Emma's Point of View

"W-W-What's he talking about?" I questioned.

Mary Margaret stepped in front of me as I waited for someone to speak.

"Answer me!" I demanded.

None of them took me on and I was getting angrier.

"Miss Swan your parents here seem to remember who they are and for some reason reluctant to tell you. I wonder why that is? Maybe you are a disappointment to them." Jefferson sneered.

I glared at him as I pushed my way in front of Mary Margaret and David. They both tried to get me back behind them but I was too quick. I now stood in between them and the mad man.

"Tell me what he is talking about. Do you buy into this fairy tale stuff? I mean seriously?" I pressed.

Mary Margaret's eyes filled up as she exchanged a look with David.

"We didn't want you to find out like this…..Emma this whole situation it is…" David began but Jefferson cut him off.

I had almost forgot he was there until I felt him wrap his strong arm around my neck.

"Times up Miss Swan. Ask you parents, or friends whatever you want to call them to leave. You haven't finished my hat and you aren't going anywhere until you do." He whispered to me.

"Guys you should listen to him." I mumbled unable to make eye contact.

"Emma we are not going to leave you here!" Mary Margaret argued.

"Why not? If what you are all saying is true you left me in a wardrobe to go off to some land far away. You didn't even know where in the world it was but hey I was only a baby, no really lose there!" I snapped.

"Enough of this!" Jefferson yelled.

"You two are going nowhere." He hissed.

Jefferson then proceeded to put the gun to my head.

"Follow me or I shot your precious daughter." He threatened.


Mary Margaret and David exchanged worried looks but didn't argue. They followed Jefferson who still had a tight grip on into one of the bedrooms. He had two seats sitting back to back.

"Sit." He ordered.

Both Mary Margaret and David obediently sat down on the chairs. Once seated Jefferson tossed me a rope.

"Tie them up." He instructed.

"It's three against one, we can take you." I said as he released me.

"Oh do try Miss Swan, I'm not afraid to use this." He smirked waving the gun as he did.

"Emma, please don't do anything stupid." Mary Margaret begged as I leaned down next to her.

"I'm not a little kid." I snapped.

I then tied both her and David up. Once I was finished Jefferson pulled me from the room.


Mary Margaret's Point of View

"Well this is going well." I complained as I struggled against the ropes.

"I know, but at least Emma knows now." David replied.

I could feel him pulling against the ropes also.

"Knows? David, Emma was better not knowing the truth, she wasn't ready. She hates us now, thinks we are crazy." I sighed.

David didn't get the chance to reply as a loud gunshot echoed through the house.


"Oh god." I cried.

David began to pull harder on the ropes and the loosened slightly. However not before the bedroom door was yanked open.

"Emma?" I gasped in relief.

Emma didn't say a word as she raced over and untied us quickly. As soon as she had us freed I through my arms around her. It was then I felt the blood on her arm.

"He shot you?" I questioned.

"It's fine, just a graze. Come on we need to get out of here now!" She insisted.

Nodding in response I allowed her to pull me after her. David followed close behind. As we crept out of the house there was no sign of Jefferson. It was like he vanished into thin air.

"Where did he go?" I asked.

Emma was looking around, a look of shock on her face. I followed her eye line and say she was staring at a hat on the ground. Walking over she quickly picked it up.


"No way…." She whispered.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I walked up along side her.

Emma suddenly became uncomfortable as she stepped away slightly.

"N-N-Nothing. Come on you need to be back in the cell before Regina comes to visit." She said.

Emma began walking to her car as David and myself hung back.

"Don't you want to talk about it?" David pressed.

"What's there to talk about? I mean you were lying right? To keep the crazy man calm?" Emma replied, acting like everything was normal again.

Not waiting for an answer she got into her car.

"She is in denial." I sighed.

"How do we get to her to belief?" David replied.

"I guess we have to trust in our grandson. I mean he got her to stay here in the first place." I said before getting in the bright yellow bug…
