There was a distinct chill in the air in the town of Storybrooke, but no one knew who or what it was. Knowing this town though, everyone knew the answer would come to them sooner or later. The stranger in town wandered around, leaving an icy path behind her as she ventured on the morning road until a motorcycle whizzed past her and her hands shivered before she found them freezing as she felt so lost and alone in this strange and different place she was not accustomed to. She attempted to keep her frigid aura under control as she continued to explore until she saw a shop display a wedding dress which made her think of someone who was once near and dear, but she continued her journey through Storybrooke until she could find some answers to her many questions in this whole new world.
Meanwhile, the Gold family had some breakfast to talk about something strange that had happened at Rumple and Belle's official wedding.
"So, Benjamin, let me get this straight... somehow you brought your brother back with your own magic?" Rumple asked his teenage son.
"I know it sounds weird, Dad, but somehow we found out how to bring him back, especially with help from Goldilocks," Ben explained. "We had to keep it a secret though because we wanted to wait until The Wicked Witch was defeated and I knew if she knew that Neal was still alive that she wouldn't rest until she could make it permanent and probably even make it worse for everybody in town and not just you or Mom."
"That's very noble and mature of you, Ben," Belle said softly. "I wish you would've told us sooner, but I can see why you waited and I'm very proud of you for being mature about that."
"It wasn't easy, Mom," Ben said with a sheepish smile. "Dad can probably tell you how I'm not the best secret keeper, especially with cookies. No matter how quiet I am, Dad could always tell when I'd have a cookie at bedtime."
"Did you leave crumbs in your bed?" Belle smirked playfully as she asked that.
Rumple chuckled quietly behind his hand at that.
"Oh, yeah... that's how he knew..." Ben replied bashfully.
"Either that or I just had my secrets even during The Dark Curse when you were a small child," Rumple smirked, causing Ben and Belle to laugh a little at that. "Well, I suppose we'll all be okay since your mother and I are married now and I was able to save your brother."
"Yeah, I just don't know where he could stay." Ben shrugged.
"You didn't have to give up your bed for him though, he said he was fine on the couch." Belle replied.
"I know, Mom, but I wanted to make him feel more at home." Ben explained.
"That was congenial of you though." Belle remarked.
"Thanks, Mom." Ben smiled at that.
"Of course, Ben." Belle smiled back.
Rumple sighed a bit. "Well, I feel like I need to talk to him about something and I guess your mother and I need to think about what to do for our honeymoon if you don't mind, Benjamin." he then said.
"Sure, Dad, I'll try to keep busy," Ben nodded. "Is it okay if I have Grandpa Moe come over? I feel safer with an authority figure in the house."
"Well, at least that way there's no wild teen parties to worry about." Belle admitted.
"Oh, Mom, I would never do that." Ben reassured her confidently.
"I'm sure you wouldn't, but a mother always just likes to make sure her babies are safe and sound." Belle replied.
"I understand, Mom, plus I had to go 16 years without you." Ben admitted.
"Try 28 years." Rumple added with a weary sigh.
Belle then reached out and patted his hand.
"Thank you, my dear Belle." Rumple smiled at that.
"Of course, darling." Belle smiled back.
Rumple nodded before he took a look at the time. "Well, maybe we can get going after the dishes are put away?" he then suggested. "I'd like to talk with Neal about something."
"Sure, Dad, I'll clear the table." Ben offered.
"Thank you, Benjamin," Rumple said as he gently ruffled up his son's brunette hair. "You never really did cause me a lot of trouble when you and Evie were very young aside from a few discrepancies, but nothing to call Sheriff Graham about."
"Well, I guess you're a better father than you thought even if you ended up stranding Neal in London until he ended up in Neverland." Ben admitted bashfully.
"I don't know about stranding him, but thank you, my son." Rumple replied.
"No problem, Dad," Ben nodded. "Just let me know what you guys do so I can call Grandpa."
"Of course, Benjamin. Excuse me." Rumple replied as he got up from his seat.
"We'll be right here waiting for you," Belle told Rumple softly. "It's okay, you can do this." she then added before giving him a tender kiss on the lips.
Rumple smiled at that as he soon went over to the living room to see his eldest son. Belle and Ben then decided to clean up the dishes together as Neal was sitting on the couch after he rolled up the blanket he borrowed and looked around, wondering where to put his pillow.
"My boy." Rumple greeted softly.
"Hey, Papa." Neal replied, sounding just as if not more soft than his father.
