Daughter of the Earth

chapter 3

You know those times where you feel like love will last forever? Like you can conquer the world with just one person there for you? Well let me take you back in time. To the first time I met Killian aka Hook.....

*5 years ago*

I had just turned 19 years old. I was still trying desperately to find the one place I belonged. It's funny how when you walk for days on end your feet just take you to where they think you should be. I however ended up in a place called Storybrooke. How I ended up here is beyond me. 

I was in panther form, I was walking down a road that i assumed was just another backwoods highway. I was walking in a way that i guess you could say a sad way. I was the only one of my kind a girl who felt like she had no purpose and no place to call home. As i continued walking i felt a strange sensation, like a tingling that made my fur stand on end. I was out of my mood in a split second, on high alert the very next second. 

I looked up and was greeted by a wolf with a red cloak beside her, it was a show down in a sense. She stood her ground and snarled loudly at me. I stood taller than her, by about a foot. I lowered my shoulders slightly in a defensive state. I was ready for whatever she was about to give me. I bared my canines and let out a roar that would make an alpha drop. This girl was very adamant though, she continued to stand her ground.

I brought the earth to my call. The trees rumbled and brought there roots forward. I called on the skies to strike lightning right infront of her, the skies rumbled with a fearful pounding. She still did not budge. She kept her dark yellow eyes glued to my bright yellow ones. I moved forward after calming down the earth, at this point we were nose to nose ready for the fight to happen. 

She snarled and snapped at my neck. I quickly ducked out of the way of her teeth. I moved swiftly toward her haunches, she moved in a way we were circling each other menacingly.  Quickly she lunged at me snarling, knocking me to my side. I rolled quickly and got back to my feet, lunging at her with my claws out. I dug them deeply into her haunches, she yelped and dropped to her belly, looking up at me with eyes that a wolf would give to an alpha. I looked at the damage i had done and quickly felt bad, i did not come here to start a war with wolves. I came here by an accident, i just wanted to find a place to belong. This was not the way to do so.

I shifted to my human form and grabbed the red cloth off the ground, i wrapped around her haunches to stop the bleeding. Before i could secure it she shifted into a girl. She was tall, naked, and had black and red hair. Her wounds were already healing quicker than i could tend to them.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were a threat" She said solemnly "I'm Red"

"i apologize for attacking back, I am Ona." I replied quietly

"How did you get through the border?"

"i hone----"

Before i could finish a group of people bounded around the curve and stopped infront of us, my eyes locked with a man who had a hand for a hook. I knew then and there I was in trouble. I felt like the air was sucked out of me. Like my heart stopped. I had never felt a sensation like this before. It felt as if i needed him more than i needed anything in my life before. I knew then and there he was what i needed to have forever. 

*Present day*

I had stayed in Storybrooke for a month, I was in love with Killian and he was in love with me. We were happy together, we depended on eachother equally. It all ended though, I woke up one day after he and Gold had an arguement and he wasnt there. 

All there was was a note that said 'I'm sorry, I can't love you. I can't give you what you want or need'

That was the day my heart was torn from my chest, I remember it like it was yesterday. I left Storybrooke that morning, no goodbyes to Granny or Red. The only two people that i viewed as true family. I left and never turned back, that was how I ended up in Casper, Wyoming. I was broken but the earth and time restored me. Now 5 years later I'm about to walk into the place i wish i never walked into in the first place.

"Ona, you okay?" I looked up to see Rennesmee standing there watching me.

I folded the letter I kept back up and put it back into the tiny locket around my neck "yes lets do this"

I shifted back into a panther at the border of Storybrooke, I took a deep breath and looked back at the four packs behind me that i was leading. They needed me to be strong so I had to be. I walked across the border with everyone following me, we all walked in our shifted forms or human like forms. I saw right away the ice that gloomed over the town, suspending it in a icy tundra. As i walked down main street i was greeted by a group of people, the whole town really.

In the front lines there was Emma, Snow, Charming, Belle, Gold, Regina, Henry, and Red. The only person I truly noticed was at the very edge of the group of people looking at me slightly confused. He looked at me like he might know me, but couldn't quite put his finger on where from. You'd think a girl that could shift into a ginormous black panther might remind someone. I looked back at everyone behind me and nodded. Each one slowly shifted into a human form, jacob leah and seth emerged from behind a building where they shifted. They were the only ones that seemed to shred their clothes before they shifted.

Red looked at me quietly, she took her cloak off and shifted right infront of us. She and I were the only ones in an animal form. I thankfully had taught her how to tune into thoughts last time i was here. 

'Are you sure you can handle this Ona?' she said into my head

I had written her a letter explaining why I left the year after I did. She thankfully understood. 

'I dont know Red but I have to, promise you'll be there if i need you?'

'I always am Ona'

I nodded, she turned to granny and nodded as well. Granny swiftly put the cloak back on Red. Red covered her naked body quickly with it. 

"I've got your back, i'm here for you" she whispered in my ear and kissed my furry cheek.

I glanced at Killian and it seemed as if he might be realizing who I was. His eyes showed slight sadness and anger as he glanced at Gold. I lowered my front paws to the ground as if i was bowing. I let my guard down slowly and slowly I shifted to a human form. I stayed crouched to the ground with my hair covering my face as i composed myself. Thunder rumbled above as i stood up with my head held high, my poker face strong.

Killian's breath caught as he opened his mouth and took as step toward me. 

"Ona----" he started "I----"
