Regina's Little Sister - A Peter Pan Love Story

Chapter 12

~Previously~

After chewing the turnover a couple of times, I could feel the effects of the poison getting to me. Suddenly, my vision started blurring and... I fainted. I could hear Emma calling my name but I couldn't respond, my body was unresponsive.

*In the Enchanted Forest*

Charming's Pov

I was determined to get out of this cell, I needed to get to Snow. I hit the lock on cell door multiply times but all that seemed to do was lessen my hope of escaping. Eventually needing to rest, I slide down the bars of the cell onto the bar. " I will find you, Snow. I will always find you." I whispered to the sky, trying sending a message to Snow. The Queen's guards came to my cell saying, "It might be hard to do that without your head. Come on, the queen is eager for your execution."

I was roughly pulled from the cell and dragged throughout the castle. I decided to let them drag me, I was going to be free, one way or another. I decided it was time to enact my plan, I fell to the floor and punch one of the guards in the stomach and headbutted him. Against my better judgement, I strangled the remaining guard and smashed his head into the wall, with my cuffed hands.

I guard in disguise saved me from my execution. "Who the heck are you?" I asked, wanting to know my savior. "A friend." he stated, taking off his helmet. "I don't know you." I respond, confused. "But I know Snow White." he said, opening the shackles on my wrist. "Is she okay?" I asked him. "The queen was traveling to meet her. Her fate is in a precarious place. We must hurry."

He showed me the exit but turned to leave, "You're not coming with me?" I asked. "I gave up my heart so that the queen would spare Snow's. Don't let my sacrifice be in vain. Find me." I nodded and rushed off to save her. 'I'm coming Snow.' I thought.

*Back in Storybrooke* *At the hospital*

Emma's Pov

After Henry collapsed, I quickly put in the car and drove him to the hospital. "Henry, Henry are you okay? Wake up, please. Come on, Henry. Come one. You can do it." I said and asked as he was being wheeled away on a gurney; I was following next to it closely. "Ma'am, I need you to leave." one of the nurses said but I quickly stopped them. "NO, I am not going anywhere." She sighed and moved around me to help Henry.

"What happened? Did he fall, hit his head?" Dr. Wells asked, whiling examining Henry. "He ate this. I think it's poisoned." I told him, pulling out the apple turnover. He checked his airway and found nothing, "His airway is clear. Did he vomit? Any convulsion or disorientation?" he asked. I was just quite agitated with his questions and said, "He took a bite of this and then he just collapsed, so run the test for Arsenic or Bleach or Drano or whatever could have done this to him."

"He is showing no signs of neurotoxins, so this is not the culprit." he stated, angrily, ripping the turnover from my had. "What else could it be?" I asked, desperately. "I don't know. That's what I am trying to figure out." he sighed sadly. "Is there any little detail you can remember." he asked me, after telling me Henry was slipping away. "I already told you everything, now do something." I cried. "I need something to treat and right now, there is no explanation. It's like..." he trailed off and sighed, probably trying to think of things to treat Henry for. "Like Magic." I stated, looking at Henry's book. When I held it, all these memories and images flashed through my head, everything Henry told me was true.

Regina's Pov

I heard that Henry was in the hospital so I immediately rushed over. "Where's my son?" I asked, walking into the operating room. "You did this." I heard Emma say. She grabbed my arm and threw me into a supply closet. "YOU DID THIS!" he yelled at me. 'Stop this. My son-" I tried to say but she cut me off. "Is sick because of you! That apple turnover you gave me, he ate it." "What?" I breathed out. "I was leaving town, why couldn't you just leave it alone?" I asked. "Because as long as you're alive, Henry will never be mine."
