A Potter In Storybrooke

Chapter 56 - And straight on till morning

Telling Henry that Tamara shot his
father was hard on Emma and Henry,
but it was also hard to watch.

Watch as Henry broke down, and then the
bad news kept coming when she told
him about Regina, and soon they were
all on their way back to the apartment.

Luna and Mary take Henry to the apartment and entered the apartment,
eyes widened as Regina who was
standing, hand to the back of her
neck in pain. "Oh, Henry!" She
exclaimed in relief.

"Mom!" Henry shouted, the pair
wrapping their arms around each
other.

The moment was long gone, though,
as the entire building shook and
rumbled, a few glass items crashing
to the floor before the rumbling and
shaking subsided.

Emma looked at the raven haired
woman, "Regina, what that..."

"Yes." She nodded, a worried look
expressed over her features, "The
diamond was activated." And that,
the diamond, was actually a trigger
to destroy the town and any fairytale
character in it.

"So we're all gonna die?" Henry
asked.

Regina shook her head, "You were
born here. So you will live."

Henry looked around at the rest of
his family, "But..." he looked back at
the woman, "we'll be alone."

I'm so sorry, Henry."

"It's not gonna happen. I'm not gonnal
let it." Emma spoke up determinedly.
"You did this, now make it stop."

"I can't. There's no way."

"Well, figure it out. It's your fault." The
blonde snapped aggressively, glaring
at Regina.

"Stop!" Henry shouted, "I already lost
my dad. I don't want to lose anyone
else. We have to work together."

"From the mouths of babes," a new
voice spoke, Captain Killian Hook
himself walking into the apartment
like he owned the place, "I'd say the
lad has a point."

"What in the world is that pirate even doing here?" Luna muttered under her breath.

David immediately delivered a punch
to the pirates nose, "That's for the
last time we met."

"Bloody hell!"

He then pulled out a gun, "And tell
us why you're here before I use
something else, other than my fist."

"I think threatening to kill me is a
bit redundant when we're all about
to die anyway." Hook stated.

Emma deciding to add her own bit, "No
thanks to you. Regina just told us
you were working with Tamara and
Greg to get your revenge."

"Well, that was before they told me I
had to die to get it."

Emma turned her gaze to her father,
"We don't have time for this. We have
a real problem."

"Which is why l'm here." Hook said,
"Because staring death in the face
has made me realize, if there's one
thing I want more than my revenge,
it's my life." He reasoned, "'So shall
we stop this thing now and then
resume bickering?"