"I was just wondering if we could talk a little bit?" Rumple offered.
"Uh, sure, where do you want this pillow? Ben just gave it to me last night." Neal nodded and then asked curiously.
"I'll take care of that, don't worry about it," Rumple said before he sat down in a chair next to the couch and looked Neal in the eyes. "Please sit." he then requested.
Neal glanced over and then set the pillow down and sat down on the couch right next to his father.
"Remember when you were small, there was a night, during The Ogre's War?" Rumple then began to say, smiling sadly at the memory. "There was a terrible noise. It was horses' hooves thundering down the dusty path. You crawled into my bed, and I can still hear your little voice. 'Papa, I'm afraid'."
Neal chuckled softly and nodded. "Yeah, and I remember that you said 'Don't you worry, son. Everything's gonna be fine'." he then memorized.
"You smiled at me... and I guess I said that out of instinct..." Rumple replied with a small smile as he thought back to the past. "You know, that was the happiest moment of my life because for the first time ever, I felt like a man, that I could truly look after you, alone. Until I discovered... this." he then added before he took out a certain dagger in his hands.
Neal looked briefly wide-eyed and concerned, but decided to let his father go on so he wouldn't cause any drama after just having a touching family moment the night before.
"It turned me into a monster, obsessed with power, when all I needed was you, your love. And now, through Belle and Benjamin, there's love in my life again," Rumple continued softly. "And once more, I've started it with a lie. Belle thinks she has the real dagger. I only lied to her in order to avenge your death. And now that I've done so, I really need the strength to give it back, be that man I should be, the man you died for. And I pledge, Baelfire, I will be that man. Your heroism... has shown me the way. I promise. I'll spend my life repaying you for that." he then added before putting his hand on Neal's shoulder.
Meanwhile, David, Mary Margaret, Emma, and Evie were walking down the street and had the baby with them in his stroller.
"I don't know. Maybe we should have gone with Baelfire." David said, making conversation as Emma was playing on her phone a little.
"She hasn't answered any of your calls?" Henry asked his birth mother.
"Uh, sorry, kid," Emma replied as she checked her phone. "Looks like Regina does not want to be disturbed."
"But that doesn't mean that she's... Doing anything..." Evie added, trying to help reassure Henry, though struggled to say the next word.
"Evil? I know," Henry finished with a guess and reassured them. "I just... Let me try calling her. Maybe, you know, it's you she doesn't want to hear from?" he then offered.
"Well, aren't you the favorite child?" Evie smirked playfully.
"Yes, I might be." Henry smirked back.
"You might have a point, kid." Emma admitted, allowing Henry to try to call Regina as she walked further ahead with Evie and Mary Margaret.
"I hope for his sake she doesn't give in to what she sometimes gives in to." Mary Margaret sighed as she pushed Baby Leo in his stroller.
"Seems to be handling it well." Emma shrugged at that.
"I mean, between losing and regaining his memories, seeing both of his moms with new men." Mary Margaret soon clarified.
"Oh, yeah, that's crazy to think about," Evie admitted. "It's new for me too, though I never met my father and I always felt weird around Graham because I knew he wasn't my dad."
"I guess that's just the teen angst building up after being under a Dark Curse for most of your life." Mary Margaret replied.
"Uh, speaking of that..." Emma paused nervously.
"He doesn't know about you and Captain Hook?" Evie asked Emma.
"There is no me and Hook." Emma countered.
"Hmm..." Evie and Mary Margaret both hummed and smirked at that.
"Okay, well, I don't know what there is, but I certainly can't talk to Henry if I don't know what I'm talking about." Emma then backed up.
"Swan?" A familiar voice called as he had a certain trio of teenagers with him.
"Speaking of..." Emma sighed at that.
"We'll try to give you guys some privacy." Evie offered.
"No, don't, come back!" Emma cried out before sighing as that was already done and soon, she was alone with the adult pirate along with his son while Carlos and Carla decided to see how Evie was doing.
"Mausoleum's all clear," Harry told Emma. "The Evil Queen isn't hiding there."
"Thanks." Emma replied without looking at him or his father.
"Swan, are you avoiding me?" Killian asked suspiciously.
Emma was about to say something until she saw Harry following her and Killian. "Will you give us a minute?" she then asked him.
"Anything you can say to my father you can say in front of me too." Harry retorted.
Emma sighed and groaned at that.
