After Mr and Mrs Robinson found baby Katherine on the streets, they brought her to Orphanage A New Home.
"You found her on the streets?" asked Ms Anderson, the owner of the orphanage.
"Yes. We were driving back home and she just lied there on the street" explained Mr Robinson.
"Well, it's good you brought her to me. We're gonna take good care of her" Ms Anderson told her.
Mrs Robinson smiled, "I'm glad"
She handed the basket to Ms Anderson. "Before you leave, does she have a name?" She asked.
Mrs Robinson shook her head, "no, not that we know"
Mr Anderson smiled, "I suppose I have to give her a name than"
"Do you have one in mind?" asked Mr Robinson.
She looked at the baby, "Elena"

Elena grew up as a sweet, smart and loving little girl. It was therefore not long, before she got adopted by a nice couple.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Gilbert. You here to pick up Elena?" Asked Ms Anderson.
The couple nodded, "yes, we are"
A little girl, around 7 years old, walked up to the couple with her suitcase, "I'm ready"
*
She was Elena Gilbert now. She always wanted to be part of a family. For the first time in her life, she was happy.
But it didn't last long...
A few weeks later, in the middle of the night, a fire started in there house. Her parents woke her up.
"Get up sweaty, we have to get out" said her father.
Elena rubbed her eyes, "what's happening?"
"The house is on fire" he told her. They both grabbed her hand and headed to the stairs.
Elena coughed, "daddy, I'm scared"
"Don't worry sweaty, the firefighters are on there way. we're gonna get you out of here" he told her.
Everything downstairs was on fire. Both doors were unreachable, surround by fire. They ran upstairs to the bathroom window. Unfortunately, The window was only big enough to fit Elena.
"Elena, hunny, you have climb out of the window and jump" her mother told her.
Elena breathed heavily and cried "I can't mommy, I'm scared"
"Hunny, you have to. I promise everything will be fine" said her father.
She sniffed, "promise?"
He wiped out her tears, "promise"
He lifted her up to the window. She looked down and saw lots of firefighters standing there with a mattress. She jumped and landed safely.
"My parents are still up there" she told them.
"Don't worry kid, we'll do anything to save them" one of them said.
The firefighters did everything to save Elena's parents, but it was to late. That night, her parents died.
The ambulance people brought her to the hospital, since she had inhaled a lot of smoke. Luckily, everything was fine.
She was now at the police station, waiting to be questioned.
A policeman came and sat down the opposite of her, "are you alright?"
She said nothing.
"Can you tell me your name?" He asked.
She said nothing.
"Look kid, I'm just trying to help you. But that won't work if you don't help me"
She said nothing for a while. Then, she looked up, "Elena"
"Do you have a last name Elena?" He asked.
She took a moment, "Gilbert...Elena Gilbert"

Storybrooke
Elena
I walked through an endlessly dark room. I was all alone and surrounded by darkness. Suddenly, I heard a voice calling me, "Elena"
I stood still and whispered, "Who is there?"
"Elena" I heard again. I slowly walked towards the voice. Suddenly, the room caught on fire.
"Elena, help us" I heard. I looked through the flames and saw...my parents, surrounded by flames.
I ran to them, "Mom! Dad!"
"Help us, Elena" they said.
"I'm coming mom and dad!" I yelled, but before I could reach them the fire burned them, alive.
I gasped and woke up. I sweated like crazy and breathed heavily. Emma woke up next to me, "El, are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah, just a bad dream" I replied. "Do you wanna talk about it?" Asked Emma.
I turned my back to her and said nothing. "Okay, but if you wanna talk, I'm here" she said.
I closed my eyes and saw my parents. They smiled at me. I smiled back.
