Chapter 9: Totally drunk.In Stroybrooke.Henry and Jackson are in a shop.They are both looking in a marvel comic.The Hulk and Wolverine were fighting against each other in the comic."What are you reading?" A girl asked them from behind.The girl had green eyes and blond hair.They both looked at the girl and Henry answered, "The Hulk.. VS Wolverine.""Who are you?" Jackson asked."I'm Ava. You are in Miss Blanchard's class right?" Ava asked while she pointed at Henry.Henry smiled while he slowly nodded with his head."Are you almost done Ava?" A smaller boy of the same age as Ava asked.Henry's smile disappeared almost immediately.The boy had brown hair and brown eyes."This is my brother Nicholas." Ava said while she looked at him for a few seconds."Hi." Nicholas said shy."Hi, I am Jackson and this is Henry." Jackson said."Come let's go." Nicholas said and then he walked away."Do you two want to come out?" Ava asked.Henry's big smile appeared again and he said, "Sure."Ava nodded a little bit, with a small smile.Henry put the comic back and closed his back pack.Jackson and Henry walked with Ava and Nicholas to the exit of the shop but were stopped by the owner of it."Where the hell do you think you're going?" The shop owner asked and after that he sneezed very hard."Open up your bag." The shop owner said."What?" Henry asked a little bit confused."Sir I can guarantee you that Henry has done nothing wrong. I was with him the whole time." Jackson said."Don't think I didn't saw your little robbery. Now open the bag." The shop owner said."But I didn't take anything." Henry said more confused.The shop owner opened Henry's back pack very fast and looked inside.After a few seconds he looked at Henry and took a few brand new candy bars out of the back pack."And a liar too." The shop owner said, while he held the candy bars up so they all could see them.Henry and Jackson started to understand why Ava talked with Henry.They both looked at her.Henry was really disappointed, because the one and only Gretel, from Hansel and Gretel had talked to him and was making him look like a thief.Henry looked her straight in the eye and said, "That's why you were talking to me. So you could put that stuff in there."Ava looked at the ground too ashamed of what she had done to Henry."Henry, shut it. And you two, just who do you think you are." The shop owner asked.Ava and Nicholas both looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do now.__________________________________________________________ In the enchanted forest.The evil queen was walking through the forest so she could take a breath of fresh air, without being among Snow's people.Once in a while she could hear hiccups, but that was probably just her imagination, that was running wild.However after a while it didn't stop, which could mean two things.Option one: Everything that happened to her thanks to Snow White has driven her crazy.Option 2: Someone who had the hiccups was following her.She hoped that is was option 2, so she looked behind her and saw (much to her dismay) Pitch Black, the one and only Bogeyman.He was walking towards her on a strange way.Actually it was more hobbling than walking and his face was red, almost as red as a tomato."Hi miss. You're the sweetest candy thing in the universe. I could eat you. Literally." Pitch said, on the moment he had stopped walking, when he stood right in front of her.He also talked on a strange way and it almost seemed like his accent was totally gone and his breath just smelled like alcohol, which explained many things. "What. The hell. Are you talking about?" The evil queen asked confused."May I taste your butt or those hanging things?" Pitch asked.She immediately understood what he meant and said in disgust; "Not a chance."Pitch clasped his hands together and asked, "Pllleeaasssee.?" And after that he pouted his lips, like a child when they really want something and think they are going to get it when they look cute.The evil queen just ignored it and walked away, but was followed by him, much to her dismay.__________________________________________________________In Storybrooke.Regina had arrived at the shop were Henry and Jackson where."I'm sorry madam mayor, but your son was shop lifting." The shop owner said.Regina looked at Henry and asked, "Were you?" Henry directly shook his head very fast like his life depended on it."Look for yourself." The shop owner said, while he pointed at Henry's backpack, that was lying on the pay desk.Regina walked to it and looked at the all the candy that was lying next to his backpack.The candy was at least enough to eat a few days."My son doesn't eat candy and he knows that it's very low to steal. It were obviously those two or Jackson. " Regina said.Then she walked to Henry, took his hand and walked away with him, while she said, "We're going."Jackson watched them walk away, until they were out of his sight.Then he looked at the shop owner and asked, "May I leave now?""None of you will leave, until someone speaks the truth and tells me that he put the candy in Henry's backpack." The shop owner said.