Author's Note: Wasn't the premiere amazing?! Anna and Elsa are spot on. So watching the promo and those BTS pics inspired me to write this. As well as the new title for these collection of one-shots, I've decided to name it 'Be Patient'. You guys know why.
Also again, if you guys have any requests that you would like me to write (as long as it has something to do with the upcoming episodes) then I would love to write them, well I will try to. Well I'll let you start reading...

White Out
Emma:
"Hey kid. What are you doing here?" She asks walking over to Henry. Ever since that snow monster incident he hasn't said very much. The diner was empty, not even Granny or Ruby were around. Everything was packed up but the lights were still on. She sat on the stool next to him.
"Oh, I just thought-"
"That you could have some time alone?" She finished his sentence. He looked down. "Sorry Henry but this family is too big for you to ever be alone." She pats him on the back. "Hey what's really wrong?"
"Do you think that my mum, my other mum will go back to how she was before? Do you think she will go back to being evil?" She knew the question would pop up sometime. She sighed putting her hands on the bench.
"She's come too far to go back. She loves you too much to ever go back to being completely evil. She's just heartbroken at the moment." She reassures her son.
"I don't want to loose her again." She sees that he is in pain and hugs him.
"You won't loose her again, I promise." They stay in that position for a while until the lights flicker on and off. She immediately sits up. The lights flicker until they go completely off.
"What's happening?" Henry asks also sitting up.
"I'm not sure. But it better not be another Frosty snow monster." She says standing up. She pulls her phone out of her pocket and dials her father.
"Hey David, are you experiencing a black out at the moment?" She asks looking out the window. Every street lamp and light is turned off.
"Yeah, I'm guessing you are too? It doesn't look like another snow monster so that's good." He replies. "Exactly where are you?"
"At Granny's with Henry. I guess it's just a regular blackout then." She suddenly hears baby Neal crying on the other side of the line. She winces. "Got your hands full?" She asks.
"Yep, got to go." He hangs up and she puts her phone back in her pocket.
"Well kid what about we head back to the apartment and get dessert?" He smiles wide and it makes her smile.
"Ice-cream with chocolate topping and a lot of sprinkles?" He asks getting out of his seat.
"I think I'm done with the cold today, but you can have one. If everything is still working at home." She says putting an arm around her son.
The next morning she wakes up to a crying baby. Not her usual alarm. She groans and turns to see what time it was... Her phone didn't charge, and now it was dead. She checked the analog clock across the room. 7:15am. Not too bad for a baby wake up call, you've got to appreciate the irony though.
"Emma!" Her mother calls from downstairs. "Someone's here to see you!" Who would wake up at 7:15 just to see her? Oh right...
She goes down stairs dressed and ready for the day and is greeted by a pirate. "Good morning love." He smiles at her and she gives him a forced smile.
"Hey Killian." She says grabbing for the breakfast her parents managed to make her. Which was just bread with spread on it. "Still a blackout?" She asks her parents.
"Yep." They both reply and continue what they were doing before. She turns to the pirate sitting at the dining table.
"What are you doing here?" She asks, taking a bite out of the bread.
"I didn't want to disturb you, but Robin came to alarm me this morning of something unusual at the town line." She spoke from his seat across from her at the table.
"Car crash?"
"Weird creature?"
"Flying monkeys?" Her father, mother and herself asked after each other. She was no longer surprised about what happened at the town line.
"Try an ice wall stretching across the border of Storybrooke. It's pretty high and thick as Robin said." She almost chocked on her toast. She wasn't expecting THAT.
"More snow and ice? Who is causing all of this?" She asks taking a sip of orange juice.
"Someone who doesn't want us to leave apparently." Her mother states holding Neal in one hand, the other a spoon for the bowl of cereal near her.
"Well we need to fix this before-" She is cut off by a loud knocking noise at the front door. She groans and puts her head in her hands. David opens the door and Leroy charges in.
"The town line! It's-"
"We know already." David assures him. "The town line has an ice wall across it." He let's go of the door to do a hand off with Mary-Margret.
"What about the monster at the town line? And the blackout?" He asks. She almost chokes on her not cold orange juice this time.
"Seriously?" She asks grabbing a tissue and wiping her hands. "We'll check it out, just don't go worrying people." Like you did yesterday, she wanted to add. She was already standing up and putting her empty plate and cup in the sink.
Leroy had left and Killian and David were now standing at the door ready to go. "Ready?" Killian asks.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Her father kisses his mother gently and Neal's head before taking a leave. He exits first and she second. She feels a hand on her back and smiles back at Killian before he closes the door.
They get to the town line and there is indeed a wall of ice along the border. She sees no sign of a monster... Only a girl. Robin Hood and his men were already there. They jumped out of the truck and headed towards the line.
