ALWAYS ⇢ HENRY MILLS [1]

Brooke's POV

Regina, Emma, Henry and I were all stood outside the church.
"Look inside" I whispered to Regina. She walked to the door and peeped her head in. Regina was looking through the door for a while, soon she walked back to us. She looked weak.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
She nodded. "Yes. There's no point in trying it's happening now I have no chance"
"Object!" Emma said. "You need to object!"
Regina thought for a moment then nodded. But before she could turn around and walk back to the church door a man who looked familiar grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her backwards.

"Rumplestilskin!" Emma shouted, pulling out her sword and holding it in front of her. He turned around and held out his arm and she went flying backwards into a pile of sacks, unconscious.
"Shit" I whispered to myself.
"Sorry, dearie, but I'm not here to fight you" he said to Emma, even though she couldn't hear. He turned Regina, his eyes darted from Regina, to Henry to me, strangely enough.
"I have orders from the queen. A man called Isaac requested for you three to be killed and since I'm the best swords-fighter around, she asked me to do it" he grinned. "It's hard to choose which one to kill first"
Henry stood in front of me, blocking half of my view. "Don't go anywhere near her; either of them."
"And you don't touch the boy either" Regina threatened.
Rumple chuckled and took a step closer to Henry. "Isaac specifically mentioned you, young boy. So, I might as well start off with you"
Henry ran over to Emma and took the sword from her in a speed of light. He held out her sword. "Well I'm not letting you off that easily" he replied.
"Henry" I murmured. "No."
He turned to me. "Don't interfere. The last thing I want is you dead, okay?"
I nodded.
"I love you"
"I love you too, Henry"

I watched him fight with Rumple. He threw multiples slashes of his sword as did Rumple. He then lunged forward and knocked the sword out of Henry's hand off-guard. He froze in his place and gulped. I could tell he was trying to act as brave as he could but I knew it wasn't working.
"I'm sorry I have to do this, boy. But, queen's orders" he grinned.
I screamed as I watched his sword about to slice through Henry's stomach. But suddenly Regina ran in front of him and the sword sliced right through her's instead.
My screaming stopped. I was speechless. Utterly speechless. Regina just sacrificed herself for Henry?! No!

Rumple's eyes widened at the sight of Regina but before I could charge at him, he disappeared.
Emma woke up too. Both of us ran over to Henry and Regina who was lying on the ground with both her hands clutched her bleeding wound.
I knelt down beside Henry who was now crying. We all were, actually.

She looked at Henry and whispered, "I'm so sorry"
Henry shook his head. "No. No. This wasn't supposed to happen this was never supposed to happen"
I nudged closer to Henry and wrapped my arms around him for comfort. His head rested on my shoulder.
The bells then rang and Henry's head shot up. "No" he cried, shaking his head. "No!"

I watched Robin and Zelena walk out with smiles spread across their lips. But as soon as Robin saw Regina lying on the floor his smile dropped and he ran towards Regina.
He fell to his knees next to Emma. Regina saw him and weakly smiled. "I wanted to tell you" she whispered. "I wanted to tell you"
It broke me to see the smile on Robin's face whilst his tears were falling. "I know" he replied.

"Ugh! You got blood on my dress!" Zelena groaned.
"Can't you see she's hurt?!" Robin answered.
Zelena stood up and stamped her foot on the ground like a little child. "This was supposed to my wedding!" she whined.
I then stared at her face and noticed it was turning green. "Zelena... your face..." I said slowly.
She felt her cheek and she groaned again in frustration and despair before running away. Robin didn't seem to care. He just stayed knelt down beside Regina: his true love.
"Tragic, isn't it?" Isaac said. We all spun around and saw he had appeared from nowhere. I ran up to him and slapped him, hard. He grinned and held the cheek I slapped. "Aren't you a feisty one?"
"Change this." Emma ordered.
Isaac shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't. Well, more like I don't want to."
Emma scowled at him and walked closer until she was beside me. "Change this. Now" she held the tip of her sword to his chin. Isaac held his hands in air and chuckled. "Alright, alright"

He reached into his pocket and pulled out his pen and book but strangely enough, the pen didn't light up. Isaac froze and stared at the pen in shock. "How is that-?"
Before he could carry on Emma kicked him in the stomach and he fell backwards, clenching his stomach and groaning in pain.
Henry then stood up and stared at the pen. He was looking at it as if he felt a connection. Why? He ran towards the pen and picked it up. The pen ignited and blue lights were let off. He stared at in a mix or surprise and awe.

Isaac stood up with his mouth wide open. "He's the next author"
"Henry" Emma said. "Fix this"
He nodded and got to his knees. He picked up Isaac's book and started to write. He was mumbling something to himself as he wrote it. White lights then rose from the book.

I squinted slightly at the sudden outburst of light and put my hand over my eyes. Henry looked up at me and gave me a huge smile showing that everything will be okay. I returned the smile and watched us all slowly fade from the book.
