There Once was a Princess... (Hook x Reader)

Chapter 25

(The Blanchard/ Nolan Loft)

You and Emma are at your parent's apartment and the two of you are telling Mary Margaret about yall's hunch.

"I'm telling you. Tamara is the "she" August was trying to warn us about" Emma blurts

"Emma! Shhhhh!" Mary Margaret Scolds

"What? Don't "Emma" me."

Mary Margaret lowers her voice to a whisper,

"Henry is upstairs. Look, I know this has been hard for you."

"No. This isn't about me. This is about August. He died trying to warn us about someone. A woman. "She". Tamara has a list of people who live her, what their fairytale names are."

~Wait what? She does? I kinda zoned out when Emma was talking to Neal earlier, so she could've mentioned it, but I wasn't paying attention.~

"Wait what? She does? I didn't hear about this?" you interject

"Yea, she dropped it when I bumped into her this morning."

"Ok... that's creepo... that just made me even more suspicious of her than I already was."

"You too? Really (y/n)? You're encouraging this?" Mary Margaret asks you

"Why are you talking like she's a toddler? What do you mean "encouraging her"? And first of all. I made my own assumption about her sneaky ass on my own and didn't even tell Emma."

"and why are you suspicious of her?"

"It rubbed me the wrong way the fact that she wasn't with Neal when he came to see August before he died... she just showed up there out of nowhere..."

"See? So, this is not about me and Neal, doesn't all of this worry you?" Emma questions Mary Margaret

"There could be a million explanations for what you both saw." She argues

~sure, and most of them end with her messing crap up.~

"We don't know anything about her." Emma comments, "and she lied to me. when she said I could trust her, she lied." Emphasizing "lied"

"Your "superpower" has been known to be unreliable, Emma. Especially when you're emotional."

"For the last time, I don't have feelings for Neal! That was over a decade ago! I'm over it!"

~Bullshit~

"Well, that may be. But if you tell Henry that you think his dad's fiancée may be up to something, then Henry's gonna think that there's a chance his parents could get back together. So, keep it to yourself. Please. Till you know something more." Mary Margaret tells her as she puts on her scarf and leaves the apartment. Now it's just you and Emma

"So... we're back in business? I heard everything" and apparently Henry too. Emma seems just as shocked as you are,

"I thought you were in the shower."

"Exactly" Henry smirks, "Operation Cobras back on. We're investigating Tamara, right?"

Something clicks in Emma's brain,

"Get your coat." She commands Henry.

"What am I? I know I'm ugly, but I'm not invisible, jeez." You laugh.

"I thought you were already onboard, lets go!" Emma laughs too.
