"How do you know my daughter?" He asked, his voice stern. "She's here." I say softly. "She wants me to do this?" He asks. "More than anything." Emma says. "I already called her cell." We hear a noise at the back of the dock. Ursella. "Do you want to waste my time again, Hookhand." She says with sarcasm. "It's Hook, and your father can return your voice." Hook says gesturing her to Posideon. "Father." Ursella whispers, her face lighting up. Hook hands them the shell. Poseidon takes the shell and returns Ursella's voice. She laughs and smiles. I've never seen her smile before. "Thank you!" She exclaims. Killian just looks up at her with a half smile then looks back down at the ground as his face fell. Ursella returned to the sea with her father. I kneel back down on the dock. "Henry." I whisper. Emma and Killian join me on the dock. Killian lays his hand on Emma's shoulder comforting her. I could see the tears she was trying to hold in fall to her rosy red cheeks. Her eyelashes filled with water droplets from her tears. All of a sudden we see a girl in the water swimming upward towards us. We take a couple steps back. She had red hair circling her as she swam to the surface. Ariel. She had Henry curled up in her pale arms. She looked up at us with her icy blue eyes and her wet apple red hair curling down her back. She had a purple top and a scaly green tail where her legs should be. "Henry!" Emma exclaims taking him from her hands. She laid him down on the dock using her arm to be a pillow for his head. "I'm Erica." I say introducing myself to Ariel. "Ariel." She says. "I know I've seen movies about you." I say. She gave me a confused look. "What's a movie?" Ariel asks. "Uhh.. Never mind." I say with a little giggle. "Well um. Thank you so much for saving Henry." I thank her. "No problem." I get up from my position. As I walk away, "Erica!" Ariel yells out. "One more thing." "Yeah I really don't know how to explain what a movie is." I say with a chuckle. "No. Not that. It's Henry." Ariel says giving me a worried look. "He's been down there for a long time. I don't think he's breathing." I shot her a confused and worried look then look back to where Henry was laying. I rush over to him to check his pulse. Then I see him moving a little. Or it was just me. "He's blinking." Hook exclaims smiling towards us. Henry all of a sudden jumps up and coughs up a bunch of water. "Henry!" Emma screams grabbing him in to a hug. "What happened?" He asks. "How is that possible?" Ariel exclaims. We all look over to another person approaching us in the water. Ursella. "Your welcome." Ursella says swimming back towards her father, splashing us. "Ursella saved your life!" I exclaim looking back at Henry, Emma, and Hook.

We returned to the apartment with Henry. Everybody was still really worried about him. They seemed to be caring for him like he was a wounded dove. But I could tell Henry didn't like the attention. "Henry." Regina said cupping his cheeks in her hands. "Mom, I'm fine." Henry said pushing away. "What's with him?" Regina asks in a whisper tone to Emma as Henry ran upstairs. "Well. We officially have a teenager in our hands." Emma says with a chuckle. "I'll go talk to him." I say running after him. Once I walked up I saw Henry sitting on the edge of a bed. I joined him. "Hey." I say sitting next to him. "Whatcha doing?" I asked. "Thinking." He says staring off at the wall. "What are we thinking about?" I asked. "I don't want to talk about it." Henry said in a low tone. "Okay." I whisper heading towards the stairs. "Wait." Henry says out to me. I walk back to the bed smiling. "Yes." I say. "I need your help." Henry says. I shot him a confused look. "For what?" I ask. "I'm tired of just.. being on the sidelines. I want to be a hero." Henry said. "Henry." I say placing my hand on his shoulder. "You are a hero." "I don't want people underestimating me anymore." He says to me. I look at his hazel eyes. "You know I support you with everything. I will help you." I say. Henry smiled for the first time today and gave me a big hug. "Thank you." He whispered as he let go. "What is it we're looking for?" I ask. "The author's pen." Henry explained.

A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the short chapter. I usually do 1000-2000 words but today's is 800 just because I thought this was a good ending place :)
