Chapter 17 Grandmother to Grandson.
The Heroes Ball soon came around and everyone in Storybrooke is getting ready for the ball.
Henry decided to stay away from the ball and to explain everything to Laurel in full detail.
The ball is only a couple of hours away and Emma is standing at the town line and examines the boundary.
"Damn it what did Fiona do to the town line,"? Emma asks herself, Emma then drove away from the town line over to the Sheriff station to interrogate Fiona!
When Emma arrives at the station she bumps into Gideon who ran to her.
"Gideon, what are you doing here,"? Emma questions.
"Hid...hiding just give me five minutes away from everyone," Gideon pleads.
"Oh, I guess so come on in," Emma replies as she leads Gideon into the Sheriff Station.
"I just need to hide from everyone for a while thank you," Gideon says.
"Oh, my darling grandson has come to visit Emma why don't you go and fetch us some tea," Fiona said with venom.
"Why don't you tell me what you did to the town line," Emma spoke.
"You're a busy person Emma it's far too complex for you to understand with your schedule," Fiona snarls.
"Try me," Emma replies.
"Just cast a truth spell on her," Gideon commented.
"No, I can't the chains magic might affect the truth spell since there anti-magic," Emma explains.
"If you won't talk to Emma who will you talk to,"? Gideon asks.
"You," Fiona replied calmly.
"No, way Fiona," Emma snaps.
"Then I guess you have to figure it out by yourself and with little Lucy, in Storybrooke it might make things more difficult," Fiona said with a smug smile.
"How do you know Lucy is here,"? Emma questions but all she gets from Fiona is the hand gesture for zipped lips.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe it's not a bad idea for me to talk to her," Gideon spoke.
"She has hurt and abused you, Gideon, I can't let you be alone with her," Emma points out.
"You be in your office and if I'm in trouble I'll scream plus she can't use magic as long as those chains are on her," Gideon spoke.
"Fine, I'll be in the office the moment she tries something I'll run straight back in," Emma said as she walks into her office.
Now with Fiona and Gideon alone, Gideon finds himself standing nervously.
Fiona loves the kind of power she has over people especially children like Gideon.
Gideon knows he has to talk to her for some time at least just to find out what Fiona did to the town line?
"Why don't you take a seat," Fiona suggested.
"No, I'm fine thanks," Gideon replies trying not to sound afraid.
"I must say I was impressed by you closing the vortex of darkness," Fiona says.
"It wasn't that big of a deal," Gideon mumbled.
"Oh, but it was the wounds and how weak you were when you closed the vortex should have killed you but you survived," Fiona reveals.
"You're lying" Gideon snapped.
"No, she isn't and I must say I didn't even get a thank you for what I did," The Darkness in Gideon's head
"A thank you," Gideon replies.
"You think we survived by confidence oh no your Vocalization magic and Gatekeeper magic was drained completely and I couldn't let my vessel die so I use my dark magic to give you the strength needed to survive" The Darkness explained.
"Oh, how adorable my grandson and his inner darkness communicating with one another," Fiona said.
"Just tell me what you did to the town line," Gideon demands.
"Simple while Emma was in the Dark Realm I cast an ancient mystic seal on the town line that would be activated the moment Lucy crossed it and would be bound to Storybrooke's existence so as long as Storybrooke is here Lucy can't leave," Fiona explains angering Gideon who lets himself become vulnerable to his darkness's manipulation and strength.
"Know this Fiona the stunt you have pulled is your last if you ever break free and try to hurt my family the people I love you won't have to worry about the saviour," Gideon shouts as he finds one of his bare hands wrapped around Fiona's throat choking her!
"Saviors... don't kill," Fiona coughed out.
"I'm no saviour dearie so keep that in mind because if you do ever make a move against the people I love I'll be right there to rip out your heart and crush it," Gideon threatens as his eyes glowed a silverly black for a moment, Emma, seeing this runs out of the office.
"GIDEON," Emma screams.
"Oh this is exciting Gideon you're finally loosening up and giving me some control," The Darkness commented Gideon then uses dark magic to throw Fiona into her cell wall before turning to Emma where his eyes return to his normal colour and he looks at her with a blank face.
"Emma's what wrong,"? Gideon asks.
"You just went all Dark One on her," Emma replies.
"No, I didn't I just asked her what she did to the town line and she said that she used a mystic seal bound to the existence of Storybrooke," Gideon spoke sincerely having no memory of when he attacked Fiona.
"Right let's get you home kid," Emma says.
