I was in the mines of Storybrooke, with Grandpa and the Dwarves. They were mining for fairy dust while I watching them. "Keep swinging, dwarves," Leroy said. Grandpa stopped and looked over at me. I smiled a little and Grandpa got back to work. Ruby walked in with a basket of food.

"They find any fairy dust yet?" She asked me as she handed me a cupcake. I took it. "No, not yet. But they will. When . . . When they do, we'll figure out a way to get Mary Margaret and my Mom back."

"I'll be back later with lunch," Ruby said and send me a smile before walking out. Grandpa stopped and got to put on his shirt. "I hate mine dust. Leroy! If you find anything, I'll be at the Sheriff's station," Grandpa said.

"You're taking over as Sheriff?" Leroy asked. "Stepping in. Until Emma gets back," Grandpa said. They both shook hands before Grandpa walked over to me. He pat my back as we both walked out.

...

Two days later, Grandpa and I arrived at the horse stables in Grandpa's truck. Grandpa got out. "Alright!" Grandpa said as I got out of the truck and I yawn as we both enter the stables. Grandpa chuckled. "Come on. What's with the yawn? This isn't school. It should be fun."

"I couldn't sleep," I replied as Grandpa wrapped an arm around my shoulder. We stopped. "Hey. I know. I miss 'em, too," Grandpa said. Then we started walking again. "Now, just think how happy Emma and Snow will be when they come home to find that you've become a proper girl fighter. Say hello to your steed," Grandpa said as we come to a row of stalls housing the horses.

"Is he mine?" I asked as I walked to a gray horse. Grandpa stopped me. "This one's yours," He said at a white horse with brown spots. I walked over to Grandpa and the horse. "Really? So . . . How do I get on him?"

"Oh, you're not riding today," Grandpa said. "I'm not?" I asked as Grandpa and I patted the horse. "No. There's much to learn before you hop in the saddle," Grandpa said. "Like what?" I asked. "Well, every morning, you'll have to muck out his stall. Then, you'll brush him and feed him. After school, you'll do it again. Every day, twice a day," Grandpa said.

"That's not riding, that's babysitting," I said. "Ah. Horsesitting. It builds an essential bond. The trust between warrior and steed," Grandpa said. "Okay. But, when will I ride him?" I asked.

"When the horse tells you. I'm going to go check in on the dwarves - see how the mining's coming. I'll pick you up later," Grandpa said with a smile and left. I patted the horse again. "So . . . Anything you want to tell me?"

Third Person POV
Regina was standing outside of Dr. Whale's room at the hospital. David arrived. "What's going on? I just got a call that Dr. Whale was attacked," David said. "You'll have to ask his doctors," Regina said.

"No. I am asking you," David said. "I came here to speak with him and discovered he was hurt," Regina said but David raised an eyebrow. "It's the truth!" She insisted.

"What else? What did you come here to speak with him about?" David asked. "Someone from my past. I believe he's come back. Daniel - his name is Daniel," Regina said. "The man you were supposed to marry. Snow told me what happened and . . . How it was her fault that he died," David said.

"Yes, he did," Regina said. "Well, then how could he be back?" David asked. "Whale. He believed he could bring him back from the grave and . . . I don't know how . . . But he has," Regina said. David crossed his arms, "You don't know how? Guess."

"He practices something more powerful than magic. Or, so I was told. All he needed was a heart, and he took one of mine," Regina said. David took her aside. "You have hearts here?" He asked. "In my vault. From our land," Regina said. "Whose heart did he take?" David asked.

"I have no idea. I took so many, it was impossible to keep track. I need to go. I have to help him," Regina said and she was about to walked away but David stopped her. "No. Where is he? Look what he did - he's dangerous," He said. "Not to me. He won't hurt anyone else, David, I promise," Regina said.

"You know I can't take that chance. You have two choices Regina - tell me where he is, or jail," David said. "I think it's like when you awoke from your coma. He's following his final thoughts to where he last met me - the stables," Regina said. David's eyes grew wide, "No. Rose. Rose's at the stables," He said and rushed out of the hospital, Regina followed.

Rose POV
I was brushing the horse in the stable, "Gramps says that you'll tell me when I'm ready to ride you. So . . . Anytime. Like, soon?" I asked. Suddenly, the horses become spooked. My horse pushed me to the ground and ran off. Then a man entered the stall.

"You . . . You got to stop. You're . . . You're scaring the horses," I said as I stood up. "A-Are . . . Are you hurt? Can I help you?" I extended my hand towards the man. "Let me help you."

Suddenly, the man grabbed me by the neck and lifted me off the ground. Regina and Grandpa arrived. "Daniel! Let her go!" Regina said. The man, Daniel dropped me to the ground, and Grandpa quickly pulled me out of the stall. "Are you okay?" Grandpa asked. "Yeah," I said. "Go. Go!" He said and I ran.
