________________🔮🔮🔮_________________

In a town called Storybrooke everyone was going all about their daily routine like any other day.

But somewhere in the forest something weird was happening. A portal had opened in the sky, shining bright blue. A scream emerged from in it as a girl fell through the portal. The figure fell harshly onto the ground at which she groaned in pain.

"DAD WHAT THE HELL!!" the girl called out as she now held herself to a big tree to stand up again.

The girl raised an eyebrow when she heard no response of her father. She then looked up at the sky to see that the portal was gone, like it was never there. No trace of it was seen.

"You got to be kidding me!" she shouted, tears welling up.

Her dad abandoned her in the middle of war. She knew there was war because of her. Though she couldn't do anything about the fact she had no control on her magic.

Hope now walked towards the town, having no clue of where she was. The green sign saying "welcome to Storybrooke"

"Storybrooke? What the hell is that kind of name for a fucking kingdom" the witch spoke as she rolled her eyes.

Putting her hands in her coat now, she noticed that she was wearing some weird clothing.

"OKAY what the actual fuck! This is not funny...where is my cool red hood and my bow and arrow?? This is a scam"

As her eyes now went to her legs she noticed she wasn't wearing any skirt.

"WHAT THE HELL AM I WEARING!!" she shrieked out.

Pannicked she went with hands over the jeans, not being used to wearing those. She then felt something on the top of it and as she dug her hand in the pocket she felt some paper.

"So my dad abandoned me in a weird ass kingdom, leaving me in weird clothing and WITH JUST A SIMPLE NOTE." she shook her head frustrated as she folded the note open to read it.

Dear Hope,

Sweetheart I know this is scary, but I want you to know that I didn't just send you to a random place. And no this isn't a weird kingdom. It's a town. You are in another world now. A world where your mother put lots of people in a town. The adress of her is written on the backside. I love you so much my sweet innocent witch. Be safe and try not to cause any trouble

-Your father

Tears fell onto the note after Hope finished reading it. With her thumb she wiped them away and looked at the adress at the backside.

"You could have come with me..." she mumbled, her voice shaking a tiny bit.

※※※※※※※※※※Time Skip※※※※※※※※※※※

After what seemed like forever Hope finally arrived at the big white mansion of the mayor. She saw on the sign it was the house of a mayor.

"What the hell is a mayor" she scoffed as she then knocked onto the big door, waiting for someone to open up.

After some time the door finally opened at which the girl sighted.

"Finally took you some time" she spoke, looking at the female who now looked at her as she tightened her lips.

"And who would you be?" she asked.

"You're Regina Mills right?"

"Yes and who is asking tha-"

"I'm your daughter" the witch interrupted as she then just walked inside the house without any invitation.

"Excuse me, what? And you can't just walk in here. Especially in the Mayor her mansion!"

Hope turned around as she had picked up a frame of a picure with the woman on it and a boy.

"What the fuck is a mayor even? And who the fuck is this" she said, showing the picture.

Regina closed the door as she sighted and looked at the brunette who just walked in.

"You're Hope...aren't you?" she asked, regonicing now her daughter her eyes.

"Wow. You remembered my name"

"Ofcourse I did...I named you"

"Hmm...so who is this?" Hope asked again pointing at the boy in the picture.

"Henry Mills....my son"

Hope laughed at that, shaking her head.

"Woah. So you replaced me?...you abandoned me and then got him?"

"Hope look...I know I never was there but I didn't know if this was safe for you"

"You have a SON. I think you knew for quite a while it could be safe for me!"

"Do not raise your tone. I am still your mother and you barged in here without any invitation."

"....fine...I'm sorry...I just...why...why could you get a son but just...abandon me...was I not good enough? Was it already known I was a monster?" the girl now questioned her mother as tears were falling down.

Hope always felt like she was a monster. Unable to control her magic. Kids would turn their back at her just because of what she was or who her parents were.

She felt alone, misunderstood. She needed a mum but she had build a new life with a son. It felt to the witch like Regina erased her and filled her spot with that new boy.

