Emma's eyes shot open it was blurry, she found herself laying down on her bed in her bedroom. Emma slowly glanced around the room it was very quiet, and her head was hurting like hell. How much had she drunk last night. Last Night!

The party, Neal, the proposal, her parents oh god her parents, her friends, the lost boys it all came back to her. Emma tried getting up from the bed but someone pulled her back down gently by the shoulders shushing her.

"Sush go back to sleep" Snow murmured to her daughter as she pushed back her hair from her face, she had a cloth and was dabbing her head. Emma knew this because of the coldness from the cloth and her mothers touch.

"What happened?"

"You passed out at the party from...I really do not know the amount drinks you had"

"I haven't drank that much since I was seven teen" Emma muttered putting her head to her forehead.

"You drank at seven teen!"

"What did you expect I had no parents that cared" Emma said smoothly not think much. Snow gave her a sad look of guilt.

"Then" Emma said trying to put light to the situation.

"Emma what were you thinking a party, you were grounded not to mention you were out all day apparently flying around town with your new fiancé. You are still recovering from a coma Emma!"

"So I'm not grounded anymore?"

"That's all you got out of that sentence"

"Yup"

"You are acting very different lately. I don't think I like it" Snow said concerned and curious, Emma had a lot of explaining to do especially about her 'friends'.

"I feel funny" Emma said very weakly, Emma started to feel weak then a second later she felt fine.

"Well I can imagine, you young lady have a lot of explaining to do" Snow stared down at Emma sternly, maybe she will crack and explain.

"About what?" Emma only remembered the big details of last night, that was some party.

"Emma your friends. Who were they"

"Oh you mean Elizabeth, Nathaniel, and Alexander there harmless. You don't have to worry about them" Emma shrugged it off trying to reassure her they could be trusted.


"So we found Emma, great but now what do we do?" Alexander asks them being bored just sitting around in the hideout they conjured yesterday when they arrived.

"We wait till she seeks us out"

"How will she know?"

"We left a note and map with Seraphina, she will receive it when she is alone"

"So we just sit around and do nothing, what if she doesn't come?" Elizabeth asks on the same page as Alexander, apparently all Nathaniel did was be on his computer communicating with the others or trains. Elizabeth was always never understood how Emma and him were closer friends then she will ever be. "Then we go find ?" Alexander proposed.

"We train" Nathaniel said simply then threw a dagger into a practice dummy outside though the window.

"Show off" Elizabeth stalked outside the door.

"I heard that!" Nathaniel shouted laughing at her, this should be a fun trip.


Emma got up after shooing Mary Margaret away, she had promised the brunette she was fine and it was just a hang over. She was fine right. Right?

Emma gathered some clothes to change into for the day she decided on her red top with jeans, her tan boots with her hair up in a pony tail.

She made her way down the metal stair case into the kitchen to get some coffee to wake herself up. Because god did she need it, Emma couldn't last the day unless she had her fix of coffee or hot chocolate with cinnamon.

Emma reached over the counter to reach the pot of coffee when someone spooked her.

"Do you mind explaining yourself Emma" Emma dropped the coffee pot, she quickly used her foot by reflex and caught it in her arms. Holy shit how did I do that!

"What the hell do you like scaring people. I thought that was Gold's thing" Emma faced her parents who were sitting down at the kitchen table waiting for her.

"You should be scared, you snuck out last night after being grounded for sneaking out!" David slammed his newspaper down on the table standing up going towards Emma. Emma knew this was coming she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"I AM 28 FOR GODS SAKE I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!"

"We know how old you are but Emma, you were taken by bad people who are trying to kill you and they are still out there we were worried sick you could have at least called us were your parents!"

"Why do you suddenly care,look who finally believes me took you long enough. Why should I call you, yeah you listen but do you believe me NO. You are not my parents my parents died!" Emma marched upstairs to her bedroom with tears in her eyes, she was angry she had to get away. Emma didn't care if she hurt them because they deserved it, all of it and more. They didn't believe her and because of it she was taken and tortured; she had the scars to prove it.

