ONE


^^April's POV^^


I was walking down the street after getting coffee's for me and Regina, when I saw this big purple cloud that was engulfing the whole town. I was confused about what was going on, and I was even more confused when it just disappeared and I saw that everyone in town was hugging and laughing even the people that wouldn't usually talk; were talking. 


I kept walking around trying to figure out what had happened but nothing came to mind. Then I saw a group of people standing outside Granny's diner, they were all happy. Mary Margaret and David were hugging Emma and Henry I didn't know why. As they broke apart Henry looked behind him at me with I smile on his face, "April," he yelled as he ran towards me. I dropped the coffee's and I grasp him in my arms he was laughing, as we drew apart I said, "Henry should you really be walking around this soon after being in the hospital." 


"I'm fine, really we finally did it, we broke the curse," Henry said to me. "Henry," I said bending down to his level, "curses aren't real, fairytales are made up stories for children's imaginations." "No, they are real and Emma broke the curse just like she was supposed to do," he said to me.


"He's telling the truth," Mary Margaret said as the whole group made their way to us. "The story book, the curse, everything, he was telling the truth," David added on. "I didn't believe at first but now I do, I am the child from the end of the story, well at least one of them" Emma said. 


"But the thing is I don't remember you from the Enchanted Forest," Leroy said to me. That got everyone to look at me funny as if they had ever met me before. We were all walking down the street as Mary Margaret was trying to talk to about her being her daughter and her life before all this but Emma just said the she wanted to talk to Gold and what he did to this town. But Mary Margaret kept persisting that they talk about it. Then Emma stopped the whole group in the middle of the street and said, "Yeah, so have I, I've thought about this moment my entire life. I've imagined who you might be. But of all the scenarios that I concocted, my parents being I-I just need a little time, that's-- that's all."


"Snow," was all David said before we saw an angry mob running by when Archie ran to us and said, "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 gonna kill her."


"Great. Let's Watch," Leroy said from the back of the group. "Wow, back it up there a minute. You can't just kill someone, I know what Regina's like better than anybody, but that doesn't give anyone the right to kill her, she is still the mayor, after all," I said. 


"April's right, we cannot stoop to her level. No matter who she is or what's she's done, killing her is wrong," Archie said agreeing with me. "They're right. Please. She's still my mom," Henry said looking towards Emma, then she looked at Mary Margaret and said, "We have to stop them."


"If the Blue Fairy is right and magic is here, Regina could have her powers back. They could be marching into a slaughter," was all David said before David and Mary Margaret looked at one another before the only group took off, and I was left standing in the middle of the road watching them before running after them my self.


When I had gotten to Regina's, everyone was crowding around watching as David and Dr. Whale were having a stare down. I had only heard the ending before Snow stepped forward and said, "And Regina's death won't provide any answers. She needs to be locked up for her safety and more importantly, for ours," as Regina had a smirk on her face.



When we got to the Sheriff station, David, Mary Margaret, Emma and Henry took Regina to the cells and closed the door on her, "So I'm a prisoner, now," Regina said as she turned around to face him. "If the curse is broken, why didn't we go back?" David asked her. "Because there'e nothing to go back to. That land is gone," Regina answered him. "We should get to Gold," Mary Margaret said as she looked from Regina to David. And we all walked out of the Sheriff's station without another word.



^^David's POV^^


When we left the station April had gone her separate where saying that she  needed time to think. Afterwards we had given Henry to Ruby so that Henry wold be safe while we talked to Gold. I noticed Snow looking at Emma as if she wanted to say something, Don't push it, Snow," I said. "I won't," was all she said back as Emma made her way to us. "You guys ready?" Emma asked us but Snow had quickly said, "We need to talk." 


"I--Well, I don't--I just-- I don't want to talk," Emma said back to her. "Well, I do. Okay, Gold can wait. I can't. And you're my daughter, and I want to talk to you. I know that we have talked, but we didn't know that we were talking, and we talked about things we probably shouldn't have even talked about-- one-night stands and the like," Snow said. "One-night stands?" I had asked her. "Whale," she answered. "Whale?" I said trying to see if I had heard right. 


