Emma just laid there in her tears sleeping, she wanted to be where they were where ever they were but that was impossible they were dead she saw it, they made her watch. They broke her when she was down.


Flashback:

The next day Emma was starting to wake up in her cell, she was in pain but she has had worse growing up in the foster system will harden you like that. She tried to sit up a little, she managed to sit up a little but not much the bastard knew how to torture people he must have done it to other people before too.

I cannot let them get to me, if I let down my guard they will knock me down then I won't be able to get up again and fight. I need to find a way to escape that was obvious as much, next time they came to get her she would fight them I would be able to fight. Emma sat down to wait for something anything to happen so she can escape this prison. She closed her eyes for a minute recalling the conversation with Snow in the morning trying to tell her that Tamara was bad news.

'I acted like a kid to her, she always bring out the child in me for some reason. She told me that she wanted to talk, I wanted to tell her that I had to leave soon but couldn't bring myself up too for some reason, thinking she would think I want to leave them. I really want more than anything to stay with them and never leave their side again, but I have to save people and save the people I love from dangers I will bring. I have to protect my family they are the only thing that keeps me going everyday for anything and everything I do. She wouldn't understand no one would what I went through being alone in this world day and day out people telling me, putting images in my head that since my parents left me on the side of the road then I was garbage nothing, just a person, a mistake to have that image in your head everyday of your life, hating them for being the cause in all my problems. Then to have it all be a lie, that I really was wanted and loved, loved so much. I can't blame them for any of it, or anyone and they all act as if they had been there the whole time with me growing up like they know my whole life story already. They don't know anything, and I can't tell them it will hurt them so much.'

Keys went into the lock on the cell door, Emma opened her eyes quickly. Two guys with sunglasses and trench coats took both of my arms dragging me from my cell. This was my chance to escape act even more weak then strike undetected. They were in the hallway when Emma struck, she stood up on her own and punched one guy quickly knocking him out, the other one started to fight her she fought him hard she was winning they guy fell to the ground. Emma walked slowly to door, the fight took a lot out of her, she saw an exit she picked up her pace then she felt electricity. She turned around and saw Tamara with one of those sticks Greg used on her the other day, only this time it was electrocuting her; Emma went down on her knees the two guard came beside Emma and took her by the arms again gruffly. T

They dragged her into a room, this time they tied her to a chair with handcuffs. Tamara came in shortly she walked slowly to Emma. "That was a close call , we would have missed you Emma" she said in a mocking laugh. She went up to Emma's ear "Your never getting out of here, your never going to see your family again" Emma started to get angry "I will find a way. Family always finds one another" she said to the bitch through clenched teeth. "You may find them, but who says they will be alive" she said quickly to Emma she knew she would get a reaction out of Emma, if the savior had no people to love it would cut off her reason to live making us break her even faster.

"What Are YOU TALKING ABOUT WHAT DID YOU DO" Emma shook in her chair trying to get up, from the restraints. She started glowing bright white angry ready to help her family, she was angry which was dictating her magic. Tamara saw this she went over to the corner of the room and wheeled over a TV with a DVD player, she put in the disk and the screen came to life. The first thing she saw was David he was underwater and was drowning "DAD" Emma really fought with the chair now she wanted to kill everyone in the room, he finally stopped moving in the water and started to fall. Emma started to cry, the camera came onto snow in the loft kitchen drinking sitting down reading her book, someone came up behind her and shot her. Emma was full-blown sobbing "MOM" she didn't care about Tamara anymore she ducked her head down trying to avoid watching the video.

Tamara pulled Emma's hair making her head go up and she was forced to watch as her mother slowly bled out on the floor in the apartment. She couldn't take it her parents were dead and she was an orphan again. When emma thought it was over it showed Neal and Henry in the yellow bug driving, they were in the middle of the road down main street when Neal went to stop for the light when he noticed the brakes have been cut. The car swerved then hit another car flipping it over two times until it landed finally but Neal and Henry were dead. Emma couldn't take it she shook her head trying to get out of Tamara's grip on her head, but she gave up. Tamara let go of her head, which hung down staring at the floor with no reason to want to lift there was no reason to fight anymore, she didn't even want to live.

Tamara backed away from Emma as she signaled for guards to take her back to her cell. Emma looked up at Tamara in tears "Just do it. Please Kill me" Emma begged her softly. Tamara grinned as big as can be the Savior was broken, "Bring her to the table" they dragged her following Tamara to another room.

Emma went on the table voluntarily without the guards forcing her, she didn't care anymore she wanted the pain to be over. Tamara pulled out her phone "Greg its done she wants to die" she said into the phone Emma didn't listen because nothing mattered anymore. Greg came into the room as quick as he could, he looked toward Emma with a look of almost sadness for her. Greg silently put on the wires on Emma's pulse points; "You know even though the people we love are gone, we find a purpose in life to make sure others don't suffer the same fate" before Emma could say anything he walked away, then the pain came and it was black again, but this time Greg's word sunk in and she found maybe something to fight for even for a little while.


