The main street of Storybrooke was bustling with people trying to come to terms with their new reality after fifteen years of being cursed with a miserable lonely existence they where free, reuniting with loved ones overflowing out of the doors of the local diner it had never been busier Granny had all but given up on service simply letting people grab their own food and drinks after all she knew them so well, like one big family finally reunited. Despite the fact that there was literally about to be a cloud of darkness looming over the town the occasion seemed rather celebratory at lot of people still only finding their loved ones.

"Emma you ok" Mary Margret asked for the hundredth time while they sat in the both everyone was getting tired it had been a long night, Emma realised she hadn't slept since she left the Jolly Roger almost a full 24 hours ago.

"I fine I promise just tired" Emma responded threw a yawn it suddenly was so hard to talk to her it was the way she was looking at her with so much love like she was expecting something but truth was Emma had no idea how to process this what was that white light that came from inside her was it magic what did that mean. Why was it that all she could think about was that she hesitated, she hesitated in a moment of anger because Lily had betrayed her, it was her fault that creature took Lily. Her fault.

"Do you wanna talk?"

"About what, Golds proposition he'll helps us with this night demon we owe him a favour, he double crossed me we can't trust him"

"Aye" Killian agreed as he got up heading off to see Elsa who was waving him over from the other side of the room.

"Yes that but also us, I want to know about you, we've gotten to know each other over the past few months but it's different now we didn't know we were mother and daughter"

"We knew we were father and daughter" David chimed in smiling, he wouldn't admit it to his wife but he was kind of glad he's relationship with Emma was suddenly now less complicated the Emma's relationship with Mary Margret.

"It's nice where all getting reacquainted but why are we still here" Leroy said coming over to them interrupting their conversation, not that Mary Margret seemed to notice she was still staring at Emma hoping for a response.

"Yeah and what are we going to do now?" Whale announced rather loudly still annoyed there earlier mob was told to back down. The rest of the room was feeling more fear now then anger, worried about what was to come, how they would deal with another attack from that creature. David stepped out of the both getting the rooms attention.

"Ok I know your scared but we have to stick together everything well be ok, we can discuss details in the morning at a town meeting"

"What are going to do about that thing" someone yelled from the back

"Emma can fight it isn't she supposed to be the saviour, we all saw her use magic" Sneezy yelled out, everyone stared at her then they looked over with anticipation, however hearing the word just made Emma uneasy she looked away from their hopeful gaze, looked down at her hands remembering the light that poured out of them. Snow could see her daughter was uncomfortable with the weight suddenly put on her shoulders she stood up by her husband's side in front of Emma like they could protect her from it all.

"We have faced much worse before and come through, Regina took our loved ones made us forget who we are but we have found each other and we know our strength again we may be in a strange land but we can be who we want to be now choose the life we want be strong choose the right path, not revenge but hope"

Emma eyes wondering from David and Snow for a moment looking at the audience they had everyone looked upon them for leadership they trusted them and they knew exactly what to say to calm everyone down give them hope for what's to come it was remarkable.

"Maybe we should all get some sleep" David ended the speech as the crowd started to clear.

Killian smiled as he walked over to Elsa seeing her with her sister he was so happy for her, Killian was worried for a moment there, maybe he had filled her with false hope of ever finding Anna, what else had happened while he was under the sleeping curse.

"Your majesty" Killian grinned as he approached

"This is him, without Killian I never would have found you" Elsa beamed

"OH, thankow" Anna said with a mouthful of nutella coated pancakes making it hard to talk

"I think we found her new favourite food group" Elsa laughed Killian smiled but she could see the pain in his eyes it was always there but this was fresh.

"Killian we found Anna and were going to find Liam too, I promise"

Killian nodded he wasn't excepting to find friends here and he loved that feeling, however he wasn't sure if it was all true after all it was the dark one that told him his brother was alive he defiantly didn't have his hopes up about seeing Liam again.

