A/N: Trigger Warning: Blood and Major Character Death


Chapter 1: Something Moved

In the mayoral manor, Henry was on the couch watching TV and eating popcorn. He moped around in the house since his birthmother's disappearance. He cried in his bed every night when he needed her badly and found a solace in his adoptive mother's arms on his bed every night. He won't let her go at once and wanted her to stay with him until they find Emma. He knew that he had to do something to rescue her from the chaos. Until, something moved from his eyes and he turned around then gaped in awe. He dropped the bowl into a shattered pieces of the glass on the floor.

Emma appeared in her ghost, waved her hand and smiled. Henry stood still and stared at her like he saw a ghost. How can it been for him to see her. Emma tilted her head and strode toward him until they stood to face each other. Henry reached his hand on her shoulder but it went through the air. He gasped loudly and looked at her. The desperate but sadness in her emerald eyes were in pain for him to see.

"Hi kid." Emma smiled sadly. He shook his head and blinked several times then finally saw his birthmother in her spirit.

"Emma, what are you? But how?" He stuttered.

"Before you freak out, I will explain everything about me so you have to find your mom for me then get her here." She said. He nodded then paused to run toward his mother and spoke up, "Will you be here?" Emma chuckled and nodded. He got his confirmation then ran for his life to get his mom from Town Hall. Emma sighed and walked around inside the manor for while until they got back soon.

Henry went rage by his running toward the Town Hall. Finally, he barged into the office and saw his mother startled. He breathed hard and told her everything. Regina gaped in shock and went with him in 5 minutes flat to get home.


Emma heard the car and waited in the living room. Henry got out and tugged Regina to come into the living room. Emma turned and looked at Regina. He smiled sheepishly. Regina nearly fainted when she saw her love of the life standing there like a ghost.

"Em- Emma?" Regina whispered. Emma nodded. Henry felt sad about her spirit.

"Mom, I told you. She is here." Henry looked at his mom.

"How?" A brunette woman replied.

"Regina, I don't know how but I found myself to be a ghost."

"But you are alive, Emma."

"Mom, you go ahead to touch her."

"Ok." Regina walked toward and touched her but it went through the air. She gaped in the shock.

"Emma, you are a ghost."

"Yes Regina. I am."

"How?"

"Stop saying how! I'm confused with myself but I just found out that I died." Emma frowned.

"Ma, you – died?" Henry stuttered. Regina was in shock when Emma said it.

"Emma, how can we see you as a ghost?" Regina asked.

"I don't know. I already tested on my parents and they can't see me at all. Even Ruby." Emma said.

"Ma. Did you go to Mr. Gold?" Henry nervously asked. Emma shook her head.

Regina went to sit down for few minutes and felt like she was dreaming but it was not. Emma waited. Henry went to comfort her.

"You both have to find a truth about how it happened to me." Emma begged.

Both mother and son nodded. Emma smiled and told them that she will guide them to the destination where she died.


In a couple hours later, Regina and Henry stopped by the old cabin. Emma appeared again and smiled sadly. The Mills got out and walked toward the door. Until the blonde stopped them from coming in the cabin. She decided to explain her situation.

"Regina and Henry, you have to be patient with me but it was awful inside there. I don't want you to freak out on the smell or blood."

"Oh… I think I am staying here and Mom, you go." Henry scrunched his nose. Regina and Emma nodded.

Regina went inside and looked around inside the cabin until she stepped on the pool of blood on her heels. She looked down and held her hand on her mouth when she saw her body lying down and the blood on the floor. She was crying and ran outside toward her car. Henry went after her and comforted her. She wrapped herself in a ball and cried. Emma watched them in silence.

They speak no words. The silence were still in air. They were in their thoughts by no words. They actually felt sad. The sunset came down and they decided to take care of everything for Emma to be buried and planned to tell everyone in the town. Henry saw her body and blood then helped his mom to carry a body to the car for hospital morgue. Emma just stood and vanished in the air until they will see each other again.
