This is my Once Upon A Time crescendo and my Big Bang for my fanfiction. I have been a closet fanfic write since I started watching and now I feel a good way to keep Once Upon A Time alive would be to share my fanfiction (even if no one reads it).

Also I was typing this on my phone because I don't usually have access to a computer so if there are mistakes please ignore.

Summary: This is taking place anywhere before season 7 after season 6. Robin is alive and the merry men and Roland are still in Storybrooke. Zelena lives in the farmhouse shares custody of baby Robyn with Regina and Robin. She also has magic (because I had a brain lapse and forgot she lost it.) Gideon is a baby. This fic contains Snowing, Captain Swan, Outlaw Queen, Rumbelle, and single Zelena. I own nothing but the villain.

Chapter 1

One day the eldest lost boy came into the sheriffs station, looking rather nervous. Emma was sitting at her desk when he came in.

"Can I help you?"

"Um yeah. I…we…. someone is missing."

Emma raised an eyebrow, not sure what to make of this. "Ok who's missing and how long have they been gone?"

"The youngest of us is missing. We haven't seen him all morning." The teenager stated fidgeting around clearly uncomfortable, but what he was so uncomfortable about Emma had no idea.

"That's hardly missing. Have you checked at school, or the park? Maybe he wandered off."

He rolled his eyes at that, shaking his head. "No it's not like that. We lost boys stick together look out for each other. He wouldn't go anywhere without someone let alone without telling someone."

"Look kid I understand but sometimes kids like to wander off sometimes without them even knowing they are doing it."

"And I'm telling you he wouldn't do that. Not Tootles."

Emma could tell by his tone he was serious, he really thought his friend was missing. "Okay," she said calmly, "if you say he's missing then he's missing. Can you tell me the last time you saw him?"

The guy nodded. "We all saw him last night. We all ate together then went to sleep. I saw him crawl into his cot and go to sleep. I wake up and he was gone."

"Alright that's a start. Can you write?" Emma asked, knowing most of the lost boys were illiterate when they came to Storybrooke.

"Yeah not a lot but I can."

"Ok well me and you need to fill something out just saying that you are asking me to look for him then I will."

The boy visibly relaxed as he walked closer to the desk. "Thank you. You know for an adult you're not so bad."

Emma chuckled "Thanks you're not so bad for a lost boy."

He left after the paperwork was done bumping into David as he got back from patrol.

"What was that about?" David asked from Emma's doorway.

"One of the lost boys is missing. Probably just a run away. I'm gonna go on patrol and see if I can find anything."

"Ok. I'll hold down the fort here. Good luck."

"Thanks dad." Emma called back as she left the sheriff station.

A week went by of nothing. No sign of the littlest lost boy anywhere. Then a woman came in the sheriff station claiming her child has gone missing.

"Me and my husband have looked everywhere we can think of. We can't find them anywhere. I don't know where they could've run off to."

"Don't worry. We will do everything in our power to help you find your child." David assured the woman.

"Thank you."

Another week of nothing and another kid had gone missing.

"Ok twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern." Emma said after the parents of the third child missing left. Looking over the reports again.

"So you think there's another villain in town going around taking kids." David stated more than asked.

Emma picked up her head to look at her father across the sheriff station. "It's not the craziest idea. In Storybrooke anything is possible."

David gave a nod in agreement. "Alight new villain in town. Where do you want to start?"

"Well this one is more discreet than the rest of them. That's for sure."

"We were looking for the kids as runaways but now we are looking at them as kidnappings."

"Meaning we need to start over. Talking to parents, go through their rooms, see if we can find anything." Emma cleared as David put on his jacket, grabbing the keys to the cruiser.

"Let's go talk to the lost boys."

"We should probably stop calling them that."

##################

They pulled up to the shelter that was made after their return from Neverland. Nibs came out to greet the sheriffs. "Did you find Tootles yet?" He asks with hope written on his face.

"No, I'm sorry not yet." Nibs deflates at the news. "We are actually here, hoping, to talk to all of you guys about the night he went missing." David explained.

