Author's Note: Hi! This is my first Once Upon a Time story. I've been wanting to write one for a while now, and this is what came out. This is the scene where Emma loses control of hervmagic from 4x07 from her POV. I hope you like it!

Alone.

I've had too much expierience with that word.

I've been alone most of my life. A good 28 years of it. Sure, I had the foster families, but they weren't really family. For the longest time, it was just me. Emma Swan, completely on her own.

But, everything changed when Henry showed up at my door. Suddenly, I had a son, I had parents. I had a home, even if I didn't believe it at first. I'm not saying it was all immeadietly sunshine and roses; it's never been sunshine and roses. But, even in the midst of curses, and being a "savior", it's nice to know that you're loved. It's a priceless feeling, to be a part of a family.

But, I wasn't a part of them today. I hurt them today.

I barely know what happened. It happened too quickly to comprehend.

When I walked in there to interrogate the Snow Queen, I was well aware of what she could do with words. I saw how easily she got to Elsa and I told myself that I wasn't going to let her do that to me. She's a psychopath who has a way with words. As long as I could keep that in mind, I could keep my cool.

And, I was able to keep it in for a while. I'll admit that saying that what she told me bothered me would be an understatment. But, I managed to remind myself that she wanted me to get upset, so I wouldn't give her what she wanted.

"And now, they've chosen to have another child, and don't you think that they thank their lucky stars every day that he was born normal?"

She went too far.

"They love me." I growled. I noticed the water boiling like my temper, but I ignored it.

"You can't love somebody you don't understand,"

Shut up.

"And you know what happens when people don't undersand something? They learn to fear it."

Shut up!

"And then, they learn to look at it like a monster!"

"SHUT UP!"

That's when I lost it. All of the anger boiling up inside of me escaped and exploded, taking the wall of the sherriff's station along with it. Sparks flew from my hands and my stomach churned.

"This is you, Emma, and it's beautiful." The Snow Queen told me.

She's wrong about so many things, including that. It's not beautiful; it's dangerous.

With that, she disappeared, leaving me alone with the damage I'd done.

I couldn't believe that I'd done that. I know I've never really been top notch with my powers, but I've never done anything like that. I was in shock. I was scared. No, I was terrified. Could I really do that?

Then, everyone came rushing over. Killian, Henry, Mary Margret, David, Elsa, Belle, Mr. Gold. I still felt out of control. I just imagined if the brick wall hadn't been a brick wall; what if it had been one of them?

Killian immeadietly blamed the Snow Queen for the destruction. It was hard to tell him that it was me. It was even harder to watch their reactions. They all looked so worried. I did that to them.

"Just keep your distance!" I warned. "I don't know if I can control myself; I don't want to hurt anyone."

But, instead of listening, they came closer, saying things like, "It's okay, Emma." and, "We can help you." But, they couldn't help me, and it was anything but okay. I felt it boiling up inside of me again.

"Just stay away,"

Then, completely putting himself in danger, Killian grabbed my still-burning hand.

"Let me go!" I shouted, flinging my hand away.

I could only watch as my magic shot toward the pole, making sparks fly everywhere and causing the lampost to fall. It was headed straight for Killian, but David pushed him out of the way. If the world was perfect, both of them would have tumbled out of the way just in time. But, I know more than well enough that the world is not perfect. The pole hit his shoulder. He was hurt. Because of me.

"David!" Mary Margret cried, rushing to his side.

I walked toward him, wanting to help, but I stopped myself. I could only hurt him more.

Then, my mother looked at me with a mixture of fear and anger in her eyes. "Emma!"

That's when I realized that the Snow Queen was right about one thing; they were afraid of me. They weren't before, but look what I'd done now. I nearly killed David. They had good reason to fear me. I was dangerous. No, I am dangerous.

"Emma," Mary Margret repeated, sounding more sympathetic.

I backed away. They came toward me again, but this time I ran. I ran to my car and drove away. I drove as fast and as far as I could. As long as I wasn't near anyone, I couldn't hurt anyone else.

So, now I'm here. Far away. Emma Swan, completely on her own.

Alone.

Author's Note: So, how was it? Horrible? Not horrible? Cool? (Pun intended.) (Pun intended within the pun.) Reviews are much appreciated! *hint,hint* I may write this scene from another character's POV, if people like this one. Anyway, thanks for reading!
