Amara watched as Snow reached into the royal carriage and grabbed a something and took off on a horse. She followed closely in the woods not to be seen as she sees Snow hit the prince in the face with a rock. " I will find you! " He yells at her as she takes off on horseback. Amara laughs quietly to herself and follows her sister.*

Amara walked into Granny's and noticed that Mary Margaret was on a date with Dr Whale. She smiles and goes to sit down. She looks over and sees that Dr. Whale is not paying any attention to her but to Ruby instead. When Mary Margaret asks for the check and leaves, Amara follows behind her. " Hey." She says as she catches up to her on the street. " Don't worry about him guys can be real jerks." She tells her while putting an arm around her as they continue to walk down the street. " I know that I don't even know why I agreed he's really not my type." "Why don't I come over and we open up a couple bottles of wine?" Mary Margaret doesn't answer her because she's looking at something off in front of them. She turns and sees what got Mary Margaret's attention. Emma was sitting in her car. They both walk over to her. "Hey" Mary Margaret starts. "Are you OK?" She asks Emma who looks over at them startled. "Oh in all the tight spots I've been in this doesn't even rate the top 10." She tells them reassuringly. "Wait you're sleeping here?" Amara asks her. "Yup until I find a place." "So you've decided to stay for Henry?" "Yea it turns out this town has no vacancies at all, is that normal?" "Must be the curse." Amara jokes leaning up against the car. "So why are you guys out so late?" Emma asked. "I am a school teacher not a nun." She jokes. "I had a date and Amara was just grabbing dinner." "By that look I take it things didn't go so well. Tell me he at least paid." "Are you kidding Dr Whale is a jerk who was checking out Ruby the whole time. I love the girl to death but sometimes she can be to much." Amara defends Mary Margaret. "Its alright guys if true love was easy we would all have it." She says sadly then looks at Emma. "If you have no where to go I do have a spare room." Emma looks surprised and caught off guard again. "Oh…Thanks...really but I'm not really the roommate type." "Oh well good night and good luck with Henry." Mary Margaret says quickly so they don't know that Emma's rejection for some reason stung. They watch her walk off. "You know Mary Margaret is a good person. I know what its like not to trust but she's someone you can trust. Good night Emma." Amara walks off to head to her apartment for the night.

Amara is getting ready to head to Granny's when she bumps into Joseph on the sidewalk. "Hey! Good morning!" He smiles at her very cheerfully. She smiles back at him. "Good morning." He moves closer to her. "Would you like to join me for breakfast?" He asks very confidently. "I would love to." She says excited that she gets to spend some more time with him. They walk in the diner and sit down in the booth. "I'm finally glad you decided to go out with me. Not to sound like a creep but I've been watching you and I very much like what I see." He smiles at her as she blushes. She can't remember the last time someone paid her this much attention. She really enjoyed it. Ruby came over to take their order. "Good morning guys what can I get for you?" She smiles at Amara and gives her a discrete thumbs up and a wink. "I'll have the French toast with a bagel." Amara says turning to Joseph. "I'll have the scrambled eggs with toast with a coffee." Ruby smiles and tells them she'll be back with their food. "Regina would have my head if she found out I was here with you." "Really? Why is that?" She asked surprised that he would even tell her that. "Well for starters she really hates your si-uh friend Mary Margaret. That and she's just been in a really bad mood since Emma came to town." "Yea I did notice that but Emma has every right to be here if she wants. I know Regina feels threatened but she really shouldn't." She voiced her opinion to him not liking that he brought Emma up. "You're absolutely right I'm sorry I brought it up." She smiled at him again thinking how he can really read her mind. Henry walked in the diner and gave them a strange look before heading over to them. "Hey uncle Joseph, Hey Amara." "Hey Henry how's school going?" Amara asks as Henry gets his hot chocolate. "its good we're volunteering over at the hospital today which should be fun! Ill find you after school! Bye uncle Joe!" He rushes as he rushes out the door. She laughs as he makes a face at the nickname. "I love that kid but I don't know how he can be so cheerful this early in the morning." Amara laughs "I completely understand. So what do you think about him and his whole story book theory?" She asked him curious as to what he thought about it. Joseph looked at her surprisingly for a second then asked her, "Well what do you think about it?" "I'm not too sure." She thought about it. " I mean obviously it isn't real. Fairy tales only exist in books and movies. But I have a feeling that he really believes its true and that's enough for him for it to be true. Who does he think you are?" She asked him. For some reason she had a feeling about not telling him what she really thought about it. " Oh just the Evil Queen's brother nobody special." They finished their breakfast with small chat and he promised he would call her later about Friday.

