The Dark Hearted: Book 2 of The Six Saviors Of Storybrooke (CANCELED)

We're Back

    Emma tries to blink away the black spots from her eyes. Everything hurts. She blinks and she can see clearly now. She and Mary Margaret are under some kind of rubble. Emma is about to stand up when she hears voices. 
     "What is that?" Asks a high female voice.
     "That is what brought the wraith here." Says a deeper female voice. "That is what took our prince."
     We took your prince? Thinks Emma. The rubble on top of Emma starts to move. The two women are moving the rubble that was on Emma and Mary Margaret.
     Finally Emma is free to move. Emma stands up and sees a young Asian women whith knight's armor and a sword. The other young women has pale skin and is wearing a pink dress and cloak. A princess.
     "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Asks the women with the sword.
      "I could ask you the same question." Snaps back Emma.
      "Emma?"
       Emma turns around and sees that Mary Margaret is awake now.
       "Where are we?" Asks Mary Margaret.
      "You're in the Enchanted forest. Well, what's left of it." Says the women.
      "We're back." Says Mary Margaret.
      "You're from here? Who are you?" Says the princess.
      "I Mary Margaret, but I was Snow here. Snow White and this is my daughter Emma."
     "I've heard about you. You were ripped away from this land by the Queen Regina's curse. Is that correct." Says the other women.
     "Yes. Why are you still here?" Asks Snow.
    "When the curse encased this land we were spared the curse. No one knows why. But now the ogres are back and not much of our land is left. We have established a safe heaven not far from here. We were just about to set journey to it when we encountered you. I'm afraid you will have to come with us as prisoners. You brought the wraith here and endangered us. That makes you a threat that we don't have time for."
    The two women grab ropes and start tying Emma and Mary Margaret.
    "Wait! Stop! We have to find a way to get back to our land! Who are you!" Yells Emma.
     "I'm Mulan and this is Aurora." Says the Asian women tying Emma's hands. "Now be quiet as we make our journey to the safe heaven."
    "No. Let us go. You have to help us get back!" Yells Snow.
    Mulan and Aurora starts pushing Emma and Snow. They tie both of them with a longer rope so they can walk behind Mulan and Aurora that are riding horses. Before they know it, it is late afternoon and they can see fire lit up in the distance.
    "We're here." Says Mulan.
    They reach the safe heaven which is actually a small camp.
    "Refugees." Says Emma.
    "No. Survivors. We are strong and we will not be defeated by some beasts." Corrects Mulan. She gets off of her horse and start untying Emma and Snow.
    "We will put you in the cell with the rest of our prisoners. Follow me." Says Mulan and starts walking with Aurora in front of them toward the cells. Snow shoots a look to Emma and she knows what it means. Run.
   Instantly Emma and Snow start running in the opposite direction of Mulan and Aurora. Mulan sees them escaping and pulls out a rock attached to a rope.
    "Run Emma! Run!" Screams Snow.
Emma runs ahead of Snow sprinting as fast as they can.
  Mulan spins the rock rope in her hand and flings it with mighty force to Snow. The rock hits Snow in the head and she falls to the ground with a thump, unconscious.
  Emma stops running and turns around to see Snow lying on the ground.
  "Mary Margaret!" Yells Emma and runs toward her. She kneels down and tries to wake her. "Why did you do that!"
  "Take them to the cell!" Yells Mulan waving at two guards.
   The guards grab Emma and drag Snow toward the cell. Cell is to fancy of a word to call a hole in the ground. They throw Emma in and she stands up but falls down again when Snow falls on top of her, taking the air out of Emma.
  "Be careful!" Yells Emma.
  Emma carefully pushes Snow off of her and lays her on the ground.
  "Mary Margaret. Mary Margaret. Wake up." Says Emma shaking her.
   "She'll wake up soon."
  Emma turns around to see a middle aged woman standing there in a black cloak. Underneath she wears a dark purple dress.
  "Who are you." Asks Emma.
  "My name is Cora. I was put in here when the curse ripped everyone away from this land twenty eight years ago. When they learned what my daughter did to all the innocent people in this land, they threw me into this hole."
  "Your daughter? Your Regina's mother?" Emma asks shocked.
  "Yes." Says Cora. "I am ashamed of what my daughter has done. All I wish is to see her again. Can you help me?"
  "Sorry, I have my own problems. I have to get back to our land. To my son. Regina's adopted son. Speaking of which, Regina turned his heart black so he would only love her but that only made him hate her more than he already did. That's why we have to get back. To save my son Henry." Says Emma.
  "Henry? Poor child. My poor child. I know the pain Regina is feeling. I wish I could help." Says Cora. She steps closer to Emma. Her face is lightened by the sun entering by the crack from the door. The light reveled wrinkles in her face. "I know how to get out of here. I can also help you find a way to get back and you would also be helping me see my daughter by bringing me with you."
  Emma is about to agree when she sees that Snow is awake. She looks dazed and touches the back of her head and winces. She turns to Emma but when she sees Cora she stiffens. Her eyes are alert. She quickly stands up and walks up to Emma.
  "My dear Snow, it's been some time." Says Cora.
  Snow grabs Emma's arm and pulls her away from Cora.
    "Do you have any idea who she is!" Says Snow in a hushed voice.
   "Yeah, she Regina's mother so what." Says Emma.
  "You think Regina is evil? You think that Regina has done horrible things you could ever imagine. Well she is worse. She is far more dangerous than Regina." Says Snow.
  "What are you saying?" Says Emma.
  "Now my dear Snow. Those things are in the past. I can help you." Says Cora.
  "No. Don't listen to her Emma." Says Snow.
  Just then the door opens and Mulan is there.
  "There is someone who wants to see you." Says Mulan to Snow and Emma. "Get out."
  Emma and Snow follow Mulan to a big tent. Mulan signals them to go inside.
  Emma and Snow go inside and there is a man with dark skin, short hair, and in armor. Snow's face lightens when he sees him. She recognizes him.
  "Lancelot!" Yells Snow and runs toward him to embrace him.
  "Snow!" Says Lancelot and embraces her.
  "What are you doing here? Who's this?" Asks Lancelot.
  "This my daughter. Emma." Says Snow.
  "A girl." Say Lancelot smiling at Snow as if remembering something.
"We fell through a portal and we need help finding a way back home. Can you help us." Says Snow.
  "I was already working on that. Some people arrived not to long ago and asked me to do the same thing." Says Lancelot.
  "Who were this people." Asks Emma.
  "Her they come right now." Says Lancelot pointing behind Emma.
  Emma turns around and is startled to see them.
  "You're here!" Says Emma.
  "You too!" They all say.
  The Saviors are there.
