Author's Note: I have been STRUGGLING with this next part. Figuring out how the Snow Queen and where I want to go with this has held me up big time. I apologize for the delay. So it didn't make sense to me that Rumple would try to take Emma's powers in this story since Neal is still alive. I'm not using The Hat, it just doesn't fit right now. I may bring it in later. I apologize if this chapter isn't up to par with my normal writing. Be patient with me. :)

"So she wants to be a big happy family with you and Elsa?" Remmy sat across from Emma at Granny's.

"I guess so. She had 2 other sisters apparently. Something happened to them and she's trying to replace them with people who have magic like her." Remmy nodded.

"Something must have happened. You heard Elsa's story. I'm wondering if it was something similar, but with not so good of an outcome."

"It's possible. I just wish I could remember what happened when she was my foster mother. Or when I first came here."

"I want to know how she got to this world without being in Storybrooke. Rumple doesn't know anything?" Remmy chewed on the side of her cheek. She was no closer to finding out who her mother was. She had been a little more active with helping Emma, but not much.

"He says he doesn't. He had been trying to get to this world for so long to find Neal...I don't know."

"Something is off. A lot of things are off. He's covering something up. He's been very elusive lately. Do you think it's a good idea that Henry is spending so much time with him?"

"I'd like to think that Henry will bring out the best in him. It's important to Neal that Henry knows his Grandfather. I trust that Neal wouldn't allow anything to happen."

"So this Snow Queen, Ingrid, whatever her name is. She is insisting that Anna is the one that placed Elsa in that urn?"

"Yep."

"She's very manipulative. She could be lying, or she could have some how turned Anna on Elsa. I wish I could find a spell to restore the memories you are all missing. And while I'm wishing for things, I wish I could find a way to break the curse that was placed on my Father. I need to know the truth. It's driving me crazy."

"I understand. I know the feeling. You feel like you don't know yourself because you don't know where you come from."

"Exactly. Will thinks I should just let it go. Move on with my life. But I can't. There's a reason why no one will or can tell me who she is. They're covering something up. And the more time that goes on, the less I think it's for my well being, but more for selfish purposes."

"I'm sure your father had the best of intentions at least."

"I'm sure he did, but unfortunately, I can't ask him" Remmy sat back in here seat. Thinking of all of the things she would love to ask her father when Emma's phone ringing interrupted her thoughts.

"I have to go, Elsa has a way for us to get Ingrid and she's at the clock tower." Remmy nodded and Emma ran off.

A week later...

Things had gotten really intense. Emma had gone absolutely crazy and lost control of all of her powers, she had wanted given them up, but Elsa and Killian had convinced her not to go to The Dark One. The Snow Queen had manipulated Emma into thinking her family was afraid of her powers. Snow's reactions hadn't helped matters. Remmy knew Snow was under a lot of stress, which is why she was so out of character when it came to Emma. They had patched the misunderstanding and everything seemed to be well. It wasn't long before The Snow Queen had cast the spell of shattered sight. They had found Anna's necklace near the ice wall which had luckily led them to Anna and Kristoff, how, Remmy still wasn't sure, the whole story was confusing to her. The locator spell had brought Emma and Elsa to the mines and all the way to the back wall. Elsa and used her magic to break through and it brought them to the other side of the beach. When it seemed like it was time to give up and use Anna's necklace to create the cure, Anna and Kristoff had come seemingly out of nowhere. They had been in a chest at the bottom of the ocean and some wishing star had brought them back. The Fairies were able to create an anecdote to the curse. Rumple had re-made the urn from some of its ashes and Ingrid was back inside. The urn was sent back to Rumple's vault in the Enchanted Forrest. Elsa, Anna and Kristoff had said their goodbyes and headed back to Arendelle to take their Kingdom back from Prince Hans. Remmy had been sad to see them go. Emma had been as well, she and Elsa had become so close. But it was time to move on and they would hopefully see their friends again in the future.

