TWENTY-EIGHT

After a few days of moping around the house, Jade got a phone call. Rubbing her eyes, she turned on the phone. "Hello?" She heard heavy breathing on the other end. "Jade, this is Emma. It's about Henry. I need you to come fast." The phone slipped out of Jade's hand and fell on the floor. She grabbed her jacket and ran out of the house.

When she got to the hospital, she went straight to Henry. "What happened?" Emma was frantic. "I don't know. He bit into the turnover that Regina gave me." Jade sighed. "Why did you even accept the turnover?" Emma shook her head. "I don't know." Jade turned to Dr. Whale. "Hey, can you tell me what is happening?" Dr. Whale shrugged. "We don't know. Whatever's going on, it's like..." Emma noticed the book. "Like magic." She grabbed the book, and Jade could tell Emma was remembering. Which meant that the curse would be broken soon. Jade smirked. She would be going to Neverland.

Regina walked in, and Emma looked up at her. "You did this." She then dragged Regina to the closet. Jade just stood there, stunned. Jade turned her attention to the doctors. A little while later, Emma stormed out of the closet with Regina. Jade walked over to them. "Wait, wait, where are you two going?" Emma stopped. "We're going to confront Mr. Gold." Jade sighed, and walked back.

A little later, Mary Margaret was reading the storybook to him. "'And yes, she was beyond hope, beyond saving. This was her end. When Prince Charming saw his beloved Snow White in her glass coffin, he knew that all that was left was to say good-bye. He had to give her one last kiss, and when he did, true love proved more powerful than any curse. A pulse of pure love shuttered out and engulfed the land, waking up Snow White and bringing light to the darkness.' Henry, when I gave you this book it was because I knew... I know life doesn't always have a happy end. But I thought..."

The machine started beeping, and Jade opened her eyes. "What? What is it?" She looked at the monitor, and it was beeping more rapidly. "Dr. Whale?!" Dr. Whale ran over to Henry. "Nurse, get them out of here, NOW!" A nurse took Jade's hand. "Follow me." Jade stood up, and followed the nurse outside. "Come on Henry, push through this." Dr. Whale started CPR.

The next few moments happened in a blur. Emma arrived, Henry's heart flatlined, the nurse took the oxygen mast off of Henry's face. Jade opened the door in a daze. Her whole life was falling apart. First, Aunt Regina burned the note, then the only way to Neverland was dead. She didn't even realize that Emma had just kissed her son's forehead. A blast radiated out from his forehead, and it shook Jade. She knew, at that moment, the curse had been lifted. She looked over at Henry, who was waking up. She ran over to him. "Henry, you're alive." Henry smiled. "You did it."

Juliet ran out into the street, looking around at all the people reuniting. She then heard a voice behind her. "Juliet?" Juliet turned around to see her best friend. "Paisley?" The two teenagers ran to embrace. "I missed you so much." Juliet chuckled. "Yeah, me too." Paisley looked around. "So, why are we still here?" Juliet lifted up her hand, trying to light a portal. Nothing. "There's no magic here."

Juliet then heard commotion. She looked towards where the sound was coming from and saw a purple smoke. "What the hell?"