"He has his father's stubbornness," Killian advised Emma. "Trust me, I know."
Emma groaned at that before she decided to keep talking. "I'm not avoiding you. I'm just... Dealing with stuff. We have a crisis right now." she then explained wearily as they came to the corner of The Rabbit Hole where Jefferson appeared to be, offering some tea to people.
"There is always a crisis. Perhaps you should consider living your life during them," Killian remarked. "Otherwise, you might miss it."
"Aye." Harry agreed.
"We're under attack!" Leroy's voice called out, making Killian look a bit internally frustrated but it was very obvious on the outside too. "We're under attack!" he then repeated as he rushed over along with Doug, Ebony, Sleepy, and Dee Dee who was nearly flying in the air because Leroy had held her hand and pulled her with him so fast that her feet barely touched the ground.
"Okay, Leroy, what is it?" Emma asked the grumpy dwarf.
"We were just driving home, and something blasted me with magic." Leroy began to explain.
"Yeah! Uncle Leroy's van is iced over," Doug added urgently. "We woke up in a meat locker."
"Who's got that kind of magic?" Ebony wondered as she hugged her teenage son protectively, gently stroking his hair in comfort.
"Maybe the person who made that?" Emma suggested as she gestured to the icy path that was left on the road and somehow wasn't melting.
"Maybe it was The Snow King and Queen?" Dee Dee piped up.
Everyone then gave her a bit of a look.
"What? My story is The Nutcracker Prince and my mother was Clara and my father was that prince until Mama Nova and Papa Leroy adopted me," Dee Dee defended and explained. "We've met stranger characters before."
"I guess she's got a point, but this looks like a mystery that you need to solve, sister." Leroy suggested to Emma.
"I'll see what I can do." Emma sighed.
"And I'll help." Dee Dee decided.
"You?" Harry asked and scoffed.
Carlos and Carla glared at Harry for that and nudged both of his arms to show that that wasn't very nice.
"I mean, no offense, little lass, but what can you do to help?" Harry then asked once he realized how rude that sort of sounded.
"Well, I don't know, but The Nutcracker Prince is my favorite ballet even before Henry found out that it was my story and sometimes Clara and her prince meet Snowflake Fairies," Dee Dee offered. "I know it isn't much, but I want to help out."
"Hmm... maybe for a little bit at least." Emma suggested.
"Just stay close and make sure you don't wander off too far," Killian added, sounding a bit protective. "We don't wanna lose you, especially since your new father is the least friendly of the seven dwarves."
"I understand," Dee Dee nodded and bowed her head. "Just let me at least try."
"All right, kid, but remember to do exactly what we say." Emma told Dee Dee.
"Yes, ma'am, I will." Dee Dee vowed as maturely as possible.
And so, Emma, Killian, Harry, Evie, Carlos, and Carla tried to follow the ice tracks in the street before ending up in a warehouse. They all began to look around a bit to look for anything suspicious.
"Aren't you glad I came along now?" Harry smirked at Emma.
Emma just smirked back at him in silence.
"So, are you guys okay?" Evie asked Carlos and Carla. "I thought you'd be with Lotus."
"Oh, we all were, but Carlos had to take Dude out for a walk, so I joined him, and soon we ran into Captain Hook who was looking for Evie's mom," Carla explained. "Jay decided to stay behind with her. I think he really likes her like the mother he said he never had."
"Well, that's nice for him at least." Emma remarked.
"Yeah, it really is," Carlos nodded before sighing. "Now if we could only find out where we all came from and why."
"I'm sure your stories will all be told soon, they're coming little by little," Evie reassured the younger boy, acting like his big sister. "I mean the adults just got their memories back and now everyone is trying to find out what that means for us too since Ben found out he was the son of Belle and not just Rumplestiltskin."
"I hope we find out eventually," Carla sighed. I feel at home in Storybrooke, a lot more than Neverland, but I feel like I'm missing something important in my life."
"I feel it too, Carla," Carlos nodded as he reached out and went to take her hand in a friendly way. "Maybe it's around here somewhere or closer than we think."
Suddenly, there was a jolt of electricity between the two, almost like a spark suddenly blew up between them, but not in a romantic way, causing them both to yelp and jump back, though some white seemed to streak in their darkened hair somehow.
"Whoa!" Harry gasped as that startled him.
"You guys okay?" Evie asked the other two.
"Yeah, we're fine... Must've been a static shock or something..." Carlos replied sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.
