Chapter 1-The Town Line
I made it. Standing in front of me, was a big street sign that told me I had succeeded.
I tried to send a message magically to Master, but it seemed he was too far away.
Hmm… I thought. Maybe he was right about New York being too long-distance. Is Maine really that far away? But how would I know? I hadn't paid attention in school ever since he found me.
Well, since Alex found me. And basically stalked me ever since.
Master doesn't have a phone, so I had to text Alex. Why I ever got her number, I'll never know. Does she even have mine? It must have been Master's doing.
It's Bethany, tell Master i made it to storybrooke, I wrote.
A few minutes later, I got a response.
We told you New York was too far, she said.
Don't rub it in. :(
I walked on, and crossed the famed town line.
All of a sudden, I felt something. Like the surge of power I felt every time I went into HQ.
Like there was magic.
That's when I realized it's not because New York is too far away to communicate magically. It's because I hadn't crossed the town line. And I could only use magic where there was magic. It's so obvious now that I think about it.
Hurriedly, I thought in my head what I was supposed to think. Then, an image of Master on his throne appeared before me. Before he could say anything, I said,
"My powers are stronger than you and Alex think."
Then I closed the speech portal, and walked along the road, doing exactly what he told me to.
Find shelter in a tree, and search the town.
Search the town for a boy who at the time was just Henry.