Henry came to visit Amara after he was done with school. He told her that they had to get Emma and that he had information about operation cobra. They met Emma by the ocean at an old playground that had an old castle made. Henry took out his story book and opened it up to a page with a man on it. "That's your father Prince Charming. He is the John Doe that is in a coma at the hospital. We have to tell Miss Blanchard we found her prince!" Henry exclaimed. "Henry?" Emma starts not really knowing what to say to him. Amara looks at the picture from over his shoulder. "See that scar? He has the same scar." "Well Henry a lot of people have scars that doesn't really prove anything." Amara said not wanting to encourage him on this. "But in the same place. Don't you know what this means?" He asked Emma. "The curse is keeping them apart, he's in a coma now they're stuck without each other. We have to tell her!" "OK Henry telling someone that they're true love is in a coma is hard enough but-" Amara stops not knowing what to say. "Giving someone unrealistic hope is far worse." Emma finishes for her. "But they have to know. Amara in the book you're the prince's best friend. You wanted them to be together." Amara looks at him. "How would we do that?" She found herself saying even though she didn't really believe him. "We remind them. We have to get Miss Blanchard to read him their story, then maybe he'll wake up and remember who he is." He told them with so much hope for his plan. Emma looks like she's in thought for a minute. "OK." She says "Really?!" Henry asks as Amara exclaims "What?!" "We'll do it but we'll do it my way." "Great! " he said happily. "Now Amara I need to warn you about my uncle he isn't who you think he is." Amara looked at him confused. "What do you mean he isn't who I think he is?" " He is evil and he helped the evil queen cast the curse so he could get to you. Read the book if you have to but you just need to be careful." He looked at her with such honesty and concern that she didn't have it in her to fight him. "OK Henry I'll be careful I promise."

Amara decided to let Emma take the reins on telling Mary Margaret because she had to go in to work. "Thank God you're here we are slammed tonight!" The bartender said as soon as she came in. "Go ahead and take a break I got this." She said grabbing her card and sliding it in the register. Later on after they slowed down a bit Emma walked in looking exhausted. "I could use a drink right now. " she said sliding on the stool at the bar. Amara reached behind her grabbed a glass and poured her a shot of Jack Daniels. She slid the glass in front of her. " It's on the house, just don't tell anyone then they'll all think they can get one. How'd it go?" Emma took a small sip of the whisky and sighed. "It went better than I expected it to she's over there now reading to him, I just dropped her off." "That's good, then Henry can know the truth for good this time." Amara said pouring herself a drink. "Yeah I just feel for Henry. I mean this might actually crush him." Emma finished her drink. "I know but he needs to know that this life is not a curse it's real...unfortunately." She murmured the last part to herself. She got her customers refills and went back to Emma thinking. "Emma what if Henry is right about everything? I mean I know it sounds absolutely crazy but what if it's true?" Emma looked at her like she had two heads. " It would be a complete shock, but we both know it's not true. Thanks for the drink I just wanted to check in." She stood up and grabbed her jacket. "Yeah I don't know what I was thinking of course it's not true. I will see you in the morning." Emma left and Amara finished her shift. When she went home that night she had another dream but this one was slightly different then her other ones.

* Amara followed Snow as she quickly packed up all their stuff. "OK sister this is where we part ways for now they're gaining on us if we separate it'll be easier for us." Amara said sadly as she got her horse ready. "Where will you go?" She asked not wanting her sister to leave. "I'll try riding east for a while hopefully Joseph won't think to look for me there. Then I'll find someone with a ship and head off to search for something I need to kill him." She quickly hugged her sister with tears in her eyes. "I love you Snow don't ever forget that. May we meet again." She got on her horse and took off in the opposite direction Snow was going. She made it to a small village about 2 days ride from the nearest port. She went to an inn and hid. She was sitting by the window when she heard a commotion outside. She looked out the window and seen Joseph and his men riding through town. Scared she quickly grabbed her stuff and snuck out of the room and headed downstairs. As she was by the door it was kicked open forcefully. Amara quickly ducked and headed around the corner to the back. She saw the door and slowly opened it. It was clear outside so she made a run for it. She headed to the nearest alley and his in the shadow. She stood there and tried to get her heart to stop beating so loudly.*