__________________________________________________________In the enchanted forest.Fifteen minutes had passed since the evil queen had walked away from Pitch and he was still following her and begging her to let him taste her.It was really irritating her on so many levels, that she just wanted to kill him right here, right now, but he's a spirit and thanks to the man in the moon they can't get murdered by a human.5 minutes passed and Pitch started to beg louder and try to grab her hands.After 10 seconds it became too much for the evil queen, so she stopped, turned to face Pitch and yelled, "Shut up! Please, for God's sake shut up!"Pitch began to smile and asked, "So you're going to let me taste?""No! Where are the guardians, when you need them?" The evil queen asked."North's at the pole. Bunnymund is probably in in his rabbit hole. Toothiana is in her palace on Punjam Hy Loo. Jack is probably at his lake and Sandman is on his island in the sky." Pitch said.A devilish smile appeared on her face and she asked, "Which one of them hates you the most?"__________________________________________________________In Storybrooke.Mr. Overland walked into the shop and Jackson could tell, that he wasn't all that happy about the fact that he just got a call from the shop owner that told him, that Jackson may have put candy in Henry's backpack to take it with them, without paying any of it."Mister Overland, he's here." The shop owner called out.Mr. Overland directly walked to the owner and his son.He gave Jackson a disappointing look, like Jackson actually did it."I didn't steal the candy. I swear. I mean, why would I ruin these." Jackson said and the he pointed at his sparkling, snow white teeth."Jackson Yukio Overland, don't lie." Mr. Overland said grumpy."I'm not telling you lies. I know that I skip school pretty much, but I'm not a thief." Jackson said."Really? Should I really believe that these two younger kids have stolen it and put in Henry's backpack, while you were the one, who was the whole time with Henry and not them?" Mr. Overland asked."Yes. You should." Jackson said.Then Emma walked into the shop, to the shop owner and looked at Ava and Nicholas. "Have you called their parents?" She asked."Yes, but the line was disconnected." The shop owner said."Did you guys gave up a fake number?" Emma asked.Ava and Nicholas both shook their heads."Which one of you put the candy in Henry's backpack?" Emma asked."I really didn't do it, besides why would I? Henry's is my best friend and probably the only one, who still wants to play and isn't looking at the screen of his mobile all the time." Jackson said."You're speaking the truth. Jackson, you and you father may leave." Emma said.Jackson looked up at his father and said, "I told you."Mr. Overland and Jackson then walked away, but before they left the shop Mr. Overland stopped next tot Emma and said, "Have a good day miss Swan."After they had left the shop Mr. Overland said, "I'm sorry that I didn't believe you, but it's just that you lied pretty much about the whole skipping school thing, that I never really can tell if you lying or telling the truth.""Mom would have known." Jackson said.The rest of the short walk to home, they didn't say one single word to each other.Mr. Overland opened the door with his house keys and closed it when he and Jackson where both inside their house.Jackson went upstairs, to his room and locked the door behind him."Jackson, I really am sorry. Please, come downstairs. I'll make pancakes..." Mr. Overland said.Jackson directly unlocked the door and stuck his head out of the door opening."What kind of pancakes are we talking about?" Jackson asked."You may chose." Mr. Overland said."Great. I'm coming." Jackson said enthusiastic.__________________________________________________________In the enchanted forest at Bunnymund's place.Bunnymund was painting some eggs even though Easter was just a few days ago.He was just bored and there weren't much things he could do.He could go to one of the guardians, but it was almost evening, so Tooth and Sandy were busy preparing for the children.North was at the pole of course and watching how his yetis were making the toys and the elves were doing.. whatever elves may be doing and Jack was probably at his lake or with a kid.Bunnymund didn't really wanted to talk to North, because those nice, little chats mostly ended up in big argues about which holiday was better: Easter or Christmas.Of course Easter is better, but North would never admit that.Who would want to sit in front of a fireplace the whole time, because it's too cold.Bunnymund