A/N:I never thought I'd let this story go a year without an update! I just couldn't keep writing it, because once season 4 started up, Elsa became so hard to write. But I've finished, so here you go!

The next morning Emma was woken slowly by the comforting feel of Kilian's chest rising and falling. She turned her head just to look at his face only to be met by his knowing smirk.

"Sleep well ,Love?"

"Better than I thought I would considering what we have to do today," she replied almost whispering.

"Yes, I guess we should ready ourselves. What do you need me to do?"

"Stay safe," she replied immediately. "That, and play comatose so she doesn't know that you're not actually on the verge of death. That would be really helpful. We've got the rest of it worked out...mostly."

"Mostly? What have you not figured out yet?"

Emma didn't reply immediately, trying to gather her thoughts before she spoke. She knew that what she was going to say might change the way he looked at her.

"I was thinking...She doesn't seem to like you or Gold. I don't see her changing her mind about going after you guys. I know the plan is to have her follow you two over the town line and double back right into my and Regina's path, but what if we just...what if we just left her out there? That would have to be better than being in Rumpelstiltskin's vault. And she can't freeze anyone or cause the weather to go crazy. Based on what I know about her, it might be a better option for everyone involved," she said avoiding looking at Killian.

"What are you and Regina planning on doing to her, when we double back around"

"Yesterday the plan was to end her. Today, I'm rethinking that. I was so scared and angry about what she did to you and I didn't really think it through very much. More reaction than anything else."

Killian just looked at her for a minute before saying "Love, killing someone is not for you, ever. Under any circumstance except self defense. It does something to your soul that...I never want you to experience. Is there anyway to subdue her and send her back to Arendale? Can we not offer her that option?"

Emma got out her phone to call Regina to ask about it. While they were discussing the possibilities, she got up and started to get ready to head to the town line. She nodded to Killian, who was still just laying in bed to get up, but he just stayed in the bed. Getting off the phone, she turned to him and stared at him hard.

"What? I'm supposed to be comatose. I don't move on my own. You'll have to do it for me, but be gentle Love. I'm very fragile right now and I know how rough you can be," he said with a smirk.

"I'll show you fragile," Emma mumbled to herself as she used her magic to get him out of the bed and into the wheelchair Dr. Whale had placed in the room the night before.

Killian just laughed as Emma pushed him down the hall before remembering that he was supposed to be playing dead.

As they pulled up to the town line, Emma noticed that Robin Hood was standing off to the side, as if he was trying to hide in the woods. She looked at Regina to see how she was handling it, but either she was pretending she didn't see him, or she had no idea he was there. She also noticed that Gold was nowhere in sight. She took a deep breath as she parked her car and got comatose Killian out and into the wheelchair again, and if she bumped his head once or twice, on accident, what could she say? She could be rough sometimes.

"Where's Gold?" she asked with no preamble.

"He's coming. He had a few things he couldn't leave Storybrooke without. He should be here any" Regina started before being interrupted by the man himself popping in front of Emma.

"Sorry Dearies, there were some things I was afraid to forget," he said emphasizing the word forget and carefully placing an old tattered shawl around his neck.

"Alright, well Killian is ready. I just..." Emma started to shiver as she noticed the temperature dropping. "You guys need to go now, she's coming."

Gold took the handles of Killian's wheelchair and started pushing him in the direction of the town line. Emma set her shoulders and turned around eyes searching for Elsa. The witch was coming, and soon, the temperature was continuing to drop steadily and everyone in their little group was shivering almost uncontrollably. Then the snow started. It was falling softly, as if it were trying to lull the heroes into a false sense of security before the storm started.

Regina called out, "Elsa, we know you are here. We sent them away to protect them from you, so just stop. We're all tired of being cold."

A gust of wind and snow rushed at their group and Elsa stepped out of it. Emma had to admit that it was a pretty cool trick, but knew that now was not the time to be awed by it. She stepped forward slightly towards Elsa and planted her feet. Regina did the same, as did David, Snow and Belle.

"You cannot harm them. We are sending them over the town line. You can't follow them or you lose your magic. We can send you back to Arendale, but nobody else can be harmed," Emma said through shivering teeth.

"You would save those 2 horrible excuses for human beings?!" Elsa shrieked. "Do you know what they are capable of? Trickery and deceit, that is all they are capable of."

"Maybe at one time, that was true, but not now. They are trying to be the best version of themselves. I understand that you are hurt, and probably very lonely. I don't know how long you were in the vault, but we can send you back," Snow said to the queen.

"They won't want me back. Not after what I did to them, again. I'm stuck here, and you're stuck with it being cold. Get used to it," she sneered.

"You don't know that," Snow said gently. "I'm sure your sister would love to see you again."

"She would, but not until I get rid of the pirate and the dark one. I promised her, I would make it right again. Killian Jones caused me to freeze my entire realm, and the Dark one bottled me up because of it. They are both going to pay."

Elsa started walking towards them and Regina and Emma lifted their hands, ready to make fire. Before any of them could do more than that, Elsa froze them all. Emma screamed in frustration and anger as she tried shooting fireball after fireball at the thick ice with no effect. Her magic just wouldn't work and it looked like Regina was having the same problem. She stood there, frozen and helpless as Elsa started for the town line. She just hoped that Gold and Killian had made it far enough that they could start to double back. They would need Gold to get them out of this.

Out of the corner of her eye she could see some movement near the woods where she had seen Robin standing. Frozen as she was, she couldn't really see much beyond colors flying by. It seemed to go on forever. She started losing track of time. Had she been frozen for a minute or an hour? She couldn't tell. She was so cold, and she couldn't even shiver to create additional body heat. Suddenly she began to thaw out. The ice was melting and she saw her pirate standing in front of her ready to catch her as she stumbled out of the human sized ice cube.