"Where is my sister?" The girl asks them. The men have their weapons drawn at her. She notices that her hands, there is ice coming out of them. Robin tries taking a step forward but she shoots her hand at the ground in front of him and ice spikes appear. He jumps back frightened.
They join the group but don't dare to go closer to the girl. "Do you know her?" She asks both Killian and David.
"No, I think I'd remember someone who can make ice appear out of no where." Killian says.
"I can't say I do." Her father replies on her left.
"Hey, we don't want to hurt you. We just want to know why you're here." Emma tries hold her hands out to show she has no weapons. They girl looks confused.
"Emma watch out!" But it's too late. She slips on the ice she didn't realise was there. Something came out from her finger tips as she fell back hitting the ground. She looked up from where she was to see that her own magic had hit the ice wall near the bottom.
"Damn it." She said and got up. The ice started falling fast. Everyone managed to start running back away from the wall, but her eyes were on the girl. She would be crushed! She ran towards the falling wall ignoring the protest from Killian. She just managed to put up a shield on top of them before everything came crashing down. Her shield must've weakened because everything went dark.
Killian:
"Swan!" He yelled as Emma ran towards the falling wall of ice. He covered his own face as snow came towards them. A few moments later everything was quiet and he opened his eyes. The road was covered in snow up to where the truck was parked.
The merry men started come out from under the snow, helping others up. He was in the shallow end of the snow and ice. He spotted David who was buried up to his waist in snow. He went over to him and helped him out.
"Well that's a first." He looked around. "Where's Emma?" He asked the panic clear in his voice.
"She was running towards the wall of ice just before the snow came over us." They both started running towards the ice wall which still remained. It had fallen quite a few metres and had grown thicker.
"Emma!" They both started to recall repeatedly. They came to the ice wall and he dug his hook into it. It was no use, it was too thick now. "Emma!" He called for one last time. Everything was silent. He could have lost her already.
"There's no use, she's trapped under there." David said both hands on the ice wall. "I'm not going to loose my daughter again." He said determination in his voice. They both started to head back to the truck.
"Where are we going mate?" He asked opening the door to one side of the truck.
"Perhaps the only one who could help us at the moment. Gold."
Emma:
"Please, please wake up." She felt someone rousing her from her sleep. Why was it so cold? She opens her eyes to see the women who had caused the ice wall. Out of instinct she suddenly shuffled away from her touch. "Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..."
The women looked hurt and frightened that she had pushed her away. "No it's okay. I just do that out of instinct." She shuffles back closer to her and takes in her surroundings. Trapped under a wall of ice. "Who are you?" She asks looking back at the women.
"I'm Elsa." She introduced herself.
"I'm Emma." She feels a sudden chill. Not one of those chill winds. It was like someone had just poured ice water over her head. "Why- Why are you here?" She asked.
"I'm not sure. I just found myself here in some barn." Her eyes widened then she closed them. Great. "Then I saw that someone in this picture had my sister's necklace so I took it, and decided that no one would leave this town until we were reunited. I would do anything to get back my sister."
She had her arms wrapped around herself trying to keep herself warm. Why out of all things did she wear a leather jacket today? It wasn't her usual red one but still, why didn't she wear a coat? Or a beanie or something?
"How are you not freezing?" She asks.
"The cold never really bothered me. I guess that comes along with my magic." She said looking down at her hands. "You also have magic. I've never seen anyone else with magic before." If she wasn't freezing at the moment she would've looked more shocked.
"Re-really? This whole town has people who can wield magic. Although I feel like I'm the only one not being able to control it. Otherwise I wouldn't be freezing to death." Elsa's eyes widen and mouth slightly dropped.
"Sorry, I forgot it must be freezing for you!" She said coming over. "Here try to stand up." Emma did and she tried but it was too much and she fell back to the ground. She lied there trying to warm herself. "Emma? Emma?" And she closed her eyes.
Killian:
The prince barged into the small shop, the little bell ringing above it. "I'm sorry but we're closed. I believe I have a crisis on my hands at the moment." Rumplestiltskin said putting down a blue box which looked like it was suppose to hold jewellery in it.
"Good, we can relate. We need your help, something's happened at the town line." David said catching his breath. He himself looked down at the floor, it was wet.
"Doesn't everything happen at the town line." He muttered.
"Emma, she's trapped under a wall of ice at the town line by a women with ice magic." He looks up stunned.
"You don't say? I recall someone like her, but I'm sure she's still back at my vault in the Enchanted Forest." He has a feeling he knows how something from the Dark One's vault ended up here, but he doesn't say anything. "I'm afraid that I can't help you. If this person is from my vault then they are too puzzling, even for me."