"Hope....I didn't know how to get you here or to send letters to the other world. I promise if I knew I would have done it. You would have been here sooner and we could have been a happy family here. I thought about you every minute...." Regina now explained.

She understood the pain her daughter must have felt now. She wished she been there for her. She missed Hope being part of her life which was why she adopted Henry to fill the void.

Hope looked at her mother who tried to hold back tears. She felt bad for invading her home so all of the sudden. Though she just felt all this anger, this pain. She couldn't just come here and act all cheery. No ofcourse she had to confront her.

"You thought of me?" she now asked, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Yes...thats why I adopted Henry to try to fill the void you left...it worked for some time...but not fully. He could never replace you...never in a million years."

For some time it was quiet. Regina her eyes were full of tears while Hope her tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry for barging in" the witch now said through her tears.

Her mother shook her head with a small smile as she then hugged her daughter. ''Do you maybe want to see your new brother?'' she tried to ask. Hope just nodded, though not entirely happy knowing she might has to share her mother.

As she followed her mother upstairs she looked how the house looked like. Modern and white and black.

As she just looked at the wall covered with pictures of the mother and son she heard worried yells. Confused Hope looked at her mum. She looked at her daughter with a pannicked look. ''He is gone'' she said.

Hope blinked. What did she mean he was gone. ''What the fuck do you mean?''

Regina looked at her as she called a lot of people now. ''Henry, he is nowhere to be seen'' she said. ''Well can't you just use magic to find him?'' Hope answered.

Regina looked at her daughter. ''There is no magic here!''

At that Hope looked at the woman in shock. ''YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME'' She yelled at which Graham came out Regina her room. ''Lower your voice Hope'' her mother firmly spoke.

''What is going on here? And who is that?'' Graham now asked the mayor.

_________________🔮🔮🔮________________

Hope couldn't believe that there was no magic where she was, and the fact she had to share her mother?? Noises were now heard outside and Regina opened the frontdoor at which the witch saw a boy just like in the picture and an unfamiliar blonde woman.

''Henry? Uh! Henry!'' Hope her mother yelled out, running out and hugging her adopted son. ''Are you okay? Where have you been? What happened?'' she started questioning him, worry heard in her tone. Meanwhile Hope had walked outside too and bit her innercheek to try not to say bad things.

''I found my real mom!'' The boy now yelled out, running inside the house. A smile now formed onto the 14-year-old girl as she looked at the other female standing infront of her and her mother. ''You're Henry's birth mother?'' she asked.

This was perfect. Henry could get back to her and she could have her own mum. Problem solved. ''Hi.'' the woman replied.

''I'll.. just.. go check the lad, make sure he's okay.'' the sherrif now said, exiting the conversation to talk to the young boy.

''How'd you like a glass of the best apple cider you ever tasted?'' Regina now asked the biological mother of Henry.

''Got anything stronger?''

As they made their way back inside with the woman appearently called Emma Swan, Hope looked at her mum. ''What the fuck is apple cider?''

''Something you won't get'' her mother answered while getting a set of glasses from the kitchen.

Hope rolled her eyes and sat now down at the couch, staring at the cealing. She heard her mother come back and putting the glasses down, smacking her daughter her hand away when she tried to grab one of the alcohol drinks, and giving her a glass of water instead.

''Do I need to be worried about the father?'' Hope heard her mother ask after she was back from zoning out as she was sipping her water.

''Nope. Doesn't even know.'' Emma replied at which Hope laughed bitterly.

''The dad doesn't know? Wow and here I thought what my mum did was fucking bad'' she spat. She didn't like it at all to hear that a father didnt get a change to know they were a father even. Stand alone to make a choice.

''Hope Daniëlle Mills get your butt to your room. This is an adult conversation'' she said as she glared at her 14-year-old daughter.

Hope stared at her mother in slight frustration. "Since when did I have a room here?" she snapped.

"Since always, now go upstairs...second room. The fall on your head got you good" Regina answered through gritted teeth at the first part. She hoped Emma would buy the lie of her hitting her head.

