Chapter 16-Christmas

Two weeks before Christmas, Emma and Grace are Christmas shopping. Emma has never done Christmas shopping but there is something about this place that she wants to do all the Christmas things.

They exited a shop where Grace brought a tea set for her parents. Emma wanted to get something special for Mary Margent because she has been so nice to her, all the other foster homes she has been in they were mean.

Emma and Grace walked by Mr Gold`s pawn shop and Emma saw something in the window and she and Grace walked into the shop.

Gold came out from the back of the shop as the girls are looking at something in the window.

"Can I help you girls with something?"

"Yes, can you tell me about this music box please." Emma said as she pointed at a music box. "That`s lovely but has a sad story to it".

"It`s said it belonged to a princess who parents gave it to her when she was born but something happened and the music box ended up here."

"Cool, it`s plays magic". Emma said as she opened the lid, as she did this she cut her finger on the bit inside.

" ow How do you get it to play music?" Emma said as she gave Gold the box.

Gold took the box and played the music.

Emma knew the song when she was little, she would hum it to herself.

"I will take it."

Gold took the box to the counter and without the girls looking took out a potion bottle and put the blood in it.

Emma and Grace followed him to the counter.

"This will make a nice gift." "Ya, I think Mary Margent will like it."

Gold put the music box in a box when a bag and Emma brought it and took the bag and she and Grace started to walk to the door when Emma turned around. "That song where did it come from?"

"The Princess`s parents sung it to her."

Emma and Grace exited the shop and Zelena came out from the back on the shop and Gold gave her the potion bottle with Emma`s blood in it.

At Zelena` house, Zelena is sitting at the table and in her hand is a potion bottle with a bit of blood Emma`s blood in it. Zelena is trying to take the magic out of the blood but it is hard to do because she doesn't have magic here but Emma does.

"This is not working she is powerful and I need that power." Zelena took out to other potion bottles with blood in both. (Snow`s and Charming`s) She put each blood in a bowl together and tired again.

Christmas Eva at the loft, Mary Margent is making hot chocolate with cinnamon and Emma is getting the film ready. Miracle on 34th street. Mary Margent came over with the hot cocoa and put them on the table and sat on the couch .

"I watched this at a group home when I was younger."

Emma and Mary Margent sat on the couch and starting watching the film.

Outside the loft, David stood there wanting to knock on the door but can`t. He put two presents down on the door map and walked away.

The sometime across town, Jefferson puts a present down on the door map at Grace`s house.

Christmas Day, Emma woke up and got dressed and went downstairs to Mary Margent cooking in the kitchen.

"Merry Christmas". "Merry Christmas".

After breakfast, Emma and Mary Margent sat around the Christmas tree and started opening presents.

Mary Margent opened her present from Emma the music box. "Aww, Emma this is lovely. Thank you."

Mary Margent gave Emma her present. Emma opened it, it`s a sketechbook and pencils.

"Oh, Mary Margent I love it. How did you know?"

"You left your sketchbook open on the table. You are really good."

Emma opened the front door to go to Grace`s when she saw two presents on the door map. She picked them up and took them inside. Emma gave one present to Mary Margent.

Emma opened her present which is a unicorn mobile and Mary Margent opened the present which is a necklace Snow warn in the Enchanted forest before Rumple took it.

"First my birthday now Christmas who left them."

One way or another Emma is going to find out who left them but it is what Zelena wants Emma to do for her plan to work.