Anger rises inside of him, and he is sure inside the prince as well. "What do you mean you can't help? My daughter is trapped under a wall of ice and you can't help?" He says angrily. It's his turn to step in after there is a moment of silence.
"What would Baelfire want you to do?" This has caught his attention. "He loved Emma, and he would've wanted you to save her. He wouldn't want Henry to have to loose his mother as well as his own father." This has struck a cord in him. David looks at him, a smile of gratitude.
"I suppose you're right. Shall we?" They exit the shop and head for the town line again.
Elsa:
"Emma! Emma! Come on you're going to freeze to death." She says as she tries to lift her up. This can't be happening. She may of not frozen her heart but she is still ice cold and pale. Emma opens her eyes but only slightly.
"Emma I can get us out of here, I just need you to stay with me." She says helping her and putting her arm around her own shoulders. Emma falls to the ground again. She takes this moment to use her magic to put a hole through the ice wall.
She puts both hands in front of her and works her magic. She looks down at Emma who is watching in amazement, despite her condition. She lifts her up again and carries her out.
Killian:
They finally get there after what feels like an eternity and hop out of the car. The merry men are all still there waiting. "Well that's impressive." Rumplestiltskin said. They made their way through the snow and ice towards the ice wall. Just before they get there, there is a blast.
No. He thinks. They all wait patiently for the fog to clear and what they see shocks them. It's the women carrying out a freezing Emma.
"Emma!" David runs towards her first and he is right behind. Emma falls to the ground again and the women steps back letting them get to her.
"She's freezing to death." He says. Her skin is as pale as snow.
"I'm sorry. I- I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt." He looks up at the women. Here are snowflakes around her, she is frightened and scared. "I just want my sister back."
"We need to get her back to the apartment to get warm." David says starting to pick her up.
"Isn't the power still out mate?" He asks and he let's go of Emma.
"We still need to get her away from the cold. Killian I need you to pick up Emma." He does a double take.
"Wait what? What about you mate?" He asks. Shocked, first because he called him by his real name, and second because he wants him to pick up Emma?
"I need to drive." He says making a run for the truck. Without a second thought he picks up Emma being careful with his hook. It feels familiar but he shakes it off. He turns around to the girl.
"Are you coming? As long as you don't freeze anything." He corrects and she nods, following him without a word.
"You're a tough lass Swan. You can get through this." He says to her.
Emma:
Why is it so cold? She asks herself. She feels a blanket around her but it's still freezing cold. She recalls the past events. Neal waking her up, Killian, Leroy, town line, ice wall, Elsa...
Crap.
She opens her eyes to find Killian sitting next to her. "Love, you awake?" He asks softly. His hand is warm against her cold face.
"Yeah I am. What happened?" All she remembers is ice falling.
"You were trapped under a wall of ice." He said almost painfully said casually. Others started piling into the room. She looked around to see that they were at the back of Granny's.
"Good, you're awake." Her father said coming over to the couch she was lying on. Elsa was also there.
"What were you thinking love? You almost got yourself killed." Killian said taking her hands in his.
"I was think that someone needed protecting from the falling ice wall, even if it was he person who caused it." Her father gave her a warm smile.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to cause any harm. I just want my sister." She said, snowflakes were dancing around her. Her magic must be controlled by emotions as well.
"It's alright, and we will find your sister." She looks confused.
"You will still help me after all that I've done? Don't you think I'm a monster?" There must be years of pain behind that word as she struggles to say it.
"No because you're not." She's still freezing and pulls the blankets up further. He father continues for her.
"What's your sister's name?" He asks.
"Her name is Anna." A look of recognition is on her father's face.
"Do you know her mate?" Killian asks.
"I think I do. Anna? As in bubbly, talkative, overly optimistic and does before she thinks?" The snowflakes disappear from around Elsa.
"Yes that's her! Have you seen her?" She asks full of hope.
"Yes she helped me defeat someone a while back in the Enchanted Forest. But that was years ago, before I met Snow even." Okay so before she was even born? That would be hard to find her.
"She did leave for the Enchanted Forest." She says. "Do you know where she went after that?" She asks.
"I'm not sure. But we will find her." Just then Ruby charges in.
"David, the power is back on. Want any hot drinks?" She asks them.
"Yes please." She replies. She could go for a hot chocolate now, or coffee, or just both. David orders his and they are back to their conversation.
"Why don't we get you a room at Granny's so you can stay?" David and Elsa take their leave, leaving herself and Killian alone.
"Please don't pull a stunt like that again. We were so worried about you." He said rubbished hands.
"I just reacted out of instinct." She said looking down at their hands. He used his hook to lift her chin up and gives her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Make sure that you are safe as well next time." She suddenly feels warmer. She isn't sure if it's because the heater is back on, or from that kiss.
"Okay." She says as Ruby comes in with their drinks.
