"How did you find us?" asks Elsa.

"We were trying to save Regina's life and we fell into the portal along with the monster," says Emma, "Now we have to find a way home to save Henry. Who knows what he's up to with that evil in him."

"The magic wardrobe," says Mary Margaret, "It's in our castle. You're home."

"Maybe I can help," says Lancelot, "I can offer the help of my best soldier, Mulan. She can guide you. I hope you find what you're looking for."

"Thank you Lancelot," says Mary Margaret.

"We better set off right now," says Mulan.

They set off to the castle with the sun setting. When they get there it's night and really dark. They enter the dark and dank castle. Most of it is destroyed because of the first curse. They find the room with the wardrobe. It is decorated with baby toys and a crib. In the corner of the room is what looks like a tree with doors and designs.

"This was supposed to be all for you," says Mary Margaret with sadness in her voice, "We never got to use it."

Emma feels sorry for her but doesn't let her get distracted from what they came for.

"So,"  says Emma, "how does this work."

"I don't know. It's magic is probably gone."

"We'll keep guard outside," says Mulan, "cmon saviors."

Emma and Mary Margaret examine the wardrobe then they hear someone behind them.  Lancelot is entering the room.

"Lancelot what are you doing here?" says Mary Margaret.

"I just wanted to make sure you were safe and if you needed any help," says Lancelot, "I know how much it means for you two to get back to your home and to you're son Henry."

Mary Margaret smiles at Lancelot. She moves her hand and swiftly takes her sword and points it at Lancelot startling Emma.

"Don't get near him Emma. He's dangerous. He isn't who you think he is," says Mary Margaret.

"What," says Emma," why not? Who is he."

"There is only one person who yo up told Henry's name," says Emma.

Emma's eyes widen as she realizes what is going on.
"Cora," says Emma.

A cloud of purple smoke starts to engulf Lancelot. When it clears, Cora is standing there.

"Clever girl," says Cora as she lifts her hand and throws Mary Margaret into the air. She smashes into the wall. Cora starts choking Mary Margaret and her sword is on the floor.

Emma runs toward Cora to stop her but Cora waves her hand at the carpet. The carpet wraps around Emma's feet and she trips.

"I will see my daughter again and give her what she always wanted. Your heart," says Cora to snow. She lifts her hand to rip Mary Margaret's heart when Emma sets the wardrobe on fire with her lighter.

Cora lets go of Mary Margaret and she falls to the ground gasping for air.

"No!" says Cora, "you will pay for this."

Cora lifts her hands up and vanishes in a cloud of purple smoke. Mary Margaret stands up and helps Emma up.

"Sorry for burning our ride home," says Emma.

"We'll just have to find another way," says Mary Margaret.

Just then the saviors and Mulan run into the room.

"What happened here?" Asks Tris.

"Lancelot. He wasn't who we thought. He was Cora." says Emma.

"How could I be so blind?," says Mulan, "I should have known."

"We have to get back to camp," says Katniss.

"Okay let's move," says Mulan.

They all leave the castle and the burning wardrobe which is now only hot, red glowing, wooden embers and ash. Suddenly there is a whooshing sound and a cloud of purple smoke in the room. When it clears Cora appears and walks toward the ash of the wardrobe. She extends her arm and flattens out her hand. Purple smoke appears in her palm and is replaced by a small, clear, glass bottle. She bends down and scoops up the gray, gravel like ash into the bottle. When the ash is collected in the bottle it starts to glow purple.

Smiling, Cora puts the bottle in her pocket and with magic, clears away the rest of the wardrobe ash remains. She starts walking toward the exit but disappears in a cloud of smoke as she nears the door.