could go and talk to Jack, but then he would first have to find him, because if Jack wasn't at his lake, he could be everywhere except a few places.Those places were: under a bed, in a wardrobe and dark places, the creepy forests where most of the holes that lead to Pitch's hideout were.All the children, who knew that Pitch Black was real, feared him, because they know many terrible things he does, he even tells them about those things to make them even more scared then they already are and those things are almost nothing compared to the worst things he did.Of course Pitch doesn't want them to be extremely scared of them too fast, because that would ruin his fun in making them afraid of him.Jack may be a teenager, but he was also one of them who feared Pitch.Suddenly Bunnymund heard a very soft sound.It sounded like somebody was saying: please, but the sound was too far away from Bunnymund to tell.After a while he heard it again, but it was louder this time and it came from behind him.There was something familiar about the voice and it wasn't pleasant.Bunnymund laid the painted egg on the ground, stood up and turned to look in the direction of the voice.There were two little, tiny, glowing, yellow points coming from that direction and there were more shadows than normal.Bunnymund directly knew, who was coming, so he grabbed his boomerang from its holster, but he would still be surprised of what was coming."Pitch ya bloody coward! Leave immediately or I'll come ta ya an' kick ya're butt!" Bunnymund yelled.Not much later Bunnymund heard the voice of the evil queen."Hurry up, you're useless shadow. I don't want to spent another minute with you." The evil queen said quite angry, but that wasn't a surprise anymore since she was angry every day, because her revenge on Snow never seemed to work.Bunnymund waited until he could see the evil queen and the bogeyman, because the evil queen might have a whole army with her and a boomerang won't help you then.Much to Bunnymund's surprise the evil queen was all alone with the bogeyman."I don't know what ya two have in mind, but it won't work." Bunnymund said, ready to throw his boomerang any second."I'm not working with this thing." The evil queen said, while she pointed at Pitch."I knew you love me, my sweet, little candy." Pitch said."Stop now an' leave or I'll use this." Bunnymund said threating."Fine. I'll leave." The evil queen said and then she disappeared in dark purple smoke and left Pitch and Bunnymund alone.__________________________________________________________ In Storybrooke at Jackson's house.The doorbell rang and Mr. Overland was gone.Jackson walked to the door and opened it, to Henry standing on the doorstep."Hey, Henry. Do you want to play or something?" Jackson asked."Yep and I need to tell you something very important." Henry said."Has it to do with operation Cobra?" Jackson asked."No, it's less important, but it feels more important to me." Henry said."Okay, come in." Jackson said.Henry walked inside and Jackson closed the door behind Henry's back.Then they both walked to the sitting room and sat on the black sofa with dark blue, light blue and white pillows."So what do you want to tell me?" Jackson asked."About my dad. He was a saviour, just like mom." Henry said."Really? Do you know where he is?" Jackson asked."He's... dead. He died saving a family from a fire." Henry said sadly."I'm sorry, I didn't know it." Jackson said.He knew how it was like to have lost a family member."It's okay, it's not your fault and besides.. I didn't even know him." Henry said.A long silence fell and the two boys just stared at each other not knowing what to say or what to do.Jackson was the person to break the silence after a few long minutes."Soo what do you want to do?" Jackson asked.He already had a few things in mind, but those were things like throwing toilet paper on the roof of Mr. Aster, or putting a headband with rabbit ears on Aster's head when he sleeps and make whiskers with a pivot on his cheeks so he would look a bit like a bunny."We could pretend to be on an adventure to save a princess from a terrible fate." Henry suggested."Okay, but only as long as we don't come near the shop, because I think that he still thinks that we had something today with the robbery." Jackson answered."Deal." Henry said with a smile and then the two boys walked out of Jackson's house onto the street, so they could start their own imaginary adventure.Of course they began playing at the wooden castle.In Henry's imagination, while they are playing.Knight Jackson was walking towards the throne room of the king to deliver some terrible news, about a princess.His silver armour shone in the lights of the torches that were hanging on the walls, casting big, dark shadows on the walls and corners.His blue cape moved a little bit with every step he took.Not