Ruby laid her head on Mulans shoulder even though everyone else was happy to find themselves again she was more lost then ever and angry, now she knew the truth and it wasn't much of a relief Regina had murdered Peter she knew that now and she wanted revenge.

"I miss him"

"I know" Mulan replied wrapping her arm around her friend for comfort when Emma and her parents walk by.

"She you guys, tomorrow" Emma waved, after most of the crowd had dispersed they decided it was time for bed themselves.

"Night" Elsa smiled she was giddy stuffing pancakes into her mouth with her sister they didn't look tired at all.

"I walk out with you" Killian followed

Emma reached for his hook as they walked she gripped it tight Emma was feeling worse and worse after what happened to Lily however making her way out the door of Granny's with David, Mary Margret and Killian by her side she felt slightly better. It had been so hectic they haven't had time to talk about everything that had happened since there kiss it was all so sudden what did it mean where they still friends or more Emma wondered. Was the kiss a one time thing?

"Killian" Emma started to say

"Yes, Swan"

"Night" Emma simply responded she was too scared of what the response could be, what if it wasn't the one she was hoping for she couldn't face that now after the day she's had. Killian stopped walking as they had reached his car.

"Alright I better head home I can feel your parents trying not to watch from here, see you tomorrow" Killian said breaking apart as he unlocked his car.

"Oh crap, about that" Emma felt guilty in all the commotion she failed to tell Killian his home was drifting out to sea another thing on her conscience.

It was quiet in Mary Margret's loft as the four of them slept Mary Margret and David in each other's arms for the first time in fifteen years but it felt like yesterday since the pair had slept this peacefully snuggled up together, Killian lay on the couch comfy as can be he'd much preferred to be laying next to Emma but when David pulled the blankets out and put them on the couch he knew not to argue. Emma was the only one not sound asleep every time she closed her eyes she could see it Lilly disappearing into the darkness while she just stood there watching it happen, Mr Gold's words running through her mind, she could save her so what was she doing lying in bed when Lily was suffering god knows where. Giving up on the sleep Emma made her way downstairs and got a glass of water something to occupy her mind it was nice to have the apartment full of people though Emma smiled looking over at Mary Margret and David snuggled up together and Killian peaceful asleep on the couch under three layers of blankets Mary Margret tucked him under. That's when she saw it in the middle of the street is was the second time Emma had seen such a creature in Storybrooke. A wolf this one much different than before not grey but a dark brown and it was falling to the ground its bones cracking morphing, until it turned into a girl.

"Ruby" Emma gasped grabbing her coat of the chair, running down to the street to where her friend lay.

Mary Margret sat up jolted awake she though she heard something a door slamming shut perhaps, but the room was quiet and David lay sound asleep beside her, she lifted her husband's arm from around her waist gently placing it back down as she stepped out of bed noticing a glass of water on the bench, she couldn't help herself she checked on Emma. When Mary Margret reached the top of the stairs her stomach dropped heart racing, Emma's bed was empty not again she thought it was the second time since Emma moved in she'd taken off in the middle of the night and she left her phone off course Mary Margret frowned grabbing it.

"Emma" Mary Margret said to herself in a disproving tone, she made her way back down to wake David and Killian and find Emma when she saw her outside making her way into the street where Ruby lay.

"HEY, RUBY, RED" Emma yelled making her way over quickly down the street she still hadn't gotten to her feet. Upon hearing a friends voice she got the strength to pull herself up it had been a long time since Ruby had gone through a change the process was exhausting she couldn't even remember how she got here or where she was headed and most annoyingly where her clothes where.

"Emma, what happened" Ruby got up covering herself it was awkward not to mention freezing cold.

"I don't know I just saw you out here and, put this on" Emma took of her coat wrapped it around ruby who even more frightened and confused then Emma who just seen one of her best friends transform from wolf to human. They sat down by the side walk while Ruby caught her breath.

"I'm such an idiot I should have known with magic back that meant I'm back"

"Well whoever you are your pretty awesome" Emma said trying to comfort her friend putting her arm around her shoulder.

