Emma didn't know what to do. She was leading against an old tree, trying to calm herself before she could do something about all this. She just wanted to go home, where everything was normal, where Killian is by her side, where Henry and Neal are safe, and her parents are still in love. But she wasn't giving up, not yet. She fought too hard for her family disappear like this. She will find Lily and make her break the curse, no matter what it takes.

She needed to head back to Regina's castle, if Lily is in the Enchanted Forest, she must be there. But first Emma needed a drink, or a few.

After a while, she returned to the tavern. The same women notice how exhausted she was, afraid to ask what happened, she gave her right away the bottle of rum. She stayed at the tavern a lot longer than she expected. But neither the booze could take her angry away, or her sadness. Only made her sadder and more tired. She should sleep, she didn't recall the last time she slept more than two hours.

"Excuse me, do you know some place where I can crash just for the night?" she asked the women

"We have a few rooms in the back, just go to that door" She said pointing to a white dirty door at the end of the bar "And you can get yourself a room darling."

"Thanks." She said

"Do you want the rest of the bottle?"

"I can have the rest." Killian appeared and sit beside Emma smirking at the women, who was clearly mad at him.

"Look who the tide bring. Captain Jones." She said annoyed

"Hello Nia. How you doing tonight?"

Emma was almost paralyzed, she kept staring at Killian.

"Cut the crap."

"Aye, lovely as always."

Killian looked at Emma, who was starring too hard at him. Some part of Emma wanted to kiss him, maybe a true love kiss could break this curse.

"I wasn't expecting finding you again.

"I only know this tavern so."

"I never saw you here. What's your name?"

"Emma Swan."

"You clearly know mine so may I ask you how you know me?"

"I know you because I love you and you love me. I mean we've been through a lot of crazy stuff, and scary. I know you because I'm your wife, how can I forget you?" Emma thought

"Are you alright darling?" Killian asked, breaking Emma silence

"I heard, you are quite famous I guess."

This was the old Killian, the pirate. Who doesn't care about anyone else besides himself. The old Killian that always loved a good women and a bottle of rum. If Emma was going to kiss him she needed to get him drunk, and then maybe she could break the course.

"Indeed. So what are you doing here?" Killian never took his eyes off her and she was glad he didn't.

"Just passing by. " Emma approached him gently, without making it clear that she was flirting wit him

Killian touched his mouth and then looked up at her again. Emma recognize this move, he always do this when he is trying to flirt with her, or someone else, or when he's nervous.

"That's a big sword you have in there." Killian pointed to Emma belt

"I kind borrow it. A girl needs to take care of herself."

Killian approached her too, they were too close almost kissing each other. Everything was working as Emma planed until something trigged Killian, who pulled back and looked at his glass.

This wasn't the old Killian. The old Killian had kissed her right in that moment, that's for sure. Why he pushed her away?

"I better get home, it's late." He said looking at her again

"Are you going to leave a bored lady when it's clearly not late enough?"

"You are exhausted, your barely keep your eyes open and I can feel that you may fall out at any time." He said smiling

This Killian started to look a lot alike her Killian. The one that she fell in love with. Maybe she doesn't need him drunk to make him kiss her.

"You're right. And I feel more awful that I look, trust me." Emma relaxed a little

"May I ask you what happened?"

Killian couldn't stand look at her, for some reason she makes him feel empty, but she also pushes him back to her, somehow. He was hoping she would find her here, so he came back to the tavern hoping she was here with a glass of her hand. He couldn't understand this urge that he had for meeting this women.

"It's a long long history."

"Good, I didn't planed anything for tonight." He laughed, and she laughed too, this was probably the only happy moment she had since she woke up here.

"Do you believe in magic?"

"Yes, I do."

"Well that was a stupid question of course you do." Emma continued "So I'm not from this realm, I mean I am but I'm also not from here."

"What you mean?" asked Killian confused

"Never mind. I'm stuck in here, and I don't belong here. I need to find the queen and make her stop the curse so I can go home."

"I'm sorry love but we don't have a queen, not since The Evil Queen."

"For some reason no one remembers her but believe me she is here and she is trying to destroy everything that I love."

