The Wicked Witch did not cast a new curse, Hook left the Enchanted Forest to retrieve Emma and Henry so Emma could save her family from the wicked witch among other new dark threats. He brings them both to the Enchanted Forest...


In the darkness a portal had emerged somewhere in a clearing in the middle of the enchanted forest which kept its position for a few more seconds before it spewed out three people onto the forests soft grass before closing behind them disappearing closing the portal after it's usage.

Out of the three there was a boy who looked up from the ground in where his face had been since arriving. "So this is the enchanted forest?" the boy's mother then looked to her son then around where they were and then finally looked to the handsome pirate who had stuck up his head as well to look at her.

It was nightfall and it was midnight dark out with a bright white moon shining overhead in the black white cloudy sky. "Yup, this it...right Hook?"

The pirate then stood up helping the woman who then helped her son off the ground,he replied in his accent. "Aye Swan that it is. We should set up camp for the night and set off towards your parents camp at dawn" Emma nodded then looked to Henry who was looking at what ever he could overwhelmed, Emma then decided to retrieve firewood for a fire so they were warm leaving Henry with Hook.

Hook kept his eyes on Emma as she did so knowing who and what might be out there, Henry then captured his slight attention by speaking. "Do you know how far away we are from-" then a screech was heard in sky, Hook's heart started beating ten times faster inside his chest.

"Swan!" He could see Emma start to run towards them dropping the logs of wood she had found, Hook had unsheathed his sword bringing Henry closer towards him and holding his prosthetic hand towards Emma who ran towards them.

Emma then reached them as a screeching wailing creature dove for them, they ducked while Hook swung his sword making the flying winged beast cower back for a couple of moments.

"We have to make a run for it, it's not that far away!" Hook then pulled Emma and Henry with him as they started to sprint as fast as they could trying to evade the flying winged monster, while they ran Henry had fallen down tripping on a rock.

Hook hearing his grunt stopped to see him on the ground, he handed his sword to Emma before running over to Henry and told him to hop on his back quickly which he quickly obeyed. Emma shouted Hook's name in worry for her son and for him, seeing the flying creature get closer to Henry and Hook.

Hook ran up to Emma who pushed him ahead swinging at the creature as it screeched diving towards them once more, Emma managed to slice at it defending her son and Hook and then continued to run with them towards the direction Hook had said was her parents camp which was protected.

They could see torches lit in the distance signaling the sight of the camp, causing them to gain even more speed. Hook was a bit slowed down carrying Henry but still managed to keep up with Emma, they then heard a loud wailing from the creature they had encountered and then after heard even more screeching. To them it was even clearer that it had summoned more of its own kind, they gained as much more speed as they could running. They started to shout so the people in the camp would hear them and come help them reach the camp, they started to go towards the wooded area with many tree's where the camp was in the middle of.

They reached the tree line when they heard another screeching, in which Emma turned her back to see how close they were to them while in mid run. She did not see the thick tree branch sticking out and colliding into it with her head causing her to be knocked down winding her.

Emma could hear Hook still running with Henry, as her vision swirled around becoming blurry and a massive pain began to form in her head. Her head laid on the leaved forest ground near the tree line near the woods, she moaned from the pain disoriented. She could hear people now shouting her name, a screeching, marching of multiple boots as if a in sync group,and the patter of horse's galloping.

Emma knew she had to get to the camp and follow Hook and Henry, she tried to get up from off the forest ground. She slowly got up and stumbled balancing on trees when she felt she would fall over, she got a couple of feet before she felt someone kick her in the back causing her to fall to the ground face first, before she lost consciousness she thought she heard her mother scream her name.

"EMMA!"

Then nothing, but darkness much like which was shown in the sky of the enchanted land that night.


The first thing she remembered feeling was being shoved around, she tried to open her eyes but could not tell they were open. Then finally when she did she realized a brown cloth was covering her eyes, her senses came back to her and she realized her head hurt immensely and that her hands were tied behind her back.

Soon she tried to stand up, she soon realized she was being dragged by two people by the arms. She struggled to break their grasp, but found she was still a bit weak from the pain in her head.

She soon started to hear more noises, like she was now outdoors then before. She heard the murmuring of people as she felt her limbs regaining strength, she then was pulled to be on her feet.

She was then shoved and lead up wooden stairs in which she figured from the creaking, she was then shoved to stand properly in place.

