This is my second NCIS and Once Upon A Time crossover, I hope you guys like it. I want to thank my two friends, Kate for encouraging me to write this and Abby/ fashiongirl97 for helping me so much for with this story!

It will having many pairing hints but the main paring of course will be Jibbs. This is set at season 2 Once, after Cora's come to Storybrooke but before she dies, still haven't finished series 2 here in the UK so don't tell me what happens. Its AU obviously, I hope you like.

The title is a song by Erin McCarely and I thought it was perfect as Cora doesn't have a heart anyway on with the story.

Love save the empty

"Mother can I talk to you?" 17 year old Jennifer asked her mother, one night after her sister Regina and father Henry had gone to bed.

"Of course my darling, come sit beside me" Cora smiled at her daughter, she'd been sitting on a sofa by the fire, reading a book when her eldest daughter had interrupted her. Jennifer smiled at her mother before sitting down beside her on the sofa. "Now what is it you wanted to talk about?" Cora asked brushing a lock of Jennifer's red hair out of her face.

"I don't like how you use magic" the redhead 17 year old informed her mother, moving a little on the sofa, so she wasn't so close to her mother's reach.

"What do you mean?" her mother asked, completely confused as to where her daughter was going with this conversation "I teach you magic, you use magic" she added.

Jennifer shook her head and got up off of the sofa and began to pace the floor under the orange glow of the fire by the fire place "I do not use magic how you use magic" she told her mother.

"What do you mean how I use magic?" Cora asked, her voice showing she was a little angry at what her daughter was insinuating.

"You use magic in a bad way, you use magic to manipulate people to get what you want" her daughter explained as she walked back and forth in front of the sofa, "Like today, Regina didn't want to go riding, she wanted to stay with me and read but you used your magic to make her follow you" she explained.

"So what are you trying to say?" Cora asked her daughter.

"I don't want you using magic, any of us, why don't we get away from here, I read of a place where there is no magic, wouldn't that be good, we can get a fresh start" Jennifer explained, with hope shining in her bright green eyes.

"Selfish girl" she said with almost a laugh "Do you know what it took for me to get us all here?" her mother asked, her voice raised in anger.

"I know you had to take out your heart…."Jennifer began and her mother cut her off.

"How do you know that?" Cora asked standing up from the sofa to stand in front of her daughter.

"I found it, in a box…" Jennifer began but her mother cut her off again.

"How dare you go through my things?" she asked her.

"I didn't…. I just stumbled upon it, if you put your heart back then we can all be happy" Jennifer suggested. "You can love…"

"Love is weakness my darling" she told her daughter taking a step closer to her, Jennifer took a step back.

"What are you going to do?" she asked, seeing the look in her mother's eyes that told her she had a plan, an evil one at that.

"Letting you go somewhere where you won't have to worry about magic or your family" Cora told her before Jennifer was surrounded by a thick cloud of purple smoke, she covered her eyes with her hands.

She felt cold then hot all at once, she felt her hair fly around her shoulders and then she felt herself fall to the floor, pushing her hair back behind her ear, she looked around, her green eyes bright in curiosity, all she saw was trees, trees after trees and trees, where had her mother taken her.

Jennifer got back up on her feet, she brushed off her dress and then looked around her, trying to decided what direction she should go, she began to walk through the forest, pushing through all the brambles and tree branches, stepping over tree roots, just as she walked into a small clearing, her dress got caught on a branch, she tried to move it off but couldn't, she huffed before sitting on the floor.

"Well well what have we got here?" Jennifer looked up to find an imp looking man sitting on the rock opposite her.

"The dark one" she mumbled, her mother having warned both she and Regina of him and the power he possessed.

"I prefer Rumpelstiltskin" he told the younger redhead as he jumped off of the rock and bowed in front of her "It's nice to meet you Jennifer" he told her with a smile.

"How do you know my name?" she asked him.

"Let's just say I'm an acquaintance of your mother" he told her.

Jennifer moved back away from him "My mother sent me here" she told him, leaving the fact that she hated her mother linger in the air.

"I want to make a deal with you" he informed her, snapping his fingers, Jenny turned to find her dress was no longer stuck on the branch.

"Wh….what sort of deal?" Jennifer asked, her eyes full of curiosity as Rumple came closer to her and offered her his hand to help her to her feet.

"I can send you to a land where there is no magic, where you can get away from your mother" he told her.

That was all that Jennifer had wanted, "What do you want from me in return?" she asked him, hoping it wouldn't be something to horrible of her.

"In the future, your mother and sister will threaten me and my family" he told her "And your going to be the only one that can stop them" he told her "All I have to say is please and you'll come"

Jennifer nodded "Yes, I'll do it" she smiled and watched as he snapped his fingers and a contract and quill appeared in her hands.

"Then sign on the dotted line" he told her then watched as she signed it, "Pleasure doing business with you Miss Mills" he said with a smile before snapping his fingers and then a swirling vortex came out of nowhere and he then told her to step in, Jennifer nodded before taking a breath and jumping into a vortex.

Moments later she blinked her eyes open and looked around, once again she was surrounded by trees, she got up to her feet and began to look around, she heard a rustle of behind her, she turned around and found an older man walking on the path, looking very deep in thought, his head hung low, his hands in the pocket of his long brown coat, fedora sat on his head

"Excuse me" she spoke making him look up from his feet to her.

