Magic and Superheroes? How old did the lady think he was, he was twelve now old enough to know that sort of stuff was not real, that there was no real superheroes running around New York City saving the world. That magic was just a fantasy for little kids to believe in,  there was no magic in the real world, it just didn't exist, just in peoples imagination or in stories like, like Peter Pan. And if he thought about it if Peter Pan was real he would be different from the tale. Not only that the closest to a superhero really if he thought about it would be his mum, she was the best. He did however still red a few comic books and watch the TV shows as well as the movies, so while he didn't believe in that sort of stuff he still really liked superheroes. "I'm 12 now I know magic's not real you don't have to lie to me," the more she talked the more crazy he felt she was, but why did part of him want to believe her, it was like with that guy .

Henry wasn't sure what was going on and if these two people were working together, but right now he wanted back home with his mum, but according to this lady, she was missing, was that true? Henry was not sure if he should believe her or not. "I like wolverine he's cool," Henry decided to say and looking around as if he was just looking at the design of the walls, he was actually looking for the best escape route. For now though the boy decided just to respond and maybe pretend to believe what she was saying.

Once the Lady got up to look around Henry made sure to just glance everywhere seeing a few places he could exit through, but he knew right now was not the best time to use them as she would easily notice him escaping. Henry would just have to wait for the right moment. She soon came back over and motioned for him to follow, he went over to her and headed with her to the balcony, looking around swearing he heard some noise."Oz?" Henry questioned frowning "but th......." The boy paused mid sentence and his eyes widened at what he saw from the balcony, this place, it was just....... impossible, yet it was here and it was amazing, it was like what you would see in a film, but it couldn't possibly be real. "Is that the." Henry couldn't say it he was too busy trying to think, yet he couldn't there was a huge pain in his head and all he could think that he was just seeing things, instead he just pointed to the yellow brick road. He frowned yeah that was it, it had to be some building work for a film or something. He would of asked but just then he heard barking behind him. It was a dog, he turned around  and called it over. Maybe he could use the dog as a distraction to escape, and take the dog with him of course, it was so cute. "Hello there doggy. What's your name?"

Death befell a man who had once betrayed a son that hoped better for him, a man stricken with the greed of wanting more. More power, more control, to inflict more pain and suffering not just to the boy whom had grown up to become a man of his own but to the boys friends and loved ones. The boy whom had chosen a similar path that wasn't as terrible felt despite the fears he had for his father it was up to him to sacrifice everything from the ones he now loved to his very own life for the good of the town, held his father in a tight embrace and inserted the dagger through his flesh and into his father's upper back.

His eyes drifted over to everyone watching but most of his focus was on both the love of his life Belle and the son he had spent decades searching for and gave them a look of sorrow, a look that almost told the story itself. He knew in his heart that this would be the last time he would ever get to see them, in his mind he wanted to just hold them forever but with the dagger halfway inserted into Pan's back, physically telling them goodbye was an impossible feat. 

Gold expressed his goodbyes the only way he knew he could by giving them all a smile as a tear rolled down his cheek and fell freely from his chin onto Pan's shoulder and it was there that he pressed the dagger as far as it would go into his father's back and allowed the magic to do the rest. He hoped that the final request he made before his confrontation with Pan would hold true, a request that he made to Baelfire that Belle be kept safe and away from harm.

He knew that if anyone could protect the love of his life it would be the boy that had finally forgiven him for a life of pain that he too had caused much like Pan had caused him but Baelfire was a remarkable young man who had overcome so much during their departure, scenes that would traumatize any normal child if experienced, especially Neverland a place different from what was told in books for years.

The blue fog circled both individuals and within mere seconds it had engulfed the two leaving behind nothing but the leaves that had picked up from the wind created by the small magical storm and the memories of a man loved by few. Pan was gone, as was Gold. The only true good thing he ever did left him a hero to at least his darling Belle and his wonderful son Baelfire. The town was safe at least from Pan but not the cataclysm that was occurring around them.

