Once Upon A Time: Second Chances

Memories

Storybrooke

"So," Emma said as Violet-Marie came down the next morning. "Is it alright with you if I take you to Regina's office? We want to try, er, show you something." Violet-Marie shrugged. "Sure." After breakfast, (Emma and Killian suggested anything BUT pancakes) Violet-Marie and Emma headed over to Regina's office in the town hall. "Hey." Violet-Marie said to Snow and Regina when she saw them. Snow smiled and Regina, well, Regina was all business and rushed everyone inside. "Violet-Marie, this is my son Henry, my dad David, my brother Neal, and Regina's sister Zelena. Killian and Hope will be joining us soon." Violet-Marie waved to everyone. "Hey." Henry came up to Violet-Marie. "Um, can we try something?" he asked, quietly. "Sure." Violet-Marie replied, sitting on top of Regina's desk, smirking at how hard Regina was trying to stay quiet. "What's up?" Henry hurried over to his bag. He pulled two old storybooks out of his bag, he then hurried back towards Violet-Marie. "Can you just look through these and tell me if you've seen these before?" Violet-Marie nodded, perplexed. 

She took hold of the first boook and just began flipping through. "Snow White? Really? Are these just all old stories?" she asked. "Uhm, not really." Emma replied. Violet-Marie kept looking through, switching between the two. To everyone else in the room, Violet-Marie was just being quiet because she was looking through them. To Violet-Marie though, memories were bombarding her head. Flashes of the Forgotten Realms, faces, experiences, magic, everything. Her head shot up, startled by her revelations. "Is everything alright?" Snow asked. "Y-yeah." Violet-Marie replied. "Hey," she said, hopping off the desk and slamming the books closed. "I saw a library on the way here, do you mind if I go check it out?" Everyone was slightly saddened at that. "Yeah, sure." Emma said with a sigh. "What's wrong?" Violet-Marie asked. "It's nothing. It's just that the former librarian died, and she was a close friend to all of us." "Oh, Belle?" Violet-Marie asked. "Yeah!" Emma said, surprised. "How did you know?" Dang it! Violet-Marie thought. "Oh, she was mentioned in the books." she said vaguely. "Speaking of the books," Henry said. "Did you recognize anything?" Violet-Marie shook her head. "No, sorry. Was I supposed to?" Regina shook her head. "No." "O-okay. Well, bye!" Violet-Marie said, walking out of the room. 

After Violet-Marie had left, Regina turned to the rest of the group. "Any thoughts?" "Well, she is obviously not one of us." Zelena said, flipping her hair. "Well, she has to be!" David said. "How else is she going to break the curse?" "Are we sure it's her?" Snow asked from the corner. "It has to be." Henry said. "I for one, think she's lying." "Who's lying?" Killian asked, walking into the room. "Violet-Marie." Henry replied. "Why do you say that?" Emma asked. "Because," Henry said, flipping through his storybooks. "mentioning Belle as the librarian? Yep, not in here. Yes, events from Storybrooke are in here. Like your run as the Dark One, sorry Mom, you too Killian." He said quickly when he saw Emma and Killian wince. "But it never mentions that Belle was the librarian." Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything, but they were all thinking the same thing. Who is this girl?

Soooooooooooooo? How was it??? Any thoughts?? Oh! Happy Hallow's Eve to anyone who celebrates it!!
