Nine Lives

Life Five

Charlie's eyes opened again and she let out a soft sigh before looking down down her shirt to see a scare from where she had been stabbed but other then that there was no signs she was hurt. She had been really hoping that the knife would have worked. Although one good thing did come from her last life, Charlie was now sure that she was cursed. Although Charlie wish she knew more about it.

Finally Charlie looked around and noticed she was laying in what seemed like the middle of a forest. There were so many different fandoms that she knew of that took place in a forest so it didn't help her at all. However one thing was different then her last few lives, this time she was wearing different clothes. When she had died in Lucifer she was wearing the scrubs she had found in the hospital but now she was wearing black leather pants and a baby blue blouse.

"Strange" Charlie whispered to herself as she stood up and looked around the area, hoping to find some kind of land mark. When she couldn't find anything she started heading east in hope of running into anything.

After about an hour of wondering around the woods and cursing this worlds choice of clothing, Charlie came to a hill and could see a town. It took her a moment to realize where she was then smiled slightly as she finally realized.

"Storybrooke" Charlie smiled. Once upon a time was always the one show that if she could choose to live in she would. Maybe this curse wasn't all bad. Maybe this time she could finally choose to stay here. It shouldn't be to hard to survive this world. After looking at the town for a bit more she started walking again. The walk down took her another half hour but she finally reached the town. Looking around she tried to think of what the time line could be. Honestly she could just go up to a character and say their real name but that would only give her the time line of it being before or after the curse. As she walked towards granny's she checked her pockets and thankfully found a wallet with plenty of money. That made her wonder if she had taken over a life of someone in town. But seeing the ID in the wallet changed her mind. It was hers, except for the fact that it was a storybrooke ID and not a North Dakota one. Was she a fairytale character? If so she wondered who she could be.

As the ginger walked through the main street, a shop caught her eyes. Mr. Golds Pawn shop. Maybe that would be a great place to start looking for answers. If anyone could tell her about her curse it would be Rumplestilkin. Charlie turned and walked straight for the Pawn shop. A soft bell dinged as she opened and closed the door of the shop. It looked just like the show had it.

"Can I help you?" A voice made Charlie look up. It was Mr Gold.

"Um maybe..hopefully" Charlie smiled slightly as she walked over to the counter he was standing behind. "I was hoping you could help me with a curse I have"

"A curse?" Mr Gold asked making Charlie frown a bit. Was it before the curse had been broken? "What kind of curse?"

"So the curse here has been broken" Charlie sighed happily knowing he might be able to help her no matter the price. She ignored the slightly confused look that Rumplestilkin had given her and spoke "I've died four times and every time I wake up I'm in a new world"

"I'm sorry?" Rumplestilkin questioned looking at her strangely. "Your saying you've died? Several times?"

"Yes. Four to be exacted" Charlie looked down at the glass case before looking back up at him. "Have you heard of any type of curse?"

"I don't believe I've come acrossed anything like it before" Rumplestilkin told her making her sigh and put her head against the glass. "Please don't do that" he told her and rolled his eyes slightly. "How did you die? Every time."

"The first time I jumped off a bridge and drowned. The second time I was hit by a car. The third time I am guessing the fireball to the stomach is what killed me and the last time I was stabbed with a demon knife. I was really hoping that one would end this curse but it didn't and I woke up in the woods in these weird clothes might I add. I also have a Storybrooke ID which is strange like very strange. In the lives before I didn't belong there, I was weirdly placed and I didn't belong but here I have money and I'm guessing I'm someone. Why is here different?"

"I don't know Dearie" Rumplestilkin said and Charlie could tell that he was confused and he didn't like it.

"Whatever your price I'll pay it if you find me the answer to my curse and help me break it" Charlie said knowing how wrong it was to deal with Rumplestilkin but she was desperate.

"Have you tried true loves kiss?" He asked smiling ever so slightly.

"I don't have a 'true love' so there goes that theory." Charlie rolled her eyes and pushed off the glass. "I'm going to be staying at Granny's until I find out if I'm actually someone or until I die either way that's where you can find me" She sighed and left the shop.

If the dark one couldn't help her with this curse then she was stuck with it. The only problem is, how many lives did she have?