A loud strict male's voice boomed shushing the muttering scared, whimpering people. "This woman was found near the rebel's camp, let this be a warning to the rebels and anyone who plans to go against our leader the great queen" she then felt someone kick her where she stood, and then other blows and kicks directed at her ribs cracking a couple. Emma grunted and screamed in pain when she felt her ribs cracking within her chest.

Unknown to Emma through a silver reflective Shield was on display facing Emma, it for sale in the kingdom's village market providing a clear view to a former queen along with many people watching in a protected camp.

Emma was lying on her side on the wooden platform where she assumed they delivered punishment, for that was what she was receiving. She felt a couple of more feet and fists join in at hitting her breaking her making her bleed a bit, as they let up hurting her she then felt someone kick her in the stomach one more time before it stopped for two minutes.

Emma laid on the ground on her side in a fetal position trying to control her pain, but it was getting unbearable. As this happened she then felt a hand gruffly pull up her shirt from behind exposing her back.

Then excruciating pain slashed at her back causing her to scream out in pain as the whip cracked creating new slashes and scars over the old one's from foster parent's abuse from her childhood. She could hear the guard chuckling at her torment, she tried to control herself from screaming out as the guard slashed her back but it was bringing out old hurtful memories and she did not care anymore and let it out.

Her screams could be heard throughout the kingdom's courtyard and village, causing her grandparent's souls to cry their hearts out in their graves. She couldn't hear the people cowering in fear, because of her own screams from the pain.

Emma stayed on the ground trying to contain the pain in her back no longer screaming, she heard the guard who had been whipping her shout at her as she felt drops of blood splash on her face. The guard had cleaned off his whip, shouting. "Your nothing more than a-"

Emma breathed heavily from the ground listening to him, she stayed there silent for a minute considering doing what she was thinking of doing. She knew they were going to kill her, if she didn't do anything soon.

As this occurred a woman with green skin wearing a queenly outfit colored black wearing an emerald green jewel necklace walked out of one of the castle's entrances demanding to see who her guards had captured from the rebels, so she would know who to rub the death in to. The woman heard the sounds of screams and smiled at her victory no matter the size, a guard then began to speak with her about plans.

Emma eye sight from under the brown cloth was becoming blurry from the extreme pain in her back which dripped of blood and marred fresh scars. Emma clenched her eyes shut not knowing what she was doing and followed her emotions, she had to escape had to save and get to Henry she needed to find her way back to her guard reminded her so much of all her abusive foster parents, she could barely hold her anger and emotions in any longer.

Her eyes reopened from under the blindfold and shown through it the color of a pure illuminating bright white, as the guard who had been whipping her back and was speaking being cut off was thrown backwards off the platform by a pure invisible powerful force.

The fair green-skinned queen waltzed in to see what had happened from her guards shouting 'magic', she rushed up towards the platform when she noticed her head guard who did slashing's pull up a blonde woman off the gallows platform by the shirt that she was wearing.

The green-skinned queen looked at the blonde woman with curiosity, she had magic and very powerful at that. Then as her head guard took out his dagger and was about to stab the woman with it finishing her off, she noticed something that struck her to her very core as she saw the woman's face. That face she had seen in her dreams, that face she had held in her hands only smaller younger holding a smile, she would recognize that face anywhere for she never forgot.

In a broken whisper "Emma"

The green-skinned queen whispered the name with worry and endearment. She took off towards the gallows platform towards the woman and her head guard, she shouted out as the guard shocked by his queen dropped the woman he had held up. The woman had passed out in the guards arms a second before being dropped, the green-skinned queen screamed and shouted out at her guards to stop frantically.

Emma fell to the floor as the woman pushed the guards out-of-the-way from standing in shock and fear of their queen. The woman kneeled onto the ground next to the fallen woman, she brought the woman's head into her lap holding her face lovingly searching for a pulse.

She found one and screamed out for the healer of the kingdom, as the villager's and people watching through a reflective shield in a protected camp stayed in shock at the witches actions especially what she soon said after the healer reached Emma.

The witch shouted out to the guards an order "Bring her inside the castle to my chamber's, she needs to be tended for immediately!" The guards then scrambled helping the healer put Emma on the healers stretcher and rushed her inside the castle while the witch followed next to them running holding the unconscious barely breathing blonde haired woman's limp hand.
