The curse 2.0
Neverland, they never thought they were going to have to leave it. But they were. Neverland. They had escaped for their lives, escaped for their memories, and escaped, because there was nothing else. The battle was won, but the war was not over. Now they had to go back. Emma looked up to the sun while she was grabbing more water for her canteen. This place had been a place to rejuvenate. Of course that wasn't first on her mind when she was being chased on foot by Hook just a few days before. Now that battle was won, and it was time to relax and get ready to go back to Storybrook. Just a couple of weeks went by and much has happen. If you look at Emma you can see the exhaustion running down the lines on her face. They didn't escape to Neverland because they wanted to, no, because they had to. Magic was discovered in Storybrook and no one was safe. Greg and Tamara were out to steal magic for themselves. It only got them killed. Now Emma might be the one killed when she has to explain to Regina why Henry and she escaped. It was just them, her parents too, Neal, and Hook the stole away. During the course of that last battle in Storybrook where Tamara had all the power she wanted, Emma made a drastic destination. Hide on the boat. Tamara had no idea about Hook's boat. "Ready!" Emma's thoughts were interrupted by her mother who was more excited to return home. "Yes in a minute, just grabbing more water." The blonde tighten the cap on the canteen and sighed. Remembering when she and Henry escaped to the boat and watching as Tamara was fighting David, and Neal. Two important men her life. Everything happened so quickly, David and Neal ran onto the boat where Emma, Henry, and Snow already where. Tamara was growing, her evilness was enhancing. She had already "done a way" with Regina, and Gold was no longer the dark one. Drastic measures needed to take place. In a panic Emma remembered how her dad had a bean, threw it in the water, and off they went. Now, it was time to go back. Thanks to Hook and his secret magical bean they were going home. But what home were they going to? Tamara was wreaking havoc on the town, with her puppet Greg by her side. Was it really safe? Regardless it had to be done; it was time to go back to that town to finish up what they started. Magic beans cannot grow in Neverland, but they flourish in Main. She took a deep breath and went off to find her family, and her ride home.
"Look there it is!" Henry was so excited to see the shoreline of Storybrook. Everything looked normal, nothing seemed out of place, and the town seemed well, quite the same. "Yes, home." Mary Margret blew out a sigh of relief, but also one of anticipation. What were they going to find? It has only been a couple of weeks, and them going back was a chance they were not sure was necessary the wisest of decisions. But, it had to be done. Neal was steering the boat like a pro, with his son by his side, Emma couldn't help but stare. "You think Hook is going to find a way back here?" Emma's daydream was broken, "Oh, I don't think so." She looked up at the tall blonde man next to her. She had his eyes, and his hair. It was still weird to think that this young man was also her dad. "Let's hope so, I tied him up pretty tight, and magic beans take forever to grow in Neverland."
"I'm sure if he makes his way back here David, we will be ready for him. I must admit though, it's nice to finally breathe."
"Well," David gazed to the shoreline, "let's hope Tamara's powers were only temporary like Rumple said they would be."
"Yeah." Emma didn't want to even think about it.
The boat finally pulled up to the dock, but they were careful not to jump out. The town needed to be scoped out. Emma walked towards the edge as Neal pulled out his telescope to get a deeper look at the town. They were invisible to the naked eye. "Oh look there's Ruby!" Emma pointed towards the long hair brunette jogging on the pier. Ruby had Pongo. Than another man showed up to chat with Ruby, he was wearing Emma's sheriff badge. "Hey isn't that Hansel and Gretel's dad?" Emma looked closer, it was! At that moment Emma jumped out of the boat to confront a surprised Sherriff. "Where did you come from?"
"No questions, why are you wearing my badge?" Emma yanked at the gold star clipped to his coat. "Um, this, right here? Darling, only the Sheriff wears this."
"I know! I'm the Sheriff!"
"Dear, I think you need to see Dr. Hopper, or Dr. Whale, I have never met you before, and you certainty are not the Sheriff." With that he nodded and walked off, leaving Emma bewildered. The rest of her family jumped by her side in question as they overheard the conversation. "What was that about?" Mary Margret looked over to Emma, Emma's eyes were widened. "Guy's" she flipped around and her family could see the fear on her eyes, "I think the town is cursed again!"
