I was in my room thinking... thinking wow 17 years old today. Thats all i'm thinking about and hoping my parents aren't planning a ball like they do every year for my birthday. They are very boring to me because all they care about is me finding my true love so I can one day take the throne which i'm not looking forward to. Im not what you expected you see I hate being royalty. It just doesn't suit me. Ive always wanted to go outside to shoot my bow & arrow but ever since that day I was never able to go outside again...
Flashback
I was 7 years old my mother was teaching me how to defend my self using a bow & arrow. She would tell me her stories of her using it against The evil queens knights. They have a rough past. Anyways once she showed me how to hold the bow and aim correctly she let me do my thing. I took a deep breath & aimed, then I made my shoot and surprisingly I hit the middle of the target.
"Mom look! I hit it! I hit it!" I said excitedly.
"Thats great sweet heart! Wow your growing up so fast. " she said fake crying.
I chuckled and went to the tree where my arrow hit. But I saw something around the tree. She was tall and had really dark long hair. and had a black terrifying dress. I walked back slowly and called my mom.
"M-Mom.." i stuttered getting my words out. She appeared out of the woods and looked my way. Her eyes shot with fear yet angry. She ran towards me and grabbed my arm and walked backwards. The figure stepped out of the shadows and began speaking.
"Well well well look what we have here Snow white and Emma. " she said obviously not surprised. But how does she know my Name Im pretty sure she knows my mom though.
"Regina.. what do you want." my mom said.
"I seek nothing just giving you a warning. "
"what are you saying ?"
"You see I still seek revenge and seeing you living happily ever after makes me sick. My warning is if i ever see your child outside again I will not hesitate to take her away from you. "
My mom was speechless so was I. Is she seriously taking away my freedom?
"Please this does not involve my daughter. Just kill me. "
"Oh no snow I want to see you suffer. "
And with that she disappeared and therefore I was never allowed outside again & It doesn't matter how old I am.

I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in!" i shout.
My maid Roseanne came in telling me to get ready for tonights ball.
Ughhhhh.
I lazily got out of bed and began to get ready I wore a simple long yet beautiful white dress. This is probably the only dress i would wear. I did my make up. By the time I was done it was around 6:30. The ball doesn't start till 7:00. So I just decided to read until the ball.
Time skip to 7;00
It was time for the ball. I made my way down stairs and greeted my parents.
"Happy 17th birthday Emma. " my mom says happily.
"Thanks guys.."
I walked away into the ball room where the ball is being held. Theres already so much people I decided just to sit and watch everyone have a good time. Im not trying to dance with anyone today.
2 hours into the ball
I was bored out of my mind. So without thinking i went outside into the balcony. Once I was outside it was the most amazing feeling the air the view it was all so beautiful. I was enjoying my moment when I heard someone I turned around and there she was. Her
"Someone just doesn't know how to listen."
After hearing that i blacked out..