much later he arrived in the throne room.The throne room was one of the biggest rooms there were in the castle.There in the throne room was king Henry sitting on his big, golden throne, with a few soft, satin, red pillows on it.Henry was sitting on it, while he was day dreaming and he totally didn't notice that Jackson was kneeling in front of him. Henry wore his armour with a short, dark green cape and the little, golden crown.People often called him knight Henry, instead of king, because he wore his armour so many times.He says that he wears it so much is so he can help people as fast as possible.Jackson waited impatiently, until he realised that it could take a few hours till the king would notice him.So Jackson interrupted Henry's thoughts by clearing his throat, which didn't work.He tried it a few more times and then he just stood up, walked to the king and touched his knee.Henry got startled form his thoughts and looked around to search for the thing that startled him.Of course he was looking into the wrong direction."King Henry, I'm here." Jackson said.Henry looked at him and asked: "What's wrong?""I'm sorry to tell it, but.. princess Ianthe has been kidnapped from her castle in Anoroc. She's being held in a tower by a creepy, ugly, old woman, who thinks that Ianthe is a goddess.""Why would she think that?" Henry asked, but then he realised that that is the last thing he needs to worry about."I mean.. That's terrible. We must save her now, before something bad happens to her, like her being sacrificed in a volcano when the moon is full." Henry said.Jackson looked puzzled at Henry and asked, "Why would someone do such a thing to a goddess?""Some native tribes sacrifice their gods and I don't know why, but gods and goddesses are immortal, so they can't really die. I think it's their way of helping the god or goddess with getting back to their homes." Henry said."Really? And what if the god or goddess says that they don't want to be sacrificed?" Jackson asked."I don't know, but I guess that they still sacrifice them or find out that the person isn't a god or goddess." Henry answered."You guys do know, that every second you're spending here is another wasted second you could have saved Ianthe." Someone in the throne room said.__________________________________________________________ In the enchanted forest.Pitch looked around and finally asked: "Where's the girl of candy. I haven't tasted her yet.""What are ya bloody talking about?" Bunnymund asked."About the girl who poofed away." Pitch said.Bunnymund studied Pitch for a time and asked: "Are ya drunk?""No, I'm not." Pitch said."Yes, ya are. I'm going ta bring ya ta North an' we'll see what we will do with ya." Bunnymund said.It stayed silent for a few seconds, until Pitch put his mouth open and asked, "How soft is your fur?""Why do ya ask that?" Bunnymund asked furious.He was really starting to find this drunk Pitch even more annoying than Jack and Pitch had only been in Bunnymund's domain for something like five minutes.Then Pitch started to walk to Bunnymund, while bunnymund walked backwards and bumped against one of his big stone eggs, who served as guards for his domain.Bunnymund just remembered that North would be very busy with the making of the new toys since it was almost winter and it would only be a few months until Christmas.If he would get North to come to him, he would have his revenge on North since North made him come to him a few days before Easter and Bunnymund would have an excuse for it."Get North." Bunnymund whispered to the stone egg and then he started to run away before Pitch could touch his fur.The egg watched Pitch go after Bunnymund for a while and then he disappeared in a hole, that had appeared under him.The hole closed directly after him so he couldn't be followed.After all they didn't want Pitch to accidently fall into the hole and get to North, because he could cause a lot of problems there.__________________________________________________________ Back in the imagination of Henry while he and Jackson are playing.Jackson and Henry were walking fast towards their horses.Both of them had a shining, quite heavy, silver sword with them.If you saw how they were holding the swords, you would think that they weren't heavy, but they seriously are, which means that Henry and Jackson are quite strong for their age."What do you know about the woman, who kidnapped her?" Henry asked."Apart from the fact that she's creepy and old and ugly, I don't know anything about her." Jackson answered."How do you know that she's creepy, ugly and old." Henry asked."That's what a knight told me, when I was close to Anoroc." Jackson said."How do you that he's speaking the truth?" Henry asked, while they both climbed onto their horses."I don't know, but we will find it out, sooner or later." Jackson said."Okay, let's