"I'm a werewolf Emma it's not awesome, it's dangerous"

"They only thing dangerous in this town is me and I'm supposed to be a saviour, I couldn't save Lily"

"None of what's happening is your fault, it's her" Ruby almost growled thinking about it "I always had Peter with me; he could calm me down so it's really her fault" She paused "if something happens"

"What do you mean" Emma frowned this wasn't like her what was she saying, Ruby tensed beside her breathing heavy, she hadn't noticed but the bit of cloud covering the moon had moved on and when the light from its glow lit up the street once more Ruby started to turn back.

"Emma, EMMA RUAAAAR" ruby shouted into a roar, but it was too late.

Ruby body cracked and morphed once more her grief making the transformation faster than ever she let the wolf take over, it leaped up onto all four legs knocking Emma down as she tried to get up, and its eyes glowed as it starred her down growling.

"Red it's me" Emma put her hands up in front of her after picking herself off the ground but her friend was gone and the wolf jumped forwards scratching Emma's arm tearing threw her pyjamas the blood came rushing down her arm she grabbed it holding tight, it wasn't much help, it would stop the blood trickling down her forearm to her wrist. Emma couldn't save herself she couldn't save anyone she thought closing her eyes tight as the wolf came closer.

Suddenly Emma heard someone running up behind her and the next moment they were in front, Emma couldn't believe it Mary Margret, her English teacher was fighting a werewolf with a broomstick and somehow was doing a pretty good job of it even though she was terrified and it had been a long time since she had to fight like this but it was all so natural it was badass Emma thought. The wolf backed away running off maybe it wasn't really looking for a fight or this just wasn't the fight it was looking for. Mary Margret spun around and Emma could tell by the look on her face she didn't seem to think it was badass she was terrified and a little angry.

"Emma, are you ok?" Mary Margret asked as she put her arms on Emma's shoulders her eyes frantically scanning to see the damage the wolf may have caused. Mary Margret was so panicked barley processing what had just happened.

"It's ok, I'm ok" Emma said pushing away "Just my arm has a scratch"

"It's more than a scratch, Emma" Mary Margret frowned she reached out to inspect the wound further it wasn't too deep but it was bleeding a lot.

"We have to go after Ruby"

"We should head back to the apartment, get some help, and wash that cut"

"She might hurt herself; I think I know where she's going"

Emma started to run off in the direction Ruby went in, she would be headed straight to her prey. Emma had to stop her friend before she did something horrible there was no time to waste that wolf was surely running faster than Emma could.

"No Emma, wait where are you going" Mary Margret followed, this was all happening so fast what was Emma thinking she had no idea the danger the wolf could pose she had no idea the dangers of a land with magic but Snow White did.

"She'll be headed to the Sheriff's station; I think she's going to try to kill her"

"Regina, oh no Red" Mary Margret gasped running behind Emma trying to keep up she knew there was only one way to stop Red when this happened, she called David to tell him what was going on and get Ruby's cloak hopefully they could find it in time save her from making a grave mistake.

Killian barely remembered leaving the apartment they had only slept a few hours but he was deep in a dream and feeling very sluggish now, David and Killian raced to the car he was assured and explanation would come but David was speeding down the street without saying a word Killian would of asked sooner but he was kind embarrassed after flailing around when David came to wake him up. David intended on telling Killian straight away but he was distracted waking up to the phone ringing his wife and daughter missing he just wanted to help he even considered not waking the sleeping boy, but he knew what it felt like to wake up alone not knowing where you family was he wouldn't do that to Killian.

"Mate, where are we going?" Killian eventually asked when David almost clipped a mail box coming around the corner to the main street.

"You're not going to like it"

"What, is it Emma, she's in trouble"

"Emma and Mary Margret are ok for now they need our help, we just need to get something first" David stopped the car right in front of the pawn shop.

