AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey guys this is my new fanfic, I hope you enjoy it. The idea has been in my head for a while so I thought I should write it. Reviews are always welcomed. It's kinda like a future fic. Also Henry is like 18 in this so baby Neal is 6 and Roland is 10, Just to clarify.
Prologue
Henry barges into Gold's shop quickly, but sees Gold isn't there. While he looks around he finds she an old, brown, ripped shawl and picks it up.
"That belonged to your father" Henry turns around to see Gold at the counter.
"I'm sorry I'll put it back."
"No its fine, Henry. You barely knew him so you should have something to remember him by" says Gold with a look of sympathy and sadness on his face.
"Urm thanks, but you should keep it, I insist" He puts the shawl back down. "But I came here to talk to you about something else"
"Ahh. The upcoming curse I guess"
"Yes. Well here's the thing, if my mom's the saviour but if she's going to be cursed as she can't leave now, who is going to break it?"
"That I don't know, Henry"
"Well, you must know something. You created the curse."
"I'm sorry I don't. The witch casting it protected the town so the people who lived here can't leave or when they do they must come back and all I know is it will work as it did before. Taking away Happy Endings and they won't remember who they are, but maybe a few slight alterations are in this curse." Gold says and move around to the other counter at the side and Henry follows.
"But there must be something. Like true love or whatever."
"No, sorry but—wait something might work but it is risky"
"What is it?"
"Well, your mother is the product of True love, the Saviour so she must break the curse but she will be frozen in time so she is unable to"
"Yes I know that" Henry interrupts while scowling at Gold.
"Oh you are like you are so much like your mother. Both" says Gold but Henry is still scowling "Anyway, I shall continue, if someone who is from here but was not affected by the spell they can leave and come back and stop time being Frozen but must be a product of true love." Henry releases what he is saying and tenses up. "Do you understand?"
"My sister"
"Correct"
"But she's only 6 months old and my mom or Killian can't take her, and the curse will be here in the next 2 days"
"I know that. So you must take her."
"Me? Why?"
"Well since you are not from the enchanted forest you will be able to leave but you have to come back. As I have told you. You must take her, put her somewhere safe, and then get back here as soon as you can"
"Mom and Killian will not agree to that, not after what they've been through."
"Then don't tell them"
"Are you serious?" Henry asks with disbelief.
"Quite. Say you would like a day out with your sister or something. Make an excuse; Leave a note, just something. Get her somewhere safe and then come back. Anyway they won't remember it, will they?"
"Yes, But how will she know to come here"
"You'll find her. When the clock hits her seventeenth birthday your memories will return and you will be able to leave the town and find her. And now I think we are finished here" Says Gold and he starts to walk to the back of the shop.
"Wait a second" Henry says and gold stops. "You said you didn't know how this curse would work yet you seem confident this plan will. What are you hiding? Who is casting this Curse?"
"You'll have to find out in sixteen and a half years. Do what I say and I'll tell you then" Gold moves closer towards Henry "Do we have a deal?"
"Deal" Says Henry and starts to move towards the door.
"Ah. Henry" Gold stops him and Henry turns around.
"What?"
"Give your sister something to remember you by"
"Her name. Caitlyn Jones-Swan"
