Chapter 37- the battle
Tally and the Oracle told Snow what they tried to do.
"Wait, you pretend to be Emma to fight the darkness and it didn`t work." Snow said. "But we have a plan but we need to do a spell on Emma that will last for 24 hours."
"I just caught Emma sneaking back in by the window, it remembered me of what you told me." David said as he walked down the stairs and saw the Oracle and Tally.
"Emma has to fight the darkness but she`s a child. We were thinking of doing a spell to make her older just for 24 hours. It`s the only way we tried to fight using her blood on a sword but he found out and stopped us."
"When you do the spell, would Emma remember growing up?" "Who know but she will be a warrior a fighter and it will only last for 24 hours. If there was another way we would do it but we tried and failed. This is the only way."
In Emma`s room, Emma fell asleep on her bed with her book under her head. Snow walked in and over to Emma.
"Emma dear wake up". Emma wake up and saw her mum. "Mum what`s going on?"
"I need you to come downstairs."
Downstairs, "I have to get some stuff, meet me in the woods in half hour." Tally said and left with the Oracle.
Tally got everything she needed from her shop and went to Gold`s pawnshop to pick up the last thing.
Mr Gold came out from the back room to see Tally and Eliza standing in the middle of his shop.
"Well, what can I do for you ladies." "I need a weapon a charming weapon."
Gold went to a cupboard and took out a long thin suit case.
In the Wood, Tally got the spell ready while Eliza watched.
Few minutes later Snow and David came over with Emma. Tally walked over to them. "Thanks for coming, it will only last for 24 hours just a enough for Emma to fight the darkness. Emma came with me, I want you to stand in the middle of this circle."
Tally started the spell and when a flash of light appeared around Emma and when it went away a adult Emma stood where child Emma stood.
"It worked, Emma you ready to go to war?"
Emma looked at Tally and Eliza and then at her parents. "I know you, who are you?"
"Emma what do you mean?" "You like look someone I knew when I was little."
"Emma tell me what were you doing a hour ago?"
"I don`t know it was darkness and then I wake up here." "Great you have no memory since you were a kid. Can you fight?"
"Give me a sword and I`ll show you." Emma said. Tally gave Emma the sword. "My father`s sword."
"Show me you can fight, fight your father."
After 10 minutes, David is on the ground with Emma standing over him."
"Ok, you can fight. You ready to fight the darkness?" "I`ve been ready since a was a child."
Emma stood in the middle of main street when the darkness appeared in front of her.
"I`ll be waiting for you Emma. You have grow up in a blink of the eye, Tally did a spell."
Emma and the darkness started to fight.
"For someone who was a child a hour ago you are a good fighter but are you great."
I`m my father`s daughter." And with that Emma magical took his sword away. "Lost something".
Emma made the sword disappear and ran her sword into the darkness.
The darkness disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
Emma dropped the sword next to her and dropped to her knees. Tally came out of her shop and saw Emma on the ground and ran to her,
"Emma are you alright?" "The darkness he`s gone, what do I do now. Since I was little I have been training to kill the darkness and with him dead what do I do now."
"Emma, you can do anything you want, think back to when you were a child what did you like to do?"
"Draw, I like to draw." Emma said. "There you go now come on let`s take you home.
Tally walked Emma home.
The next day Emma wake up and looked in her bedroom mirror, Emma was back to her younger self. The last thing she remembered was standing in the wood.
It had been a couple days since the battle, everyone in Storybrooke got on with they lives. Tally and Eliza ran the shop together but what they didn`t know was that it would not last long because more darkness could be coming.
