Broken
AN: Hey there folks. Welcome to my new story. Giselle in this story is played by Amy Adams. I hope you all enjoy it.
Lady Giselle was once one of the most loyal knights to Snow White and Prince Charming. But, when the Evil Queen's Dark Curse struck The Enchanted Forest she was swept away with all the others and in Storybrooke she became Elle Knight, a forest ranger. She lived her life for twenty-eight years, never aging, never knowing anything was wrong.
Then, the day came when she Emma Swan broke the curse. She was at Granny's getting some lunch. It was her day off so she wasn't in her normal ranger uniform. She was wearing a blue blouse, black vest, black pants and black boots. She had just ordered when the magic wave hit. She looked around she remembered who she was. The last thing her old life remembered was she helped Snow get out of the bed she gave birth to Emma in and fought off the guards to get her to Prince Charming. But, when they got there it was too late. The Prince was dead and Emma was gone. The Evil Queen was there laughing. She told Snow the curse was taking them somewhere horrible where the only happy endings would be hers.
Giselle knew that Snow, Charming and Emma. She had to find them. She went to the door and saw purple smoke coming closer. "Oh Boy." She ducked down and let the fog wash over her. Soon it was gone. "What the?" She looked out in the street and saw Red and Granny hugging. Then, she saw Snow and Charming. She smiled and went to them. She smiled when she saw Snow face light up, "Giselle?" asked Snow White. But, in this land she was Mary Margaret Blanchard.
Giselle nodded and bowed, "At your service, Your Highness …" The two women hugged.
Then, Prince Charming walked over. In this world, he was known as David Nolan, "It's good to see you, Giselle."
Giselle smiled as they hugged, "Likewise, Your Highness."
Just then she heard a male voice say, "Your Highness." She broke the hug with David and saw the Seven Dwarfs there. Mary Margaret walked up to them and they shared a group hug.
"The curse… It's broken?" asked Grumpy, who was known as Leroy.
"Well, it appears so," said David.
"So, what do we do now?" asked Giselle.
"Now? Now I find my daughter," said Snow.
"So, it's true," said a voice.
They turned and saw Emma there with Henry. Mary Margaret slowly approached her daughter. She started to cry and hugged her daughter, "You found us," said Mary Margaret. Then, David wrapped his arms around his wife and daughter. Giselle wiped a tear from her eye. She was so happy.
"Grandpa?" said Henry as he spoke up.
Mary Margaret laughs as they broke the hug and David smiled, "Yeah, kid. I suppose so," then he hugged Henry.
Mary Margaret saw Giselle and motioned her over, "Emma, Henry… I'd like to introduce you to someone… This is Lady Giselle… One of our most loyal knights back home."
"A female knight?" asked Emma.
"The Enchanted Forest is a more progressive kingdom than some of the kingdoms in this world," she said.
"Cool," said Henry.
Giselle smiled. Then, Leroy stepped forward, "I've got a question. If Emma broke the curse, then why are we still here?"
"That, my friend, is an excellent question," said David.
Mr. Clark sneezed, "And what was that smoke?"
"Who did this?" asked Doc.
"And what was that smoke?" asked Bashful.
"And why?" asked Walter.
"And what was that smoke?" asked Happy.
"Magic," said Mother Superior, as she joined the group, "It's here. I can feel it." Mary Margaret took the woman's hand.
"Magic?" asked Henry, "In Storybrooke? But you're the Blue Fairy. Do something magical."
"It's not quite that simple, Henry. No wand. No Fairy Dust. Matters are complicated now."
"Let's go to the person responsible for bringing it," said Leroy, "the Queen." The other dwarves nodded in agreement.
"No. Wait," said Emma, "It wasn't Regina."
The group stared walking down the street, "Is there anything that you wanted to ask us? I mean, you must have question," said Mary Margaret.
"The only questions I have are for Mr. Gold," said Emma, "Why did he double-cross me, and what did he do to this town?"
"Uh... Shouldn't we talk about "it" first?"
"What?" asked Emma.
"Us. Your life. Everything?" said Mary Margaret.
"Can we do "everything" maybe later? Like, with a glass of wine. Or... several... bottles."
"I know it's a lot to take in. For all of us," said David.
"And we don't want to push, but we've waited for this moment for so long..." said Mary Margaret.
"Yeah, so have I!" said Emma, "I've thought about this moment my entire life. I've imagined who you might be. But of all the scenarios that I concocted, my parents being... I-I just need a little time. That's... that's all."
Just then they heard a commotion, "Snow," said David. They looked ahead and saw a group of townspeople lead by Dr. Whale running through the streets. "
Then Archie ran up to them, "There you are. Come with me, I need your help. Dr. Whale's whipped everyone into a frenzy. They're going to Regina's house. They're gonna kill her!"
"Great, let's watch," said Leroy.
