I ran to the park, Michael right behind me but Emmy struggling to keep up. At the park, Bae and Henry were sword-fighting, and Emma was watching from the bench. They made a cute family, even if Emma wouldn't admit it. I wanted to speak with her first, so I went quietly up to her.
"Emma."
She turned around and looked shocked, and made as if to yell, but I shook my head, so she lowered to a whisper.
"Elizabeth! You're alive!"
"Thanks for the observation", I said.
"How?"
"Long story. I'll tell it later. Can you get these two rooms at Granny's?"
"Um... yeah, I think."
"Cool, thanks", I replied. "I've gotta go talk to my brother."
She went off with Michael and Emmy, and just for the heck of it, I turned myself invisible. I snuck up right behind Bae and said, "Boo."
"Gah, who was that?!", he asked.
I smirked and turned myself visible again. "Oh, just your little sister, playing my games."
"Elizabeth!", he and Henry both yelled at the same time.
"But you - you"
"Yeah, I know", I said. "Void."
Bae looked at the bench and noticed Emma's absence. "Where did Emma go?"
"Oh, I asked her to check my new friends into Granny's."
"Wait... you made friends in the void?", Henry asked.
I rolled my eyes. "No. I got rescued from the void. I made friends in prison."
"PRISON?!", they both yelled at the same time.
"Oh, chill out", I said. "Anyway, great seeing you, gotta go find my Papa."
"Good luck with that", Bae said. "Ever since you 'died' he's been all depressed and no one's been able to find him."
"Did... anyone try?", I asked.
Bae shrugged. "We... looked for him at Granny's."
I gave him a look, which he refuted with. "He ran off with my mother and later sold me to Pan!"
He had a point. I went off to the docks to find my Papa.
"Papa!", I called, as soon as I was within earshot.
He looked up, and clearly could hardly believe what he saw. "El.. Elizabeth?"
"Yes, it's me", I said.
He looked at me for a moment before running up and hugging me, tears and his eyes. "I thought you were dead", he said.
"Well the void just sucks your soul, doesn't kill you. But I was rescued, and taken to a lovely little prison, which I broke out of with a couple of friends."
His eyes widened. "You WHAT?!"
"Um.. long story. Tell you later. Bye!", I said, and ran off to see Charlotte.
"Elizabeth!", she exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's me", I said.
"I'm so happy to see you! They said you died!"
I shrugged. "Police told me you died once. Never believe what you hear."
She laughed. "So, I heard you made some new friends?", she asked.
"Yeah, right down the hall. Let's go say hi."
"Ok."
We walked down the hall, and I knocked on the door of Emmy and Michael's room. Michael answered, Emmy coming up behind him.
"Thank you, Elizabeth", he said, "For rescuing us."
"Yeah thanks", Emmy added.
"No problem", I replied, smiling. "Welcome to Storybrooke."
