*After the curse is broken and Emma and Snow are stuck in the Enchanted Forest*

Emma shakes Mary-Margaret trying to wake her up. She stands up frustrated when Mary-Margaret doesn't make a sound. She tries to find a way out, but fails.

"Do you need help?"
Emma looks up, startled, "Oh, God. I didn't see you there."

The woman laughs, "Sorry about that. There are no ways out. I have tried. Our captors are pretty thorough."

Emma smiles, "I need to get out of here. My son is waiting for me back home. If Mary-Margaret would just wake up."

Emma walks back to where her mother was laying and tries shaking her again, "Come on! We have to get out of here."

The woman walks over, "How hard did she hit her head?"
Emma looks up at her, frowning, "I don't know. I was unconscious at the time."

The woman nods, "My name is Cora, by the way."

Emma pushes her hair out of her face, "Emma and this is…"

Cora laughs, "Snow White. I know who she is. I knew her when she was just a kid."

Snow groans and sits up, "What happened?"

Emma runs over to her and touches her hair, "You're ok? Thank God. I was freaking out for a moment."

Cora smiles, "Yes, I am glad that you are ok, Snow."

Snow stands up and pushes Emma behind her, "Stay away from her, Emma. This is Cora. Regina's mother. If you think Regina is bad; her mother is ten times worse. Trust me, I grew up here and I know her."

Cora frowns, "Snow…"

Snow shakes her head, "No. Stay away from my daughter!"

The door to their cell opens and a guy walks in, "You two! The leader of this camp wants an audience with you."

Snow and Emma follow him out and towards a hut where a man in heavy armor was standing.

Snow smiles, "Lance-A-Lot."

He smiles, "Snow White. If I had known you were the prisoner they brought in I would have never let them put you down there."

Emma scoffs, "Really? Lance-A-Lot?"

They reach the castle with Aurora and Mulan after facing the Ogre that had attacked them thanks to Emma's gun. She really needed to start listening to Mary-Margaret about this world. She was having a hard time not being in charge. Her whole life she had been by herself. She had had only one person to count on. That was until Henry found her and now she would do anything to get back to him.

Emma frowns as she looks up at the castle, "So this is where I was born."

Snow nods, "This is where you were supposed to grow up."

Mulan looks between the two, "Aurora and I will stand guard. You look for the wardrobe."

They nod and walk through the door. Emma follows Mary-Margaret up the stairs and into a room that looks a lot like a nursery.

Snow sighs sadly, "This is where you were supposed to learn how to walk and talk. This was supposed to be our life."

Emma touches her shoulder, "Life is messy. It never goes the way that you want it to."

Snow points towards the corner, "There's the wardrobe. We just need to find a way to get it working."

Emma walks towards it, "How do we do that?"
Snow shrugs, "We find magic or something."

Emma touches it, "And how are we supposed to do that?"

Lance-A-Lot walks in, "That's why I am here. To help you shoulder the heavy work."

Snow smiles, "You always did have my back, Lance."

He smiles, "Is this the magic wardrobe? It will get you back to your kid, right?"

Emma nods, "That's the hope."

Snow furrows her brow and pulls out a sword, "You're not him. You are Cora."

Emma looks between the two, shocked, "How do you know?"
Snow smiles, "You told Cora about your son not Lance. Isn't that right?"
Purple smoke swirls around him and Cora appears smiling, "You were always such a smart girl, Snow White. Now, use that head of yours and step out of my way. I need to get to Storybrooke to reconnect with my daughter."

Emma steps forward, "You will never get near Storybrooke."

She charges forward, but is thrown against the wall.

Snow glares, "Don't touch my daughter!"

She runs forward and rams into the wall as purple smoke reappears. Cora laughs from behind her as she stumbles. Snow turns around and watches as Emma sets the wardrobe on fire. Cora yells and disappears. Snow helps Emma up and sighs.

Emma looks down at the ashes, "Sorry. I know it was the only way home, but I couldn't let her near Henry."

Snow touches her arm, "I get it. You had to put your child first. I have been there."

Emma frowns, "All my life I have been alone and I thought my parent's abandoned me. I didn't realize how difficult it was for you. I didn't even believe in a different world like this."

Snow lets a tear slip down her cheek, "I know it was hard for you and if I could have gone with you then I would have, but leaving you alone was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life."

Emma hugs her, "We are all going to have a lot to get used to and I am going to get used to the idea of not always being alone. It may take a while."

Snow laughs, "I know."

Mulan runs in, "What happened in here? Where is Lance-A-Lot?"
Snow explains what happens while Emma looks around the room. She frowns at the toys that could have been hers. She thinks about the life that was taken from her and shakes her head. She couldn't help the horrible thoughts she had about Regina, but at the same time she was grateful. If Regina hadn't done what she had she would never have had Henry.

Mulan's eyes widen, "We have to get back to the camp. All those people."

Emma turns around, "Let's go. They need us more than this place does."

They get back to the camp and freeze when they see all the dead bodies. Mulan was the first to take a step closer. She looks around frantically, trying to find the reason they died.

She looks up, "They are all dead. All of them. If I had been here… maybe…"

Snow grabs her hand, "If you had been here you would have been dead too. This is not your fault."

They hear a groan and Snow walks over to a small pile of bodies, "Someone survived."

Mulan and Aurora run over and help her out while Emma looks around for more survivors. She looks inside the hut to see if she could find any clues.

She hears a guy's voice, "I had no choice but to hide and pretend to be dead."

Emma walks out and gasps. He looked like… That couldn't be. It was a dream that she had while she was in a coma. She walks slowly forward and a stick snaps under her feet. They all turn to look at her.

The guy's mouth falls open in shock, "Emma?"

Snow looks at him, "You two know each other?"