Evie nodded until she took a long look at Carlos and Carla, feeling a strong similarity between the two of them which they didn't seem to have before. She wasn't sure what it was, but she could sense a closeness of some kind. However, everyone was pulled away from their thoughts as they heard snarling and growling which came from something that almost no one expected. They had been encountered by an evil, monster snowman of some kind.
"All right, that's a new one." Killian commented about the snowman monster.
"Frosty sure doesn't look like a jolly happy soul this time around." Carlos commented.
"Heh, yeah, really." Evie added nervously with wide eyes.
The snowman snarled and soon came out at them.
"Now, now, easy, no one wants to fight you." Dee Dee spoke up as she came over to the snowman.
"Look out, Pigtails." Killian warned Dee Dee.
"We just have to see what it wants," Dee Dee said. "Someone brought this snowman to us and we have to find out what they need or want from us."
The snowman soon approached Dee Dee curiously before suddenly growling and blowing the group away with super snowy breath. Emma yelped as she fell on Killian and her gun then shot and hit the snowman while everyone else hit the ground. Killian and Emma got up as the teenagers scrambled to get up as well while Evie made sure Dee Dee got out and wasn't terribly hurt. Unfortunately, Dee Dee wasn't able to help as this snowman was not from the same world that her birth parents had come from which was also far away from Misthaven.
Leroy soon came by and saw what the commotion was that was about to trouble the whole town. "EVIL SNOWMAN! RUN!" he then shouted out and took off with Dee Dee to save her.
The snowman roared and yelled before heading for the street as luckily everyone was able to avoid it.
"I think the noise is scaring it," Emma pointed out. "It's headed for the forest."
"Let it go." Carlos suggested.
"What?" Everyone else asked as they looked at him.
"Maybe we should just let it go, guys," Carlos shrugged. "I mean, it won't cause damage as long as it goes to what it needs in the forest, right?"
"Somehow I don't think it's gonna be that easy." Evie remarked.
"Nothing ever is, I swear." Carlos sighed at that.
Carla then put her hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him. As everyone else ran off to avoid the snowman, the mysterious woman wandered to herself until she picked up a newspaper that announced the wedding between Mr. Gold and Belle French and something about the picture really spoke to her, but no one knew or understood why just yet. In the meantime, the snowman continued to stomp around right into the forest, passing Regina's mausoleum. People screamed and scattered while trying to avoid the snowman unleashed into their world as Elsa hid into an alley to avoid the collisions until she saw Mr. Gold's pawnshop and decided to go into it as shelter and to also find a certain item.
"There's a monster on the loose!" Leroy shouted to everyone else. "A monster!"
Meanwhile, everyone else ran right for Robin Hood's camp as Elwin was hanging out with Lonnie until they saw everyone else coming.
"What is it?" Robin asked once he saw everyone else rushing over.
"Some kind of... Snow monster." David explained through panting.
"No monster shall cross our path," Mulan spoke up as she stepped forward with her warrior sword. "We'll give you our assist-" she then offered until they heard loud stomping and roaring in the distance.
"It's getting closer," Harry alerted as he stood by Carla protectively. "It's coming from the north."
The giant snowman then arrived, much to the worry and concern of everyone in the camp.
"There!" Little John pointed out as he and the other Merry Men soon took out their arrows while Mulan got her sword ready.
"Stay close behind me, little warrior." Mulan reminded her daughter.
"Yes, Mother." Lonnie nodded.
"No, no, no!" Evie cried out.
"Don't shoot!" Emma added.
"It only attacks when it feels threatened," Killian added. "Pistol, sword, hook, my cunning wit... I don't think we have what it takes." he then listed as examples.
"What're we supposed to do now?" Carlos wondered.
"Yeah, who's gonna help us if weapons won't?" Elwin added as he made sure Lonnie was safe.
"Emma will." David suddenly said.
"What?" Emma asked her father with wide eyes.
"Your magic, luv." Killian reminded the blonde woman.
"Hey, that's right," Evie agreed. "Emma, you have to at least try." she then suggested.
"Right..." Emma nodded.
"You can do this." Evie said with a small smile.
Emma smiled back, glad that Evie was the way she was and soon began to shoot the snowman with light magic. "Take that, Frosty!" she then yelled out.
The snowman snarled, hit by her magic, but seemed even more threatening and angry as spikes grew on its back. The teenagers groaned as they looked crestfallen about that.
"Really?" Emma complained.