Emma opened her bedroom door quickly and slammed it behind her she went over to her bed, Emma kicked her bedside table knocking over the photo of her and her parents. Emma calms down instantly, she slowly picked up the photograph of the floor, the glass had a little crack in it other than that it was fine. When Emma touched the frame the picture came to life, making the people move like a silent video.

Emma put the photo back in its rightful place, she glanced across her room with noting to do. A few seconds later her window flew open and in came a fluffy white owl just like out of harry potter. Emma just followed her instincts and held out her arm, the owl perched on it and in it's beak was a letter.

Emma took the letter out of it's beak with her other hand, curiosity got the best of her.

"What's your name?"

"Seraphina"

"Holy shit you can talk?"

"No, I am talking to you through your mind. We are connected you are my master"

"Since when?"

"Please talk through your mind, your eavesdropping parents can hear you" The owl gave her a scowl that Emma interpreted as 'duh'.

"The other want to talk they know you have questions"

"Who are the others?"

"The seekers they are waiting for you at the temporary hideout"

"Okay where?"

"Letter" Then the owl flew out the window Emma ran up to the window after it, she watched as if flew up into the sky and into the forest of trees.

Emma decided to read the letter.


Dear Emma,

It has been many years since we have last seen each other me Elizabeth, and Alexander have been on our own since we were separated because of the foster system. Until recently have we meet up with one another, we each found out in our own way that we are from the enchanted forest. Sent to this world long ago only to wait for the savior to find us. We became friends in the orphanage remember the seekers you came up with,the name turns out to be prophesied. The prophecy states that we are to join the savior in her quest to defeat darkness and restore peace to all the realms. I know this is very difficult to except for you, so can you please meet us at our temporary hideout to talk.

P.S. there's a map on the back of this note. -

From, Nathaniel


Emma got up off her bed and made her way down stairs. She made her way to the door, getting her coat off the rack and putting it one, she held the note in her hand thinking this over.

"Where are you going?"

"Out" Emma walked out the door leaving her parents standing there in tears.

"Shouldn't we follow her?"

"Give her an Hour and if she is not back we go looking. Even though Emma is mad she needs to be reminded that we are always there for her and that we care"

"Okay I just don't like seeing her so hurt.." Snow looked down sorrowfully, she knew it was hard for Emma. But it was hard for them too, Emma was here but she was different.


Emma made her way down main street towards the woods, as she was walking she tried to prepare herself for what might happen next. Living in a town like storybrooke, nothing is every simple or normal. Emma continued walking down main street in complete thought when a man she recognized as District Attorney ass hat who grilled Mary Margaret while she was innocent stood right in front of her way blocking her path on the sidewalk with a group of men behind him backing him up.

"may you please move, your blocking my way "

"Sheriff Swan or is it Sheriff Nolan no wait it must be Sheriff Blanchard oh wait that's right they haven't had your name changed I wonder why that is"

"Excuse me?"

"I'm just saying if they really loved you, you would think they would make you officially their's on paper that must mean a lot to you after your adoptive parent were killed"

Emma got up in his face mad that he would talk about her parents, how did he even know this.

"Who the hell are you really?"

"Your Grandfather" Emma just stood there shocked, Snow and David never mentioned him at all.

"What?"

"You didn't know?" George smiled a little thinking this could work to his advantage.

"Your Charming Father, ruined my life took my kingdom. I offered him family but he rejected me and chose love over the kingdom. Your mother and Father ruined my life and they will pay"

"Why all they did was love each other and follow their hearts. Maybe if you accepted your son's choice you would still have had him and maybe your kingdom"

"You know nothing you poor pathetic orphan!"George bellowed towards Emma angrily steeping forward her, Emma went straight for her holster but she forgot her gun walking out being distracted by her parents and the letter.'Crap'

"Wait where did you hear those words?" Emma knew those words, they were in her nightmare every night. Emma may have stopped screaming but it didn't mean they went away.

