It was a Friday night everyone was either at Granny's or The Rabbit Hole. Currently Amara was tending bar and she was watching Graham angrily shooting darts with her deer darts board. She had to admit he was good for already having like 5 shots. Sydney Glass was sitting in the Booth in front of the dart board. "Nice shot Sheriff. Bet you 20 bucks you can't make it again." Sydney drunkenly bet him. Graham glared at him and took the shot that Amara brought over to him. Without looking at the board he threw the dart dead in the center along with the other two darts. Sydney's smirk fell off his face as Graham turned to him. "The next round is on him." He tells Amara and pulls a dart out of his pocket. Emma comes around the corner and sees Graham. Amara knew why Emma was avoiding him. She had told her that she caught Graham sneaking out of Regina's house because they were sleeping together. "Hey Emma." Amara greets trying to defuse the tension. "What can I get you." She asks her. "Nothing I'm good." Emma said without looking at Graham and went to pass them by. Both Graham and Amara watched as Emma went to the door. Before Amara could stop him he threw the dart and landed on the door inches from her face. Everybody turned to stare at what just happened. "Graham!" Amara shouted at him in shock. Emma turned around in shock. "What the hell!?" She exclaimed angrily turning around to face him. "You could've hit me." She crosses her arms over her chest. He just smirks in a challenge clearly drunk. "I never miss." He walks towards her completely ignoring Sydney as he had pulled out a bill to give to him. "You've been avoiding me since last night." He stands in front of her now. "Yea since I caught you leaving the mayor." Amara's eyes go up in shock that they were having this fight here in front of everybody. "OK everybody back to your drinks nothing to see here." Amara shouts trying to get them at least a little bit of privacy. "Its your life Graham I really don't care." Emma tells him and walks out of the bar. Graham follows after her. "Alright everyone free round on me." Amara tells people as they were trying to follow them out the door. Everybody heads to the front to get their drinks.
*Regina and Joseph look on from above as Snow and Amara mourn over their father's grave. Regina snarls as she turns to go leaving Joseph to watch Amara from a far. Both Snow and Amara dressed in black lay flowers down on his casket. "Goodbye father." Snow cries as she lays the rose down. Amara wraps a comforting arm around her shoulders as she too lays a flower down. "We will miss you and love you forever." Amara whispers as she has tears coming down her face. Regina appears behind them. "I'm so sorry girls." She faked sympathy. "I loved him so much." Snow cries to Regina more tears coming down her face. Joseph came up to them. He gives Amara a hug. "I'm so sorry my dear. I know how much he meant to you." He whispered in her ear pulling her close to him. Regina pulled Snow into a hug. Both siblings looked at each other and smirked. "If there is anything that either of us can do please let us know." Regina tells them. "I may only be your mother through marriage, but I am here for you both. Truly. Forever." She tells them. Amara was too distracted to notice that Joseph didn't take his arm away from her waist and he had her still pushed up against him in a half hug. Snow hugs Regina again. "Thank you Regina. You don't know what that means to us." Amara tells her finally pushing herself away from Joseph.
Joseph was walking with Regina through the castle. "Congratulations your revenge is almost complete." Joseph tells his sister. She smirks at him. "One down. One to go." She smirks evilly as she walks over to her mirror. In appears a face. "They have no idea do they?" The mirror asked her. "That I'm responsible for his passing? And that Joseph is going to use this to get Amara? They both sought comfort with us. Although that was good on Joseph's part. Sickening for me." She glares into her other mirror looking at herself. "I could've ended Snow's miserable existence right there. Believe me it was tempting." "Patience my dear sister." Joseph walks up behind her and starts to rub her shoulders. "Soon we will both have everything we want." They met each others' gazes in the mirror and smirked evilly. "Unfortunately the kingdom is still loyal to them. They would turn on us in a heartbeat if we act to quickly or stupidly. They don't know the rancidness inside Snow that I do." Regina says blanking out for a minute as if remembering. She looks down at her small mirror that the face is enchanting. "We must be delicate in this next phase. Her demise must be handled with care and Amara's kidnapping must go perfectly." Regina pushes herself away from Joseph. The face follows her to a bigger mirror. "Perhaps one of your knights? Your majesties." The face offers options to help them. "No." Josephs declines. He seems to think for a second. "We need someone who is adapted to murder and capable of handling a kidnapping." Regina smiles. "Someone who lacks mercy." She continues. "Someone without a heart." The face says. "Now you finally understand." Joseph states rolling his eyes at the mirror. "In that case you need a huntsman." The mirror tells Regina completely ignoring Joseph's comment. *
