As soon as he'd seen her, Henry had tackled Watcher into a hug and declared he was never letting go of his Aunt.

Watcher, who had tea in her mouth, nearly did a spit take and gagged in shock.
She'd never thought of it that way, but didn't consider it a bad thing, only stating that it would be something she would have to get used to.

Mary-Margaret smiled at the scene between her now Aunt and her Grandson, replying with "You're not the only one".

Watcher stayed for dinner, which she helped to cook, and was glad that she'd been accepted again after everything that had happened between them all.

Leroy had dropped by to talk to David about something and had noticed the card on the nightstand. He wasn't happy that Watcher had gone against his wishes, but he eventually forgave that, after Watcher guaranteed Sneezy's safety.

Watcher left shortly after that, declaring that Regina would probably have her head if she didn't go home.

As she stepped up onto the porch she smiled faintly at these new memories.

She entered the house and dropped the keys onto one of the tables near the wall.

"Where have you been all day?" Regina stood behind her, arms folded and about ready to blow her lid.

Watcher turned to her sister "Well, I went into town to the diner where I was formally told to piss off. Then wandered for a while, got some snacks from the pharmacy and a card for Mary-Margaret to apologise for everything that's happened. Went to the Mausoleum, then was almost killed by a crazy ex...friend from Watcher Town and then spent the rest of the day at Mary-Margaret's Loft"

Regina did not look happy "You said her name too many times for me to like that sentence. And why were you apologising?! We have nothing to be sorry for! She killed our mother!-"

"And It's blackened her heart, I know. But if you want Henry back you're going to have to let it slide. How many people have you killed to get to her!"

"That is not up for conversation!"

"Well it should be! She is my niece for god's sake!"

They glared at each other before Regina stomped to the stairs "Well if you like her so much you should go and live with her!"

she made her way up the stairs and Watcher made her way to the door slamming it behind her.

The moon was full and lit Watcher's path better than the street lamps did. She didn't go back to the Loft, and instead opted for the forest path that lead to the Toll Bridge.

It was dark, of course, but there was enough light filtering through the trees to show her the path.

She stopped by the river that flowed under the bridge, staring at the light that reflected and moved with the water.

'I wonder if Mary-Margaret and Emma will let me stay with them again? Regina's gonna need a few weeks to cool off!'

There was movement behind her and she peered over her shoulder into the shrubs, but she couldn't see anything so she turned back to the water.

'I wonder what Rumplestiltskin did with Greggson?'

There was more movement behind her and this time she turned completely, she stepped carefully toward where the sound had come from being sure to keep as quiet as possible.
There was a snap of a twig and she looked down quickly thinking it had been her but there was only pebbles at her feet.

She pulled up her hood and slipped into the foliage.

Moving further in, she saw something ahead of her but it was gone in an instant.
She moved to the place where she'd seen it but there was definitely nothing there.

There was a low growling to her left.

'I thought there weren't any wolves here?'

She didn't have time to react as she was knocked to the ground and something sharp and hot ripped her shoulder open, nearly tearing off her arm.
She screamed loudly and threw her other arm up to protect her, punching whatever it was.
It jumped away and she rolled onto her stomach to pick herself up but the sharpness dug into her hip and pulled her back. She rolled back onto her back and stared up into the face of an oversized wolf.

She couldn't feel her arm and she was losing felling in her leg, she was also beginning to blackout.

The wolf whined sadly and bolted away. Watcher didn't know much of the world after that.

P.O.V. Change

David, Emma and Mary-Margaret were settling down for the night when there was a scratching at the door.

Mary-Margaret was the one to investigate and when she opened the door found Ruby, in wolf form, sitting there whining sadly.

"Ruby? What're you doing here? What's wrong?"

Ruby leapt forward and grabbed Mary-Margaret's sleeping gown between her teeth pulling her out the door.

"Whoa! Ruby alright! You wanna take me somewhere?"

Ruby barked desperately and moved around behind Mary-Margaret gently nudging her out the door.

"Emma! David! I think we need to go out!"

Ruby barked again a few times.

Emma appeared behind her "What d'you mean?"

David appeared behind her, both looking at Mary-Margaret in confusion.

"I think something's happened"

Ruby barked again and moved back around Mary-Margaret and bolted down the stairs to the street.

David grabbed his keys and his coat and shut the door behind him as he followed his daughter and wife.

They followed Ruby into the forest, a sense of dread filling their bodies.

"Do you think someone's in trouble?" Emma voiced.

"Maybe. Just try to keep up with Ruby" David told her.

They followed her for a few minutes before Mary-Margaret told them that they were on the path to the Toll Bridge. Ruby bolted into the forest by the bridge and went in a little ways before she started barking madly.

David was the quickest of them and saw Ruby by a body.

"Over here!" he threw himself down onto his knees and moved the hood and hair back from the face muttering to himself at the amount of blood, he felt for a pulse and thankfully there was one, but it was faint and fading.

Mary-Margaret and Emma appeared behind him.

"Oh my god!"

"Watcher?!" Mary-Margaret moved around to the other side of the girl's body gently caressing her face, which was pale.

Watcher was shaking slightly under her fingertips as well. David gently pulled Watcher up and into his body to carry her and they all moved as carefully and as quickly as possible to hospital.

Emma told Ruby to go on ahead to the hospital, to get help to meet them halfway.

P.O.V. Change

Victor Frankenstein certainly did not expect to be pulled out of his office by Ruby in wolf form, in fact she round up at least two other Nurses before she left the vicinity.

Eventually, they caught on to the fact the she was pushing them somewhere and eventually they saw David coming towards them with Emma and Mary-Margaret in tow.

"We need a gurney!" David shouted at them.

The other two broke away and ran as fast as they could back to the hospital. Dr Frankenstein fell into step beside them "What happened?!"

"We don't know. Ruby led us to her. She was like this when we found her"

Watcher was shaking more visibly now.

They could see the hospital now and could see the gurney coming towards them and David placed her on it as soon as it was close enough.

Being able to see her properly now Dr Frankenstein decided there was only one thing he could do "One of you run on ahead with me. Prep for emergency surgery"

(Hours later)

Frankenstein emerged from a successful surgery.

It had gotten a little hairy at one point when the girl had started convulsing uncontrollably but it was only for a few seconds and they were able to regain control of the situation.
She hadn't lost as much blood as was first thought. It seemed those pesky little Nanos of hers came in handy.

It was daylight now, so maybe now he could get some answers.

He wandered out into the waiting room, those who had brought her in still waiting, Ruby now in human form.
David, covered in blood, was holding his crying wife close to him. Ruby too, was crying and shaking.

"She's fine"

There was a collective sigh of relief, but Ruby didn't stop crying.

"We have her in an induced coma and are keeping her under observation, but she'll make a full recovery. Now, can anyone tell me what happened? Ruby?"

All eyes fell to Ruby, but she only hiccupped and cried harder.

"Ruby. They were bite marks. Did you attack her?"

They stared at her with shock and confusion.

"No. Ruby wouldn't attack her, she doesn't do that" said Mary-Margaret, Ruby sobbed and looked to Mary-Margaret sadly. Mary-Margaret started to shake her head in disbelief.

"I did" said Ruby quietly.

"But it was an accident! There was something there, in the woods, I was following it and she got in the way! I didn't mean to-"

she broke down into a fresh batch of tears.
