Hey everyone. Sorry about the huge delay in chapters. I've been moving and restarting school and working. The good news is I have the next few chapters written already I just need to type them up. Reviews always motivate me to type faster

Mistakes are mine as this is unbeta'd

I own only unrecognizable characters. If I did own OUAT One handed wonder and pinecone would have been gone for quite a while

Keegan jumped back in surprise as the lock completely disappeared and Emma smiled and moved to hug the young girl tight.

"Emma it's gone. Did I do that?"

"Yes baby you did. I am so proud of you."

Emma took a look down both ends of the corridor and then told Keegan to stay where she was as Emma pushed open the creaky cell door and walked down the hall towards the door where Cora and her men had left through. When she didn't see anyone she turned and went back to Keegan, who had not taken her eyes off of Emma the entire time. Crouching down to the little girls level Emma smiled at her.

"Alright sweetheart you ready to get out of here?"

Keegan couldn't help but smile brightly at Emma, making the blonde woman think that the child looked remarkably like Regina when she smiled. Taking the child's hands in hers, Emma stands and starts to lead Keegan out of the ceil and towards the door, making sure her body is between Keegan and anything that may try to stop them. When they reach he door Emma looks through one more time before she opens it. Once inside they are met with a room that splits into three separate hallways. Emma might not be able to use her magic but she can sense the magical energy in the air. Not wanting to take any chances Emma turns back to look at Keegan. Getting down on the girls level again, Emma places her hands on Keegans shoulders.

"Alright Keegan I need your help again. You remember that pile of rocks you and I made back in the cell?"

Seeing Keegan nod Emma continued,

"I need you to go back in there and get me three of them. Can you do that?"

Emma felt Keegan stiffen up underneath her hands at the prospect of having to leave her and the little girl shook her head as she threw her arms around Emma. Sighing, Emma held the little girl close and rubbed her back soothingly.

"I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you. I just need you to be brave and go back. I am going to stay here and make sure no one tries to come in here. I will be right here the entire time I promise."

Keegan took a deep breath and turned away from Emma and ran back to the cell, picked up a few rocks and ran as fast as her little legs could carry her back to Emmas waiting arms. Emma hugged the little girl before taking the rocks from her hands and placed Keegan behind her again. Taking one of the rocks Emma threw it into the hallway to her right. As soon as it passed the threshold a wall of flames rose into the air, causing Emma to jump and Keegan to yelp and cling to Emma's legs. Emma took a deep breath before tossing the next rock into the hallway directly in front of her, As soon as the rock hit the ground the walls of the tunnel began closing until there was no longer a hallway there, before opening up again. Looking at the last hallway on her left Emma took the little girl into her arms before tossing the last rock. When nothing happened after a few moments Emma took a deep breath and started walking down the hallway. Once she reached the end she turned and was met with two more doors. She tried summoning her magic again and this time she felt it bubbling at her fingertips. Setting Keegans down she tried to make a ball of light to use to look through the two doors. Before she could she heard Keegan gasp and looked up and noticed some of Cora's guards running in her direction. Looking down she noticed a very Regina-esque fire ball in her hand. Hurling it at the guards she shouted to Keegan.

"Baby girl I need you to close your eyes and hold on to me tight. Do not open your eyes and do not let go of me unless I tell you to."

Feeling Keegan grasp onto her leg Emma started throwing more fireballs at the guard. When there was a break she waved her hand in direction of the doors and both flung open, one opening to another hallway and one leading out of the castle. Not wanting to take her chances she grabbed Keegan and ran outside, slamming the door behind them. Using her magic to seal the door Emma looked at the terrified girl in her arms, Keegan was shaking and there were tears in her eyes. Using her thumb to wipe away the few tears that had escaped Emma smiled at Keegan and kissed her on the forehead.

"Alright little one I am going to get us out of here, do you trust me?"

Seeing the little girl nod, Emma thought of the one place she remembered most and the two disappeared in a cloud of white smoke.
