She knew everyone was staring at her, as she knelt beside Marion, holding her hand tightly. Robin lifted his wife into his arms, pulling her away from Cassandra.

"Who is she?" she heard someone whisper, as she grouched in the same position, as she listened to the town people talking about her.

Snow's voice cut through the chatter, "The meeting is over, we need Regina."

Cassandra felt her legs shaking, forcing her to sit on the floor, Regina was coming. "Call Emma also." Snow said to David.

Cassandra could hear them all leaving, as Snow came over to stand behind her, they were all still talking, David making a quick phone call before him and Robin began arguing in hushed tones.

"Who the hell is she?" Robin's voice raised slightly, "She could be like that Ice witch for all we know."

Cassandra shivered as Snow's hand rested on her shoulder, and she sat beside her, rocking her baby in one arm, as she carefully lowered herself.

"Who are you?" she asked

"I've been here since…the wicked witch's curse." She said, her voice faltering

"But you haven't as we would recognize you."

"Would you really, your majesty mayorness?" Cassandra hissed slightly, causing Snow to pull back slightly.

Cassandra looked around Marion was on the sofa, Roland, Robin and David standing by her side. Her hand slowly went to the knife at her side, she knew Snow would be watching. Sure enough the moment her hand grasped the knife, Snow leapt up, both arms holding her baby away from her.

Cassandra leapt up into a fighting stance.

"What do you want?" David shouted, moving quickly to stand by his wife

"I…." she started, unsure of what to actually say.

The door behind her opened, and in walked Emma and Elsa. Cassandra's fight or flight instincts immediately jumped, to run as far as possible. She dove in between the two blondes, sending Emma sprawling on the ground.

"What the hell." She heard, Emma say as she dashed down the corridor. David close behind her.

She shouldn't have been sent her, she knew none of these people as they were now, she couldn't do this, they had misplaced their trust all of them. She needed Henry, he was the saviour, it was in his blood.

Cassandra suddenly felt her legs seize together, and her arms press to body. She couldn't move, her feet weren't even touching the floor, she suddenly realised.

"Let me go," she screamed, struggling as hard as she could.

"Calm down, you'll only hurt yourself." Regina's cool voice, immediately relaxed her. "What's going on, David?"

"I was hoping you could tell us, the kid asked for you." He sighed,

"Let me down." She screamed again, she hated magic, and being trapped, this was her worst nightmare.

Regina carefully let the girl down, looking her up and down.

"Who are you?" she asked,

"I'm…I'm your daughter." Cassandra jumped on the first lie that came to her head.

"That's impossible." Regina coldly replied.

David grabbed her arms, pulling them behind her back, "Grab her knives." He said, nodding to Regina, who carefully approached her, removing her knives.

"Now you have a lot of explaining to do." David ordered, pushing her towards the mayor's office. This was the David she knew, rough and cold, it settled her nerves slightly.

She didn't know how in hell she was going to explain all of this.

David pushed her into the office, locking the door behind her and Regina. Cassandra looked round at all the faces judging her.

"Who are you?" Robin butted in immediately

"I will only speak to Regina." Cassandra spat back, finding a sudden burst of confidence. Why am I being so difficult, she thought, these were the people she was trying to save.

"Being difficult is just part of your nature, cassie." Henry laughed, spearing a fish out of the water.

"It's Cassandra." She growled, splashing him.

He quickly swooped her up, dangling her by her ankles.

"You've only turned ten, and you're trying to boss me about already."

"Put me down." She giggled and screamed, as he flung her into the air.

"You're still too little to command me, little warrior."

"You are in no position to negotiate." Emma cut in, before Regina had a chance to speak, she came closer to Cassandra, making her fidget, and looked her up and down.

"Tell us how you got into the town?" Snow asked gently, she remained distant though, rocking Neal.

"I was born here, just like Neal." Cassandra sighed, rolling her eyes. She hated herself for how she was acting, but she had learnt all her life not to trust people, and these people were strangers and the younger versions of people who would slaughter her loved ones. This was the first time her moody teenage self-had ever been able to manifest itself, and she had to admit a small part of her enjoyed being the nuisance.

"That is impossible, time hasn't been moving in this town long enough." Emma sniped, stepping closer to Cassandra.

"Who cares about her?" Robin butted in, "What about Marion?"

Regina nodded, and quietly walked over to kneel beside Marion, touching her cold cheek, then hovering her hands over her body, sensing with magic.

"My magic didn't do this." Elsa said, joining Regina and Robin, "The ice monster couldn't have done this."

Emma turned back to Cassandra from watching them, "If you tell us the truth about why you are here, perhaps we could help you?"

"You're wasting your time Regina." Cassandra said, turning her head away from Emma, with a purposeful movement.

"Did you do this?" Robin shouted, rushing at her.

Regina put her hand on his shoulder, steadying him, before quickly taking it away.

"I didn't hurt Marion, I don't have magic. Ask your ice bitch over there, to cure her, you need an act of true love. And well your lips aren't saving her Robin." Cassandra bitterly said.

Silence fell across the room.

"Is it true?" Robin turned to Elsa

"Yes, you need an act of true love to thaw her heart." Elsa sheepishly replied

"How do you know so much?" Regina murmured, turning to Cassandra

"I told you I will be born here."

"Will be?" Emma caught the odd phrasing immediately, and felt a pit in her stomach

"Yes, in about a year, after the great curse." Cassandra let the words tumble out quickly.

"You're trying to tell me, you are from the future?" Emma scoffed.

"Yes, Regina, Henry, Roland and Neal sent me back here, to stop our future from ever happening." Cassandra breathed out a sigh of relief.

"So who casts this curse then?" Emma sighed, she was dreading yet another mission, where she would be a saviour.

"You, Elsa and the Snow Queen, the three wicked sisters."
