I should of been on high alert, at least done something more than what I did. I mainly stayed with Snow, she was the most comfort I had with Killian still gone. The time away was practically killing me inside cause every part of me wanted to find him and run into his arms. Feel the metal of the hook against my cheek, it all sounded nice but not something I could really do. Snow was laying on her bed mostly covered up and I looked over seeing David had made breakfast for Snow and was about to bring it over to her.

"Breakfast in bed, seriously?" Emma asked David

"What has happened is really hard on Mary Margaret." David said to Emma and looked at the plate he made "The least we can do is make sure she's eating."

"I think it's time to give the hot coco and the food to rest. It's time to haul her out of bed and move past this." Emma said

David sat the plate down looking at his daughter "it's a little harsh, don't you think? She took Cora's life."

"You both need to stop fighting, it's not helping her." Amira said to them

Emma nor David looked at me and I sighed knowing my opinion didn't matter to them. It was still my sister, David's wife and Emma's mother but we all had different opinions on how this was going to work out. Snow wasn't budging from under the cover and David didn't know she went to Regina to kill her but I did. Henry soon came downstairs to where all of are.

"Is everything alright?" Henry asked

"Everything is fine, get your coat kid." Emma said "Your gonna be late."

"Bye Gramps." Henry said and waved bye to me as he put his coat on.

Emma put her own coat on "I know you think she needs our help but at the end of the day, she's the only one who can help herself."

As Emma and Henry left and David went over by the door, Snow finally got up and got herself moving so I moved from the bed. I was impressed she'd even get up let alone help herself to something.

"Good Morning." Snow said to David

"Hey' David said and walked over "I made you some eggs."

I was noticing she was packing things in her bag which I wondered what it was she was up to. I was curious on what she was going to do and she seemed determined.

"Where are you going?" David asked

"I'm thinking of going in the woods for a little while." Snow said

"I'll come along." David said

"I need to do this alone but I'm taking Amira with me. Hook still isn't back and I think she's been getting annoyed with the crew men hanging over shoulder." Snow said "Besides I know you've been wanting to work in the bean field."

Snow walked out and as I was about to follow her David grabbed my arm and had me look at him.

"Is she ok?" David asked me

"Just give her time, she'll get through this." Amira said

I followed behind Snow wanting to know she'd be ok but since she was only letting me go with her I knew it had to be for a reason. So I sat behind watching as she aimed a few arrows at a bullseye she made on a tree seeing she was concentrating on aiming on it. Her arrows going near or either in the bullseye she had.

"Your doing well, why are you still holding guilt?" Amira asked

"We used Regina to kill her mother, I still can't get why this doesn't bother you." Snow said "Your a princess, we promised to stay good for mom."

"I told Killian a long time ago I'd break that promise to get revenge for mom. So now I have and I'm at peace with it." Amira said

Snow pulled her music out of her one ear she had it in hearing something close by so I stood up curious.

"What do you think that was?" Amira asked

"I don't know but we're going to find out." Snow said

We walked forward going to investigate on who made the noise and when we came to the area we came across a cracked arrow. I figured Snow must of missed somewhere but we heard the sound of a door closing. As we went forward we saw a trailer that was worn over time and we carefully checked it out. Snow opened the door as we walked in.

"Anyone in here?" Snow asked

"Just me." A male voice said

We turned to see who it was that said that as we looked seeing August Booth or better known in our land as Pinocchio. On his leg was the other part of the arrow that was missing from the broken one we'd came across outside.

"August?" We said as he smiled

We sat in the seats there snow sitting on the couch with August as he told his story to us. We were still in shock considering the curse had broke so we didn't know what to make of all this.

"The curse Broke." Snow said

"Not for me." August said "when it was lifted I could move again but i stayed like this." as he looked over at me then back at Snow "this is my own punishment. Not the Queen's, I did this to myself."

"August I'm sor sorry." Snow said

"We both are, you don't deserve this." Amira said

"But you don't have to hide." Snow said to him as he looked at her "there are people in storybrooke who care about you. Emma, your father."

"How is he?" August asked us "My papa"

I smiled knowing this wasn't the normal by a long shot but we could get used to it. I had to admit that even wood He knew his mistakes.

"He misses you." Snow said

"I know" August said looking down but then looked at us "But I can't let him see me like this. Or Emma."

The way he talked about Emma, I'd of almost considered he had an attraction to her, not that it wouldn't be hard but she deserved happiness. I knew that for a fact no matter how much it was hard for her everyone deserved to be happy. Snow mentioned that Henry's father was in town and that Emma could use him. I noticed a difference when he asked about Emma and Neal being back together it was different.

"No, he's engaged to someone he met back in New York." Snow said

August sighed "I was hoping." August said "that's my problem hoping."

"Hopes not a bad thing to have. I have to hold on to hope every day." Amira said

"The father of your child, is he in town?" August asked me

"No, he's not. He went after Rumpelstiltskin and Neal put him in a storage room back in New York. I'm hoping he returns to town soon." Amira said

"So you did reunite with him before that happened?" August asked and I nod

He started talking about never needing redemption when he looked at Snow, never needing salvation or forgiveness. He didn't know about the horrible thing Snow worked with me on and it wasn't like we were going to tell him.

"She might not, but I probably could." Amira said

"What are you talking about? You're Amira White the perfect princess." August asked

"She never told you or your father, I ran off joining the crew of the Jolly Roger. Fell in love with my Captain." Amira said and sighed "I couldn't even tell him at first so when the curse broke I hopped the first way back home and found him taking my 2nd chance to find him and tell him."

