The Whitelighter Part 1

Chapter 21 - A New World

Because I'm not putting in Zelena disguised as Merian it means she's not here to be Robin's fake fiance in the Book Realm as I call it. Instead I figured I could use Mulan for a bit because she was a  part of the group and I need someone for this.

SCENE: Storybrooke. Present. The loft. Everyone was gone with no sign of them having been there just moments ago. The only bit of civilization that remained was Will and Henry.

Will was scared, "What's going on?" Henry calmed him town and gave a small explanation an then told him his 'for now' plan. He takes the page and the key with him an the two of them head to Gold's. Everyone was gone including Gold an the Author. Thats when Henry stole Gold's car and the two of them left town.

SCENE: Present. On the road. Henry parks the car and the two of them enter a restaurant. He talks to a waitress who compliments his sideways parking.

She scoffed, "You old enough to drive?" Henry lied, "Yeah. Are you? I need some help. Have you seen any of these people?" He shows her pictures of him with Regina, a picture of David, Emma an Snow, an then him and Emma. "Mm... No. No, I haven't." Henry said it was his family an he nee to know if she was sure. "Look, why don't you wait here, and I can, um... I-I'll ask some of the others..." She steps away and she calls someone. Henry starts picking up the pictures. "Time to go come on." Will leaves first. "Yeah, I've got someone here. Yeah, I-I think he's a runaway." Henry sees the book 'Heroes and Villains' on a sales stand signed Issac Heller, the author. He steals the book and takes off too.

SCENE: New York present. Its a book signing. Isaac is there and makes a speech about his book.

"Thank you. Thank you very much! Please. Please, please. I-I-I'm not worthy... Someone once told me I don't tell stories people want. But I say, write what you're passionate about. That's what matters most. 'Heroes and Villains' is close to my heart. It's been a passion project for longer than you would believe. I wrote it because I think folks are sick of heroes getting everything in these classic fairy tales. Hence, the radically different endings for Snow White, Prince Charming, and all the rest... Something different for a modern audience. What happens when villains win the day?" 

Later he is signing books when Henry and Will arrive. He is worried when the page with the door is placed in front of him, then he looked up. "What are you doing here?" he asked cranky. "What did you do with them? And where are they?" Isaac shrugged, "I, uh... I have no idea what you're talking about." Henry knew better, "Uh-uh. You're lying. Now, you know what this does, so you either give me some answers or I open this door again and you get a whole new ending."

SCENE: New York. Present. Book signing. Issac takes Henry and Will to the back room with extra copy of his paperback. Henry once again demanded to know where everyone was. 

Issac sighed, "You really want to know? Look around you. They're all right there... In my best-selling book. Your family is fine. If you want to get technical... They're in here. See? The original copy of my book... The one that I always wanted to write. They all live in here now in kind of an alternate reality." He explained showing him the Heroes and Villain's Storybook. "You made them miserable." Isaac smiled, "I see that you've read some of my book. Good. Good. Then... Then you know that everyone got the ending they deserve. Except Emma, of course. You won't find her in the book. There was no room for a savior in my world."

Henry demanded him to fix it all and Issac confessed that he wasn't the author an more because of the rule he broke this time. "The cardinal rule of the Authors is 'don't write your own happy ending'. As you can see I broke that rule. So this... It's just a pen now. And me? Ohh. Well, I'm nothing more than a best-selling writer with legions of fans and a penthouse over central park." Henry jumped Issac and stole the Storybook. "If you cant get them out, then we will." Issac scoffed, "Now what? You're gonna tear up the book?" Henry finds a drawing with a house and a door. He then takes Wills an and uses the key on the book. "Wait!" Isaac yelled and all three of them were pulled into the book.
