Chapter Two, the Wraith

"How can he just let them date a pirate and a thief? Though I'm not surprised he wants to corrupt them!" David raged as he paced up and down outside of the shop. "Why can't they just talk to us Snow, Emma did." David sighed throwing his hands in the air in resignation. "To be fair I remember you and mum, dad. They weren't even half an hour old when the curse struck. They don't remember me as their sister or you as their parents. To them Gold is the only parent they know." Emma said hesitantly trying not to hurt her dad's feelings. "And I doubt you criticising Gold or their boyfriends will help in the matter especially as Elektra is engaged."

"You're right Emma." David sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "I just want them to know we love them and want to get to know them."
"Why not start by inviting them and Will and Killian to Granny's tonight so we can all get to know each other?" Henry suggested. He wanted to get to know his aunts and uncles too. "You're right Kid." Emma smiled kissing Henry's head. "In the mean time lets go to the Town Hall to help everyone get reunited, Regina's safely in the Sheriff's station so no one can hurt her and she can't hurt them." With that said the family headed off in the direction of the Town Hall to help reunite everyone with their loved ones.

------- Line Break -------------------

"I don't get why they want to meet us straight away." Elektra confessed to Elan who was doing her hair into a four way plait, like she'd done for her. They were currently in Elektra and Killian's home or more precisely their bedroom getting ready to meet their sister, nephew and mother and father along with Killian and Will who were going to support them. "I know Ellie but we can give them a chance we both felt a pull towards them while working at the hospital. There done, let's go down to Killian and Will we don't want to keep them waiting." Elan said causing them both to giggle as she helped Elektra off of the stool in front of the dresser.

They'd both decided to wear a dress for the evening; Elektra's was a red halter neck, backless dress that was skin tight at the top and flowed out a bit at the hips before stopping just above the knee with black heels on and light make up. Elan however, was wearing a cobalt blue dress that clinched in at the waist and was short at the front only going to above the knee and long at the back, paired off with silver ankle peep-toed boots also with light make up. The guys had decided to take them out after meeting the rest of their family and Elektra and Elan wanted to tease them a bit. "Killian." Elektra called as Elan called, "Will." As they came down stairs seeing the empty hallway. Instead of answering both men came out of the living room each wearing dark jeans but Killian was wearing a dark blue shirt and black dress shoes and his black leather jacket.

Whereas, Will was wearing a red top under his brown leather jacket and brown dress shoes. When their eyes landed on their respective woman their eyes popped out and jaws almost hit the floor causing a blush to spread over both girls' cheeks. "You look stunning Elektra." Killian came over wrapping his arms around his waist as Will did the same to Elan. "Just wait till we get home." Killian whispered huskily in Elektra's ear. Elektra shivered her green eyes darkening with lust. "I'll hold you to that." She whispered back. Ever since she agreed to marry him they'd been unable to keep their hands off each other which she was sure annoyed her sister slightly though she couldn't really talk. "Come on you two I think we've kept them long enough." Elan tried to rationalise but Elektra could see right through her sister, she just wanted the meeting with them over as much as she did so she could spend the evening with Will. "Fine." Elektra sighed as she put on her leather jacket and left the house with the others following, once she'd locked the door she took Killian's hand and walked beside her sister who was holding Will's hand.

Arriving at Granny's the two sisters immediately became nervous and were unsure whether they wanted to go in or not. "Come on Elan, Elektra everything will be fine and if it's not you have us here." Will assured his girlfriend and his friend who was like a little sister to him. "Will's right love, everything will be fine and I'll be right beside you. You're not alone, neither of you are, you've got each other like you've always had and you've also got us to fall back on if you need to. There's a reason I asked you to marry me Elektra." Killian assured her squeezing her hand reassuringly as her grip on his hand tightened slightly. "Okay." Both girls sighed as they gathered their courage. They shared a look speaking to each other without words before turning to look at their love of their lives that nodded and smiled reassuringly at them never once letting go of their hands as they entered the diner. "Elektra, Elan you came." Mary Margaret said happily as she came over to greet her youngest daughters. "And you brought Killian and Will." Mary Margaret smiled but they could tell she was less than happy.

"Well your highness we've come as support. Elektra is my fiancée after all and Elan is like a sister to me and Elektra is like a sister to Will." Killian said with a shrug as he took off Elektra's jacket and led her over to the booth. Will doing the same for Elan. "Wow. You two look amazing. Are you going somewhere?" Mary Margaret asked as she joined them at the booth sitting down opposite them on the end, David was next to the window opposite Elektra, Henry next to him opposite Killian and Emma opposite Elan. "We're taking 'em out after to celebrate Elektra and Killian's engagement." Will told them smoothly as he took a sip of his scotch that Ruby just brought over. "How long have you been with my aunts?" Henry asked Killian and Will curiously ignoring Emma's soft warning. Smiling at the lad opposite him Killian wrapped his right arm around Elektra's shoulders the smile lighting up his eyes as she leaned into him.

