"So why is everyone so afraid of this giant at the top?" Emma asked as they walked closer to the beanstalk.

"Well the fact that all the other giants were killed and the one giant who lives hates humans and not even Jack the Giant Killer could stop him, I think anyone would afraid."

"Jack the Giant Killer, of course." Emma mumbled under her breath.

"You've heard of him too?" Hook asked as he turned around.

"Of course I have but I'm going to assume the tale is not what I heard when I was younger."

"That depends, what happened in this tale?"

"Something about beans, a giant, a guy goes up to steal gold and something about a harp?" She guessed, shrugging, "I don't remember I never did like the fairytale, it was too unrealistic." She said, "then again, considering how my parents met Snow White isn't the most truthful tale ever."

"You're right sweetheart, I mean before you came to storybrooke or even believed you wouldn't know that the way your father and I met was during a robbery and I hit him with a rock." Snow said as she came up to Emma and Hook.

"No, nor did I know that the way I'd be transported to this world was through a magical tree." Emma agreed, "still trying to get over that fact you know."

"I know, that's why I'm letting you get used to it and not pushing you." Snow said, smiling at her daughter.

"The tale is much more gruesome that you heard when you were a girl, but then most tales are. Believe it or not I was once a lad and the tales my father used to tell me... Well let's just say I found out how gruesome they actually were, when I learned about mermaids." Hook said.

"Please don't start on mermaids I'm still trying to get over that Captain Hook — I mean you — exists, it's weird. Though I wish you were like they portrayed you in the cartoon." She said muttering the last bit, rolling her eyes.

"I thought you said they didn't capture my devilishly handsome looks?" Hook asked.

"Exactly, which is why I wish you would look more like the cartoon and let Peter Pan be the good guy." She said, "it was the only fairytale I understood as a child, the only one I connected with."

"I'm guessing because of the children who never wanted to grow up and a boy comes and takes them away where they don't have to listen to grown ups?" Snow asked, Emma just nodded.

"Because just like always my childhood was shit, I hated my foster homes," she muttered, "running away was the best option for me." She admitted.

"I did that when I was running from Regina, it's the only thing I could do." Snow said, "I ruined her life after all."

"What did you do?" Hook asked, intrigued.

"When you know the evil queen and you know her step daughter, you're working with Cora, or rather were working with her. I'm the reason why Cora ripped out Daniel's — the stable boy's — heart and killed him.

"Ah yes, I heard about that, not long ago, though I wasn't exactly listening to the whole tale." He said.

Emma sighed, "so are we going to up the beanstalk or what?" She asked,

"Yes, well there is a slight problem, I need someone to join me and the only way we can get up there is to wear this," he showed both snow and Emma a bracelet, "since the beanstalk has a spell that stops intruders the only way to not be affected by it, is to wear the bracelet." He said as Aurora and Mulan finally caught up.

After a lot of fighting, Emma was convinced she was going and Snow wasn't going to back down because there would be no point.

"Jus be careful honey." Snow said, "did you find out where you knew him from, as in his face?"

"You were right, it was a dream. It was when I went to Neverland in my dream somehow and I watched him and his brother Liam, I watched his brother Liam poison himself and then get healed, I tried calling out but it was as if I wasn't really there. There wasn't anything I could do, then the day after because I was screaming in my sleep I got kicked out my foster home and sent to a new one, again." Emma said, "I need to go, I need to get the compass so I can see my son again."

And with that she started climbing up the beanstalk with him.
