She spent the night in a real bed, something she hadn't had the pleasure in doing in a long while. But her sleep was interrupted during the breakfast hour by a shout and someone firing a gun.

She rolled off the side of the bed in shock and opened her eyes to see remnants of blue smoke.

Emma, gun at the ready, looked down to where she was situated on the floor.

"You alright?"

Watcher gave herself a quick pat down 'Arms, legs, head' she rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"Yeah, seem to be. That's definitely what I'd call a wakeup call!" She looked towards the wall.

"Mary-Margaret's gonna kill you" she stated off handedly.

Emma looked to the wall and made a noise of discomfort and concern "You might be right, should I go into hiding?"

They shared an amused look and the sound of a door banging open caught their attention.

"Emma?! Watcher?!"

Emma quickly made her way down stairs as did Watcher, only slower.

Watcher made her way over to the kitchen bench and proceeded to make herself something to eat.

'Cereal will do'

And just watched as the conversation started to flow.

"What was that?! What happened?!" Mary-Margaret's voice was frantic as David pulled Emma into a quick embrace.

"Nothing I couldn't handle" Emma replied "I went to wake up Watcher and Cora was in the room"

Watcher stopped eating and stared up at the Saviour, mouth full, making a noise that would be akin to 'Ehh?!'

"Cora?! Well what do you think she was doing here?" David asked.

Emma shrugged.

"She was just standing over her when I saw her, I don't know how long she'd been there. Actually it looked as if she was just watching her sleep"

Another noise was made by Watcher.

"Well how did you get rid of her?"

Watcher raised a brow in amusement and just looked into her bowl.

"Uhh...I shot at her"

Mary-Margaret's head tilted by a miniscule amount "There better not be bullet holes in my wall"

Emma and Watcher shared a look, slightly amused and slightly I-told-you-so. Mary-Margaret folded her arms and her mouth fell open.

"You shot my wall?!" she said disbelievingly.

David turned his wife to look at him "I don't think that's the bigger issue here. The bigger issue is what Cora wants with her"

Three sets of eyes turned to Watcher.

She swallowed her last mouthful of breakfast and dumped the bowl in the sink.

"Don't look at me! I only met her for the first time yesterday. Although that was a strange meeting..."

"What d'you mean? Strange how?"

Something caught Watchers attention, though it wasn't really unusual if she thought about it "Where's Henry?"

"School"

"I thought you were a teacher?" she stated, pointing to Mary-Margaret

"I have a late start"

"Oh..."

Emma cleared her throat "This, strange meeting?"

"Right!"

Watcher moved around the island to sit at the table, Mary-Margaret joining her.

"When she saw me, this look of...incredulity came over her face! Like she couldn't believe I was real or something like that. And she looked thrilled but poignant the last time I saw her, before the car was exploded, like she was tearing herself apart on the inside"

They had all been listening to her vigilantly, but their thinking had now come to a standstill, trying to decipher Cora's strange actions

"Now that you mention it, I remember Regina being the one who was attacking" Mary-Margaret voiced

"I only saw Cora once and she didn't even lift a finger and then she disappeared and she was just...gone!"

"In the station, before I was so rudely thrown through the window, she did say something weird. She said "It can't be" which to me sorta gives an indication that she already knows me, even though I don't know her"

David leaned on the table next to Mary-Margaret "And the only one who can give any answers to these questions is Cora!"

Watcher stared toward David, then let her face fall into her hands before speaking "I'm going back to the cell, aren't I?"

Mary-Margaret gripped her hand from across the table.

"Sorry kid" Emma replied.

"If Cora's gonna come here looking for you, I can't have Emma putting more holes in my walls" Watcher looked into Mary-Margaret's face "Don't ever let her live it down!"

Mary-Margaret had packed a few of her old clothes in a bag for Watcher and gave her a warm hug as the girl exited the Loft with Emma.

Watcher was feeling more at home the longer she stayed in this dimension.

She'd never encountered nicer people, well aside from a mad man who lived in a blue box, whom she'd hung around with for a while, and not as mad as you would think really.

But they were definitely up there.

Emma let her sit up front with her this time, no cuffs either and all was quiet the whole way to the station...and past it.

The car was turned at a corner and suburbia began to pop up around them as they travelled uphill for a bit.
On the flat, they pulled up out front of a house. A two story, dark and light brown weatherboarded house, with an attic, two turrets one at the back and one at the front with a green railed veranda.

"What are we doing here?"

Emma turned to her, thinking hard on her words.
"Rumplestiltskin came by while you were sleeping. He's devised a way to cross the town line without losing his memories and he wants me to go with him, of course Henry wants to come too. I called him while you were getting changed and told him what you told us. He suggested that you stay at his place, because he's taken the necessary measures to safe guard his house. He's waiting inside for you now, I think he wants to go through some things before leaving"

"Isn't Belle his sweetheart? So wouldn't she be here?"

Emma looked away sadly before turning back to Watcher.

"There was an incident involving Belle, Rumplestiltskin and Hook...and a car. Hook shot Belle who was with Rumplestiltskin, and then a car, that was coming into Storybrooke, hit Hook and ran into a tree. The end result is, there's a new arrival in Storybrooke, Hook's in the hospital, handcuffed to his bed, and Belle's in hospital after accidentally crossing the town line and losing her memories...Rumplestiltskin's not in a great state of mind at the moment and he seems to be really mad with Cora being around. I don't think he wants to give her the chance of having her way, especially if it involves you"

Watcher looked at her agape, mind buzzing "When did this happen?!"

"Last night"

"Last night! So all that stuff with Dr Whale going missing and him turning out to be Dr Frankenstein happened last night!"

Emma looked at her. It was her turn to be agape. "How do you know all this?"

Watcher gave her a pointed look which caused the older woman to blink in realisation "Right"

'I'm messing up the timeline of the story! I should've just stayed incognito!'

Emma walked Watcher to the door and knocked. About five minutes later the familiar sound of Gold's cane sounded behind the door and it opened to reveal him.

"Sheriff Swan, Watcher. Please come in."

Emma waved him off "I won't, I still have packing to do. I'll see you when we get back Watcher"

She gave her a hug and left, her little yellow bug seeming to move quicker, leaving, than it did coming.

Watcher turned slowly and nervously to Rumplestiltskin, who stepped aside to allow her entry

"Well?"

She gulped inaudibly and entered the premises. Half expecting to fizzle into nothingness as she did, at least then she'd be out of this awkward situation. But nothing happened, other than Gold shutting the door loudly, which made her jump.

"This way please" he said moving to the stairs.

Watcher followed him down the hall to a door.

"This will be your room"

She opened the door to a mustard yellow room, with only a bed, a desk and a wardrobe.

"The bathroom's the second on the right from your door. Also, while you're here, I'd appreciate it if you didn't enter mine or Belle's rooms. I have an hour before I leave with Miss Swan, but I'd like to try and see Belle before then if I can. Now I'll leave you to make yourself at home and when you come down I have a request I'd like to discuss with you"

He closed the door as he left her.

She threw her bag on the bed, deciding to unpack later.

'I wonder what'll happen next? When will it happen next? I can't believe this!'