"Bloody hell" Killian groaned offcourse this had something to do with this demon

"Ok Killian we got to be quick were looking for a big red cloak its special its magic, a lot of items have ended up here so I hope that includes Ruby's cloak"

The door was locked and with a quick scan of the room David could see the shop was empty hopefully Rumplestiltskin wasn't close by they didn't have time for an encounter with the dark one.

"Ruby's cloak, I don't understand" Killian frowned wondering what his friend had to do with all of this why would Emma leave without telling Killian what was going on.

"Ruby she's a werewolf and now with magic back"

"It's a full moon" Killian looked up to the sky noticing the bright glow of the moon his mind racing he was worried now whatever drowsiness he felt moments ago faded away when the adrenaline kicked in he knew how dangerous the wolf could be and he knew his Emma would be headed straight into danger if someone else was in trouble.

Killian crashed his hook through the glass door leaning in he unlocked it, pulling it open quickly. David and Killian rushed in not bothering to worry if they were making too much noise they needed to do this quick.

"I'll check the back" David told Killian meaning he was rifling through the front room he had no time to be nice about it, messing up the dark ones shop was the only plus side to this night time adventure.

It was died quiet and cold in the dimly lit cell at the Storybrooke sheriff's station usually empty apart from a few over nighters by the town drunk and the recent stint by the local high schools English teacher unfortunately for Regina that meant that nobody had complained about these beds the wire holding up the thin musty mattress was digging into her back, Regina lay awake starring at the ceiling however this wasn't because of the mattress she could never sleep when she was this angry but what or who was she angry at the saviour who had broken her curse meaning after all she'd been through all she had worked for Regina had nothing and no one, or was she really angry at herself, killing her father for this curse it felt like a waste of a life now. Regina didn't even want to think about the fact that she wasted time trying to save that pirate why she didn't care what happened to him or was this about her the hurt in Emma eyes when she approached Regina in the street yesterday she'd known pain like that it was like looking in the mirror. What was she thinking she could have used that time wisely and wouldn't be in this mess unable to use her magic, trapped why did she do it, why?

There was a loud crash at the entrance of the station broken glass flying everywhere, fortunately for Regina she wouldn't have to spend much longer wondering what her motives where or who she had become because her thought was interrupted when a wolf broke through the glass doors of the sheriff's station not your standard wolf a werewolf twice the size and strength and out for blood, Regina's blood. She could hear its claws scratching the Vinyl floor as it made its way down the hall slowly, making sure Regina would be terrified when it finally came into view however the noise suddenly stopped and the station was quiet once more. Regina's eyes scanned the room frantically looking for the creature she knew the bars wouldn't hold it back for long having experience with similar beasts in the past but she never used to fear them her magic powerful enough to protect her but without it she was defenceless, alone.

With a loud clang the wolf jumped up out of the shadows into view on top of the desk growling its yellow eyes glowing there was so much hate in them.

"Hello red" Regina said with gleeful defeat she knew who it was and why she was here Regina was ready to meet her demise.

Emma noticed the broken glass when her and Mary Margret approached the station, where they too late she knew no matter how angry ruby was she'd never forgive herself if she did this, part of Emma wanted it to happen the wrathful part just wanted to let it go pretend she couldn't stop it. After everything Regina did, Killian almost died and Peter was gone but every time she had such thoughts she would feel its presence the same feeling down in the basement and when that thing took Lily, that darkness it was gut retching. Emma knew it wasn't the right thing to do she had to save both of them. The opening left behind by the wolf was big enough to fit through so Emma bent down and made her way in.

"Be careful" Mary Margret said from behind she wanted to reach her hand out and stop her climbing through a broken window glass everywhere into certain danger but they had to.

"It ok I can do this" Emma made it without a scratch but she noticed some blood ruby must have cut herself making her way in Emma was even more worried now taking off before Mary Margret even made it all the way in.

"Emma wait, Emma" Mary Margret lunged forward before Emma made it around the corner grabbing her arm holding her back.

