The Bombshell

Part 37: Lily's Pov

   "I still don't trust you." Emma exclaimed. I honestly didn't blame her; I trusted the wrong person and now everyone else was paying for it. All I wanted was to get back at Snow and Charming; I had no idea Gold was going to suck the rest of Storybrooke into his twisted little plot.

.

   "That's fine, but we need to go." I urged. "Especially if anyone else knew you were coming here." Henry suddenly had a worried look on his face. "Did anyone else know?" Emma looked a little worried now too.

.

   "Isaac; The Author. When I came through the doorway in the book, he came through too." I looked to Emma, whose face explained how I felt. "He helped me find my way to Regina and I thought he might help us too, but he bailed. " I didn't really know this guy, but I did understand the significance of him knowing where we were.

.

   "But he knows you were coming here to rescue me, right?" Henry nodded. "Then we REALLY need to go." Emma was right. Henry and I headed for the door forgetting about Emma's chains. "Hello? You got the key?" I turned back as Emma tugged on her shackles again. I retrieved the key from my pocket and released her before the three of us ran.

.

   "There you are." It was Regina. "I was beginning to think she'd knocked you both out and escaped through a secret passage or something." Of course... she didn't remember that I was a dragon any more.

.

"Regina!" Emma suddenly noticed that we had brought back up. "And Hook!" Her face lit up at the sight of him; she obviously loved him, but when she saw that he had no recollection of who she was or the life they once shared, I could almost see her heart breaking in front of me.

.

   "Do I know you?" Hook asked; Emma remaining silent. She couldn't look at him; she avoided eye contact and stared at the floor.

.

   "Look, we really have to get out of here, unless any of you fancy having your hearts ripped from your chests and fed to the wolves because that's exactly what The Queen will do if she catches us." They knew it was a distinct possibility and none of them were arguing with me which I guess was a good thing.

.

   "She's right. We have to go." Henry had been pretty quiet since I started explaining my side of things to his mother when we were upstairs, but if he was backing me up, then the others might start to trust me again too.
