Five Days Ago In Storybrooke...

"Go to Ruby, please sweetie," Calista said.

"Okay, Mama," Naomi said and started to leave.

"Naomi, I need you to do something," Mr Gold crouched down to her and she stepped back into her uncle nervously and Killian placed his hand on his shoulder, "I need you to listen to me, Greg and Tamara weren't working alone, others will follow... I need you to," He took out a small sheet of paper and handed it to his daughter, "After we've gone, follow these instructions," Mr Gold said.

Naomi looked at it, "What is it?" She asked.

"It's a cloaking spell. It'll shield the town, making it impossible for anyone to find," Mr Gold said.

"Then how will Mama come back to me?" Naomi said worriedly.

"I... I'll make sure she does okay... Can you do this for me?" Mr Gold said.

"When you're gone, follow instructions and save the town," Naomi said.

"That's right," Mr Gold said.

"You know I'm still eleven right?" Naomi asked and hugged her uncle then walked to her mother hugging her, "Be careful," She said.

"I promise sweetie," Calista said and watching Naomi getting off the ship.

"Naomi..." Belle said.

"Don't," Naomi said and walked to Ruby hugging her, "Mama said I have to stay with you," Naomi said.

"That... That's fine," Ruby said and hugged back.

They watched as the Jolly Roger disappeared into a portal, Naomi walked forward looking at where they disappeared she silently cried. 

Leroy, the dwarfs, Archie and Mother Superior came running onto the docks, "They did it! They saved us! They did save us, didn't they?" Leroy watched Naomi turning around to them crying, "Tears of joy?" Leroy asked.

"Are you okay?" Archie asked.

"What happened? Where is everyone?" Mother Superior asked.

"W-When they stopped the self-destruct device those people who came... They kidnapped Henry, they took him through a portal," Naomi said.

"A portal to where?" Mother Superior asked.

"I-I-I don't know. Everyone else followed them on Uncle Killian's ship," Naomi said.

"Why'd you stay behind?" Leroy asked,

"Because I had to," Naomi said and took out the scroll, removed the vial from it and showed the scroll to Mother Superior.

"It's a cloaking spell, why?" Mother Superior asked.

"Because Papa said... He said that other's were coming," Naomi said.
