Alice's P.O.V:

28 years later...

(In the events of OUAT season 2)

28 years is a long time, especially when you haven't aged. My name is Emily Blanchard now and Mary Margret Blanchard is my mother, or so I thought.

Turns out that purple smoke was magic and it brought me here, to a town called Storybrooke. I got wrapped up in The Evil Queens curse and it trapped me in this town without my knowledge.

She took us to a land without magic, where everyone lived their lives not remembering who they are. I quickly learnt that the people of this world believe we are all fairytale characters inside a book.

After years and years of Henry, who is Reginas adoptive son, trying to convince us that magic and stories are real, the curse was finally broken and the clock tower ticked once again, restoring time and memories.

Emma Swan was the one who broke it and she is now known as the saviour to all. She is also Henry's mother, the one who gave birth to him but gave him up for adoption.

Henry managed to find her and bring her back to town, knowing she would be able to break the curse. I've got to say, he's a pretty smart kid.

However, ever since Emma came to this town, there has been an on going war between her and Regina, it's complicated to say the least and things didn't get any better after the curse was broke.

I guess you could say it's been hard to come to grips with the fact that Mary Margret is not actually my mother and that once again, I've been cursed with another life. My brain is so muddled at this point.

But I do wish she were my mother though, so my life could be a simple for once. I wish I didn't have to remember all I'm responsible for and that I don't really have a family because my parents are dead.

It also turns out that Mary Margret is actually Snow White. The famous bandit who married her Prince Charming and spent her life running from the queen.

The curse was meant to torture Snow White as Regina claims she was the reason that her fiancé got murdered but I don't really know about the details.

But what I do know is that she also lost her child because of it. It made me feel bad for her because I knew what it felt like.

We had a lot in common, she lost her child and I lost my parents. But it is hard to put past all of horrible things she's done to others.

That is kind of hypocritical of me to say though, I can understand that something like that is enough to drive anyone evil.

They all believe I'm just a regular insignificant villager from The Enchanted Forest, who lost both of her parents. I haven't told any of them who I really am yet, they don't even know my real name. They all call me Emily.

I couldn't let them know about my past, what would they think? It was safer this way, I didn't want to give them a reason to hate me. But of course that meant that they don't even know I have magic.

If they did, there would be too many questions about where I come from and why I have it. I didn't want to share that information.