Remmy still hadn't found a way to reverse the spell that stopped her father from telling her who her mother was. She was growing impatient. She stopped going to see her father, she was too frustrated. She could tell he wanted to tell her the truth, but couldn't. Remmy didn't want to take her frustrations out on him. She told him so, and hoped that he understood. She had tried to use the favor Rumplestilskin owed her to get the truth out of him, but he was unable to oblige Will had been the only thing keeping her sanity lately. He watched her struggle with spells and dig through books of magic trying to find anything that would bring her the answers she was practically dying for.

Things for Regina were as complicated as ever. She and Robin had been still seeing each other while Marian was frozen. They had tried to stay apart, but they were drawn together. Now, Marian was awake and had been essentially defrosted now that Ingrid was gone. Everyone knew that his heart lied with Regina, but he wouldn't walk away from his wife. She and Regina had come far. Never did she ever think she would feel bad for the Evil Queen. Remmy still wasn't sure about Marian. She could still feel the darkness within Storybrooke and when she had bumped into Marian at Granny's the other day, she couldn't shake the pitfall she was feeling. The way the woman had stared at her so intently, as if she were examining the deepest parts of her soul left her unnerved. She had to find a way to figure out what exactly was with that woman. Robin was too good of a man to stay with someone he didn't love, especially if this was the person she had turned into.

"Who else would Marian be, except Marian?" Hook said, slightly exasperated. He didn't want to have to chase another demon, especially one that wasn't likely there.

"I'm telling you, there is something not right about her." Remmy insisted. Will and Emma sat back and watched the two argue in whispers at a table in Granny's.

"Are you just looking for trouble? Trying to find a problem to fix?" Remmy shot Killian a death stare.

"Why yes Killian, because I have nothing else that I could be doing with my time. Forget it. I'll figure it out on my own." She stood up and stormed out of the diner. She felt bad just leaving Will and Emma there, but she didn't want to explode with anger. He was pissing her off. Although, pretty much everyone pissed her off lately. She expected Will to follow her, but instead Hook stomped out after her.

"What is your problem lass?" She crossed her arms in front of her and took a deep breath. All she wanted to do was punch him in the face. Not because he deserved it, but because she had so much pent up frustration and she didn't know what to do with it.

"Killian...I'm telling you, something is not right here. You can call it paranoia if you'd like. But I felt it before the Snow Queen came...and the feeling hasn't changed since she left. Something is brewing in this town. You being a jack ass to me about it doesn't change it. Marian has seemed off since she got here. Something isn't right with her."

"Did you ever think that maybe it's the fact that she's in a strange land. Her husband is in love with the woman that was supposed to end her life and then she spent weeks as a block of ice?"

"You know Killian...I really hope that is all it is. But I'm willing to bet on almost anything that it isn't."

"Hey...maybe the Wicked Witch didn't die. Maybe she did get to the past, but didn't get as far as she would have liked so she turned herself into Marian. She used mind tricks on Swan so she would save her and she could get her to bring her back to present day Storybrooke and mess with Regina's happiness." He was mocking her. Remmy clenched her jaw and was about to fire back but Emma stepped in between them.

"Okay kids...lets go to our separate corners." Remmy didn't move.

"Killian...when did you stop being on my side?" She had intended it to sound angry, but instead it sounded pain filled instead. Killian's face had softened a bit, but he never got a chance to respond, Emma had grabbed him by the arm and pulled him in the other direction. Will was standing a few steps back. He was studying her face intently. She was expecting him to say something, but he didn't. He put his arm around her and kissed her on the cheek and led her in the direction of their home.

"I don't know what her problem is." Hook erupted once they got back to the loft. Emma rolled her eyes.

"I don't know why you're so angry with her about it." Hook looked at her.

"She is deliberately looking for trouble. Looking for something to happen. I just want to take a deep breath. I almost lost you, twice, while that Snow Queen was here. I don't want to worry about something that isn't even there. I'm sure eventually we'll have another battle to fight. But today, right now, there isn't one. And she's making one up." He had been so scared that he was going to lose Emma for good. Emma softened a bit.

