After climbing out of the pit we're led by some guards who keep their watchful gazes on us the entire time.
"Why couldn't you have just listened to us?" Snow asks with an undercurrent of hurt in her voice as opposed by my annoyance. I can imagine that having your own daughter not being willing to trust you would be hurtful. I can't exactly blame Emma, after all, they're both about the same age and she probably feels like a fish out of water in the enchanted forest.
"Why couldn't you have trusted me? I was just trying to find a way to get us home." Emma asks back, exasperated.
"Trying to find a way to get us killed." I correct, unable to hold my tongue. She shoots me an annoyed look.
"I could've handled her." Emma says confidently. I scoff.
"Cora? Don't be so sure." Snow says, disbelieving.
"Cora was able to rule over an entire land because of how powerful she is and you think going to her for help is a good idea?" I ask rhetorically. She looks slightly embarrassed but tries to hide it.
"Well, how was I supposed to know that?" She asks defensively."You not, that's the whole point. You know nothing of this world and yet refuse to listen." I say firmly.
"We've lived here, Emma. I know this world and its dangers." Snow says pleadingly, trying to get through to her.
"Wait here." One of the guards says before walking off. We stop and Emma turns to look at her mom with a look of contempt.
"Is that why you came through the portal? Because you thought I was helpless here?" She asks.
"No." Snow whispers with a shake of her head. "I came through to be with you." her voice sounds heartbroken. Her face switches suddenly, her face becoming joyful at something behind us.
"Lancelot?" Snow asks, a smile forming on her face. I turn around to find a handsome night, dressed in all black armor.
"Snow?"He asks in disbelief before the both of them run to each other and tightly embrace. "If I had known that you were the prisoners Mulan had brought back, I never would have locked you away. Please, forgive me." He explains with a sympathetic look.
"Of course." Snow immediately says. Shoulders sagging slightly, I feel a bit relieved. I may not know this man but I trust Snow enough to trust her judgment.
"Lancelot? Really?" Emma asks in annoyance.
"He's an old friend. We can trust him." Snow reassures with a nod of her head.
