Chapter three

Now with two extra people willing to help Henry save his family, things seemed to be looking up. He was in class one day when out of the blue he remembered something his mom, Emma, said years ago,

"'This is how good wins. You do something good and people see it and then they want to help you.'"

"'Maybe you're right.'"

"'You see Henry, we don't have to fight dirty.'"

Of course, that had been when she was running for Sheriff but in a way her words still held truth. Maybe he had been wrong thinking that having the mind set as a villain to find Isaac would be best. He smiled at the memory. It wasn't until he felt an elbow in his ribs that he returned to reality. His teacher Mr. James was standing at the front the class looking expectantly at Henry.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't listening," Henry admitted.

With a sigh Mr. James repeats, "Where are the quad muscles located in the body?"

"The thigh," Henry answers.

At the end of the day, science was his last subject of the day, Mr. James asked Henry to stay back for a minute. This caused students to 'oooh' as they always do at moments like that. Henry stayed back packing his bag slowly. He waited until the door closed behind the last students before he looked up at Mr. James.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Henry, I know sometimes life gets messy and hard to deal with," Mr. James began with a soft smile, "I've been in you position before, you just have to have hope."

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm not sure what you think I'm going through," Henry says confused.

"Your parents are going through a divorce, it's actually quiet a common thing. Things will get better and they will still love you."

"My parents are not getting a divorce. My moms aren't even married. They are fine. Everything will work out," was all Henry said to a stunned Mr. James. As he walked out of the class room he heard, "Two moms? Hmm," from Mr. James, then he walked to the car pick up where Madeline was waiting for Alex to get them.

Meanwhile at the Kennedy house Lux's older sister, Avery, was finishing up her job, she worked from home that way she and Lux could spend time with each other. The dark haired nineteen year old had become Lux's guardian after a horrible incident with their parents. Since Avery was seventeen at the time and had a job, transportation, and a home she saved Lux from the foster system. As she "clocked out" the door knob turned and Lux walked into the house, bag slung over one shoulder, and reddish brown hair that had been in a nice bun this morning, now sat in a pony bun. A pony bun is when you pull your hair out of a bun, but half of the hair falls all the way through the bun.

Lux walks into her room and flops onto her bed after tossing her bag to the ground. Avery pulls up the window she had up since Lux told her about Henry's problem. It took some late hours and very meticulous searching but she found some interesting things about this Storybrooke. Avery got up from the desk and walked to Lux's room. Lux was laying on her bed looking through her music list on her phone.

"You got Homework?"

"Yes."

"You hungry?"

"Yep."

"You want Taco Bell?"

Lux slams her phone down on the mattress, "YES!!"

"You want to invite Henry?"

"Sure," Lux answers nonchalantly as she picks up her phone picking up where she left off.

A half hour later Avery was pulling up to the Lester's home and honked for Henry. Books in hand the teen steps out of the house calling to the foster mom he would be back later. Henry walked over to the well loved, red, '99 Dodge Neon. Getting into the back seat and shutting the door he looks at Avery in the rear view mirror.

"I brought the books for you to look at, see if you can find anything. I have been over this book a million times and it still seems to have surprises in it."

"Alright, I'd love to look at it," Avery happily stated as she drives.

This was the first time Henry was actually meeting Avery. Though Lux had talked about her a few times. Henry was surprised by her bubble, energetic, façade. He could see in her eyes that she carried many secrets that she refused to share. She also had a look, that he had seen from quiet a few people. Emma being one. He grew accustomed to seeing it during his time in Neverland. He made a mental note to ask Lux about it some other time. When they got to the fast food restaurant Avery took the two teens orders and had them pick a table. Henry sat the books on the table, getting some confused looks from people. With a smile he turned to them and said,"It's an English project."

Mid-meal Henry started explaining the entire situation to Avery. He watched her as he talk picking up on how concentrated she was, almost like she was hanging on to every word he said. When they finished eating Lux threw the trash away as Henry and Avery looked through the books.

"Now there is a page that just appeared like the book. My mom and her sort of boyfriend, Robin Hood, we're looking for clues and this page just appeared," Henry explained unfolding the page that had been folded, ripped up, and then taped back together. He saw the puzzled look on the sisters faces, with a laugh he added, "their relationship is complicated right now."

Avery took the page and scanned over it soaking in the details like a sponge soaks in water. Looking at the page number she opened the big book to that page, "So, they had been given a future but it was altered?"

"Exactly, Isaac had written this page and then chose not to continue with it. Maybe this could help us some how."

Sorry it's so short. Hope you enjoyed it!!
