All the magic (OUAT Peter Pan)

Chapter 19: fight the mothers

A/N congratulation @Solangelodofathena for getting my question right last chapter. they knew Luke and Jason were from the Percy Jackson series! 

"On my way over buddy. See you soon." Amelia told Henry as she hung up the phone. He wanted to go over and see how his castle did after the storm. She slipped on her brown boots and grabbed her phone and placed it in the pocket of her coat.

"Hey Matt, I'm heading out for a while ok?" Amelia yelled as she climbed the ladder out of the Bellow.

"Alright. Is it Henry or Jacob you're going to see?" he asked, tinkering with a watch.

"Henry. He wants to hang out with me since Regina doesn't need me to babysit him on the weekends anymore. Love you." Amelia explained as she left. In a few minutes she pulled up to the Mill's house where Henry was waiting outside. "Hey buddy. I thought you had to see Archie this morning." She greeted him as he got in.

"No, he had booked himself for me and someone else at the same time. He said I could go a week without him. Now to our castle! Emma is gonna meet us there." Henry exclaimed as she drove them to the park.

She parked the car and Henry rushed out to see if the book was there. Amelia walked over and sat down next to Henry as Emma stood behind them "Why did you bury it here?" she asked Henry.

"We didn't want Regina to find it and Henry said no to keeping it at my house for some reason." Amelia told Emma like it was obvious. She still couldn't believe all the bad things Regina had done. All Amelia had ever seen her do is what she thought was best for Henry.

"Hiding it under your mattress wasn't good enough?" Emma asked.

"That's the first place the Evil Queen would look." Henry said, brushing the sand off the box.

"Here, I got the key." Amelia told him. They thought it would be best if she had the key as Regina sees her the least of the three of them and it was hard for Matt to get downstairs to her bedroom.

That was the one person in Storybrooke Henry wouldn't tell her who was. She had no idea who Matt was. He forbade Emma from telling her as well. It really bothered Amelia that he was keeping it a secret from her. He had never kept a secret from her in his life.

"How about leaving it with me?" Emma asked again. Gees she is asking so many questions today. Like everything she said was a question. Amelia thought as she brushed more sand off the box.

"That's the second place she would look." Henry told his birth mother as he opened the box, revealing the book perfectly intact. "It's still here. Good."

"So your mom doesn't know about the castle?" Emma wondered.

"No. Henry swore me to secrecy about it when he found it and he wanted to share it with you as a good place to meet." Amelia told her, slightly bitter, that Henry told her about it at all. It was their castle. He had practically grown up there. He and Amelia spent every weekend there in the summers, even camping there a few times.

"This is our secret. All of our secret." Henry told his birth mom and chosen sister. He closed the box and he started to cover it up in sand.

"Henry? Henry!" his mother called from behind them. Henry quickly stood up and Amelia finished burying the box. Henry slipped the key back to her without being seen. "I've been looking everywhere for you. You know you have a session with Archie this morning."

Amelia shook her head at Henry. Oh you so owe me for this buddy. "It's my fault you had to look everywhere for him, Regina. I missed Henry so I asked him if we could hang out. He must have forgotten about Archie. He is a busy kid, with you and school and me and Emma. Things slip people's minds all the time."
