Chapter 3: The savior arrives
Amy cracked up the music, she started sway her hips in the rhythm of the music that blasted out of the speakers. Archie turned to the installation and moved the volume button down. Amy stared at him, not drunk. Not anyone could be drunk of two drinks, yet Amy seemed to pretend anyway. She showed her frustration about the music, but she didn't do anything about it. After a few minutes she threw her body on the bed, tangling the sheets partly around her.
"You haven't drank enough to be drunk." He whispered as he stepped next to the bed.
"But I like the enjoyfull bliss of being drunk." She smiled at she turned on her stomach and the bed sheets followed her forming a protective cocoon around her. "I don't like the painful side effect."
"You mean a hangover?" He smiled "I can promise to you that you won't have a hangover over this. Amy, do you think it's smart? You ought to go home, I bet your mother is worried sick about you."
"She adopted me when I was 12." Amy smiled "She's doing perfectly fine."
"She loved you." He smiled "Everyone who knows you, loves you."
She smiled as she shook her black hair around. Archie had a kind of smile on his face, he sat down on the bed. She got up and stared at him.
"I shouldn't have let him go?"
"Henry is going to be fine." He moved a string of hair. "Trust me, Amy."
"Do you mind if I stay the night?" She turned to Archie. "I can't go home tonight."
He didn't answer her, he just gave her his world famous nod. How could he say no? He was never able to say no to her, he remembered in the last 10 years she had crashed at his place more than once. They kind of grew up together, when she was only 18, he was 26. 8 years difference, not something people couldn't get over. It wasn't a secret to himself, why he could never say no to her. He was in love with her, in love with every part that made Amy, Amy. Yet he feared the reaction that Regina would have.
Amy always said Regina felt indifferent about her, that she took her in as an extra asset to become mayor. Yet that didn't seem the truth when she asked about their many sleepovers, Regina was always clear. She said that Amy was off limits and that she would take revenge if he started a relationship with Amy. Amy on the other hand didn't keep any attention to that, she didn't move farther away from him. She just move closer. She liked to prick fun at him. As he stared at the bed Amy was in, he grabbed the dog leach stared at Pongo and walked outside. This was going to be a long night.
Enchanted Forrest
In Storybrooke her name was Amy, in the enchanted forest her name wasn't as short. She didn't have a brother, she had a sister. Her name was Daniella; there was no White behind, even if she had pale skin. She was the sister of Snow White.
After the wedding she was standing there, staring at Snow. Snow's eyes were worried, she turned to the other side of the room.
"I'm sure it's not as bad as it seems." Daniella spoke "She's not that bad."
"I know that she's your mother, but taking away all happy endings doesn't seem harmless. She's planning something." Snow turned away. "He has to know."
"Are you talking about him?" She turned away just a bit. "She's my mother, she's not…"
"She caused the dead all over the country." Snow turned to her. "She locked you up, she made you believe I was the one that killed father. You should be furious with her, yet you keep giving her unlimited chance. What's with that?"
"I keep believing there's something good in her." Daniella spoke "I believe there's good in her and you believe it too, if you didn't she would be dead. And you know that she kept me there to protect me, I mean I can hardly remember my father."
"Dani…" Snow paused "We have to know what she's up too."
"But Rumpelstiltskin?"
Regina moved from the left side of the room, to the right. Henry had not been at school today, Amy had been. She was very mad when Graham refused to look for Amy with the argument: 'she'll turn up some time or another'. After a moment of anger, he said he would look for Amy. Now Regina resumed her walked all over the room. She took her phone once again and called Amy's number, yet there was no answer. She put the phone down in anger. She turned to the clock once again, it was already 11. Amy was never this late and Henry had never been outside the house at this time.
Graham stepped inside, Regina could see by his face that he hadn't found any sign of neither Amy and Henry. She moved her hands to his head.
"Where have you looked?" Regina started to panic. "Have you at least checked Amy's friends? I don't care, have you looked."