Amara was locking up the bar when she seen Graham come across the street to get to his car. "Hey Graham!" Amara shouts to him as she runs over to stand by him. He looks completely messed up. She noticed that he was sweating and not acting like himself. "Hey." She says to stand in front of him. He looks at her as if he's looking right through her. "Are you OK?" She asked him clearly worried about him. She put her hand out over his forehead. "Jeez you're burning up. Why don't I give you a ride home you're not feeling well." She offers. He pulls his keys out as if to hand them to her. He still won't say anything to her but she knows that there is something wrong. "I'm OK Amara really. I just had a bad night." He tried to reassure her but dropped his keys in the process. They both bend down at the same time to get them. When they both look up they see a wolf just staring at them. "Oh my God!" Amara exclaims and scoots back behind Graham. They both stand still as the wolf just looks at them. Amara is in a state of shock that an actual wolf is standing right in front of her. She got a close enough look to notice that it had one red eye and one black eye. It looked at Graham for another minute then moved along down the street into an alley and out of sight. Amara didn't notice but she clung herself to Graham in a death lock grip. She finally stands back up. "Get in the car Graham I'm taking you home." In still a state of shock she grabs the keys off him and gets in the driver seat. He opens the passenger door and slides in. She starts the car and she heads in the direction to his house. "OK. So that definitely was a wolf." Amara says mostly to herself. "But there's not any wolves in Maine is there?" She asks looking over at Graham. She found him passed out. She takes a deep breathe and pulls in the driveway. She pulls out her phone and makes a call. "Hey sweetie. I know it's late but I need your help with something." She says over the phone.
Amara gets woken up to a banging on her door. She stumbles out of bed and goes down the hall to the door. "OK OK I'm coming give it a rest." She exclaims as the pounding continues. She opens the door and is surprised to see Graham standing there with his eyes wide and he looked like he was hyperventilating. "Whoa calm down Graham. Are you OK?" She asked as she ushered him in to her living room. "I had a dream last night of that same wolf. It can't be a coincidence. I'm going to go look for it. Do you want to come with me?" He asked her not seeming to calm down. Figuring she should go with him to keep an eye on him was for the best. "Yea I'll come. Just let me get dressed first. Help yourself to some water or anything to eat." She looks back at him as she walks to her room to change.
They are rushing through the woods. Amara is trying to keep up with Graham as he zooms through the woods. He stops all of a sudden as she catches up to him. He's looking off at the bushes. Before Amara can ask anything Mr. Gold appears from behind the bushes. Amara takes a deep breathe in relief. "Good morning sheriff and Miss Hurley. Sorry if I startled you." Amara let's out another breath. "Its OK you didn't startle us at all." She tells him with a friendly smile. "Yea sorry we thought you were a wolf." Graham confessed catching his breath. Mr. Gold just gave them a smile as if he knew exactly what they were talking about. "Did I forget to shave?" He jokes winking at Amara. "What are you doing out here so early?" Graham asks him. Finally starting to sound normal instead of all winded and paranoid. "Just a little gardening. And you two?" Amara steps closer. "Well we were looking for a-" she gets cut off. "A wolf. Yea I seem to be catching on. To the best of my knowledge there are no wolves in Storybrooke. Not the literal kind anyway. Why are you two looking?" He asked kind of suspiciously. "You'll think we're crazy." Graham says. "Try me." Gold insisted. "I saw one in my dreams. Then we both seen one for real last night." Graham says confiding in Gold. He looks as if he knew what Graham was meaning the whole time. "I do wish I could be more helpful to the both of you." He says walking up past them as to leave. "You know Sheriff." Gold starts turning back to look at both of them. Amara had a strange feeling. " They say that dreams are like memories. Memories of another life." He finishes cryptically. Amara having a strange feeling in her stomach. "And what do you believe?" She asked him, curious as to know the answer. "I never rule out anything." He looked at Amara cryptically as if he knew something that they didn't and smirked at her. Both Amara and Graham looked at each other confused. "Good luck Sheriff. I really do hope you find what you're looking for." He turns and limps away out of sight. They both turn around and look at each other. "Come on this way." Graham says leading them farther in the woods. Amara followed behind reluctantly.
