Disclaimer: Sorry it has taken so long to update! Here's chapter four, hope it was worth the wait! I own nothing but my ideas!

EPOV:

"Mom?" I asked as Mary Margaret hugged me to her and sobbed. "Oh, thank God. I thought I had lost you. Don't you ever do that to me again." She said as she squeezed me tighter. "Um…. Mom….. I can't breathe…" I choked.

She immediately loosens her grip but looks at me intently. "What were you thinking? Why would you ever do that to me?! Emma…. My Emma. I almost lost you before I ever had you back. Promise me you will not try to self-sacrifice yourself again." I sigh and roll my eyes. "But mom, if I hadn't done it then…" she cuts me off before I can even really get started. "I don't care. Promise me."

"Fine. I promise. I just wanted to say that I knew she was going to kill me, but here it doesn't matter. I did nothing wrong. I was totally innocent and any innocent blood shed here shall come back or some crap like that. I don't know. It was in some book I found researching the area. All part of my master plan. I just didn't think she would be so slow about killing me. I thought ZIP! A little magic and I would fall down dead, no big deal…" I say shrugging.

She pulls me against her again. "You're a nut case, you know that." I smile broadly at her. "Yeah, I know. I wasn't expecting to see Graham in the in-between. It's been two months since his death. He should have moved on by now, shouldn't he?" She frowns and cocks her head to the side. "There is only reason I can think of that that boy would still be in limbo for. If I'm right, things are about to change."

And with that she helped me off the ground, slowly and took me home to rest, and plot the next step in our plan against Regina.

GPOV:

"Why didn't you tell her why you were here warrior?" A slithery voice questioned as a woman stepped into view. I turned away from her. "Because, if I told her that and you didn't actually send me back then I will have broken her heart all over again. I'd rather her be surprised if I get to go back then in agony if I don't."

Eos laughed and changed shape into a little girl. "But you wouldn't want her to think that she was all alone in this would you warrior?"

I turned towards her angrily. "I am no warrior. Not yet at least. Let me go back and I will be. What is your game plan here?"

She gave me a sharp look. "Don't speak like that to me, warrior. I have no game plan. Not really. I'll send you back warrior. Just remember that I was merciful this time. The next time you meet me, I may not be so kind." And the world spun off into darkness.

EPOV:

That night I tried very hard to fall asleep. My mom offered to stay with me so that I wouldn't have nightmares but I sent her off. What was the point in us both being deprived of sleep? I knew that every time I closed my eyes all I would see was flashbacks of the day's events.

It was about three in the morning when I hear someone knock on our front door. I considered pretending I hadn't heard it, scared for a fraction of a second that it was Regina coming to seek revenge for my trick earlier in the day. Then I realized if that were the case, Regina would hardly be knocking on my mother's door.

I was walking out of my room when the person started banging incessantly on the door. Anger flaring I stormed into the living room, unlocked the door and flung it open. What I saw knocked the breath out of me and had me on the floor in tears in no time. "G…. Graham? Is that….. Oh my God…. Are you really…. Is that you?" I asked as I began sobbing into my hands.

He walked into the apartment, closed the door, and before I could process what was happening, had me against the door kissing me roughly. "Yes, it's me." He said before pressing his lips back to mine. I kissed him with a desperation I didn't realize I had. "Wha…. But how?" I whispered, afraid that if I spoke too loudly he would vanish again.

"I told you, people are only in the in-between if they have unfinished business. Well, you are my unfinished business." He said gruffly before pinning me between him and the door and kissing me again.
