As we returned from the woods after Henry's desire to get rid of magic, Dad started talking about how August wasn't answering his phone and was supposed to be at the station. Just then, I looked over at the station to see August stumbling outside but instead of being human, he was made out of wood.

"August! August!" Emma started shouting and ran towards him. 

"Oh! My child. My boy. My boy. What happened to you?" Marco says almost crying as he kneels and holds him in his arms.  

"I'm so sorry, papa." August cries. 

"No. There is nothing to apologize for. Everything is gonna be all right." Marco replies.

"Y/n..." August says looking at me. 

"August," I say with a tear running down my cheek. I haven't known August long but all I know is that he's Pinocchio and he's been a great person.

"Y/n... she's...She..." August gasps then closes his eyes. No. 

"Oh, no. Not again." Marco sobs as he hugs his son. 

"August?" I turn around and see Neal standing there. 0

"No. It can't end this way. He was supposed to get a second chance." Marco said begging for his son back.

"What happened?" Neal asked. 

"Someone killed him to stop him from telling us something. He used his last dying breath to warn us. I will not let that be in vain," I explained to him. At this point, I was crying because Pinocchio was my best friend in the enchanted forest, and now he's gone. I'm going to miss him and our scavenger hunts in the castle, looking for food or something to keep us entertained.

"Brave, truthful, and unselfish. Don't you see what this means? That's what Pinocchio was supposed to be." Henry says. 

"There's still hope. We need The Mother Superior." I interrupt Henry. He might come back. Pinocchio. 

"I'm here, Y/n." Mother Superior says as she appears out of nowhere.

"What does Henry mean?" Mom says. How does she not understand what's happening right now?

"I was able to turn Pinocchio into a real boy after he sacrificed his life for Marco's. If his actions today were indeed brave, truthful, and unselfish, then you're right. There's a chance I can do it again." Mother Superior explained. 

"Please, I beg of you. Try." Marco cries. Mother Superior looks glances at him and wave her wand over Pinocchio and he turns into a boy. Boy? 

"Father?" Pinocchio asks. 

"Pinocchio. Look. Look." Marco yells with joy. 

"I'm a real boy. I'm a real boy!" Pinocchio yells. Pinocchio wasn't an adult anymore, instead, he was an 8-year-old boy. My best friend is gone and I won't see him again until he grows up.

"Do better this time, Pinocchio." Mother Superior 

"Pinocchio? I have to ask you a question. I need you to think hard, okay? Before you turned into a little boy, you were trying to tell us something very important. Do you remember? You were trying to warn us about something." I asked him, trying to get some sort of answer to what August was saying a few minutes ago.

"I... I don't remember. If I did, I would be truthful. I promise." He responded. I nodded and stood up trying not to be hurt by the fact I lost my best friend, and went over and hugged Dad. He knew we were close and could tell I was upset about it.

The next day Mary-Margret and Dad wanted to show Emma and I something so we got in Dad's truck and drove to the middle of nowhere. As we came to a stop, i opened the door and saw nothing. What are they wanting to show us? I thought they needed to show us something important and not the scenery.
