Chapter 29 - Storybrooke

I had always been the weird girl in Storybrooke. I kept to myself, not because the other people my age did not like me, but because I did not like them. I felt more freespirited than them. I needed real freedom. Which was why I didn't go to school, but had a work in the local pet shelter instead. I always felt out of place, like this wasn't where I belonged. I felt like I had to go somewhere, because someone, somewhere needed me. But I had no idea where that thought came from. 

I lived alone in a little hut in the forest close to the town. I felt more at ease when the trees were all around me. I always wore long sleeved shirts, because I didn't like people seeing my scar, which said "Peter Pan", and gloves, because nor did I like that people could see my paw prints. 

Each day I trained. I ran 15 kilometers every second day and the other days I just worked out. Other than that I helped in the local fight club every now and then, where they did a little bit of every kind of fight, even self defense classes. 

I worked for dr. Thatcher, he was a nice man, and he told me several times that I was a natural with the animals. David also worked with us for some time. He was also really nice, but he seemed to have some problems at home, which I didn't pry in.

I was walking home after work and had to buy some groceries. I then walked past the school on my way home, when this kid started talking to me,

"Aren't you that girl, who always wear gloves and long sleeves?" He said.

"Yeah, why?" I answered.

"Then I think I know who you are" He said, suddenly very enthusiastic.

"You already guessed who I am" I said. I started walking again, but he just followed me. 

"No, I mean who you really are. You are in my book, and I know why you always wear that" He said half pointing at my shirt and gloves. I raised one of my eyebrows, thinking i'd just see where this was going and then find out what to do then.

"Okay, so who am I?" I asked. I stopped walking and turned to him, to which he did the same.

"If, we go somewhere more privat I can show you" Now this kid really caught my interest. So i agreed, and we went to my place in the woods.

"Here this is my book" He said, putting a storybook on the table. I had learned that his name was Henry and he was the mayors son. "Everyone in this town is in the book, as one of the characters. For example the mayor is the Evil Queen in Snow White and Mary Margeret, my teacher, is Snow White herself." He explained, I was slowly starting to think that this kid was mad.

"So if everyone is in the book, then who am I" I said, probably sounding very skeptical. He then started to go through the book, seemingly looking for a certain page. When he found it, he turned the book so I could see.

"I am right when I say that this is what you are hiding?" He said pointing to the girl on the picture. She sat beside a hot boy who had apparently just cut the the words "Peter Pan" into her right forearm. On her other arm there were some paw print running from the back of her hand and a little up her arm. All in all the girl looked exactly like me, except the word were freshly cut and there were blisters and blood all over. "So do you believe me?" he said. I still really did not know what to believe.

"You never said who I was..." I said, not answering his question.

"Your name is Katherine, and you are Peter Pans true love" He said "So do you believe me?"

"Well... I... Look this is a lot to ..." But he never let me finish

"Can I see the scars?" He asked. I shrugged, he already knew about it, so why not. I then took of the gloves and pushed my sleeves up to my elbow, shoving of both the scars and the paw prints. He looked amazed.

"Will you do me a favor?" He asked, still looking at the scars.

"Depends on what it is, Henry" I said, looking curiously at him.

"I want to prove to my people, that this is real, and you and this" he said motioning at my arms. "could be that proof"He finished looking very excited.

"Look, Henry, I'm sorry, but I am already the freak of this town, no one would really believe me and it just doesn't really help that I don't really either, this is too much right now. I'm sorry." I said. He left quickly after that, looking more sad than ever, but determined, like he knew now what he had to do.

A/N

Short chapter I know, but I felt like the ending of the chapter had to be here, or else I was taking from the upcoming chapter.
