Only Her: OUAT/Killian Jones

The Evil Queen

The twins had an issue. Well, they had quite a few issues, but this one the both of them couldn't shake from their minds. Mary Margaret and David had shown Emma the bean crop that Anton had created while she was in New York, and told her about how they wanted to go back to the Enchanted Forest. Mary Margaret had changed her mind after what she had done to Cora, thinking it best to go back and try to restore what she had lost to purify her heart once more. The twins were torn and somewhat upset, for the real world, their real world, was their home. Not only that, but they still hadn't found out who the woman was that August had warned them about, which the twins were becoming increasingly worried and antsy about.

What's more for (Y/n) is the fact that she still has yet to tell her parents about her magic. Every day, she got a little closer to telling them, but once she went to do it, she chickened out and stopped, unable to get the words out. (Y/n) was afraid because Gold knew about her affliction, but she hoped he was too busy with new-Belle, who goes by Lacey now, to tell her parents about the magic she discovered. Emma kept urging her on, but she refused every time, knowing that Snow White and Prince Charming would look down upon a dark daughter, when all she wanted was her parent's approval. But, she knew she couldn't keep this secret for much longer, for as she bottled it in, her emotions became higher, and the magic wanted to burst out even more than before.

The girls had decided to go down to Granny's to get some lunch for the day, a takeout order to bring back to the apartment. On the way there, they discussed both who the woman is, and the problem surrounding their parent's wish to go back to the Enchanted Forest. They could never talk about it with their parents around, considering they were so set on going back to fix everything. As they walked in, Emma was startled when she bumped right into someone, (Y/n) seeing it to be Neal's fiancée, Tamara.

"I'm so sorry!" Emma said, bending down to help pick up some of Tamara's things that had fallen on the ground. They shared an awkward smile as (Y/n) walked past to get to Granny's keeping an ear out for their conversation. After hearing her order, Emma asked, "He still hates mayo, huh?"

"Avoids it like the plague," Tamara said, and (Y/n) looked over to see Emma with a piece of paper in her hand, staring at it quite intently.

Emma shared a look with (Y/n) who nodded and took their order quickly for Granny so that she and Emma could speak about what she saw. Emma stood up and asked Tamara, "How are you doing here? In Storybrooke, I mean. It's a lot to take in."

"Understatement," Tamara said with a chuckle, putting her purse back on her shoulder. "But, I guess you and your sister know that better than anyone."

"Yeah, I guess that's true. But we had each other. And Henry, he got us through it," Emma told her, and Tamara nodded.

"Right, yeah. Neal's doing the same for me," she said with a smile and a shake of her head.

"Even so, it's pretty crazy here," Emma stated, and (Y/n) motioned for her to speed up the useless conversation. She could tell Emma hated talking with Tamara, even if she hid it. "If the world found out about this place, do you know what that would mean for Henry or Neal?"

"Look, Emma, you don't have to worry," Tamara soothed her, knowing what she was thinking. "You can trust me."

As Tamara gave Emma a smile, she gave the fakest one (Y/n) had ever seen in her life back. Emma wasn't even trying to hide the amount of distaste she had for Tamara.

"Be seeing you later."

"Yeah. I'll be seeing you," Emma said, and once Tamara had passed, she quickly went over to her sister's side.

"Emma, I swear, it's like you're trying to let her know how much you hate her," (Y/n) said, and Emma looked at her and scoffed.

"I do not hate her!" Emma exclaimed, and sat up straighter in her seat. "But I just became extremely suspicious of her."