"No," said Giselle, "No, we can't stoop to her level. No matter who she is or what she's done, killing her is wrong."
"She's right," said Henry. He looked at Emma, "Please. She's still my mom."
Emma looked at Mary Margaret, "We have to stop them."
"If the Blue Fairy is Right," said David, "Regina could have her powers back. They could be marching into a slaughter." He and Mary Margaret looked at each other and nodded then the group started running down the street.
When they got to Regina's house, the mob had surrounded Regina and Dr. Whale had her pinned against one of the columns. Emma and Giselle pushed their ways through the crowd, "Let her go!" said Emma as they reached Dr. Whale and she grabbed his arm and pulled her off of the Queen.
"Why should I listen to you?" aside Dr. Whale.
"Because I am still the Sheriff," said Emma.
"Because she saved you. All of you!" said David.
"And because no matter what Regina did, it does not justify this!" said Giselle.
"We are not murderers here," said Emma.
"Well, we're not from this world," said Dr. Whale.
"Yeah, well, you're in it now," said Emma.
Giselle stepped up and put herself between Dr. Whale and Regina, "Okay, Dr. Whale. That's enough…"
"Back off! You're not my protector," said Dr. Whale.
David stepped up and said, "Who are you, Whale?"
"That's my business."
"Well, my business is making sure this town doesn't go to hell. We have a lot to figure out. And this isn't the way to do it."
Mary Margaret stepped next to Regina, "And Regina's death won't provide any answers. She needs to be locked up. For her safety, and more importantly, for ours."
Emma, Giselle, Mary Margaret and Henry watched as David locked Regina in a cell as the Sheriff's station, "So, I'm a prisoner now?" asked Regina.
"If the curse is broken, why didn't we go back?" asked David.
"Because there's nothing to go back to. That land is gone."
"We should get to Gold," said Mary Margaret. Then, the group walked out of the station.
Giselle, David and Mary Margaret watched as Emma loaded Henry into Ruby's car, "Keep him safe, Ruby." Said Emma then Ruby drove off. David and Mary Margaret had wanted Giselle to go with them but she refused her tell them that her place was next to the two of them.
"Don't push it, Snow," said David.
"He's right," said Giselle, "You need to give Emma a little time. This can't be easy for her."
"Don't worry," said Mary Margaret, "I've got this…"
"You guys ready?" asked Emma.
"We need to talk."
Giselle rolled her eyes.
"I- Well, I don't... I just- I don't wanna talk," said Emma.
"But I do, okay? Gold can wait. I can't. You're my daughter. And I wanna talk to you. I know that we have talked. But we didn't know that we were talking. And we talked about things we probably shouldn't have even talked about. One-night stands and the like."
"One-night stands?" asked David.
"Whale," said Mary Margaret.
"Whale?" said David and Giselle.
"We were cursed. That is neither here nor there. The point is, we did not know that we were mother and daughter. And now we do. And, so, please, let's talk."
"Okay. What do you want to talk about?" said Emma.
"We're together, finally. And I can't help but think you're not happy about it," said Mary Margaret.
"Oh, I am. But, see, here's the thing. No matter what the circumstances, for 28 years I only knew one thing, that my parents sent me away."
"We did that to give you your best chance."
"You did it for everyone. Because that's who you are. Leaders, heroes, princes and princesses. And that's great and amazing, and wonderful, but it doesn't change the fact that for most of my life, I've been alone."
"But if we hadn't sent you away, you would've been cursed, too."
"But we would've been together. Which curse is worse?" There was a pause and Emma said, "Come on. Let's just... Let's go find Gold."
The group headed into Mr. Gold's shop as he was making tea. He looked up and saw Emma, David, Mary Margaret and Giselle, "What can I do for you?" he asked.
"What you can do is tell us what you did," said Emma.
"I'm sorry, you're gonna have to be more specific."
"You know damn well what we're talking about," said David.
"You double-crossed Emma and Travis, you, uh, took your—uh—potion from her," said Mary Margaret.
"And did who-knows-what to this town," said Giselle.
"And worst of all you risked Henry's life," said Emma.
"Well, that is quite a litany of grievances, now, isn't it?" asked Mr. Gold
"Maybe I don't need answers," said Emma, "Maybe I just need to punch you in the face."
"Oh," Mr. Gold laughed, "Really, dearie?" he came around from behind the counter, "Allow me to answer your questions with some of my own, all right? Did your dear boy, Henry, survive?"
"Yeah."
"Is the curse broken? And let's see here, Miss Swan, how long have you been searching for your parents? Looks like you're reunited. Seems like rather a punch in the face, I deserve a thank-you."
"Twist Emma's words all you want, Dark One," said Giselle, who wished she had her sword, "what was the purple haze that you brought?"
"You know," said Mr. Gold, "Magic."
"Why?" asked Mary Margaret.
"Not telling."
