"Swan! Swan! Don't do it!" Hook screamed from outside the enchanted mansion.

...

I have to go in there, Emma thought as she went closer and closer to the door. I have to get rid of these powers so that my family won't be hurt and then I can get home for hot chocolate and cinnamon. But no matter how fast the minutes went on, somehow she couldn't make herself go in through the door.

...

The minutes were making Hook feel even worse now that he couldn't exactly stop Emma from harming herself. He knew how stubborn she could be at times and this time it was probably going to not only hurt her family, but even if she survived her parents already knew that she was doing something alongside Rumple and so she would be in more trouble than she could ever imagine. One day I'm going to stop chasing this woman, Hook thought to himself.

Just as things were beginning to get worse Elsa managed to get over to the door and froze the handle before going in. Next stop, save Emma!

...

Inside the mansion, Emma was getting even closer to the door. The light from the magic within the Sorcerer's Hat was going making the mansion look like the light was going off and on, but Emma didn't know that this kind of dark magic was going to rip her from this world. You're nearly there, You're nearly there she began to tell herself. However, before Emma could bring herself to open the door, Elsa had finally made it in and started to run up to her.

"Emma stop!" Elsa said as she came closer to her new friend.

"Elsa what the Hell are you doing here? You have to leave, now!" Emma said knowing full well that she had just swore but making her excuse for that all the stress with the magic she couldn't control.

"I'm sorry. I can't let you do this." Elsa said.

"My powers are out of control, there's no other way. Please leave now!"

"No! You didn't give up on me when you nearly froze to death in that ice cave so I'm not giving up on you! I know how scary it is hurting someone you love, I've lived in fear of that my entire life, but giving up on your magic is not the answer. There is another way."

"Yea, you told me about how Anna's love saved you and that's great. But guess what? My version of that with Henry didn't work. This is all I have left." Emma said with a tiny bit of attitude before turning back towards the door.

Quick, Elsa, think! Elsa started thinking into herself. What could she do to stop Emma from getting into even more trouble or putting herself into danger? This wasn't the only way to find a way to be able to control her magic, even if Emma was planning on ridding herself off them completely so that she could save her family. Elsa would know that! She tried to do it and it ended up that she nearly killed her sister. She couldn't do that to the Charmings though. Snow had only recently had her son and had already lost Emma once so she was not going to do it to her again. It took another second for the best idea to come into her head and although she wasn't sure it would work, it was worth a try.

"I was wrong. It wasn't just Anna's love that saved me," Elsa said firmly as Emma started to turn around.

"What are you talking about?" Emma asked.

"When I landed in this strange town I was certain that without Anna I was doomed but I got control over my powers again without her."

"How," Emma asked before the light started to lose its power again.

"I didn't really know until today until the same thing happened to you and it finally hit me. It's not only Anna's love or Henry's that can save us. They accept us for who we are and that's important, but it's not enough. It's on us too. You have to love yourself Emma; the good, the bad. The only way to ever be in control of your powers is to embrace them, because this, this is who you are." Elsa said before putting her hand out for Emma to take.

"What are you doing?" Emma asked through fear.

"It's time to stop being afraid."

"But this could kill you."

"I'll take that risk if you will."

Although she was still doubting this, Emma decided she would take the chance. As she put her hand closer to Elsa's hand, Emma still felt light coming out of it, but as soon as the two hands touched, all the magic in the place cleared. After it cleared, Emma looked at Elsa relieved.

...

As the light went over the whole destination, the look of loss went over Rumple's face. Hook began to feel the ties around his arms loosening and as soon as they did, the look of enjoyment went over his face.

"No," Rumple said in a defeated voice.

"So I'm guessing she didn't go through then. Oh sorry, but I do love the look of loss on your face." Killian said while looking amused.

...

A few minutes had past, but Emma didn't know if she was happy to see the people she loved yet because of how she had hurt Henry and ran away from home. Not only that but she had hurt her father a few days ago and wasn't sure if he or her mother had forgiven her yet. Nevertheless, at least she was safe now and could at least try to ignore all the questions. Soon after those questions went through Emma's head she saw Killian rushing in and over so he could hug her and she ran towards him as well.

"Swan; are you alright?" Killian said relieved as he hugged Emma tightly.

"She didn't do it. She didn't take away her magic." Elsa said.

"I've never seen anyone so happy about me not doing something before."

At that, Killian took a step back and sighed into himself before looking into Emma's face again.

"It appears that you might actually be seeing two very angry people because while your parents are relieved they still aren't impressed."

Emma put her head down as she heard that but secretly knew why they probably are quite disappointed. She did run away from her problems and didn't exactly leave at the best time so there was at least a bit of confronting her future. As Emma got all her thoughts together, she was eventually able to leave with Killian and Elsa even though she was really regretting her decisions throughout the last couple of days.

...

David and Mary Margaret had been waiting for hours. They had already lost their baby girl once and neither of them wanted to go through that again. Both of them had regretted how they reacted the last time they saw Emma, but also had reached a new level of disappointment. For the next couple of minutes they gathered their thoughts as to what they were thinking concerning their daughter's behaviour and as soon as they saw her instantly hugged her.

"I'm sorry guys." Emma said while both her parents hugged her.

The hugs went on for a while longer and when they stopped Emma looks up just in time for her father to speak.

"Don't forget we love you no matter what." David said while looking Emma firmly in the eyes.

For the next few minutes the entire family, as well as Elsa and Killian, began to catch up with what happened throughout the last few days. However, soon after Henry was told to go back with Regina to her house and Emma knew more than well what that meant. As Henry left with Regina, David started giving Emma his best dad look so that she would get into the car, something she for once listened to.

...

The car ride home had been mostly quiet. Well, apart for Emma be scolded every now and again for looking over at Killian. Nevertheless, when they got back to the loft Emma knew she was in very big trouble.

"Sit." David ordered when everyone came in and Emma was just in front of the couch.

Emma instantly obeyed before she would be able to add anything else onto her punishment.

"Daddy I'm." Emma started but was cut off.

"You're in big trouble and are going to get punished? Yes you are! Emma; you don't put your life at risk and that is what deserves a consequence,"

"So you're going to punish the thirty year old sheriff?" Emma asked.

"Yes, and you are grounded to your mother and I until further notice, and when you're not with us you will be with someone else from around town. Killian; if you are with Emma while she's grounded DO NOT be doing anything I don't want you to do or I'll kill you." David said.

"You don't have to worry about me mate." Killian answered.

As David looked back onto Emma he could start feeling his disappointment fade. In all honesty he just wanted to hug her and show her how much he really loved her but he still had to finish the punishment.

"Emma, come over here!"

As she got up, Emma knew more less what was going to happen. Once in front of David Emma started to put her head down and was now beginning to feel ashamed of herself.

"You know how much I love you, right?" David asked.

"Yes daddy."

"And you know what led to this?"

"Yes."

"Please turn round Em."

Emma turned round and closed her eyes while she waited for what she was going to get, and then

Smack smack smack smack smack. Smack smack smack smack smack.

"You can turn back now honey." David said before seeing Emma turn round and there were tear stains in her eyes. This was enough to break David's heart and he pulled Emma into a tight hug before kissing her forehead and looking lovingly down on her.

"Love you baby girl."

"Love you too Daddy,"

"Now Emma, I want you straight up in your room right now and you're confined there for the rest of the night."

At that, Emma went straight up to her room and there were no problems for the rest of the night.
