Leah's life (a Once Upon a Time fanfic)

Chapter 47

"Are you alright?" August asked.

"I could ask you the same," I said.

"You first," he said.

"I'm ok, just a little sore. I'm glad your nose went back down. It sure would have been hard to kiss you then all this is over with it so long," I joked.

"I can't wait for that kiss," he smiled.

Just then the door slammed open and my sister came barging in. Cruella got her gun but my mother knocked her out from behind.

"First thing you learn as a bandit is that the back door is usually unlocked," Mom said, then came rushing over to untie me and wrap me up in a hug.

"I missed you," she said.

"I missed you too," I said.

"Are you two ok?" Dad asked.

"We'll survive," August said and then I couldn't contain myself. I jumped into his arms and he planted a long and passionate kiss on my lips. Dad cleared his throat and we broke apart.

"We don't have a lot of time. Let's get out of here," dad said.

"Nobodies going anywhere," Ursula said, grabbing my mother by the throat with one of her tentacles.

But Hook came in and saved the day and returned Ursula's voice to her and reunited her with her father.

"Now let's go home for real," I said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

August and I sat cuddled up with each other on the couch while Henry was showing us some of the things he found out while we were gone. Regina came into the loft, we smiled and waved at her and she went to the kitchen to talk to Emma. All of a sudden August tensed up.

"Emma?" I asked and she and Regina came into the room. August held on to me a little bit tighter.

"What is she doing here?" he asked.

"She's safe Gus, don't worry," I said.

He nodded and calmed down a bit but I could tell he was struggling.

"August we need to talk about how I'm going to keep up my cover with Gold. The only reason I was able to come here was because they think I'm stealing this page," Regina said holding up the page with the door on it. "We didn't find the door at the sorcerer's mansion."

"That's because it's not there," he said.

"But you said you didn't know where it was, and your nose didn't grow," Regina said.

"The only reason I was able to do that is because I didn't know where Henry was keeping the page." he said, taking it from Regina, "This is more than an illustration of the door, this is the door. Our memories and the author before us, if he's anywhere, we're trapped in the book."

"How are we supposed to get it out," Emma whispered while she and Regina had their backs turned to us.

"You'll have to figure that out later, there something wrong with August," I said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We got August to the Fairy's home and they made a bed for him ad we laid him down. I covered him up and took his hand.

"What's wrong? One minute he was awake and the next he was passed out," I asked.

"He's been changed by magic many times. For him to survive this he will have to be very strong," the Blue Fairy said.

"We have a problem," Regina said.

"You guys go, I'll stay with him," I said.

Emma gave me a sad smiled before leaving with Henry and Regina.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the sleeping curse was lifted Emma and my parents came to August and I with the key to the door.

"Emma thinks about this, Gold wanted to turn you dark," mom said.

"How could he do that?" I asked.

"With you," Emma said, "So I'm not really worried about it."

"There is something your not telling me. Why are you so upset with our parents?" I asked.

"I'll tell you later," Emma said, "because right now I have some questions about me that only author you can answer."

"If she was the one that wrote your story," August said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"There have been many authors throughout all time we and the other author are just the most recent of them. The one before your sister he did something, I don't know what but it wasn't good. He started to manipulate the stories instead of record them. If he comes out with our memories then it could be bad news," August said.

"So he could still have the power to alter the book even though I took his place?" I asked.

"I don't know if there have been two authors at the same time but like I said it could go south and fast," August said.

"Then we stop him before he can do anything," Emma said.

"Ok," I said.

Then Emma stood up and inserted the key into the door and in a flash, I was hit with the memories and more and passed out.