Time had passed since the destruction of storybrooke that sent everyone who inhabited the town back to their original land, a sacrifice they had no choice to make or they each risked losing their lives, everyone one was safe, back together. All but one; Rumpelstiltskin.

What he had assumed happened did not come to pass but instead was subject to a fate far worse than he expected. The door within the Wicked Queen's castle slowly opened, the aged wood creaked from the pressure of the large wooden object being held by a few metal hinges. Rumpelstiltskin who was back to the form he was before the original curse had taken place wearing the attire he had often been seen in stepped across the thresh hold and into the room then closed the door behind him.

Regina Mills
Baelfire/Neal Cassidy
Regina and Baelfire – The Emerald Castle now awaits you. Enter if you dare. Belle will escape and try to find Rumple.

Zelena - Notice Regina entering your Palace.

Zelena was about to tell Henry she was sorry. She was told he was younger and now she was pretty mad about that. Made her look like an ass and she wasn’t sure what to say. That was when she seen the dog. Toto? What was he doing here? That only meant that Dorothy was here too.

Zelena looked around and smiled seeing the girl come for her dog. “Dorothy! It’s so nice to see you dear. I’m glad you could come to the castle. Have you met Henry?” She asked her. She wanted to hug her, but sensed that the girl was upset at her. She frowned and walked closer to Dorothy and whispered to her where she could only hear her. “Dorothy, please. I won’t hurt him. I just want to teach that Queen a lesson.” She looked up as one of her flying monkeys said something to her.

She gave a wicked smirk. “It looks like we have a visitor inside the castle. Henry I need to follow my monkey. The woman I told you about is in the castle and I don’t want her to hurt you.”

The more time that passed as they made their way to Zelena's abode, the angrier Regina got. How dare she! How dare that sorry excuse for a woman even think about taking her son! When she saw this "Wicked Witch of the West" she'd give her a whole new meaning of spontaneous combustion. The citizens of Oz gave the pair wide berth as they approached the castle, not knowing what was wrong and not wanting to get involved. Regina kept an eye out for flying monkeys in the sky as the front doors of Zelena's castle came into view. Barging in this way was, perhaps, not the smartest thing to do, but Regina couldn't bring herself to care at the moment. She wanted Zelena to know she was here, and then she wanted to electrocute her. Preferably before those flying monkeys of Zelena's captured them, because being locked up would certainly put a hole in their plans to rescue their loved ones.

As Regina walked through the castle her thoughts drifted to Henry. Was he alright? What was Zelena doing to him? And what did this Wicked Witch have against her that she would kidnap Henry in the first place? Henry was supposed to be in the land without magic, the land he had grown up in, and she knew from personal experience that getting to another land was no easy feat. It had taken the dark curse for her and the rest of Storybrooke's former residents to get there, so this Zelena must really hate her to have put so much effort into a plan she could only assume was for revenge. The thought that it would be Regina's fault if Henry was hurt or worse filled her with dread.

But now was not the time to think of such things. She quickly cast a spell to find out where Henry was and followed the path it showed her. She was sorry to leave Belle to her fate, but she was sure the woman would understand. Henry must always come first. She could only hope that she and Belle would meet up soon. She quickly came to a halt as she saw a flying monkey approaching with a woman behind it and narrowed her eyes. This must be her then, the infamous Wicked Witch of the West.

Bae continued to follow Regina towards the castle of the one known as Zelena. Images of Henry kept flashing through his head and with every step, he was getting closer to seeing his son again. He was getting more and more anxious as to what to expect when they got there. Bae was sure that Henry was fine, he had to believe that. He wasn't going to let bad thoughts into his head.