The snowman then defeated the others and knocked them down. Marian soon found a bow and arrow and took them before she aimed to shoot the snowman monster. The snowman monster snarled at her before attacking and knocking her down. The snowman monster then began to try to stomp after Marian, going after her specifically.
"Strange... why does it want Marian specifically?" Elwin asked himself.
"I don't know and I'm not sure if I wanna know." Lonnie replied, though looked at her mother in concern.
Regina then suddenly came into the scene while Marian feared for her life.
"Please... Help me. Please." Marian begged.
Regina gave her a bit of a look and seemed to disappear suddenly as the snowman was about to stomp on Marian.
"No." Marian whispered and trembled as this looked like the end.
Marshmallow snarled as it was about to crush Marian until Regina appeared from behind and destroyed the snowman right away. The teenagers all relaxed and calmed down once they saw that which meant that they were all safe for another day and so were the adults involved.
"You saved me." Marian whispered.
Regina gave a small smirk at that, but didn't say anything as everyone began to wake up from the impact as all that was left of the snowman was a pile of useless snow and ice.
"Marian! Regina. Are you all right?" Robin asked his wife and the other woman he felt close with.
"Yes," Marian smiled at her husband before looking at Regina as everyone else recovered. "Maybe you're not a monster."
"Maybe I'm not," Regina replied as maturely as possible. "Welcome to Storybrooke, Marian."
"Regina, we've been trying to find you," Emma said, rushing to the dark-haired woman urgently, but she was already starting to walk away. "We need to talk about-"
Regina then suddenly poofed away without another word, much to the surprise and concern of everyone else.
"There she goes again, storming off." Carlos sighed.
"Is your mother avoiding us?" Carla asked Evie.
"I better go talk to her, this is mother/daughter time," Evie suggested. "I know where she is."
"You do?" Carlos and Carla both asked in surprise.
"Yeah, but I'm going alone, like I said, this is mother/daughter work." Evie replied before she poofed away after her mother.
Emma made a snowball in her hands from the aftermath of the snowman battle and soon tossed it out of her hands in frustration.
"So, crisis averted." Killian said as he approached the blonde woman.
Emma smirked at him and the two shared a brief embrace with each other. "Now you want to go home and see what's on Netflix?" she then offered kindly.
"I don't know what that is, but sure." Killian smirked warmly, eager to do anything to spend time with Emma.
Emma smirked back, though she still had a lot on her mind. "Killian, someone created that... Snowman. This isn't over." she then said to him softly.
"It never is," Killian admitted with a sigh. "All the more reason to enjoy the quiet moments, and right now... We have a quiet moment." he then added, trying to help her.
"I know," Emma nodded until she realized something. "I just gotta do something." she then added.
"Right. Of course. Go ahead," Killian nodded before smirking a bit playfully. "Don't tell me you're not avoiding me anymore because I'm actually quite perceptive, and this... This is avoiding me." he then added, gesturing to her a bit with his hook.
"No, I know. I am," Emma reassured him and explained. "I just feel... Right now, I just feel too guilty."
"Over Regina?" Killian guessed.
"She lost someone she really cares for because of me." Emma explained wearily.
"No, there's more to this than just Regina, isn't there?" Killian then guessed.
Emma looked at him lightly and then suddenly kissed him. "Be patient." she then added before walking off.
"I have all the time in the world." Killian reassured her until she was out of earshot and sighed to himself a little bit.
"Unless... Another monster appears and kills us." Harry said, suddenly right behind his father.
Killian jolted and then turned around to see his son right there.
"You like Miss Swan, don't you, Dad?" Harry asked curiously.
"We'll, uh, we'll talk about that later actually..." Killian replied bashfully as his son smirked at him. "What's with you?" he then asked, seeing his son's smirk. "You look like you got your hand caught in a giant pile of gold."
"I just wanted to see what my old man was up to since that giant snowman attack," Harry smirked. "I thought that snowmen were supposed to be jolly happy souls."
"Well, until today that was mostly true," Killian smirked back as he decided to bond with his son a bit. "Swan is going to show me something called Netflix."
"Oh... okay... I'll get out of the way." Harry said softly and looked away from his father a bit.
Killian looked soft. "Why don't you come with us?" he then asked.
"Huh? To this Netflix thing?" Harry asked his father curiously.
"Sure, I'm sure Swan won't mind it you come along," Killian replied. "Besides, a father and son need to bond at this age."
"But I don't know what to do." Harry frowned.
