Chapter 1
*Hey guys! I just wanted to say that this is my first Fanfiction so bare with me as this is new :) Please review any tips you have to help!*
It was a cold and windy day in Maine. School was almost done for the year as the term was coming to a close. Henry was in 5th grade this year and was growing up fast. Since the curse had broke he had made a lot more friends then before which he was grateful for but there were also the kids that wouldn't go near him as one of his mothers was the Evil Queen. He had been transferred to another class as Ms. Blanched had stopped teaching at the school and he now had Mr. Brandon as his teacher.
After the curse broke Henry moved in with his birth mother, Emma along with Snow and Charming or his 'Grandparents' which he was still getting used to saying. Living with them was a good thing but as much as he would deny it, he still missed his mother dearly. It wouldn't matter what she did he would always love her. She was the one the changed every diaper, hugged him when there was a storm, kissed him goodnight, made him breakfast, taught him how to tie his shoes. Not Emma.
The harsh alarm on her bedside table woke Emma up with a start. How much she hated that alarm, why couldn't it be...more gentle? She push that thought aside as she got up to start the day. She mumbled down the stairs to greet her parents.
"Good morning, Emma! How did you sleep?" Snow said cheerfully.
"Ugh, how can you be so... Awake this time of day!?" Emma grumbled as she walked over to one of the bar stools where snow had placed some toast for her.
Snow completely missed the comment as she kissed her husband goodbye who was on his way to the Sherifs station.
"Is Henry up yet?" Snow asked
"I don't know probably not, I don't blame him either."
"Go get him Emma! He will be late for school and who knows what would happen if Regina finds out that he has been missing school!" Snow says urgently even though Regina technically doesn't have rights over him any more.
Emma walks slowly up the stairs as she still isn't fully awake. She walks quietly into Henry's room to find him sleeping peacefully. 'Ahhh... I remember those days.' She thought
"Hey, kid! Get up! You have school!"
"Nooooooo." Henry groaned in protest.
"Move it kid!"
"Nooooooo." He groaned, pulling the blankets up higher.
"Don't make me get out the ice pack on you again, you didn't like it last time."
Silence.
"One... Two..."
"Ok, I'm up! Just don't do the ice pack!" He pleaded as he remember the feeling of ice on his stomach when he was half asleep two days ago. He had always thought what would happen when they get to three and now he knows...
Emma laughed at his reaction. "Hurry up! You have to be at school in like 15 minutes so move it."
Emma made her way back down stairs where her coffee that she desperately needed was waiting.
About 10 minutes later Henry was ready to leave. Emma drove Henry in her iconic yellow bug to school, wished him a good day and left to enjoy her day off which she was yet to decide how to spend it.
Jefferson has always had something against the queen but had always felt intimidated by her, except for that day when Henry was in the hospital. That poor little boy, in a hospital bed with beeping monitors all around him because his mother made a poison apple turn over and Henry just happened to eat it. He will never forget the look on the queen's face while leaning over her sick little boy. A face filled with sadness, regret, defeat even. He wanted to see that face again. He wanted to make her feel his pain. The pain of losing a child, the pain of being left some where you don't belong, the pain of your rights being taken from you. Regina needed to feel that.
He had been thinking of a way to make Regina feel that pain and he finally came up with it. He is going to make her suffer, like no one has suffered before. He had been coming up with a plan for weeks now and he has finally got it. He is going to buy a pistol, bring it to the school and hold up every class until he finds Henry. He doesn't care how many people he has to kill to get to him then he will hold him hostage and call Regina to come to the school. Once she is at the school he will make her get on her knees and beg for mercy. Then once he has tortured Henry, he will move onto her and shoot her in as many places as he can and cause her as much pain as possible and at the last moment, he will shoot Henry right in front of her eyes. Lets see how she takes that pain.
Later that morning Jefferson had his gun ready and decided to bring a knife as well, just incase the case the gun isn't enough. He walked outside his mansion and got in his car. 'Theres no turning back now.' He thought.
It was around midday when Regina decided to take a stroll around Storybrooke. She often enjoyed these strolls ever since she cast the curse as it gave her a little sense of freedom even though she was still trapped in her town. She was walking towards the school hoping to some how catch a glimpse of Henry but she bumped into a blonde in a red leather jacket. Emma.
"Regina." Emma greeted in a pleasant voice.
"Ms. Swan, you should really watch where you a going!"
"Jesus, Regina! Would it kill you to be nice to someone for one day or even use my first name!?" Emma was so sick of being called 'Ms. Swan by the brunette. It made her feel old and responsible.
"You would be surprised, Dear. Shouldn't you be doing the town budget anyway? Since I am no longer Mayor, I mean. You know it would be so much easier if you just left it to me instead of your idiot of a father."
"Actually it's my day off." Emma brushed of the comment about her father as it was one of many.
"So you have nothing better to do then to walk aimlessly around town?" Regina was always straight to the point when it came to Emma.
"I don't see you doing anything. Look Regina, you should just go back inside your house and stay there because I know that you are out to try and talk to my son and I don't think that's the best idea for him right now. He has just gotten over you poisoning him!" Emma was getting annoyed now so she may as well get to the bickering but Regina was seriously taken back by this comment.
"The apple was not for him and we both know-" Regina was cut off by a loud bang that sounded close by.
"Was that-" Emma was stopped by yet another loud bang.
"That was a gun shot... That wasn't at the school was it?" Regina and Emma stared at each other for a second until another shot was heard and they both knew it was at the school.
Emma backed away from the school gates but Regina ran towards the school.
"Are you insane!? What are you doing!? Your going to get yourself killed!" Emma yelled out in panic.
"Henry is in there!"