Bae looked up as Regina did, not sure what they were looking for, but, thought they must've been dangerous, if she was watching for them. Bae caught up to Regina and stopped next to her, Bae looked and saw some kind of flying thing coming to land in front of them. This must be her, Zelena. Bae could see no sign of Henry and was tempted to leave and search for him, but, decided to stay put with Regina.

lie to me, convince me that I've been sick forever

The room was cold and Belle could hear her teeth chattering against themselves. The only light she had to read her spell book came from a small crevice in the wall that allowed the moon into the room. She frowned while trying to scan her books for some kind of trick to escape the room that held her captive. Belle was not about to let bars of iron keep her from the man she loved. Her frown deepened when the words seemed to scatter across the ancient rune pages. The book was enchanted and complicated, and unfortunately for her Rumple was not around to disband the spell.

Her thoughts were disturbed by two rat fighting over a piece of cheese in the next cell. She had not taken the time to glance into the other cells because she had been lost in her own convictions. Curiosity allowed her to pause her book reading long enough to climb up on an old piece of wood in her cell to peer into the cracks of the other room. A man stood frozen in chains and lost in some kind of spell. The rats tumbled and rolled towards her knocking a familiar bottle in her direction. It did not take long for the beauty to realize who was in the cell next to her. A man of power despite his objections, her best friend, the Knave.

Her light cyan eyes scanned the area trying to figure out why he was there and why he was frozen. What was the Wicked Witch planning to do with him? She had not touched his bottle, but instead left him immobilized. She tried to reach his bottle from underneath the metal bars that separated them. Belle was not going to leave him trapped in a frozen wasteland. The situation was dire and disheartening.

“Will,” She whispered weakly. Belle knew he could hear her, but she did not know how to free him. Maybe if she could get his bottle she could make a wish for him to be unbound. That was the only plan that came to her mind, “Damn it,” She winced as her tender flesh tore on an old rusty nail. She quickly tied a piece of her gown around the cut hoping that it would stop the bleeding long enough for her to find another method in this madness.

Belle took the hair clip out of her hair allowing her auburn chocolate strands to cascade across her shoulders. She pulled the end of the clip with her teeth and her hand trying to create a large hook. Her hands wandered to them hem of her dress again. Belle tore at it until she had a long enough piece to fashion a rope. She smiled appeased with her work. When the hook was securely tied to the end of the cloth she tossed it into his cell hoping her fishing moments in the Enchanted Forest had paid off. After a few tries she managed to catch his bottle and pulled it into her cell. Her fingers eagerly rubbed the bronze bottle to no avail. Belle then did something that she should have known better than to do. She threw a fireball into Will’s cell only to have it bounce back into hers. The woman cursed and hit the floor without a second thought. Her magic had grown stronger than she had expected and she was untrained and uncontrolled. Those two factors made her a hazard to herself. Belle stood up slowly in typical Belle style and brushed herself off as if nothing embarrassing had happened.

“Right, well that did not quite work out quite like I had intended it to,” She laughed nervously to herself and ran her fingers along the cold iron. She knew he was watching her and probably upset with her for pulling a stunt that she should have known would backfire. Belle sighed as her fingers ran along invisible enchantments. Knave was protected from magic, and that included his lamp. She would have to get somewhere outside of Zelena’s spell to summon him, “I promise you Will… I will free you from this prison. Forgive me for enslaving you to me. I know you know what this means.” Their friendship would forever be changed because she would become his master. Any other woman would have been thrilled at having a powerful genie at her side, especially in this situations, but she was not an ordinary woman. Her gaze lingered on him for a few minutes before turning back to her book. It hit her then, a simple spell. She rolled her eyes at the luck she was having and waved her hand at the lock. The lock turned and the door opened with a small creak of opposition.

