-What exactly are we looking for? - Asked Cinderella as she followed the cautious steps of Henry.
-I thought we could use a little more help - Henry answered, stopping behind a couple of bushes to hide.
- Are they friends of yours? The people we're looking for - The girl hid behind Henry and he just nodded.
-I don't know if friends is the correct word, but I know them and I know they seek to do good.
Henry observed the men who were gathered in front of the campfire and looked for who he was looking for. The boy stepped forward and under his foot crunched a few branches that alerted the men.
-Who's there? - Asked one of the men with a low voice, while rising from the ground.
Cinderella took Henry's arm to pull him back but he did the opposite. The boy came out of the bushes with his hands on the top showing that he was coming in peace and without any weapons in his hands. The girl hesitated a few seconds before walking behind Henry and joining him.
-Who are you boy? - Asked the same man pointing a crossbow.
-I do not want to hurt anyone - Henry answered without lowering his hands - I'm looking for...
-Henry? - The voice of a young boy made Henry turn his head to the side watching the boy walk towards him.
-Roland - Henry whispered lowering his hands.
Both boys gave each other a hug as a greeting and the man pointing to Henry under the crossbow. Both boys parted with a smile.
- Are you Henry? Regina's son - The man asked and the boy nodded. - I'm John - The man extended his hand to greet the boy and Henry took it giving him a strong squeeze.
- Of course, John - he said, remembering the man with the big beard and curly hair.
- How did you know we were here? - Roland asked curiously.
The boy had grown, but his brown eyes were the same as always. Now Roland wore his wavy cropped hair and signs of facial hair peeked out his chin, he was tall and stocky, and he was no longer a child.
- I listen to rumors about robbers who took away from the rich to give to the needy - Henry shrugged - I assumed it was the Merry Man.
- What do you need our help for, boy? - John asked.
-We are forming a resistance, and we could use informants and men who know how to fight.
-We'll have to talk to him - replied the man looking at Roland
-I don't think he'll be against – answered the boy - My father has always wanted to help.
-How is he? - Henry asked.
-He's fine, but he still doesn't remember anything ... He only remembers until my mother's death.
- luckily he's alive - Henry whispered.
-When we found him in the enchanted forest we were all so surprised that we didn't care about anything. But the truth is that he is not well, he is absent, as if part of him was missing, and although he doesn't remember it, I think we both know what it is.
-My mother - Hastened to say Henry - She is here, in this kingdom ... We cannot continue hiding this.
-Well, I guess one day she was going to find out. I appreciate that you kept the secret for so long.
-When I got your note to Storybrooke, I knew it was a good thing that your father was alive, but if I told my mother it would simply hurt her to know that she doesn't remember her... Don't get me wrong, but it sucks that he has returned without remembering his soulmate.
-Zeus said that it was a consequence of recovering his pulverized soul. It was that or nothing - Roland shrugged - Now we just have to figure out how we will tell Regina.
Regina walked from side to side with her hands on her hip. Henry and Cinderella had left at night who knows where and none had returned. She was worried and jealous at the same time, because if they had gone to attend some issue of the resistance they could both be in danger; but if they had gone to ... anything else, the one who would be in danger would be the girl.
-We're back - He heard Henry say.
The brunette turned to her son and ran to give her a big hug.
-I was worried about you - she whispered. - How could you think of leaving without letting anyone know? - She scold with a high voice, looking at his son and Cinderella.
- We went looking for someone - Henry replied with a small smile and took a step to the side so Regina could see the boy behind him.
Regina looked at him and her jaw slowly opened as her eyes filled with tears.
-Roland - she whispered.
Although the boy had grown up, she would always recognize him as if she was looking at his own son. Now that he was older, he looked more like his father, with those dimples in his cheeks and that little smile that reminded her of Robin.
Roland walked up to Regina and hugged her tightly bringing back good memories of his life and of her father's.
-I'm so glad to see you - he said, slowly separating from the woman.
-What are you doing in this kingdom? - Asked the brunette wiping the tears that had fallen down her cheeks
-You know, John decided that the enchanted forest was not enough anymore - Lied with a small smile.
