~Two Years Ago~

Regina removed a box from her vault of hearts, and took out a heart and crushed it hard. Graham fell to the floor, and lay lifeless and still. Emma broke into tears crying as she looked for a pulse, or a heartbeat and found nothing, he was not breathing, he was dead. Graham was gone.

Emma stood at the graveyard as they all buried Graham. Tears poured down her face as she turned and walked away. She walked to the tavern where she sat and buried herself into a glass of Champagne trying to dull the pain of what had just happened. Emma drank one glass after another one until Henry walked in.

"Emma stop doing this to yourself, your better then this, Graham wouldn't want you to be unhappy, he would want you to move on, come on Emma I need you functional, if my mom finds out your drinking like this she may never let me see you again!" he begged her.

Emma sighed and stood up and paid her tab and followed him out the door.

Later she went to Gold after receiving a call from him, where he offered her Grahams things which she flatly refused deciding she didn't want them. But then Gold told her about the possibility of her becoming Sheriff now that Graham was gone.

~Present Day~

Emma woke with a start from her dream, but why after the last two years was she dreaming about Graham? It had been two years since he had died, so why now? Emma sighed it didn't matter she decided, he was gone, and would never come back, dreaming about him would not change the fact that he was dead. But she felt extremely guilty now that she was in love with Hook.

She sighed and got out of bed and went down stairs for a drink, she really wanted Hook but she highly doubted that would happen any time soon. He was probably in bed, and probably deep asleep unaware that she needed him at that moment just like her parents probably didn't know she was awake so early in the morning.

Emma slowly poured herself a glass of Rum, and drank deeply, trying to forget about the dream, she was being stupid, just because she had dreamed of him meant nothing. But she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

She threw on her jacket and headed out the door. She would visit the grave sight then come back just to assure herself everything was fine, she was sure, that it wouldn't take but a couple of minutes to see it and then go home again.

She was sure the dream meant nothing but knew she would not be able to rest until she had made sure of that. Her Instinct told her something was wrong, the dream made her nervous she had to know. Had to know why that dream had come to her after two years of him being dead.

But when she reached the grave sight she froze, her eyes fixed on the spot where the mound had been. For there in the center of it a large dark hole stood out, and the casket was open and empty, not a bone was left, Graham's body was not in the box.

She screamed, somebody had taken his body but why? Why would somebody pillage his grave sight? Where was the body? Where was Graham? She saw footprints leading away from destroyed grave. Emma drew her sword and followed them determined to find out what had happened, to find out who had disturbed his body. She would find him and put his body back down to rest.

But she needed help, and she knew that, she would not be able to do this alone, she would need some help to find this guy, she needed to get a hold of David.

"Dad? Can you hear me?" she asked into her walkie talkie. "Emma what are you doing?" He asked patiently.

" I need you something's happened, and I'm down at the grave yard, I need you now! Somebody has pillaged and destroyed one of the graves!"

"Hold on Emma, I'm on my way, wait there for me don't try to go after the pillager on your own!" he ordered her.

Emma waited trying to use her flashlight to follow it, just then it happened, a hand reached out and grabbed her arm.

Emma jumped with a shriek that she was sure would have woken the who town of Storybrooke, but when she turned she saw that it had only been..

"Hook! You idiot you should know better then to sneak up on a person this late at night!" she snapped hitting him across the shoulder.

Hook of course only laughed, "What frightened of the devilishly handsome pirate are you? I saw you walk by the Inn, and I was wondering why you were out so late so I came to keep you company and find out what was wrong!"

Emma sighed and pointed to the grave, "Somebody came here and pillaged the grave where Graham who had first made me deputy here was laying and now his body has disappeared and I called my father to come help me find who ever did this."

Emma felt tears start fresh one as sobs started.

Hook quickly pulled her into his arms and held her tight.

"Emma, it's okay we'll find who ever did this, and we'll punish the purpetrator, they will pay for what they did. I promise who ever did this will pay. It's going to be okay your father will be here soon and we'll find them, I'll help, I'll lend you my assistance.

Emma sobbed hard into his arms and was still upset when David showed up. "What's wrong with Emma?" He asked suddenly.

"She got upset over the grave destruction, I think this brought up old pain old memories from her past, from whenever this grave was first dug!" Hook responded holding her tighter.

"Come on Emma lets go get this son of a Bitch!" Hook suggested angrily.