Amara sat in the booth at Granny's with Henry as Emma came out of the back with a shirt on that definitely didn't look like it belonged to her. She raised an eyebrow at Emma in question as she went to sit down. "Thanks for the shirt kid. Is this your mother's?" She asked sitting down next to Amara. "She won't even notice at all." " Oh I bet she won't. If I know Regina which I'm pretty sure I do she will definitely know that that shirt is hers." Amara said grabbing the arm of the shirt as she said that. "Where does she think you are anyway? " Emma asked Henry as she batted Amara's hand away from the shirt. "Playing Whack-A -Mole at the arcade." "And she believed that?" "She wants to believe it so she does." He explained as if it were obvious. "Oh imagine that!" Amara imputed quite amused with Henry. He looked up as he heard the bell chime on the door. It was Mary Margaret coming in to meet up with them. She sat down next to Henry as both Amara and Emma looked at her expectedly. "He woke up!" She exclaimed as Emma and Amara both looked at her in shock. "What!?" They both said at the same time. "Well he didn't wake up wake up but he did grab my hand." "That's cause he's remembering!" Amara shook her head as if not believing her. "I didn't imagine it he actually grabbed my hand." "You have to go back and read to him again, get him to remember some more!" Mary Margaret looked over at Henry. "Alright! let's go!" She said excitedly as she and Henry got out of the booth and went to the door. Both Emma and Amara looked at each other in confusion and Emma stood up to follow them. "What?! You can't be serious?!" "If we made a connection, if I could get through to him." "You don't actually believe all this do you?" Amara asked standing up from the booth and coming up to Emma's side. "Of course not, but somehow, someway I touched him." She finished and went out the door leaving Emma and Amara very bewildered and to follow them. They make it to the hospital with Henry leading the way. "Come on guys he's waking up!" He caught Graham's attention as he was talking to the orderly. He turned to get to Henry. "Stay back Henry!" Graham stopped Henry before he could go any farther. Mary Margaret stopped by Graham. " Is everything OK? What happened to John Doe?" She asked worried for him. "He's gone missing." Graham said looking at Mary Margaret. He turns to look back in the room and all them see Regina standing there glaring at them. She comes out with an attitude. "What the hell are you all doing here?" She storms over to Henry and grabs his arm. "And you, I thought you were at the arcade. Now you're lying to me." "What happened to John Doe? Did somebody take him?" Mary Margaret asked Graham. She was very worried about him. "We don't know anything yet, the IVs were ripped out but doesn't appear to be any struggle." "What did you do?" Henry asked Regina in a mean accusing voice. She looked at him with a look of disbelief. "You think that I had something to do with this?" "It is strange that the mayor is here for a John Doe." Emma puts her input in. "You know who he is?" Amara asked Regina. "I found him." She corrected her. "On the side of the road years ago with no ID." Emma looked at her like she didn't believe a word she said. Amara looked at Emma. "Is he going to be OK?" Mary Margaret asked as Dr Whale came over. "OK? He's lucky to be alive he's been hooked up to machines and feeding tubes for years. He needs to get back right away or 'OK' might be a pipe dream." "Well then." Emma started to walk toward the exit. "Lets quit talking and start looking." "That's what we're doing?" Regina asked sarcastically. Amara sighed and rolled her eyes. "Just stay out of this dear." She grabs Henry and starts to walk away. "Since I can't keep you away from my son I guess I'll just have to keep my son away from you." She stood in front of her. " Enjoy my shirt because that's all you're getting." She smirked and turned to look at Amara. "And don't you have a date tonight with my brother. I'll be damned if I let you stand him up." Amara just glared at her. Regina turned to speak to Graham. "Find John Doe. You heard Dr Whale time is precious. She dismissed everyone else in the room and left. He sighed and looked at the doctor. "Doctor how long was it since you last seen him?" " 12 hours or so." Dr Whale answered with a shrug. "OK I think I know where to start." They followed him to the security room where Leroy was and one other guy was with him. Graham was talking to them while everyone gathered around. "You two were the only two employees on the floor and you're telling me you didn't see anything?" The guy sitting in the chair yawned then answered. "I didn't see anything." "Did anybody see anything?" Amara asked getting annoyed. Leroy looked at her with a shrug. Emma came forward suddenly. "We're looking at the wrong tape! Henry's class put up those decorations if we were looking at the right tape we would be seeing banners." "You fell asleep on the job again didn't you?" Leroy accused. "At least I don't drink on the job." The other guy fired back. "Alright enough!" Graham almost shouted at them. "So where's the real tape?" Amara asked looking back at everyone. When they found it they started watching it. They seen John Doe get up and walk out the side door. Mary Margaret sighed in relief. "Oh thank God he walked out alone. He's OK!" Emma looked closer at the tape. "4 hours ago. Where does that door lead?" "The woods." Leroy said.