*Regina and Joseph stand in front of the mirror as they seen the scene of the huntsman defending himself and his wolf. "He's perfect." Regina exclaims. "Bring him to me." She finishes and smirks at Joseph. He smiles. "I agree sister." He turn toward the guards. "You heard your Queen. Bring us that huntsman." He barked at them with so much authority.*
Graham ran through the woods loosing Amara in the process. Amara rushes to try to catch up to him, but he knows those woods better than anyone else does. Luckily she doesn't lose sight of him to much since he want being very quiet. She catches up with him when she hears a wolf howl. he finally stops over a fallen tree and she rushes over to stand beside him. Then they both see the wolf as it takes off through the woods. They both jump over the log and races to catch up with it. Graham is faster than her and takes off farther after it leaving her a bit behind. She finally stumbles up to him stopped right in front of the wolf. They both stare wide eyed at it as it looks at them. "What do you want?" Graham asked the wolf. The wolf whines and goes to take off. Graham shouts at it. "Hey!" Then he whistles. Amara looked wide eyed as she seen the wolf turn around and walk right up to Graham as if he recognized his whistle. "How did you know to do that?" She asked softly so not to spook the wolf. "I don't know." He says and goes to pet it. Then all of a sudden Graham retracted his hand as if he was burned and the wolf took off. He turned to look at Amara and he looked at her completely different. "I never hurt you have I?" He asked her. She looked at him confused. "No. Graham are you OK what happened?" She asked him completely confused. He was breathing heavily. "I saw you and Mary Margaret except her hair was different. And I raised a knife to both of you." He looked at her with wide eyes. "Graham." She tried to reason with him. "You have never hurt me or Mary Margaret OK. Why don't you sit down for a minute." She tried to reason with him. "No." He shook his head and started backing up. "I have to go. I'm sorry." He turns around and rushes away through the woods. "Graham wait!" Amara shouts at him and tries to catch up to him. But he was too far gone. She walked back to town by herself thinking about what just happened.
*The huntsman gets escorted into the castle and is greeted by Regina lounging on her lounge bed and Joseph was standing by the balcony with a glass of wine in his hand. "Do you have a name? Or should I just call you huntsman." Regina asks. The huntsman refused to say anything so Joseph sighed in annoyance and walked closer. Regina just smirked and stood up and walked to him. "You're a tortured one aren't you?" She taunted "Is it because your parents abandoned you to the wolves?" Joseph taunts him this time wanting a reaction out of him. "Those people aren't my parents. They only gave birth to me." The huntsman answered back with disgust. " Regina looked at Joseph and continued to walk around him. " My brother and I always felt there were two kinds of people, wolves and sheep." Joseph stepped up closer. "Those who kill and those who get killed." He said with a sadistic smile. "And you huntsman, you are certainly a wolf." He finished and walks to stand beside Regina pouring himself another drink. "Why am I here?" The huntsman asked. "I'd like you to kill someone for me can you do that?" Regina asked him as Joseph swallowed his drink. "And I want you to kidnap someone and hide her far from here until I can retrieve her." Joseph said. "Why would I do anything for either of you?" The huntsman asked in disgust. "Because we have so much to offer. A place in my court. You would become my official huntsman." Regina said thinking that that would be a good deal. "I'm not interested in being anyone's pet." He threw back at her. "This place is a cage." "You'd be washed in luxury, want for nothing. Does that not interest you at all?" Joseph asked. "What do you need me for you have plenty at your disposal." The huntsman asked still not agreeing. "Our prey are both beloved by the kingdom. We need someone who is not blinded by that." Joseph says cutting in front of Regina and handing the huntsman a drink. "That's me." He states accepting the drink but not drinking it. "Now tell me." Regina starts as she walks away from him. "What will it take? Hmm? What do you want?" She asked turning back around slowly to face him as she asked those questions. "Stop all the hunting of wolves. They are to be left alone, they are to be protected." He said looking at Joseph. He shrugged "Simple enough." He stated sipping on his wine. "So who do you want me to kill and kidnap?" He asked the siblings. *
Amara was sitting in Dr. Hopper's office. She didn't know why but she had to talk to someone about her thoughts and who better but a shrink. "OK." She takes a deep breath and starts. " I know that this is completely crazy I know this." She stops to collect her thoughts. "Its OK Amara. Go ahead tell me what is on your mind that you want to tell." Archie says from his chair waiting patiently for her to continue. "You know how Henry has a thing about fairy tales being true? Well I'm starting to believe he's right. About all if it." She stops and looks at Archie as if to gauge his reaction. "OK and what brought this on that you think Henry is right?" She sighs and leans back in the couch. " I've bee having dreams lately. Dreams about me being someone else. And not only that but strange things have been happening. I mean its just weird." Before Archie could say anything Amara's phone rang. "Sorry. I'll only be a minute." She answered the call. "Hey Mary Margaret now is not a good time-" she gets cut off. "Hey I just seen Graham he was really upset saying all these weird things about a past life. I think he's going to see Henry maybe you can meet him there or something I'm really worried about him." Mary Margaret rushed over the phone. "Yeah sure I'm heading there now." She hung up the phone and rushed to grab her purse from the purse. "Sorry Archie but I have to run." She told him as she went to go to the door. "Amara wait." Archie said standing up. " When have you started having these dreams?" He asked wanting to know more. " I can't talk right now but I'll come back and I'll tell you everything I promise." She said as she opened the door and left.
