They hadn't been alone long when they saw the knights approaching

"The Evil queen's knights!" Graham hissed to Emma

"Run" with that Graham ran to the forest and Emma ran to the palace.

"Dad!"

"Emma what's wrong?" Snow asked

"T-the evil queen's knights!"

"What!" James cried

"Outside" James unsheathed his sword

"I'm coming with you" Emma said

"No, stay with your mother" James argued

"But Dad-"

"No buts Emma stay here" James said heading out with the knights Snow nudged Emma away to her room

"Stay here I'll set everyone up with a room tonight." Snow said as soon as she was gone Emma got her bow and arrows knocking an arrow she dropped several dark knights from her window James was sword fighting with a knight his shoulder already bloody if it was his blood Emma couldn't tell. James swung his sword at his opponent trying to accommodate his injured shoulder leaving his side unprotected momentarily the dark knight stabbed James's side making him scream out in pain

"DADDY!" Emma screamed as James fell fitting her bow she took down the knight who hurt her father as the remaining few rode away Emma ran out of the palace tears streamed from her eyes

"Daddy!" She dropped to knees beside him James didn't stir

"Daddy wake up!" Emma screamed shaking him

"Daddy please! Don't leave me!" Emma sobbed James remained still.
