Once Upon A Time: Season 3

Chapter 9

We stood over Henry's body shaking him trying to get him to wake up but still he lay there, eyes shut, unconscious... dead?

"Henry, can you hear us?" Regina asked while shaking him

"It's not working! Nothing's working! He has no heart!" I yelled at them, tears dripping down my face as I clutched Henry's lifeless body

"Just hang in there buddy" Neal said to Henry as Pan came flying towards us

"What did you do to him?" Emma asked

"Oh I didn't do anything Emma! It was Henry. He offered me his heart of his own free will" Said Pan

"I'm gonna take it back from you" Emma said lunging at him with her sword. Pan vanished and reappeared behind us, grabbing Pandora's box

"I don't think you have it in you. Rumpelstiltskin didn't. Why should you?" He said looking at the box

"Where is he?" Emma asked

"What did you do?" Neal insisted

"Oh, he's right in this box. Safe and sound. And out of the way. Unfortunately for you, he can't hurt me anymore. And neither can you" Said Pan

"Really?" Emma asked nicking Pan with her sword "How did that feel?"

"Like a tickle" He replied

"I'm gunna kill you!" I yelled standing up and running towards Pan. Neal grabbed me and held me back as I struggled trying to hurt Pan! I needed to kill him! He wasn't going to get away with this

"See you later" He said chuckling and flying off

"How is he?" Emma asked Regina as Neal held me and let me cry

"You're going to be all right, Henry. We're gonna get you home. This preservation spell can keep him in this condition for a while longer. Buy us time to get to Pan" Said Regina

"You were a Lost Boy. Any idea where he went?" Emma asked Neal

"Well, I, I know where he lived. Where his compound..." Neal said before Regina butted in

"That's idiotic. We all know that. Think he's stupid enough to go back? Please" She said

"Enough" Emma said

"Don't tell me what's enough. My son is dying!" Regina yelled

"Our son. So, yes, I know how you feel" Said Emma

"You have no idea what I feel. You have your parents. You have this person; a pirate who pines for you. You have everything and yet you claim to know what I feel? All I have is Henry and I'm not about to lose him because he is everything" Said Regina. She looked over at me, still wrapped in Neal's arms and held her own out for me to go to her. She hugged me while I cried, trying to be strong for me.

"You're right. I don't know what you feel. So what do you want to do? You want to run the show? Run it. How do we save Henry?" Emma asked

"I don't know" Regina replied

"Even if we can find Pan, he was powerful before. With Henry's heart, I-I don't know if we can hurt him" Said Neal

"Yes, we can. Look. You nicked him. He can bleed. We can hurt him. And if we can hurt him, we can kill him. And we will" She replied to Emma. We grabbed Henry and made our way back to the camp where Hook, David and Mary-Margret had gathered the lost boys and some of the water that cured David so that we could hopefully get him to Storybrook to save him!

"So, Gold is in a box. And David can never leave the island?" Mary-Margret asked to clarify

"Mary Margaret, that doesn't matter. I've already made peace with that. What matters is Henry. How much time do we have left?" David asked Regina
