Setting based in Manhattan, NY, where Gold (Rumpel) will find his son.

Disturbia

Surprises and Enchanted Scarves

Emma's heart was pounding hard as she drove the yellow Bug to New York. Mr. Gold had supplied her with information of his son, Baelfire, to the blonde during the first three hours of their drive.

Now it was all silent, and it stayed that way for another two hours until a mop of brown hair poked up from the backseat.

"This car ride won't be fun if you guys don't talk."

In her surprise, Emma barely missed crashing into a tall coniferous tree that was blocking a part of the road. Gold kept his calm composure.

"Oh my god, Henry!"

If her heart pounding hard, it was pounding furiously now.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack! Why are you in here, anyways?! Shouldn't you be at home with your grandparents, young man?" Emma reprimanded.

Henry rolled his eyes and clutched his book, causing Gold to smirk at the young boy's attitude.

"Miss Swan, I recommend ceasing your scolding and focusing your eyes on the road. As you can see, we're almost there." He pointed at the nearing "Welcome to New York!" sign. Emma rubbed her eyes and stared at Gold, ignoring Henry's presence in the car.

"How exactly are we going to find your son? It's not like you can whip out some sort of potion that'll lead us to Baelfire." Gold stared at the road ahead.

Emma's eyes widened, "Oh, no. You are using magic! How?! Won't the people be suspicious once they see purple clouds or random black smoke floating up in the air?"

It was Gold's turn to stare at Emma. "Miss Swan, I wouldn't be that bold." He shuffled around in his seat and revealed a brown scarf.

"This is the only relic I have left of Baelfire. Now, all you have to do, Miss Swan, is wear the scarf. The enchantment will bring you to Baelfire. All the people will see is a blonde woman wearing a brown scarf walking her own way tagged along by an old cripple and a young boy."

"He mentioned me! Finally!" came the little outburst from the backseat. Emma rolled her eyes and stared at Gold.

"How are you so sure this is going to work?"

"Trust me, Miss Swan. If I knew this enchantment wouldn't work, would I have cashed in my favor so quickly?"

"No..."

"Park here, Miss Swan," Gold directed. He waved his finger around an empty parking space.

Emma sighed and parked the car. Once she got out, a hand thrust the enchanted brown scarf at Emma's face. She backed up slightly, bumping into an old black 2002 Honda. She jumped forward and took hold of the scarf, wrapping it around her neck comfortably.

All of a sudden, Emma's legs started moving out of the parking lot and into the streets of Manhattan.

She was surprisingly calm and nervous at the same time. "What does this enchantment do, exactly?"

"The enchantment will force you to walk in the direction where it believes Baelfire is at. If you want to stop walking or start, touch the scarf. Once you have found Baelfire, the scarf will glow and you will regain your own mobility again."

Touching the scarf, Emma nodded blankly and reached for Henry's hand. The young boy gripped his mom's hand tightly while clutching his book.

"Henry, why don't you put your book in the car?" she suggested weakly. Henry shook his head.

"I wanna know if Baelfire knows some of my stories!"

"Alright, then..." Emma touched the scarf and her legs started moving at its own accord.

"I really hope you find your son, Mr. Gold," Henry said shyly, letting go of his mother's hand and keeping up with Mr. Gold's pace.

Gold ruffled Henry's hair. "Thank you, dearie, for your concern."

The scarf had led the traveling trio to a modest looking apartment. The scarf glowed brightly and Emma felt her legs being released from the enchantment. She took the scarf off and handed it to Gold.

She walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.

"Neal..."
