Back again
bluerose921 asked for a oneshot of Emma waking up in the Enchanted Forest after being shot. This will be the last oneshot in this series I will write :).
"She's waking up." Emma heard someone say. Her hearing was muffled like she had been asleep for a long time. She could feel hands on her stomach, and it hurt like Hell. She found herself unable to move quickly. There was something tightly pressed against her abdomen, wrapped right around her middle. Her eyes opened slowly, and blurry visions appeared. She recognised two of the faces immediately- Mulan and Aurora. There was a man there too, Emma guessed he was Philip, Aurora's prince. Aurora smiled at her.
"It's nice to see you again Emma." She greeted her. "Although I wish it was under better circumstances. We found you lying here with this strange wound in your side a couple of days ago. It's like an arrow wound but smaller..."
"I've been shot with a gun." Emma said through gritted teeth as she sat up. "It is like an arrow but with more power. I fell through another damn portal. I need to get home. My family, they probably think I'm dead." Emma said, all three could hear how deflated she sounded. Philip helped the stranger up.
"Well my wife tells me you were a great help to her and Mulan during your first time in the Enchanted Forest..."
"Second technically." Emma corrected him. "I was born here. Snow White and David's daughter. Though you would know him as James." Philip smiled, he had met Snow White and James at a couple of royal events. He could see their likeness in Emma.
"Well, you were a great help during your second time here then. As such, I believe we certainly owe you. So we shall not rest until you are returned safely to your loved ones. Do you feel able to ride?" He asked her. Emma forgot- no cars here. It was either walking or horseback. She felt like crap but if it meant getting home quicker she'd take the stupid horse." She nodded.
"Excellent, you can ride with Mulan. We know of a few people who might be able to aid us in our new quest." Mulan helped the still clearly injured Emma onto the horse before getting up in front of her. Emma felt like she still might pass out from the pain but she ignored it. She wouldn't waste another precious second. She wasn't being separated from them again.
