Okay, babes. So a lot of people are asking for some father/daughter time for Hook and Ashton and I promise that that will happen in the next few chapters! I have a great way to twist the story around so that they'll be able to have some time together very soon! Love you babes Xx
When Emma and I got down the beanstalk, Mary Margaret and Mulan were fighting.
"Stop!" Emma said.
"Emma!" Mary Margaret exclaimed. "You okay?"
"Two earthquakes and a jump from a beanstalk. I think my brain is still rattling around a little."
"I did what you ordered. Nothing more than that. Did you get it?"
"Yep," I said. Emma pulled out the compass.
"Where...where's Hook?" Aurora asked.
"He's detained," I said. "Let's go. Get your stuff. We got ten hours before he follows us."
"What?" Mary Margaret asked. "How?"
"I got a friend looking after him 'til then," Emma replied.
"You told her to cut it down?" Mary Margaret panted.
"Yes, I couldn't risk..."
"We go back together," Mary Margaret said, cutting her off. "That is the only way. Do you understand?"
"Yeah," Emma replied, hugging her.
"Good. Now let's go get that dust from Cora."
"Yeah, and go home."
"Mm-hmm."

It was pitch black when we set up camp. We had a nice fire going, a tent set up. Aurora was sleeping, Mulan was on watch, and Emma and Mary Margaret were talking. I was leaning against a tree, thinking. I seemed to do a lot of that since seeing Hook again. I don't know. It just seems like even if you hate someone, I mean really. And you have good reasons to! But if they're your parent, no matter what they did...I don't know. It just seems you can't really hate them completely. Not without there being something there that tell you you still love them. Even if it's just a little bit.
So that's what I was thinking about when I went back over to the campfire. Mulan has some ideas about where Cora might be hiding, so we were all listening to her.
"Snow, Snow!" We heard Aurora yell.
"Hey, I'm here. It's okay. It's okay. It's just another nightmare," Mary Margaret said.
"No, this time was different. There was a little boy. He put out the fire, he talked to me."
"A little boy?" Mary Margaret said.
"What did he say?" I asked.
"He said... he said his name was Henry."
Ha I love cliffhangers. This isn't the end of the chapter this is just kind of a half way through intermission because that's such a good cliffhanger lol! Love you babes Xx. Continuing on...

We didn't have a lot of time to dwell on the fact Aurora had seen Henry.
"The boy you saw in your dream, is that him?" Emma asked, taking a picture of Henry from her pocket.
"Yes. This is Henry."
"That's impossible!" Emma said. "It was a dream. How could you dream of my son?"
"I have no idea."
"Maybe it wasn't a dream," Mary Margaret said.
"What?"
"That room. I've been there."
"When I told you about it you didn't say anything," Aurora said.
"You were terrified. I didn't want to make things worse by telling you I though it might be real."
"A room in a dream is real?" Mulan asked.
"The sleeping curse," Mary Margaret said. "It has to be. I went through it, Aurora went through it..."
"Henry's been through it because I wouldn't believe him," Emma said, looking down.
"Emma."
"What else did you lie about?" Aurora asked.
"I was...I wasn't lying. I was protecting you."
"What did he say?" I asked. "Henry, in the dream."
"He just said his name. And then I woke up and it was all over."
"Emma," Mary Margaret said. "It's gonna be okay."
"We are so far from okay."
"No, we have a way home now."
"We have a compass!" Emma exclaimed. "And the wardrobe ashes are still with Cora!"
"Any attempt to steal from her would be suicide," Mulan stated.
"Not anymore," Mary Margaret replied. "We can stop her."
"How?" Mulan asked
"I don't know," Mary Margaret said. "But I know someone who does. Rumpelstiltskin. He'll know a way. "Henry. We can talk to him. Now we can communicate," Emma said.
"Wait, wait," Aurora said.
"Oh yeah, Princess," Emma said. "You're going back to sleep."

Aurora made plans with Henry to meet back in two hours. So we kept walking, planning to make camp when our two hours were almost up.
"There," Mary Margaret said while we were walking. "That looks like relatively safe high ground. We'll set up camp there. Aurora, you'll settle in and find Henry. Get the information we need from Rumpelstiltskin. And we do this fast, in and out. It's still dangerous out here."
When Aurora woke back up, it wasn't by her choice. We had to make her. The camp was under attack.
First, we heard branches snap. Than Mulan was frantically trying to wake up Aurora as the first few people came out of the woods, swords raised.
We all grabbed a sword, fighting off the people. Mulan was trying to get away with Aurora to keep her safe, Mary Margaret was kicking one guy, Emma was stabbing another. I heard Mary Margaret scream,
"Emma! Watch out!" And saw Emma get tackled to the ground. I ran over and stabbed the guy through the heart. He fell over.
"Why aren't they dying?!" Emma yelled.
"Look at them," I said. "They're from the village!"
"All those people died!" Emma yelled back.
"I know, but Cora had their hearts! She must have made her own bloody army."
"Right, any ideas how to kill these things?"
"None!" Mary Margaret yelled. "Mulan? Mulan?!"
"Where is she?!" Emma exclaimed.
"I don't know, but we have to run for it!"
I stabbed one guy I was fighting through the heart and than we all ran.

It didn't take long to find Mulan. She was hastily running back towards us. When she came out of the brush, Mary Margaret raised her bow, but quickly lowered it.
"They took her," Mulan said. "Aurora is gone."

Another update! Like I said, there will be Hook and Ashton talking for a long time soon. Probably the chapter after next. Hope you babes are enjoying this! I'll try to update again today:-)
