Chapter 11: Heroes and Villains

"Stop! Don't take another step!"Emma warned as she noticed Anna approaching the town line, while Elsa stood closely behind her sister.

"The wall may be down, but I sense that some of Ingrid's magic remains. Yeah, leaving this town has never been simple. And Ingrid? She didn't change things. She wanted to be here alone with you and me. She wanted to make Storybrooke her ice castle, and clearly she wanted to protect it."

"So how do we get back home?"Anna asked.

Elsa sighed,"Walking wouldn't get us there anyway. We're in a different realm."

"We need to find a portal. Or magic beans or something."

"Okay, now I'm lost." Kristoff said.

"Well, then let's get one of those things. We have to hurry."Anna said.

"No, we don't need to rush."Elsa spoke again,"We need to be careful. Arendelle will still be there while we figure this out.

"It might not. Did we forget to tell her?"Anna asked, her eyes locked now on Kristoff.

Kristoff shrugged,"I mean a  lot of stuff was going on."

"Tell me what?"Elsa asked.

Anna went on, "Arendelle's been conquered... By Hans and his 12 brothers. Emma, we need to find a way back... now."

"We'll do our best."

Regina is sat, alone at Granny's Diner when Marian comes in and takes a seat at the booth as well. "Hey Regina, I thought we should talk. Thank you for saving my life... Twice, actually."

Regina simply shrugged. "Forget about it. It doesn't really matter. He's a man of honour. He made a vow to you, and he's going to keep it."

"I don't want him to be with me out of obligation. I want to be chosen. If his heart leads him to me, fine. But if it does what I suspect and leads to you... I will step out of the way."

Belle is packing her clothes then Henry enters."Hey, grandma. Are you taking a trip?"

Belle nodded."Uh, yeah. Rumple's taking me to New York for our honeymoon."

"But the Snow Queen left a spell on the town line. Anyone who goes can't return. Didn't you hear?"

"No, I-I-I didn't. But I'm sure he must have a way to remove it."Belle said,"Hey, what's wrong?"

Henry sighed, as he removed the book from his backpack."It's all in here, in this book. It's Hope's but it's got all your stories in it. It started all of this. And my mom... Lots of bad things happen to her in it."

"Well, that doesn't mean they'll always happen to her that way."Belle reminded him."I... I wouldn't worry. She's on a much better path now.

"Thanks, grandma. You know, when you're in New York, you've got to go to the public library. No offense, but it blows the one here away. It's got these lions outside of it..."

At lot of items falls."Aah! Are you okay?"Belle asks, helping Henry back to his feet."It's okay. I-I got it. I just, uh, didn't expect to see this here."

Hook comes to Granny's Diner. He wants to talk to Emma."Swan. Come celebrate, for I may not be the Savior, but I've just saved the day."

"Hang on. Don't get your hopes up yet. Okay. What, exactly, are we celebrating?"

"The portal to Arendelle. I found it. So, bottoms up."Hook said,"I found Gold, and he told me where to locate one. A door in the ballroom of that lakeside mansion. Yes. It appears that our Rumplestiltskin has turned over a new leaf."
