Elyse's P.O.V.
I ran from Emma to the campsite, I didn't want her to see me crying. If Pan saw me he'd say I had to suck it up.
Henry was like a brother to me and I had no idea what to do.
Mary-Maragret insisted I stayed for dinner and stay the night, I decided I would, I didn't want another stupid lecture from Pan.
After that delicious stew Emma and the others were trying to help her accept who she is. Which I didn't know what.
"Please talk to me.". Mary-Maragret trying to encouraged her.
"There's nothing to talk about. We had our chance and we lost, I lost.". Emma stated.
"Then you have to keep fighting." She had her hands clenched.
"You heard what Hook said, Pan is a demon!" Emma raised her voice.
"And you are a.." Mary-Maragret was saying but was interuppted by Emma.
"A what? A savior? Because if that were true this map would have shown us the way already!" She threw the map down.
Mary-Maragret looked up and said quietly,"Maybe who you think you are isn't what you really are. You know I mean sometimes we think we know ourselves but we need to push ourselves to show us the reality. That boy with the knife," What are they talking about?
Mary-Margaret continued, "You stopped fighting him why?"
"Cuz he was just a boy." Emma, staring at the ground.
"No, there was something else. I saw it in your eyes. Why did you stop?" Emma didn't answer, "Why?"
"Because when I looked at his face I saw me." I saw Emma quivering.
"Go on.". Mary-Margaret said.
Emma smiled, "that look in his eyes, the despair, I had it back when I was in the foster system. Just a lost little girl, who didn't matter. Who didn't think shed have anyone. That little girl cried herself to sleep. She wanted her parents so bad. And could never understand why they gave her up." I never knew that Emma felt like I feel. Being in the foster system and all.
"And then you found us, and it was too late." Mary-Maragret tearing up herself.
"Its just on this island, I.. I don't feel like the hero or a savior. I just feel like, what I've always been, an orphan." Emma was sniffling and I was too.
"Emma."
"What?" She said staring off into the distance.
"Look." Mary-Maragret looked down where the map was. It revealed a map!
Emma ggrabbed it, "What happened?"
You accepted who you are," . Mary-Maragret said in awe.
Emma sighed, "I'm sorry."
Mary-Margret said, with regret, "Its ok. Its the truth, you were an orphan, its my job to change that."