"I first met Killian at the hospital as a trainee nurse, when we were seventeen going on eighteen I was assigned to a different cubical to Elan. That's when I met Killian; I was patching him up after he hurt himself at the Docks where he works I wasn't sure about him at first I liked him but thought he was a flirt." Elektra admitted a light blush on her face at what she thought when she saw him when she walked into the cubical. "Even though I was in pain from my accident I knew as soon as I saw Elektra there was no other woman for me." Killian said smiling at Elektra as he kissed her chastely on the lips. "Of course it took me a little while to warm up to you though the fact that you helped me control my magic helped as the only one who did were Elan and I for her. Once I got past your act you were easy to like. Most of the time." Elektra said cheekily. "You minx." Killian hissed in her ear as he felt her foot gliding up his leg.

"A couple of weeks later we turned eighteen and Elektra met Killian again. We went to the Rabbit Hole to celebrate our birthday. Will works at the Rabbit Hole and Killian was meeting Will at the club when Elektra sat next to Killian."
"I didn't notice Elan at first as the manager and other bartender Jefferson served them first but as soon as I did I was immediately drawn to her." Will told them but like Killian he only had eyes for his girlfriend. "I much like Ellie didn't know what to make of Will at first but I was also drawn to him." Elan told them.

"I remember you two working at the hospital. I always thought you were too young to be working in a hospital surrounded by sick patients." said Mary Margaret a frown on her face. "Papa didn't mind us working there and really it was there or the club that had vacancies and he didn't want us working in the club even if the only person we would know was Will after he and Elan started dating." Elektra said with a shrug.

The atmosphere was tense as they tried to make conversation but it was awkward as Elektra and Elan are sore about being pushed out but they are also confused as they felt drawn to their parents, the only ones that they could connect to from their family was their older sister Emma and their nephew Henry. "Why do you call Gold Papa?" David asked. He couldn't hold it back anymore it had been bugging him for most of the evening though he was trying to hide the hurt he felt at his twins calling another man 'Papa'. Elektra and Elan sighed they knew this would be brought up if the conversation they heard earlier was anything to go by.

But before either of them could answer they heard a horrible screeching noise from outside and people screaming as the lights flickered, car horns blaring and stuff being thrown around the street. "What the hell was that?" David asked as he tried to look out of the side window to see what was going on in the street. "I'm sorry girls but can we do this another time? It looks like we have another crisis on our hands." He really didn't want to go but they were heroes and the town needed them. Elektra and Elan couldn't hide the hurt in their eyes or on their faces as they all stood up and left the dinner without a backwards glance leaving Henry there with Ruby.

"It's alright love, it's alright." Killian soothed as he wrapped his arms around Elektra as Will did for Elan. "Let's just go." Will said as he helped Elan put on her jacket. Only after Killian and Will had made sure they had their jackets on did they leave the diner, they didn't want them to get sick as it was quite chilly out. As they left the diner they heard David talking to Mary Margaret and Emma. "It looks like its heading for the Sheriff station."

"Regina." Emma said worriedly sparing a glance back at the diner at Henry who she could see through the window. The three of them darted off to save Regina with Elektra, Elan, Killian and Will following behind as Elektra and Elan were the only ones apart from their Papa who had magic so they might be able to help.

They arrived in the Sherriff's Office just as Regina revealed the thing to be a wraith and that she had been marked after Emma had scared it off. "Who would summon something like that to Storybrooke and much less mark you?" Mary Margaret wondered.

"It was Gold. He wanted revenge for what I did to Belle and he said he had to protect his girls from me." Regina said gasping for air.
"But, why would he do that?" Elektra and Elan asked confused, they'd only ever seen the kind and caring side to the man. They knew he was closed off to everyone else and had done some terrible things in his past. They weren't naive they were just confused that he would do this when he'd promised he wouldn't get revenge on Regina. "Because Gold only looks out for himself you two should know that he raised you and now that thing is going to keep coming after me until we find a way to get rid of it." Regina sneered barging past the twins and out of the station to her vault to see if she can find anything of use down there.

------ Line Break ------------------

"So if we can open the portal through the hat we can send the wraith through it?" Emma asked Regina as they were in the Town Hall trying to get the Mad Hatters Hat to open up a portal as Killian, Will, David and Mary Margaret held off the wraith with flaming brooms but when that wasn't enough David poured liquor over the top of the barriers then set it alight with the broom. "Hurry!" David shouted as the wraith was getting harder to keep at bay. "I'm trying." Regina snapped as she yet again tried to open the portal only for it to fail. "Let us try." Elektra said pushing Regina to the side as the wraith threw Killian, Will and David out of the way sparing a glance at her fiancé she sighed in relief when she saw him get back onto his feet. She spun the hat only for the portal to open on the first try and suck the wraith into it.

The cheerful moment was short lived however, as the wraith fell deeper into the hat it shot out a burst of silver light that wrapped around Elektra's and Elan's ankles pulling them backwards into the portal. "ELEKTRA!!! ELAN!!!" Their family shouted watching them fall through the portal. Killian and Will tried to get closer to save them but the wind from the portal was too strong that it kept pushing them back. "I'm going after them. I failed as a big sister before I'm not going to again!" Emma shouted as she jumped in after her little sisters.

