It turned out that the sound was a creature that had come to this land due to being caught up in the curse and and for some reason it's cry was affecting Emma, what they didn't know was that the creature had forged a bond with Emma and that is why it was effecting her, while they were watching the creature they hadn't noticed Emma had arrived and was heading towards the creature the closer she got to it the less the pain she felt when she was touching the creature which turned out to be a gryphon the pain had stopped completely as she healed what was wrong with him as a think you he took Emma for a flight above the town. Emma while looking down at Storybrooke knew she had to break the curse soon, she just didn't know how.

Days went by and there was still no clue as to how Emma was to break the curse and it was frustrating her to no end Elsa sensing her sisters distress entered the living room and saw that Emma was getting a headache by the way her head was in her hands so she went over and removed Emma's hands and put her own on her sisters temples and began to rub them in slow circles Emma started to relax and rested her back against Elsa about 15 minutes later Emma's headache was gone.

"Thanks Els." Emma said with a contented sigh, her sister always knew what she wanted even without using their connection.

"Anything for you Ems."

Emma and Elsa were counting down the months till next year when they would turn 18 for Elsa it was exciting but for Emma it was about breaking the curse on everyone else and that day couldn't come fast enough for her.

After moths of waiting Emma and Elsa's 18th birthday had arrived and Emma was wondering how she was going to break the curse because all the years of research had ended in her finding nothing whatsoever and it troubled her deeply.

The party was in full swing and everyone was enjoying themselves and Emma and Elsa were having a blast and they were both getting the same amount of attention so they didn't have a repeat of last time, Emma loved how she and Elsa were dressed the same and so for the party she kept wearing the blue dress and shoes that Elsa had used her magic to make for her and her hair stayed braided.

When everyone was distracted a hooded figure slipped a sleeping curse into Emma's drink (what Rumplestiltskin didn't tell Emma was that to break the curse someone would need to wake Emma up from a sleeping curse) Emma took a sip and immediately collapsed.

"Mamma? Papa? Regina?" Elsa cried out when she saw her sister collapse.

Snow, David and Regina turn and saw Elsa holding Emma's head in her lap, and they rushed over to them.

"Elsa sweetie what happened?" Snow asked.

"I don't know one second she was fine and talking then she took a sip of her drink and instantly collapsed." Elsa said with tears streaming down her face as she looked at her sisters still form.

"Emma can you hear me sweetie? If you can hear me open your eyes." Snow tried to coax her daughters eyes open but it was not working and Snow turned to Regina.

"Regina it looks like a sleeping curse."

Regina used a spell to check for a sleeping curse.

"I'm afraid Snow that it is indeed a sleeping curse it must have been slipped into her drink when no one was looking. Elsa did Emma ever leave her drink unattended at anytime?"

"No she had it in her hand at all times."

"She must not have been looking when it was slipped in then the person who put the sleeping curse in Emma's drink was able to slip away without being noticed when everyone was distracted." Regina explained.

Snow raised her head when she had a thought.

"What about true loves kiss? It will work I know it will."

Regina leant down and kissed Emma on her still lips and there was a wave of light and everyone remembered who they were as the curse broke a gasp escaped Emma's lips as she woke up and her Caribbean blue eyes met dreamy brown ones and a smile graced her mouth.

"Rumple was wrong it wasn't me it was you, you broke the curse."

"Now, now dearie she was only part of the solution but by you going under a sleeping curse it created a gateway for the curse to break your true love's kiss was just the closing of the circuit." Rumplestiltskin said suddenly appearing.

"You! It was you! You slipped Emma the sleeping curse!" David was infuriated and lunged for Rumplestiltskin grabbing him by the front of the shirt.

"It had to be done otherwise everyone would still be oblivious dearie." Rumple chuckled.

"Give me one good reason what I shouldn't beat the crap out of you right now." David threatened.

"Papa please just take me home." Emma said weakly.

"Papa, Emma is weak right now and needs to rest. She needs to be at home we can deal with him later."
