He remembers

A guest asked for a oneshot of when August is turned back into a child he does remember Tamara and what she done. Tamara attempts to take Emma to Neverland.

Emma bent down in front of the little red headed boy. She tried to push the fact that just a few seconds ago he'd been the fully grown man August to the back of her mind. She had to get this information.

"Pinocchio, I have to ask you a question." She said gently. "I need you to think real hard, ok? Before you turned into a little boy, you were trying to tell us something very important- do you remember?" Emma could see he was thinking hard. She wanted to help him. "You were trying to warn us about something." Emma saw something change in his facial expression. She knew that was it- she'd triggered it. He suddenly turned and pointed at Tamara.

"Her!" Pinocchio shouted. "She's evil! She knows magic is real and that everyone here is from the Enchanted Forest. She's up to something very very nasty!" Everyone turned and stared at Tamara completely shocked. Well, all except Emma and Henry who had suspected her already. She sighed loudly.

"Well, I guess this is going to have to be done the hard way." Suddenly, she lunged forward and grabbed Emma, quickly having her with a knife to her throat. "Nobody move!" Tamara ordered. "Or I kill her here and now."

"Please." Geppetto begged. "Don't hurt the girl. She's had a hard enough already because of me."

"Oh please, spare me the self pity." Tamara spat. "Her life isn't about to get any easier. She's coming to Neverland with me. Anyone tries to stop me and I will slit her throat."

"That's your mistake." Emma said through gritted teeth. Snow and Charming were willing her to stay quiet just now. They didn't want Emma putting herself in anymore danger than she was already in. They were trying to work out a way to get her away from Tamara unharmed.

"Oh enlighten me, what is?" Tamara droned.

"If you're taking me to Neverland, you need me. You can't kill me if you need me." Emma pointed out. Everyone else saw the flicker of panic in Tamara's eyes. That's when they knew Emma was right.

"Get her!" Snow yelled. Tamara tried to flea with Emma, but there was no way Snow and Charming were letting her away with their daughter. They overpowered her easily. Neal wrenched her from Tamara's arms and pulled her into a tight hug whilst Snow and Charming made sure Tamara was secured.

"Listen to me very carefully," Snow snarled, grabbing Tamara by the hair "if you ever try that again we won't just throw you in a jail cell, we'll kill you." She warned. Charming yanked her to her feet much harder than was necessary.

"We are the wrong parents to mess with." He added to Snow's warning. Tamara struggled against his hold, but there was no way Charming was letting her go. Just as they were about to take her away, Jiminy was crossing the group. He saw the little boy and nearly fell backwards.

"P-Pinocchio?" He stammered, surprised. Pinocchio stared at the strange man, not recognising him. Snow smiled, despite what might have happened this was still a beautiful moment of reunion. Yes, Snow and Charming deeply wished it could have been them getting a second chance with their daughter. And of course that she hadn't nearly been sliced by Tamara, but they were grateful she was at least safe now. Charming also wished she currently wasn't in the arms of him… but we can't have everything.
