Life is a Highway

Rating: K+ to T. Will mention in each chapter. This chapter is T due to detailed violence/gore in bits and pieces.

Spoilers: Season 1 to season 3.

A/N: I hope you enjoy reading this story. Reviews? That would be great. This is an AU story. In this AU, no character has died, except Graham. Maybe add him in if you guys want him in. If you are wondering how is this Snowing or Rumbelle, wait and see.

A/N2: The title, Life is a Highway, is named after the song by Tom Cochrane, and Rascal Flatts also made a cover of the song for Cars. If you understand why I chose this title, listen to the song. Or the title tells it all.

Summary: "We have to go now," Emma shouted. Mary Margaret and Henry stand by the edge of the portal. "Ready to go?" Henry nodded his head. "One, two, three, jump!" The trio jumped into the portal in front of them. They thought they were heading to the Enchanted Forest, but they thought wrong. AU. Many pairings like Snowing and Rumbelle.

Emma, Mary Margaret, and Henry were running for their lives. One of Regina's plans went wrong. Again. A pack of wild wolves are running around Storybrooke. Who knew what plan Regina had that involved a pack of wolves in them. David decided to stay behind to try to defeat those vicious wolves. "Where's David?" Mary Margaret panted. "He should have been here by now, or at least, not far behind us." She turned her head, but no one was behind them for miles. She turned her head back.

Emma looked in her hands while they were running. There was a magic bean in the palm of her hand. She gripped on to it tightly. She stopped running. Henry and Mary Margaret continued to run until they realized Emma stopped running. "We can wait for a moment. Right?" Emma said curiously. The trio waited there for a moment.

"I believe he can defeat them. He's Prince Charming. Prince Charming always saves the day," Henry said trying to say positive.

Mary sighed, "Of course he can." She nodded at Emma. If only Henry was always right. Emma knew that her father could only do so much before magic would be necessary. That was the reason they had to leave for a day or two. They didn't have really outside money, so it was better off traveling to the Enchanted Forest, especially to see their friends.

Two minutes have passed. Three. Four. Finally five minutes have passed. "Should we go back to see if they are alright?" Snow questioned.

"Didn't he say not to wait up for them?" Emma asked.

"But still, we-" Suddenly, a wolf jumped out of the forest on to Henry. Emma pulled out her sword.

"Help!" Henry screamed. Emma ran over to the wolf on top of Henry. She stabbed the creature in the back. It immediately got off Henry and started to circle Emma. Henry got up and ran to Mary Margaret, and was hugged by her. The wolf's wound was dripping on the ground. It didn't seem happy about it. The wolf pounce on her. Mary covered Henry's eyes. A body hit the ground loudly. She took her hand off of Henry. There was a body without a head on the ground. The head was no where in sight. "Thanks mom."

"That was close one." Emma pointed out. She looked in the forest. More wolves were coming.

"Is there more coming?" Emma's mother said curiously. Emma nodded her head. "Can we wait for David? Please?" Emma knew how much they loved each other and how they don't want to leave each other alone again. But time was of the essence. The animals ran closer. Emma is holding her sword in a fighting stance. The fresh blood on the sword dripped down slowly.

Ms. Swan sighed, "Henry, are you okay waiting for a moment?"

Henry replied, "Of course." So they waited. At a time like this. David didn't come as Emma expected. Maybe Rumpelstiltskin needed help with a solution or Regina. But I don't think David would ever help Regina. Not after what she did to everyone, and to himself.

A pack of wolves ran out of the forest, and on to the road that was at the edge of Storybrooke. Right where Emma, Henry, and Mary Margaret were standing. The first wolf came. Emma stabbed it through the heart. "Time's up!" Emma yelled.

"Can't we wait for-"

"We have to go now," Emma shouted. She threw the magic bean on the road. The bean magically turned into a portal. Mary Margaret and Henry stand by the edge of the portal. "Ready to go everyone?" Emma was watching to make sure no more wolves come. Henry nodded his head. "One, two, three, jump!" The trio jumped into the portal in front of them.

This chapter will be the shortest I plan out of all of them. Reviews will be great.
