Ella Stevens's Story

Little Red was making her way through the forests to visit her Granny when all of a sudden she was picked up from the grounds underneath her feet and dropped into a world she has never seen before. She instantly had all of these new memories about the world she is now in but could still remember where she came from. The brunette began making her way through the new town which had many things she had never come into contact with before, but still managed to know what everything was. The woman made her way into a building, known as the town's nightclub. It was luminous with neon paint, loud music, the smell of alcohol, and even drunken fairy tales and other people she had never seen before.
The woman took her place behind the bar and tied her apron around her waist before taking orders from the customers. She glanced over towards the opposite end of the bar and noticed Ella, who was also known as Cinderella. She cleared her throat as she began filling drinks and sliding them down the bar, "Strange place, huh?"

Elliot stood in one of the bedrooms to his new house placed a mile outside of town. The mayor had granted it to him as a gift for his new position of sheriff. Elliot looked at the mirror above his dresser. He spotted the badge that he had attached to his buckle. He wore nice fitting jeans, a grey short sleeve shirt and an unzipped brown leather jacket. He felt lonely in his new house. There were three empty bedrooms upstairs with a nice kitchen, family room, rec room, study, and garage downstairs. Elliot stared at the mirror as images of a beast running through the forest with claws and sharp teeth flashed through his head. He was interrupted as his phone rang. He flipped it open. "Yeah?" "Mr.Wolf?" said a voice he instantly recognized. It was Beka Crowley, the seventeen year old daughter of Rumpelstiltskin. "Um you should probably head down to the club tonight because there are more people than you could imagine here. You know you being the new sheriff and all just giving you a heads up in-case it gets too rowdy. You know?" Elliot looked to the clock in his room. It was 40 past 10. "Okay Beka, your curfew is in 20 minutes so you better be at home by the time I get there. I dont want to hear from your dad tonight you understand?" He heard laughing through the phone coming from Beka and her friends. "Okay Mr.Wolf!" He hung up and chuckled. Rumpelstiltskin, who also goes by Mr.Gold, would not be too happy to hear about his daughter out so late. No one knew who Bekas mother was she didnt survive the transition from Fairy Tale Land to this new world. Mr.Gold never spoke of her. Beka was one of the few people who knew about Elliot trying to change his ways and was always there for advice and help. Elliot texted Beka telling her to return home, then headed down to the garage.
Elliot arrived at the club and cut the line to the entrance. One of the tweedle brothers was security and slowly letting people in. "Better keep an eye out Wolf. Its getting pretty hectic in there." "Thanks Tweedle." said Elliot as he entered the club. Hopefully no fights broke out tonight.

Marissa tilted her head slightly as she answered, "Um, about 1:30am," she answered. She turned around towards the kitchen behind them and placed the customer's orders who ordered food along with their alcohol. Although this place was strange, she began to like it here though she does want to get back home at the same time. At that moment she realized that she no longer had her red cloak with her, that cloak pretty much made her who she was. Without it, she doesn't feel like herself. "Ella, do you happen to know where my cloak is?"

Elliot waved to Ella when she called out and he slowly approached the bar, he had to squeeze through many drunk fairy tales on his way. Usually it wasn't so crowded but it was a Saturday and everyone wanted to enjoy themselves. "Hey Ella." he said giving her a faint smile. "Ill just get a Gin and Tonic." she nodded. "Busy tonight, yeah?" he asked the girls, giving Red a nod, who was going by the name Marissa.

Marissa sighed and nodded her head at Ella's answer to her question. When she noticed Ella making her way down the bar, she heard her begin talking to the sheriff. This man seemed familiar for some reason and it wasn't a very good one at all. When she heard the man speaking to her she realized who he was and nodded her head to him and spoke, "Yeah, highly busy. It's like this every Saturday, sometimes worse." The female gulped slightly before speaking once more and figured that since this man was the sheriff, he might know where her cloak is, "Um, you wouldn't happen to know where my cloak is, would you Sheriff?" She was so desperate that she was willing to speak to her worst enemy to find out where this cloak was. In a way she found it sad that it was bothering her this much. She had also found it sad that she was highly attracted to this man as well, he was just so damn good looking, she couldn't stop herself from checking him out.

