We will be together again

Chapter 1 - The Heart of the Truest Believer

Caitlynn sat down on the ground as Mulan stood by Neal as then he woke up and the first Mulan asked to him. "Who are you?"

"Neal." He replied to her.

"How many times to I have to tell you, don't have to ask him anymore, you know already him name." Caitlynn grumbled.

"Is he well?" Aurora and Philip came to them.

"Well enough to be questioned." Mulan replied to her.

"No, there will no questioning." Caitlynn told her, clearly a day.

Aurora grabbed glass of water for Neal as she told him. "Here. Drink. Drink." She helped him drinking. "You must be thirsty."

"Where am I?" Neal asked after he drank the glass of water empty.

"You're in our kingdom." Aurora replied to him as Caitlynn stood up while she still had a little head ache left.

"Where's your..." Neal asked to her. "where's your kingdom?"

"The Enchanted Forest." Philip replied to him.

"Yep, your back." Caitlynn nodded to Neal.

He frowned at her. "I'm back."

"Back?" Aurora asked to him, surprised. "You mean you're from here?"

"He's lying. Look at his clothes." Mulan told them. "He's from the same world Emma and Snow are from."

"He isn't lying, I am not lying, and we came from the land without magic." Caitlynn rolled her eyes, as if she wasn't heard to them.

"Emma? Emma swan? You know her?" Neal asked to them.

"How do you know her?" Mulan asked, frowning at him.

"She's... She's my... I... I don't know." He groaned in pain as he was trying to sit up. "But she's in danger. I have to get back to her. I have to help her!" Then he sat fully up as Caitlynn helped him.

"You need to rest." Philip advised him. "You were gravely injured when we found you." Then he looked at his wound that was bandaged up. "Were you hit by some kind of arrow?"

"45 caliber arrow. Look, I..." He glanced at Caitlynn. "We... need your help. I need to know that Emma and Henry are all right."

"You're... You're Henry's father?" Aurora asked to him as he nodded to her, then she told her story. "I was once under a sleeping curse. Snow taught me how to control the nightmare. And with practice, I'm able to walk the dream world, find others like me who have passed through." Then Neal stood up. "It's possible I can make contact with them. If I can, what would you like me to tell them?"

"Tell Emma I'm alive, and I love her." Neal replied to her.

"And that I'm alive as well and tell Gold that I miss him." Caitlynn told Aurora.

Aurora nodded to her as she lied down on the thing, where Neal had lied on, Philip helped her. Then Neal turned to Caitlynn. "How... How can you love him?"

Caitlynn looked at him. "Because, I accept him, not trying to change him in what he isn't, to be honest, he changed a little himself, cause he wanted that, not that I mind it."

Neal eyes narrowed a little. "I can't believe that."

"I'm sorry you can't believe that, but it is what it is." Caitlynn told him. "I know were are not on good terms, but at least we have the same coal to go back to my sister Emma." She looked at him. "And just you know, I'm bad, if you get to know me." She smiled at him.
