She's been here for a few days now, and while she can't say she's particularly settled in, she's at least familiar with the vicinity around her accommodations. She hadn't really ever gotten settled in anywhere until Henry took her to Storybrooke, and she supposes this place will be the same way. It can't really be home without her family here, after all. She already misses Henry more than she had ever thought it was possible to miss anyone. Just when she'd finally found a home, she was taken from it and ended up here instead.

She's out for a walk today, drawn to the lake for reasons she hasn't really cared to think too hard about, when suddenly there's panic and shouting and a giant creature emerging from the water. And here's Emma Swan, who instead of turning and fleeing to safety like a normal person would do, turning and facing down the monster like the savior is expected to do. A fireball emerges from her palm and she readies it to aim at the monster.

She can do this.
