Chapter 8

When Anna Sophia comes to she is tied in a chair that is up against her sister's. They are both gagged and tied so she can't say anything but she could feel her sister's fear and her own. Suddenly, the door opens and Emma comes in and ungags and unties them. "What are you two doing here?" she asked

"We were trying to escape town and this guy grabbed Mary Margret. I scared him by shooting an arrow close to his arm and he did let her go but as we ran we tripped over a tree root and then we woke up are you doing here?" asked Anna Sophia

"I went out looking for you two." said Emma

The three of them walked out of the room together and as they turn a corner Jefferson is there with a gun "Well, I see you found Spot and Lucky."

"I just called for back up. They will be here any minute." said Emma

"You didn't call anyone for the same reason you lied to me you don't want anyone to know where you are. Which means they don't." said Jefferson

"Why are you doing this?" asked Anna Sophia

"Because I have to." said Jefferson "Now, Emma tie the girls back up."

"You aren't tying my sister and I back up. You think we're afraid of you because we're not. I was kidnapped by Mr. Gold not to long ago I survived that I'll survive anything and I'll make sure my friends survive to." said Anna Sophia

"That's all well and good but I don't need you and your sister, Snow White other than for motivation. I just need your daughter to make a hat that works so I can get home." said Jefferson

"Hat? O, you're the mad hatter. Well Jefferson Emma can't do it because she doesn't believe. I've been trying to get her to believe but it hasn't worked and I don't think you forcing her to make magic happen will make her believe." said Anna Sophia

"I'll make her believe even if we die waiting." said Jefferson "Now Emma, tie them back up."

Emma ties them back up and leaves with Jefferson. A little while later Emma runs back in the room and unties the girls. "Emma, look out!" yelled MM before Anna Sophia has a chance to be untied but Jefferson knocks them all onto the ground and Emma ties to reach for the Sophia and Mary Margret untie themselves and as Jefferson and Emma struggle on the floor Anna Sophia tries to pull Jefferson off of Emma. He pushes her towards the wall. Then he points his gun at Emma. "Off with his head." Jefferson says. Anna Sophia takes croquet mallet and swings at his head and chest and then she and Mary Margret both kick him out the window.

"Are you ok?" they asked Emma together

"I'm fine but you two have to stop talking in unison. It's starting to seem like you're the same person." said Emma

"We are" said Anna Sophia

They all look out the window. "I guess the hat worked." said Anna Sophia as they went outside and started looking for Jefferson

"No sign of him anywhere." said Emma "By the way have you been taking kick boxing?"

"I'm not sure where that came from." said Mary Margret

"I think I'm starting to rub off on you." said Anna Sophia

"Who was he?" asked Mary Margret

"Just a man trying to find happiness." said Anna Sophia

They walk over to the parking lot and find Emma's car.

"I guess you'll be taking me back sheriff." said MM

Emma throws her the keys. "I'm leaving it up to the two of you but I've done my share of running and it isn't easy. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about Anna Sophia." said Emma

"I do and I don't want to leave but if Mary Margret does I can't let her go alone. Family doesn't leave each other behind. " said Anna Sophia

"Why do you care so much anyway Emma?" asked MM

"Because when Regina framed me you were there. When I wanted to run with Henry you were there and told me that running was not the answer. Family doesn't leave each other behind… friends don't either. So, you have to trust me. I can get you through this." said Emma

Anna Sophia and Mary Margret get in the car and go back to the station. When they get there Emma puts them back in their cells and then leaves "Regina will be pissed when she sees we are still here. I'm sure she put those keys in our cells."

Mr. Gold enters the station "Good morning, girls. Lovely to see you back." said Gold

"Good morning, Mr. Gold." said MM

"Good morning, Gold." said Anna Sophia "It's great to be back."

Regina then enters the station and sees the girls in the cells.

"Good morning, Regina." they say together

Mr. Gold steps in front of her. " My clients are not seeing visitors right don't I show you out. " said Mr. Gold

Mr. Gold and Regina exit together

"Did you see that? Did you see the look Regina gave Gold the this wasn't part of the plan look? I think Gold is helping Regina frame us." said Anna Sophia

"He's our lawyer why would he do that?" asked MM

" Yes, but why is he our lawyer?" asked Anna Sophia "He said he was invested in our futures the last time he said something like that a prophecy about emma was born. I think he's invested because he made a deal with Regina so she'd let him off of his charges."