"Killian, she's not looking for something. She legitimately feels it's there. And she might be right. But you can't take your fear out on her. And she can't take her anger out on you. You need to be there for each other. Sometimes, you'd think the two of you were actually siblings the way you fight." Emma shook her head. He sighed.

"Bloody Hell, I was a complete ass. I just got so upset even thinking about it." he sighed.

"And you'll apologize and she'll apologize and you guys will be fine until you fight again." He laughed.

"I'll apologize...but it will be tomorrow. Personally, I'd like to take advantage of the fact that your parents aren't here and Henry is with Regina." Emma smiled as he leaned in and kissed her like he would never kiss her again.

Will wrapped his arms around Remmy's waist as she flipped through yet another spell book at the kitchen counter. She had outright refused to discuss Marian or Hook any more that evening and he didn't push it. He hated seeing her in so much angst. He felt her relax against his body and he kissed her neck.

"C'mon love, give it a rest for now. Take a break." He pleaded with her.

"I don't even know why I'm trying. It's pointless. Nothing is going to break this silencing spell, or whatever it is."

"Nothing is pointless. But you need to step back for a bit. Sometimes walking away for a bit and then going back later helps." He smiled as she closed the book.

"I guess you're right." She turned around to face him.

"Everything will be alright. You have to believe that." He pulled her in to a tight hug. He felt her nod her head in agreement. Whether she actually believed everything would be alright wasn't clear. "I think you need to put this all to rest for now. Really put it to rest. I think you should find something else to do with yourself." Remmy pulled away and looked up at him.

"I don't even know what that is. I've spent my entire life honing my magic and looking for ways to neutralize The Dark One. And I'm starting to think that I may have helped soften him a bit by bringing Neal back. But the only way to neutralize him is to kill him. And I wont do that. Magic...it's all I have. I don't want to work with Emma and David. I have no desire to fight Storybrooke crime. What am I going to do, open up a cupcake shop? Maybe a clothings tore. I have nothing else to offer this town."

"Remmy, that is not true." Will sighed, he just wanted to help her. He wanted her to be happy. He wanted to help her create a life for herself that didn't include these crusades.

"I'm going to go for a walk." She pulled away.

"Remmy..." She turned to him.

"I need to clear my head. I don't know what I want anymore. The truth is, I was born to be a leader. I should have been a princess in line for a throne. I should be a Queen right now. And that is what it is. I don't feel robbed. Or anything like that. I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't change having the father I had, he made me who I am. And I wouldn't change anything else because everything that has happened brought me to you. But the fact is, what I'm best at, I can't be. I can't be a leader here. There are too many of them already. So I have to figure out what else to do with myself. Because at this point in time, I don't have the slightest clue who I am. If we were in the Enchanted Forest, things would be so much more clear to me. But here...everything is just so different." Remmy pulled her jacket on. "I just need to be alone. Please don't follow me. I just need some space. I wont be gone long. I promise." Will nodded. The sadness in her voice broke his heart.

Marian's eyes gleamed as she looked in the mirror. The Snow Queen had thrown quite the wrench in her plan. She hadn't expected to be frozen and out of commission for so long. Her plan was slowly falling back into place. It was a long shot that she could have gotten back to Storybrooke, but The Savior had played into her plan quite nicely. She knew that Regina and Robin had been together while she was on ice, but now, now they wouldn't dare. She more than enjoyed the pain in Regina's face every time she was with Robin and they saw her. The longing in the thief's eyes was just a bonus. He was too honorable of a man to leave his wife, even if he did love another. Normally, she'd never accept being 2nd place to the man she was with, but there was absolutely no way she would walk away from him. Of course, not until she had completely destroyed his relationship with Regina. After all, she was going to succeed in doing what Regina couldn't ever succeed at, taking away her enemy's happy ending. Ruining someone's chance at true love was the best revenge of all
