"August, WAIT!" yelled Emma and grabbed August's arm. "Emma, I'll be fine, let me go!"
"Says the guy who's made of wood, now HOLD UP!" Emma grabbed a shirt and pants, put them on and followed August outside. Flames flared everywhere, blocking the view. Both were choking on smoke. August pushed Emma out of the flames and landed next to her, unconscious.
"August?" asked Emma, before dizzily closing her eyes.


"Magic?" asked Tamara, bewildered. "You want to give me magic?"
"Oh yes. Magic would set you free, but your superiors, wouldn't be happy, now would they?"
Tamara scowled. "Stay the hell away from me."
Gold merely smiled and took Tamara's phone with him as he left.


Meet me at the town border with Regina. Tamara.
"Time to go, mate." reminded Hook. "You go, I still have business here."
"She said to bring the Queen with you." he said.
Greg yelled: "I'm not done! WHERE IS MY FATHER!"
He pumped up the electrocution.


August opened his eyes to find himself blinded by the light. "Augh, where am I?"
"Pinocchio!" said Geppetto and hovered over him. "Are you alright, my son?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." August coughed a little and sat up on the bed. "Where's Emma?"
"She is okay. She will want to see you." replied Geppetto and left the room.
Shortly afterwards, Emma burst in and passionately kissed August. "You were unconscious for two days."
"Two days?"
Emma begin slightly sobbing: "I thought... they said it was 50-50. I thought you'd go."
"Shhhh. I'm okay, I'm okay."
Emma laid her head on August's chest and closed her eyes, safe at last.


It took eternity for Hook to convince Greg to finally come with him as Regina was nearly braindead already.
They dragged her limp body into the car and Greg drove them to the border where they saw Gold.
"Rumplestiltskin!" yelled Hook. "STOP!"
It was too late. Gold froze the car with magic, trapping the duo inside and levitated Regina out. He placed Regina into his own black car which drove away, leaving Greg and Hook helpless.


"August! You're okay!"
August and Emma grinned as Henry joined in into one giant family hug.
"Yeah, I am." He turned to Emma. "What happened?"
Henry turned grim. "It was Rumplestiltskin. I saw him wave his hands around the house."
August looked at him, confused. "What were you doing at the house?"
"I was looking for you. Grandpa and grandma said not to go, but I wanted to see what you were doing. Also, I ran out of playmates. Hansel and Gretel are boring and Grace was too busy."
Emma rolled her eyes.
Rumplestiltskin? thought August.
