Chapter 3

'Dagger'

When Emma and Neal got home Henry came running down the stairs. "Hey where have you been?"

"We went out for a walk kid." Emma said. She took her coat of and hanged it on the wall. "Have you done your homework?"

"Nearly I'm just stuck on science."

"Here let me help you kid." Neal said.

"Thanks dad." Neal and Henry then started to jog up the stairs.

"Hey dinner will be ready in half an hour." Emma shouted.

After putting their dinner in the oven she went into the living room and sat on the sofa. All she could think of was Lara. She had no idea who she was but she seemed to be like she already knew her.

'Emma's dream'

I was walking in the woods. I don't know where I was or what woods I was in. I was walking around when I saw a dark figure. When it started to get closer I saw who it was.

"Lara?" She was just staring at me. "What's going on? Where are we?"

"Emma the dagger." She said.

"What dagger?" She was just staring at me again. "Lara what's going on?"

"Don't let the dagger cut you Emma." Then another dark figure started to come out of the trees.

"Well it's nice to see you again Emma."

"Who are you?"

"What?" They started to laugh. "You don't remember me?" The figure was a lady by the sound of their voice. She then held up a dagger. "Do you know what this is Emma?"

"Emma don't let it cut you!" Lara screamed at me.

"Oh you shut up." She then turned round and punched Lara.

"Lara!" The next thing I knew she through the dagger at me.

'End of dream'

I woke up screaming and sitting up. I must of woke Neal up because he sat up.

"Emma are you ok?"

"I have no idea." I was starting to shake. When Neal realised I was he pulled me into a hug. He kissed my head and rubbed my back. When he started to rub my arm it started to hurt. "Ow."

"What is it?" He then rolled up my sleeve. "Emma your bleeding." I looked at my arm and saw blood coming down my arm. "What the hell."

Next day

No prov

The next day Emma went to her parents after dropping Henry off at school. When Emma walked into the apartment to see Marry-Margret doing the dishes. When Marry-Margret saw Emma she said "Hey honey how are you?"

"I'm good, you?"

"Good thanks." When Emma took her red jacket off Marry-Margret saw a cut on Emma's left arm. "Honey what happened?"

"Oh its nothing." Emma said shaking her head.

"Well how did it happen?"

Emma knew there was no point off hiding it so she might as well tell her. "Well I had a really weird dream last night, woke up screaming and with a cut on my arm." Marry-Margret took a small towel and wiped her hands with it. She then said "Ok lets go, sit down and tell me what happened in the dream."

Both Emma and her mother went and sat down on the sofa. Emma then started to tell her mum what happened in her dream, "I was walking in a forest. I don't know where I was or what forest I was in. I started walking around when I someone. When they started to get closer I saw who it was. It was Lara."

"Lara?" Marry-Margret's eyes were wide.

"Yeah well anyway, I asked her where we were and she said something about a dagger and for it not to touch me. Then someone else came, some lady they said I knew who they were. The next thing I knew that lady took out this dagger and Lara screamed at me to tell me not to let the dagger cut me. Then she punched Lara in the face and threw the dagger at me I felt something and then I woke up."

By the end Marry-Margret was speechless. Why was Lara in her daughters dream? What was this dagger? So many thought running through her head. Then something just popped in her head. She sat up from the sofa and grabbed her white coat while she said "Grab you jacket."

"Why?" Emma said looking confused.

"We're going to pay a little visit to gold."

Just before they left David came through the door. "Hey what's going on."

"We'll explain on the way." Marry-Margret said before pushing her daughter and husband out the door.

When they reached Mr. Gold's shop Marry-Margret stormed in. "Hello what can I do for you?" Gold said.

"I would like you to do some explaining please."

"What is it?"

"Have you ever heard of the dagger?" David said.

"Well yes I have lots of daggers."

"No as in the dagger that can't harm me?" Emma said.

"And why are you asking me about this?"

"Well let's just say Emma got a cut from it in a dream." Marry-Margret said.

Gold then walked to his cupboard and came back with a drawing of a dagger. "Is this the dagger you saw Miss. Swan?"

Emma then grabbed the drawing "Yes that's it."

"Its a good this you still alive then."

'Still alive?' "What do you mean by 'still alive?"

"This dagger can kill her by a single cut but because it was in a dream she can survive it."

"So cane you at least heal the cut?" David asked.

"Sorry but no because she was harmed but that dagger it won't work."

David sighed and Marry-Margret said "So are you going to tell Henry or Neal?"

"No I don't want to worry them but I will in time."
