Twists of Fate

Chapter 20

Allison's POV

"Humor me."

Emma didn't look very convinced. What the hell happened in my family and what about all those secrets? I need to find out. She has to tell me. I'm curious and I feel like I have a right to know. It's my family after all.

"Okay. Alright I'll tell you. Everything. Please don't lock me up in an asylum as soon as you heard the story. It's insane. Believe me."

I nodded and put a hand on her shoulder, assuring her, that I'd never let her go to an asylum. I trust her, so no matter what she'll say, I'll believe it. She wouldn't lie to me. Why should she?

"Our parents are originally from another realm?"

"Realm? You mean country, don't you?"

"No, I mean realm. They are from the...Enchanted Forest."

She looked at me worried. That can't be true. There's nothing like an Enchanted Forest. She's probably kidding, isn't she? I mean she didn't sound like she was being serious anyway. She made weird grimaces while she said 'Enchanted Forest.'

"When our mum was 10, she told a secret since she has a problem with keeping things to herself. Usually."

She sounded angry at that. She won't forgive our parents that easily for keeping my existence for themselves, I think. She's still mad.

"She told Regina's mother Cora, that her daughter wasn't in love with our grandfather, but with a stable boy, Daniel. Cora pretended to be okay with that for Snow, but then she killed Regina's first love and Regina ended up hating our mum for that. She blames her for Daniels death."

Wait! That woman Cora just killed someone and got away with it? What the hell?! It's probably a metaphor. It can't be true now, can it?

"So Regina grew full of hatred and darkness and made her life's only goal to get revenge on out mother. Snow White."

I looked at Emma with an expression that said 'Are you kidding me?'

"Snow White? Seriously?"

"Yeah. Our parents are Snow White and Prince Charming. We're princesses."

This must all be a metaphor. It isn't possible otherwise.

"One day Regina cast a curse on the whole kingdom as revenge. The curse all brought them to a small town called Storybrooke. It's in Maine. In that Place all the fairytale character didn't remember who they are and they lived as new people. Their happy endings were taken from them."

"Until one day the curse was broken...by me since I'm the Savior."

Savior? Seriously?

"Emma...please tell me all this is a metaphor. It can't be true. That's all not possible."

"Believe me I thought the same when I first came to Storybrooke, but it's true. Fairytales are real."

I just looked at with a weird expression. I am so confused right now. How can she actually believe all this?

"HENRY! GET IN HERE WITH YOUR BOOK!" Emma shouted, so that Henry could hear her in the living room.

He arrived just seconds later.

"Why do you need my book?"

"I need to show it to your aunt since she doesn't believe me."

"Now you know how I felt when you didn't believe me. It was frustrating."

"I know. I'm sorry, kid. But still you never gave up."

"No. You don't give up on your family and you were the only person I had at that time since I didn't consider Regina my mum. Now I have far too much family, if you ask me."

I chuckle and then turn to Allison.

"Everyone in Storybrooke is kinda related to everyone. It's very confusing and crazy."

"Wait! This Storybrooke actually exists?"

"Yes. Everything I just told you was true. I know it's crazy and overwhelming, but you have to believe me."

"Mum, why don't you show her your magic. It should make her believe."

Magic? My sister has magic? They are even more insane than i thought.

"But we're in the land without magic."

"That didn't matter in New York, so it shouldn't here."

"You're right, kid."

Emma then held out her hand and looked at it before closing her eyes and focusing.

A few seconds later she had a little swan made out of glass in her hand.

How the hell did that happen? There must be a logical explanation. Magic doesn't exist.

"How the hell did you do that? Is it some weird trick magicians use?"

"No. It's actual magic. I have it and you should too since we're both the product of True Love."

Product of true love? Nothing she says makes sense. It all sounds so weird and crazy and ... I don't know. Impossible.

"Do you believe in magic now?"

"No. I don't."

"Well then I guess you should come to Storybrooke with us. You'll see it's real there. Will you come back home with us? You could meet our parents and I even have a guest room in my house, so you wouldn't have to sleep at Granny's."

I might not believe her whole magic thing, but I do wanna get to know her and spend more time with her.

She may seem a little crazy, but also very kind and special. I already love her even though I just met her. She's my twin after all.

"I don't believe you nor can I promise that I ever will, but visiting your home sounds nice. I'd love to come with you."

She smiled at me and hugged me tight.
