The group started following the footprints that they found. "Emma we will find them, who ever did this and we will recover his body some how or another!" Hook promised her soothingly as they moved through town.
The footprints led into the forest until they stopped in a fork in the road, three paths were there. "But which path did they take now?" Emma asked shakily.
David sighed, "there's only one way we can do this, we're going to have to split up, we'll each take a path, and if you find anything, give the others a call!"
Emma and Hook both agreed to the plan. David choose the path on the right and started walking, Emma watched until he was out of sight, and then set her shoulders. She took the path in the middle and followed the path.
She walked for what felt like hours, she grew wary and stopped to sit down and rest a minute. She took out her bottle to get a drink of water, but then things started getting creepy.
Emma looked up and saw a wolf, one that she had seen before, it had one normal eye and one red one, it was the same one she and Graham had seen when she first came to town the one that had led to his death.
Emma bolted to her feet, and stopped in front of the wolf, would it lead her to Graham's body? She wondered quietly. The wolf started heading down the path, and Emma followed as fast as she could trying to keep the wolf in sight.
Just then Emma slammed right into a figure on the road, and fell over to the ground. Emma groaned in pain and started to get up when her eyes fell upon the figure, she lifted her flash light and shined it on him, and promptly dropped it in shock staring at him.
"It can't be!" Emma stammered in shock.
Graham looked at her as if he couldn't see her,
"Surprised are you, now I am going to make you pay with your life!" Graham fell upon a her, his hands wrapped around her neck trying to squeeze the life out of her.
Just at the moment David and Hook burst through the trees and pulled him off of her.
Emma looked at the man she had thought had been dead the last two years.
"But Graham why? Why are you wanting to kill me? I thought you liked me two years ago!" she whispers.
"Like you, why would I like the woman who kissed me and then tried to murder me?" Graham declared.
"But I never tried to harm you, I didn't kill you, I swear, Regina killed you not me! But she has changed since then she's not the same woman she had been then!" Emma told him gently.
"I'm the savior, I'm Emma Swan I loved you, I would never have tried to hurt you! I cried for days after you died, I was miserable, I loved you! And if you really are still alive then I still do love you! I never stopped loving you!" she told him.
But she could see clearly that he was disoriented. His memories were all clouded and messed up somehow.
"Come we must get him into town and see if we can find a way to restore his memories back to him, somebody must have given him false memories of what happened that night, we need to replace them with the real ones!" David told Emma gently, handcuffing Graham.
The three of them started leading him into town where they placed him in the mental health ward of the hospital. "This is just until you get your memories back!" Emma explained to him gently.
"And there are a lot of people that think your dead, we need time to prepare them for what happened, it's been two years since your death, and this will be a huge shock to them, I need to break the news to them gently or they would panic." Emma explained to him.
"Come David, Hook, before they come looking for us and wonder what is going on." Emma suggested. And they all headed home.
Emma lay in bed when they got home but try as she might she could not go to sleep, all she could do was lay there thinking about Graham.
How? How had he come back? He had been dead for two years, how was it possible that he was alive again? Was it to good to be true? Would it be possible to help him regain his memories? Or would the man always look at her and think she had done it?
Emma was very stressed about this new discovery. What would the town do? How would Regina react when she discovers that Graham was back? What would everyone else do when they found out about him?
Would they hate her for locking him up in the mental ward? It had been for safety reasons, he was not himself yet, it was only until his memories were recovered. Some how they had to make him remember, the question was why would somebody give a dead man false memories?
Somebody else had to have done some kind of spell to bring him back, somebody had to have done it in order to kill her? And it had to have been somebody who knew about her history with Graham and known that she would hesitate to hurt him would go looking for him, would go after who ever tried to pillage his grave, would hesitate to do anything when she saw him would have been to shocked to stop Graham from killing her.
Somebody had meant for her to die at the hands of a man she had loved, but why Graham? Why not Neal? Why not the man she had last seen? Wouldn't he have been less of a shock a better man to have killed her with? But no somebody had chosen Graham!
