Chapter 1 Aftershock.
It's only been a few hours since the destruction of Storybrooke. Yet the shock hasn't set in yet. The few survivors find themselves looking for shelter. It already began to rain heavily knowing they needed to rest and there are still people to heal. Zelena conjures multiple tents for people to stay in. In David's arms lies Daniel unconscious. David can't help but cringe it's not right for anyone to be in a coma lifeless especially a child.
"Dearies, this is the best shelter I can come up with," Zelena tells the other survivors.
"It will do thank you," Red says not even smiling all she could think about is her Granny. The woman that raised her is dead saving her granddaughter. When it came to Red, Granny never thought about herself it was only Red, she cared about.
"Since the Evil Queen and Robin Hood is dead. Is it safe to assume the castle is empty?" Emma asks.
"I'm not sure we'll find out when we get there," Regina replied.
"We need to heal everyone that is still injured." Emma reminds Regina and Zelena.
"Everyone in your tents. We'll heal one at a time. I think you should heal your parents first." Regina instructed. Seconds later the survivors chose tents to stay in and walk into their chosen tents to be healed.
Now in a tent, David lays Daniel down on the floor. Henry and Lucy are sharing a tent together. While Snow, David, Daniel and Emma are in another. Emma first goes up to her mother and waves her hand over Snow's injuries using her light magic to heal them. Before doing the same for her father.
"Better?" Emma asked. Snow nodded giving a non-verbal response.
"Yeah," David replies.
"It doesn't seem right does it. Neal just lying over there eyes closed unconscious with the possibility of never waking up. I promised to protect him, I promised to be the best big sister I could be. As the Savior, I've saved countless people. But when it came to Neal, I failed him." Emma said feeling incredibly guilty. David rests his hands on Emma's shoulders before speaking.
"Emma, you didn't fail Neal. George got the better of us it's my responsibility to protect our family. Neal will wake up even if I have to track down the creator of the amulet and force he or she to wake Neal up. And when he does wake up we will be here for Neal, we won't lose him again." David tells his daughter.
"It's our responsibility to protect each other David. George stole our baby and took away the majority of his childhood. When he wakes up we will give him what George took." Snow spoke.
"I should head to the other tents," Emma says.
"You should I'll watch Neal while David sleeps we'll take turns." Snow replied. Emma nods before leaving the tent.
Regina is in Henry and Lucy's tent and has just finished healing her son and granddaughter. Regina can't help but feel deeply sorry for her son and granddaughter. Henry lost a wife while Lucy lost a mother.
"All better," Regina said.
"No, it's not Mom is gone and her killer has gotten away with it," Lucy replied.
"George is gone Lucy, he will never be able to hurt anyone again," Regina tells Lucy.
"Not just George, Neal modified the Device he made the Device immune to everyone's but his magic. Neal destroyed our home." Lucy snapped it hurt like hell to see her mother sacrifice herself to save her. A tree burst out from the ground from underneath Jacinda and Lucy's feet. Jacinda could feel the ground about to crumble. Jacinda acted fast pushing Lucy into Henry. But didn't have time to move herself and the ground beneath her burst and a tree flew from the ground ripping through Jacinda's body killing her in seconds.
"Neal never wanted to hurt us, George backed him into a corner," Regina says.
"Aren't you mad Dad, he killed Mom, your wife," Lucy asked.
"Lucy, I am mad I'm furious that woman I loved your mother is no longer with us. But George activated the Device and sure right now I hate Neal for modifying the Device. But these are the moments right before the shock settles in the time before we are capable of processing what just happened." Henry said.
In another tent, we have fully healed Fairies. However, the Fairies are in mourning their leader Blue is dead. Blue died trying to get patients out of the hospital and to safety. Blue couldn't teleport every patient out to safety at one time she had to do it floor by floor. Three floors before the ground floor when the floor above her collapsed in shock Blue froze and is hit by a large chunk of the ceiling and in her small fairy form is squished!
"With Blue gone, we don't have a leader," Tinkerbell says.
"As much as I hate to admit not having a fairy superior is risky. Now that we're back in Enchanted Forest, we need to spread our light magic." A fairy spoke.
"We'll worry about that tomorrow. Tonight we remember Blue." Tinkerbell replied.