-Mother, I brought Roland because I asked for his help and I want you to join us with the Merry Man.
-I do not think it's necessary for me to go Henry. - Regina did not want to see those men who reminded her so much of her soul mate.
- I have to tell you something - Henry walked towards his mother and took her hand - It will not be easy but you have to listen to me.
Regina frowned and looked from one boy to another, everything seemed very suspicious.
-How could you hide this from me for so long?! - Regina raised her voice and the vein of her forehead was marked.
Roland had explained everything; how Robin had come back to life in the enchanted forest but without remembering anything of what had happened in recent years and how they decided to change their kingdom so that no one would know that Robin Hood was alive. Henry intervened explaining that both boys thought it was the best, because although Robin was alive, he didn't remember her.
- Mom, you have to understand. Roland thought it was for the best, and I really agree with him. - Henry spoke. - It wouldn't have been helpful if you knew he was alive when he was not even going to know who you are.
-And then why did you decide to tell me now? - Regina crossed her arms.
-I asked the Merry Man for help and that includes Robin... We thought it would be better to tell you before you accidentally hit him.
Regina shook her head, her feelings mixed. She was so upset that she could roast someone with a fireball, but at the same time she felt her heart pop out of her chest at the thought that Robin was alive, her Robin. Not the Robin of another reality, but the one she had known and, consequently, wanted to scream in frustration at the thought that he did not even remember her.
Against her will, Regina accompanied Henry and Roland back to the Merry Man's camp. The brunette couldn't and didn't want to face the man who had died for her and didn't even remember her. Her heart became small when she saw him standing, chatting animatedly with the other men, in front of her. It was just like how he had lived in his memory; his hair was a little longer and gray hair showed in his mane and in his short beard that framed his face.
Regina felt the tears fill her eyes and blink a couple of times to keep them from falling. The love of her life was in front of her, her soulmate, and she could not hug him or kiss him like she wanted to.
Roland approached his father and put his hand on the shoulder of the thief to tell him about the visitors in the camp. Robin turned around and saw the boy and the woman, who was quite beautiful, who were standing watching them.
Robin walked up to them accompanied by his son and stopped in front of the beautiful dark haired woman who looked at him with those brown eyes so intense that he could get lost in them.
-Robin of Locksley - He introduced himself - Nice to meet you.
-Regina - She greeted with a lump in the throat.
Robin extended his arm to offer his hand to the woman and felt how Regina's small hand fit into his. An electric current invaded the spine of both and a smile formed on the face of the thief.
- Had we met before? - He asked raising an eyebrow.
-I doubt I ever forget meeting you.
Hyperion Heights.
-How do you feel? - The nurse asked entering the room.
The man that was sitting on the hospital bed looked up and smiled sideways.
-I still have headaches and I can't remember anything but the accident- he answered.
-It was a difficult accident, but you will see that your memory will recover little by little - The nurse smiled at him amicably as he handed him the sheet of his discharge. - You just have to sign this and you can go.
-Ok.
The man took the sheet and examined it with his gray eyes. He ran his hand through his blond hair and then took the pen that the nurse offered to sign the sheet.
-Very well Sean - The nurse examined the sheet - And what are you going to do coming out of here?
-I long for a good scotch.
-A couple of blocks away is Rony's, it's a bar where there are the best liquors - the nurse informed him - it's easy to find, it has arrows on the logo.
-Then I guess my first destination will be Rony's
He got up from the hospital bed and put on the jacket that had been done him the favor of washing him in the hospital. Sean had no idea what had happened or because he had lost his memory, he only remembered going out one night to walk and find himself in an ambulance badly hurt thanks to a crazy lady who had run over him. Before that, he was just a normal man who was looking for a way to break into the path of music and who played guitar in the streets.
When he was out of the hospital, he breathed the fresh air of the smell of alcohol and began to walk looking for the bar that the nurse had mentioned. She was right, the sign illuminated with neon lights appeared in front of him and he decided to enter.
PS. I am sorry about Robin's name on Hyperion Heights. But it was the only that my mind came up with.
