*Anna's POV*

My body wakes up before I even open my eyes this morning. I'm groggy and slow, my eyes heavy while I toss myself into a sitting position, legs over the side of the bed. A yawn escapes my mouth, I rub my eyes and slowly bring them awake from what felt like an extremely long dream.

I look around to see the usual room of Granny's Inn I have been sharing......

Wait a damn minute.

What?

Granny's Inn?

Shouldn't.....shouldn't we all be in the enchanted forest?

A wave of confusion washes over me like I've never felt before. Have I gone crazy?

Christian, still asleep next to me stirs before I shake him awake. "What?" He asks annoyed.

"LOOK!" I smack his arm. He opens his eyes, obviously just as heavy as mine was. He takes a deep breath but doesn't exhale. His brows turn to the same confusion as he looks around the room.

"What the hell."

"What's the last thing you remember?"

"We...were at the town line. Before the fog took us...Henry and Emma."

"If that's the case, then why are we here?" He sits up, looking at the others sprawled out over the room.

"Hey!" He yells. "Nitwits, get up!"

I get up to shake them awake. Ian, Ben and George are slumped over the couch and chairs. "What's the deal?" Ben groans.

"Guys!" I shout. "Get up, look around." They all slowly come to, all looking at each other with the same confused ass look.

"Something ain't right." George mumbles.

There is a knock on our room door. Christian looks though the peep hole before opening it to reveal Oliver on the other side with a bunch of other lost boys behind him.

"What the hell happened?" He asks us.

"We're as clueless as the next person." I tell him. "Get the others up, let's meet in the Diner. This room is way too small for everyone to be in here." I grab my phone laying on the nightstand before shoving past everyone and heading downstairs. As I walk, I find Regina's contacts and call it. It just rings and rings with no answer. So then I try Snow and once again it goes to voicemail.

The Diner is empty, the silence deafening. I pull out a stool and wait for all the boys to come down. There is nobody outside on the sidewalk either; no cars driving by. What if we got left here and everyone else was taken back to the enchanted forest?

The boys start to file in, some with worried looks on their faces.

"We're missing seven lost boys." Oliver briefs me.

"What?" I look around taking in all the faces. Austin, Draven, Emmett, Kurt, Finn, Steven and Zach are all missing from the group.

"If there's some missing that means we must have been in the enchanted forest" Ian says.

"Well, some time has past, thats for sure." Ben announces.

"How do you know?" Deven asks.

Ben pauses as if it's obvious but struggles to tell us. "Uh...well for one Anna has...a chest now."

I look down, feeling myself blush. He's right, I have grown more and it's looking down at myself that I notice the blue jewel on my finger. "I've never seen this before." I hold it up to them.
