Finding You Always

Chapter 85: Rocky Road

The tires on the cruiser squealed, as David came to a stop in front of the Chop Shop. They flew out of the car and barged into the establishment. Bo Peep glared at the former shepherd, as he stormed in.

"What the hell do you want?" she snapped.

"I need to find someone you once marked. Recall this?" David asked, holding up the necklace.

"Can't say that I do," she replied in a bored tone, as she smashed the cleaver down on the meat she was cutting.

"Try again...where is your shepherd's crook?" he demanded to know.

"I don't have to tell you anything. You think you're a real hero now, don't you? Prince Charming...but you'll always be that scared little shepherd boy I once knew," she hissed, as he glowered at her with icy blue eyes.

"What I am is a father that needs to save his daughter and you won't stop me. You couldn't stop me then and you won't stop me now," David growled.

"Is this what you need, mate?" Hook asked, as he came out of the back with a shepherd's crook.

"Yeah, that's it," David said, as he released Bo Peep.

"Keep interfering with a police investigation and you'll go to jail," David warned, as he took the shepherd's crook. David turned away to focus the crook on the necklace. Bo Peep glared at him, still bitter about her defeat at his hand all those years ago. She hated this town. Back in their land, she had been a powerful Warlord. Here she was just a butcher, while he was a Prince, the Sheriff, and husband to the Mayor. She raised her cleaver, intending to bury it in his back when Hook caught her arm from behind. Leo shocked her hand and she dropped the weapon.

"Guess you're choosing jail," David commented, as Leo cuffed her.

"Hello...can anyone hear me?" came Elsa's voice from the walky talky.

"Elsa...what is it? Is Emma okay?" David asked.

"No...she's losing consciousness. I'm sorry...I'm so sorry," Elsa cried.

"Hang on...we're coming back," David said, as he looked at Bo Peep.

"Go Dad...get Emma. I'll take her to the station and book her," Leo said. David nodded, as he and Hook rushed out to the car.

A few minutes earlier

Elsa watched, as Emma held her trembling hand out.

"What are you doing?" Elsa asked curiously.

"Trying to summon my magic....but I think I'm too cold," Emma replied.

"You have magic?" Elsa asked in surprise. Emma nodded.

"Yeah...I have magic. My brother and sisters too," Emma replied.

"How is that possible?" the queen asked.

"Our parents...it's kind of a long story. But they share the truest love in all the realms, which is basically love that creates magic," Emma chattered.

"So...you were all born with magic?" Elsa questioned.

"Mmmhmm..." Emma hummed, as she started fading.

"Emma...Emma...no, you have to stay awake!" Elsa panicked, as she fumbled with the device and held the button down like she had seen Emma do.

"Hello...can anyone hear me?" Elsa cried into the device.
