ALWAYS ⇢ HENRY MILLS [1]

Brooke's POV

I watched Emma try and teach Hook how to fight with a sword and I couldn't help but smile and how cute they looked right now. I couldn't hear what they were talking about but because of the constant eye contact and smiles, they were slowly falling in love.

"We need to hurry up!" Henry urged.
We were walking through a small village and Henry was far in front of Emma, Hook and I. I could tell how much he wanted to save Regina and I want to be there for him throughout all of it, helping and supporting him, but right now I've never seen him so worked up. I've also never seen him so fast, I'm struggling to keep up.

"There they are!" Someone yelled from behind us. We all spun around and saw Lily, the guard, Snow and Charming. My jaw dropped at the sight of Snow and Charming and I was terrified. Charming looked more like Hook before this all happened. He was dressed in mainly black, he wore some red and had black eyeliner on. His hair had more of a spike to it, if you get what I mean. He still looked like he had a small bit of good left, telling by his facial expression: a smile. But I guess we're gonna find out whether that's true or not. Snow, on the other hand looked evil. Extremely evil. Her hair wasn't nicely combed to the side like it usually was, it was done up in a messy but effective quiff, I guess you could say? I don't really know what her hair is but it looks terrifying. She wore a long black dress and like Charming, she wore only a little red. Her makeup taste had changed. Her eyeshadow was pretty extreme, but I guess as a queen that happens.

"They're the people who broke the prisoner out!" Lily announced.
Everyone around us froze and watched what was happening.
I felt Henry stand beside me. He took hold of my hand squeezed it for reassurance.
"No! Snow you have to believe me! I-" Emma began.
"Excuse me?" she said. "Is that your way of addressing a queen?"
She sighed. "Your majesty, you have to believe me! I'm your daughter! You're my parents!"
Both Snow and Charming raised their eyebrows.
"I'm the product of true love! You two are meant to be good! But we're trapped! We're all trapped in a book written by a man called Isaac!"
"Isaac? Now where do I know that name from?"
"You know him?"
Snow nodded. "And now I think about it... I might remember something..."
We all stared at her in disbelief. Did she really remember something?
Her facile expression then changed from deep in though to an evil grin. "Nope. Kill them."

Emma's POV

Charming pulled out a sword and held it in front of him.
I found Henry's free hand and took hold of it. I pulled both him and Brooke behind me to protect them, the last thing I want his my son and his girlfriend dead.
"No." Hook said suddenly.
"Hook! What are you-?" I couldn't finish my sentence. I drifted off at the end when I saw him fighting with Charming. The swung there swords at each other. I could tell Hook was nervous, you could see it in his eyes, but I needed him to win this. I don't want Hook dying. I love him. I know he can't remember us but I can tell he's slowly remembering and believing some things I've said. Us in particular.

Hook knocked Charming to the floor. He smiled with satisfactory before turning to Snow and holding the tip of his sword at her chin. "Now you let these people go or I slit your throat"
Snow chuckled. She didn't look scared at all. Oh no.
"Funny. It's funny how you think you're intimidating and" she waved her arms around mockingly, "scary!"
Hook scowled but before he could speak Charming stood up and put his sword straight through Hook.
