This is something I thought up of I hope you like it. It starts in season one after emma tried to take Henry out of storybrooke with her but Henry convinces her not to it's the next morning.
Henry stood outside by the gate of his house waiting for Regina to walk him to the bus stop. He sighed and leaned against the fence. Just last night he thought, I could have gotten away from here, from my mom and the curse, I could be living with emma right now. But I can't, his thoughts continued I have to stay so emma can break the curse, I just really wish she would hurry up.
"You look pretty upset", Henry whirled around and gasped. He saw a girl leaning against a silver car."Who are you?"he asked looking surprised. No one ever came to storybrooke, except for August but he was different.
"My name is Sara", she answered her hand outstretched. Henry shook it hesitantly,"I don't mean to be nosy", he started,"But what are you doing here".
"It's pretty simple", she replied stepping closer and leaning down to whisper"I know about the curse".
"Hello", an ever polite voice spoke behind them, it was Regina."Who are you?",she inquired
."Sara Bell", she answered shaking Regina's hand.
"I'm the Mayer of this town", Regina stated,"and I hope you don't mind me asking but what are you doing are you doing here?"
"I'm here for research on a paper", Sara replied,"it's on urban sprawl and I thought this would be a good place to start".
Regina smiled coldly,"you drove here yourself?",
" I'm sixteen, I have my license", Sara justified.
"Well", Regina said,"I wish you good luck with your," she paused, "research". She spun on heel and stalked away taking Henry with her.
"Thanks" Sara muttered under her breath,"I will need it".
The bells chinked and the evil queen stalked into 's shop." Your Majesty",he greeted,"to what do I owe the pleasure".
" My tree is dying",she spat slamming down one of the rotting apples," Why".
"Perhaps it is your fertilizer", he advised sarcastically.
" You think this is funny", she said angrily." Well I'll tell you what I think", she continued,"I think it's a sign that the curse is weakening, because of Emma"."Oh, and to top it off", she added,"there's this random person who just drove into town last night and I think", she said lowering her voice,"that she knows about the curse".
" Do you think she a threat to you", Gold paused,"I know that's not all that's bothering you", he stated,"Ms. Swan wants the boy, Henry".
"She'll have him over my dead body",Regina defended.
" Perhaps he is the price you have to pay to keep the curse unbroken", Gold said.
"I'd rather just get rid of both of them",she countered.
"Whew", Mr,Gold breathed,"well well,your going to have to be quite creative, we both know the repercussions of killing ".
" The curse would be broken", they said in harmony." That's because you designed it that way",Regina stated coming closer to the desk,"undo it".
Gold exhaled," you know, even if I wanted to I couldn't, magic well is in short supply around here and is dwindling by the minute".
" You want the curse broken"Regina realized," why".
"I'd like to keep that to myself", he said,"but I'll give you a piece of advice, once people wake of and realize what you did to them",Gold continued,"they'll be looking for blood, so you should find a place to hide".
Emma walked into the sheriff office sighing over the the fight she just had with Mary Margaret about her trying to leave with Henry. She was about to turn the light on when she saw someone had done that for her, she looked up and saw a person waiting for her there.
"Um, can I help you", she asked.
" Yes, I'm Sara Bell", the girl said," I wanted to talk to you about about your son, Henry".
" Do you know him, is something wrong", Emma asked scared.
" No nothing's wrong", Sara reassured her,"but it's very important".
"I'm way to overloaded right now, you know what", Emma said scribbling something on a piece of paper,"this is my address, come by later today".
" Sure", Sara said pocketing it,"I'll see you later then".
Henry rushed up the stairs to Augusts room and knock loudly on the door. "Hang on", came his voice. He opened the door.
" August, please I need your help", Henry panted," Emma wants to leave".
"What, slow down", August said.
" You were gonna make her believe, you have to", Henry accused.
" I know Henry, I'm sorry, I..", he paused,"I failed".
"Failed", Henry asked,
"I tried to show her", August continued," at first it was my legs and now", he said pulling down his sleeve,"take a look, at the unvarnished truth". He showed him his arm.
