An annoying buzzing sound creeps through my consciousness. I grumble, opening my eyes. I snatch my phone off the nightstand. Who the hell? My alarm clock reads 3:00 AM in bright red letters. I let out a groan before answering.
"If it's not an emergency, I'm going to kill you. " My voice is muffled, still halfway shoved into my pillow. I hear shuffling on the other line before I hear Emma's voice.
"Sorry, I didn't wake you up, did I?" She asks.
"It's the middle of the night, of course you did."
"I won't keep you for long. I'm just calling to tell you that I'm not going to be in town for a while." She tells me breathlessly. I prop myself up on my elbow.
"You're leaving? Now? With Cora here?"
Is she insane? There couldn't be a worse time to abandon ship.
"I have to. I owe Gold a favor, and he decided now is the time to cash in." I can hear the annoyance in her voice. I'm too tired to care what kind of business Gold could have outside of Storybrooke. Whatever it is must be important if he's willing to leave Belle alone when Hook's still here.
"So you're leaving me in charge." I surmise.
"Yes, I need you to take over as sheriff while I'm gone. Can you do that?"
"Mhmmm."
I hang up, falling face first into my pillow.

I decided to dress warmly since we're going somewhere windy today. And by decided, I mean David told me to. It turns out that Emma also asked David to stand in as deputy.
If she told me that was the plan, I certainly don't remember. I decided on a simple pair of leggings (good for sword fighting), a sweater, and a baby blue, knee length coat.
Our priority is to find Cora before taking any action. David decided to bring along Snow and Leroy. A decision that I hadn't been happy with. But then I remembered how capable Snow is.
