I am astonished at the amount of emails I had this morning. Its so exciting! I am home sick so I have been writing on and off all day. I am currently writing 3 chapters at the same time, because I have inspiration for ideas later on in the story and I don't want to loose them. Again, I am trying to keep the plot and the characters as true to story as possible. I am not in love with the title, so any ideas for a different/better title? Maybe chapter names instead of just chap 1, chap 2, etc.? Sorry this one isn't as long, but hopefully later chapters will be longer. Well, ENJOY!

"She's WHAT!, don't you lie to me boy." said Gold, standing up and reaching at Henry through the bars.

Henry backed up a little." I swear sir, I'm not lying. My mom is the liar. She made up the whole thing. When Belle left your castle she was upset and had her guard down and the Queen took her and locked her up in her dungeons. Since she was locked up when the curse was enacted in Happily Ever After, she is locked up here."

"How" he said through gritted teeth, his mind whirring, trying to process the information he had just been given. He was feeling this weird mixed emotion, extreme happiness and extreme anger at the same time.

"I don't know yet, sir."

Gold got up and started pacing around the cell.

"I own this town. How has she managed to hide her from me all of this time!"

"Emma said my mom talked to you earlier, what did she say?"

Something dawned on Gold, perhaps something the Queen said would lead him straight to Belle.

"I told her not to let the bars fool her, that I owned this town..." he stopped to think.

"And!" said Henry, hoping to get more information out of Gold.

"She said that we shall she." Gold said.

" That means that she is keeping Belle hostage, somewhere you couldn't find her, somewhere no one knows about, but her." said Henry.

"Why didn't she kill her?" asked Gold to himself outloud.

Henry piped into Mr. Gold's outloud thinking," My mom wants people to suffer, she knew that if you thought she was dead, then eventually figured out she was alive, you would suffer more than if she was actually dead."

"I realize that." said Gold, more angry that he wanted to. He sat down, still holding his precious cup, to think about where his Belle was. The thing that he realized was, Henry was right. Had Belle actually been dead, he at least wouldn't have to face her, to see what his curse had done to her. What HE had done to her. Not only had Belle's father shut her out, he had too. He shut out her, and her love. He was no better than Moe French. Truth be told, he was worse.

All of a sudden, Emma walked out of the back room.

"Alright Henry, we have to go, I've given Mr. Gold as much time as I can without Regina killing me. Even now she might kill me. We've got to beat Regina home from the hospital."

Just then Henry and Mr. Gold looked at each other, both thinking the same thing.

"She's at the hospital."

Then they both started talking at the same time.

"That's the only place she could be"

"But where?"

"We'll figure it out, it's not that big a place."

Then Emma piped in. "Okay, I don't know what you're talking about, but we have to go Henry." she starts wrestling him out of the door.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gold, I'll find her." shouts Henry and while Emma is grabbing her things and getting Henry out of the door of the police station, her phone rings.

"Hold on Henry, it's your mom."

She answers it by saying," Sorry Ms. Mayor, he came back..."

"No, no need, at least he wasn't home alone. Listen, Sheriff Swan, I am stuck at the hospital tending to Mr. French, trying to convince him not to press charges, just drop Henry off here." said Regina, muffled through the phone.

"Sure, no problem." says Emma, but strained.

With that, she shuts the door, leaving Gold alone.

"Thank you, boy" he says and he hears Emma's car doors shut and her drive away with his last hope to find his precious Belle.
