After a small meeting with Regina at the police station, Emma, David and Regina had all decided that it might be police business after all to at least check this whole thing with the snow away at the barn in the woods out. So Emma and David had dressed up in winter gear and was now waiting for Ruby outside of Grannys. She had wanted to come since she was the one to find the place and honestly, her high hearing and sense of smell could be really helpful. Now she came running down the stairs of Grannys in nothing but a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans with her red cloak hanging over the arm.

"Wow! That's all your wearing? You do realize we're going into the winter wonderland right?"

"Yeah, but I'm going to be in wolf-shape most of the time anyway and I did bring my cloak."

"Right. The red magic cloakey thingey. Uhm... okay then let's go!"

The little group got into Emmas yellow bug and they drove off. They could have taken the police car, but according to Emma it gave them way too much attention for her to feel comfortable. And even though it was quite old, the little car ran surprinsingly smooth and fast towards the forest.


Meanwhile, Killian was out looking for stuff that had belonged to him in the Enchanted Forest, and what better place to find lost items than at Rumplestiltskins, or mr. Golds shop? The entire place was filled with trinklets and furniture of all kinds and if Killian were to guess, most of it didn't go with the curse but had belonged to Rumple for a long time either because he stole them or because he got them out of some strange deal. Now the only time you needed to actually pay for something in this shop was when you wanted something that originally wasn't yours and if the owner came after it was bought, he or she recieved the money for it. It really was quite fair.

Today Killian managed to find a compass, a green vest of his and a small pocket watch. He was just about to leave the shop when he suddently spotted a divine necklace in one of the glass cabinets. It was a simple silver chain with two tourqoise jems and a large purple one in the middle. He walked over to look at it up close when he heard a clear voice behind him.

"Do you like it? It would suit Emma perfectly."

He turned around and saw Belle standing there behind him. Her hair seemed to have been brushed quite recently and the clothes looked new as well. He didn't want to think about why she was recently dressed at 14 pm. Instead he only cared for the necklace.

"Aye, it would suit her. How much does it cost?"

"Well it's been here for as long as I can remember and no one has asked for it so if it's for Emma you want it... I think I can be generous and just let you have it."

"You would give me a necklace for free just because it's for Emma?"

Bell nodded as a response. Killian could never get over the generosity of these people, but he supposed all you could do was to thank politely and take their gifts.


In the forrest, the little group were closing up on the barn, but for Emma and David it was not easy to be silent. For every step they took, their feet sank a bit through the snow and made a crunching sound. Ruby on the other hand had taken the form of a big, black wolf and was carefully walking on top of the snow rather than pulsed through it. When she reached the entrance she could once hear the two voices and nodded to Emma and David to come closer and listen with her. They hurried as silently as they could, but unfortunately, David stepped on a dry twig hidden beneath the snow and the conversation inside fell silent. After a while you could hear the young womans voice.

"Olaf, it would appear we're having company. What do you say we go greet them?"

The next second a young woman with a long, blue dress and practically white-blonde hair appeared in the door and by her sid stood... a snowman. Emma couldn't believe her eyes. This was without doubt the most peculiar thing she had ever seen, and that's saying a lot when you're coming from Storybrooke.

"Is that a... talking snowman?"

"Hi. I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

The snowman raised his... twig and waved to her, but before she could bring herself to wave back to him, the woman interrupted.

"Oh shut up Olaf! Who are you and why are you here?"

"I'm David and this is Emma... and that is Ruby."

"The wolf? It's called Ruby? What a strange name for a pet... Anyway, there's only one person that I want to meet and unless you can bring him to me then I think it's time for you to leave."

Emma and David exchanged looks. She was talking avout Rumplestiltskin, no doubt about it, but Rumple would not likely come all the way out here unless she posed as a direct threat to the town They would just have to bring her to him. With a nod they agreed and then jumped towards her to take her down. Within a second and with only raising her hand, David suddently turned into a solid ice statue and Emma now couldn't care less about Elsa.

"DAVID!"

"Don't worry dear. Love will thaw him, just be careful so he doesn't break... or melt."

That last part she said with a smile of malicious satisfactiona and then turned back into the barn which she with Olaf close behind. Emma stood still watching her with her arms clining to Davids frozen torso. Snow White... Snow White could fix this. She had to and she would.