go." Henry said and then the horses started to run to the tower where Ianthe is being held hostage.After a few minutes they arrived at the extremely high tower and to their dismay, it didn't have a door, but it did have a window.Unfortunately for them the window was just under the small roof, so they would have to go all the way up if they wanted to save Ianthe. "You didn't say that the tower was that high." Henry said, knowing that they didn't have enough rope."That's because I didn't know that it would be that high." Jackson replied."How are we ever going to get up there in time?" Henry asked."We could use our swords to climb up." Jackson suggested."How? We only have two swords and one person needs two swords to climb all the way up and throwing with swords isn't actually a good idea." Henry said."You can hold on to my back like a koala and then I climb up with the two swords and then nobody needs to throw with swords." Jackson said."That's a great idea." Henry said.Jackson went down on one knee, so Henry could hold Jackson back easily.After Henry was holding onto Jackson's back like it was his favourite teddy bear, Jackson stood up, but it didn't went as fast as planned, because Henry was heavier then he thought Henry would be."Man, what have you eaten this morning?" Jackson asked."Breakfast." Henry replied."Seriously? It's more like you eat a whole cow." Jackson said.Then they suddenly heard something breaking.The sound came from within the tower."Quick Jackson, you must start climbing or we will be too late." Henry said."You have to give me your sword first." Jackson said."Oopsie." Henry said softly."Oopsie! What oopsie?" Jackson asked."Yeah... I kind of lay the sword next to the horse." Henry said.Jackson went back on one knee and said: "Go get it."Henry let Jackson's back loose and walked to his sword.He grabbed his sword, walked back to Jackson, gave him the sword and hold Jackson's back again.Jackson stood up again, walked to the tower, put the swords between the stone of the tower and started to climb up, using the swords to climb up.Meanwhile Henry tightened his grip on Jackson's back like if he would let go of him, he would die the most terrible death in the world.Jackson muscles in his arms were starting to hurt a little bit thanks to the climbing and the fact that Henry was holding onto his back wasn't really helping.Lucky for them the tower wasn't 100 meters high otherwise, they wouldn't make it, since it would be too hard for Jackson and Henry.__________________________________________________________ At the north pole of the enchanted forest.North was very busy with giving the yetis instructions, making sure the elves didn't destroy everything and thinking of new toys that would fill the eyes of the children with wonder.After giving a yeti a map of one of his new creations, he turned around.Then north remembered something he forgot to say, so he turned back to talk to the yeti again, but instead he was facing a big, stone egg.His heart missed a beat, because he hadn't been expecting that."What are you doing here?" North Asked.A hole appeared next to the egg.North looked at it and then back at the stone egg and asked: "Do you want me to follow you?" The egg walked into the hole and was gone.North looked at the hole for a time, thinking that it may be a joke of Bunnymund, but if it wasn't he could be in extremely danger.North jumped into the hole that directly closed behind him.It only took a mere seconds before North arrived at Bunnymund's warren.The scent of grass filled North's nostrils.North took a deep breath and enjoyed the nice, warm spring like weather, until he was interrupted by Bunnymund who was yelling, somewhere in the distance: "Back off ya bloody shadow!"North directly knew that it wouldn't mean anything good and had probably to do with Pitch so he turned around and saw that Bunnymund was struggling to get out of Pitch's arms, while Pitch was hugging him like Bunnymund was his favourite stuffed animal.North actually found it funny what he was seeing and wished that he had something so that would make a painting of it, but then in just a few seconds.North waited two minutes until he decided that Bunnymund had suffered enough, so he walked to them and pulled Pitch away from him.When North let Pitch loose, he immediately went to Bunnymund and tried to hug him again, but North grabbed him by his arms and this time he didn't let him go."Bunny can you tell me why Pitch is doing this?" North asked."He's as drunk as a pirate on a party." Bunnymund said."Is this why you wanted me to come?" North asked."Yeah, because I don't know what ta do with him." Bunnymund said."Oh, but I do." North said with a smile.