"I wish I could help Emma." Killian meant that.

"I will figure this out. I always do."

"Aye, I believe you do."

Killian may not remember her but he's still the same and Emma love him at any time, in any world actually, so just being next to him makes her feel better, with more hope.

"Who's the lucky one?" Killian pointed to her engaged ring

Emma laughed a little, he had no idea that he was the one who purpose her. Maybe Emma could tell him the truth, maybe he would understand. The last time they were in a situation like this he helped her, he sacrificed himself for her without even knowing who she was. Maybe this time wasn't much different. Maybe their love was strong enough to break the limitations of time and space.

Emma opened his mouth ready to say that it was him who gave her the ring. He was the lucky one. But a women entered the tavern and walked straight to Killian.

"Oh I wasn't expecting you love." Killian kissed her, he was really happy to see her

In a heartbeat Emma stood in front of them. Looking at them, feeling her heart break into millions of pieces. Killian was so happy to see this women.

"This is Milah." Killian said

"Hello." Milah said

"Hi." Emma said right away "I better go to bed. Nice to meet you both."

Killian was confused, what just happened in there?

Emma opened the door that Nia indicated her, then she turned to right and open the first door she saw. It was a simple room, with a small bed and some blankets and nothing else. Emma fell down to the bed, exhausted and so, so freaking sad. She couldn't stop thinking about Killian face looking at Milah. He was so in love. But what did she expect, she knew how Killian fell about her, but she was dead.

How can she be alive? Emma didn't had a chance if Milah was alive.

Milah.

Killian's first love. Her life may be so different since she didn't died. Happier maybe.

She just wanted to wake up from this bad dream, wake up in her comfy and warm apartment and drink some hot chocolate with cinnamon with Henry and Killian, while her parents were taking care of Neal. Emma missed her father, if he was here he would say something that would make her feel good, or make fun of Hook, like he always do. I hope Regina found my father and my little brother, Emma thought.

Emma fell asleep crying, wishing she wasn't alone.

Emma opened her eyes, hoping this was only a bad dream, but it wasn't. She was in the same room, with the same clothes, and her eyes were killing her. She stared at the mirror, she even looks more awful than last night, if that was even possible. She left the room searching for a bathroom, which was in the end of the wall. She toke a quick shower, cleaning the dirt of the forest of her face, and hopefully will made her seemed more alive, and not like someone who came back from the dead.

After that she returned to the tavern, now empty and quiet. No one was here besides the owner that was screaming at Nia. He discovered that the money was stolen and he was blaming her, typical.

Emma sat down in the same place that she was last night and asked for something to eat. Nia, angry at her boss, gave her some sticky soup that Emma eat gladly since the only thing she had in her stomach was rum.

"Rough night?" Nia asked

"You have no idea."

"I'm not surprised, and I bet Jones was the problem. That bastard."

"What he did to you?"

"He broke my heart, twice."

"Of course he did." Emma said softly

When Emma finished her meal she remembered she had no money to pay. Her money didn't work in this place. Nia was a nice girl but after hearing from her boss, she wouldn't let this pass. The only way was run, like she used to.

"Don't worry darling, you don't need to run. Jones payed your stay and your breakfast too. Such a sweetheart isn't he?" Nia said right away "I know your look. The one that is ready to run away." Nia smiled and started to clean the rest of the tables before the tavern opened again

Emma was relief at least she didn't needed to become a thief again. She should thank Killian but she know if she sees him again she probably will start acting strange. How couldn't she?

Emma made sure she still had the sword in her belt and then carry on, in another adventure into the woods. Back to where she started. It was the only way to make this right, to find the rest of her family and find Lily and punch the crap of her.

The streets were practically desert, Emma didn't know what time it was but it should be nearly in the morning, that would explain why no one was on the streets. She walked by the docks, hoping she would find Killian and see him one last time, but the only thing she saw was some fishermen's and no sign of Killian neither the Jolly Roger.

Emma kept walking deeper and deeper in the forest, with the sword now in her hand.

Emma heard someone breaking a branch, in a second she turns back to see if anyone was there. Emma's breathing quickens lot, and it is difficult to hear but she remains alert, with the sword pointed forward.

