The most powerful song

skatergirl94 asked for a oneshot of *6x20 spoilers!* Emma's POV as she sings her song to unfreeze her family and realises she was never alone.

Sorry, this one should have been posted yesterday. Don't know why it got skipped!

So, I've seen the season finale now. Safe to say, I'm feeling pretty empty. So...be gentle with me just now guys, please? JMAMK.

It all made sense now. That little tune. That tune that nobody else knew. No matter how many adults I had sung it to, hoping they could hum it back, nobody ever knew what song I was trying to sing. Well, how could they? It was my song. My song from my parents, that meant I was never alone. The song that was going to give me the strength to defeat the Black Fairy. At least for now. It was only now it was coming out properly. For years it had been pushing at the surface, desperate to break free. But now that my family were in such grave peril, it was time for it to be released.

They had made me the Saviour. I did not resent them for it, it was what the realm needed, and it had to be me. I was the product of their true love. They gave me their song to give me the power that I needed. Now I had to use that song to free them from the biggest evil we had ever seen.

I took their hands. I had put them through so much since the curse had broken. Every time the waves got a little choppy, I threatened to jump ship. Their message had finally sunk in. I couldn't run every time things got tough. I had too many people here who care about me…who loved me. I could free them from this. Their song had taught me that love was the most powerful magic of all. They were correct. Now I had to use that love, that power, and that song to hold her off.

She might still be threatening me, but I didn't care. I would defeat her. I had too much to lose.