"We were cursed. That is neither here nor there. The point is, we did not know that we were mother and daughter," she said and I was still trying to understand what she had just told me, "And now we do, and so please, let's talk."


"Okay. What do you want to talk about?" Emma had asked. "We're together finally, at least most of us are, and I can't help but think you're not happy about it," Snow had answered her. "Oh, I am, but see here's the thing. No matter what the circumstances, for 28 years, I only knew one thing-- that my parents sent me away," Emma had said. 


"We did that to give you your best chance," Snow said trying to make it better. "You did it for everyone because that's who you are-- leaders, heroes, princes and princesses," Emma said as both me and Snow looked her, "and that's great and-- and amazing and wonderful, but it doesn't change the fact that for my entire life I've been alone."


"But if we hadn't sent you away, you would've been cursed, too," Snow said trying to make the whole situation better. "But we would've been together. Which curse is worse?," Emma said finally trying to get her point across and Snow finally realizing that, "Come on. Let's-- Let's go find Gold." Emma walked away from us and when she did I moved my hand closer and grabbed Snow's hand as we watched her walk away.



^^David's POV^^


As we entered Gold's shop he was pouring water into a teapot, "What can I do for you?" he asked closing the teapot lid. "What you can do is tell us what you did?" Emma asked him back. "I'm sorry. You're gonna have to be more specific," he answered her.


"You know damn well what we're talking about," I said angrily at him. "You double-crossed Emma, you, uh, took your potion from her," Snow added on to what I said, as I continued on the speech, "And did who knows what to this town." "And worst of all you risked Henry's life," Emma said continuing on.


"Well, that is quite a litany of grievances, now isn't it?," Gold had said. "Maybe I don't need answers maybe I just need to punch you in the face," Emma said angrily at him. "Oh," as he laughs, "really, dearie?" he asked as he made his way around the counter, "Allow me to answer your questions with some of my own. All right? Did your dear boy Henry survive?" he asked. "Yeah," Emma answered him. "Is the curse broken? And let's see, uh, Ms. Swan, How long have you been searching for your parents? Looks like you're reunited. Well, most of you anyway. Seems like rather a punch in the face, I deserve a thank-you," he said. "Twist my words all you want. What was the purple haze that you bought to Storybrooke?"


"You know, Magic," Gold said. "Why?" Snow asked as we were stunned to hear that. "Not telling," was all Gold said right before the rumbling that shook the whole town, car alarms going off in the distance alarmed us that is was nothing good. "What the hell was that?" Emma said as me and Snow made my way to the door to see what was going on. We could hear hear roaring as we got to the door, "That is my gift to you. That is gonna take care of Regina," was what Gold said to Emma as me and Snow were still looking out the window to see if we could find what was making such a mess outside as the rumbling continued. 


"Emma, come one," Snow said still at the door as I made my way towards Gold and Emma to get her to come with us. "We need to go take care of this," I said. "We're not done," Emma said still looking at Gold. "Oh, I know. You still owe me a favor," Gold said as Emma turned and made it to the door and walked out with us as I shut the door behind us.



^^April's POV^^


It was after the storm was over that I went outside to see the damage that was done, when I saw David and Henry walked towards me probably going to Mary Margaret's loft that was behind me. "David, what's going on? What happened?" I asked him when they got closer towards me. "A storm that's all you have to worry about, April," David said as he and Henry were about to walk away from me. "Where's Emma and Mary Margaret?" I said him and he stopped in his way before turning around, "And why do you have Henry, does Regina know about this?" 


"Yes, she does and Emma and Sn- Mary Margaret are gone for now but we're gonna bring them back somewhere, somehow we will bring them back," David said and with that he turned back around with Henry and continued on there way. I stood outside for a few more minutes just thinking about what kind of storm could do this much damage, but none came to mind, I could only hope that, that storm was just a once in a life time storm. And with that I went inside my apartment and went to bed not knowing what was gonna happen tomorrow but after that storm I knew it was gonna be good.
