Still in shock of being told me and Aidan have magic. This is unreal. That explains that light on my hands when I saved Aidan from those guards. "But why do you need out hearts?" Aidan asks. "For a potion!" She says. "What kind of potion?" He asks. "Aren't you just curious!" She says. "I'll take you out first!" She says snatching is heart right out of his chest. Her hands start to tighten seeing him crouch down in pain. The sounds of his heart cracking. "Aidan run!" I yell. It was all I could think of! "She can't crush the heart of they aren't near! So we have to hide." I exclaim. "Ah!" Aidan says starting to get weak and crouch to the ground. He starts inhaling in pain. "Aidan! Are you okay?" I ask. "Yeah yeah!" He says getting back on his feet. We hurried back to granny's and in to our room. Aidan quickly collapsed on to the bed. I went out to get a snack. When I came back with a bag of chips. Aidan was.. Sleeping? I quickly checked his pulse. It was down low! "No!! Aidan!" I say shaking him hoping he'll wake. "No." I whisper. "This is all my fault! I'm so stupid!" I say to myself. Aidan starts to breathe heavily. He's alive! "Aidan are you okay?" I ask. "Yeah. They were doing something with my heart. But the didn't crush it. "Okay. Let's go!" Aidan says getting up. Where? I ask. "To Regina! I need my heart back." He says. "Aidan we agreed. You almost got killed!" I say. "Right that!" He says sighing. "I'm getting some sleep." I say. "I'm a bit tired too." He says yawning. Once I knew he was asleep I snuck out to Regina's vault, where she was keeping Aidan's heart. If he went with me Regina could've been close enough to crush his heart. I needed to get it back! I snuck into the vault and took down the force field with my magic. I saw where she was keeping it and quickly went to get it. Surprisingly I went in and out not caught! But I was caught by Aidan! When I went back to the room Aidan was there awake. "Oh! Hey Aidan!" I say. "Where were you exactly?" He asks. "Getting you this!" I say showing him his heart. "Erica!" He says putting grabbing it and putting it back in his chest. He comes up to my and gives me a big hug. Wow that felt nice. I didn't even feel like letting go. I could tell neither did he. "Thank you!" He whispered. "Yep! No prob! I say. "Now how about I get some sleep." I say. "Yep!" He says. "No more sneaking out!"

The next morning Aidan and I head out to the forest to try and practice our magic. Soon after we got a visitor. "Cruella." I say. "Hello darling!" She says pulling up her fur coat. "Now now I don't want to hurt anybody. It's your choice. Hand over the heart and nobody gets hurt!" Cruella says. "Okay. You got me!" I say shrugging. Cruella has a faint smile, and was a little confused on to why I gave up so quickly. She stuck her bony hand right into my chest. Nothing was there. Her face was in so much shock. "Where is it!" She screams. "Surely you weren't dumb enough to think we would bring our hearts to the forest!" I say with a giggle. Cruella was angry. Very angry. I could tell she wanted revenge. Soon thunder starts to boom. And rain started to pour. Cruella just laughs and disappears in a white cloud of smoke. "Great! We're soaking wet and have to walk all the way back!" I say. We soon here footsteps approaching. Not knowing who it was we quickly hid behind a tree log. "Who's here!" A man shouts. I take a little peak to see who it is. It wasn't just any man standing there. It was Prince Charming. "Prince Charming?" I say. "Call me David." He says with a chuckle he extended out his hand. I grabbed on for support to get up. "What are you kids doing out here?" He says. "What about you?" I asked curiously. "Well, I am sheriff." He says. "Ohh.." I say quietly. "We were brought here by Maleficent." I say. "She wants something from us, but we don't know what." "Your hearts." He whispers with such shock on his face. "H-how do you know?" Aidan asks. "Well me and Snow White have a history. A complicated one." He starts. "But she wants me grandsons heart too." "Grandson? You don't look like a grandpa." I say. "Well time used to be frozen in Storybrooke." He says. "But.. I think I know someone who will want to see you." He says. "Follow me." We follow him