"She did it, she saved you" Henry said delightedly.

"She saved all of us" Mary Margaret replied.

"Sorry to ruin the moment" I said and everyone turned to look at me. I could see that Snow and Charming didn't have a clue who I was, something which I was thankful for. If they found I was basically a pirate I would be killed. Or back home I would have been anyway. "But if we're all saved then why aren't we back home?" I asked and seven dwarfs all nodded in agreement.

"Good question..." David said and drifted off when he didn't know my name.

"Anna is still fine" I said with a shrug, it wasn't that far off my real name. He nodded satisfied with my answer and turned around to talk to Snow and Emma only to be bombarded with questions from the dwarfs.

"It was magic" Mother Superior said joining the group. "It's here, I can feel it" she told us and I shivered. Magic always, always came with a price.

"Magic? Here in Storybrooke? Your the blue fairy, do something magical" he said and she shook her head.

"It's not quite that simple, Henry. No wand, no fairy dust... Matters are complicated, now" she told him and he pulled a disappointed face but nodded all the same.

" Let's go to the person responsible for bringing it – the Queen" Leroy, one of the dwarfs said.

"No. Wait" Emma said and looked around the street "It wasn't Regina" she said and we all frowned but followed her lead.

Jefferson let me stay with him in his home and together we did our best to find his daughter, Grace. But we never found her. Jefferson tried to help me find Killian but that never happened either. We would have continued to look but a curse, sent by an Evil Queen that went by the name of Regina, put a stop to our plans. We where unable to stop the curse from coming and no one else was going to. So Jefferson and I stayed in the small house that we shared and waited for the inevitable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emma had decided that it was Mr. Gold, or Rumpelstiltskin that had cast the haze bringing magic back so we were all now headed to his shop at the far end of the street. I hung at the back not wanting to be too involved, after all, I was a pirate (or the girlfriend of one at least) and I didn't really know these people now. Everything had changed and my world was miles away from theirs. But they were the good guys and it would be safer to stay with them rather than anyone else. Killian was always the more rebellious of the to us. As we walked a low hum came from a couple of streets away, we stopped and waited as the hum grew louder and louder. hen as we watched a large crowd, yelling a screaming for Regina's head came marching across the street in front of us. Archie ran over from the group and looked fearful.

"There you are. Come with me. I need your help. Dr. Whale's whipped everyone into a frenzy. They're going to Regina's house. They're going to kill her!" he explained and everyone, particularly Henry, wore a look of fear.

"Great lets watch" Leroy said with a grumble.

"No. No, we cannot stoop to her level. No matter who she is or what she's done, killing her is wrong" Archie protested and I pushed my way forwards through the dwarfs to look and Snow and Charming.

"Look, I know you don't know me" I began and Mary Margaret made to speak and I cut her off "The real me" I corrected "But I have seen what mobs like this can do and it's not pretty. After all that she did to us, all the pain that she put us through, this is not the way to fix the problem. We have to help her. Trust me" I said and I was actually surprised at myself, my confidence was very rarely this high. I was a shy and gentle pirate and I was trying to make Killian a little less blood thrust but it was going well from what I could remember. I wondered if he had changed.

"Anna's right" Henry said coming to my side "Please, she's still my mum" he said. Emma nodded.

"We have to save her" she said.

"If the Blue Fairy is right and magic is here, Regina could have her powers back. They'll be marching into a slaughter" David said and we all nodded running after the mob towards Regina's house.

We reached Regina's house long after the mob and Doctor Whale was pinning Regina to a pillar as the crowd cheered him on. Emma pushed her way through the crowd and pulled Whale off Regina shouting "Let her go!" all the while.

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Because I am still Sheriff"

"And because she saved you. All of you!" David added.

"And because no matter what Regina did, it does not justify this" Mary Margaret chimed in.

"We are not murderers here" Emma finished.

" Well, we're not from this world" Whale snapped and I rolled my eyes pushing my way over Emma. I marched right over to the doctor and slapped him in the face. Everyone became silent.

"Grow up man" I almost growled at him and he shrunk back a little. "We are not at home anymore, we are not in a world we know anymore. I have been to many world that I have not known" I said thinking about each time I was killed and had to leave Killian. "And in each world you have to learn and grow, learn to understand that worlds way and grow used them. This is not how we should let this new world see us" I said and pointed at Regina. "No matter what she had done, how awful or evil even. How long you have been separated from you loved ones, and believe me I know that pain. But by killing her you will take away someone else loved one" I said and reached a hand out the Henry who took and and stood at my side. "There are better ways to do this" I finished. There was a moment silence until David spoke up

"She needs to be locked up" he said.

"For her safety or ours?"I muttered "I'll be at the beach if you want me, Henry" I said and paused.

"Can I come with you?" he asked and I smiled.

"Sure" I looked to Emma who nodded.

"Keep him safe" she said<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Always" I said and she nodded and Henry and I left Emma and her parents to deal with the situation while we went to the beach.
