Disclaimer: I do not own OUAT and its characters.

A little note to people who had already followed this story: First is, I'd like to thank you guys for actually reading this stuff! You have no idea how much it means to me.

Also, I update every second Wednesday of the month since that is what I told my beta so she made me a schedule of what to do. I know, it's really a long wait but... oh well. That's just so I could have enough time to revise it with my beta. Speaking of, I would like to thank my beta for helping me make this chapter longer than expected. Who knew that from 2k words, I managed to write at least 3k this time?!

Thank you for waiting for the second chapter. I have already written and submitted chapters 3 and 4 to my beta and so far, I'm doing well with the revisions. I do hope that you guys will continue to be patient with me. (I am very adamant on finishing this one, don't worry.)

Anyways, I knew that OUAT season 6 is finally out and since we've all waited long enough for this, I just wanted to tell you guys that I am not following the timeline of the show. (Actually, I've never followed the timeline since I wrote and hinted that someone who's supposed to be dead is alive in here*wink*)

I'd like to know what you guys think so far so please, review!

I'd really wanted to hear feedbacks from you guys since I don't know if I'm doing well with the story or not. And the only way to do that is through reviews so...

PS: To those who like to read fantasy stories and not to mention, Pokemon fanatics (mainly contestshippers) there is also this story of mine called I Hear Your Voice so if you'd like, go and check it out if you'd like...

On with the story!


Run Henry, run.

His mind was full of unending thoughts as his heart raced like crazy. It doesn't matter where his legs take him, what matters right now is that he gets away from her immediately.

He scanned his surroundings, trying to figure out where his legs had gotten him. With all what happened earlier, he knew he had to act fast so a particular destination isn't really set in his mind. His heart leapt in joy when he saw that he is the same street as his parents lived. He could almost taste the sweet relief as he ran towards that familiar blue house with a little porch, and quaint picket fences that his mom had adored.

Thinking quickly, he made a dash towards the porch and slamming the front door open, thankful that his mom knew that he is coming back today and left the front door unlocked.

The loud slamming sound of the door alerted the couple, ripping them apart from their extended morning activity when they saw their son panting for air, sweating like he had joined the olympics marathon.

"Woah, kid. You looked like you were chased by Pongo,"

Henry anxiously checked the window for any signs of her. Even though he is in the safety of his parents' home, he could still never too sure if he is being followed or not. Better to be safe than sorry, as what his grandpa Charming always say.

"No mom," He panted. "I'm fine. I was- I just went for a morning run, that's all." he smiled, failing to mask his clear exhaustion.

"You sure you're alright there, lad?"Killian raised an eyebrow as he sauntered towards the lad. "Or are you just nervous 'bout that date of yours?Is it your lass you're running from?" he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Worse," His eyes narrowed as he checked the window again. "Far, far worse.".

Now that peaked the interest of the couple as they watched Henry removed his backpack and went straight to the kitchen, where Emma had prepared a breakfast for him.

After a few bites of pancakes, Emma couldn't take the silence anymore and sat down across him. "Well?" She asked. "Aren't you gonna tell us why what was 'far far worse'?" She quoted slipping into her impersonation of him.

Henry, unamused by his mom's antics, swallowed the remaining pancakes and faced her. "Mom found out about my date." He said solemnly, with a hooded expression.

"Huh? Is that all?"

"Yes! What do you mean 'Is that all?' ? What could be worse? She's going to want to pick the place,the time, what I'm going to wear and be there the whole time! You know how controlling she can be!" Henry fired back, how doesn't she get how serious this is?

'I think everyone knows how controlling she can be' Emma frowned. "Hey, she's gotten… better"

"No, the boy is right."

"Killian!"

"He is! Regina will turn this into a play date if given the chance!" He stared proudly at his dad as he stood up for him. He won't admit it out loud but his parents' antics always makes his day. It tells him that even with everything that has happened, they managed to withstand it with their love. Secretly, he wanted to have the same true love thing happen to him.

"We should just call Regina up and tell-" Hook is interrupted by a huge plume of purple smoke erupting in the middle of the living room.

"Henry Daniel Mills,"

His blood ran cold as he wanted nothing more than to disappear right now. How come he hadn't inherited his mother's magic? Maybe, if he believed that he can disappear it might happen to him right now. He doesn't even care wherever he might disappear to because anywhere sounds better rather than here.

The smoke dispersed and out revealed Regina looking pissed.

She stalked toward Henry, who trembling in nervousness as he looked at his parents for back up. "How dare you sneak out of the house and run away from me when you know that I will be able to track you down?" Her voice is deathly calm, making the teenaged boy gulp slightly.

His mom has different sides whenever she is angry, and this classified as the scariest side of her.

"Whoa," Emma looked at Regina before looking back at Henry. "Good morning to you too, Regina." She said as she tried to divert her attention towards her. "Did you wake on the wrong side of the bed again?"

