My hunch (which is similar to what others have posted) is that she returned to Normal when she was returned to the EF (when Regina dispelled the original Curse). She was subsequently brought back when Snow cast the second curse, though I doubt that she is under the library (at least not at the moment, though it might make a good lair of TQOD when they move back).

In fact, it is possible that TQOD all fled storybrooke right after Zelena was identified as the WIcket Witch. None of them probably wanted anything to do with Zelena, and sought the first opportunity to slip out of town, not realizing that it was, in fact, a one-way trip. There may be other denizens of the EF that managed to get past the Monkey's and cross the town line. Actually that's not possible, during season 3B anyone who would've crossed the town line would have turned into a flying monkey (see: Little John). TQOD arrived on the land without magic before either the first or second curse.