"You are being paranoid." said MM

"Like I was when I told you something bad would happen if we left town. And look what happened we got kidnapped. " said Anna Sophia "I'm telling you I don't trust Gold and you shouldn't either. Besides, I know Regina is doing this because of Daniel." said Anna Sophia

"You've said that before. Who is Daniel?" asked Mary Margret

"Her true love. " said Anna Sophia

"I don't get involved in her personal life but apparently you do so you should be going down for this not me. Now, it was a long night and I'm getting some rest." said MM

The next day, Anna Sophia wakes up and sees Regina sitting and staring at her "What hell are you doing here? Where's Emma?"

"She hasn't come in yet. I thought I'd give you and your sister a chance to confess and spare this town and yourselves a messiness of a trail." said Regina

"We didn't do anything and you know that. " said Anna Sophia

"True but whether you and/or your sister confess you are leaving Story brooke." said Regina

"Why do you enjoy that idea? What did we do to you?" asked MM

"Because I've always believed in justice." said Regina

"No you haven't. You believe in revenge. Now, Madam Mayor you are not getting any confession from my sister or I today or ever. It will be a cold day in hell when we admit that either of us did anything except try to be with the man we love. Now get the hell out of this station before I'm arrested for your murder!" snapped Anna Sophia

"See you in court." said Regina who leaves.

A few hours later Emma, Gold, MM, and AS are discussing a meeting with the DA. Both MM and AS agree to do then King George and Regina came in. "Excellent choice."

First Mary Margret goes in and Anna Sophia can tell through the glass window that she was crashing and burning. Finally it was Anna Sophia's turn.

"Miss Blanchard, your sister's testimony was very revealing let's see what yours is like. Miss Blanchard, I understand you have a record. How many times have you been arrested?" asked Spencer

" seven but I've only been convicted 3 times." said Anna Sophia

"When did you first meet Kathryn Nolan?" asked Spencer

"The night that David woke up from his coma." said Anna Sophia

"You were very angry when you found out the truth. Why?" asked Spencer

"I knew it was a sham because I didn't know David's real name but I hated John Doe so I called him David Nolan. I made up that name." said Anna Sophia

"Miss Blanchard, I'd call that a coincidence. " said Spencer

"I wouldn't." said Anna Sophia

"I understand that you had a similar incident to the one your sister did. Is it true that after your affair with Mr. Nolan … Kathryn Nolan came to your apartment to confront you?" asked Spencer

"Yes, that's true." said Anna Sophia

Was anyone else present?" asked Spencer

"Yes my best friend Ruby Lupis." said Anna Sophia

" And I understand that during this confrontation that Mrs. Nolan slapped you and called you a whore." said Spencer

"Yes that's true." said Anna Sophia

"That must have made you very angry." said Spencer

"I was but not with her though the slap did hurt. I was mad at David for not telling her the truth when MM and I asked him to and at the person I knew told her Regina Mills. Regina has been trying to keep my sister, David, and I apart ever since I remembered the truth." said Anna Sophia

"Which is?" asked the DA

" We're cursed all of us. I remembered after I kissed him but Mary Margret still doesn't remember and neither does David though he's our husband prince charming." said Anna Sophia

"The man you believe you're married to was with another woman that must have upset you greatly." said Spencer

"it did." said Anna Sophia "But this is not about her death this is about the mayor's grudge. She blames me and Mary Margret for the death of her boyfriend and that ,Mr. Spencer is the truth."

"Miss Blanchard, Mrs. Nolan is the only person in this town who was ever murdered and an insanity claim will not get you out of this."said Spencer

"I'm not insane and I'm not going to just roll over like that night when you made me tell David that I didn't love him so he could marry Kathryn and you could unite kingdoms with her father." said Anna Sophia "You trumped up jack ass,,, and you stop punishing us we didn't kill him… we didn't kill Daniel your mother did and you have no right to ruin our lives because of her actions!" yelled Anna Sophia approaching the one way mirror that Regina was watching her from" I can't believe after my sister and I have tried to help both you and Henry over the years you'd still act like this. I hope you die and burn in hell bitch and if it wasn't against the law I would murder you because you are the one that should be arrested for all the murders you've committed and for framing me! When this curse is broken you better run because a storm will be coming! You hear me a storm is coming!"