She slid out of the cell and paused looking in Will’s direction. It tore her up inside that she had to leave him, but Belle would find a way to save him. Even if it killed her. She had once been a Princess spoiled with whatever riches she could have wanted, but instead she had chosen books. Her choices had left her rather naïve to the insides of a palace and the luxuries that were unnecessarily held so high. The Emerald Castle was not an exception. The walls glistened with dark Emeralds that Belle could only assume had come off of the back of the munchkin workers. A distant light attracted her and she followed it until it took her out of the dungeon and into the Palace hallway. Belle looked completely out of place. Her hair was wild, her eyes lost, her arm bleeding, and her dress completely torn and tattered. She frowned and slid against the wall hoping to stay out of view.

“Hey you!” A man called, well she had thought it was a man until she got a good look. A monkey walking upright and about her height stood next to her. He was imposing and powerful. It was a magic she had only faintly experienced. Her eyes widened as he grabbed her by the arm. Her blood seeped through his fingertips as he squeezed her bad arm. She winced and moved her other arm back forming a ball of white light. The white light danced with a purple blaze as she pounded it into his face. The smell of burning flesh brought her out of her trance as she stared down at the monkey man. His face had been completely rearranged and seared of any traceable features. His blood had sprayed across her face and in cold blood she had killed him.

“Oh my.. Go..d..” She whispered while falling against the back of the wall once more. What kind of monster was she turning into? Before she could answer the question that seemed to be plaguing her thoughts her hands frantically rubbed on the bottle, “Knave.. I wish for you to be free of your chains and to be with me.”

In the prison cell that held the genie life began to flicker across his frozen features like the spring melting the winter. A light of hope shimmered and danced consuming him in all of its beauty until he was completely free. He was instantly teleported to where Belle was. The old heavy wooden doors opened before them. A man stood behind a woman with green skin. The woman had strikingly beautiful red curls and Regina was distracting her. It was the man that Belle kept her eyes locked on. He was here? She had finally found him. Her voice carried like cupid’s arrow into Rumple’s heart. She had found him.

“RUMPELSTILTSKIN!” She screamed hysterically.

and all of this will make sense when i get better

Dorothy followed Toto out onto the balcony, Toto loved meeting new people and Dorothy expected this from him. Dorothy began to walk over to the kid holding her dog when Zelena acknowledged her, Dorothy hadn't met this kid and was happy to, he seemed sweet. "Nice to meet you Henry, I see you met my dog Toto." Dorothy smiled and finished the walk over to Henry.

Dorothy was taken by surprise when Zelena walked over to her and whispered something to her. Dorothy started to whisper something back at her. "I know you won't hurt him, but, you shouldn't use an 12 year old as bait." Dorothy said keeping her voice in a whisper, and glimpsing over at the kid that she now knew as Henry.

Dorothy turned back to Zelena "Especially one who has no idea what magic or any of this is" Dorothy wasn't sure if she was listening, but, she said what she had to. Dorothy smiled and walked over to Henry, "You know I think he likes you." Dorothy said, patting Toto and looking at the kid. "His name's Toto." There was something about this kid Dorothy liked as well.

Dorothy watched as Zelena told Henry to go with her flying monkey, that must mean that the Queen was here. Dorothy decided she'd go with Henry and the monkey, she had dealt with them before and knew how to keep this kid safe if she had to.
Henry Mills@zelena

The last thing will remembered he was in storybrooke. And now waking up in front of belle in a strange land. he looked around then at Belle. He was a little confused and all he could do was stare at her for a minute. before feeling something and looking at her. "Mistress Mine my will is thine. Tell me your wishes three." Will was a little confused and looked at Belle for a minute. He was a little upset and looked at her. "what the bloody hell happen belle why am i your genie?" He felt bad the minute he said it to belle because he knew she wouldnt of done it with out a good reason.

"Im sorry belle i know there is a good reason" He looked around and sighed still feeling a little bad. but now a little curious. "Where are we Belle? " He said looking at the place and feeling a bit out of it. He had only been to a few lands and right away he knew this was not one of them.