Ella handed him his drink. "Thank you Ella!" he yelled after her as she went to deal with her customers."Im sorry Red, I havent seen your cloak but I will keep my eye out for it. A lot of fables have been coming to the station because they lost something on the transition here back from our land. I will do my best to find it." He winked at her. "You dont need to be nervous Marissa. Im not the big bad wolf.. not anymore." he said with a sigh, taking a huge gulp of his drink before sitting down. He told himself this would be his only drink for the night. He needed to be right in the head in-case a fight broke out or anything of the sort. He couldn't help but check out Marissa. He kept his eyes on her as he took a sip from his drink

Marissa nodded her head, still a little nervous but hoped he was right. It was bad enough she had to worry about herself staying alive back at home, but if she had to do that here too, she'd just hate it even more. Although, she didn't think that would ever be possible. "Thanks Sheriff," she stated as she began to get back to work. She was beginning to get tired of all the drunken guys flirting with her, but she just pushed it aside, knowing that it came with the job. "Ella, would you like to have a look around the town after we get out of work? I wouldn't mind sticking around until your shift is over."

Elliot watched Red walk away to deal with the rest of the customers. Everything was different in this world. He knew Marissa missed home but Elliot was glad to be here in this new land. It was a second chance. Im not the big bad wolf.. not anymore... That sentence played through Elliots head over and over again. Ella and Beka were the only two fables from back home that didn't look at Elliot in fear or hatred. Sure Ella knew of his past deeds as the wolf but she still found it in her heart to show him some sort of kindness. Maybe she also believed everyone deserved a second chance in this new world? Beka is a different matter. The teenage girl was the only person who wasnt afraid to call Elliot 'friend' in this new wolrd. Elliot slowly moved the small black straw mixing the little bit of gin he had left. As more memories of the woods and the wolf flashed through his head, he shook his head, and instead of finishing his drink he pushed it aside, and stood up to leave. The club had dwindled down and he was sure they wouldn't need any protection from him. Giving as gentle a nod as he could to Ella and Red, he turned and left the club. He decided he would spend the rest of the night patrolling the streets and keep an eye out for Reds cloak. His first stop would be Mr.Golds shop as to make sure Beka got home safe.

Marissa nodded her head at Ella's response. "Yeah, that's fine. I'd just like some company is all," she stated as she continued filling their drunken patrons glasses with more alcohol. "Even though I already know what and where everything is in this town because of these strange, fake memories that were embedded into our heads, I'd still like to see it all with my own eyes. Maybe I'll even find my cloak." Marissa was excited about possibly finding her cloak, it was her most prized possession. Although, she was still a bit weary of the sheriff. She could tell the man was trying to change, but what if his trying doesn't work? She shook her head and decided that now wasn't going to be the time to think about that.

Marissa sighed as she removed her apron and went to the employees office to clock out. Her first real day on this job was exhausting, it was nice to finally be done for the night. She really couldn't wait until she was able to go out and explore. It would be nice to spend some time with Ella, even back in fairy tale land she wasn't able to spend much time with her because of her royal duties as Cinderella. Marissa moved around to the opposite side of the bar and took a seat in one of the empty bar stools to keep Ella company just like she promised.

The brunette sighed and rested her head within her propped up left hand. She hoped she would find her cloak soon, she feels like just some normal girl without the item of her namesake. At that moment she thought about the library. Maybe she'd be able to see what the humans interpreted her story as. That was going to be the first place she ventures to. The female smiled softly and let out a relaxing sigh once more.

Marissa smiled and began making her way out of the bar and into the night. She lead Ella through the streets and began looking around, trying to get a feel for everything. For a few minutes she was completely quiet as they continued walking through the streets, but once they got around an area close to the woods she turned and just stared at it. She began having these visions of her in her cloak, hearing the growls coming from the wolf she feared with her very life. The very same wolf who killed her Granny, but she was surprised to find out that her Granny was alive here in Fairy Tale Lane.

Marissa could hear someone calling her name, whether it was Ella calling for her or someone in her thoughts, she wasn't sure. She eventually snapped out of her blank gaze into the forest and turned towards Ella. "I um, don't know what happened. I had these memories I was in the woods, still in my cloak and I heard the wolf's growls. But it's not something I remember actually happening," she stated with a confused tone.

The night was calm as the nocturnal creatures called to each other. Aleara honestly loved the night, there was something about it that calmed her. She once feared it, back when she was a prisoner to The Beast but over time that changed. Once she was free to wander, she would spend many nights finding new places to explore. The staff, usually Monsieur Lumiere and Cogsworth, would accompany her until the Beast decided he wanted to spend time with her. Then together they would walk the castle, The Beast usually informing of the history of whatever they found and Aleara commenting about what she had read on a similar piece. Once the pair had spent hours looking and talking, they would retire to their own rooms and the cycle would repeat until the day Aleara's journey began.
As Aleara though back to the early years with Adam, she noticed Marissa and Ella paused by the forest. Besides Elliot, she had not really seen any other Fairy Tale characters since her arrival. Picking up her pace a little, she called, "Marissa. Ella." When they turned she gave them a friendly smile. "Hello, how are you tonight?"