"I lost all of my daughters twenty-one years ago I will NOT be separated from any of them again!" Mary Margaret shouted jumping into the portal after her three daughters just as the portal was closing. "Nor will I." David shouted. Noticing the portal was closing he took a running jump to jump over the barriers now that the fire had been extinguished thanks to the wind, but as he jumped the portal closed and he fell on to the hat crushing it so it couldn't be used again.

"No! No no no no no." David said frantically as he picked up the hat from underneath him noticing its ruined state. "Fix it!" he shouted at Regina.
"I can't and even if I could the hats ruined it can't be used anymore." Regina shouted aggravated.
"Fix it and open it to get my daughters and my wife back!" David shouted. Having had enough of him Regina sent him flying into the wall where the vines on the wallpaper came alive and held David there. "Let him go." Killian growled pulling out his sword and pointing it at the once evil queen.

"So it was all a bloody trick. You did have your magic." Will shouted also pulling out his sword.
"What? Was it so you can get all the saviours out of the way so you can have your boy again?" Killian growled angrily. "Well it's not going to work he's still got his grandpa and he's still got his two uncles and unless you bring them all back I'll make sure you never get your hands on him. Now is the Enchanted Forest still there? Answer me!" Killian shouted sounding much like the ruthless pirate he once was.

"YES!" Regina shouted raising her hand to no doubt curse the former pirate and former Knave. Before she could however Henry came running into the room with Ruby just behind him. "Grandpa? Mum what are you doing? Where are my mum and Grandma and Aunt Elektra and Aunt Elan?" Henry asked taking in the scene before him. "They fell through the portal, and they were going to take you away from me I had to stop them." Regina said desperately. "I thought you wanted to be with me?"

"I did. I do but not like this. They're my family too. Why must you use magic to hurt them. You said you'd change. You said you'd change for me." Henry argued.
"But it's hard Henry I've always had magic." Regina refuted tears rolling down her face as she let David go.
"Can't you try for me? I've already lost my mum, aunts and grandma I don't want to lose anyone else. I want to be with you mum but not like this. Please." Henry urged also close to tears from losing half of his family.

"I'll try Henry but where will you go?" Regina consented her voice wavering as the tears fell rapidly down her face. Ruby helped David up off the floor with a groan from his aching muscles. Killian and Will were still pointing their swords at Regina in case she tried to take Henry and run. "With me." David sighed. "As Killian said he still has his grandpa and his two uncles." He said as he wrapped his arm around Henry's shoulders. "Killian, Will I know we haven't got off to a good start but you lost Elektra and Elan too and they may be my daughters but it hurts to admit that I know next to nothing about the amazing young women I know they are. What I'm trying to say is my door is always open if you want to come over to talk or to spend time with Henry and I was wondering if you could tell me about my daughters." David asked a hopeful look in his eyes.

Thinking about it for a moment Killian and Will shared a look before nodding their heads in agreement. David smiled gratefully at them as they all left the town hall in a sombre mood. "We'll get them back you know." Henry said as they entered the Town Square. "How'd you know lad?" Killian asked though he would do anything to get his Elektra back, they were supposed to be celebrating their engagement tonight but he didn't care about the drinks he's missing out on with Will, Elektra and Elan right now he'd give anything to have Elektra back safevin his arms. "That's just how our family is. We always find each other." Henry said wisely for a ten year old.

Nodding his head Killian and Will swore they would stop at nothing until they had Elektra and Elan back here where they belonged. Safe in their arms where they won't let them go for weeks. "You know you're going to have to tell the Croc- Gold about this, mate." Killian told David as the thought suddenly occurred to him. "I doubt he'd be so understanding when you tell him that his precious daughter's have been sent back to the Enchanted Forest." David's only answer was to let out a groan.

----------------- Enchanted Forest Aurora's castle ------------------------

Mulan stepped forward her sword raised ready to attack in case the wraith had come back to try and claim her or Aurora. She tried to get the Princess to stay back but as usual she wouldn't listen. Stealthily moving her way forward she stopped where the noise came from and moved the rubble to see four unconscious women, two blondes and two with inky black hair. What looked to be the two eldest of the four, one blonde haired with some red coloured type clothing and the other a women with short black hair were laying on either side of the other two in a protective manner even while unconscious. Looking closer Mulan could see that the two youngest were even younger than Aurora and were very close. Most likely twins if their very identical faces was an indication and that they were holding hands, as she looked at the four of them again a scowl on her face she noticed that they all looked somewhat similar and must be related somehow.

"Who are they?" Aurora asked curiously looking at the four unconscious women over Mulan's shoulder. Sighing Mulan held her arm out to stop the princess from getting any closer though she didn't relax her grip on her sword one bit. "They are the reason Prince Phillip is gone. They brought the wraith here." Mulan answered tightly.
"WHAT!?" Aurora asked angrily. "They're the reason my Phillip is gone? What are we going to do with them?"
"When they awaken we'll take them back to our safe haven and question them there." Mulan answered as she went and gathered some rope.
