Once upon a time ➳ Their Happy Endings

Running out of time

I woke up in a bed..
Not my bed..
I looked at my leg and the room around me, put two and two together, and remembered my dream.
Suddenly the lights started to flicker.
"Hello? Anyone there?"
...
Silence...
"Oh, I'm here alright! Come on boys...
Let's play.."
I saw Peter Pan run up to my bed, reach into my chest,
And pull my heart out
"AGGGHHHH!!!"
I woke up...
Wait what?
"GRACE!"
Regina came and ran into my little.. Room.. Thingy...
"Grace what's wrong?"
"I-I uh.. I had another dream..
It was about pan and he.. He ripped my heart from my chest and-"
"Oh, grace it's alright..
You're safe now."
Regina leaned over and hugged me.
"What happened to him? Is he gone?"
"Well, not quite.."
"What do you mean.. not quite..?"
We then heard screaming..
What the hell.. Who was that??!!
Maybe I should go check it out...
I got up, well, TRIED to get up but Regina pushed me back.
"Oh no! You're not going anywhere.. You're still hurt."
*sigh*
"Fine."
"Good girl."
Regina left me in bed and as soon as she left I got up and sneaked out the back.

"We were robbing the carriage.."
"Snow!"
"What? I can't just lie!"
*sigh*
"Well she's right. We can't just lie."
"Thank you, Lacey."
"Well.. Uh.. If you wanted something you could have just asked.."
"I know and were so- wait what?"
Charming ran back to the carraige and said
"What is it you guys wanted?"
"Wait, so you're just letting us-"
"Of course! Why wouldn't I?"
The generosity of charming reflected on many that day..
Except a few people.

"Where's grace? She was here just a second ago..."
"Oh.. Uh.. I thought she was-"
"NO! SHES NOT! HOW COULD YOU JUST LOSE A PATIENT LIKE THAT?"
"Madame mayor I'm so sorry... I left for just a minute."
"Dr. Whale I'm sure someone can get to the door in a minute."

I ran to where my mom was trying to fight off pan.
"Grace! What are you doing out here?!"
"I'm sorry mom, I had to come and help!"
"Well then hurry up please!"
"On it!"
I ran over and read pans mind.
Good thing they don't know my weakness..
Wait..
What is grace doing..?
Why is she just staring at me..?
Ugh anyways once I corrupt corrupt Emma-
Wait.. That's it! I need to corrupt Emma by killing something she loves! The only thing that's close enough is-
"Oh crap.."
Pan looked at me and smiled.
"Hello grace. I need you to do me a favor."
"..."
"Just come here."
"Don't hurt her!"
"I'm sorry Emma, I believe your time is up. It's been two weeks..?"
"Already? That went by so fast.."
"Welp either you kiss grace goodbye or.... Well let's face it.. That's really your only choice at the moment." Pan turned back to me and chocked me with magic.
"NO!" Regina came and ran out of the building, dropping to my side.
"Hmm... Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt to spare a life.." Pan lowered his hand.