"Um yeah sure." Nibs lead them inside. After rounding everyone up, the questions started, but it was the same, he was asleep in his cot then the next morning he was gone.

"Is there anything of his we can see? A blanket, toy, anything special to him?" Emma asked grasping for anything now.

"Yeah he has a stuffed skunk that never leaves his side. I'll go look for it." One of the heavier set boys offered.

After fifteen minutes go by he comes back. A confused look on his face. "I can't find it anywhere."

"Curly, you're so dense you wouldn't see a bus if it hit you. I'll go get it." Stated another, running off to go find this elusive toy.

Another fifteen minutes goes by and he also comes back empty handed. "The bears right. It's gone."

Emma and David dismiss the lost boys with a thank you and a promise to find their missing friend. "You think it's a coincidence the toy went missing with the kid?" David asked his daughter.

"No but why? Why take the toy?"

"Why take the kid?" David asked in response.

It was same for the other kids too. They were there one day and the next gone. One of the kids had a jacket they bought all by themselves from money they earned, the other had a blanket from when they were a baby.

"Okay so we have someone coming in the middle of the night taking kids and their favorite thing." Emma recapped, after they got back to the station.

David nodded having nothing to add.

"We might have to ask Granny and Ruby to keep an eye out for new faces or suspicious behavior." Emma said not knowing where to go from here.

"We might be able to use them to track down the kids." David suggested.

"Might be worth a try since we can't use a locator spell."

"What's worth a try?" They heard making them turn to see Snow standing there holding Neil. "Sorry to interrupt I just thought you guys might want some lunch." Snow said walking into the station, baby in one arm and a bag from Granny's in the other.

David moved to greet his wife and youngest child, taking his son.

"Hey. Thanks mom." Emma smiled accepting the onion rings being handed to her as her mother started taking food out of the bag.

"Find the run aways yet?" She asks after they settled down to eat.

"No but we have a lead we are following up on." Emma answered smoothly not sure how much she wants to share with her. Mom shouldn't worry about anyone coming after Neil.

"How's house hunting?" Emma asked changing the subject.

"Great!" David responded as he feeds Neil a fry. "We found a farm house just outside of town. We just need to seal the deal."

"That's awesome. Tell me when it's done, we'll come over and help you pack." Emma mumbled with her mouthed full of grilled cheese. Their lunch continued, talking about everyday Storybrooke even after the food was gone. When Neil started nodding off Snow left so he could have his nap and Emma and David could go back to the curious case of the missing children.

####################################

Emma walked in her front door to a welcoming smell of food.

"Hey what's cooking?" She called as she took off her shoes and jacket.

"Some fish and potatoes." Responded her husband from the kitchen.

Emma followed the smell to find Killian crouched down checking on their dinner. Killian stood after he was satisfied with the progress the food was making. Smiling at his wife as he turned to greet her.

"Hello love." He welcomed as he approached her giving her a kiss. "How was the station? You find those runaways yet?"

Emma sighed "No and we got another kid missing. I don't think these are runaways."

Killians brow furrowed trying to understand what his wife was telling him. "You think someone is taking the children of Storybrooke?"

"That's what me and dad are trying to figure out. We talked to the families again and all the kids missing, their favorite thing is gone too."

"Why would they take them?"

"I don't know but we're going to find out. Before the school runs out of kids."

A ding was heard, signaling the food was done. "Well," Killian said as he turned around to get their dinner before it burned. "I'll be at the station tomorrow to help you figure this out but in the mean time let's relax and enjoy our dinner."

He plated their meal then placed one in front of Emma and the other for himself.

"Mmm maybe after dinner I'll do dessert." Emma said with a suggestive smile. Killian smiled sitting down across from his wife. "Now that's an idea."

##################

Hidden away in Storybrooke. Children sit in a large room filled with blankets and pillows, toys and games, TVs and books. All sitting in front of one TV watching an animated film half awake. In the back of the room sits a hooded figure watching the confused sheriff makes plans to find them.

"Poor clueless Sheriff Swan. You have no idea what is beginning."

It was one of the childrens crying that pulled the hooded figure away from the mirror. The picture of the sheriff faded for its glass.