Regina raised her eyebrows at Emma, prompting her to shut up. "My side of the bed is perfectly fine, Swan." She said, rolling her eyes. "I'm just-" She shook her head as she breathed out her anger before returning back to her calm self. "It's just last night during dinner, Henry failed to tell me that he is going on a date with that girl and instead, I have to find out from Robin about it!" She exclaimed, Emma turned to Henry in disbelief while Killian just smirked.

"I don't see the problem there, majesty." He said, stepping up to Henry's defense. "So the boy decided to ask the lass out. What's the big deal?"

Regina casted him annoyed glance. "The big deal, pirate," She said in exasperation. "Is that you're permitting my son to go out into the woods with that girl alone." She emphasized. "If that's alright with you then fine, but did anyone asked for my permission?" She asked as she glanced at Henry, who is currently fidgeting under her gaze.

"See, this is why I didn't want to tell you," Henry snapped. "You're too overprotective of me, saying I can't handle myself and Violet but don't you think we want our own little adventure too?" he reasoned out.

Although things have really changed between his mothers to the point of them becoming best friends, he would really appreciate it if Emma would butt in right now. She might be able to convince his mother about letting them walk around the woods.

"Henry," Regina's tone softened, the same tone that Henry hated whenever he is arguing with his mother. He feels that whenever Regina uses the said tone, he is being treated as a child. "You know very well that I don't like leaving you alone with that girl-"

"That's the thing mom, that girl has a name too, and hers is Violet." Henry corrected her. "You just don't want me to be with her because of the stunt we pulled in New York!"

Emma and Killian silently groaned. As amusing as it is to witness their son argue with Regina-since it rarely happens- they'd be rather doing something else. They knew that because of their stubbornness, these two won't back down anytime soon.

"Well, she was the one who took you from me!"

"That was a year ago, mom. Let it go."

"Just because a year had passed doesn't mean we should let our guards down." She gave him a pointed look.

Henry looked at his father helplessly, making Killian sigh.

"So what do you propose to do, Majesty?" He asked, coming to his son's aid. "The last I checked, the lad's fifteen now," He said as he waved his hand as if to make any sense. "Henry's not daft, he knew the protocols should there be any danger he and the lass might face on."

Regina glared harder as if trying to ignite Killian in flames by will alone while Henry beamed at his father's attempt to salvage his plan of going to the woods.

"And," Emma interjected, "If it makes you feel any better, they both have to come down to Granny's for lunch." She said, Henry's jaw drop while Regina looked like she was contemplating the idea.

"WHAT?!" Henry bellowed, earning looks from both of his mothers. "That's not fair. Violet and I-"

"Lunch at Granny's, kid, or the deal's off."

This is ridiculous! Why can't they see that I'm is already fifteen? I can take care of myself!

But these were women who have literally been to the end of the earth and looked like they would go back before folding to their son. Henry, desperate, turned to his savior.

"Emma, love-

"That's my condition, Henry or you and Violet might not get any date today." Emma ignored him, ignoring the warm feeling she gets from seeing her boys get along. She knew very well just how excited he is for Henry, he had taken every opportunity to pass on the 'trade secrets' to him with it came to his new found love life.

"Fine," He huffed. "But after lunch, we still going on our hike."

"In 'll be taking the girl on a stroll in town instead of the woods." Regina pushed.

"Fine"

"Then it's settled." She clapped her hands. "I'll be on my way now. I still have work to do. Be good, Henry." And with that, she waved her hands, transporting out of the house, leaving the couple to wonder if she is bipolar with the way her attitude change.

Henry looked at his parents. "That wasn't for show, was it?"

Emma shook her head, and Killian looked sympathetic.

"Sorry kid but as much as we wanted to give you freedom on this date, I have to agree on Regina this time. This might have been a good year but with enemies like ours we can't completely let our guard down and we just don't want to see you getting hurt." She offered.

Henry sighed. He just wanted for Violet to have an adventure with him but with his adoptive mother finding out about his plans on going, he just has to figure out another way to enjoy the day with Violet. But isn't it normal for mothers to interfere with their sons date plans? His logical self argued.

And he did want normal.


To fulfill his promise of going for an adventure in the woods, Henry decided to fetch Violet earlier than the agreed time to cover at least interesting sites. Violet was curious as to why he had changed his mind (knowing him and his one track mind, she knew that something came up)

"As promised Violet," Henry offered her his hand as he directed her towards the clearing in the wood. "A trip to the Storybrooke woods."

Violet smiled. "You know you don't have to do this." She said as she looked at the surroundings with awe. She was always drawn towards the woods, and it made her heart melt when Henry decided to take her on a little trip.

"But I wanted to." Henry gave her a sweet smile as they strolled along the woods. There, he went on full launch about where he had witnessed cool Sheriff stuff that happened way back during the first curse.

As a good listener she is, her attention never left her boyfriend, studying his features once in awhile. When she saw that he kept on frowning, she decided to point it out subtly.

"Is this a trick in this realm?" Violet's voice brought him out of his reverie.

He looked at her with confusion. "Huh?" He asked instead to which elicited giggles from his girlfriend.