* Amara and Snow were walking through the forest with a guard. Snow was trying to make conversation with the both of them but the only reason she came out was for her sister. "You know my family's summer castle was one of my favorite places. The mountains around it made it like a cradle always made me feel safe." She turns to Amara trying to get her to talk. "Plus it's also my sister's favorite too because we always spend so much time together it's like our own place." Amara turns to look at her and smiles briefly before catching the guard's look she smiled at him too. "Yea I really love that place." She says trying not to cry. Amara and Snow noticed that the guard was feeling uncomfortable. "Stuffy in there?" Amara asked him trying to break the tension. He didn't answer her but he did pull his helmet off. "Here." Snow says as she pulls out three apples from her satchel. "No." He tells her. Amara shakes her head at the offer too looking at the man suspiciously. Snow who looked like she was oblivious but was really thinking. Amara steps closer to her sister. "You're not a Knight are you?" She asks but seemed to already know the answer. That got Snow's attention and she looks at the guard in the eyes. "Why would you say that?" He asked. "Because all of our father's men have offered condolences. Except you." Snow says finally hinting where her sister was going. "Please except my condolences." He tries to make up for his mistake but Amara cuts him off. "And they also all know how to wear armor." He just looked at them clearly caught. "So why did she have you take us?" Snow asked. "I think you know why." He said finally letting his act up. " I think you're going to kill me." Snow said backing away. "I think you have good instincts." Amara goes to stand in front of Snow. "If you want to kill Snow what are you going to do about me?" She asked curiously. " I was a told to kidnap you and hide you until he comes for you." He told her. "He who?" She asked although she had a feeling she already knew. "I think you know who." He said inching closer to them. "There's just one small problem." Amara says. "You're wearing too much armor." She exclaims and quickly picks up a small log and hits him in the side with it. Surprised by the attack it knocks him down. "Run Snow Now!" She exclaims pushing Snow in front of her as they both take off running through the woods. *
Amara catches up with Graham as he approaches the mayor's porch. "Graham!" She shouts to him rushing up the pathway to the porch. "Are you OK what are you doing?" She asked not wanting him to involve Henry in this mess. "Henry has a book about fairy tales I just want to talk to him about it that's all." He informs her. "Please if he knows something I just want to know." He pleads with her. "Alright fine." She gives in. "But we're doing this my way.. I don't want to scare him OK." He nods in head in agreement. He turned around and rang the doorbell. A couple seconds later Henry answers the door. "Hey Sheriff. Hey Amara. My mom is not here." He informs them. "Actually Henry we want to talk to you." Amara tells him. "Me why?" He asked confused. "Actually we want to talk to you about operation Cobra. It has to do with your book." Henry's face lit up as soon as she said operation cobra. "What about my book guys?" "This book you have Henry. Am I in it?" Graham asked him with a hint of desperation in his voice.
