Once Upon A Time: Second Chances

Meeting

The Swan-Jones House

The group had gathered in Emma and Killian's house after the whole "Granny's Fiasco" (as both Henry's had been calling it). Killian had immediately laid Emma on the couch with her head on Killian's lap, as she had not yet woken up. The rest of the gang were hanging around the living room discussing what to do about the Dark Princess's note. "We should definitely not do what this so called 'Dark Princess' says." Regina said from her space by the door. "I agree." Gideon said from a chair by Snow and David. It was still slightly surprising to see Emma's former, almost, kinda, killer being so kind to everyone else. "I don't agree!" Hope said forcefully from next to her father. (She has a habit of sitting on the arms of furniture, not the actual furniture). "Look what she did to Mom!" "I agree with the lass." Killian said, stroking Emma's cheek. Violet-Marie came bounding down the stairs. "Hey guys! I was just setting up my room!" she obviously had not seen Emma yet. "Woah." she said, stopping abruptly when she saw all the solemn faces. "What happened here? Who died?" "No one yet." Snow said. "But I don't know how Emma is doing." "Emma?" Violet-Marie asked. She looked at the couch. "Oh my god!" she said, finally seeing Emma. "Is she alright?" Everyone looked at each other. "I have no idea." David replied. "Who did this to her?" Violet-Marie asked. "The Dark Princess," (older) Henry said bitterly. "ring any bells?" Violet-Marie frowned. "No, but that is a really good band name!" Emma groaned. "Emma?" Killian asked. Emma's eyes flickered open and she sat up slowly. "What happened?" she asked. "You collapsed, love." Killian said gently. "How much do you remember?" Emma frowned. "I remember drinking some hot chocolate, but that's it." Regina frowned when she say Emma wrap her arms around herself. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Yeah," Emma replied. "I'm just feeling a little strange." Snow frowned in concern. "How strange?" "I'm not sure, just kind of empty, and tired. Like all of my energy has been drained." Regina's frown deepened. "Can you conjure a ball of light?" she asked. Emma frowned and tried her best. "No. My magic isn't working." she said. She looked up at everyone. "What are we going to do?" she asked. "I have no idea." Regina said. Not one person in the room had noticed that Violet-Marie had slipped away as soon as Emma woke up. 

Violet-Marie's Bedroom

"Yeah, hey again. It's me." she said, checking to make sure that no one was watching or listening to her. "Yeah, the potion worked. Yes! I know that you think that I can't do this on my own, but I can! I have been training for this my entire life!" she paused. "Argh! Why can't you trust me?! Good bye!" she said firmly. "Who were you talking to?" Eemma asked from the door. Violet-Marie jumped. "Oh! Uh, no one." She stuttered. "Ah." Emma said. "Anyway, Killian, Hope and I are going to go sailing on the Jolly Roger. Wanna join?" she asked. Violet-Marie was stunned. "Y-You'd let me come with?" "Of course!" Emma replied. "I grew up in foster care and I never got to go on any trips, so I am so taking you, kid!" "T-thanks!" Violet-Marie replied. "Sure! I'll join you." She's being so nice to me, maybe I shouldn't go along with the plan.

Sooooo? How was it?? I am personally very happy with this!! Any thoughts?
