since he was part of the curse, Regina decided to have a little fun. Aldon was an insult to Pan. It meant old. Not that he actually knew that. No one in town had any memories of their fairytale life except Regina. She was the queen."My son said you've been giving her issues." She repeated. "So I pushed him around a bit, so what? You don't need to get my parents into this." He argued. "I could talk to your parents about this or I could let the sheriff deal with you."