* In the forest the huntsman finally comes up to them. He sees Snow perched on a log writing and Amara leaning over her as if to help say what she writes. Snow sees him and writes faster as Amara goes to stand in front of her protectively. "I hunt you yet you stop to compose a letter?" The huntsman asked bewildered at what they were doing. " We don't know these woods. you're the hunter, you would find us in no time. We all know how this ends." Amara says with all the fight drained out of her. " Just after you kill us can you give this letter to the queen." Snow asks folding the letter and holding it out for the huntsman to grab. "This is a trick." Snow shakes her head. "This is not a trick. Tell her that we mean every word." Amara tells him. He takes the letter from Snow and opens it and reads it. As he's reading a tear starts to slide down his cheek. He looks at them and takes his knife off his side. He moves toward them. Amara moved back beside Snow and grabbed her in a side hug as they both closed their eyes waiting for the knife to strike. But instead he sliced off a tall piece of stem. Both Amara and Snow looked at him confused as he just cut small holes in the stem. He then hands the whistle to Amara. "Use this when you need help." "What? I don't understand?" She said in disbelief. "Its a whistle use it when you're in trouble and he will come." Snow leans over Amara's shoulder in confusion at what the huntsman just give them. "You're not going to kill me?" Snow asked. "Run!" He demanded. And the both of them stood up and took off running as fast as they could through the woods. Leaving the huntsman standing there. *
Henry flips through his book with Graham on one side of him and Amara on the other side. "When did your flashes begin?" Henry asked Graham. "They started happening right after I kissed Emma." He revealed. "You kissed my mom?!" Henry asked disgusted as Amara exclaimed. "You kissed Emma!? What is wrong with you?!" She exclaimed not in anger but surprise. Graham just gave them both a pointed look and Henry looked back at his book. "What did you see?" He asked " I seen a wolf. And I had a knife and I seen that I was with Mary Margaret and Amara." He said and the both of them looked at Amara. " Amara are you having any flashes of any kind too?" Henry asked wondering why Graham was having flashes but not Amara. She shook her head. "No at least not about Graham." She confessed. "But you are having flashes?" Henry asked excitedly. "They're not really flashes more like dreams and sometimes I get a feeling about something." Henry nods his head in approval and looks back at Graham. "OK Mary Margaret is Snow White and Amara is her sister. And in your flash were you about to hurt them?" He asked flipping through the pages. "Yes how did you know that?" Amara just raised her eyebrow in surprise. "Because, you are the huntsman." Henry reveals coming to a page with a man and a knife on it. "And you think I'm this other person?" Graham asked. "Makes total sense, you were raised by wolves. That's why you keep seeing one. He's your friend, your guide, he's trying to help you." Henry explained to Graham. "Wait Henry, how come I can see the wolf too?" Amara asked confused on why she could see the wolf too like Graham. "Because the huntsman gave you the whistle. He basically gave you permission to use his friend whenever you needed him. " Henry explained to Amara. She was not believing all of this was happening at all. "So why am I having all these flashes right after I kiss your mother?" Graham asked Henry. "Well you two have a connection. She owes you her life." "Why" "Well Snow White is her mom and Amara is her aunt. You spared them. If it weren't for you my mom wouldn't be here. "He tells Graham. Amara stands up quickly. "I'm gonna step outside OK." She tells them and heads out of the room and out the door running as fast as she could. Amara runs into Emma who is sitting outside in her bug. Amara walks over to her. " Hey Graham isn't doing too good he should be coming out soon. But I can't stay I'll stop by the station later and we can talk OK." She tells Emma. "Yea OK sure." She said confused as Amara took off down the street.
Amara got a frantic call from Emma asking her to meet her and Graham in the cemetery. By the time she got there they were just getting a door open to a very old crypt. "Hey what are you guys doing?" She asked coming up with a flashlight looking at them confused. "My heart is in here somewhere and I'm going to find it." He says walking inside it. Amara and Emma looked at each other before following him inside.
