Don't Blame Me | Once Upon a Time |

Prologue

As Blair grew in age she would wish that she would see her father again of course she knew is was an absurd dream but isn't that what most dreams were. But the older she got the more she grew a small hatred for him, the people in village started to talk after his night visit. A pirate abandoned his daughter, "they were so selfish they abandon their own blood" is something Blair had overheard, people would make comments whenever they saw Vanessa and Blair in town  so Blair started to doubt anything, it didn't help that her only two friends in the village also had a nickname "The Cowards sons". They trio were always seen together it made sense to everyone in the villiage that the two families were close they were both broken families.

Blair had gotten over never seeing her father of course in the back of her mind she had a resentment for him but at this point she wouldn't care if he showed up in front of her. She had become happy, she had her friend's, and her aunt was a very helpful person in the village as she was a doctor, some people didn't trust her cause they thought she would use witchcraft to help her patients but that didn't stop Vanessa from helping those who were willing to let her help.

But that happiness never lasted long for Blair. In fact when happiness arrived in Blair's life tragedy would soon follow.

The Ogres war was back, and they were making child soldiers. Blair was one of those soldiers, she was dragged out of her house when she turned 14 as the Dark One forced Vanessa away. She was gone off to the war for over 3 months, what she didn't expect a new Dark One had taken place, Rumplstilskin. He had ended the war and while all the children were brought home Blair came back changed. She didn't sleep as it brought nightmares, she barely ate, she was just in a trance. She became reckless. It was than Vanessa begged Killian to come back, to be there for his daughter.

And Killian did, he came and he took Blair away. Blair had a hatred for her father, Rumplestiltskin had become the Dark One to keep his children out of the war but this is the second time Blair had ever met her father, so even if he was taking her away from all her pain she hated him, he wasn't there to protect her before she was ruined by war.

Blair had been in hiding ever since Rumplestiltskin was captured, of course no one actual knew that as no one ever learned what the girl looked like. Anytime Blair was seen with the Dark One she was always seen in her long black cloak with her hood covering her face. There was only a select few who knew what she looked like, and she would have liked to keep it that way. Blair awaited the news as Regina had finally sacrificed the thing she loved most which just so happened to be her father to activate the Dark Curse. On the day the curse was activated Snow had gone into labor sending her daughter through a magical wardrobe to save her, so that in twenty-eight years she would come find them and break the curse to save them something Rumplestiltskin had prophesized years ago.

Blair would be all alone again, so for the first time since she had been stolen, she escaped to Rumplestiltskin's cell and sought comfort in him. She knew that once the curse was broken that's when their real work would begin and everything Blair had done from the time she was first taken till now would have been worth it cause it would have finally set her free, Those were her final thoughts as she held onto Rumples hand sitting outside his cell as the two were surrounded by purple and green smoke and taken to a new land where they would not know who the other would become.

A blonde woman had walked into an inn and hear two women argueing. "You're out all night, and now you're going out again." An older woman said.

"I should have moved to Boston." The other spoke as they came down the stairs.

"I'm sorry that my heart attack interfered with your plans to sleep your way down the Eastern Seaboard." The older one spoke.

"Excuse me. I'd like a room." The blonde spoke.

"Really?" The older woman said in shock. "Would you like a forest view or a square view? Normally, there's an upgrade fee for the square, but as rent is due, I'll waive it." The older woman explained as she grabbed a journal and went to the host stand.

"Squares fine." The blonde said, she didn't notice the older man and the teenager walk in behind him.

"Now, what's the name?"

"Swan. Emma Swan." The blonde said.

"Emma. What a lovely name." Mr. Gold said.

"Thanks."

Granny had reached into the drawer and pulled out a roll of cash. "It's all here." Mr.Gold nodded to Frankie the girl next to him, who stepped forward and grabbed the cash before handing it to Mr. Gold. "Yes, of course it is, dear. Thank you."

"You enjoy your stay, Emma." Mr. Gold told her. Frankie was still looking at Emma in curiosity. "Frankie." Mr. Gold grabbed her arm and the two walked out of the bed and breakfast. Ruby watched as Mr. Gold walked slowly behind his daughter who was skipping down the sidewalk.

"Who's that?" Emma asked.

"Mr. Gold and Francesca, they own this place." Ruby said.

"The Inn?" Emma asked.

"No. The town." Granny told her.

Frankie had looked back at the Inn seconds later, something felt different. She felt different.

"I feel like there are gonna be changes around here soon." Frankie said as she continued to skip down the street.
