Summary: Kathryn was still haunted by everything that happened to her when things began to change in Storybrooke.


At times, when she was alone in her house, Kathryn thought about how she was treated by Regina. For one, she was used by Regina to keep Mary Margaret and David apart. If she knew they were Snow White and her Prince Charming in the land she was snatched from, she would've never even been with David in the first place. Then Regina didn't tell Kathryn about a curse that prohibited anyone except for a few people in Storybrooke from leaving. It would've been hilarious, but maybe she could've gotten some sort of law degree online instead of applying to Suffolk University Law School and planning to restart her life in Boston.

If anything, she wouldn't have crashed her car near the town limits.

She woke up in what she thought was a prison cell. She was given food and drink. Most likely it was drugged. With what, she didn't know. But it was drugged.

She remembered fighting off someone--maybe it was Sidney, maybe it wasn't--and then escaping back into Storybrooke, in an alley near Granny's.

After she was found, she was sent to the hospital to rest and be detoxed. And then she learned that Sidney and especially Regina were never her friends.

Kathryn wanted nothing to do with Mary Margaret, David, Sidney or Regina after it was over. She couldn't ever forgive Sidney or Regina, but it was too early to try to forgive Mary Margaret or David. She stayed in her house unless she needed food or to run errands.

But sometimes she needed someone to hold her, someone to talk about how awful some of Storybrooke's residents could be. And that was why she called Frederick.

When Kathryn opened the door to her house, Frederick noticed she was upset.

"Do you want to talk about it again?"

Kathryn, with tears in her eyes, nodded.

Frederick hugged Kathryn and let her cry into his shoulder. Someday she'd be able to leave her home and talk to the residents of Storybrooke again. But for now, she needed comfort. Frederick's shoulder would do.
