Survivors (Captain Swan)

6 ; Boston

Three days had now passed. Emma was back in Boston and in the appartment she before Henry came back into her life. She never thought she would go back there, but as she was driving through Boston after the incident and passed next to the building, she decided to stop there. Luck, maybe, but the appartment was for renting or sale. Emma decided to stay there and even if it did bring some painful memories, she at least had a little feeling of being home. She was missing her real home. Emma kept hearing Neal's words in her head : " Home is the place that when you leave it, you miss it ".

Emma was coming back of the nearest police station, where she used to work before she even knew Storybrooke existed. They'd accepted that Emma could work there until she could come back. If course, she had told a lie about why she was back in Boston because she obviously could not talk to her old collegues about fairytales characters being real, having Snow White and Prince Charming as parents and Captain Hook as a boyfriend. She needed that work because she didn't know the time it would take before she coule get back home and she needed money to live, like everyone.

The streets were calm that night. A few people were walking around, the sky was dark and the temperature was not so cold. Emma was walking with her headphones in her ears, listening to the music on Henry's IPod that he had left in her car before the incident. Listening to his music was her way of feeling closer to her son.

She quicly arrived to her appartment. She just had the time to take off her jacket before someone knocked at her door. It was a man from the post office with a box. Probably what her family sent her ; her clothes, shoes, etc.

" Emma Swan ? " the man asked.

" Yes "

" I just need you to sign here " he said.

Emma took the paper and quickly wrote her name. She dragged the box in her appartment as the man left. Emma closed the door and sighted, then took the box to her living room and opened it with cisors. She took of the clothes out, one by one and emptied the box, or almost. She found a few papers still left. Intrigued, she took them. She sat at the kitchen counter, right where she had blown her candles for her 28th birthday and unfolded the papers. A few pictures were hidden there. One of her and her parents, another one with Henry and even some with Regina and Killian. She put them aside, with a little smile and read the papers.

" Hi mom !
I just really wanted to tell you I miss you. I know I can call but it's not the same without you. I hope we'll find the solution fast because you need to come back home.
I don't know when you'll recieve the letter but even if it's been a day or a week, I'll miss you soo much. I also miss your pancakes. Don't tell it to grandma, but yours are better than hers ;)
I will see you soon,
Henry "

A tear rolled on her cheeks and fell on the paper. She took a deep breath and looked at the other one, but when she say that it was signed by Killian she put it aside. She didn't have the energy to read it. She was tired and not even over Henry's few words, so she was worried of what state she would end up if she read her love's letter. She would wait until the next morning, or maybe in a few days on her birthday. She could keep it as a birthday gift, so she would not feel lonely on her birthday, again.

She took the pictures and the letters and got up. She grabbed a pyjama and went to her room to change, then lied under the sheets. She hold the picture of Henry, Mary Margaret, David, Hook amd her in her hands and let her tears fall as she tried to sleep. Still holding a memory in her hand, she fell into this world of dreams, but it turned out bad again. Even if she wasn't in the magical town anymore, the nightmare didn't go away. She was starting to get more and more fearful, afraid it would become reality. She was already away from her loved ones, she couldn't imagine losing him.