Someone appear in the middle of the forest, right in front of her. It the girl she saw at the tavern. In the exact moment she notice that Emma has a sword pointed at her, she jumps and put your hands in front of his face.

"What are you doing?" She asks

Emma put down the sword and saves it in her belt. The girl rest her hands and sighed of relief, then she approached Emma and gives her hand, trying to introduce herself.

"I won't bite." She says "I'm Angelica."

Emma's mind couldn't stop thinking about this girl and how she may be some part of Lily's plan. But she gives her hand too and shakes it. "I'm Emma."

"Nice sword you have, but you won't need it with me. I can assure you."

"You are the girl that I saw in the tavern."

"Stealing. You can say the word." She smiled "Why you didn't stopped me? Or tell the owner?"

"I was too much tired to get into more problems. I still am. Where's your partner in crime?"

"We split the money and carry on with our lives. That was a one-time thing."

Emma's super power in telling if people were lying to her never failed, and this girl was definitively lying to Emma.

"Do you need company?" Angelica asked

"I do better on my own."

"Like me, but right now I'm bored and I wouldn't mind keeping you company."

"If you insist."

Angelica was quiet most of the time, probably trying to clear her head too. Emma sensed that something was wrong about her, or with her, and the only reason she wanted to go with Emma was to run away from her own problems. Emma could recognize this pattern in any time, any place.

They walked for hours without saying anything to each other. Emma was also too busy in her own thoughts, which were driving her insane. She missed the quiet in Storybrooke, running and crossing deep forests weren't the thing she loved the most.

Soon was night and Emma thought it was better to make a camp and a bonfire before one of them falls into a deadly trap. Angelica had some bread that shared with Emma before they started getting sleepy.

"I don't usual like getting involve, but you were lying before." Emma said looking at Angelica that was in front of her, with the bonfire between them.

"What you mean?"

"About your partner."

Angelica looked right at Emma, for some reason she felt connect to her, more than she ever felt with anyone else in this world. Why she should continue lying about this to her? It was clear that she knew the truth, somehow.

"He left me, and took the money with him."

"Are you in love with him?" Emma didn't want to get more involved but she couldn't stop herself from seeing the person she was in Angelica. And she wanted to help her, just to ensure she had someone who cares about her. Like Emma never had.

"I know him since we were little kids, we grown up together. And yes, we became thieves together. And that worked for a long time until yesterday. He left me without even saying goodbye, or why." Angelica looked down, like she was ashamed of herself "But it's my fault I should know better than trust in a thief, someone like me."

"You are wrong, believe me. I've been where you are, or even worse. And I thought that was my fault for trusting in someone, but you just trusted the wrong person. Trusting in the right person is worth the risk."

"What happened to you?" Angelica looked again at Emma with a curious face.

Emma sighed, she didn't want to bring back the past but for some reason she felt like Angelica deserved to know this. Emma was still the Savior and her job was bring back the happy endings, and Angelica really needed one.

"I was an orphan for a long, long time. And I knew better than to trust people because everyone, include my parents let me down at that time. I was completely alone when I met this guy, who was a thief. Just like me." Emma stopped a little, like it was still too painful to talk about it "I loved him and I believe he loved me too, and I trusted him with all my heart. And one time he got into some trouble and I helped him recovery something that he stole. He left with that thing and someone catch me, and he got away. I was locked down for months, and he was out there."

"That was awful. I'm sorry to hear that."

"At the moment I was so angry with myself and with that guy. It was crazy. And I never trusted anyone again."

"Why do I sense a happy ending at the end?" Angelica smiled a little

"I found my parents, and I have a son that wouldn't exist if I didn't met that guy, and been through that hell."

"I'm happy for you. I truly am." Angelica looked at Emma, with those broken and alone eyes.

"If finding love again worry's you I can promised that will happen."

"Do you find someone after that bastard?"
Emma laughed. "Yes I do. I'm married to him actually."

"For a lost girl you've been really far."

"Lost girls can find their way back." Emma winked at her

Angelica smiled. Hearing those words from someone who seemed exactly like her gave her hope. And the only thing a Lost Girl needs is true hope.
