character, but in the Enchanted Forest she is known as Snow White. The reason the characters find themselves in this realm is because the Evil Queen puts a curse on the Enchanted Forest to send the characters to Storybrook. Snow White is married to Prince Charming. Emma is their daughter and their son is Neal, which they named after Henry's father. Another character is David, he is known as Prince Charming. David was in a coma for several months when he was first sent to this realm. Also, there is Regina, known as the Evil Queen. She is the one who put the curse on the Enchanted Forest. She begins as the villain of the tale but in the end she becomes the town's savior. This story is filled with twists and turns around every corner. Now the story begins! Emma and Captain Hook are sitting at the kitchen table discussing how he got turned into one of the Dark Ones. But the phone rings and it is Regina and she says, "Henry is gone. Do you know where he is?" Emma "No, I have not seen him." They hang up their phones and Emma's phone rings again, but it is not Regina. It is Cinderella's step-mom, Lady Tremaine, who is the villain of this story. Emma picks up the phone and says, "Who is this and what do you want?" Lady Tremaine, Cinderella's step-mom says, "It's me, Lady Tremaine, and I have Henry. If you want him back alive, you and Captain Hook must come to meet me at the old library and bring the Dark One's dagger. Meet me there in two hours' time, or else!" Next Emma and Captain Hook go to Regina's house with the bad news from Lady Tremaine. Emma arrives at Regina's house and pounds on the door and yells loudly, "Let us in, Regina, we've got some bad news to share with you." Regina opens the door and replies, "What's going on? Do you know where Henry is?" Emma replies, "Yes, Lady Tremaine has Henry in the old library and has threatened to harm him if we do not show up in two hours to meet them with Captain Hook and the Dark One's dagger." Emma grabs a flashlight to use on their way up the dark street and Regina, and Captain Hook discuss the plan, which they decide is to capture Lady Tremaine and to free Henry from her evil clutches. After the discussion, they decide to use Merlin's Magic Hat to trap the step-mom in the hat and then they set out to go to the old library to defeat Lady Tremaine at once. Arriving at the old library, they notice that the power is out and it is very dark and the only light is coming from Emma's handy flashlight. It's dead quiet and all they could hear was the rustle of the wind blowing against the trees and shaking the leaves. It's early summer time, so it's still cool outside, but Regina and Emma are sweating with fear as Captain Hook stands nearby for safety. It's time to face the wicked step-mother and so they enter the old library. They hear the sound of creaky old footsteps heading across the room in their direction. It does not sound like two people, but only one. Emma notices a tall lurking figure standing nearby. Emma says, "Who is there?" A voice from the darkness snarls, "Well, who do you think this is?" Emma shines the flashlight into the dark face of Lady Tremaine and blinds her, temporarily. The other two shuffle closer to the dark figure and peer into her face. And then, all three of them jump back and scream. Lady Tremaine asks, "Where is the dagger? You'd better have brought it or you will never see Henry again." "Where's Henry?" asked Regina. Lady Tremaine says, "You will see Henry when I see the dagger." Emma pulls out of her belt the Dark One's dagger and shines the flashlight on it and says, "You see it, so now go and bring us Henry." Lady Tremaine, turns quickly to go to get Henry, and then she walks away. Then, Regina pulls out Merlin's Magic Hat and prepares to capture the evil Lady Tremaine. Regina tells Captain Hook to stand by and look out for Lady Tremaine and Henry and to alert Emma and Regina when they return. The women whisper to each other plans on how to distract Lady Tremaine so they can use Merlin's Magic Hat to catch her. Captain Hook whistles loudly to alert Regina and Emma that Lady Tremaine and Henry are coming up from the basement of the old library.
Emma and Regina get into position. Emma's job is to keep Lady Tremaine's attention on her, not Henry and Regina. Meanwhile, Regina readies the hat. Then Lady Tremaine and Henry finally approach them. The hat opens up and looks like space in the middle, filled with stars and power. Emma pushes Lady Tremaine toward Regina, who is holding the magnificent hat, while Captain Hook grabs Henry and pulls Henry out of the way of the magical struggle. The hat pulls Lady Tremaine in while she struggles to escape by grabbing Emma. Emma kicks Lady Tremaine into the hat and the hat surrounds the evil step-mom, while everyone watches as Lady Tremaine is consumed by Merlin's Magical Hat. Henry runs over to Regina and Emma and throws his arms around them both, while Captain Hook watches. There is nothing left of the evil step-mother, Lady Tremaine. They all go back to Regina's house and celebrate Henry's safe return with a party with Mary Margaret and David. Emma tells the story to Mary Margaret and David and they are happily surprised that Henry is safe and sound. And Emma and Regina are happy,
