You Found Me

Set loosely in season 7, a dark curse carries Storybrooke's residents to Hyperion Heights, wiping their memories--everyone except Emma. Beaten down by her husband, she'd moved away four years ago, breaking Regina's heart along with her. When Emma realizes her mistake and tries to find her family, Regina's gone, replaced by Roni's persona: a spunky bartender who helps Emma pick through her psychological damage...and maybe falls for her along the way, too. However, things may be more complicated than they seem ...

- EXCERPT:

Emma Swan wanders the newly abandoned, hidden town of Storybrooke that once was her home only four years ago. The cruel Maine wind slices at her cheeks and stings the tears in her eyes as the panic inside of her grows. Chest heaving, she stumbles towards her old mailbox. Something tells her to open it, and she complies, the metal hinges squealing in protest. At first glance, it looks as though nothing is inside, but the same invisible force tells Emma to look again. This time, she finds a weather-beaten postcard. The front shows a picture of a Seattle cityscape, and below it are words spelling out: "Greetings from Hyperion Heights." She flips to the back, revealing two words written in a childlike scrawl that send chills down Emma's spine. "Help us."

A beat passes; then a new strength blossoms in Emma's chest as she straightens and places the postcard in her jacket pocket. The hope within her tells her the message is from her missing family--and the postcard gives her a good idea where to start searching. It's time to find her family.