The girl rolled her eyes but as she saw the deathstare her mother now shot at her she immediately ran upstairs to the second bedroom. She opened the door and looked around the room. It was a spare bedroom with a big bed in the middle, and a desk with a chair under a window. The window was placed some meters away from the bed.

"Who are you?" Hope turned around to see Henry standing in the dooropening.
"Oh great it's you" she said as irritation filled her body more and more.

"How do you know my mum? Because she is evil and you didn't show up in the book" he now asked her. God he looked innocent, but the witch hated him. Mostly more now because of how he called her mum evil. She sat now infront of him to look him in the eyes, even though she was like a couple centimeters taller.

"Look kid. She is NOT evil. And she is ALSO my mother. Scratch that , I am her biological daughter" she now said, glaring at him. This made the boy step back. "You are her daughter?"

Hope nodded, standing up again. "But she gave me up and replaced me with you..." she spoke and then pushed him out the room before locking it.

________________🔮🔮🔮_________________

Hope groaned as she got disturbed in her nap by her mother nudging her shoulder. "Woman let me sleep" she snapped.

"Hope Danielle Mills, lose that attitude! Henry is gone missing again!! So get your shoes on we are going to Graham right now!" the latina woman shouted now.

Hope should have been black she knew that , but she was a doppelgänger thats what her dad figured out. She was an exact replica of someone in another universe. It sounded creepy to her, but she always shrugged it off.

After throwing her shoes on as fast as she could -her mother had to tie her shoelaces as she always had worn heels- mother and daughter rushed to the policestation.

"Graham? Henry's run away again, we have to-- " Regina started as they both entered the jailcells, and spotted Emma behind bars. "what is she doing here?"

"Do you know where he is?" the mayor now asked Emma. "Lady, I haven't seen him since I dropped him at your house, and--" the blonde woman responded and then indicated the prison bars. "---pretty good alibi." she finished.

"Yeah, well, he wasn't in his room this morning." "Did you try his friends?" Emma now asked. "He doesn't really have any. Kind of a loner."

As Hope heard that she looked down. She was also someone without friends at home. Too scared to contact her. They would only bully her or look disgusted at her.

"Every kid has friends. Did you check his computer? If he was close to someone he'd be emailing them." Emma now said. "What the fuck is a computer??" the witch now said. This made Graham look at the girl in disbelief.

"What??" she now asked the sherrif as she noticed how he looked at her. He just pulled her away to another room , and smiled at her. "Lets not disturb their conversation...now how do you not know what a computer is?" he asked her as he sat her down onto a chair and giving her water.

"She fell of the stairs and hit her head, she doesn't know anything anymore from after and before I took her in again after her adoption parents died" Regina explained as she walked in with Emma trailing behind her.

Hope this time decided to be smart and play along with what her mother said, and nodded. "My head still hurts..." she lied. "Come on lets go home so Emma can help us with finding Henry and you can rest" Graham said at that, now noticing the wound on the girl her head now. Though this was when the brunette had fallen out the portal from the sky.

"Or you should get her checked up at doctor Whale" he now said, helping the girl up. "I totally forgot to do that. Henry was gone so I focussed mostly on that" Regina now told them all, but as she also saw the blood trickeling down her daughter her head she got worried fast.

"Yeah lets do that" she now said and they both first got into Graham his car and drove to the hospital. Hope though did not like the building at all, and shook her head. "I'm not going inside, I'm fine" she said.

"I know it can be all scary but you have to be checked up" Emma explained. The doppelgänger rolled her eyes but finally then walked inside with them.

_________________🔮🔮🔮________________

The witch sat on a hospitalbed after being checked up by the doctor. "I feel like I need to throw up" she muttered, feeling the headache increase.

Doctor Whale wrote something down before looking up. "It seems like the impact of you hitting your head came earlier then the pain" he said. "I think some rest for 2 days & limited screentime for those days shall be enough."

The brunette groaned, and closed her eyes as the light was hurting too much. The abandonement and finding her mother again pushed her pain away, but now it reappeared.

"Ofcourse doctor we will make sure she will rest." Regina said while rubbing her daughter her arm as she noticed she fell asleep.
