003. WHEN YOUR LOST IN THE DARKNESS, LOOK FOR THE LIGHT

Chapter three

"When your lost in the darkness, look for the light."

There was a volunteer outreach program at the hospital where Hope and Henry's class had done there, which was a lot of putting up decorations and talking to other patients who were on that floor, but as they did, Hope turned around seeing a man asleep in a room away from the rest of them, she nudged Henry in the arm, as Henry turned to her, Hope motioned with her head to the room in front of them, and began walking toward's it, as Henry followed after her.

Hope opened the door and stepped inside along with Henry, the door shut behind them, as the two stared at the man, Hope furrowed her brows, feeling like she had seen his face before, as she stepped toward's him, and as she did, she reached her hand out going to touch his hand and as she did, it was only for a second, as the door behind them opened "Hope, Henry," Miss Blanchard said as the two turned to her "we could really use your guys help with the decorations." Miss Blanchard told them.

Is Mr Doe gonna be okay, Miss Blanchard?" Henry asked her "his names not John Doe, honey. That's just what they call people when they don't know who they are." Miss Blanchard shared "so nobody knows who he is?" Hope asked, turning and looking back at him "no. I just bring him flowers on my rounds." Miss Blanchard shared "what happened to him?" Hope asked, as Miss Blanchard walked up to her "I don't know. He's been like this as long as I've been volunteering." she shared "does anyone ever come to see him?" Hope asked.

"No one's claimed him." Miss Blanchard shared "he has nobody?" Hope asked, her voice breaking when she did "yeah. It's quite sad." Miss Blanchard told her, putting her hand on her shoulder, and when she did, Henry smiled at them, seeing that the three were standing there like the family they unknowingly knew they were "you sure neither of you know him?" he asked him, as Hope and Miss Blanchard turned to him "of course I'm sure. Come on. You guys shouldn't be in here." Miss Blanchard shared, leading Hope toward's the door, Henry turned around walking out, followed by Hope and then Miss Blanchard as she shut the door.

After school they headed to the castle as they sat there with Emma, Henry opened his book "I found your guys father." he shared, opening up to a picture of prince Charming "prince Charming." he stated "Henry.." Emma told him "yeah, don't you think mom would've told me that my real dad was lying in a coma?" Hope asked him "oh, come on, look at the scar!" Henry voiced, pointing to it "he has one, too." he told them "so? Lots of people have scars." Emma shared "in the same place. Don't you guys see what this means?" Henry asked "that my parents got into a car accident when I was a baby and then put up for adoption?" Hope asked him.

As Emma motioned to her "yes that makes perfect sense." she shared "no, it's that the curse is keeping you all apart with a coma. Now you're all stuck without each other. We have to tell Miss Blanchard that we found her prince Charming." Henry shared "okay, kid. Telling someone their..soulmate is in a coma is probably not helpful. Not having a happy ending is painful enough, but giving someone unrealistic hope both in love and family is far worse." Emma shared "but what if I'm right? We know who they are, now they have to know." Henry shared "and how do you expect to do that?" Hope asked him.

"By reminding him. You touched his hand today, just like you did when you were a baby. Now maybe if we get Miss Blanchard to read their to John Doe. Then maybe he'll remember who he is." Henry shared "okay." Emma told him, as Hope looked to her with furrowed brows along with Henry "okay?" they asked ""yeah. We'll do it, but we'll do it my way. Let me ask her." Emma shared, as Hope nodded.

That night, while everyone else in the town of Storybrooke was asleep, Hope had got up from her bed, walking over to her boots, she began putting them on her feet, as she turned and grabbed her jacket, she put it on as well, as she headed toward's her bedroom door, opening it, she began walking down the hallway, heading down the staircase, she turned walking toward's the front door, heading down the steps, she made it to the front door, unlocking it, she turned the door handle and stepped out of it.