*Amara starts to head back out in the street when someone behind her grabs her around her waist and covers her mouth with the other hand. She struggled and didn't stop until she heard his voice. "I knew I would find you." He whispered in her ear. "You can't hide from me." He chuckled and bent down to smell her hair. He moved his hand from her mouth. "What do you want from me?" She asked scared of him. He ran his nose from the side of her face to her jaw. "isn't it obvious? I want you." She struggles against him. She rams her elbow in his side. He grunts in surprise and she gets out of his grasp. She takes off running but it's no use, he appears in front of her making her stop suddenly.*

Graham, Emma, Mary Margaret and Amara leave the hospital and head for the woods. They follow a path but stop when Graham loses the trail. "I thought you knew how to track." Emma asked him. "I do this is my world I got this." He walks off to find the trail. Amara stops and looks at her watch. "Oh crap guys I have to go get ready for my date, but call me when you find him OK." "We will go get ready, and have fun tonight. " Mary Margaret told her as she gave her a hug. Amara headed back toward the hospital to her car. She got back to her apartment and started getting ready. Regina and Joseph were talking in the living room. "Make sure you distract her tonight. I don't need anymore screw ups I don't know how or why he woke up but he did. If he remembers anything all we worked for to get would be for nothing!" Joseph sighed as he listened to her rant. "Nothing else is going to happen. Everything is going according to plan. I'm slowing making my way to seduce Amara and she will be mine finally and when Emma Swan leaves everything will be back to the way things were." He grabbed onto her shoulders and squeezed a little. "Now relax and have a drink and sit back as I seduce your best friend." He smirked at her and left the room.

* Amara screamed in fear as he backed her into the wall. "Please just leave me alone! I don't want anything to do with you." He smirked and walked closer until he was pressed up against her. He smirked and grabbed a piece of her hair and gently pulled. "I want you to be mine. We can rule together alongside Regina." She pulled her head away from him. "I will never be with you. Haven't you already figured it out? I am running from you and will always run from you." H got angry and punched the wall beside her. "You. Are. Mine. Learn to accept that or die." He pulled a knife out from his belt and ran the blade along her neck. Her eyes widened before unexpectedly she shoved him away from her.*

She was just putting her lipstick on when there was a knock on her door. She took a deep breath and reached to open the door. On the other side stood Joseph in all his glory in a gray turtleneck shirt a leather jacket, black pants and black boots. When she opened the door and he saw her he was at a loss of words. He couldn't believe he finally had her willingly go on a date with him. "Wow! You look incredible!" She blushed and grabbed her coat. "Thanks, you look really good yourself. You ready to go?" "Yea. Lets go." He ushered her out the door and into the elevator.

* Amara pushed Jacob away from her and punched him in the face. He back handed her and she fell to the ground. "Don't mess with me little girl. You won't like the outcome." She kicked him in the stomach sending him to the ground. She kicked him again until he was unconscious. Then she took off running into the night, not knowing where she was going.*

The restaurant that he took her to was very expensive and nice. It was right by the water front. She felt a strong feeling to be by the ocean. The usher took them to their table, out on the patio right in front of the ocean. " Wow the view is spectacular!" She was amazed at how beautiful it was. He took the seat across from her. " I'm glad you approve. It normally takes weeks for a reservation but I was lucky." " Well this is really amazing. I'm glad I came tonight. " She smiled at him.

* She ran through the woods hearing him behind her. She kept running, when she felt she was far enough she hid behind a tree. She waited a couple minutes and didn't hear anything. She slowly looked around the tree and didn't see anything. She turned back around and let out a scream. There he was standing right in front of her. He lunged and pushed her against the tree. He grabbed her neck and hit her head on the tree. Her vision started getting blurry as he leaned in closer to whisper in her ear. "If I can't have you then no one can." He threatened as he pushed on her neck. She grabbed his wrist with her hands to try to get him to let her go. All of a sudden a blast of power came from her as he went flying back. She stared at him in shock. "What did you just do?" He stood up and laughed. " Oh you have magic? This is even better than I thought." She glared at him and raised her hands. "Stay away from me." He laughed and turned to walk away. " I'll be seeing you real soon." He turned and walked away leaving her there. *

Amara starts as dinner got brought to the table. " Henry warned me about you today." She jokes. Joseph raised his eyebrows at her. " Oh really and why is that?" He asked clearly trying not to show that he's not amused. " Well, in this story book he thinks that you're this man who is obsessed and wants this girl." He looks at her for a second. " Well I do happen to want a girl right now so maybe he's right." She laughed and blushed. He smiled and reached across the table and grabbed her hand.

