chapter 2


Henry entered the kitchen straightening his new navy cardigan that his grandmother had just bought him for his foirst day back at school.

"oh Henry! you look wonderful, that new cardigan suits you well, i think." Snow had just seen him appear round the corner of his bedroom he was wearing his new school uniform for the others didn't fit him anymore.

"Mary Margaret, I don't think you got the right size!" Henry struggled with the itchy cardigan for it was to small and only came up to his belly button. "well it's your fault for eating all them cakes yesterday at David's birthday party!" Snow explained. She had just finished packing Henry's bag full of his new school books when load footsteps could be heard running up the stairs.

"what's that?" Mary Margaret stepped back from the door and stepped in front off Henry in case it was something bad. When suddenly the Prince entered gasping for air. "David what are you doing here?" Henry shouted.

Charming never said anything but ran straight up the stairs to Emma's room, he came rushing back down the stairs 2 seconds later. Emma wasn't anywhere to be found!

"Have any of you seen Emma?" There faces matched what he was thinking in his head, obviously they hadn't seen her at all.

"No why?! David what's wrong? Has something happened?" Snow eyes were nearly popping out her head, she was worried.

Henry butted in, "Obviously we haven't seen her today, she said last night after your party she had to go visit troll bridge because someone had called up saying something about loud noises and she told me that she wouldn't be back till late, so there's no point on staying up she said" Henry was saying this in a tone almost mimicking Emma's voice. "And I thought she went had a early shift at the sheriff's station this morning, so i assumed that she left before i woke up!" David and Mary Margaret were looking at Henry in disbelief, how could he know more than they knew.

"Nothing's happened Snow everything's going to be fine. It's just that Emma never turned up at work this morning and i was wondering where she was because , you know her, she's never late for a shift she loves her job. But today no show. Are you sure you haven't seen her at all?" David questioned

"No not at all. Maybe she just got caught up in something, maybe she's just running late. I bet you she'll be sat at her desk when you walk into the station." Mary Margaret answered. Charming knew she was right, there's no need to worry he thought.

"Right, i'd best be off. Busy day today!" Snow kissed David goodbye "come on Henry!" she called and left the loft with Henry in tow. "bye David!" Then they were gone.

He stood there for a few minutes and thought. Prince charming then turned on his heels and walked out of the door. Where could that women be.
