A Story That Will Never Die {Henry Mills/OUAT} [2]

Snow Drifts and There's No Place Like Home

***

It was the day after everything that happened with Zelena. Everything was calm once again, but all of us knew something would come up eventually. Nothing is ever calm for long in a place like Storybrooke, Maine. Henry and I were walking up the stairs and our destination was the loft. We chatted about whatever came to mind and suddenly this question came up, "So you are the reincarnation of the Greek goddess, Hecate? How does that feel?" Henry had a look of interest on his face.

I thought for a second, "I don't even know... shocked, I guess? I don't even get how that is possible." I moved some of my hair out of my face.

"Does that mean you remember everything she does? And that you can do everything she does? And-" Henry was asking the questions so quickly that I barely understood anything he was saying. He looked like a child on Christmas when they get what they always wanted.

I cut him off with a laugh, "Woah, slow down. I don't know the answer to any your questions. I just found out so I'm still completely new to all of this."

Henry was silent before he finally said, "Then I'll help you."

"Really?" I asked him.

"We are going to read everything that we can about Hecate so we can help you." Henry replied. I smiled at him. I would not be able to survive without him in my life. I don't see how I did before I met him, it seems impossible now. I just can't imagine my life without him at this point. My smile grew even wider, "What?" He questioned.

"Nothing. It's just- You have to be one of the best things that have ever happened to me. You..," I stopped thinking of the right words and then said, "You are my happy place."

We stopped in front of the door to the loft and Henry smiled, "You're mine too." We both hugged each other tightly. Then we let go and opened the door to the loft. Henry looked down at the newspaper he had in his hand again and walked over to Emma, "Hey, check it out. I think I found us a place."

Emma looked surprised, "You're looking for apartments?"

Henry didn't reply and only asked, "What do you think?" Henry handed the newspaper to her and she looked at it.

"Yeah, Emma. What do you think?" Mary-Margret asked with a smile.

Emma was silent before smiling and wrapping her arms around Henry' shoulder, "I think your grandparents can't decide what to name your uncle, and they are using a fairy-tale tradition to try and buy themselves some time." Henry and I chuckled.

"And that's when the bandits leaped on top of the carriage and stole the Prince's jewels. As the Prince chased the thieves on horseback through the treacherous forest." Henry read from the book. I remembered this part... I was the other thief. I had met Snow a few months before this happened. Henry, Mary-Margret, David, myself, and everyone else were in Granny's Diner having a good time. Emma and Hook weren't here yet, but they should be soon. Mary-Margret, David, Henry, Ruby, and I sat at the same booth and Henry was reading the storybook to the baby. I heard the door open and I turned to see Emma and Hook.