"She's hurt"

"I know, but we have to be careful I've come across a wolf before they are extremely dangerous I known one that took out an entire hunting party with weapons, all by itself"

Emma didn't know what to think of that she paused it was still hard to believe, to process even with her friend turning into a wolf right in front of her eyes how this all could be real. Emma couldn't imagine anything more than her friend in that room not some sort of creature from a book of Grimm fairytales.

"We have to wait until David and Killian get here with the cloak"

"Right the magic cloak" Mary Margret had explained the situation after ending her call with David on the way over here.

Mary Margret could hear the sarcasm in Emma's voice but she knew it was just masking her fear and discomfort of it all this was of so foreign to Emma. They heard a growl from around the corner the wolf could smell them sniffing the air as it turned around coming closer. Mary Margret's heart stopped what was she thinking coming in her with no plan this wasn't like her. Emma surged forward once more looking for something they could use in defence but there was nothing it was an empty hall, except a fire extinguisher catching Emma eye it certainly wasn't ideal but it was the only option, she leaped to the side but the wolf was faster.

"NO" Mary Margret followed seeing what Emma was trying to do but the plan couldn't work not like this she had to distract the wolf for a moment so Emma could grab the extinguisher.

Mary Margret got the wolfs attention waving her hand just out of reach of its jaws, one step closer and the beast would have knocked her to the ground but a few seconds was all Emma needed grabbing the extinguisher from the wall she let out the foam full force onto the wolf temporary blocking its vision but it still had all its other senses and even with just that beast was lethal, so Emma quickly thrust the extinguisher forward into the wolfs head as it leaped towards her knocking it back slightly Emma would have felt guilty for smacking Ruby in the head with the heavy equipment but she seemed mostly undeterred jut more angry but distracted enough for them to move.

"Emma run"

Mary Margret could tell the foam wouldn't hold of the wolf for more than a second, grabbing Emma's arm making a run for it to Graham's office slamming the door shut behind her just as the wolfs claws reached the door scratching at it. Mary Margret had never been this terrified in her life she had and faced much more dire circumstances in the past but never with her daughter in the line of fire it changed everything in a profound way, she knew that it had the moment she was pregnant. Mary Margret held her tight her chin resting on Emma's head she rubbed her back it was ok, Emma was ok she told herself.

"Next time you do something like that warn me" Mary Margret let out a breath she could relax slightly for a moment. Emma could tell Mary Margret wasn't just referring to what just happened with the fire extinguisher but this whole evening Emma once again running, Mary Margret had been chasing Emma all night, how many times would she hurt Mary Margret before she just gave up on her Emma thought. She kept quiet though as Mary Margret let go of her, frantically scanning the office for medical supplies or a weapon something to save them. She found the first aid kit at least Emma's sleeve had turned red with blood Mary Margret couldn't just leave it she needed to focus on something while they waited.

The wolf was still pounding at the door it was thin, wouldn't be long before it made its way through and Regina could see this all unfolding before her, they would last long but she could, behind these bars she was much safer but why did she care if they went first. Emma and Mary Margret noticed Regina glaring at them they weren't sure what to say, Emma might have come here to save her but she still couldn't even look at her.

"Regina, don't worry back up is coming" Mary Margret tried to reassure her, she shouldn't have even bothered.

"I'm so relieved, I can't wait for the prince to show up" Regina replied with a snark but that was the wrong move upon hearing her voice the wolf forgot about Emma and Mary Margret in sights once again set on Regina. Mary Margret's eyes were on the wolf but it still wasn't getting threw those bars they had time not much but enough.

"Here Emma sit on the desk I need to stop the bleeding" Mary Margret instructed as she grabbed some bandages out of the first aid kit, Emma sat down she and almost forgotten she was bleeding and the pain it all came rushing back now she winced when she took of her shirt to assess the damage.

"Not so bad" Emma thought trying to play it down but as soon as Mary Margret started to clean the wound she winced.

