Chapter 9

Bailey

Cruella, Gold, Maleficent, Peter, and I all waited in Gold's cabin for Regina to come back with the picture of a door where this Author was suppose to be, little did they know that the Author wasn't in there, but standing right next to them. Regina walked in, closing the door behind her. “Oh, at last, I feel I've aged a decade waiting for you” Cruella said “well, you certainly look like it” Regina said “where's the page, Regina” Maleficent asked?

Regina was silent “don't tell me you failed” I asked crossing my arms “the page was under a protection spell, something cooked up by the savior. She almost caught me trying to break it. I had to flee” Regina said “are you sure that's what happened” Gold asked and Regina was silent for a second. “Of course I am” Regina said and I knew right there and then that she was lying. “It's just that you've been gone an awfully long time, and yet you come back empty-handed” Gold said and we al stepped towards her.

“I'm not empty-handed, I got this” Regina said with a smile and took out her phone, showing it to us. A picture of the page with a glare on it was shown. “A photograph” Gold said and Cruella took the phone “oh, and an incompetent one, too. That glare ruins any clear view of the door” Cruella said and Peter took the phone. “No, that's not a glare, that's magic. This door has been sealed by it” Peter said and I glared at him making him look at me confused.

“This is the door we've been looking for” Gold said and looked at the photo “you think The Author is trapped in an illustration” Maleficent asked? “That means the Sorcerer imprisoned him in the book” Gold said. “Or her” I added “we need to get it, bring us the page” Gold said. “That won't be easy, the savior isn't about to let it out of her sight” Regina said “don't worry about her. I've got just the thing” Peter said with a smile and he headed to the cliffs over looking most of the town.

The only reason I was letting all of this go threw is because the person who is trapped in the book doesn't even know who trapped him in there. Peter raised his hands and green magic flew from it and crossed the whole town, minus us, putting everyone under a sleeping spell except for the ones who have already been under one. “It's done” Peter said and looked at Gold “you know as much as I dislike you, I'm glade your here” Gold said. “Now, let's get to work” Maleficent said to us.

We all headed to David's apartment where Emma and Hook were sound asleep on the couch. “The savior looks a lot less threatening in this state, doesn't she? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to wring her scrawny neck right now” Cruella said “believe me, I know how you feel. Just towards Hook” I said looking around, knowing the book wasn't here and with Henry but I wasn't to eager for them to find it. “Don't even think about it, I think we can all agree that killing the savior at this point would be ill-advised” Regina said going threw the cupboards.

“You're right about that, yet wrong about the location of the page. It's not here” Gold said and we walked over to Regina who sighed. “We just have to keep looking, the page was here two hours ago. It didn't just grow legs and walk out of here on its own” Regina said “unless someone walked out of here with it” I said “I put the whole town to sleep” Peter said “except those who have been under a sleeping curse and are immune” I said.

“I may know a resourceful young man who's wide awake. One who's very protective of the storybook and all its contents, one who's gonna test his mother's commitment, towards helping me” Gold said to Regina, talking about Henry, making her mad. We headed out of the apartments and down the road. “No one goes near Henry but me. If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with one of my fireballs” Regina said and left.

Gold looked at me “follow her, and do what's necessary to convince the boy. That page is the key. Let's not lose it when we're this close” Gold said and I nodded. “What are we suppose to do” Malifancent asked, go with her, she'll just beat you there” Gold said with a smile and started to walk away. “Where are you off to” “I have other business to attend to” Gold said before leaving.

I ran to the mansion where Henry would be with the book.