with remembering he's sheriff, a hero, and well..because why not. He drives up to a small little apartment. "This where you live?" I ask. "Yep." He says climbing out of the car. We walk out and go into a small little apartment. And that's where we saw Snow White. She was beautiful with, dark brown hair that matched her eyes. "Hi David." She says giving him a kiss. "And who are they?" She asks smiling. "I brought them here to talk to Emma and Henry." He says hanging up his coat. "Oh, didn't you hear?" Snow White asks. "Emma went on another date with Hook." I could tell by the concern on David's face he wasn't comfortable with Emma dating Hook. "But Henry is here." She says. "Right upstairs." We walk up there but he was nowhere to be seen. "Henry!" David calls. No response. "What is going on?" Snow says. "Where is Henry! She says in alert screaming voice. "We've gotta go look for him!" David says. "Did you try his cell?" I ask. "No. Thank you--" "Erica." I say. He picks up his phone and quickly taps in a number. It rings and rings but no answer. Then I really saw worry on his face. "Were going out to look for him." He says. "We're coming." I say. "No it's--it's too dangerous. There's people..villains after you!" He says with concern in his tone. "We could be helpful." I point out. "Okay. But you must wear this cloak!" He says handing me a long dark blue cloak and hands Aidan a black one. "Thank you!" We say. We slip on the cloaks and we hit the road. We walk through rocky paths. We hear a sudden scream. It didn't belong to a girl or a man. It was.. Henry. David and Snow give each other a look before they start running as fast as they can as we trail behind. We reach an area in the Forest where we heard the scream. A little boy who looked about the same age as us. He had a big deep scar down the side of his face and looked unconscious. "Henry!" Snow shrieked. I knelt down to feel his pulse. "He's alive." I say relieved. They all had a sigh of belief. "But he needs care." I say looking up at them. We rushed to the hospital with Henry. Once we got in there he was rushed into a room to be cared for. Once we were aloud to see him he looked like he was in a lot of pain. He started to open up his eyes. "Henry?" David says. "Grandpa?" Henry says looking up. "What happened to you?" David asks. "I don't know I was in the forest and then..I was attacked!" Henry explains. "Wh-who are they?" He asks pointing to us. "Their um.. People like you. Kids with hearts of the truest believers. They helped us find you." Snow says. "Oh." Henry says smiling. "It's very nice to meet you Henry." I say. After a little smile. He went black. His head collapsed on to the pillow. "What happened!" I scream. "I don't know!" David says. And then.. Just like that his beeps went from steady to straight. "Henry No!!" Snow screams. David immediately got out his phone and called Emma over. Tears fell down my face. I didn't even know him but the thought of anyone dying is too sad to take in. "I think I can do something." I say. Someone came rushing through the door. It was Emma, Emma Swan. Henry's mother. With Hook. I used my magic to heal the wound. But nothing happened. Then I knew what to do. I had to suck some life out to put into him. Then I held my hand to my chest after explaining everything. "1..2..3!" I shout. I slowly took it out and gently pushed it down on his chest. Nothing. For a minute everyone just stood their crying. That's when he inhaled and his head flew off the hospital pillow. "Thank you!" Emma said giving me a hug. "Yeah no problem!" I say. "Does anyone else feel hot?" I asked. And that's when I collapsed to the floor. I completely blacked out. I woke up still in the hospital. But I was really dizzy. I was sitting at the edge of Henry's bed. Suddenly I felt a hug from behind me. I turned around. "Thank you. For saving my life!" Henry says. "No problem!" I say returning the hug. I felt a sudden whoosh of wind on my neck. That's when the room doors flew open. "Cruella." I say getting up from my seat. "That's not all darling." She says snapping her fingers. Maleficent comes out from the left, Regina from the right, and Ursella from the middle. We all take a few steps back. With a whoosh of Maleficent