Once Upon a time Rockford was the brightest town in England. But this isn't a fairytale anymore, and the existence of light no longer mattered. It became a cold, dark place where even the most sinister of people were scared to leave their houses. There was no source of food or water in this town, yet somehow, someway the families always found a way to stay alive. No longer did the townspeople wear smiles that stretched from ear to ear, and the description of this imaginary pastel yellow color that was brighter than the sun, was only an illusion painted by our grandmothers to help keep us away from the darkness. Permanently, bottles were attached to their lips, depression and narcotics lingered in the midnight sky.

Killian Jones lost his mother at a very young age, and his father was murdered just before her could remember what he looked like. Or so he thought. Both ended up in the bad side of the foster home. Released at age seventeen, both meet each other and instantly become connected in ways no one could imagine. Or so they thought. Over a decade later, they plan a vacation to Maine and end up in a town called Storybrooke. The people are insane, insisting that they're people they couldn't possibly be. Insisting that they returned from the Underworld and must have been given false memories. How can they be Captain Hook and the Savior? After all, they are what they've always been. Orphans.

You had the eyes that held the power to see these creatures. Bright yellowish gold eyes and people were scared of you. They were scared because you were above all of them. Your parents owned this old fashioned city. It was a village the size of a city and it had some modern technology mixed with no technology. You had no friends for for so long and people always bullied you probably because they were scared of you. They didn't know of the magical side of the land.

Everything was normal one day, people treating you like trash and you running crying to your mom. But your parents had gotten you something that they know nothing about or take care of but they put the responsibility in your 10 year old hands.Complete