"You were frowning at every tree we passed by. I assumed that it's a practice I've never had heard of since the stories you were telling me were so interesting. It's either that or you have something on your mind that's bothering you," Violet mused as she watched him look at her sympathetically. "You know you could tell me anything, right?"

Henry smiled at her. "Yeah, I know that." He said in a gentle voice as he took her hand into his and rubbed circles on the back of it. "It's just... everything went back to normal now, and my moms still can't trust us out on our own."

"Well, I'm sure that they trust you, it's just they worry for you. After all, you are the savior's son and THE author. Plus it's a mother's job to worry." She said as she watched him sigh. Her face falls as she watched him continue on his trek with a small smile. She knew that her advice wasn't enough to pull Henry out of his misery just because his mothers had cut their hiking date short.

She tugged onto his wrist. "Shall we eat at Granny's now?"

Henry was contemplating. She knew that look and more often than not, she knew what it means.

"We're not going to disobey your mothers today!" She exclaimed as Henry pouted.

"Come on, Violet. They won't even know!"

"Knowing your parents and the mayor?" She trailed off, shuddering at the thought. She may never understand what is it with heroes that they seemed to know if someone is in danger or not but she doesn't want to be at the end of a scolding for the mess that they're about to get themselves into if she were to go along her boyfriend's plan. "Come on, Henry. We have to go."

Henry ignored her warning and instead went on his way. "Come on, Vi. Where's your sense of adventure?" He urged to which elicited a groan from her.

"We are so dead," Violet mumbled as she followed him to the woods.


"They should've been here an hour ago..." Emma mumbled, watching the door for Henry and Violet as she nursed her cocoa.

"Give the lad a break, Swan," Killian said as he took a seat beside her. "It's not every day the lad gets to take his lass out on a hike."

Emma eyed him wearily as Killian noticed. "What?"

"You've taken the fairy godmother role too seriously," she commented to which earned a smirk from him.

"Don't tell me you're jealous at my role, Swan. Somebody has to step up for the role and seeing as you're quite the uh..." Killian teased as her head snapped at him, glaring at him as if she was daring to complete his statement.

"...mother, I have but to assume the role myself." Killian ended cheekily making, Emma roll her eyes . She turned back towards the door to see the two of them, laughing as they make their way to the diner as if they hadn't known they are way past their curfew.

She got up, and made her way to the two of them. "Henr-!"

Suddenly the earth started on shaking. She looked at Killian worriedly before they silently came to an agreement. They both rushed towards the main street where Henry and Violet were still standing while the ground shook more violently.

"What's going on?" Violet ask clutching on to Henry.

"Earthquake!" A voice answered. Killian turned to see Leroy running down the street toward them.

Killian rolled his eyes at him. "Could you be any more obvious, dwarf?" He snapped. The ground began to splinter and crack as the shaking grew in intensity, Killian, helpless, as he forced to watch as the earth parted him and his son.

Leroy gaped in horrified bewilderment as a bright red light bled from the cracks. "Oh my gods," He mumbled, backing off a little from the street while the rest of Storybrooke's denizens watched in fear.

"Henry!" Emma yelled to which brought the attention of the two teenagers. Henry looked at her with fear in his eyes as he held on to Violet. Before he could answer her , the earth gave one last thunderous shudder and the ground started to fall beneath them as a burst of smoke blinded the town. Emma lunged forward and grab the first thing she could reach. Henry screamed and she pulled back with all of her strength.

The dust settles and Violet is nowhere to be found.

"Violet!"

"Bloody hell," Killian rushed to his family's side. Around the scattered hordes of citizens wandering around still dazed, through the now jigsawed street that wobbled with each step, passed the buildings caked in dust . He looked at his family-he still can't believe he get to claim them as his own- and saw despair in the eyes of his Swan.

He looked at Henry, anxiously searching the boy for any injuries ,thankfully finding none, looked paralyzed in his mother's arm stared blankly ahead. Killian followed the boy's gaze and realized he was watching where Violent had disappeared from. Henry shook himself out of his reverie and broke from his mom's embrace , charging for the hole Violet fell through ignorant to his mother's calls. It took Killian tackling him to ground to stop him.

"No, dad you have to let me save Violet!" Henry thrashed desperate to slip free but Killian held him tight.

"Nay, lad. I have to get you first to your mother." Killian soothed. It hurt to see Henry this upset , Killian is very familiar of what it's like to lose the girl you love suddenly. Just as he was nearing Emma, the ground shifted again, making him turn around to witness the strangest thing.

From the hole, a teenaged girl crawled her way out, carrying nothing but a sword that was as black as night, and an unconscious Violet.

"Bloody hell," Killian mumbled, repeating what he said earlier as his eyes met the girl's.

Her electric blue eyes seemed to pierce through Killian's soul as she smirked in greeting. She looked up as the ground returned to its normal state without any trace of destruction that happened previously which amazed the people who had witnessed the scene. She tried getting up which made him notice that she is currently sporting wounds which he suspected are very deep seeing as fresh blood flows freely to her white shirt.

"Oh, bloody hell indeed." She told them before passing out on the ground.
