Hi! This is my first Once upon a time fanfiction, so please go easy on me. This will be an one-shot, possibly a two-shot, if I get enough reviews telling me to do so. Lastly, this will take place during the time period that the curse isn't broken.
Emma POV
Emma tip-toed out of her room, still shaking from her rather gruesome nightmare.
As she groped around in the darkness for a light switch, Emma shuddered, remembering how she had ruefully kil- well, she rather would've not have to relive it right now, thank you very much.
Her hand finally found a switch, making Emma's eyes squint in the harsh light. She quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
There it was, sitting atop her small pile of boxes in the living room. Now, Emma would never let anyone know, not even Mary Margaret, that she still possessed a security blanket but she still found herself aching for it.
Yes, she, Emma Swan, the Sheriff, still had a blanket. She only slept with it when she was truly shaken up, of course.
So now Emma was here, slowly reminiscing in the frayed but soft end of her blanket. Hearing Mary Margaret's soft groans, Emma snatched the blanket and silently ran back to her room.
Once successfully entering the bedroom, she laid down on top of the other sheets, and wrapped the white blanket over her.
Emma quietly grumbled to herself when something cold and hard hit her in the waist.
She groped around uselessly until Emma flicked on the bedside lamp Mary Margaret had given her.
Almost immediately, her warm hand again hit cold metal. As Emma picked up the mystery object, she revealed it to be a necklace. A rather pretty one, in fact.
It had a faintly glowing bronze chain, which seemed to be emitting a sort of power. There was a golfball sized emerald chunk glittering on the end, polished into a smooth globe shape.
Emma examined the garment for a few seconds before realizing it was a locket. She hesitated a moment before reaching towards her bedside table to grasp a paper clip.
Prying it open, a yellowing piece of paper fluttered out on to her lap. It was folded, and clearly read Emma on the part facing upwards.
The untidy yet flowing scrawl was undoubtably Mary Margaret's. Slowly, and with shaking hands, Emma opened the letter.
Dear Emma,
This letter along with the necklace was intended to arrive through your blanket at a time you needed support. If you never opened it, it would simply dissolve right back into your magical blanket. Anyway, I am writing this letter because of something Jiminy announced tonight, at our meeting. He told us that the wardrobe can only take one. After that, I couldn't help but wonder if my baby girl came a bit too early and had to take the treacherous journey through the wardrobe alone. It makes my heart ache just thinking about it. So, in an attempt to ease my conscience, I shall write this letter. Easy, right? Not as easy as you might think. I have so much to say, I'm going to need a bigger piece of paper. And a bigger locket. So let me just say three little words: I love you. Never forget that.
Love,
Snow White, your loving mother
Emma's breath nearly stopped at the end. Her heart was pounding so loudly against her chest, Emma was surprised that Mary Margaret wasn't already awake.
Calm down, she told herself. It's probably just some trick of Henry's. As much as Emma loved the boy, she had to admit that he was getting a bit obsessed.
But some small, rebellious part of her mind began listing the reasons it couldn't be Henry.
It was clearly Mary Margaret's handwriting!-Henry could be able to mimic it!
How could Henry place the necklace on the blanket? He hasn't been here all day!-He could of put it there earlier in the week!
You always have felt something hard when you were sad in the blanket!-Just my imagination!
So thus, a war began in her mind, raging until a comforting thought won the battle: I guess he has kind of looked guilty last time I saw him.
With that, Emma fell asleep, only to secretly find that deep down, she wished that it wasn't Henry who had placed the locket there. She wished Snow White had.
So please review! They make my day! Thank you for reading, and extra thanks if you reviewed! :)
