Hello there everyone! How was you guys' Thanksgiving? Hope it was good. Okay time to address the last two comments. I am not really sure what you mean by how I am 'bashing charming'. I am trying my best to write the characters as close to their personalities on the show as possible. How does demanding to be let go make him arrogant, he thought he was being attack and farthermost he wanted to protect Emma. I just don't understand the issue. Sorry. But not to worry I will take in what you said so thank you for the suggestion and sorry if it seem like Charming was out of character. Now for the two comment, thanks for the suggestion. Not to worry I will make this different starting with the fact that charming went with Emma and not Snow. This in my mind will change a lot of things. But do remember this AU is changed to fit Emma's age so there shall be some similarities but also some changes. I will take in your suggestion though and in the future I will have more scenes that are different. Thank you too everyone who comments please continue to read.

Our Castle

It seem like ages before Charming could find a good hiding spot deep in the forest for them to rest. He gently shook Emma awake so he set her down. She looked at him in confusion. " Sorry but I need to set you down. I will find things to make a bed and stuff for a fire. It would be easier if you could walk. Come along. " He said but she stood in place as he set her down. He turned to look at her.

" I am big enough to watch myself. I am too tired to walk, I want to stay here. " Emma said crossing her arms. David sighed. He didn't like the idea but he doubt she would listen. He didn't want to force rules on her until they were safe home.

" Okay fine. Just scream if you need me, I won't be long. " He said and turned to leave. Emma sighed and sat down leaning against a tree. She looked around the place. It looked a little bit like the forest back home but different. She could tell strange things lied in the distant, creatures she never seem. She was a bit afraid and kinda wished she went with him. She hugged her knees to her chest and tried to block out the noises she heard.

"Little girls shouldn't stay out in the forest alone. " a voice came from behind Emma. She leaped to her feet and put her hands up in defense. Cora came from behind the shadows. She laughed as she came closer. Emma backed up and tried to scream but nothing came out. She shrugged for air " Oh don't even try. I am not in the mood to fight with dear old dad. Listen hear kid this is a warning. When you get to your castle, I want you to burn the wardrobe. And if you don't I kill your father then find a way to your world and kill everyone there including your lovely mother. Got it?" Cora threaten.

Emma gasped for air and felt her life slipping away, she nodded her head as tear fell from her eyes. Cora put her hand down letting go of the magic that held Emma's lungs shut. Emma stumbled backwards and fell on her behind. Cora stepped forward leaning over Emma with a smile but gasped when suddenly a sword was at her throat from behind.

" Back away from my daughter. " Prince Charming said from behind Cora. Cora chuckled in within seconds vanished into air. Emma finally let a scream out as tears fell from her eyes. Charming raced over and picked her up. She buried her face into his shoulder. What was she going to do? She couldn't tell him what she said but they needed the wardrobe to get back. Either way Cora would get to their world. " It is okay. I am here." Charming said sweetly. He carried her to the campsite where he managed to gather leaves and soft things for a bed.

" I am so sorry.. I should have listen to you." Emma said as she sat down on the ground hugging her knees. Charming had started to make a fire. A fish was laying on the ground next to the wood he had. He had dropped all of it when he noticed Emma was missing.

" It is okay, Em. You are safe now. We will find a way home and get away from her. Did she tell you anything?" He asked. Emma had grown up knowing how to lie. She was good at it. She knew if she said nothing he would know So she needed a cover.

" She warned me to stay away from the wardrobe. That was all she had to say then she attacked me before you came up. If you wouldn't have.." She trailed off and Charming squeezed her shoulder.

"I would have never let anything happen to you, Em. I will always protect you. Next time when I say to come with me, you need to come. No buts. " He said sternly as he started the fire. He started to roast the fish he had caught. Emma rest her head on her knees.

" How did you and mom meet. " Emma suddenly asked. She wanted to change the subject, not liking all the emotional things. Charming smiled as he cut up the fish with his sword and divided it up for him and her. She took her half and Charming dived into the story. Before he knew it she was finished her fish and almost falling over in sleep. Charming had just got to the part when Snow saved him from the trolls and they went their separate ways. He walked over to Emma and gently laid her down, kissing her forehead.

" Goodnight my Princess. " He said softly. He brushed her hair out her face and smiled. She was just so perfect. He sat down next to her and held his sword out prepare to watch over her all night. Before he knew it morning was here and he had managed to drift off. It was Emma who had woke him up.

" Dad time to go." He heard her say. He blinked opened his eyes to see her standing in front of her. He shook himself awake. He got to his feet and looked around. He couldn't believe he fell asleep. Emma could tell he was freaking out. She grabbed his hand. " It is okay we are fine. Come on we need to get home. " Emma said and Charming nodded walking ahead of her.

They pushed through the forest until they finally broke free to a small clearing. Charming stopped and held her back. Once he got a better look of what was before him, he gasped. There was vines spreading across a huge gated courtyard. There was dusty pathway that lead to one of the biggest castles Emma had ever seen. Her mouth hung opened. Charming turned to her, squeezing her shoulder. " Emma welcome to our castle. " He said as he guided her up the pathway to the home she should had grown up in.

Back in Storybrooke

" Okay so do we have a plan?" Snow asked. She was standing in her loft's living room. She looked tired. She hadn't slept right since her husband and daughter fell through the portal. Her eyes were red from crying. Now she was surrounded with Red, Henry and even Regina. They had to figure out something.

" We need a portal. As I have told Red our land still exist but I really have no idea how we can create a portal there. I only how to get here by the curse. " Regina said shrugging her shoulders. She only agree to help because Red told her too and she knew Henry would be upset if she didn't. Snow looked at her with danger eyes.

" Well find a way Regina! My husband and daughter are in a world that is probably running with all kind of creature out to kill them. This is the land we all knew and loved. I could lose them and I am sure you would that but since you have decided for whatever reason to help us then that is what you will do. Now Regina go to Rumble and find a way to portal to them. " Snow demanded and Regina just rolled her eyes leaving them. Red grabbed her friend's shoulder.

"Snow you need to rest. You need to sleep. "Red said but Snow refused. She shook her head and began to pace back and forth.

" That has to be a way to talk to them. To ask them what is going on. Maybe something over there can help. " Snow said. She turned to face them and seen Henry looked a bit upset. She went over to him.

" Will they ever get back..?" He asked a bit heartbroken. Snow hugged her nephew. Well he was basically his nephew since Red was like a sister.

" Yes. We always find each other. " Snow said. Red came over and hugged both them. Together they each took in the support of each other. Snow knew that together they would get them back.
