No Place Like Home [Jefferson Hatter || OUAT || Mad Red #3]

Chapter 3

At the campsite, Rose Red and Emma were sat on a rock together looking at the parchment.

"Our names as Emma Swan and Rose Red Hatter," Emma said.

"I'd wager the solution to Pan's riddle is a bit more complicated than that," Captain Hook said.

A creature howled in the distance as David and Mary Margaret sat across from them, "Don't hold anything back," Mary Margaret said.

Emma exhaled deeply, "I'm Henry's mother. I used to live in Boston and I was a bail bonds person. I'm now the sheriff of Storybrooke," Emma said.

"That election was a sham!" Regina said as she stood against a tree.

"I was in a coma but I agree, it was sham because I heard you appointed Sidney Glass," Rose Red said.

"Don't you two think maybe you're..." The women looked at Mary Margaret, "You're leaving some things to?" Mary Margaret said.

Emma cleared her throat, "I'm the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, which makes me the product of True Love. I was born in the Enchanted Forest and I was sent through a portal in a tree so I could break a curse," Emma said.

"And you were able to break the curse because you're the..." David said and Emma stayed silent.

"Come on. You don't need to be embarrassed to say it," Mary Margaret said.

"Say what?" Captain Hook asked.

"The 'S' word," Regina said.

Emma looked down at the blank map, "I'm the Saviour," Emma said but nothing happened to the map, "I give up your turn," Emma said and handed it to Rose Red.

Rose Red took it, "Okay... Uh, okay," She cleared, "I'm Rose Red... Biological daughter of Rumpelstiltskin and Milah. I was evil. Then placed under a Sleeping Curse and restarted life with King Leopold and Queen Eva and Snow White. I'm married to my True Love Jefferson, the Mad Hatter, I have a daughter named Grace. I'm the Light Queen of the Enchanted Forest," Rose Red said and nothing happened on the map.

"I don't get it. We said we're the Saviour and the Light Queen. There's nothing I've denied more than that," Emma said.

"I haven't denied anything," Rose Red said.

"No, it's okay. We'll figure it out," Mary Margaret said.

"No, you won't," Regina said as she took the map from Rose Red.

"Bye-bye blank map," Rose Red said as she waved to the map causing Jefferson to chuckle.

"Regina!" Mary Margaret said.

"But I can. I'm beginning to think there isn't a map on here. That doesn't mean it can't lead us to Henry," Regina said.

"I thought we decided that using magic was a bad idea," David said.

"For once I agree with the prince," David raised his eyebrows at him, "Well, I told you we're getting along," Captain Hook said with a smile.

"Brother," Giselle placed her hand on her brother's arm and he looked at her, "I'm going to tell you something... And I need you to listen very carefully to me, okay?... Shut the hell up," Giselle said.

"Okay," Captain Hook said.

"You've gotta teach me that," Rose Red said.

"You don't have a... An older sibling," Giselle said carefully.

"No, but my father is the Dark One and my stepmother is the Evil Queen... Your brother is a villain too, see where I'm going?" Rose Red said.

"Oh! Yeah... Uh... Your father... Can't help you... Regina, you can deal with her... See? You're fine," Giselle tapped her brother's chest, "Tell her she's fine, Killian, you were nearly her stepfather," Giselle said.