*The huntsman got escorted into the room as Regina and Joseph came in from the hallway toward him. "I see you're still in mourning." He said commenting on their choice of black clothes. "The time for mourning is over. I simply found that black suits me." Regina said walking over toward him as Joseph stayed back leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "Now tell me is Snow dead?" Regina asked menacingly. He grabbed the end of his satchel and held it up. "The young girl's heart as requested." Regina went to make a grab for it but he pulled it back. "But first I must do something." He informed her. He grabbed the letter from his belt and held it out to her. "What's this?" She asked annoyed. "They girls wanted you to have it. " Regina just looked at him for a minute. "Read it to me." She decided walking away and heading toward her lounge. He started reading. "Dearest Stepmother, by the time you read this I will be dead. I understand you will never have love in your life because of me. Its only fitting that I lose mine as well. For the sake of the kingdom and my sister I hope my death will satisfy your need for revenge. And rule over my father's subjects as they deserve with compassion and a gentle hand. I know what you think you're doing is vengeance but I hope to see it as sacrifice for the good of all. With that in mind I welcome it.. I want you to take my last message to heart. I'm sorry and I forgive you. Please take care of Amara. She doesn't deserve my fate." He finished reading it and Regina angrily snatched the letter from his hands and stomped off toward the fire place. She angrily threw it in the fire. "Don't tell me you're becoming a sheep." She angrily addressed him. "She put others before herself and yet you hate her." He says to her with sarcasm. "What did she do to you?" He asked wanting to know why. "I shared a secret with her and she couldn't keep it. And that betrayal cost me dearly." She looked at him with so much emotion on her face. She walked up to him. "Now show me her heart." She demanded with emotion in her voice. The huntsman took the satchel off his shoulder and handed it to her. She snatched it from him and walked over to a weird looking cabinet. "Alright huntsman where is Amara?" Joseph asked pushing himself away from the wall and walking toward him. "She escaped I couldn't catch her in time." He lied to him. Joseph angrily pushed him against the wall. "We had a deal!" He angrily exclaimed "You were to kidnap Amara and take her to the place I told you to take her." He went to punch him but Regina's words cut him off. "This isn't her heart! This isn't a human heart!" She angrily spit out as she stormed over to them. She pushed Joseph away from him. "What did you do?" She asked angrily. *
Amara and Graham held the flashlights as they looked inside the crypt. "Its got to be in here somewhere." He starts looking through vases and on shelves. Amara and Emma stood back by the door as he frantically searched. "There has to be a hidden door or a lever." He searched all around and still found nothing. Emma walked toward him. "Graham there is nothing here." She tells him. "There has to be otherwise that means-" "Its going to be OK." Emma tries to reassure him. Before anyone could say anything they heard another notice. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" They all look out the door and see Regina and Joseph standing there angrily. "What are you doing here?" Emma asked accusingly. Regina held up the flowers in her hand. "We're bringing flowers to our father's grave like we do every Wednesday." Regina replied. Joseph looked over at Amara. "Amara what are you doing here with them?" He asked opening his arms out as if telling her to come to him. But she stays where she is. "Don't blame them I wanted to come here." Graham said walking down the step looking straight at Regina. "Really Why? What were you looking for?" She asked suspiciously. "Amara what's wrong?" Joseph asked coming to stand by her. "Nothing is wrong Graham is just upset about something that's all." She bounces the question with a quick response. He seemed to accept that and wrap his arm around her. She pulls back away from him. "Don't touch me right now please." She tells him stepping away from him and walking over by Emma. "You don't look well dear. Let's take you home." Regina says grabbing Graham's hand and went to pull him. "Graham pulls away from her. "No. I don't want to go home. Not with you." He admits with disgust as everyone else looks at the pair. "Oh? But you'll go with her?" She pointed her head at Emma with a glare. "Hey this is between you two leave me out of it." Emma says backing away. Regina turned her head toward her. "She's right. This is between us and things have to change. " "And I wonder why that is all of a sudden." She said sarcastically. "This has nothing to do with her. I realized something. I don't feel anything Regina. And I know now it's not me. Its you." "So you're leaving me for her?" Regina asked with no emotion. Joseph walked around them to Amara. " Come on let them have their privacy. This has nothing to do with us. Let's go talk." He whispered in her ear. She nodded her head and he wrapped his arm around her and they snuck off through the cemetery to the entrance by the car so they could talk.
"So what's wrong Amara talk to me." Joseph pleaded as they stood by the car. She sighed and looked over at him. "Something is not right." She tells him. "Graham is losing his mind about these flashes and he swears he knew us in another life." She starts to quiver in her voice. "First Henry, now Graham. At first I thought it was just an imagination of a 10 year old boy, but now I'm starting to wonder if maybe all of this is a lie and" she pauses at what she's gonna say to look him in the eye. "And if that's true than you're the bad guy I've been running from." A small tear rolls down her cheek. She brushes it away. "I really don't want it to be true." She whispered as he slowly walked closer to her. "Its not true. Graham clearly has something wrong and he listened to Henry. I love my nephew but he has a wild dangerous imagination. We are in the real world. This is us." He grabbed her hand and put it on his chest. "If I was the bad guy my heart wouldn't beat like this for you. I wouldn't be falling in love with you." He confessed to her. Her eyes went wide with shock. "I love you Amara." He pulls her closer to him. "That is what's real." She looks up at him and smiles. "I love you too." She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him. He pushes her back against the car. Before things could go any farther they heard Emma stomping past not seeing them. She pushes him away lightly. "I should go see if she's OK." She whispered to him. "And you should go check on Regina." He sighed. "Yea you're right." He kisses her lightly again and then walks away heading towards where they just came from.
