A/N
Okay, this is the last chapter for a few days. I need to get caught up. I decided to go in a different direction than what I had orignally planned for future chapters. I know where I'm going with and it will just be even better. I need a few days to get caught up. :) Thank you for the reviews.:)
When Regina finally returned home Norah had fallen asleep on the couch. In a way she was glad that Mary Margaret or now that her curse was broken- Snow White; brought Norah home. Regina didn't recognize Norah from the enchanted forest. She wondered if now that the curse was broken if she would know her as the Evil Queen. Regina took a small blanket and covered her sleeping daughter to protect her from the chill throughout the house. Regina retreated to Henry's room and cried into his pillow. Her son, was right all along and now the curse was broken. He left her, what if he didn't want to come back? Yes of course she had Norah, but she doesn't know her daughter like she does her son. Regina gazed to the window and noticed the purple fog fill the air. Regina gleamed, magic is coming and soon she will have both her son and daughter. Soon she will have everything.
Norah felt the blanket cover her, so much of her wanted to cuddle. Yet much of her wanted to run. She quietly listened to the cries coming from upstairs. She wondered if something had happened to Henry. She made her way up the stairs and to Henry's room.
"Madam Mayor?" No answer. Regina's sight was caught up with the purple smoke to turn around.
Maybe Regina didn't hear her. "Hello?" Norah stepped slowly behind Regina careful not to startle her. "What is that cloud?" She spoke softly. Regina turned to Norah and smiled. "That my dear is what we need to talk about." Regina motioned her to follow back down the stairs.
"Tell me, what do you remember?" Regina took both of Norah's hands with hers.
"I don't know what you mean? The last thing I remember is falling asleep here" Norah paused. "No, I remember running from that purple cloud in the enchanted forest"
"So you have your memories back?"
"Yes, I do I remember everything." Norah smiled back to Regina.
"Do you remember who I am?" Regina asked hesitantly.
"No, I lived in a small village returned home from a friend's house and the whole town was murdered. I lived alone until the curse came."
Regina heard someone banging on the front door she peaked behind the curtains and saw the crowd in her yard. "I need you go upstairs and stay there until I come get you." Regina said walking her to the stairs. "I have upset a lot of people in this town; I need you to stay inside for your protection. Do you understand?" Norah shook her head and walked towards Henry's room.
It had been at least an hour since Regina sent Norah upstairs. She figured Regina had forgotten about her. She walked to the hallway "Regina? Hello?" She realized she was home alone. She admired the pictures on the wall, pictures of Regina and Henry. Norah pulled out her phone and called Casey. "Hey, I need to talk to you. I'm at the Mayors house."
Norah waited impatiently outside. "Hey" Casey walked out of breath from the back of the house. "Do you know it takes an extra 10 minutes to get here?" "Don't worry, we don't have to walk now" Norah held up keys to Regina's car. "Would you like to drive?" She smiled.
"I do know where the Mayor is" Casey took the keys and started the car.
"So what is this thing that Mr. Gold sent after her?"
"According to Ruby it's a wraith. A soul sucker. Everyone is at the town hall trying to get rid of it."
"Like kill it?"
"You can't kill it. It's already dead."
"That's bad ass." Norah smiled. "I have a question. Do you have your memories back? Who were you in the enchanted forest?" Norah asked getting out of the car.
"I remember everything, but I don't ever remember meeting you. Trust me, my life there wasn't to interesting either."
"Oh. I don't remember anything. Regina asked me if I did and I lied."
"Don't worry, they'll come back to you. We better get inside though." Casey said pointing to David running inside.
Casey and Norah followed David inside the town hall. They hid behind a doorway and watched him carry broom's giving them to Snow. "Torches" he said walking over to Emma.
"Wait someone else is here" Regina stood from the ground. Quietly, pointing to the wall behind David. Snow and David walked around to where Regina was pointing and found Norah and Casey spying. "What are you doing here? It's not safe." Neither responded. "Come on, but you have to stay out of the way." David said annoyed taking Casey by the hand walking back in the room with Regina and Emma. Snow and Norah followed quickly behind him.
"Regina hurry" David yelled letting go of Casey grabbing a broom. The ground started to shake while lights around the room began to blow out. The wraith wasn't far away. Norah stood on the other side of Emma. "What's happening" she said over the sound. "Norah get back" Emma pushed her back with arm. "Go home" Emma scolded. The wraith flew its dark shadow into the room. David and Snow tried waving it back with the torches. As the wraith neared closer, Casey hid behind a table. The dark creature seemed angry. The wind the Wraith brought in moved the chairs and tables. Casey stared up at the wraith, walking closer to it. When the dark creature turned to her, Casey fainted. David came from behind the wraith with his torch moving it back from Regina and Emma.
Finally the portal began to open. Norah jumped in front the wraith running to Regina. "What are you doing here?" "Regina Don't break your concentration! "Snow screamed through the wind. As the wraith closed in the portal finally opened. Emma jumped and pushed Regina aside as the portal sucked the wraith down. But the dark creature grabbed Emma by her feet and pulling her down with it. Mary Margret jumped after her. Just as David was about to jump after his wife and daughter, Norah rolled under his feet following the two adults down the portal.