Mr. Gold Henry Mills Wicked Witch of the West Regina Mills Belle French

The Dog was very nice he found himself getting quite a lot of kisses from it, as he stroked it and said hello giving the dog a large amount of fuss, the dog responded favourably to that, which didn't surprise Henry at all, all dog's loved fuss and he was glad this one was no different, when he saw his mum again he decided he should ask her for a dog. He looked up as a girl, the owner of the dog said hello to him and he smiled at her a genuine friendly smile, she seemed nice, a lot nicer than the other lady, though for some reason a part of him wanted to believe the lady about this person Regina. There was just something about the name, every time he heard it there was stabbing pain in his head, like a warning. However he was not sure to believe her not, she maybe being nice, but she had her man knock him out, if she truly wanted to keep him safe why not talk to him at the park? His gut was telling him two things, that this lady and this Regina were both bad.

"He's a really cool dog, I like his name, it's like the film, are you playing Dorothy?" He pointed out at the balcony already having come to the conclusion that it was a very realistic film set, that's why the lady was green, she was going to play the wicked witch and it was paint not a skin condition, that had to be it . He smiled at the girl again and held out his hand for her to shake before going back to the dog. Doing this was a good way to get people to believe he was more interested in the dog than anything else, the dog was really nice but now he just needed to seem like he was distracted and not planning an escape. He did notice someone enter the room but what he didn't notice was the wing's, he just thought it was one of the lady's guards and went back to looking at his best escape route. 

The lady seemed to want to go now and he stood up as  she mentioned that this Regina had arrived, "okay I'll stay here then safe, she won't get me here," Henry added with a big false friendly smile, he was still weary of her, and he watched her go only just realizing that she had.......flown of with a monkey. Henry started open eyed for a bit. There had to be wires, he told himself. Though something was compelling him to go back to balcony, just as he heard a really loud scream of a sort. He looked at the strange monkey man that had stayed then down at the dog. "I really like him as well," Henry said before stepping away from the monkey and onto the balcony, where he took a look at the distance. There were figures so small but he could just about see them, there was one extremely angry looking women. 

He cast his eyes upon her and a crushing pain roared up through his ears and into his head, causing the twelve year old to stumble, he could wear his nose bled a bit, he didn't know he wasn't here it was like he was elsewhere, just listening to words somewhere he had been before, but just glimpses.

There was that lady's voice it cut through his mind like a dagger that cut through flesh " Horrible woman named Regina is after you." It repeated as flashes came to him bit by bit causing him a mass amount of pain, he swore he slid down a wall but he was only half concious of where he was. 

He was suddenly in a forest there was a well and he was facing towards a women, yes that women who stood very far off in the distance, just different clothing, she was looking at him for a moment, there was something in her hand a fireball and for a moment he felt a flicker of fear well up before the scene changed. A new voice spoke it was his own, but he never remembered saying it. "You really are the evil queen," this time it was a picture of her in some strange dress threatening a man and a women, next he was at the well again but it was glowing green and it looked very bad. "You can’t! Stop it! You can’t! You’re going to kill them! Please! No! " There was his voice again distraught, every time he felt something new come a memory it must be he felt terrified,  and this women seemed to be the source of them. Then the last memory struck him of this Regina and his mum standing there glaring at each other, then there was a sign called Storybrooke.

His eyes cleared and he felt a pounding headache he tried to move but there was one of those  monkeys towering above him, he remembered this women now, Regina, she was the Evil Queen, he wasn't sure how but there was magic maybe it was really or just a form of science he was unsure. Now he knew this Evil Queen had tried to kill his mother in the past and possibly him, when he thought of her he knew the lady was right, and every time he thought of her he felt a fear strike his heart as if he should not even go near her.  Though he also felt the Lady could not be trusted. Henry wiped the blood away from his nose and looked up at the monkey quickly grabbing onto something near by and whacking the monkey with it, it made it stumble back but nothing more. The dog Toto seemed to attack it as he tried to stand up. "Nee...e...d to get out of here." He turned to Dorothy not realizing how close he was stumbling to the edge of the balcony, dangerously so, "I need to get back to my mum, I'm in danger here," with both the lady and Regina he felt that both wanted to hurt him in some way, he needed to get home to see if his mum was safe. "Please?" He asked desperately just wanting to get away, away from the Lady and Regina.