"Whatever do you mean?" Killian asked his son.
"I never caught a flix before, how do I keep it in the net?" Harry asked, sounding confused. "I mean... I don't wanna look like a fool since we used to catch fish all the time when I was younger."
"Ohhh..." Killian replied and chuckled once he realized his son's confusion. "I'm not sure what Netflix is myself, but I'm sure she'll explain it to us and you're coming because I want you there."
Harry beamed at that. "Thanks, Dad."
"Of course, my favorite little buccaneer." Killian smiled.
The father and son walked off together before Elwin watched them and sighed to himself, then looked over as Mulan and Lonnie began to bond as well as Robin, Marian, and Roland.
"Elwin?" Lonnie called. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, I just think I need to go home now." Elwin said.
"Are you sure?" Mulan asked. "We'd love it if you stayed."
"No, that's okay, I better going," Elwin replied as he headed off into town. "My mother's probably wondering where I am now."
Mulan and Lonnie looked a little soft and concerned about Elwin just taking off like that.
"What's gotten into him?" Mulan wondered.
"I'm not sure, but I hope he's okay," Lonnie replied softly. "I really care about Elwin and I know he cares about me too. I just don't know how to help right now."
"Well, sometimes people need some space before they can decide what they need for help," Mulan advised her daughter. "Give him some time and space right now and maybe he'll come to you, but if not, it doesn't hurt to use the direct approach."
"Okay, I guess I'll try that," Lonnie nodded. "I just wanna be a good friend to Elwin."
"You are, my little warrior," Mulan reassured with a small smile. "Just give him some time to decide what he needs."
"Okay." Lonnie smiled back before she hugged her mother.
Mulan hugged Lonnie right back and gently patted her daughter on the back.
Emma was shown to be in Regina's office, trying to open the door, but it was locked as Evie suddenly poofed over. "Whoa! Kid..." she then gasped since Evie just popped out of nowhere.
"Sorry for startling you, Emma, but I'm here to talk to my mother." Evie replied and explained.
"Yeah, me too, but she won't open the door," Emma replied. "I know she's in there because I can see that the light is on."
"Mommy? It's Evie..." Evie called as she came to the door and knocked on it.
However, Regina did not answer the door as she had a lot on her mind right now as she just shut everyone else out.
"Oh, Mom..." Evie sighed, but she decided to just talk anyway so not to disturb her mother's silence.
"Are you going in after her?" Emma asked.
"I would, but I can tell she wants to be alone, let me handle this," Evie said before she put her ear on the door and leaned closely against it so to try to comfort her mother who had some troubles right now. "Mom, we know you're in there. We can see that the light is on. I know this is all... Complicated, but you can have happiness. I know it doesn't seem like it, but you just have to fight." she then said.
Regina still refused to open the door as she continued to shut everyone else out.
"Okay, if you won't, I will," Evie then said. "I might not know what I get from my father, but you're my mother and I know I have your stubbornness, so I'm going to keep trying until you let me in so we can talk and I, for one, do not think you're a monster, whether you're The Evil Queen or not, because you're my mother and I love you and we all love you too. Henry and I brought Emma to Storybrooke to bring back the happy endings. Her job's not done until she does that for everyone, including you."
Emma cracked a small smile at that. Evie smiled back, but the door still didn't open. The two of them just decided not to pry and decided to leave Regina alone with her thoughts as they knew that this was going to take some time.
"Harry Hook is the next Captain Hook, Lonnie is the next Warrior of Northern Wei, Evie is the next Evil Queen, Ben is the next Beast... who am I and what am I meant to do with my life besides scoop ice cream?" Elwin sighed to himself as he looked a little depressed as he went back into town, passing by the pawnshop as it started to get dark.
However, unknown to him, a certain woman had appeared there as she was able to unlock the door with her special powers and stumble inside said pawnshop. She checked the newspaper, looking at a charm on the front page that featured Ben's parents until he found the charm in the shop and headed right for it and picked it up out of determination. "Don't worry, Anna. I will find you," she then whispered to herself and she wandered out onto the streets of Storybrooke, glancing at the passing cars before she approached the town line which was forbidden to go across because it would cost one their memories, but she had something better in mind. "Until we're together, no one leaves this town," she said before she used her powers and created a giant ice wall that grew at the border of Storybrooke to prevent any escapes. "Anna, I will find out what happened to you." she then vowed as she ventured off into the night, again, without being seen by anyone.
