Graham feels tugging on his wrist and ankles. He tries to struggle but is stuck. The bed against his back is hard. He was about to give up when he heard crying and screaming. It was her.

"Emma!," he yells.

"Graham!,"

He tries with al his might to get freed from the chains but still he is stuck. The yelling stops and then that women walks in. Her smirk is crooked and blood drips from hands. She walks towards him.

"This is all your fault," she laughs, "You thought you could just forget your punishment. You are mine and now she has suffered for it."

"What have you done to her!"

"What I should of done long ago. I killed her and now you are mine," she says getting on the bed.

"No," he mouths unable to speak. She couldn't have killed her. His sweet Emma. Gone. The Evil Queen places her hands on his face. No he couldn't do this again. The blood that was on her hands smears his face. She leans in closely and barges her lips with his. It felt like venom. He tries to back away. "I am not your slave anymore," he says. She cackles.

"You will always be mine," she says before forcing into him. Pure terror comes inside of him. He has lost everything again. She is gone because of him and once again his freedom is gone.

"GRAHAM!" he wakes up gasping for air. He looks over to a very scared Emma. His arms fly around her. "Graham whats wrong? You were rustling and screaming my name,"

"She killed you because of me," he manages to get out, "I was trapped and heard her kill you and then she came for me and…" he swallows the lump in his throat. "Was going to force me to awful things with her again." Emma had never seen Graham so scared. Emma pulls him closer.

"Graham I'm fine. I'm never going leave you or let her get us again," He just breathes heavily. He pulls away to look at Emma. He was trembling and hates. He hates fear so much. She looks at him with her big hazel eyes ands runs her hand through his untamed hair. He knew he had to protect her.

They finally go downstairs around and see Snow.

"Good morning you two," Snow says happily coming over. She observes Graham shaking and seems to have sickly look to his face. "Graham, are you alright?" placing her hand on his head to see if he is hot.

"I'm fine," he's says trying his best smile.

Emma hates knowing how much pain he's been through. Snow gives Emma a look knowing he isn't fine. Her father enters the room.

"Good morning all," he walks to his daughter. "You haven't forgotten what today is," Graham looks at Emma.

"What's today?" he asks.

"Today we have a meeting about how we are planning to deal with the queen. You are welcome to come. You have great aim and would be a great addition," Charming says.

"Yes I would love to," Graham says without hesitation.

"No," Emma says bluntly. All eyes go to her.

"No?" Charming asks.

"No he is not joining. I'm not going to watch him get hurt again,"

"Yet I'm suppose to let you get hurt and be fine with it," Graham responds.

"I can handle myself."

"So can I Emma. I managed myself before I met you. This isn't up for a discussion." Before Emma could say another word Charming steps in.

"Okay guys calm down," he steps between them. "Emma sweetie. I know how you feel. God your mother always goes off on the adventures and as much as you want to protect them you sometimes gotta let them fight as well," Charming says placing his hand on her shoulder but she jerks it off. She stomps away. None of them no how hard it was to see him die. She was there and she lost him. She knew she was overreacting and knew nothing would hurt him more than to trap him away but she couldn't help it. Tears start to fall from her face.

Graham watched her walk away hitting himself inside. All he wants is her safety. Snow gives a sympathetic look before chasing after her daughter. Both Charming and Graham let out a hard sigh.

Graham goes to the meeting with Charming. They arrive at a hidden tiny building with only one room. They are the first ones there. The room eventually fills. He sees many people but wasn't close to anyone of them so he sits in the back by himself. Then she arrives with Snow. She looked upset but didn't even look at him.

Great his nightmare was becoming real. He was losing her.

"Okay let's get this meeting started," Charming says making the room silent. "We all are here to plan how we are going to find Regina and what we are going to do to her," The Blue Fairy comes forward.

"We've been hearing things that she is extremely angry and is planning revenge. Apparently she also wants her son back,"

"Well that bitch is not laying another finger on him," Emma shouts. She gets disapproving looks from both her parents.

"We won't let her Emma," Charming says trying to calm her down, "Now we are going to need our best trackers. That would be Emma,Red, and Graham," Charming deep down likes Emma and Graham together. He even considers Graham a friend so he just wanted to give them a push into working things out. Graham wants Emma to look back at him so badly just so he can see she isn't completely gone from him but she doest budge. The meeting eventually ends. Apparently he,Emma, and Red were suppose to start trying to find the location of Rumpelstiltskin tomorrow. He doesn't really know because he was pretty distracted. He barely notices Snow walking towards him. Graham knows Snow can read people well so he didn't try to fake a smile.

"Graham, you and Emma should talk. She wants to but you know how stubborn she is. You are one of the few people who have broke her walls down I would hate for her to lose you." Snow stays.

"I'll try," he says with a half-smile on his face.

Emma goes back to the castle feeling so lonely. She knows she's overreacting she just never wants to have that feeling of losing him again.

"Hey Mom," Henry says. Henry eyes are always filled with hope and tries his best to always have a smile. She will never stop regretting letting him go as a baby.

"Hey kid, whatcha up to,"

"Oh nothing much it's been pretty boring with everyone gone at the meeting," He wasn't suppose to know about it but then again he is a smart kid she figured he'd find out. "Where's Graham,"

"I'm not really sure,"

"Are you two fighting,"

She sighs at her son knowing her so well.

"Yes. How bout you and I do something fun,"

"Okay. I saw some bow and arrows and I wanted to try them out,"

They both try to shoot arrows at an apple they set up about fifteen feet away as a target. They both keep missing. Emma was retrieving some of the arrows when an arrow fly right pass her going right through the apple knocking it over. Her head whips back to see Henry next to Graham who had the bow in his hand.

"You could have hit me," she yells with trying hard not to smile because they have had this conversation before.

"I never miss," he yells back with a tiny smile.

She walks over to them.

"I think I need to go get ready for dinner," Henry says smirking.

Then it was just Emma and Graham they stood silently until Graham takes Snow's advice.

"Emma I'm sorry I was so rude. It's just with that dream last night it felt so real, I just want to get rid of her and start over with you in our new story."

"You weren't the one who through a huge hissy-fit. I know how you feel about hearing me die. I was in the same situation not to long ago. I can't lose you again" her voice cracked. She is trying so hard to keep her tough exterior up but Graham always crashes them down. Graham gazes back at her with those big puppy dog eyes. " But I know what would be worse for you is trapping you in a cage even if I'm trying to protect you. I'm not in charge of your life and I think we both been a good amount of same situations to realize we need each other to look out for each other. I'm sorry." she chokes before going into his arms. He presses his lips against her forehead.

"I love you," he blurts out. Emma stares back at him. Her throat seems to close and she can't speak. Graham realizes it's hard for her to express how she feels. "You might not feel or be able to say it yet but I just wanted you to know," Her heart wants to yell that she loves him but her mind keeps telling her not to get to close. She nods her head and smiles. She grabs his hand tightly and the two walk towards the castle.

Regina watches the couple through her mirror and begins to smirk.

"Emma Swan you will pay for what you've stolen from me,"
