Chapter one: The Curse is Broken

Erik POV

I had been by Emma's side when it happened. It was like a wave crashing into my mind. I remembered everything. Christine, Meg, Madame Giry, and Gustave. How Christine was killed. She was gone. I looked at Emma and Henry. I had to find my son.

"Emma, I have to go."

"What do you mean, Erik?" Emma looked at me with her sad hazel eyes as she moved a stray blonde lock behind her ear.

"I need to find my son, Gustave."

"And how do you expect to do that?" I turned around to see Regina with her arms crossed.

"I don't know how, but I will. I promised-," she raised her hand as if to stop my words.

"Who? Christine? She's dead and long gone. And on top of that she betrayed you. Why care about her brat?"

"Because, dear sister, he is my son!"

Emma and Henry's jaws dropped as Emma added, "Sister?"

"Yes. Regina is my sister. She never approved of my angel just like Mother," I turned back to Regina," Goodbye!" I then sprinted out of the hospital and down the street until I reached the main road.

"Gustave!" I called repeatedly for what seemed like an eternity.

"Papa!" I looked across the street to see a brown haired and blue eyed boy.

"Gustave!" I ran across the street and met my son in the middle. I embraced him, never wanting to let go.

Then a menacing purple cloud of smoke and lightning began making its way towards us. I covered myself and Gustave with my cloak. I felt a strong wind blowing at my form as I held my son close to my chest. The wind blew for several minutes and then ceased.

"Erik!" I looked up to see Snow White and Charming rushing towards us.

"Snow! David! Are you two alright?" I asked while I lifted Gustave up into my arms.

"Yeah, but what the hell was that?" Snow asked breathlessly.

"Magic. Someone's brought magic back to Storybrooke," I replied and placed a kiss onto Gustave's forehead.

"Was it Regina?" David questioned.

"No that's too powerful of a spell for her to even attempt. Although, I know who did do it."

"Who?" They both asked simultaneously.

"Rumplestiltskin."
