Using the Saviour

A guest asked for a oneshot of *6x12 spoilers!* Gideon not trying to kill Emma, but kidnapping her and forcing her to defeat the Black Fairy instead. So yes, you have requested it before :P. There's just a bit of a queue just now :).

"I don't know what you think I'm going to be able to do for you…"

"You know exactly what you can do!" Gideon snapped. He had lost it. Years of torture at the Black Fairy's hand had left him desperate for any solution he could find to save himself and the others she tortured. Right now, a Saviour seemed a good bet. Emma wasn't so sure. Her powers were so faulty right now. She was just going to end up dead. "You're the Saviour! Or is that all a front?"

"No, it's not. It's just…my powers. They're not exactly working very well at the moment…"

"Well make them!" Gideon demanded, striking Emma across the face. Emma hadn't been expecting it. She gasped in pain, falling to the floor. Gideon grabbed her by the scruff of the neck to haul her to her feet.

"If you lay another hand on her, it will be the last thing you ever do." Came a cool voice from across the hall. Emma looked across. She smiled. Her parents. Charming had his sword pointing in their direction, whilst Snow had an arrow aimed right at Gideon's head. Knowing he couldn't take them both on, Gideon dropped Emma and ran out of the back entrance. Emma's parents then quickly approached her, with Charming helping her to her feet.

"Are you ok?" He asked her. Emma nodded, slightly shaken.

"Poor kid." She sighed. "He just wants help."

"Poor nobody. What he has been through must be awful, but that doesn't ever give him the right to hurt you." Snow told her. Together, she and Charming pulled Emma into a tight hug. They could have lost her, if Gideon had managed to take her to the Black Fairy. They were all too aware of that. They were just grateful they'd got there on time.
