Thanks so much for all of the reviews and follows. I am glad to hear the people want more.
Warning: So Regina was quite badly hurt and now this needs to be dealt with. So if you are squeamish about blood I'm sorry. I tried to not be graphic at all but it is mentioned.
"So we are going to a well? Why, I thought Henry was going to destroy magic?" Neal asked. He had almost gotten used to this land without magic and now being thrown back into it, and to find he had a son. He was a little disoriented and confused to say the least.
"Yes, and if he was looking for the source of the magic he would go to the well." Emma responded, trying to be patient with him.
"So magic lives in the well?"
"No...not completely, actually I don't know. But if that works for you yes, the magic lives in the well."
"And can he actually do it, destroy magic?"
"I don't know" David broke in, "but I think we can agree on one thing, he shouldn't be doing so alone. That dynamite could be very unstable so lets just find him and get him back home and hope Regina doesn't find out about this."
"That could add another layer of complication to things." Emma muttered under her breath.
Just then the sound of an explosion roared through the woods.
"Did that come from the direction of the well?" Neal asked.
"Yes I think so" David answered hesitantly.
"Oh God, Henry." Emma muttered before starting off at run.
Neal suddenly looked pale. "How far are we from the well?"
"Too far" Emma said as she turned around, "so if you don't mind do you want to get a move on?"
"Mommy no, don't leave me please." Henry cried out as he shook Regina by the shoulders but she just lay their motionless looking paler than he'd ever seen her.
"HENRY" came a sound from the trees close to where Regina had emerged not even fifteen minutes ago.
"Hello, help please I'm over here!" he answered back. See he had been right help had come. He just hoped it wasn't too late.
"Henry" the sound came again, as Emma broke through the opening in the trees and made her way over to where Henry knelt. Seconds later David and Neal made there way through as well and stopped in shock by the damage that stood in front of them.
"Are you hurt Henry, are you okay?" Emma asked trying to look him over as best she could, wiping the tears from his face.
"Is she...can you help her?" Henry simply said in response.
Emma looked down at where Regina lay on the ground and reached out two fingers to check for a pulse.
"She's still alive yes, there is a pulse and she's breathing can't you see?"
Henry looked down and did she his mother's chest raising and falling ever so slightly.
Emma stood up and walked over to where David and Neal stood.
"Her pulse is weak, she needs help quick, Neal the road isn't too far off that way why don't you go and see if you can flag down a car."
"You really think someone is going to volunteer to help save the Evil Queen?"
"To save Henry's mother, yes, now can you?"
Neal nodded and headed off in the direction that Emma had pointed in.
"Henry, what happened?" David asked.
"I was trying to destroy magic and then she came. When I lit the dynamite she pushed me to the ground and covered me up. Then she...her head was bleeding and there were stones poking out of her side but she pulled them out..." pointing to the ground where the slightly bloodied rocks still lay.
"Shh Henry it is okay, where were the stones did you say?"
"In her side."
Emma knelt down next to Regina. She knew quite a bit about first aid and knew that objects when removed could lead to some bleeding and complications. She slowly buttoned the trench coat and pushed it back so that she could see the injury better. The blue blouse was already becoming quite saturated and the stain spread further than Emma was comfortable with. She quickly unwrapped Regina's scarf from her neck and used it to cover the wound. Henry didn't need to see the blood.
"Henry can you come here." Henry hurried over. "I need you to apply pressure here. Just hold down on the scarf. I am going to go and see how Neal is doing with finding us a car."
Henry just nodded and moved his hand to apply pressure and kept a careful watch and the rise and fall of his mother's chest. She was still with him and it was going to remain that way.
"Good. I will be right back." Emma got up and ran off in the direction that she had sent Neal not long before.
It didn't take long to run into him. "Well did you find anyone?"
"Nothing, but there is an abandoned Mercedes, I don't know whose it is."
"Regina's"
"What"
"It is Regina's car, I'm sure her keys are on her somewhere, come on."
They returned to the scene of the well. "Henry, if your mom had her car keys on her, where would they be?"
"She doesn't have her purse with her, so probably just in her pocket."
"Can you look for me?"
Henry reached his hand in and pulled out the keys, "they are here."
"Great, we need to get going, David a little help? And Neal I don't think there will be enough room for you, but just a mile down that trail and you will be back in town."
"That's fine." Neal responded.
David walked over to where Henry was kneeling and picked up the Queen.
"Be careful!" Henry responded.
"It's okay buddy, now come on."
Henry rode in the back of the car with Regina applying pressure all the way to the hospital.
It didn't take long in order to have a whole team ready by the car with a gurney and Henry watched as his mother was rolled away.
"Come on Henry." Emma nudged him, "you should get checked out too."
"But I'm fine, can't I go with her."
"She will be taken care of, please just go for me."
"Fine" As he walked into the hospital.
"So Henry, how are you feeling." Dr. Whale asked.
"Shouldn't the Doctor be with my mom."
"We have other doctors, and they thought it was best I wasn't in charge of her case, now can you tell me how you are feeling?"
"I'm fine."
"Does anything hurt?"
"No."
"Do you mind if I check?"
"If you really want to."
Dr. Whale nodded and approached Henry starting my shining a light in his eyes before moving on the the reflexes.
"Can I ask you a question Dr. Whale?"
"I suppose so Henry."
"My Mom talked about a man who tried to bring Daniel back to life in the Enchanted Forest, do you know who that was, was it you, you brought him back this last time didn't you, here in Maine?"
"Yes it was me."
"Then why didn't it work in the Enchanted Forest?"
"I guess I wasn't really trying."
"What?"
"Maybe I shouldn't be telling you this but, I was paid by a man to try to bring back Daniel. Or at least make it look like I tried."
"Who? What man?"
"I shouldn't be telling you this Henry."
"Was it Rumplestilkskin?"
"Does this hurt Henry?" Whale asked pressing gently and various points along Henry's back.
"No, so was it Rumplestiltskin?"
"You're all set Henry, you were lucky to not be hurt by that blast."
"I was protected."
Whale just looked at him for a moment, "I'll go let Emma know I am done with you."
"So will she be okay?" Henry asked
"They say she will be yes, but the bump on her head is pretty bad and she lost a lot of blood so it could be awhile before she wakes up." Emma responded.
"Well can I see her?"
"Not yet, they are still running some tests."
"I need to go then." Henry said matter of factly.
"What?"
"I need to talk to Mr. Gold, do you know where he is?"
"Last I knew he was with Mary Margaret. Henry why do you need to talk to Mr. Gold?"
"There's just some stuff I need to figure out. I will be back as soon as I can."
I normally don't update stories this quickly. The next chapter will probably be up pretty quickly as well though, as soon as I have time to write it.
Please let me know if there was anything about the chapter that you didn't like or how you think I can improve my writing.
