Storybrook
Henry's POV

I look around the place I'm in. This must be what Pandora's box looks like. A room of fire making a circle around me and a single mirror in front of me. I look at my reflection and see Peter Pan instead of me. He switched our bodies so that he wouldn't be in the box. All of the sudden I slowly rise to the gem in the Ceiling and I go through it. I feel bigger when I'm completely out of the gem. Red smoke surrounds me and I can't see anything else but the red smoke. Once the red smoke is cleared up, I get up off the ground. I look at where I am. I'm across the town line. I see both sets of my grandparents and a guy that looks around sixteen.I turn to look straight forward and see my mom pointing a gun at me. "Mum?" I say. I try to say mom but it came out as mum, thanks to Pan's accent. "What?" She says in disbelief. "What are you waiting for? Shoot him." Mr.Gold says. I start shaking and quickly say "Don't. Please, I'm Henry. Pan, he switched our bodies." "You expect me to believe that?" Mom  spits out, raising her voice. "Don't believe him. This one of his tricks." Mr.Gold says. "No. It's not. He did it right before Mr.Gold captured me in the box. I swear." I say. I try to take a step closer to Mom. She still has the gun in her hand, pointing it at me. "Ah. Don't come any closer." She commands. I listen and step back to where I was. "Shoot him." Mr. Gold yells. I couldn't help but flinch at his voice. "Maybe he's telling the truth. Maybe that's why I can't shake the feeling something's off about Henry." She says. I glance down at the ground for a second then look back up. "Maybe that's what he wants you to believe. But once he steps over the line, we're all dead." He says still yelling. Mom looks back at me. "Alright if you are really Henry then, prove it. Tell me something only Henry would know." I start thinking about events that happened in Storybrook over the past three years Mom has been here. "I got trapped in the mines, I tried to blow up the world, I like hot cocoa with cinnamon." I try to sound convincing but failed at it. "This proves nothing." Mr. Gold grumbles. "He's right ,Emma. Henry could've told Pan all of this in Neverland." Snow agrees. I look down, scared that she'll shoot me and how Pan will be acting like me and making me cause trouble. "Pan might know facts, but life's made up of more than that. There are moments. He can't possibly know all of them. The first time you and I connected. You remember that? Not met but connected." I smile and nod. "Yeah." "Where was it?" She asks. "My castle. Right after you came to Storybrook." I answer. "What did you tell me?" "That I knew why you gave me up." I say. "Why." She says. "Because you wanted to give me my best chance." She lowers her gun and puts it back on her belt. "Henry?" She says, coming to me. "Mum." I say. She hugs me and says "This is Henry." She pulls out of the hug and says. "Promise you're not going to insiterqate us when we step over the line." I turn to face her again and give a small smile. When we stepped over the line Snow and David pulled me into a hug. When they released me Mr.Gold said "I'm sorry I doubted you, Henry and I'm sorry I put you in the box in the first place." I smile. "It's ok, I would've done the same thing." With that me and mom start walking to grandpa's truck and I hear David say something to his wife, but they were so far away that I couldn't hear what he said.
