At the station.

Emma looked up when she heard the tapping of a outside in the hall. Mr. Gold emerged into the doorway.

"Mr. Gold, who did what today?"

She gestured for him to sit down. He simply stood there, looking down at her. This bothered Emma, but it entertained him to endless bounds. She had a pet peeve of people standing over her desk, down at her. She felt it was abit disrespectful.

"No one did anything, I am more curious, seeking answers so to say." She raised her brow, tapping a pencil on the table.

"Alright then…go on?"

"I wanted to get some info for a friend of mine…Jade Miller, do you know here, she's new in town."

"Music teacher right…I met her briefly at the grocery store. She wears nothing but dress's and boots right, long hair, pretty face?" "And the body of a athlete, lucky girl."

"Yes, that is her," he replied

"What would you want to know?"

"Well…" Emma tried to not grit her teeth.

"Mr. Gold…please sit down!" He smiled at her tenderly, then sarcastically. He was a older man, little occurrences like this were fun to him.

"No, Miss Swan, I think I will stand here, still. Sat around too much at the shop…to answer your question though, she seems curious to see who her parents are. Like you, she was given up for adoption." This infuriated Emma to no other being this town had nothing better to do then pry into each others lives.

"Mr. Gold, she had to come to me to find that info. I don't know why you want to help…I don't see you as someone who wants to help , I recall you trying to take someone's baby before. So I don't really see where your coming from." She waited for a reaction…nothing. She hoped for a facial expression…only serial killers had the same calm look on their face…this man was a his own deadly creature.

He was about to leave.

"Miss Swan…check her back round, I am pretty sure you will find something very…interesting. Good day." He left.

Why would he be so interested in this…doesn't make sense. Just for the hell of it, to get into that crazy man's mind.

Emma typed Jade Miller into the database. Only one came up for her in this town.

"Holy shit," she exclaimed. No wonder Mr. Gold was so eager to get this info…how did he even suspect? She double checked the screen twice to make sure.

Jade Ivy Mills , birthdate October 31st, 1985, birthplace…unknown

Mother : Regina Mills, born February 14th, 1969, Birthplace: Storybook Main.

Father: Unknown

What in hell was going on. Emma had to know. This could break Regina…Emma would have loved it, but not at the expense of a person. Emma did the math, Regina was very young when she had this girl. But why would she adopt Henry years later, and not look for her? Something didn't add up.

"Mr. Gold…you evil, vindictive, son of a bitch."

Storybrooke park 5:30 pm

Emma and Henry sat at the usual little tower at the dingy park. She went to see him; it was an operation cobra update.

"Emma, Miss Jade is the forgotten princess." She raised her brow.

"Say what kid?" Henry opened up the book and gave it to Emma.

"look, it's her! Just…longer hair. The weird thing is, she didn't change much, did she Emma?"

"Oh shit, were going to have a war on our hands, a war between the most powerful people" Now Emma was picking up the pieces and putting them into place. It all was a slowly making sense.

"Did you tell her Henry?"

"Yeah."

"How did she handle it?"

"Pretty well actually…like a real princess." He laughed. Emma gave him a quick, playful rub on the head.

"Kid, you have no idea what you just opened up."

"But, were getting close to breaking the curse."

"Indeed, you are on that." It was dinner time, they decided to get on home. Regina would be looking for him.