hand Henry was flown to the back of the room and was hung there magnetically or something. Cruella walked over to him. Her steps stealthily and gentle on the hospital tile. "What a pretty boy." Cruella says stroking his cheek with a smirk. I could tell Henry was uncomfortable with the matter while he was squirming. "And what a heart beat." She says moving her hand down to his chest. That's when she violently pulled it right out of his chest. "Henry!" I screamed. No. No. I did not just save him to see him die again! I ran over to Cruella and grabbed Henry's heart pushing it back in. Cruella dropped her hand which made Henry collapse to the floor. I could tell by Henry's heavy, uneven breathing he was in pain. "Get him on the bed!" I say. "Erica No!" Henry shouts. "It's me she wants, I can't put you in that danger." I give him a look. He was so concerned in my safety. That's when Maleficent walked in to the room. "Well I have found out we only need 2 hearts to complete the potion." Maleficent says eyeing Cruella. "Aidan." Maleficent whispers in my ear. "What'll it be?" She asks. "Heaven or Hell?" She pulls out his heart with force. He felt so helpless while watching my best friend crying in pain as his heart was being crushed and squeezed. All I could do was stand there. Stand there and cry. She finally crushes it with one more grip bringing ashes to the floor. He collapses to the floor, his eyes rolling back. "No!" I scream coming down to him with tears rolling down my eyes. "Why?" I whisper not even picking up my head. Just looking down at him. "What was that darling?" Cruella asked. "Why!?" I screamed finally getting up. Maleficent stood there chuckling. "Well. He was another thing standing in the way of our happiness. "You will never be happy knowing that you murdered!" I yell out. "I'll live with it." She says walking out as the rest disappear in smoke and the doors shut as if nothing happened. Aidan disappears a second after. "Where'd he go?" I ask. "Heaven or Hell." Snow says.
                       2 weeks later
I was still trapped in Storybrooke. But I mean I guess it's not that bad. I've been staying with Snow, Charming, and Henry for a couple weeks. I was taking a stroll around and I noticed a shop that I never noticed around before. "Mr. Gold's Shop" it read. I walk in to see a man standing behind the register. "A-Are you Mr. Gold?" I ask. "Yes, yes. But some know me as.. Rumplestiltskin." He says twirling his fingers and rolling his R's. My eyes widen. "And you are?" He asks. "E-Erica Johnson." I answer him. I had a grimly smile making me uncomfortable. "Well what can I get for you, dearie?" He asks. "D-Do you have anything that can bring back the dead? I ask hesitating at the word dead. "No. I'm sorry dearie. No magic is that strong." He says doing that finger twirling thing again. "You recently lost one too." I say. "Neal. Baelfire." Rumple stood there in shock. "How do you know about Bae?" He asked. "He was a hero. Known all around." I lie. I didn't want him to know the real truth. "Wait. I know you." He says through gritted teeth. "How?" I ask. "The enchanted forest." He says. I stood there confused. "I lived in California my whole life." I say looking at the mad man. "Memory wipe." He says. "They wiped your memory. Yours and Henry's." I stood there still debating weather I should believe him or not. "Get Henry. I can bring back your memories." He says. "What's your price?" I ask. "You get your memories and tell me everything you and Henry know about Bae." He says. "Deal." I say smirking as I ran to get Henry. He was alone in the house reading his storybook. "Henry." I say sitting down next to him. "Erica!" He says smiling. "Where's Mary Margaret and David?" I ask. "They went to work." He says. "I'm usually at home alone anyway." "Well do you want to go to Mr. Gold's shop together?" I ask. He gives me a confused look. "Why?" "Because Rumple claims our memories were wiped and we were in the enchanted forest as people in the book." "What's in it for him?" He asks. "Once we get our memories back we tell him everything we know a about his son. Baelfire. Your dad." I say. He smiles at me and we walk to the shop. "Ready to start?" Rumple asks as he hears us walk in.
