"Hey, Rumple." I say nervous after he gets done yelling and threatening to turn me into a bug.
"Why did you come here?" He yells. Ok maybe he wasn't done.
"I missed you... How's life?"
"Lies! Why are you really here."
"Some friends of mine," I'm cut off by him.
"Messed up her parents meeting and you need it to be fixed? Someone's already working on it."
"Oh! Then I guess I'll be on my way."
"No, what happened to my son? You haven't aged but maybe a year or two."
"He's um, fine. I don't know where he is honestly. We were separated."
"Rumple?" Bell walks in the door. "Oh! More company. Hello, I'm bell. And you are?"
"I'm Em- Daniella." I steamer out.
"Daniella? As in Baelfire's friend?" She asks.
I feel the pain griping my heart once again. After getting my memories back just the name made me remember what I had and lost forever. Or was it? If I could find away to stop Daniella from going with the goddess I would go over with the curse and be able to find Bae!
"Well?" Bell asks interrupting me from my thoughts.
"Yes. I'm Bae's friend." Breath Emma, it will be ok.
"Rumple said you fell with him though. How are you here?"
"We got separated. I really don't want to talk about it. Please excuse me." I say and I walk out the door and down the road. I find a stump and sit down to catch my breath and the next thing I know tears are streaming down my face.
Way to go Em, just got here and your already crying. I say to my self.
    Why am I such an emotional wreck? I wish I knew. I think it might be because I remember all the memories with bae. I could find him, I could go to Neverland and get him to stay. But no. He has to go down his path to meet Emma, have Henry, same my future self from starving. Maybe I could send him a message though, or go visit him. A thought pops into my head, it's an awful one but it's got to work right?
   I run to the town and find a horse. "Excuse me sir, can I borrowed this?" Fear strikes the mans face. Of course everyone knows me as Regina's apprentice.
   "Take what ever you need, please don't harm my family." He bows low shaking, I must have done some awful things, my memory is still choppy.
    "Thank you. Can you tell me where I can find the mad hater? It's VERY important." I say with a stern voice to make him answer.
   "He's at his house today, with his daughter." The man gets out. I feel so bad about scaring the man so I drop a few coins down saying thanks and ride off towards the mad hatters house.
    As I come to a stop I see him playing with his daughter. She's a beautiful young girl and she's very lucky to have a father who loves her as much as Jefferson loves her. It gives me a pain as I think of Coulson, there was a time after I joined his team he loved me like that. In a way he still does, but Coulson is changed.
   His daughter looks up and sees me. She gets a freighted look on her face and points to me. Jefferson looks at me and scowls. I climb off the horse and walk over awkwardly, "hey. What's up? Em- I mean I'm Daniella." Ugh that's weird to say.
   "We know who you are. Why are you here?" He bluntly asks.
   "Tea?" I try but he doesn't look convinced. "Ok, ok, I need a favor."
   "I've told you a hundred times I don't go to Neverland. If that's what you need get lost." He almost shouts at me. Ouch wasn't expecting that.
   "You have? Oh, well it's good that's not what I'm here for." I lie.
   "Well I'm kinda busy. Tell her royal pain I said hello." And he turns.
   "Why is everyone scared of me?"  I blurt out. Dumb question I'd know that. He turns on his heel.
    "You really don't know? It's because of the queen. Everyone fears her. And you, she's claimed you. No one will give you a chance because she put her mark on you."
   "Jefferson, if I'd known who she was, I wouldn't have gone to her. I wish people knew that. I guess it doesn't matter though, tomorrow no one will remember me."
   "Who the hell is Jefferson?" He asks. Right, that's his name in our world. Whoops.
    "You'll know one day."
    "What do you mean no one will remember you?" His daughter asks. She's one lucky girl. The whole time we've been talking Jefferson has had his hands firmly on her shoulders to protect her.
    "I'll explain in several years. After this visit you won't see me again in the forest. Please, tell no one of my visit." I look down at grace and continue. "One day we will meet again grace. You won't remember me. But I hope we have a chance at being friends. Your an awesome kid." And with that I climb on my horse and ride back to town. So much for my plan!
   I give the farmer back his horse and head into the heart of the city. Tomorrows the night of the princes ball. I should go. I didn't get to last time I was here because it was canceled. I chuckle to my self at the thought before slamming straight into uncle Killian. He laughs and with slurred speech says. "Sorry, ma'am, my you do look like my sister." Then he passes out. Definitely the old Killian.
    "Hey! Wake up!" I splash him with water after 5 minutes of weird looks from people.
   "I'm up, I'm up, what happened." He says looking a lot like captain jack sparrow with his in balancedness. In fact he even has the same face and hand movements going on.
   "You passed out. Hook are you ok?" I ask. It's not like he knows me.
   "I'm sorry love, but your much to young for me." He stammers out. I roll my eyes.
   "Thank heavens. Come on let's get you back to your ship to rest."
   "You really do look like my sister. God rest her soul. But you also look like..." He trails off lost in thought.
   We climb aboard his ship. I really need to find the present day hook but right now I have something else on my mind. While I can I want to find out about my mother and sister.
   "Who was your sister?" I ask him tilting my head to the side.
   "Beautiful girl. She worked in a saloon though. Made good money, until she had a kid." He pauses and cocks his head sideways. "Who's your mom dear?"
   Honestly he's so drunk. He was on Neverland with me and bae for months. That was a hundred years ago to be fair I guess.
    "I don't know. Died when I was 4. I was raised by the dark one after that."
   "No wonder you look so familiar. I knew you on Neverland." He looks so pleased with himself. I roll my eyes and we start catching up until he's crew comes in and carries him off to a saloon. Awkward, I'm on his boat by myself. Maybe I should leave.
   I head below deck first and look around. Me and bae slept on that bed very night we were on this ship. I lift up the mattress and to my surprise it's still there. I pick up the small doll. Bae had put it together for me with stuff he found laying around on the ship. It had stick arms and legs, he had taken fluff from the pillows and added mass to its body and then tied cloth around it.
   It was his way of saying thank you. I could have let him fall himself, I could have let the shadow take him alone, but no. I came with him. I loved him to much to lose him and, that's exactly what happened. I feel into Peter pans stupid mind tricks and lost Baelfire.
   Bang!
   Someone else boarded  the ship. I here shuffling of feet and put the mattress back. I shouldn't be in hooks cabin. He let us stay here but it still gave me no right. The foot steps are getting closer and I do the first thing I can think of. I hide.
