Locked Up

one

~Emma's POV~

"Emma Swan I hereby sentence you to 5 years in prison." The judge bangs his gavel twice. I didn't even do anything wrong. I was set up. I stay silent and glare at the judge. He shivers before speaking again. "Bailiff take her away."

"Let's go." The bailiff says. My chains jiggle as I walk. I'm a harmless human being, yet I'm being made out to be this villain. I did some of the things I'm being accused of, but not all. I look back at my parents once more and hold up a peace sign.

"We love you Emma!" My mother shouts. I smile and the door closes behind me.

-1 month-

"You don't talk much." My cellmate states. "Huh newbie?"

"That's not my name. Don't call me that. It's Swan." I come off as aggressive.

"Shit. You ain't gotta say it so mean." She murmurs

"Watch your mouth. Get off my bed too." She hops off the top bunk.

"So it's been a month. You know my name– Ruby, but everyone calls me Red– and your name is Emma. And you prefer to be called Swan." Ruby says. "Can I ask you a question?" I look at her and nod. "What are you doing here? I mean in this prison. Why are you in a special prison for LGBT+ people? No offense but you don't seem gay." I look at her confused as shit. We start laughing at what she just said. "Don't tell anyone I said that. It'll make me sound ignorant."

"I have a dick." I say after we calm down. She laughs nervously.

"Are you serious?"

"Since the day I was born." I lay back on my bed. I feel a hand on my crotch. "Hey!"

"Sorry." She jumps. "I really sorry. I don't know why I did that." She starts to ramble.

"Hey it's fine." I shrug. "You are the first curious one."

"I think it's cool you have a dick... that's big." She mumbles the last part.

"I heard that." I smirk.

"Damn. I wish you hadn't told me that." She fidgets with her fingers.

"Why?"

"I'm a sex addict... but I also have a girlfriend who's just like you. She'd hate for me to stray." She sits on her bed.

"That's tough." I sigh. "Too bad she won't know." Ruby's head pops up and her brown eyes meat mine.

"You really think we could fool around?" She asks shyly.

"Yeah. What's your girlfriend's name?"

"Dorothy."

"Gale?"

"Yeah."

"Dorothy Gale is your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"That's my cousin." I smirk.

"Then we can't fool around." She pouts.

"I never said that."

"Are you in a gang?"

"Yeah."

"Wow." I'm a very intelligent person. I'm the leader of a cartel and the cops think I'm just a kid who sells drugs and working for someone. They're still trying to find out who it is. "I think the tattoos gave it away."

"Yeah."

"I like your face tattoos."

"Thanks."

"So how many people have you killed?"

"Too many."

"Well then." She looks away not knowing how to feel.

"Swan." A guard's deep voice says. It's jimmy– he's cool peeps. "I got you these from commissary." I quickly hop off my bed and skip to the door. He hands me what I asked for and some extra goodies.

"Thanks Jimmy."

"No problem. I got you something too Red." He tosses Ruby some candy. "Hey there's word that there's gonna be a new counselor/social worker. And it's gonna be a woman. She might be here in a month."

"Really." I nod my head. "I'm tired of seeing Archie. Twice a day."

"Well they're just tryna help you."

"Yeah... I know." I sigh.

"It's nice to have ya talking." He smiles briefly. "Alright I gotta go now."

"See ya." I say. I walk back in and Ruby is wondering what I got.

"So?" She says excitedly.

"It's just the usual Ruby. Some ciggies (🚬), ramen, and chips. Candy too."

"Yeah right."

"Okay there's some Twinkies and honey buns too." I come clean.

"Pwease." She says with puppy dog eyes.

"Fine." I toss her one and she catches it with a huge smile.
