New Romantics: Once upon a time fanfic

Seven

I asked Nora to cover for me in school, everyone is freaking out about where Henry's gone but I know exactly where he is.

I should probably tell somewhere he is but he's stressed out right now and I don't want them finding out his spot. I know my mom will just try to take it away from him.

"Good morning," I say as I sit down next to him.

"Mom is angry with me," He says as he looks through the pages of his story book.

"She's not angry, she was just scared." I tell him.

"You sound just like Graham." He tells me.

"It's because we're both telling the truth," I tell him. "What are you looking at."

He keeps stopping at one page in particular, it only stands out because of a name written on the page, Emma.

"It's one of the story's," Henry tells me. "It's Snow White and Prince Charming's story."

"You think it has something to do with Emma?" I ask him.

"It has to," Henry tells me. "It can't just be a coincidence."

"It might just be." I tell him.

"Everyone we know in this town is like one of these characters." He tells me.

"Maybe someone in the town took inspiration from the people here." I say.

"Emma isn't from here," Henry points out. "And why would mom hate fairytales so much if there was no reason."

"She's a grown up," I tell him. "Some people just grow out of fairytales."

"That's not it," Henry says as he flips to a page in the book. "She's exactly like the evil queen."

"Henry, that's not nice." I tell him.

"Take a look at the picture," He tells me as he hands me the book.

I know Henry's not right but my mother does look almost exactly like this drawing. It's definitely just a coincidence though, this town is weird but not that strange.

"I think this proves my point even more." I tell him.

"Why can't you just believe me, Bella." Henry says.

"I really want to," I tell him. "But it's a lot to try and think about."

"No it's not," Henry says. "It's not just mom that's in this."

He goes through the book, comparing the characters to people in our town.

"You make a good point but there's characters in there you can't match to here." I tell him.

"That proves my point more than yours." Henry tells me.

"But why wouldn't they be here too," I ask him. "Characters like Peter Pan, if he's in the book he should be in storybrooke."

"He's on Neverland," Henry tells me as he shows me one of the pages from Peter Pan's story.

"He looks scary," I tell Henry. "Isn't it a bit creepy that he's just got a bunch of people on an island."

"There are his lost boys," Henry says. "They didn't like their life so they came to Neverland."

"Still creepy." I tell him.

"Even if you don't believe me," Henry says. "Can you at least help me?"

"Fine," I say as I put my arm around him.