David watched from the doors as Emma turned on her side and looked out the window looking so lost; he tried to comfort snow but her eyes were on their daughter the whole time. He walked over to Regina who was stroking henry's hair while he slept "Regina can you phone Dr. Hopper Emma may or may not need to speak with him. Please" she felt bad for them,she slowly got up and went to use her cellphone.

"Regina its late is everything all right. Did you use magic" he sounded as if he was getting up.

"No it's not I'm calling about Emma we need you to come to the hospital immediately"

"I'm on my way" he hung up in a hurry.

Archie arrived their five minutes later, he went over to Snow and David. "I'm so sorry for what has happened to your family and I am here to help in a way you need me" Archie told them sincerely, Snow had unshed tears in her eyes, David looked more worried for Emma. "It's Emma Whale said that she might need to talk to you. It has been too long since I have seen let alone talked to my daughter while she was awake" Snow looked to him begging to go in and get it over with so she can she her child.

"Of course, given the fact that Emma has been kidnapped" he asked unsure but they nodded in response, he hoped it wasn't' true. "Then she will probably have trauma, but given we are talking about Emma she will be fine"

Whale came back shortly, "When Emma woke up again in the exam room she asked me begging me to stop touching her" Whale said to Emma's parents grimly. Snow couldn't take the separation from her daughter any longer she took David by the arm towards Emma's room.


Snow and David walked over to Emma's bedside just like countless times before, the only difference this time was Emma was aware of what was happening around her she was awake.

Snow sat on the bed getting as close to Emma as she could, was crying in her sleep, snow reached her shaking hand to Emma's face and wiped away her tears off her cheek's just like in the nursery. Snow pushed Emma's hair out of her face and behind her ears very gently, Emma moved into snows touch immediately without even knowing it. Snow noticed emma shifting towards her touch, which brings her to start smoothing her daughter's hair needing to tell emma her mommy was here and she was safe.

Emma started talking in her sleep a little it started out as just gibberish then turned to soft words.

"I don't know" Emma said in whisper, snow and David listened to her just mainly to listen to Emma's voice after week of not hearing it. "What ring. I don't..." Emma started moving her head a little. Snow and David heard her, David gets up from the bed and phone's gold.

"Gold, Emma said something about the ring in her sleep" David didn't have to hang up because Gold appeared into the room in seconds.

"Are you sure she said the word ring not something else"

"I don't have a ring" Emma said softly in her sleep.

David looked over to Emma then back to him, Gold got the picture right away. "They must have high resources to have asked her about the ring. We have to cloak the town with a spell, they will be coming for her now they know where she is" Gold said sadly to them.

"Why would they want Emma" Snow asked worried for her child, and her family.

"Because she is the Savior, and whoever they work for wants her dead. They will just keep coming in numbers until they succeed they won't stop until someone does something about them" Gold looked toward Emma's frame.

"Out of the question, she is not going anywhere not anymore. Emma will not leave us we have been separated for far too long" Charming shouted at Gold.

"Charming"

Snow hastened him to stop shouting. They looked toward the bed, emma was moaning in her sleep from the noise of her father yelling. Snow and David slowly inched closer toward the bed and gold left the room to let the family be together. Snow gasped as she saw her daughter's eyes move under the her eyelids, the they slowly opened.


Emma slowly tried to open her eyes as the light seeped in them she closed them as quickly as humanly possible a shot of searing pain went through out her skull. There was immense pain but not as much when she first opened her eyes a little, she started to get her senses back she felt pain all over her body. She felt the sharp feeling of an I.V. in her arm and an oxygen tube under her nostrils. She started to hear the monotone of a beeping machine and some muffled voices. The smell of sterilization wafted into her nose, she knew that smell so many times she had to smell it growing up she knew she was in a hospital. Emma moved her head as much as she could, she tried to open her eyes again everything was really blurry.

Emma looked to her left and saw what she guessed as a machine, and I.V. and fluids on a pole. She looked to her sides a little trying to figure out what was going on and if Tamara and Greg or even Rivers let her go, or if she was dreaming. She closed her eyes trying to use all her energy to move anything, but all she got to move were her fingers.

Snow watched intently as Emma started to wake up, Emma slowly opened her eyes then quickly closed them she tried to move around a little. Snow moved closer to her little girl, waiting for her fully wake up after week and weeks of waiting for her to do as such. Snow sat down on Emma's hospital bed and reached for her daughter's frail fingers.

Emma felt someone put their hand in hers, she knew that grip but it was impossible she was dead and she wasn't coming back. Emma started to cry just thinking about her family, they were all dead and she was all alone again. Snow saw that Emma had started to cry, she wiped away the tears from Emma's cheeks with her thumb lovingly. Emma knew that touch, there it was again she was hallucinating that her mother was there thinking it was a new way for the council to torture her in an even sicker way.

"Emma, sweetheart open yours eyes" Snow said to her hoping she heard her. Emma started sobbing now, she couldn't take it.

"ssh. It's okay your safe now Mommy's here. Emma it's okay"Snow was starting to cry herself, she tried to soothe Emma which did the opposite than calm her. Emma heard her mother's voice, that's when she didn't care if she was dreaming she wanted her mother back.

She opened her eyes.
