Prologue:

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Emma. She had blonde curling hair that looked like gold and green emerald eyes that sometimes sparkled like diamonds.

Emma had lived in a foster home till her sixth birthday, for on that day everything had changed for her. At least part of her life. Mr. Gold, who was known as Rumpelstiltskin in fairytale land, had prophesized that Emma would be the savior and save the town from the curse of the evil Queen. He had hired a family to adopt the little girl and take care of her till her 28 birthday. Sometimes he had been unsure if she would be there in time, so he made this plan to keep an eye on her to be sure she would be ready when it was time.

Only not everything would go according to plan.

This is the story of Emma Swan.