__________________________________________________________ Back in the imagination of Henry while he and Jackson are playing.Finally Henry and Jackson reached the window, that was also the only way in and out of the tower.Henry slowly climbed into the tower and was followed by Jackson, who later held the swords out of the walls.It was very dark in the room.The room was filled with the smell of blood and at the floor was at some parts wet."We're too late." Henry said and suddenly a candle went on and filled the part of the room where they were standing with light.Behind the candle stood Ianthe and there was nothing wrong with her.There wasn't any wound or bruise on her whole body.Her dark brown hair was tied in a knot and she had purple and yellow flowers in her hair.She wore a white dress with yellow and purple embellishment."Surprise." Ianthe said happy."You're alive." Jackson said confused."Yes, of course I am. Why wouldn't I?" Ianthe asked."A guy told me, that you were kidnapped by a creepy, old lady and that you were being held in this tower. And when we came here we smelled blood and it was dark and the floor is wet." Henry said."I still smell blood." Jackson said."That's because my aunt had killed the lady, who kidnapped me and then I cleaned the floor. Then I thought this was the perfect location for my party, so my aunt went to a guy and told him to say to you if you would pass by, that I was kidnapped by a creepy lady, but that she's dead now and I was going to give a party here." Ianthe said.Henry looked at Jackson and asked: "How good did you listen to him?""Well I kind of got bored of him, so I went away after he mentioned that she was kidnapped." Jackson said with a sheepish grin.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in reality.Suddenly the sound of let it go from frozen came from Jackson's mobile phone.Jackson put his mobile phone on and looked at the screen.On the screen stood in big white letters Dad.Jackson touched the green rectangle."Hi, dad." Jackson said.__________________________________________________________ In Pitch lair in the enchanted forest.North was carrying an unconscious Pitch and Bunnymund was carrying a wooden seat and some rope.North had beaten Pitch on his head, until he fell unconscious and then they went to North's place for the wooden seat and the rope.Bunnymund placed the seat somewhere in the middle of Pitch's dark lair.North put Pitch on the seat and bound him onto it with the rope."How long do ya think it would take for him ta get the rope loose?" Bunnymund asked."I don't know and only time will tell." North said and then they walked out of Pitch's lair and hoping Pitch would be stuck on that seat for eternity.__________________________________________________________ In Storybrooke.Henry walked to the police car were Emma was sitting in and reading something."What's that?" Henry asked when he reached the car."Just an old file." Emma said.Then she saw the box he was holding and asked, "What's that?""Pumpkin pie. I.. I thought you would like some." Henry said.Emma nodded and then Henry asked, "It was pumpkin pie right?""Right." Emma said and then she stepped out of the car and walked to Henry."Henry.. about your father.." Emma said."Yeah?" Henry asked hoping he would get more information about the good deeds of his father.They both smiled to each other and Emma said, "I'm glad I told you.""Me too." Henry replied.Then he hugged her and when he stopped Emma said, "Gimme that."Henry gave her the box and opened it, while she leaned on the police car."What you did with Ava and Nicholas, you really are changing things." Henry said happy, because she's doing what she's supposed to do to break the curse and she doesn't even notice it.Suddenly the sound of a motor filled the streets.Henry and Emma looked at the place where the sound was coming from and saw a motor coming towards their way.The motor stopped in front of them.The driver of the motor was a man with a black helm on and a leather black jacket.On the back of the motor was a big, brown box.The man walked towards them on a strange way and said, "Hi.""Hey." Emma said back."Is this Storybrooke?" The man asked.Henry knew that he was the man, Tsar Lunar had been talking about."Yeah." Emma answered while she nodded with her head."Any place to get a room around here?" The man asked."Uh, you're staying?" Henry asked confused.This confusion was fake of course, because he couldn't let Emma notice that he sort of knows what the man's doing here."That's the plan. Just for a bed." The man said."Granny's bed and breakfast is on this road. Just two blocks from here." Emma said."Thank you." The man said and then he walked back to his motor."Hey, I didn't catch your name." Emma said."That's cause I didn't give it." The man replied and then he drove away.Emma looked at Henry and said, "I thought you said that strangers don't come to Storybrooke.""They don't." Henry said, while he looked at the man who was driving away on his motor.
