Storybrooke. Present-day.
ERICA CHASED AFTER her nephew as he continued to peddle as fast as he could with a determined look on his face. Last night there was a big storm in town, big enough that it managed to knock down a few power cables, but not enough that they would be without power for the whole day and Henry was worried that someone was after the book that he had hidden in his castle -- however it seemed, as the approached that the winds that roared like a beast trying to escape a cage had only ripped apart the castle as it tore through it in order to get closer to the town.
Erica huffed a sigh as she tried to catch her breath, she had outrun countless criminals and been able to keep up with many more but keeping up with Henry when he was on a mission to save something close to his heart, now that was a near-impossible feat. Looking over the way Erica spotted her sister sitting in her yellow bug and waved to her, she hoped her sister would get the message and hopefully slow down her son.
"Hey, Henry" Emma chirped as she got out of the car, but was promptly ignored as Henry whizzed past her, still determined on his mission and oh so close. Emma turned towards her sister with wide eyes and Erica shrugged as Emma muttered "Nice to see you too"
Henry's cry of outrage broke the whistling of the wind "The storm!"
The ten-year-old boy dropped his bicycle where it stood as he got off it and surged forward towards the play structure that he had taken to call the 'castle' and leaving the two sisters to only glance at each other before trailing behind him "It's alright kid, I'm sure we get Marco to come and fix it" Emma tried to assure her son but one glance at it from Erica and Erica knew it could no longer be salvaged and the storm had done its damaged, quickly and without mercy
However, Henry seemed to not be listening as he started digging around in the sand "Where do you think it is?" He asked the two women behind him in a desperate tone
"Kid, whoa, hey, slow down' Erica states "What are you looking for?"
"My book!" Henry exclaimed still digging in the sand
"Why'd you bury it here?"
"So my mom doesn't find it!" Henry says as if it was the most simple thing in the world
"Hiding it under your mattress wasn't good enough?"
"That's the first place the Evil Queen would look"
"How bout leaving it with us?"
"Second place" Henry breathed as he opened up a container and looked inside of it "It's still here. Good"
"So your mom doesn't know about the castle?" Emma asked raising a brow
"No, this is our secret place," He tells her looking between the two women
As if on cue and as if she knew what the trio of people gathered was talking about, Erica turned around when she heard tyres breaking and saw Regina a royally pissed off look on her face as she marched towards Henry "Henry! What are you doing here? You know you have a session with Archie this morning and I've been looking all over for you" She then let her gaze slide over to the two twin sisters that seemed to be causing just about all of her problems "Although I should have guessed he was with you two. So you two let him play here then? Do you realise how dangerous that is?"