After Mary Margret finished bandaging the cut she realised how cold Emma was and grabbed Grahams coat of the hanger wrapping it around her, Emma hadn't even realised she was shivering she thought it was just because of the fear. In that moment Emma felt the same way as she did that first time she went to Mary Margret's apartment she was so cold and wet after getting stuck in the rain Emma felt so lost that day unsure if she was just going to leave Storybrooke, everything about it was a comforting feeling that someone was there someone cared and this time Emma would try her best not to push that feeling away pretend it's not real it went against her instincts but she let someone in.

"Can you tell me why you ran out of the house tonight and didn't wake us we could have helped; I've lived in a world with magic most of my life"

"I'm sorry I wasn't trying to shut you out I just I'm not used to having people be there, I don't know how to do this"

"To what"

"To rely on people, to be a saviour, a daughter" Emma started to cry, Mary Margret came closer kneeling down to look Emma in the eye.

"You don't have to be, I'm sorry I've been acting different"

"I don't know how to act either"

"Emma, you don't have to be anyone other than a fifteen year old girl you are, hanging out with her friends"

"Even if my friends are a werewolf, a princess, a warrior and a pirate"

Mary Margret and Emma smiled at the thought maybe there lives wouldn't be normal however Mary Margret would try her best to make Emma safe and happy she held her tight letting out a deep breath it's like she had been holding it in ever since the curse broke and now she finally knew they were going to be ok that she could do this, be her mother. Regina saw the exchange through the window of the office she wouldn't admit it but she could feel something deep inside her, was she worried for her safety or theirs whatever it was she knew that the evil Queen doesn't hide in fear from anything.

Clang, clang, clang was the only sound as the wolf continued in its attempts to break down the bars of Regina's cell, Emma and Mary Margret jumping every time they heard the noise it wouldn't be long now what if they others didn't make it in time. Regina wasn't going to take this lying down wondering with every jolt of the bars if this was it, the wolf had its jaws around her neck but it went on for so long what was she doing she would die then Emma and Mary Margret would be next if she was going down she was going down fighting, with that thought she grinned that's when Regina felt it not sure how or why but suddenly it was back easy as it had always been. With a forceful flick of her wrist the cell door clicked open the wolf paused confused but not for long it changed up its game plan quick turning to Regina making its way through the now open cell door. Regina found a way to use magic again.

"Regina" Mary Margret gasped she didn't know what to do she looked to see if reinforcements had arrived yet but the hall was empty nothing could save them.

"What is she doing?"

"I don't know; I don't think she needs our help anymore though"

"Maybe not but Ruby still does" Emma was worried who would win in this fight now Ruby or Regina she didn't want to wait and find out.

Mary Margret nodded who knows what would happen to Ruby to them now that Regina had her magic back she was looking and Mary Margret now not to concerned with the wolf but her magic wasn't all there she tried to fling the wolf away but it wasn't working she needed to feel something more than the smugness she had now something deep inside.

Regina didn't know what to do what was happening one moment she was in complete control of her magic the next it was gone again and now she had gotten herself into quit the mess backing away from the wolf slowly to the cell maybe she could close the door the bars could protect her once more.

"Wait I don't think Regina's got her magic we have to help her"

"I don't suppose Graham has any weapons in here"

"Unfortunately not, but I have an idea" Mary Margret looked over at the desk, Emma nodded and they quickly mad ether way outside the office.

When the door swung open the wolf turned straight away looking over to them but it wasn't too interested seconds away from devouring its prey its eyes set on Regina.

"Now" Mary Margret yelled the pair rushed over to the desk shoving it forwards with all the strength they had sending it flying across the room right in front of the wolf just missing it.

Regina was out of harm's way for the moment the desk blocking the wolfs path the only thing in its way now was Emma and Mary Margret it faced them coming closer it wasn't playing games anymore not stalking it's pray just on attack.