George started laughing evilly, he kicked Emma to the ground.

"Lets take her to the town line, some people would love to see her" Then george kicked Emma in the face very hard causing her to see black spots, then she saw nothing.


"Where is she!" Alexander whined throwing a knife in the air twirling it, then catching it in his hand perfectly.

"I don't know something must have happened, Seraphina says that she was headed here" Nathaniel explained worried, Emma should have been here. He calculated the average time for a person to travel the distance from her apartment to their spot, according to him and he was never wrong she should have been there twenty minutes ago.

"We should take the brooms to search the town for her, Check all the way to the town line. Communicate through the headsets, lets head out!" They all summoned their broom sticks and flew off to scope a perimeter of the town.

Alexander set out in a different direction with Seraphina following him. The Charming apartment they needed to know.


"She has been out there for a while I am going after her" Snow declared going towards her coat on the rack, charming went to stop her when the window flew open and a snowy owl flew in and perched on one of the kitchen chair tops.

Snow went over to the owl wondering where it came from, the only animal she had been in communication with after the curse broke was her bluebird. She didn't recognize this owl anywhere.

"Greeting Emma's Parent's my name is Seraphina"

"You can talk!" Charming was shocked, snow knew who to communicate to animals but not this way.

"I am talking through your minds, god you are just like Emma that girl gives me a headache sometimes. Is she here?"

"You know Emma?"

"Yes she is my master only she has long forgoten so, last time she saw me she was a mere child with such a happy spirit. Then some stupid boy named Drew crushed it completely"

"Your Emma's Owl?"

"Oh god yes we have been over this, where is Emma?"

"We don't know she got upset at us and took off, I am afraid I was too rough on her. We just got her back and I can't handle her being lost anymore"

"We both were" Snow adds taking Davids hand in hers.

"That may be so, but Emma is missing"

"What do you mean missing?"

"Last time I saw Emma, she was walking down main street on her way to meet up with The Seekers. I went back to inform Nathaniel and the others when I got back to check on her she was gone. The only person I saw was a man with Gray Hair and Blue eyes, the men with him called him King Gerold...no wait that wasn't it...oh wait it was King George"

"You are positive his name was george" Charming was getting angrier by the minute especially when Seraphina nodded her head the best an owl could.

Just then the Charming's apartment door busted open by Alexander and walked into the door and close to David and Snow.

"They have been spotted at the town line Nathaniel is already on his way there we have to go Seraphina" Elizabeth held out her arm for the owl to fly onto, they ran to the door in a hurry.

"Wait let us come with you!" Charming and snow ran after them through the door outside.

"You want to save Emma"

"She is our daughter" Snow told them pleading they take them with them to help.

"Okay Emma's mom you ride with me"

"Emma's dad with Alexander, let fly" Elizabeth and Alexander held out their hands, two broomstick flew into them. They mounted them normally, Snow and David just watched as they did so seeing the brooms hover over the ground.

"Hurry" Snow got on behind Elizabeth and David the same with Alexander.

They were going to save Emma again.


Emma knew she was laying down on something hard kinda like asphalt, she couldn't see anything because of the blindfold they placed over her eyes. She noted that her hands were tied together and there was little mobility, Emma just stayed where she was and stayed put until someone made themselves known. She hoped it was that Spencer jerk, she really wanted to have at it with him.

Emma waited for a while until she felt someone lift her up and put her in a metal chair, she could tell now she was on blacktop but she did not know where.

Snow,David, Alexander, Elizabeth and Nathaniel were all hiding watching from a far waiting to strike. The seekers were in tree's while David and Snow were on ground level hiding behind a big tree. Snow and David wanted to save her right now, but Emma's 'friends' thought that to be un wise and wait to see what they wanted from Emma first then strike.

George got out of his car and walked towards Emma's chair right near the town line where about five cars full of Council agents on the other side of the barrier spell waiting. Some of the council agent stood closer to the line to talk. "HE WANTS HER ALIVE"

George roughly ripped of Emma's blindfold from her eyes.

