A Curse that can't be Broken

Too Careful

*Picture of Edith*

It had been a few days since the two mystery teens showed up to Storybrooke. The doctors kept Coal under their watch as he regained his strength. But they were not the only ones watching. Emma kept an eye on them as well... Well as best as she could. Good thing others offered to help.

David sat outside the room during his watch. It wasn't the first time he had taken a watch over the new comers. He had already watched over them two or three times by now. But during the first few times he tried to talk to them, guess how that went. Since his last watch David found it easier to just watch the two from afar. The girl Edith would always become very quiet and the boy, Coal would have strong yet harsh words ready for any conversation.

"Still here?" A voice asked. David turned around to find his one true love.

Mary Margret stood there with a bright smile as she knew David had been working late.

"Yeah." David smiled back. He looked back to the window to see the two gathering their things. It was almost time for them to be released from the hospital, which meant Emma would be there shortly.

David looked back the Mary Margret, "Any word from our daughter?" he asked.

Mary Margret shook her head as she looked to her phone. "But!" She exclaimed with a twist of her body, "I brought breakfast." She held such joy in her words as she walked over to the bench and took a seat. She pulled her bag in front of her and started to dig into it. Charming took a seat next to her but also looked to his own phone. "She'll be here." Snow touched his arm with a gentle hand. "When has Emma ever not kept her word?" She asked.

David nodded, "I know... It's just that..." David shook his head. Ever since they got more information on the situation, they were also running around town... Searching for the other person that showed up with the two teens. A mystery figure that just turned into mist and disappeared. After the final chapter they all thought that would be the end to them fighting. A time of peace that should be well deserved. But alas, their time of peace had come to an end it seemed.

"Maybe we're just over thinking this?" David questioned. "What if they are just travelers from the Enchanted Forest, or maybe." David let his words trail off, as did his thoughts.

Mary Margret frowned a little at this. She too had the same thoughts. She expected everyone to. "Maybe... It's nothing." She chirped. She was indeed hopeful. She watched as David turned to her with a concerned yet relaxed look on his face. He wanted to believe her and hoped that it was nothing. But something inside of him told him to be careful. To not underestimate the situation. How could you blame him? After all they had been through, one would expect that their story would somehow continue.

Meanwhile...

Emma rushed about her house searching in as many different places that she could think of. "Where are they?" she questioned herself as she looked through the couch.

"You mean these?" Killian asked as he stood by the door with Emma's keys.

"Yes." Emma rushed over and took the keys. She reached for her jacket only for Killian to stop her. "Are you sure you want to bring them here?" Killian asked.

Emma paused as she looked to Killian, "Well where else can I put them? I can't exactly throw them in jail... Or even in foster care." Her voice turned into a dull tone at the end on her words. She looked to Killian who was now not wanting to meet her eyes. She in turn tried to meet them. "What else can I do? We have no idea where they come from, no clue as to who their parents are."

Killian nodded as he finally meet her gaze. He motioned to their house. "We don't exactly have the space." He stated. Even with their new home, they were limited on rooms. Emma looked to the house slowly as she thought about this already. She shrugged as she motioned towards the couch. "I've talked it over with my mom and dad and they don't have any room either." She frowned.
