Chapter 10:

His blood was boiling. That witch had dared to come here and make his wife shed tears for something she had done as a young child. He could not stay hidden and listen to Regina crush Snow's heart. But he had to think of Henry and Emma and... Abigail. If Regina had really killed the woman then she wouldn't hesitate to kill the rest of the people that he cared about. He took long deep breaths as he stepped from behind where he was hiding. Snow sat on her bed crying. He moved slowly and quietly towards her. "Charming..." She whispered when he opened the cell and stepped inside with her, he wrapped his arms around her and allow her to cry. "She'll never stop"

"No" Charming gazed down at her and lifted her chin. "She will... I will stop her.

"How?" Snow gasped.

"I don't know" He admitted kissing her cheek "But Emma and I... we will free you and I will make Regina pay, even if I have to kill her" Snow had heard this determination in his voice before.

"What about Henry?" Snow asked hopelessly. "She still raised him, he doesn't want anything bad to happen to her..."

"I will think of something then" David said after a moment as he shook his head. Henry would never forgive him if he indeed killed Regina. "But for now, I don't want you to shed more tears because of her"

"This is hopeless!" Emma said frustrated as she and August sat at Granny's "We are never going to find Kathryn and Snow will be transfered..." Then it hit her. "August?" Emma had decided to meet August at the dinner after dropping Henry off.

"Yes?" The former puppet gazed up at her.

"If my mother is transferred outside of Storybrooke..." Emma shivered. "Something bad will happen, the first few times Henry told me if people left town bad things happened they did... Ashley almost dies and I..."

"I am not sure about what will happen" August said bluntly. "But if Henry is right.."

"She could die" August nodded. He offered her his hand. "I can't let her die August.. I have to defeat Regina"

"What did the imp say?" August saw Emma's face harden.

"He told me he would make a little magic..." August was about to open his mouth when he heard someone screaming. "Ruby"

He and Emma hurried to where the screams were coming from. "Ruby... what?"

"She out there!" Ruby screamed horrified. "There's someone out there!" When Emma and August went to the side of the street Ruby was pointing, Emma's heart stopped. Had Regina killed Again?

"Charming" Snow said tiredly as she laid in the small cell bed with him. She was practically on top of him as they only seemed to ft that way. "What if Regina did really kill Abigail?"

David was looking up to the ceiling. "I don't know..."

"What will we tell Frederick?" Snow asked. She had to be honest to herself. She would never be Kathryn's biggest fan and maybe that was why Regina had implanted her as David's wife, so Snow could see how hollow her life would be without Charming but she didn't really hate the woman, She could not hate her after what she had done for her and David. She had helped him find his way back to her. David's cell phone then vibrated. It was Emma.

HENRY IS SAFE. COME TO THE HOSPITAL. ASAP.

"Charming?" Snow sat up again on the bed. "What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure" Her husband said darkly.

"What if Emma is hurt?" Snow's voice broke. "What if Regina hurt her?"

"I need to go in there" Emma said "I need to ask her a few questions" Dr. Whale did not seem pleased by her tone.

"Miss Swan..." the doctor said calmly "Mrs. Nolan has been trough a traumatic experience.. we gave her a mild sedative so she could sleep. I do not think it is wise to..."

"She looks awake to me" August interjected. "Come on man" Whale rolled his eyes. "Emma is just doing her job and if you knew better you'd listen to her.

Emma shot August a knowing look. "Look, I knew she is been trough a lot but I just want some justice to be done the way it was always meant to be, I promise I wont take long"

"Fine" Whale said annoyed. "But if you upset my patient..."

Emma had not heard the last remark and was already entering the room with August in tow. "Kathryn..." Her voice was soft as she eyed the older woman.

"Sheriff" Kathryn said sitting up and shooting August nervious glances. "I am sorry I already told the Dr..."

"I know" Emma walked closer to her. "I know you've bee trough a lot but... I really need to ask you..."

"I don't remember anything" August placed a hand on Emma's shoulder. "I am so sorry"

"Come on Emma" August told her sweetly. Emma turned to see Kathryn once last time.

"Emma..." Kathryn said as if she was in trance. "He told me that he would name his child Emma"

"What?" Emma's eyes were wide. "Who told you?"

"James" Kathryn said. "I see it now... you look just like her. Except for the hair." Emma glanced at August.

"Wait... you are saying you remember..?" The other woman nodded.

"Everything?" August continued. She nodded again "Except how you got kidnapped?" Another nod.

Okay! Nice twist there huh? Abigail remembers who she is! Next: Her and David have a heart to heart and Snow goes free...
