Life As a Lost Girl {Editing}

Chapter 1

OUAT FANFIC

When the town clock struck noon, I ran to the harbor to await my father's ship.When it came a minute later, but he didn't get off, I was shocked. Other people came off, but he didn't. It was his ship, but he wasn't on it. I waited an hour longer but he never came off. I decided to go check it out to see if he was sleeping or something.

On the deck, there was a boy about my age sitting at the wheel, holding a book. A book very similar to mine. I walked over to him and spoke, which made him jump. "Whatcha got there?" I asked, sitting next to him.

"Oh, just an old book." He stuck out his hand, "Hi, I'm Henry."

I shook his hand and introduced myself as well. "I'm Lexi. Nice to meet you. Hey, I've got a book just like that," I said, pulling my book out of my bag and showing it to him. He gasped and compared the books.

"Yours is the sequel to mine!" He exclaimed after a minute of examining the books.

I looked back and forth from the two books, realizing he was right. "Wow... Didn't know that there was a beginning to all this trouble, or a written one, at least." He laughed a little bit.

"What fairytale are you from?" He asked, looking at me.

"Oh.... I'm not exactly in a fairytale, but I'm in the book, just a little bit though."

He nodded. "I'm not a fairytale either."

I was confused. "Then who are you?"

"I'm Neal and Emma's son."

I gasped. "You mean..."

"Yep. My mom's the savior." He smiled.

"Henry?" a voice yelled from on the dock.

"Coming! C'mon Lexi. I want you to meet my family." He helped me up and I followed him off the ship. Standing in front of us was Prince Charming, Princess Snow, Emma and the man Henry called 'Neal.' I stood as stiff as a tree when Henry stopped. "I want you guys to meet Lexi. She's got the sequel to our book." Henry explained.

"Nice to meet ya kid." Emma said, holding out her hand. I shook it and let mine drop. Snow and Charming gave me a smile and I smiled back.

"You said you have a second book?" Snow asked.

I nodded and pulled it out. "It's got a little bit of what went on in the other kingdoms and in Neverland when the curse took over." I added, showing them the book.

"Are you in here? Any family of yours?" Charming asked.

I nodded slightly. "Just a little though.... I'm a Lost Girl. If you know the story of Peter Pan, you would know who I am then."

"Peter Pan!?" Snow asked, looking at me. I noddedy solemnly.

Emma looked at me curiously. "So who's your parents, kid?"

I looked at my feet and without looking up, I spoke. "My father is Captain Hook, my mother... My mother she-she died a couple years after I was born. Funny thing is, I look like my father, but nothing like my mother. And neither of them have the qualities of transforming into a mermaid." I muttered that last part but they all still heard me.

"You're part mermaid! Way cool!" Henry exclaimed.

I smiled a little and looked at him. "Thanks..." Neal was giving me curious looks.

Emma nudged him. "What're you staring at?" she asked him.

"She looks really familiar..." His voice trailed off.
