Emma:

Henry sits next to me, jabbering on about some guy he ran into.

"And he had a hook and he was kinda scary and he was really cool and he had a scar and he smelled nice,  like the ocean and..." He droned on, not noticing my disinterest in the subject. I pull up in front of the school, happy to finally have some silence.

"Don't be late kid!" I scream at him. He smiles before running inside. I drive off, work awaits. You'd think the sheriff might be a bit more busy, seeing as there's a couple of villains in town, but Regina has turned over a new leaf and gold... Well who knows. Luckily Belle keeps him out of trouble. I pull into a parking spot and hop out of my car, locking it before hustling inside. Out of the corner of my eye I spot a man with a hook talking to Belle. I pause. Her face is red, and she appears to be crying, while he looks mad. He pulls her into a hug, before she pulls away quickly and runs off. I turn, it's none of my business.

"Good morning Miss Swan." Regina greets me with coffee from Granny's.

"Morning Regina." I take the coffee from her outstretched hand.

"I was wondering if-" I cut her off.

"You can have Henry for the weekend." She nods as I finish for her.

"Yes. I understand if you say-"

"Yes. Please. I need some time. To think."

"Thank you."

I nod before pushing past her, grabbing a newspaper to check for listings.

"Miss Swan, are you alright?" She questions.

"No Regina. I'm not." I gesture to a chair.

"No. Why not discuss this in my office." She tugs on my sleeve. I follow her.

"Well," I start before sitting on the couch, "My parents want me to get my own place. And I have no clue where to look."

"Well, I heard that someone just put their house up for sale."

"Wow. Well thanks I-" my phone rings Just then. I answer it as I leave Regina's office.

"Hello?"

"Hi Emma, can you come down to the library?"

"Sure uh who is this?" I ask.

"Names Killian. Now hurry." The line goes dead.

Killian:

I hang up on Emma, and reach out to Belle.

"Belle it's alright. Emma's on her way. Who is she anyway?" I glance around the ruined library. Books are scattered across the floor with a note written on the wall threatening her life.

"She's a friend. And apparently my daughter in law. She's Neal's ex. Henry is his child."

I look at the note again. I'll be back for Belle. It reads. The library door opens and a woman with blonde hair and a bright red leather jacket steps in. She's breath taking. I turn to face her.

"Sheriff." I say. She nods and looks at Belle.

"You alright Belle?" Her voice is warm, but has a sharp edge. Belle nods. A puff of smoke fills the air. The crocodile sweeps Belle up into his arms.

"BELLE."

"Rumple!" She holds him close. Like I with my Mila. I turn to look at this Emma woman.

"What happened here?" She asks me. But I don't really hear her. I'm too busy looking at her eyes. Green. Like the enchanted forest. Green. Like an emerald. Like the emerald on the ring I gave to Mila. But this woman... This woman is no Mila.
