Oh my wow my first OUAT fic. It came to me when I watched this week's episode. I can't wait for the finale. Anyway, in this, Henry, Chessie and Paige are thirteen.

Emma Swan was driving around story brook when she saw a girl around Henry's age stumbling down the road by the town sign. She pulled over and started running toward the girl.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked the black haired girl and the girl just kept stumbling forward.

Emma stopped her by getting a grip on her shoulders and the sudden contact shocked the girl into reality.

"Are you okay?" Emma asked again and the girl shook her head.

"N-no. Where am I?" she asked, her bright blue eyes lighting up the darkness.

"You're in Storybrooke."

She giggled. "That sounds like story book. How odd."

"You have no idea kid. Do you need a ride somewhere?" Emma asked her and she blinked once before nodding.

"Where?"

"The nearest hospital…" she whispered and unconsciously rubbed her arm. Emma grabbed her elbow and saw that the girl had cuts up and down her arm. She checked the other arm and they were there too. They were extremely deep and bleeding like crazy. Emma saw a look of fright flash in the girl's eyes before she collapsed in Emma's arms.

A very human Cheshire Cat walked down the cobblestone path leading her to the mushroom. She sat in front of it and waited for Epsilon to come out of his hiding place. Sure enough, he came out, blowing the smoke in her face. She didn't breathe it in but blew it out of her face. She looked up at her teacher with an adoring smile and he sighed at her.

"What do you want Chesh?"

"I've been talking to mom Ep, and I might know who my father is!" she said with a smile and he sighed again, blowing more smoke her way.

"We've gone through this before Cheshire. You have no father."

"Ep, you may be content with that answer but I certainly am not. I will find out who my father is, no matter the costs." She said stubbornly and Epsilon gave a hint of a smile.

"You're willing to do whatever it takes?" he asked and she nodded. He took a breath full of the addicting substance in his bong and blew the smoke out of his mouth. It surrounded both of them and they were transported to the red queen's castle.

Cheshire took a look around and looked at her teacher.

"What are we doing here?" she asked him and he gace her an all knowing look.

"This is the first step in helping you meet your father." He said quietly and she nodded. A guard came outside and talked to Epsilon. Cheshire sat on the nearest step and let them talk in private. When they were done, the guard escorted her down to the basement and to her future.
