ooc: prose and brackets are both fine, I'll go with it.
[She's not in the Enchanted Forest anymore.
The sound of a fire crackling would fit with where she just was, but not the room she wakes up in. It's cold, dark, and empty, and most importantly it's modern. The light in the room barely works, but it illuminates the space around her enough for Emma to be sure that she's not in the right place. This isn't some strange corner of Storybrooke she's never seen before, it's something else. Somewhere else. It's not how this was supposed to go. She was there, she saw Henry set everything back to the way it was. They should all be at Granny's right now having another victory party, except she's here and she doesn't even know where here is.]
Killian.
[If they didn't go back, what happened to him?
She bolts upright to get a better look around, getting to her feet immediately while she searches for some kind of weapon. Under the bed, she finds a gun that looks like more of a toy than a weapon, but it's all Emma has, so she takes it and hopes it works (it won't). There's no time for her to search the empty room. She needs to find Henry, Hook, and her parents. If she's here, that has to mean they're all here, right? All she has to do is find them.
David always insists that family finds each other, she's hoping that kicks in here.
Stepping out into the hallway, there's no shortage of potential rooms to find them in. It'd be smart to keep her mouth shut, get a sense of her surroundings, maybe see what's around the corner and behind each closed door before she announces herself, but there's no time for rational thought. Emma knows better than to call out when she doesn't know what the hell she's walking into, but that's exactly what she does, going in order and poking her head into the room nearest to her, finding it empty, and moving on to the next one.]

Henry? Hook? Where the hell is everyone?