Joseph walked toward Regina. "Regina, we have a problem." She turns to him with a glare. "Yea I know we do. I thought I told you to keep Amara away from Emma." She accused. "Don't blame this on me." He stepped closer to her and pointed a finger at her. "I told you this would blow up in your face. If you wouldn't have had that tryst with that huntsman then none of this would be happening." "So now I'm to blame for this? I don't think so. I know how to fix this." She tells him and walks toward the crypt. She pushes through and he follows. She puts the flowers on top of the casket and pushes the casket aside revealing stairs.
* "Did you think you could fool me with the heart of a stag!" The evil Queen exclaims at the huntsman. She uses her powers to slam him against the wall. "You're not going anywhere." She tells him. "She doesn't deserve to die." "That's not up to you. I wanted a heart and I heart I shall have." She slams her hand through his body and grasps his heart and pulls it out of his chest. "What are you going to do to me?" He asked breathless and worried. She slams her lips onto his grasping his jaw. "You're now mine. My pet." She pushes away from him and storms over to her chest that she was going to put Snow's heart in. "And this is your cage. From this moment farther you will do as I say. And if you ever disobey, or ever try to run away all I have to do is squeeze." She squeezed his heart in her hand and h collapsed onto the floor in pain. He screamed in agony. "Guards!" She shouted. The guards came busting in. They each grabbed an arm and pulled him up. "From now on your life is now mine. Forever!" He looked at her with wide eyes. "Take him to my bed chamber." She ordered them. And they dragged him out. Joseph came walking over to her slowly. "Regina what are you doing? This is only going to lead to a disaster." She glared at him and got close to his face. "Mind your own business brother." She snarled out and stormed out of the room.*
Regina and Joseph walked down the stairs and revealed a room. In that room had a cabinet that looked similar to the one Regina had in her castle. She opened a drawer and revealed a box. She removed that box and took it out to a table. She opened the box and it revealed a beating heart. Joseph stared at the heart from across the table leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
Amara walked slowly through town. She was planning to go to the bar and have a couple drinks but for some reason she found herself in front of the sheriff's station. She slowly walked up to the front door. She seen that the lights were still on and figured Emma was there.
Regina looks at Joseph as she holds Graham's heart in her hand. "Do it." He tells her. "It has to be done before anything else goes wrong."
Amara walks in and sees Graham and Emma kissing. Before she has the chance to turn around he quickly pulls away from her. "Graham?" She hears Emma ask him. She sees him look at Emma. And she could swear that Graham looks different all of a sudden like he discovered a secret he didn't know. "Are you OK?" Emma asked him. Amara walked in so they see her. He looked at Amara and his eyes grew wide as if he was seeing her for this first time in a long time. "I remember!" He tells her with a happy smile on his face that she has never seen. He looked back at Emma. " I remember." He smiles and walks closer to her. "You remember what?" She asked confused. He looked at her then Amara then back at her again. "Everything."
Regina looks at the heart with a sad look and a small tear rolling down her face. Joseph just rolled his eyes at her.
Graham walked closer to Emma and grabbed her face lightly. "Thank you." He tells her with a smile. He looked over at Amara. "Your Highness. Its a pleasure to see you again." Amara just looked at him with a shocked expression. He looked back at Emma and leaned in to kiss her.
Regina looked one last time at the heart before she started squeezing it. Joseph gave a satisfied evil smirk.
Before they could kiss Graham collapses against the desk at first and lands on the floor. Amara rushes over to where he and Emma are. "Graham!" Emma exclaims as she holds his head in her lap trying to get him to wake up. Amara quickly checks for a pulse but doesn't find one. She looks at Emma with tears in both their eyes. "He's not breathing." They both collapse on the floor trying to wake him up.
Regina watches as the heart turns to dust in her hand. Joseph claps his hands in mock applause. "Well done sister." He walks up behind her to whisper in her ear. "If only you did that the first time. Would've solved so many problems." He walked away up the stairs. She heard the crypt door slam shut making her jump.