* Amara sat at the table and wrote to Snow. ' I made a big mistake leaving on my own. I think we can survive together. Please write me back so I know you're OK. ' She rolled it up and tied it to a bird. " Take this to Snow White no one else." The bird flies off and she looks out the window.*

Amara and Joseph walk down the street back to her apartment. Just then her phone rings. She looks at the caller ID and sees Emma's name on the screen. She let's it ring and puts it back in her purse as they reach her apartment building. "This is me." She says as they stop in front on the door. " I had a wonderful time tonight. " " I did too. I hope we can do it again." She smiles and leans forward and kisses him lightly on the lips. "I'll call you." She smiles and pulls away. He grabs her back and slams his lips back on hers. She wraps her arm around his neck into his hair. He pulls away after a minute. " Good night Amara." He pulls away and turns and walks off. She sighs and leans back against the door as her phone rings again. She answers it seeing it was Emma again. " Hey how did it go?" She asked. " We found him we're at the hospital now." OK I'll be right in. " She hangs up and rushes over to her car. She meets up with everyone as they're standing by the door. " Hey I came as fast as I could! How is he?" Before anyone could answer a woman came rushing past then "David?! Oh my God!" She rushed to his bed side but the orderlies pushed her over to the side. "Who is she?" Mary Margaret asked. " His wife." They all turned to see Regina standing there smirking at everyone.

* Amara heads off on her horse forward. She doesn't know where she's going. All she knows is that now she has the power to finally help herself against Joseph. *

" His name is David Nolan and that's his wife Kathrine. Seeing that joy on her face puts me in the forgiving mood." She states looking at everyone. " How was your date with my brother. I hope for your sake you finished the date before rushing over here." She glares at Amara as she just sighs and looked away. " And you." She states talking to Henry. "We'll talk about your insubordination when we get home. Do you know what that means?" He just shakes his head. " It means you're grounded." Just then Kathrine walks out of the room and looks to Mary Margaret. " Thank you for finding David. It means so much." She looks nervous. " I uh I don't understand. How did you not know he was here? " She nods in understanding. " Uh a few years ago David and I were not getting along and it was my fault I know that now, I was difficult and unsupportive and I told him he should just leave. So he did. It was the worst mistake I ever made. Now I know why I never heard from him. Now I get a second chance." She smiles. " That's wonderful. I'm happy for you." Mary Margaret says trying to hide her disappointment. Amara looks over and sees Regina looking smug about everything. The doctor came out telling them that physically he was fine but his memory was gone. " Well what happened what brought him back? " Amara asked curiously. " I'm not sure it seems that something just clicked. " He explained. Mary Margaret looked deep in thought about what the doctor had said. " So he just woke up and decided to take a stroll?" Emma asked sarcastically not believing the story. " He woke up, he was in a haze and his first instinct was to go find something I guess."they tried to rationalize "Not something, someone." Henry corrected and everyone looked over at him forgetting he was there. Regina gave him a look. Kathrine and the doctor walked off back in the room. " Henry let's go." Regina says walking off. Henry got up and went to follow her but stopped and looked at Mary Margaret. He whispers to her. " Don't believe them. You were the one he was looking for. He was going to the Troll Bridge! Just like the end of the story! " "Henry he was going there because that's the last thing I read to him." She sounded defeated. " Its because you belong together." He said trying to get her to believe. She just looks at him. "Henry come on." He leaves and follows Regina out the door. Emma looked deep in thought before she rushed off after Amara walked up to Mary Margaret and put her arm around her. " Come on let's get out of here." They walk out of the room and see Emma talking to Regina. They head back to the loft with some chocolate cake and wine. As they're eating the cake there's a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Amara says as she stands up with a fork in her mouth. When she opens the door she's surprised to see Emma standing Margaret walks up to stand beside her. " Hey. I was wondering if that spare room was still open." Emma asked looking awkward. Mary Margaret smiles as she moves out of the way letting Emma through. Amara smiles at her and shuts the door behind them.