"MISS. SWAN!" it took Emma a couple of second before her eyes adjusted. Emma noted that George held a gun close to her face taking the safety off to intimidate her.

"How did you survive the torture?" Emma looked around her she noted that they were at the town line, and george and his men were not alone. A few feet away were Tamara's goons just waiting to get into the town. Snow and David watched the whole conversation, Emma did not deserve to be asked these questions.

"I ask the give me the answers" Emma clenched her hand behind her back, checking what was holding her hands together. Ziffer cuffs she has had worse.

George noticed he wasn't getting a response so he looked towards the council agent for advice. One of the agent nodded his head toward the gun.

George took the but of his gun and hit Emma in the face, causing her to muffle a scream which she did. David made a move to run forward, but Snow held him back with all her might.

"Did someone say something to you?" George asked another question wanting an and Snow were confused they watched the memories of the torture, but they couldn't get access to the day she was found.

George got in her face asking another one. "Did they tell you anything?" Emma refused to answer so he hit her again with his gun only this time harder making Emma scream out in pain. This time David had to hold Snow back as she fought his grip, but he didn't let her go.

Emma sat in the chair breathing in and out, trying to calm herself to make the pain go away. She finally answered him, she had enough.

Emma looked all around again sensing other people than herself and her captives, she noticed Nathaniel, Alexander, and Elizabeth high up in tree's in hiding. Her parents weren't here, they were safe away from the danger.

"Yes they did" George nodded his head and asked Emma something again.

"What did they tell you Savior" George looked to the Council agents again, telling them they were going to have an answer.

Emma had her head down breathing.. then she looked up at Georges face angrily.

"They told me I'm going to kill all of you" Emma was looking fully in Georges eyes and towards the agents behind the barrier. Snow and David have never seen Emma act like this, she looked like she was telling the truth.

George starts laughing in mockery to Emma, he turns to face the agent who have started laughing as well.

George goes close to Emma's face still laughing. "Your delusional your ziff cuffed to that chair" Emma brought her hand out from behind her back free of the ziffer cuffs. George's men got alarmed at seeing this.

"Not any more" George goes to swing at Emma but Emma ducks bringing the chair from under her standing up. George goes to punch her again and she uses the chair as a shield, then Emma slams the chair in George's face sending him backward onto the ground.

Emma swings behind her hitting the one of George's men in the chest then the side of his neck then his head knocking him out. Another one of George's men is too far for her to reach and has a gun, he goes to shot her Emma rolls on the ground towards george grabbing his gun and shooting the guy in the leg before he can notice she has moved from her original spot. One guy rans away into the forest, Emma quickly goes over to george and checks his pulse to make sure he is alive. He is.

Emma runs after him into the forest in the direction of the guys who was getting away when Nathaniel jumps down twenty feet toppling the guy knocking him out in the process.

"Nate I had him"

"Sorry Emma you didn't, what have you been doing lately your off your game" Nathaniel laughed making a joke, Emma didn't have time for jokes.

"Lets go deal with that sleaze ball, he says he is my Grandfather. Man my family is f****d up" Nathaniel laughs and follows her back to the line.

Emma goes over to George and hoist hims up, and throws him over the town line. He instantly gets surrounded by the blue light and lost his memories. The agents surround him and help him up, they escort him to one of their truck explaining he got beat up by a women.

One of the Agent goes to the town line and shouts a message to Emma.

"THIS IS NOT OVER SAVIOR, WE WILL RETURN. THIS NOT OVER"

"I think it is. Let go guys" Emma and the seekers walked through the forest, the seekers were forgetting something but did not know what they had their leader back, she remembered.

"Emma?" David and Snow were behind them with questioning and worried glances their face expressed more emotion then she could read.

She was in trouble, probably a good spanking from her father for doing that to her grandfather. Oh boy she was in deep S**T