Then there was a rumbling and the store shook, "What the hell was that?" asked Emma. David and Mary Margaret looked out the door window. They could hear something wailing and a strong wind blew long main street. Then the street lights flickered and sparked.
"That is my gift to you," said Mr. Gold, "That is gonna take care of Regina."
"Emma, come on!" said Mary Margaret.
"We need to go take care of this," said David.
"We're not done," said Emma.
"Oh, I know. You still owe me a favor," said Mr. Gold. Then, the group ran out.
When they got to the station they saw a black creature trying to suck Regina's soul out of her body.
David grabbed a chair and shouted, "Hey!" David tried to hit it with the chair, but the creature sent it flying across the room. David then attempted to attack the creature and but it just sent him flying.
Mary Margaret and Giselle moved forward but the creature moved a desk and they had to step back. The desk then continued toward David who just missed it. Then it went back to sucking Regina's soul out of her body.
Giselle grabbed a spray can and a lighter and walked up to the creature, "Over here!" she called as she used the spray can and lighter as a makeshift flamethrower. The creature then crashed through a window and flew away.
Emma went to check on Regina, "What the hell was that thing?" asked Emma.
"A Wraith," said Regina, "A soul sucker."
"Did I-" Giselle started to ask.
"-Kill it? No. It's regenerating. It'll be back. It doesn't stop until it devours its prey." Regina showed them the mark on her hand, "Me."
"So, how do we kill it?" asked Emma.
"There's no way. Can't kill something that's already dead."
"Then we have a problem," said Anna.
"No, we don't. Regina does," said Giselle.
"What?" asked Regina.
"Giselle?" said Mary Margaret.
"You wanna let her die?" asked Emma.
"Why not? Then it goes away," said David, "Then we're safe."
"That's quite the example you're setting for your daughter, there," said Regina.
"No. You don't get to judge us!"
"Let me ask you something, where do you think that thing came from? Gold."
"I made a promise to Henry," said Emma, "She's not dying."
"If it can't be killed, what do you suggest?" asked Giselle.
"Send it somewhere it can't hurt anyone," said Regina.
The group headed to Town Hall. Regina said she had a hat they could use to send the creature away. David, Mary Margaret and Giselle had brooms to use as torches.
"So, how does it work?" asked Mary Margaret.
"It will open a portal to our land," said Regina, as she set the hat on the floor, "All we have to do is send the Wraith in there."
"Oh, yeah, just that," said David.
"I thought you said our land was gone," said Giselle. David started lighting the brooms.
"It is," said Regina, "But sending it to a place that no longer exists... Well, that's banishing it to oblivion." She got ready to spin the hat when the lights started to flicker and they could hear the Wraith's wailing.
"Regina..." said Emma.
Regina continued to try spinning the hat, "I'm trying." The doors to the main hall blew open and the Wraith entered the main hall. David and Giselle were holding torches on one side of a railing. While Regina continued to spin the hat with Emma and Mary Margareton the other side.
"Regina," said Emma.
"I know," said Regina.
David and Giselle stepped forward and slashed at the wraith with their brooms. Mary Margaret grabbed a bottle of alcohol and poured alcohol along the railing, "David!'
David pulled the railing together and lit it with his torch, "Hurry!"
"It's not working," said Regina as she continued to spin the hat. David and Giselle continued to keep the wraith back as best they could.
"What is the problem?" asked Emma.
"Magic. It's different here."
"Now would be the time!" said Giselle.
Emma touched Regina's arm. Then, the hat started to spin, opening a portal. David and Giselle knocked back against the wall and the Wraith headed for Regina who was standing between it and the portal with Emma.
"It's coming!" said David.
"Regina!" said Emma, as she pushed Regina out of the way. The Wraith was sucked into the portal, but as it disappeared it grabbed Emma ankles and pulled her into the portal.
"NO!" shouted Mary Margaret, David and Giselle.
"I'm not losing her again!" said Mary Margaret.
"Neither am I," said David.
"You're not going without me!" shouted Giselle, as she and David got to their feet. Mary Margaret jumped into the portal. Giselle got to her feet faster than David and easily jumped over the railing and into the portal. But, David was just a second late. As he jumped over the railing, the portal closed and David landed on the hat, crushing it.
The last thing Giselle remembered she was flying through the portal, then everything went black. Her head was spinning as she heard someone say, "Get up!" She looked up and saw a couple of women she didn't recognize. An Asian woman in armor and a woman with dark hair in a long dress. "You three will pay for what you did to Prince Philip," said the Asian woman, who was pointing a sword at them. Giselle sat up and saw Emma and Snow. Their hands were tied as well. Giselle knew she had to bide her time. She had to protect her princesses and if she made the wrong move they none of them would make it back to Storybrooke.
AN: I know there's wasn't a lot of Giselle in this chapter. But, I plan for her to be a big part of future chapters. If you like this story. Review, Favorite and Follow. It gives me motivation to keep going.
