Hi Everyone, this is my take on what i think would happen if the curse was broken and people started to remember, based after the Mad Hatter episode so spoilers up until that point. Not quiet sure where i'm gonna go with it just yet was just hit with inspiration i guess. Short first chapter, just really wanted it to end at that point, let me know what you think and if i should continue or not.

None of the characters belong to me i just like playing with them =D

Rated - T

Pairings - now that would be telling...

Emma was sat in her office staring into Mary Margaret's cell; she was back after escaping and being kidnapped by Jefferson or the Mad Hatter if she was to believe Henrys mad theory. Emma closed her eyes; she was back in that room with him, standing by the telescope telling him that she wished more than anything that she could believe that there was any kind of possibility that Mary Margaret was her mother. Was that true? Did she really feel that way? She wasn't sure, sometimes it was easier to imagine that all their lives really were fairy tales maybe then she wouldn't be so alone… she would have a family, parents people who loved her no matter what… it would mean she wasn't abandoned that her parents did love her and would have done anything to keep her safe, even giving her up.

But she couldn't believe, she couldn't let herself believe for second that that could be true. "Emma?" Mary Margaret called from her cell "Are you okay?" Emma opened her eyes and looked up at her roommate, her friend. "I'm fine, just been a long day" She replied as she stood from her chair "I'm gonna go get some food for us okay… won't be long" Emma grabbed her coat from the hook where Grahams jacket still hung and her car keys and left before Mary Margaret could ask anymore questions. She always knows when something's wrong Emma thought just like a real mom should… stop that she shook her head as she left the building and headed towards Granny's before she could reach her destination however something caught her eye. Regina was heading towards the hospital, she didn't know why but something didn't seem quite right to Emma, something was wrong she just couldn't quite figure out what.

All logical thought disappeared and Emma decided to follow Regina, she kept enough of a distance so that Regina could neither see or hear her, felt good to be doing this again, as a bail bondsperson she had regularly had to trail someone and not be seen doing so. Regina entered the hospital with Emma not far behind but instead of going towards a ward she instead headed towards a door marked EXIT and entered a code onto a push pad. Emma watched as she entered and the door closed behind her. Great whatcha gonna do now she thought to herself, she knew she should leave but it was obvious Regina was up to something and what if it was something that could help Mary Margaret she thought so she waited.

She didn't have to wait long after about 10 minutes Regina came out of the door accompanied by a women they both headed towards the entrance of the hospital, Emma could see the door slowly closing as soon as they were out of sight she could go for it. They turned the corner and she ran for the door grasping it just in time. As she walked through the door she came to a flight of stairs leading down, as she climbed down the steps she realised how foolish it was to do this alone, she had no back up, no one knew where she was. It's for Mary Margaret she thought. This was enough to cause her to press on when she eventually came to the bottom of the stairs she looked around, right in front of her was some sort of office and to the left was a hallway. She was about to start searching the office when she heard it, a women singing

"Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Bitter sweet and strange

Finding you can change

Learning you were wrong"

There was such sadness in her voice, Emma followed the sound and found herself stood in front of a cell. She opened the hatch on the door and peered inside, a girl was sat on the floor staring up at the sun through a window covered in bars. She turned at the sound of the hatch opening and looked at Emma with total and utter shock, "Help me" She said and in one swift movement was up and at the door "The evil queen she has me locked in here, I've done nothing wrong, please you have to help me"

"The evil queen?" Emma asks, the girl stairs at Emma for a second with a look of total amazement. "How can you not know of the evil queen, you are in her kingdom?" Okay Emma thought this whole fairytail things gone a bit far now, but wait… "How long has she kept you here?" Emma asked. The girl thought for a moment before answering "I don't know" She replied with all honesty "I've been here so long, I have no way of telling how long, I'm sorry, but please, please I need to get out of here!"

Emma dropped the hatch for a moment to think, she leaned against the door. What do I do? She asked herself This girls clearly insane but the same story as what Henrys been filling my head with? How is that possible?

Emma turned and opened the hatch "What's your name?" She asked. The girl looked at her for a second before replying "Belle, my names Belle"
