The next morning I brought all of August's things to the town office so Henry and I could look through it. The first thing that fell out was a page torn out of the door, a door was illustrated on it and there was a sticky note on the side with two words written on it 'Author? Memories?'

"What does it mean?" Henry asked.

"Hong Kong," I said.

"What?" he asked.

"August he went to Hong Kong for a while a few years after we wrote the storybook. He was turning back into wood and he thought that someone there could help him. When he came back he didn't tell me a lot about what happened but he said that the man he found there talked about a storybook like the one we wrote that had something to do with a trapped magical author. But I told him that there wasn't any way that it was our book because there was no magic in it. We didn't talk a lot about Japan because every time he would bring it up what he said made no sense."

"So you think this door could have your memories behind it?" he asked.

"Maybe, but when August talked about this trapped author August said that the author was in there for breaking the rules of the author code. And I can't imagine any of us breaking the rules," I said.

"So is there another author?" Henry asked.

"There's only one way to find out. We have to find that door," I said.

Regina came into the office secretly and came over to us.

"Leah I need you to come with me," she said.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm undercover with Cruella, Ursula, and Maleficent. They are after their happy ending and they want me to kidnap you and try and get information out of you about the book," she said.

"But I don't have any memories," I said.

"I tried to tell them that but they don't fully trust me and wanted to see for themselves. I promise I won't let anything happen to you Leah, just please come with me," Regina said.

"Ok," I said and gave Henry a hug before following Regina out of the office and into Cruella De Vil's car in handcuffs she made.

"I already told Regina everything I know about the book. My memories of writing it are gone," I said to all the villains as they surrounded me.

"But you're not the only one that wrote that book," Rumple said.

"Hate to break it to you but both of the men that helped me write it are gone," I said.

"Not both," he said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Maleficent, tonight you get Regina and the two of you bring Pinocchio to me," Rumple said.

"Please don't do that. That little boy doesn't remember anything," I said.

"Shush now," Rumple said, using his magic to create a cloth around my mouth preventing me from speaking.
