Chapter 2

Meanwhile in the Charming household

How had this happened? We were getting along so well. Thought Snow.

When Emma had finally regained consciousness she seemed fine. Maybe a little dazed nut relatively fine. There was just one problem, she couldn't remember anything. She didn't remember the curse, or Henry. She didn't even remember Mary Margaret. Emma still thought that she was in the 90's.

"David, how did this happen? Why'd she run?" Snow said worriedly. It was extremely cold outside. (It's around November/December). She didn't even have a coat.

"I don't know Snow. Maybe she doesn't like men. As soon as she saw me she bolted." David said. He was a little hurt that his little girl ran from him. As soon as Snow called him saying that Emma was a 13 year old he came home as fast as he could. He couldn't believe that that Emma, his "little girl" actually became a little girl. That just made him all the more protective of her.

"Come on Snow. She couldn't have gotten far. If we hurry we could catch her." David said as he grabbed his keys and made his way to the door. Snow was right behind him with Neal in tow. (Neal is about 5)

There minds only focused on one thing.

Finding Emma.

Emma's POV

Don't stop Emma don't stop. Keep going. She chanted to herself. Emma sprinted onto Main Street, ignoring the aching in her legs. She had to find a hiding place and fast. It wasn't helping that this town was practically deserted. I blindly run into some sort of Diner.

Good job Emma. It seems that you found the local hangout.

The diner, of course was Granny's.

Emma hurriedly sat down in a booth as far away from the door as possible. She strategically placed herself so she could watch the door, and run out the back if needed.

Ruby's POV

Well what are the odds. Ruby thought.

Snow had just called her and explained the whole situation to her. As a matter of fact, Snow and James called almost everybody on their contact list.

I quickly shot Snow a quick text saying that Emma was in the diner.

I then cautiously approached the girl. The last thing I needed to do was scare her off.

"Would you like something to eat?" I asked

"No, but may I have something to drink?" The girl asked very politely.

"Yes of course. We have apple juice, orange juice, soda, mil…"

" Do you have cocoa?" The girl said as she interrupted.

"Yes we do. Who should I put it under?" I asked very casually.

"Mary. My name is Mary." She said a little to fast.

I automatically knew that it was a fake name. The girl looked exactly like the Emma we all knew before. She was just a much smaller version.

"I'll have that right out for you. Would you like cinnamon on it?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

"Yes please." Said "Mary"

I purposely took a long time making her cocoa. I wanted to give Snow a chance to get here. Oh and look at that there she is. I better go block the back doo so "Mary" can't run.

Emma's POV

Oh crap, their here.

Emma got up and raced towards the back door, but Ruby was in her way.

"Alright lady get out of the way. I don't want to hurt you." Emma said dangerously.

"No way Emma." Said Red

"How do you know my name?" Emma said. Her voice laced with surprise and fear.

Ruby didn't reply to this. She just stood there with a smirk on her face.

"I'll ask you one more time Ms. Waitress. Please move out of the way." Emma said with surprising strength.

By now the whole dinner was watching the exchange. They were also watching Snow and Charming slowly come up behind Emma. Of course Emma noticed this. It took her one second to react. Ruby took as step towards Emma in a hope to stop her, but it was to late. Emma sidestepped her Ruby and pushed her into the Charming family with surprising strength. Neal of course rushed from the door to help his parents and Aunt Red, but by then it was too late. Emma wrenched the door open and was gone.

Hey guys sorry this update took so long. I just wasn't really in the mood to write. Hopefully the next chapter will be up sooner.
