I do not own Once Upon a Time.

Sadly, this chapter was annoying to write. But the next one will be good.


Amelia and Neal more or least stayed out of Emma's way as she continued her search for the Snow Queen. They watched after Henry and Roland when it was needed. The two boys were so cute together. Amelia was right; Henry would be a great big brother.

Somehow the Snow Queen got herself caught because she wanted a quiet moment alone with Emma. Seriously, there were easier ways of getting moments like that.

She got under Emma's skin, causing the Savior to blow a hole in the wall of the station. Amelia wondered how that was getting fixed and paid for. The action freaked everyone out, including Emma's own parents and Emma did what she did best, run.

Henry even went to look for her. He found and got hurt in the process, sadly. This was not like Emma at all. She always protected Henry no matter what, against every villain since arriving in Storybrooke.

Amelia and Neal found themselves at Mary Margret and David's loft, they were discussing their daughter with Elsa.

Amelia had agreed with Killian, that Emma couldn't go that far with the ice wall still surrounding the town. And maybe some alone time would be good for her. This Snow Queen had suddenly made the whole situation very personal. Personal was never good.

Regina even stopped by, but it was more for Henry than Mary Margret or David. Henry needed his mom and at least he had choices.

But Emma did contact her parents eventually, after having made an important choice about her life. One that her parents felt obligated to back her up with while Regina thought they were taking the easy way out. Emma found a way to get rid of her magic, no word on how exactly. Regina had argued that Emma's magic was a part of her and getting rid of it was stupid.

"Emma's magic is very unpredictable; she can't control it. But for once I agree with Regina." Amelia put her two cents in.

"You seem to know a lot about magic." David commented.

Amelia gave him a half smile and twisted her hands together. "I'm the librarian, I read a lot."

Mary Margret and David saw the light and knew they had to get to their daughter before she did something she might regret. Killian went with them; Amelia saw a very worried look in his eyes before they all departed the loft.

Amelia still had to babysit one kid, Roland back at her apartment while Robin stayed with Marian, so she had Henry go with his grandparents. She gave him a hug and told him to call her later.

It was much later that night, Amelia and Neal saw fireworks in the sky at the far end of town. Could this be Emma losing her magic or finally accepting it? It took a quick phone call to Henry to find out all the details.

Emma still had her magic, it was Elsa who had convinced her to keep it. That was their bond, one that no one else in the town understood. They both had an uncontrollable power that made them special but also set them apart from their family members.

But the town was far from safe, both Elsa and Emma now had enchanted ribbons around their wrists. They were connected to the Snow Queen whether they wanted it or not.


"She is going to try and destroy us all." Mary Margret told Amelia over the phone the next day. "Ingrid, the Snow Queen, is going to enact the curse of Shatter Sight. We will become the worst versions of ourselves. Basically the whole town will turn on each other and there will be no one left in Storybrooke expect for Emma and Elsa. Ingrid wants her perfect happy family."

Amelia sighed and pinched her nose. Of all the curses they had dealt with, this one had to be the worst. "Ok, what do we do?"

"Everyone has to stay separated from each other until Emma can find a way to stop it."

"Alright, sounds like plan." Amelia said, ready to hang up.

"Amelia, take care of yourself." Mary Margret said, there was some worry in her voice.

"You too." Now Amelia hung up and looked over at Neal, who had been listening next to her. Worst version of herself? A bounty hunter who killed people and ruined lives with no thought for anyone but herself? She had to listen to Mary Margret's advice and go somewhere safe.

He pulled her into a tight hug. "Go, you of all people should not be wandering the town or near people. I will see you when this spell breaks. Emma will find a way."

Amelia bit back tears. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." Then she forced herself away and left the apartment.


Now where could she be safe? Her apartment was her first safe place, but Neal would be there. What kind of things would she say or do with him around? Then there was the forest, but not the best choice at the current moment. There was always the library, her first safe place in Storybrooke.

As she made her way down the streets of Storybrooke, she pulled out her cell phone. She had a few last minute 'I love you's to say.

Michael answered the phone.

Amelia wasted no time, she had no idea when the curse would hit. "It's Amelia. There's a curse coming, one that will transform us all into our worse selves. I need you all to stay apart until it ends. I'm going to protect myself. I love you, all of you so much. You were always there for me and I am so grateful."

"We love you too, sweetheart. Go protect yourself." He knew there wasn't much time and he would pass the message along.


Amelia entered the library and locked the door behind her. The keys went next to the door on a table. A pair of handcuffs came out of her jacket pocket and she searched for a good spot to attach them to. Something immovable, she knew there were a few book cases that were bolted to the floor. She had an idea of how horrible she could be, even she didn't want to be around her like that.