"I believe we're done here.' said Mr. Gold and escorts Anna Sophia back to her cell.

"Miss Blanchard, you've been in front of the DA you know that that is not acceptable behavior and until we are sure that Regina framed you and your sister we can't blame her for doing fact, that behavior just proves the exact opposite. " said Gold

"I've been in front of that man 7 times. I' am sick and tired of his manipulative crap. It's why Regina made him DA! He doesn't care about the truth, Mr. Gold. He cares about winning. " said Anna Sophia

" Miss Blanchard, unless you change this behavior I can no longer be your counsel." said Gold

"Fine, I didn't ask you to anyway and you are probably setting this up with Regina. You would do anything with anyone if there was something in it for you!" yelled Anna Sophia

" Anna Sophia, you aren't just hurting yourself if you act this way. You are taking me down with you and I'm not going down." said MM

" Everyone believes I did this even you! When I didn't do anything and Regina is the one who did everything. Operation Cobra is crashing and burning because of us." said Anna Sophia

"It's crashing and burning because of you." said MM

Henry enters the station "You two shouldn't fight. You're sisters. You have to work together." said Henry

"Henry, you shouldn't be here. Go home." said Anna Sophia

"But we have to figure out how to get both of you out of this. You can't get punished for trying to be with David." said Henry

"Henry, remember what I told you when I was arrested for endangering you in the mines." said Anna Sophia

"Yea, I remember." said Henry

"We have to follow a procedure if my sister and I are ever getting out of this. Even if she does believe that I'm the one that did this." said Anna Sophia

Henry looks over at Mary Margret shocked "You think that Anna Sophia killed Mrs. Nolan?"

"I'm sorry, Henry but it's really the only thing that makes sense." said MM

"Sometimes what makes sense isn't the truth." said Henry

"Boy has a point." said Anna Sophia

"Anna Sophia would never do this because you'd never do this." said Henry

" Henry… you need to go home." said Anna Sophia

"I believe both of you and I love you more than anything." said Henry

The next night, Mary Margret is crying in her cell and Anna Sophia is trying to comfort her when Regina enters "Having a bad day?"

"What are you doing here? Haven't you done enough relishing?" asked Anna Sophia

"I just want to enjoy this while I can because the trail starts tomorrow and it won't be a long one and I will never see either of you ever again." said Regina

" Regina, I don't know what I ever did to you but I'm sorry." said MM

"Apology not accepted." said Regina

" You're getting what you want just leave us alone." said Anna Sophia

"You dare talk to me after the things you said yesterday." asked Regina

"Regina, we don't deserve this. We didn't kill Kathryn." said MM

"I know. But you do deserve this. If you don't believe me just ask your sister." said Regina

"Telling a secret is not grounds for framing us for murder and I am sick and tired of you trying to ruin us… you've tried killing us, banishing us, poisoning us, cursing us to this damn place, and now you're trying to frame us for murder! This is ridiculous!" yelled Anna Sophia " Why can't you just be happy with your life?" asked Anna Sophia

"Because I lost my happiness because of you." said Regina "And I won't stop until my revenge is complete"

"You got happiness with Henry why can't adopting my grandson be enough for you?" asked Anna Sophia

"Because with you and your family around he isn't truly mine."said Regina

"What are talking about?" asked MM

"The truth."said AS

"Which you can't prove because no one will believe day, Miss Blanchard." said Regina as she walks out.

The next day MM and AS are put in handcuffs and taken away. At the courthouse, Anna Sophia and Mary Margret go up in front of the judge "Mary Margret and Anna Sophia Blanchard you are accused of kidnapping and murder of Kathryn Nolan how to do plead?" asked the judge

" Innocent, your honor." they say together

"Mr. Spencer, would you care to call your first witness?" asked the judge

Just then the doors burst open and Emma enters. "Your honor, I just found Kathryn Nolan alive in the parking lot behind Granny's. She is currently in the hospital. "

"In that case. Case dismissed." said the judge

Anna Sophia hugs and kisses Gold.