"No I guess you found yours." August said

It was later when I heard that Neal's Fiancee Tamara came to town. It wasn't my worry in fact it was the least of my worries. Yet I could feel that my hope was going to pay off sometime. I walked into the diner and sat up by the front counter on the high tops. I noticed Mr. Mandell was here having a piece of pie and Regina walked in.

"Hey Selena, what will it be?" Granny asked me

"I got a craving for a slice of the lasagna Granny." Amira said to her "and a coke please."

"You got it." Granny said as she went along.

Ruby came over where I was sitting and she looked at me seeing i was a bit depressed.

"Oh I hate it. You miss Hook, don't you?" Ruby asked

"Look many people don't like him but they don't know him like I do." Amira said and sighed "He'd fight to get back to me and to get his revenge."

Snow soon came in going over to Emma and Marco telling them about August and soon after they left the diner. I noticed a girl who I didn't recognize at all watching as my sister and her friends left. I had a feeling that was Tamara but it was the look she had that bothered me.

I caught up sometime later with Snow, Emma and Marco as the three of them were talking. I wondered what they were talking about at the time but as i got closer i caught what Marco was telling Snow. The Wardrobe could of taken two people to the land without magic and he made the blue fairy lie. I saw Snow slap Marco and was shocked.

"Mary Margaret, what are you doing?" Emma asked

"Yes Snow, why did you slap Marco? For telling the truth? For choosing to save his son?" Amira asked Snow who just looked at her hand

"It's ok I deserved that." Marco said

"No, No that wasn't me. Marco I am so sorry." Snow said to Marco "I'm just not myself, you just made a mistake. I would of done the same thing for my child. I forgive you, you were protecting your son."

Marco shook his head "No, I burden him with the weight no child should bear and I called it love." Marco said

Marco looked over at the rundown trailer and we knew from the last time being there that August should of been in there. What we didn't realize till we got inside was he was gone. I wondered where could a wooden man go,since the outside world didn't have magic I doubt he could of been able to go anywhere else since if he crossed the border then he'd lose the magic that made him move, right? Still there was so much going on I figured something had to of happened for him not to of been here.

We were heading back to town after searching and I wondered what was going on, why was all this happening. Sure Neal was now in Storybrooke and his finacee was here but I knew deep down something wasn't right. When Emma got the call that was a warning it only confirmed it more. We rushed over heading back to the Sheriff station to see August coming out stumbling. To me it was clear that someone attacked him to keep him quiet. When he fell we rushed over to him surrounding him.

"Emma..she..she.." Then he went silent

I covered my mouth knowing it shouldn't of been this way.

"this was supposed to be his second chance." Snow said

"Brave,selfless and true." Henry said

"what?" I asked him

"pinocchio story of how he became a real boy. Brave,selfless and true." Henry said

"We need to get mother superior." Marco said

Suddenly mother superior came over and she used her magic telling us if his actions today were Brave,selfless and true she could do it again. As we watched I noticed that where August was now was a boy.

"It's true." Tamara said to Neal

"Pinocchio" Marco said

Mother superior kneeled down by Pinocchio "Do better this time Pinocchio."

"I'm alive" pinocchio said seeing he had real hands and feet. "I'm a real boy."

"Pinocchio? That's.." Tamara didn't finish as she was looking at Neal shocked

Emma got down by him "Pinocchio you were trying to warn us about someone. I need you to think carefully if you remember." Emma asked him

Pinocchio looked at her as he was thinking really hard on what he wanted to say "I'm sorry, I don't remember. If I did I'd be truthful." Pinocchio said

I wasn't surprised he didn't remember, the man August was the grown version of him who knew more. Neal was nearby and I noticed his fiancee Tamara come over by him. I knew well enough not to trust Strangers and my instincts. Everything said something wasn't right about the whole situation in fact, it felt like this was all an act. August clearly knew the person who attacked him, someone not from our town.

"Look if you want to head back to New York,I wouldn't blame you. This isn't what you signed up for." Neal said

"What I signed up for, is you." Tamara said

I hated to just watch but Neal and Tamara kinda reminded me of myself and Killian in the beginning. I knew the day I admitted I was in love with him what I signed up for and he knew about me, my baggage that came with being involved with me. Still I listened just in case she said something out of the ordinary.

"I love you." Tamara said

"I can't believe how lucky I was when I met you." Neal said

"We were both lucky" Tamara said as she was smiling

Going home was easy and when I got in my apartment I went laying on the bed as I sprawled my arms out thinking. I looked over at the side that Killian should of been on by now. I missed him so much it hurt and tears were falling knowing I didn't understand how Emma could of let Neal put him in a storage closet. These last several days or weeks had been killer on my mood to the point I didn't care what happened anymore. Maybe that was good that even though I wasn't the happy person I could of been I was still dealing with everything that was heading towards us.

'Keep the hope, we'll be reunited sometime, right?' Amira thought

Soon I heard the door opening remembering I gave Snow a key I didn't move. She walked in my room seeing me laying there as I wiped my eyes and sat up.

"What Snow?" Amira asked

"Your upset, is everything ok?" Snow asked

"I'm dealing with my own problems. You are dealing with yours so we'll just keep it at that." Amira said

Snow came over sitting by me and gave me a hug "it's about Hook isn't it?"

"I'm angry at Emma, alright?" Amira asked

Saying I blamed Emma for Killian not being here was the truth, she knew to bring him back and yet he was still gone. Snow couldn't just tell me everything was ok when nothing in my life was ok anymore. My mood was all over the place and that didn't help me either. It only made me more crazier about all this and trust me I was counting down the days to the baby being born.

"We'll find a way to get him." Snow said and I just nod
