Sorry for the delay, But here is the next chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 2,

If you know who I am, then you know how this goes,

"I think you should go and see the doctor." Gold reasoned, in a calm but trying tone,

"Don't play games with me Gold, you know and I know what's going on, Regina released a curse that you made to bring us here and forget everything, so that we could never be happy. I need you to help me now before she realizes that I've been in her crypt." Graham dismissed,

"Alright then, if you know who I am then you know how it goes, I don't give something for nothing, what are you going to give me in return for my favour?" Gold asked,

"What do you want?" Graham asked,

"See that's the thing sheriff you have nothing to give me, and therefore I don't have to give you anything." Gold explained,

"Please I'll give you anything…Please." He begged,

"And there's another thing, the last person who said they would give me anything in return for my magic ended up deceiving me and before we ended up here I was going to spend the rest of my life in an underground dungeon, the charming Ashley." Gold continued,

"I know Cinderella…so will you help me?"

"You now I'm curious why are you asking me for help, when surely your deputy could suffice nicely enough?" Gold asked,

"She doesn't believe that Regina took my heart, she thinks the stories Henry reads are just that, I went to him first and he explained everything after I started having visions, which happened after I kissed Emma." Graham answered,

"You kissed Emma Swan that's bold of you."

"After that I saw a wolf in my visions, and then I saw the wolf and that was what I was doing when I found you in the forest with a shovel…and later I went to see Regina, and after I kissed her I got a vision about me and her and the moment she took my heart after I presented the heart of a stag which I gave her instead of Snow's heart, because she wanted me to kill her but I couldn't do it." Graham explained,

"Keep going this is just getting interesting." Gold encouraged, as he pulled up another stool and sat down,

"After I remembered what Regina had done to me I found Emma and told her, but she insisted that it wasn't true, and that was when the wolf appeared again and we followed it. It then lead us to a graveyard and disappeared but not before it showed us to a crypt, which had the same insignia on it from my visions.

I picked the lock and walked inside, I searched as hard as I could for something, anything, a trigger, a hidden door but there was nothing, Emma insisted that we leave, and it was just in time too because Regina was coming with fresh roses, for who I don't know." He continued,

"And did she see you?"

"I don't think so, but if she did do you think I would be here talking to you right now?" Graham asked,

"And how can you be so sure she would kill you?" Gold asked,

"Because I saw what her mother did to her lover when she ripped his heart out, she crushed it into dust." He answered,

"Wait you're saying Regina was in love with someone before he had his heart ripped out?" Gold questioned,

"Yes he was a stable boy, or something, a commoner anyway." He replied,

"That's all I know will you help me?"

"Yes I will help you but in return you have to have Miss Swan present when you return what was stolen from you." Gold agreed,

"What, Why?"

"Let's Just say I'm invested in her future." Gold offered,

"I don't understand but I'll do it…how are you going to do it without her finding out?" Graham questioned,

"I want her to find out, so when she does she'll remember who it is with the power around here, because it seems we've had a little power issue since our coming to this world, she seems to think that because this land is without magic she has more power." Gold explained,

"Does she know who you really are?"

"I would say not because if she did she would have come to me and said something about it, because she knows where she stands." Gold replied,

"From what I heard in taverns when I was the huntsman it was always you that had the real magic, and everyone talked about how they made a deal with you, the only time I heard about the queen was when she killed Snow's father." Graham said,

"Yes well times have changed, you just make sure her Majesty is kept away from the crypt, or else you might just join her lover." Gold warned, "Meet me tomorrow and I'll have what you want." He added,

"Why can't I come with you it's late surely she will be in bed?" Graham asked,

"They're the conditions I work alone." Gold announced harshly,

"Alright I'll make sure she stays at home."

"How by arresting her?" Gold asked,

"No but there's one part of my life no one needs to know about." Graham said shamefully,

"Well that's your affair sheriff I have no intention of poking about where I don't have to…but I suggest you get a move on with whatever it is you have planned because I get to work soon and that leaves you with under ten minutes." He advised, but as Graham was about to walk out of the office,

"But you must be careful sheriff magic in this world is very unpredictable should anything go wrong I don't want your deputy coming over here getting the wrong idea." Gold said as a final warning,

"Don't worry I'll make sure she doesn't…there's just one thing I have to say first." He paused,

"Oh yeah and what's that?"

"Your not as bad as everyone thinks."

"And what makes you say that, if you know who I am then you know what I've done?" Gold questioned,

"Yes but that was because of the curse, now you're just make ordinary deals and make good on them when someone doesn't."

"And why are you suddenly so agreeable with me sheriff?"

"Something never comes for nothing, and if someone's crazy enough to offer anything in return for a favour or magic, it's there own fault when that something is desired to be collected." Graham continued,

"Suddenly I'm the good guy."

"No…it's just that this is the first time I've actually come to know you after hearing all the stories in the taverns from the other huntsman, calling you unspeakable things, and only now do I realize it's the people who make the deals that should be criticized not you, they didn't have to make the deal, but they chose to." Graham explained,

"You have an excellent little thesis there sheriff, and as much as I would love to continue debating where I stand, I think it's time both of us got to work." He reminded, as he then watched Graham leave his office, he stood there for a while thinking about what the sheriff had said, because he was right,

Graham walked out of the pawnshop, with hope but shame in his stomach, and confusion still swimming in his head, although old had confirmed that the curse was very real, Henry was very right, and Emma was very clueless, he still couldn't grasp it himself. Perhaps it was the magnitude of what he was asking himself to believe; after all he had been living in Story Brooke for 28 years, and had come to know this as his life.

What was left of his heart was telling him that this was true, and that Regina really was the woman who had taken his heart and locked it away in a wooden box. And if it was true he was going to see this woman now, and ensure that she didn't leave her house for any reason whatsoever so that Gold could have a chance to find his heart.

He had never felt anything with her the whole time he shared her bed, but he soon found that the more he kissed her the more the retched memories of what she did to him returned. If Gold was who Henry had said, then Graham had just made a deal with the devil, but as he made that deal he discovered that that devil was more of a man than most people would care to admit.

Because he didn't have to sign anything with his blood, and under the hair he didn't catch a glimpse of horns, a tail, and there wasn't a single pitchfork in the entire building. Perhaps it was just a huge misunderstanding of his character; he wanted to tell Henry that, since he was the boy that had been trying to tell whoever would listen of this grand curse.

He was the boy that everyone thought was crazy, he was the boy that Emma pretended to believe just so that she could spend time with him, and he was the boy that lived in the same house, and had a mother that is the Evil Queen. Graham shoved his hands in the pockets of his parker, and continued down the street to his car, but was stopped when he heard the whining of an animal.

He hurried his steps and begun looking down the gaps between parked cars for the source of the sound, when finally he found the very same creature that had lead him to the location of his heart. The wolf was lying on its side with its face bloody along with its left front leg; Graham hurried to its side and offered words to soothe it.

"Hey boy what happened to you?" He asked stroking the soft white fur, the wolf whined in return,

"Don't worry I'll take care of you, you helped me so it's only fair that I help you in return." He assured, as he then slid his arms under the wolf and lifted him to his chest,

"I hope snow white likes wolves, because until I come back that's where you're going to have to stay, but when I do come back you can live with me." Graham said, though he didn't really expect the wolf to understand, although it did lick him on the cheek,

It was a short walk to Mary's house and when he arrived he kicked the door gently so that it wouldn't sound like he was trying to kick the door down.

"Coming." Came Mary's voice from inside,

Well things are progressing how will the story end now? You can speculate if you like, and if you do feel free to tell me what you are thinking. Review Me!