"It's wood", Henry said surprised.
" Yes",August said sadly.
" All of this", Henry started,"the curse, it's real!".
" Your a smart kid" August admitted.
"And your Pinocchio!" Henry realized.
"Yes, what gave it away", he joked sadly
." Your turning back to wood", Henry stated," but your story, you should be real".
" I'm changing back because", August started,"I haven't exactly been a good boy and if the curse doesn't break", he paused,"this doesn't stop".
" So we show Emma that your turning back into the puppet you were", Henry said," then she has to believe and when she does she can break the curse".
"I tried that", August said,"she doesn't want to see so she doesn't, there's nothing more I can do", he stopped,"I'm getting tired, it's hard to ride, it's hard to walk, soon", he paused,"it's gonna be hard to breath".
" So we have to do something fast",Henry said.
"There's nothing left to do", August said," and with what little time I have left, I want to spend it with my father".
"Marco"
"Told you your a smart kid"
"No",Henry started,"there's still hope, this person just drove here last night and she knows about the curse, she told me. I don't know what she's doing here but maybe she wants to break the it!".
"What's this persons name?", August asked.
"She said her name is Sara", Henry replied.
"Listen to me Henry", August said,"if you see her again tell not to try to find me, tell her that there is no hope left for me".
"OK", Henry promised, and he left.
August rounded a corner on the way to his fathers workshop and stopped."I thought I told you not to come",he called out. Sara stepped out of the shadows
"I'm sorry I just had to make sure you were OK,dad", she said.
"You shouldn't call me that, I gave you up for adoption"
"Does that make you any less my father, your the one who gave me this!"
She held out a small locket. He took it in his hand
"my father gave this to me right before he sent me through the wardrobe, it was supposed to help me remember what I had to do".
"Well it helped me remember who you are and where you came from, it's magic has allowed us to see our pasts and the pasts of everyone who lives in this town"Sara cried.
"It's really helping me now that I turning back to wood", August said sadly.
" Listen", Sara pleaded,"I'm meeting Emma tonight, I'm going to make her believe so she can break the curse and save you".
" I all ready tried, she is determined not to believe" August replied.
"Don't worry", Sara said,"I can be very persuasive".
" I hope so",August said,"because I'm done".
As Emma walked down the stairs in her and Mary Margret's loft she heard knock on the door, she opened it. "Hi Emma", Henry greeted,"is everything OK, you sounded strange over the walkie".
" Oh um ..no I'm OK," Emma answered,"it's just um, yesterday when I tried to take you away, you were right. I can't take you out of storybrooke,"she paused,"but I can't stay either".
"What?",Henry said shocked."I have to go",Emma said
." Go, but leave storybrooke?".
" Yeah, I spoke to Regina and we made a deal, I'm still going to be able to see you", she paused,"just not everyday".
" No no!", Henry cried," you can't trust her".
Knock knock.
"Were you expecting someone?", Henry asked. "Yes could you get that I left something upstairs," Emma answered then walked up the stairs. Henry opened the door, it was Sara.
" Hi Henry, is your mother here?",she asked.
" Who are you, how do you know about the curse?",Henry whispered.
"It's a long story,"Sara sighed,"I have to get Emma to believe so she can save August and everybody".
" Do you know how hard I have been trying?" Henry told her,"she won't believe and August told me that he has given up".
"I know," Sara answered,"but I have to try".
" Henry, who wa-," Emma started to say as she came down the stairs." Oh,hi Sara I actually about to leave right now".
"Emma, were did you get that?",Henry demanded pointing at a apple turnover sitting on the counter.
"Oh, that I got it from you mom, do you want it".
" It's apple!", he exclaimed,"don't eat that it's poisoned".
"Henry," Emma started exasperated," it's not poison I'll prove it to you," she picked it up and started to take a bite.
"No", Henry grabbed it out of her hand.
"Henry,stop don't do it", Sara called out.
"I'm sorry Emma I have to protect you", he said and he took a bite. Nothing happened.
" See, do you want some ice cream with that Henry,". He collapsed on the floor."Henry!", Emma shouted.
