Hey all and it's May 1st and I'm updating. This looks promising doesn't it? I head down south for a few days at the weekend and am due to travel back north around the time that I will next update so we'll see how it goes. Once again the reviews and views have me speechless. It's times like that when I get reminded about why I choose to write. Thank you all so much.
Lots of love,

The Two Truest Believers-Part 21:
Eva looked at her mother,
"What? Why?" she asked horrified.
"Because they are clearly influencing you and I will not stand for that," Emma said, "you are my daughter, not the Mayor's."
"So you clearly don't want to see Henry then? If Regina finds out that you're stopping me from seeing her then she will stop you seeing Henry," Eva pointed out, "and we all know how you feel about Henry," she said before grabbing her jacket and bag and walking out.
Emma went to go after her but the food arrived. She sighed and looked at the food before asking Ruby to box it up as the order was changing to a takeout. She waited until Ruby had packaged up the order and then paid for it before hurrying out of Granny's. She scanned arund for Eva but the girl was nowhere to be seen. She sighed and looked around before getting her phone out and calling the one person she didn't really want to call.
"No Eva's not here Miss Swan," Regina said, "and no she's not at the office either. What the hell have you said to her?"
"That I didn't want her spending so much time with you and your sister," Emma said, "she then said that you'd stop me from seeing Henry and then grabbed her things and took off."
"I'll get my coat. Meet me at the sheriff's station. You owe me big time," Regina said before ending the call.
"You're helping me?" Emma asked as Regina joined her outside the sheriff's station.
"Miss Swan at this moment in time I know your daughter better than you do. Also I told her about places that you don't," Regina said.
"Only because you're trying to take my daughter away from me," Emma replied.
"We can either keep arguing or get looking for Eva. Your choice Miss Swan." Emma sighed knowing Regina was right and soon the two were looking for Eva.
Eva had headed into the forest as she'd remembered Regina telling her about a cabinthat was always full of supplies. She knew nobody would be in there as only Regina and Zelena knew about it. She stopped and looked around; managing to figure out where she was before she carried on walking and soon the cabin came into sight. She hurried over and found the hidden key before going inside and locking the door behind her.
She went and sat down in a chair and thought. She knew Regina disliked Emma and she thought about how Henry had said his mother was evil. She couldn't see it though as all Regina, and Zelena in fact, had done was be nice to her and look out for her, more than her own mother was. All Emma seemed to be worried about was Henry, who she'd only known a matter of weeks compared to her daughter that she'd raised since birth. Eva suddenly shivered and went in search of a blanket.
Zelena suddenly came rushing over to Regina and Emma,
"Still no sign of her?"
"How do you know?" Emma asked.
"Regina text me so I've freed myself up to come and help you look," Zelena replied, "I dropped Henry at the Nolans. I thought it was the best place." Regina nodded,
"Yes it was. Now you head off in that direction and Miss Swan and I will continue along the route we were heading."
"if you know where she is then you need to tel me," Emma said as she and Regina walked in the opposite direction to Zelena.
"I'm heading to all the places I told her about as she may well have gone to one of them hoping that I'd find her," Regina said.
"Why would she want you to find her?" Emma asked.
"Because I focus on her and Henry, not one over the other, I listen to her, I care about her, I make her feel loved…"
"No you are the person that wants to take my daughter away from me," Emma said, "you are not using my daughter to get back at me for spending time with Henry." Regina was looking around at the location they were in for any sign of Eva. Once she was sure the girl wasn't there, she began to lead Emma to the next location.
Eva was sat reading a book she had found in the cabin and she laid on her stomach in front of the fire she had lit. She knew Emma would be worrying about her but also that Regina would probably be searching by now as well. Yes she felt bad about running off but she was desperate for a bit of love and attention off of her mother and if this was the way she had to make her point then so be it.