Mary Margret grabbed they chair using it to try and hold the beast of she knew it was useless, Mary Margret had to do something if David and Killian didn't get her soon there wouldn't be anyone left to save. The wolf leaped forward smashing through the chair easily with it jaws Mary Margret fell backwards this was it. Emma was at breaking point his couldn't be the end she was such an idiot for getting them into this mess

"Ruby stop, I know you don't want to hurt anyone if Peter where here, he'd tell you you're just low on sugar and to eat a donut" Emma smiled she had nothing else left her only hope, " I know you miss him, so much it hurts but this won't make it any easier she going to face justice for what she's done and I know that doesn't make it all ok, the truth it I'm not ok either" Emma could see the wolf had hesitated for second like it recognised Emma with the mention of Peter but only for a second spooked again by movement as Mary Margret got to her feet, panicked by the situation her daughter was in she ran towards them surprising the wolf and it was back in attack mode it leaped forward Emma didn't have time to get out of the way.

Emma threw her hands up to try protect her face but nothing happened Emma looked around the only movement was from Mar Margret finally making her way over to her daughter the wolf was frozen still in place like time had stopped, the both looked over to Regina she must be the cause of this but she had no idea how she'd done it her magic acting so strange coming and going. Emma frowned; confused why would she have saved her but before they could get an answer Regina disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

There was a rattling at the door David had the keys thanks goodness and opened the door so Killian and he didn't have to crawl through the glass David run down the hall cloak in hand ready for attack they ran around the corner relieved to see the danger had passed Emma and Mary Margret where ok but the enchantment on the wolf wouldn't last long.

"David" Mary Margret sighed in relief when she saw him, he rushed over with the cloak quickly flinging it over the wolf so it almost completely covered it and they waited for something to happen.

"You guys alright"

"We are now"

"Emma" Killian smiled running over to her, so relived she was still in one piece he held her tight that's when Killian noticed the bandage on her arm, he should have been here why did Emma run of alone.

Ruby groaned from underneath the cloak she was back the wolf gone for now, Mary Margret knelt down and helped Ruby to her feet.

"Oh no is everyone ok, what happened" Ruby gasped panicked realise what happened

"It's ok everyone's alright" Mary Margret reassured her helping Ruby up

"So magic cloak actually a thing" Emma tried to ease the situation, David hugged her so relieved she was safe.

"Where's Regina" Killian frowned noticing her absence

"She's gone" Emma responded looking around the room she really was gone where did she go and what would she do now, what really troubled Emma was why did she save her life.

David came over to Emma while Mary Margret helped Ruby to her feet, wrapping his arm around her he kissed Emma right at the top of her head he was still annoyed with her for taking off but for now just glad she was safe unsure what to do in this situation he didn't want to push her away by getting cross with her telling her how worried he was and that she should never do that again, so he just smiled, for now happy his wife and daughter where safe the rest was tomorrows problem.

"Come on let's get Ruby home" Mary Margret said she held her hand and they started to make their way to the car Killian followed them Emma hadn't moved yet.

"Killian wait"

"What is it Swan"

"Thankyou"

"Of course Swan, but next time wake me when a werewolf is running around town"

"Next time" Emma smiled thinking about it a next time meant he was sticking around even with the curse broken Killian still wanted to be part of Emma's life she wasn't sure they hadn't really said it to each other made it clear that there kiss meant something.

"So that means your sticking around"

Killian looked into Emma's eyes he could tell she was terrified wondering if he was going to leave or pretend the kiss never happened however he knew just how to reassure her he wasn't going anywhere. Killian brushed his hand through her hair getting closer, their lips touching just a graze at first then Killian knelt down more their lips breaking apart he could feel Emma's smile as he kissed her.

"I'm not going anywhere Emma"

"Come on you two, time to go home" David yelled from outside, they both chuckled Emma face berried into Killians shirt it was so warm compared to the cold morning air they only stalled for a few more seconds holding each other before they headed out to the car and back to bed.

As the sun rose that morning most of the town was still snuggled up in their beds the only noise coming from the birds chirping as they welcomed another day with everyone in Storybrooke finally sound asleep nobody noticed the strange car crossing over the town line.
