I woke up in a bed and I girl was next to me.

"What," I heard Neal's voice say.

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"Neal," he said.

"Leah, I said.

"Are they well," a different girl asked.

I sat up to see who it was.

"Well enough to be questioned," the first girl said.

"Here drink, both of you. You must be thristy," Aurora said bringing us both water and helping Neil, I recognize her from the balls my parents used to have.

"Where am I," Neil asked.

"At our kingdom," Aurora answered.

"And um, where is your kingdom," Neil asked.

"The Enchanted Forest," Philip said.

"Were back," I said.

"Back? You mean your from here?" Aurora asked.

"It's fine. Look at there clothes there from the same world Emma and Snow came from," the other girl said.

"Emma Swan you know her?" Neil asked.

She nodded, "How do you know her?"

"She's, She's my, I don't know but she's in danger and have to help her," Neil said trying to get up.

"Calm down," I said.

"You need to rest, you were gravely injured when we found you. Were you hit but some kind of arrow," Philip asked.

"45 caliber arrow," he said.

"He was shot with a gun. Like she said we came from somewhere else," I said getting up to look at his wound better.

"Leah good to see your well," Philip said.

"Look, we need your help. I need to know that Emma and Henry are alright," Neil said.

"Wait your Henry's father? I was once under a sleeping curse, he taught me how to control the nightmare and with practice I'm able to walk through the dream world find others like me. It's possible that I could make contact with him." Aurora said, Neil got down off the bed and she continued, "If I can get in contact with him what would you like me to tell him?"

"To tell Emma that we are alive and that I love her," Neil said looking back at me.

~~~~~~~~

Aurora lied down and fell asleep I waited beside her with Philip. Neil sat with Mulan and I listen to there conversation.

"Are you feeling better," she asked.

"Ya," he said.

"How did you and Princess Leah get here?"

"We fell through a portal. I thought I was going to die, so I thought about here and how I grew up here and that's how portals work they bring you to where ever your thinking of. And since I fell through first it dragged Leah down with me."

"Well what's it like in the other world?"

"Well for starters they think this whole place if just a fairytale. Like a legend, like were all just characters in a story book."

"I'm in a story?"

"Ya, they actually made a movie about you. It's actually pretty good."

"What's a movie," she asked.

I laughed to myself. Aurora woke up and Philip and I helped her sit up and off the bed.

"It's worse then I feared. I couldn't make contact, I wish I could be more of a help. I fear no one can," she said.

"Your father could," I said.

"He always had a plan, he would of left something behind so that if he ever ended up back here he could contact me. I can get to it I know I can. I just need to get to his castle," Neil said.

"Who's your father," Philip asked.

"Rumpelstiltskin," we said in unison.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We arrived at his castle with Mulan behind us.

"It seems abandoned," she said.

I went over to the table and ran my finger over the cup on it.

"No, someone's here," I said.

We looked around and I heard the wind of and arrow and ducked.

"Wow," Neil said, the arrow had landed in the wall inches from his face.

"The first was a warning ma'lady, chivalry and all that," a man in a hood said.

"Who are you," Mulan asked.

He came down from the window seal and removed his hood.

"The names Robin," he said.

"No way, Robin Hood," Neil said.

"I'd bow but this quivers rather tight. Now what are you doing trespassing in my castle?" he asked.

"This castle belongs to the dark one. Tis' you who trespasses," Mulan said.

"He hasn't been seen since the queen's curse. Now if he ever shows up I'll be happy to vacant," he said.

"No, no need. In fact you can have it, just we need to look around for a bit," Neil said.

"And who would you be to grant such a title," he asked.

"I'm known as Baefire, I'm his son," Neil said.

"My apologize. Go ahead," Robin said and lowered his bow.

"Don't need to see ID," Neil asked.

"Who'd claim to be that if he wasn't," he said.

"He does have a point," I said.

"Shut up," he said with a chuckle.

"We are looking for something, something magical," I said.

"Sorry to disappoint but I arrived shortly after the curse. The place was cleaned out, nothing of any value remains," Robin said.

"Thief's would only take what they see," Neil said.

I think we both saw the same thing that moment, Rumple's cain.

"What is something of a knotted old cain? It probably belonged to one of the people that cleaned out this place," Mulan said.

"No, it was his. He used to use it to keep track of my growing," Neil said, he swang it around and a door opened behind him.

"I've played with the cain a thousand times it never released a cloaking spell before," Robin said.

"So what's in there," I said.

"Let's find out," Neil said.

He opened the door and I looked with him at all the things in this closet.

"I spent my entire life running way from magic, now it's doing something so that it can help me," he said.

Neil put both hands around what looked like a so globe and closed his eyes. Nothing happened.

"It's not working, why isn't it working," he said taking it out of the closet and onto the table.

"Don't think of a place, think of Emma. And more then that how you feel about her," I said.

He placed his hands on it once more and it started to show Emma.

"No it can't be," he said.

"What's wrong, we know where she it now," I said and then looked closer.

"Ya but that's not StoryBrooke Leah. Emma's in Neverland," He said.
