Don't Blame Me | Once Upon a Time |

Chapter Thirty-Two

"And now you're cursed. Why doesn't that surprise me?" Emma said

"Regina seems as clueless as the rest of us. I'm not sure she was involved in this." Mary Margaret said.

"So she says." Emma said.

"If you left the Enchanted Forest before the curse, how did you know to find Emma and come to Storybrooke?" David questioned.

"As I was sailing the realms, a bird landed on my ship's wheel with a note instructing me to retrieve Emma and bring her back here. There was a small vial of memory potion tied to its leg." Killian said.

"Who sent it?" Mary Margaret questioned.

"I assumed you did." Killian said.

"Message via bird, it does sound like you." David said. Leroy and Happy entered the house. "What is it?"

"We lost another one. We're down to five now." Leroy said.

"Four, actually. Bashful's not answering." Happy said.

"Wait, what is going on?" Emma asked.

"Thank God, you're back, sister."

"It's not just our memories that are missing. Ever since we woke up, people have begun disappearing." Mary Margaret told her.

"Whoever cursed us is picking us off one-by-one." Leroy told her.

"Who exactly is missing?" Emma asked.

"Aside from those dwarfs, we're not sure. There's been a lot of confusion over the past few days. It's bee hard to keep track of everyone." David said.

"Wait, Neal, is he here?" Emma asked.

"No. At least not yet." Cyrus came into the room, everyone could tell he hadn't slept in days. He was worried about Neal, he was the only family he had left.

"So, he might have been taken, too." Emma said.

"Smart money's on yes." Leroy said.

"Leroy." Mary Margaret scolded.

"He'll turn up, Swan. He always does." Killian reassured her.

"Some folks, are starting to set up camp in the woods at the edge of town. Neal might be there." David said.

"Or he may not have gotten swept up in the curse at all." Mary Margaret said.

"There's only one way we're going to figure all this out. We need to get your memories back." Emma said.

"How are we going to do that?" Mary Margaret asked.

"By figuring out who took them in the first place." Emma said.

Enchanted Forest
A year ago

It had been 7 months since everyone was sent back to the Enchanted Forest and Blair for the first time in her life felt at peace. She was living the pirates life with her papa, with no worries of what evil was to come. She even dropped her magic, she hadn't used it in 7 months. The only thing she missed were her boys. In her time away from everyone she had come to terms with what happened on Neverland, with Cyrus. With losing Rumple. She didn't want to mourn him, he was awful towards her yet she did, because he was more than just the Dark One to her, he helped her throughout her childhood, so she mourned that man. She forgave Cyrus for trying to kill her. If only she could tell him that.