Dorothy looked at the kid and smiled. She walked over to both him and her dog. "Yeah, you could say that" Dorothy said, with a giggle. Dorothy shook his hand and watched as Henry picked up her dog. Dorothy could tell that he was having a hard time with taking in all of this information. 

Dorothy watched as one of the flying monkeys entered the room, Dorothy noticed Henry look at him, before completely ignoring it. Dorothy liked that he was standing his ground, she could tell that he was determined to stay here, although, he actually believed he was safe.

Dorothy stepped back as she noticed something was happening with him. Dorothy stayed next to Henry and thought he was remembering something, Dorothy cleaned up his nose bleed a bit, as he continued to stay there. Dorothy watched as Henry went to swing at the monkey and Dorothy rushed over and pulled him forward stopping him from falling off the balcony.

Dorothy pulled Henry into a hug and smiled "Come on. You're safe now." Dorothy let go of him and picked up Toto and handed him to Henry, "Here, you hold Toto and I'll get you out of here." Dorothy said, smiling and taking another look at Zelena before going to take Henry from the house of this witch.

Bae continued to follow Regina and saw the castle come into sight. Bae smiled as he saw that he was closer to getting back his son. Bae had missed the first 11 years of his son's life and had attempted to make things right and had succeeded, but, now his son didn't remember any of it. 

Bae looked at Regina, who hadn't stopped since they began to walk towards this castle. Bae still wasn't sure what to expect from the owner of this castle. Bae took a closer look at the castle and finally spotted something up on the balcony. "Oh my god!" Bae saw his son walking closer to the balcony and he saw a sigh of relief, as there was a girl who pulled him forward, saving his life. Bae rushed up to Regina's side and looked at him "Regina stop. Look" Bae said, putting up to where he spotted their son. 

Zelena was hurt. Dorothy didn’t see eye to eye to what she was doing. She was her friend why wasn’t she taking her side. Nevertheless, she had work to do. She gave Dorothy the look as If she wanted her to know she was hurt. She went down to the entrance of the castle where her guests were about to enter. She was ready for them. Her head was swimming with thoughts of her past. It was like she almost didn’t notice they were there.

She leaned down to the monkey near her and said “I need you to go check on the boy and Dorothy. Do not hurt them! I mean it!” She said and flicked her hand opening the huge doors that entered the castle.

“Please come in. I was expecting you.” She smiled wickedly and played with the potion bottle in her hand.

Just Henry Swan

-------------------

Henry was pretty sure another one of those strange men would find them, that women would send one up to them surely. No they were not men they were Flying monkeys, real flying monkeys, but this was just wired, it couldn't be real. I't can't why did I not know this, why is my head hurting. Henry was not sure what was going on, but these memories he was getting were telling the boy one thing. That he had encountered something like this before and that women, that evil lady Regina had something to do with it. It was like there had been a block on these memories, but now he knew magic was sort of real. It was a strange concept, really but if he had been near it before it couldn't be that strange.

Something told him though that these memories or whatever they were, well they weren't supposed to come back, most of his thought's were jumbled and there was huge stabbing pain just ripping through him as if something had been cut into. That nose bleed he had, felt like the least of his problems. he was a little worried now unsure of what to do or if he was even hurt.

"Thank you um Dorothy," Henry said wincing as pain started up again, "are you the real Dorothy,"  he frowned, that was such a strange question "I mean it can't be real but is it? Magic I mean?" Henry asked her holding the dog and stroking it trying to make himself feel better but he started to feel slightly hotter than normal. "We should go out that door," Said Henry running to the door on their left. "She went the other way and we don't want to go that way right?"
