Emma's day started of the same as it had for the past week she got up and watched as Killian made her and Henry breakfast. They would all eat as a family then the pirate and the Swan would walk their boy to the bus stop and wave him of as he joined his friends at the back of the bus. Emma found comfort in the repetitiveness of the routine. The normality of it all. After dropping the boy of they went to the diner and sat peacefully drinking hot cocoa but something was different, the air was filled with paranoia and her parents weren't here. Killian tried to calm her.
"they're ten minutes late Swan it happens" she refused to accept it craving order she expected her parents to arrive every school day at 8:15 after dropping Neal at nursery- No, she needed it. Without a routine Emma could easily revert back to her old ways without this repetitiveness what was there to stop Emma from letting in the grief and guilt she felt?
"Killian, they're never ever late" Killian pulled his lover close trying to comfort her, he asked about the baby. "don't try and distract me-" she was distracted from scolding her pirate as her father burst into the cafe looking like his prized steed just died.
"it zelena" the prince managed to drag out between ragged breaths (Clearly our prince charming isn't as fit as he used to be if running from the park to here has made him almost tachycardic) "she's taken Neal" (I resign my earlier sarcasm and replace it with my condolences for James- David- charming- sheriff or whatever he calls himself nowadays)
The charming softball team and their pirate mascot banded together with the evil queen and her bandit to discuss the predicament which was the missing child. They sat in Granny's exchanging theories on why she had taken the boy. Perhaps it was revenge for them (everyone) getting what Zelena clearly thought she deserved. Maybe the witch had finally lost it.
"Perhaps we should talk to Zelena see what she wants" Hook turned to his friend biting back any comments that came to mind instead trying to be polite.
"No offense mate but that wench isnt exactly someone you can spark up a rational conversation with" they nodded in agreement, so they scrapped the tentative approach and decided to make plans to bereech her home which was already pretty locked up. Finally they came up with a plan of action: Emma and her parents would confront Zelena, Killian and Robin were back up so if anything went wrong they could get them out of there. Regina was to use her magic to incapacitate the witch.
"Emma Swan are you hear to bargin for the life of your little brother" Emma stood her ground no way was she going to let this psychopath get to her "although I doubt there will be much hands on after all, baby comes first right" The pirate bit his tongue to stop the profanities spilling from his mouth like blood from someone with a punctured lung. Emma still kept her calm turning to the witch she stepped forward tentatively not wanting to spook her.
"I have just tell me what you want and you can have it" Zelena flipped her auburn hair over her shoulder walking closer to the dark swan.
"I want my child." The whole room fell silent, she didn't know. How could she not know ?
"Zelena" Emma treaded carefully "you're baby died hours after he was born" the wench's heart broke into a million pieces her baby was dead. The whole operation of people stopped getting ready to trap the witch and stood waiting for the Zelena to process the news.
"No" the witch crooked her throat thick with tears. "Hes not...how did...I don't believe you" Emma was suddenly thrown into the wall Zelena's magic suffocating the swan. Regina stepped out from the shadows.
"He died because he was born premature Zelena he died last year I thought you knew" The witch screamed the most blood curling scream in the history of blood curling screams. The witch tightened her grip on Emma's throat. Emma struggled against her foes grip managing to slip her ring of, taking a deep breath Emma blocked out the voices summoning her magic. It consumed Zelena and she still stood rendered magicless but Emma couldn't stop she cringed as she found pleasure in the witches screams as her insides turned to liquid. No one could stop her. Killian cupped her face in his hands wiping away the tears. He had that same fear behind his eyes as everyone else but his was for her not Emma herself.
"Emma you need to stop. Swan...you're killing her stop" Emma physically couldn't the ring the pirate deduced she needs the ring. Slipping the ring onto her finger Emma collapsed into his arms letting go of Zelena. Emma choked on her tears catching sight of the witch as her father (charming- David-james-Sheriff) took her back to the hospital, she was covered in welts bleeding from nearly every orifice. "No" the guilt started nipping at her, covering her eyes until the guilt ripped a chunk of her side and she screamed in fear her heart beat quickening. "Emma, look at me not Zelena" he forced his lover to look at him both of them frantic him to stop her from hurting herself and her for wanting to break to down from paralyzing fear. Finally it worked the swan stopped flapping her wings the pirate calmed thewaters and they went home waiting for their boy to get back from school.
