(Before I start, I would like to address a few concerns I saw in the reviews. Let's start with the easiest one:

Athena Skywriter: Obviously David cares about the safety of his daughter, but right now he is in a lot of pain for losing both the women in his life. Of course Snow's death is hitting harder because he actually knows she is dead. He knows Emma can take care of herself, that she is a strong independent girl, and he also knows – all too well – that if Adda wanted to kill her, he would have just done, instead of pulling out all of this. So of course he wants her back, but he just cant stop thinking of how to get his wife back, since he is sure that will be much harder.

PopPotter777 and other reviewer who didn't leave a username: I gave what you mentioned some thought, and I really wouldn't mind changing my plans a little to go with what you suggested, but I don't really understand why David should die too. First of all: the first 6 seasons of the show are canon to this fanfic, so they do share a heart, but from what I understood, their love was so strong that a heart is enough for both of them to live. I am sure there would be a spell which could make them both die just by killing one, but no spelled killed Snow, she was stabbed. And as you may have noticed, David felt himself being stabbed, which was supposed to mean they are still softly linked. But I think at this point their hearts are independent enough to continue to live even though the other doesn't anymore. I hope this is understandable enough. As I said, it isn't because I don't wanna change what I planed – I actually did think of something I could do if I followed your idea – but to me it doesn't make sense for him to die. So, please don't hate me.

Anyway, here is another chapter. Hope you like it, and hopefully you will catch a reference to a well known fairy tale – I am not going to say which one, let's see if you guys can guess.)

In the exact moment Rumple and Hook entered the living room with the locater potion ready, Regina poofed both her and David back to her house, where Henry and Belle were impatiently waiting for everyone. Rumple was just about to ask where the two of them went, when he realized David's face said it all: he went to see his wife again. Rumple could definitely pretend like he knew the pain David was in, but in reality, he didn't. He had once lost a wife, but he was the one who killed her, so there is no need to say that doesn't count.

Hook just wanted to get over with it, so he took a step forward and showed the vile with the potion in his hand, so everyone could see it. "We should get going." With no one disagreeing, Rumple poofed everyone to Emma and Hook's house so they could find something of hers.

"To make the spell even stronger, maybe we should pick, not just something of Emma's, but something she values very much. Like her baby blanket." Regina said, thinking of how a locater spell wasn't enough to lead them to her sister, earlier that day.

"I know exactly where it is." Hook started running upstairs to their bedroom and he was back with it in no time.

"We shouldn't waste more time. Let's go!" Regina took the potion from Hook's hand and spilled it on the blanket. It started shining with a little shade of white, and a few seconds after that, it floated in Regina's hand and started flying outside.

No words were needed for everyone to start following it. They all went after the blanket with Regina, Rumple and Hook in the front and David, Henry and Belle right behind them.

While he was walking, David felt someone put a hand on his back. With the speed of a knight, he turned and saw it was Belle. "David, I'm so sorry!" Belle had no idea what to say to the poor man, but she knew she had to say something.

David gave her the biggest smile he could form, which wasn't very big a lot, and simply replied with a "Thank You!" He really wasn't in a talking mood, and he could see that Belle understood it, which is why she didn't say anything else.

Most of their journey was very quiet, with just an occasional blow of the wind and the singing of birds. After all, the blanket was leading them through the woods. It was only about half an hour after they left Emma's house that they actually started seeing something which seemed to point out they were getting close: at first it was just one, then a few, but where they were, pretty much everything which was a plant (trees, bushes, flowers…) had thorns. And as they walked, more and more popped up, to a point where they were so many and so big that they covered the path. Regina made the blanket stop moving forward, or it would turn to shreds.

"What is that?" David asked, walking to the rest of them. "that wasn't there before."

"It must be another test Adda wants us to pass. Well, this time he won't win." Regina ignited a fireball in her hand and was just about to throw it when she felt someone grab her hand.

"Not so fast, luv. Do you see that?" Hook pointed at the edge of one of the thorns near them. It was filled with a black liquid. "That's dreamshade. If you destroy it all that way, who knows where it will go to."

"So, what do you suggest?" Regina was in no mood for more games. It was getting late, they could barely see anything in that light, and the only thing which was guiding their way, the blanket, had to be put on hold. She was still exhausted from the battle, and not to mention emotionally broken from the recent death of her friend, and the disappearance of another.

"We will have to do this slowly" Rumple said before Hook could reply. "You and I go in front, and we open the path slowly so the dreamshade doesn't jump out of the thorns." He looked at everyone "and we all need to stay very close together, because the path won't stay open for long." He could feel the magic in all those plants, which would prevent anyone from moving them permanently. They would have to move very close together, with no pauses, and at a steady pace.

Regina disabled the fireball and grabbed the blanket, which was still ready to take them to Emma. "Fine, then. Let's just get on with it."

In a few seconds, they were all ready to continue. Regina and Rumple were in the front, ready to work their magic, David and Henry were behind them and Belle and Hook were in the end of the line. Rumple looked back once more making sure everyone was ready and he and Regina started to open the path.

Adda may be a terrible and vicious villain, and he could have probably made the dreamshade kill them all, but fortunately (or not) he didn't make it a lot hard to get to where Emma was being held. The path may have been field with thorns, but it was a short ride, and in a few minutes, they were all staring at a house in the middle of the woods, with no major events happening on the road. Rumple thought it would be so much harder than it actually was, but when they went through, he didn't feel relieved because if the house didn't have a big protection spell in the outside, then there would be more on the way.

"This house… This is Adda's house. The house where I found him and Robin earlier today." Regina hadn't recognized to path there because Adda had changed the forest, but the house was clearly the same.

"Are you sure?" David took the sword out of his belt, ready to use it at any moment.

"Yes, of course I'm sure."

"And the blanket is still leading here?" Hook didn't want to wait any longer to rescue Emma. He loved her more than anything, and being apart, having no idea what happened to her, was very frustrating.

Regina made the blanket continue its search, and it flew inside the house. They all followed it upstairs and to a room where they found Emma lying on a bed, apparently asleep. At least that was what they all hoped she was doing. Hook ran to her and started shaking her, but she didn't wake up. It was only a few seconds after, that it hit him: What if she was under a sleeping curse? In his head that made perfect sense, even though Adda wouldn't put so much work into something only so that it could be broken by a simple kiss. Hook started leaning towards Emma, ready to kiss her.

"I don't think that is a good idea" Rumple said, realizing what Hook had planned. Everything still felt very easy to him. The only obstacle to far had been the thorns, but that didn't seem like a real one to him. Everything was just being too simple.

But Hook ignored Rumple. He didn't care he thought that was a not good idea. He was going to try it, because the worse thing which could happen was nothing. Well, not exactly, but that was true in his head.

Hook continued to lean to his wife slowly, and when his lips touched hers, he was blasted to the ceiling and fell again on the bed. They all ran to him, and realized he had passed out. Or at least that was what it seemed, after they tried to wake him up, Regina put her hands close to him and could feel he had gotten under a sleeping curse.

"Mom, what is it? What happened to him?" Henry knew his mother all too well, and he could immediately realize she had found something. Something which was definitely not good.

"He's under a sleeping curse" She said simply, still not wanting to believe it. Still unsure how that was possible.

If everyone else in that room was shocked, the same can't be said for Rumple. He knew there was something which felt off, and that was proof of it. He approached Emma's body and immediately realized how that happened. "it's because of Emma." He started "She is under a sleeping curse, but one I never saw before. If someone tries to wake her up with true love's kiss, that just makes that person fall into a sleeping curse themselves. "
