Hello, Omegathekid back with another story that will probably never be finished. Not by me anyway. Basically, I wasn't going to post this, I idea had sparked, but then it fissiled out. I'm not sure if I should continue or not, so here's what we're going to do. I'm going to go ahead and post the three chapters that I've written, then, if you guys end up actually liking it, I'll consider finishing. Please, leave a review if you do want me to finish, or give one if you think this is trash and should never be continued. I'm open for feedback, and I can't quite get that through favorites and follows (Not that I mind those). Anyway, enough of me rambling, on with the show.
What Henry did not expect when he woke up this morning was to be kidnapped. He was minding his business, writing something random with his quill, when suddenly, a fairy came flying through the window. Before he could even react, he was unconscious.
He woke up in a jail cell, there was another boy sitting across from him. He looked somewhat familiar, though he couldn't put his finger on where from. He was holding a book, and Henry could just barely make out the title. "Her Handsome Hero".
"Hello? Who are you?"
"My name is Gideon, who are you?" Henry stared at the boy, shock clear in his eyes. The revelation of his name along with the book laying at his side could only mean one thing.
"You said your name was Gideon?"
"Yes…"
"I think you might be my uncle."
"I'm sorry, what? How can I be your uncle? Your, like, three or four years older than me."
"Listen, my grandmother, well not quite grandmother, but that's beside the point, her name is Belle. She just yesterday gave birth to a baby, who she named Gideon. She gave him that book, "Her Handsome Hero", to remind him to be a hero. You have that book; your name is Gideon. You must be my uncle."
"I still don't understand how you could be older than me."
"Well perhaps that fairy could explain things."
"I would be oh, so, happy too, my son" The voice made Henry's blood run cold. Her cheerful disposition, yet behind it, a sinister mind.
"I'm not your son."
"I'll admit, you are older than I would usually take, but after finding out our relation, not to mention your power, well, I just couldn't help myself,"
"Where are we? Who are you?"
"Maybe we should go somewhere more private, after all, young ears," she glanced at Gideon, before making herself and Henry reappear on the top floor "Now, you really don't see the family resemblance? I suppose you do take after the more charming side of your family, but still. I'm your great grandmother. My sweet Rumple's mother." The news shattered down on Henry's mind. He couldn't believe it, his father's side just got weirder.
"How come grandpa never talked about you? I know all about Pan, or Malcolm, but he never mentioned his mother,"
"Oh, I suppose he wouldn't. Don't worry, I don't need him. I have you and Gideon now, my sons,"
"I'm not going to be your son, I already have two moms, I don't need a third; I'm going to make sure Gideon gets back to his real parents, and then, we are going to stop you from doing whatever it is you plan to do,"
"Oh Henry… I didn't want to have to do this," And with a wave of her hand, he was asleep.
Gideon was confused. First, a weird kid appears, claiming to be his nephew. Then, he claims to know his real mother. Then, mother appears and takes the boy away, and now, the boy is back and unconscious. He started kicking the elder boy
"Hello? Wake up! What were you talking about? Who are you? You know my mother, tell me about her!"
"Shut up!" Gideon jumped back, the sudden hostility surprising him.
"I was just asking a question…"
"Stop talking and let me think. Why does my head hurt?"
"I don't know. Ever since mother took you upstairs, I've heard nothing. Also, you really shouldn't fight her. You don't want to end up like Roderick."
"Why would I fight her? She took me away from terrible people. She's my savior, not some villain,"
"But just earlier you were talking about- "
"I must have been confused. I could never fight her. She took me away from my terrible mothers," he spat that word with obvious disgust, "I was so naïve, I was convinced they loved me. They only wanted to use me. Harking on to use my powers to help them, I hate them,"
"Well… okay then. Can you at least tell me about my mother?"
"You mother? Belle? ... " his eyes started to soften, before suddenly steeling again, "She is horrible! A hypocrite! You never want to meet her except to rip her heart out!"
Gideon clutched his book, his most prized possession, as his eyes start to water.
"But weren't you just earlier talking about how she sent me this book to remind me to be a hero? What made you change your mind so fast?"
"I was blind, our mother opened my eyes,"
"But she's evil! She's enslaving all these children!"
"A necessary means to an end,"
"But- "
"Think of what she offers. Out of the children, she picked us. We're special, brother, and we should serve mother in any way necessary,"
"I… I suppose you're right…"
"Now go to bed, I'll be back soon," And with that, Henry left the cell, heading back upstairs as per command.
"You didn't have to be so harsh on him, he's just a kid," The fairy looked over at the boy, his heart in her hand.
"I had to make sure the message got through. Now for your lesson." With a wave of her hand, a young boy around the age of ten appeared, asleep. "Now, I want you to make a choice. Either kill this boy, quick and painless, or I'll torture him to death, and he will most definitely feel it,"
"I've already faced someone trying to darken my heart, and if she couldn't, then you most certainly will not be able to, there's always another way,"
"Ah, yes. The so-called "Evil Queen". I can assure you, I'm much worse. No way out of this one. Go ahead and sit down, this could be a bit,"
"What?"
"Well, you obviously aren't going to kill him, so I'll show you how it's done,"
"No, you can't. He's innocent. He's done nothing!"
"He's going to die either way. Now, let mother show you how it's done,"
