Once Upon A Time: Hook's Adopted Son (Book 1)

The Thing You Love Most

By morning, the clock tower was still up and running, time has been unfrozen. Everyone looked happy as things changed, well almost everyone. Regina took Henry's book and started flipping through it. She still remembers everything from the curse and she still wants to see if Emma is apart of the book. However, when she hit the final page of the book, some of the pages were missing.

The pages looked like they were ripped out by someone. She marched into Henry's room and asked him about the pages. "It's an old book. Stuff's missing. What do you care?" Herny asked.

"I care because you think I'm some Evil Queen. And that hurts me, Henry. I'm your mother." said Regina.

Henry just told her no and finished getting ready for school. She isn't liking what this book or Emma is doing to Henry. She thought both were no longer an issue but once she heard the chime of the clocktower, she got suspicious. Once Henry left for school, Regina headed to the clock tower and stared at it as it still chimed.

Archie was walking by with his dog Pongo and Harry when they saw Regina looking at the clock. "Look at that, guess those rusty old innards finally straightened themselves out." Archie guessed.

She saw Emma's car and that meant that Emma is still in town. Regina grabbed a basket of apples from her house then headed to Granny's Inn and knocked on Emma's door. Emma opened the door and was a little shocked the Regina was being nice. She even offered Emma an apple and told her to enjoy them on her ride home. Emma revealed that she was staying for a while and that changed Regina's mood.

"I'm not sure that's such a good idea. Henry has enough issues. He doesn't need you confusing him." Regina spoke in a threatening tone.

Emma was just trying to keep her cool around Regina but after being threatened by her in the last 12 hours twice it's only making her stay more. She can tell when people are lying and right now Regina is telling more lies than ever. Emma only wants to see if Henry is okay but Regina told her that he's fine.

"Any problems he has are being taken care of." Regina bluntly stated.

"What does that mean?" Emma asked.

"It means I have him in therapy. It's all under control. Take my advice, Miss Swan, only one of us knows what's best for Henry." Regina replied.

Emma pretended to agree with Regina, she wanted Emma to leave but she wasn't going anywhere. "Don't underestimate me, Miss Swan. You have no idea what I'm capable of." Regina spoke in a threatening voice.

(The Enchanted Forest)

After The Evil Queen threatened to destroy Snow White and Prince Charming's happy ending, she headed for the door. Charming took a chance to throw a sword at the Evil Queen but she used her magic to transport to her castle and led the sword to hit the wall. The Queen's butler asked if she would like a drink. She snapped at him but she did take the drink.

"Now that was an awfully big threat." the magic mirror spoke to the queen. "Destroy everyone's happiness? How do you plan on accomplishing that?"

The Evil Queen planned on using The Dark Curse however, she made a deal with someone when she gave away that curse because it was too powerful. She traded it for the curse to put Snow White into enchantment sleep. Her own butler begged her not to do it since the person that the queen gave the curse too, won't be happy to see her. "Since when do I care about anyone else's happiness but mine. Prepare the carriage. We're going to the Forbidden Fortress." the queen stated.

The Forbidden Fortress was the home of the evilest villain in fairytale history. The Dark Fairy, The Mistress of Evil herself, Maleficent. Once the Queen had entered Maleficent's lair, she and Maleficent were talking about the idea of the dark curse over tea.
