Emma was on her way to the first day of her new life in prison, she looked down at herself, all she was wearing was an orange jumpsuit, she sighed how could she have been so stupid into letting Neal trick her like that. she was somehow stupid enough to believe him when he promised that they would run away to Tallahassee together and live some sort of fairy tale life, but of course fairy tales arent real and instead he had let her take the fall for him and now she was on the way to prison in some sort of prison van, where the driver was also a prisoner, for some reason that didn't seem like the safest plan to Emma.  The van stopped and she got out of the van taking her first look at her new home for the next six months. Litchfield women's prison. 

"This way I'll show you to your bunk" a small brunette said in a thick New York accent, she was like something that had just walked out from the West Side Story set, her bright red lipstick glinting in the sunlight shining down on them, bit ironic. Emma followed her without question, she was just going to keep her head down, stay out of everyone's way and hope she gets let out early for good behaviour, how hard could it be? "I'm Morello by the way" The small brunette said again, Emma smiled. 

"I'm Emma" She said quietly, still following the brunette through the prison which was a lot bigger than she had expected. Morello smiled at her sadly. 

"Honey we go by last names here" She said as they came to a stop outside what Emma would be calling her new bedroom. 

"Oh, right yeah sorry I'm Swan" Emma mumbled feeling like an idiot, how was she ever going to survive prison when she couldn't even say her name without doing it wrong.Emma walked over to the bed and stood beside it, inspecting it carefully. 

"Come on its dinner, I'll introduce you to some people" Morello said walking away, so much for keeping myself to myself Emma thought, well if they were all as nice as Morello she had nothing to worry about having people to back her up in a place like this may not be a bad idea after all.  Morello entered the cafeteria and walked over to a group of ladies sitting at a table in mid conversation, Emma stayed close behind her the whole way not wanting to loose track of her. Morello sat down and motioned to Emma to do the same, she obliged. "Guys this is Swan, Swan this is Nickles, Red, Chapman and Vause" Morello motioned to the other woman sitting round the table, Emma just smiled at them saying hi under her breath to each one. 

"So what are you in for?" Chapman asked curiously, to the average person Emma looked nothing like a criminal, she didn't have any tattoos or anything at all that could resemble any kind of criminal activity but here she was in prison. 

"Theft" Emma said just loud enough for the other members of the group to hear, They all fell silent again, no one really knowing what to say. Suddenly the silence was broken yet again by Morello who stood up from where she was once sitting. 

"Swan I'll show you the way back to your bunk in ready for count" She said before waling away, Emma stood up obediently and followed her out of the dining room, as she rounded the corner she tripped over one of her laces that must have come undone and fell head first onto another prisoner, taking them both to the ground with a loud bang. 

"Get of me you stupid bitch" Emma heard a voice from underneath her yell, she looked down and saw angry, chocolate brown eyes staring back at her. Emma scrambled as fast as she could off of the other woman and stood up hurriedly. 

"I'm so sorry" Emma said apologetically, how could she screw up so badly already and she hadn't even been here for a full day yet. The other woman stood up with a grunt and lunged for Emma landing a powerful punch to the side of her face sending Emma back down to the floor. 

"You come near me again and I'll have your head on a spike, bitch" The brown eyed woman said before storming off down the dimly lit hallway. Emma stood up slowly holding her cheek in pain, Morello walked towards her with a sad smile in her eyes, not unlike the one from earlier. 

"Thats Mills, she hates everyone so i wouldn't worry about it" Emma nodded as she began to follow Morello back towards her bunk, "Just through their Swan, try not to cry and you'll be fine" Morello said giving Emma a pat on the back before walking away. Emma walked over to her bunk and sat on the bed, groaning in pain it was her first day and she already had a enemy, at least it couldn't get any worse. 

"what the fuck are you doing here" Mills said, Emma hadn't even noticed but she was currently sitting in the other bunk in the 'bedroom'. 

"This is my bunk" Emma said nervously

"No this is my bunk" Mills corrected, they were both stunned into silence when they finally both realised that this was 'their bunk'.