"Yes" he told her with a friendly smile and kind green eyes.

"Where am I?" she asked him.

"You're in Anacostia park, Washington D.C" he told her "What's your name?" he asked her feeling she needed someone to look after her.

"Uh Jenny" she told him.

"My names Jasper" he told her with a friendly smile, "Would you like to get some hot chocolate?" he asked her.

The little redhead nodded, Jasper smiled and couldn't help but think how this girl reminded him of his late wife

….

Now Jenny Shepard, sighed before leaning back in her chair and looking down at the playing card in her hand, the queen of hearts, she had found it in the mail a couple of weeks ago, she knew who it was from, August Booth, a man she'd ran into in Paris, the man that had told her what her little sister Regina had become, what she'd done to their mother, how evil they both were, Booth had told her that Cora would come to this land once the curse was broken and when that happened he told her he'd send her a sign and this was the sign, her mother was here.

That's why she'd left Gibbs in Paris she was afraid that her mother was going to come soon and when she did she'd find her and possibly kill the man she loved, so she had to keep him safe and that meant she couldn't be near him but as the years passed by, she couldn't, she needed Gibbs, she loved him too much and she vowed that when her mother did return, she could stop her finding Gibbs and hurting him even if that meant sacrificing herself.

Of course now she and Gibbs had found one another again, when he first came to her three months ago and told her that he was sick of them dancing around their feelings for each other and both being so miserable she had been hesitant, the thought of her mother coming and hurting Jethro, the only man she'd ever loved just to hurt her, but she knew she couldn't keep living like that ,she had to give in to what she wanted, to what her heart wanted, so she'd kissed him and never looked back.

"Director there's a call for you on line one" Cynthia told her through the intercom, bringing her back to reality. To the life she had now, the life she wouldn't ever give up, she loved Jethro, she loved the team who were all the family she needed.

Jenny hit the intercom button "Did they say who it was?" she asked not having expected a call from anyone.

"No, just that it was really important" her assistant informed her.

"Okay, thank you Cynthia, you can go on your lunch break" she told her assistant before picking up her phone and answering "Shepard".

"I thought you were more of a Miller's granddaughter" the voice said on the other end.

"Excuse me" Jenny said surprised, "Who is this?" she asked.

"Rumpelstiltskin" the voice said on the other end, Jenny took in a deep breath, she never actually though this day would come.

"Oh" she took a breath "Is…it…is she…." She mumbled, this meant her mother and sister where on the war path.

"I'm dying" he told her "And your mother is coming to take my powers, you need to come and stop Cora and Regina" Rumple told her, breathing through his pain.

"I…." Jenny took another breath, her heart was beating so fast, it was making it hard to breath.

"Please" he told her, sending chills down her spine.

"Okay" she told him, "Where are you?" she asked.

"Story Brooke main" his voice said all breathy as if he was in serious pain.

"I'll be there as soon as I can" she said before putting the phone down, she ran a hand through her hair, her mind spinning, she quickly wrote a note to Cynthia saying that something very important was taking her away for the rest of the week at least, she put it on her desk before locking her office.

Gibbs was having a slow day as well, he was sitting back on his chair, a hot cup of coffee in his hand, he was feeling very relaxed, he then looked up at the catwalk hoping to see his beautiful redhead, but instead he saw her rushing across the catwalk and to the elevator.

Gibbs was a little concerned , he hoped it wasn't something bad and that she wasn't sick or anything, he looked back to his team, all of them staring at him.

"You okay boss?" Tony asked, all of them finding Gibbs' facial expression a little weird, he looked concerned, really concerned, not a facial expression they had ever seen before on his face.

"Yeah" Gibbs mumbled "Lets call it an early day" he suggested getting up from his chair and then just walking out of the bullpen.

Half an hour later he pulled up outside Jenny's George town house, he walked to the front door only to find that the door was already open.

"Jen" he called as he walked across the threshold, looking around at her shoes that had literally just been stepped out of and her bag which had been thrown on the floor, her keys still in the lock.

"Up here?" he heard Jenny's voice echo from her bedroom, so he then took to the stairs two at a time.

"What are you doing?" Gibbs asked walking into Jenny's bedroom to find her stuffing the contense of her wardrobe into a duffel bag. "Not running again are you?" he asked her, trying to joked but he couldn't, it hurt him so much to just think about it.

Jenny lifted her head and walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him close "Never" she assured him with a sweet smile before reaching up and kissing him lightly on the lips, Gibbs pulled her close and kissed her back.

"So where you going?" he asked when the kiss ended but they stayed in their embrace.

"A family friend really needs me in Main" she told him.

"I'll come with you" he said, brushing her hair out of her face.

"No" Jenny shook her head and pushed away from him and going back to the duffle bag on her bed and closing it.

"Why not?" Gibbs asked her "We both need a break" he told her.

Jenny shook her head "Look my family are very complicated and I really don't want you to get mixed into it all" she told him.

"I already am" Gibbs told her "Jen I love you no matter what, your family can't be that bad" he told her.

The redhead smiled "I love you too, but please, you'll be a lot safer if you stay here" she told him, pressing a fleeting kiss to his lips "I'll call you when I get there" she assured him before walking out of her bedroom, down the stairs and out of her front door, leaving a stunned and very concerned Gibbs behind.