"We called to her friends." Graham replied "They haven't see her since school."
"You call that working?" She raised an eyebrow. "I would have found them by now. So have you checked their rooms? Maybe they left some signs."
"I'll do that." As he walked on the stairs.
Henry sat in the car in silence. He noticed that conversation between him and his biological mother wasn't exactly as easy as he expected. Amy had told him that his mother might end up being a total disappointment, that wasn't the case. He had so many things to tell her, about his town, about the book, even small towns about what he liked, but he didn't know how to express him. So he started to count boards they saw, if they saw twenty he would say something. And so on, but twenty became thirty, thirty became forty and when they arrived number fifty he moved his lips together. What was a fist thing you said to your mother. Did hello count as enough? Was there a handbook on what to say? Why had he not noted what he needed to tell her?
"So how did you find me?" After a few hours and sixty plates Emma was the first one to say something. He couldn't explain how he found her, she didn't want too.
"What is that?" She asked when she noticed he was playing with the book.
"You're not ready for that." He whispered, very convinced she would not make out his voice.
"It's just fairy tales."
"They're not just fairy tales." He replied "They're real stories. You should know more than anyone. You're in them."
A silence returned to the car, Henry thought about returning to counting something, but it seemed that the next thing they say was the name of their town. They drove inside, it seemed that something happened. Like Emma arriving in the town seemed to change how they looked at the town. Henry smiled, he did it. The saviour had arrived in Storybrooke. They moved on faster and as they entered the town, Emma spoke once more. "Where do you live?"
"44 'I'm not telling you' street."
The breaks peeped as they stopped. Or maybe Henry thought they did. Emma stared to him with anger, and Henry did the only thing possible. He got out of the car.
"Look, kid." She replied "It's late, it's almost…." She looked to the clock behind her in surprise. "8.15" She didn't understand, the sky didn't say 15 past 8, it said more like 11. She would have sworn she departed at 8. It wasn't possible to arrive 15 minutes before she took off. How was this possible? Or did she not read the clock right. She turned away, what was this day? On all days, why did this have to happen today? She hadn't wished for it.
"That clock has not moved my entire life." Henry paused "Time stands still here…"
"Excuse me?" She crossed her arms over her chest.
"The evil queen did it with a curse, she send everyone from the enchanted forest here.." He was interrupted.
"The evil queen send a bunch of fairy tale characters here?" She raised an eyebrow. Was this her kid? She would never believe such a strange story, it seemed that he really did believe it.
"And now they're stuck here."
"Frozen in time, stuck in Storybrooke, Maine." She shook her head very slightly. "That's what you're going with?"
"It's true." He spoke
"Then why don't they just leave?"
"They can't. If they did, bad things would happen." He thought about it, had he ever seen that bad things happened to people who left. Amy wanted to leave with him, but he stopped her, because he thought bad things would happen. Yet her never actually seen the 'bad things' he was talking about. Maybe he should just push someone over that town line, yet he wouldn't.
"Henry." They heard a voice. "What are you doing here?"
Henry stared at the man that was coming towards him. It was Archie Hopper, his therapist and he also thought his sister's boyfriend, yet he was never sure if they actually were together. Yet he always saw him as an item. And as he came towards them. He spoke once more: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Archie." He replied petting Pongo.
"Who's this?" He asked.
"I'm just the wo…"
"She's my mother." He said with a proud smile.
"Oh, I see." Archie knew off course that Henry had gone to find his mom. Amy had already told him all about him, but seeing her was something strange. A part of him wanted to run home, tell Amy that Henry was home. Another part wanted to scream an Henry for making Amy that worried. "Henry, you do know your sister is worried sick at my place?"
"Yes." He felt a bit shame.
"Sister?" Emma turned to him. "Wait, at your place?"
"They're together." Henry smiled
Archie started to blush under the accusation that he and Amy were a couple, why he always seemed to get the blush was a question to him. Maybe because of Regina's threats, yet now he had it in front of a stranger. Look, he thought, this woman knows nothing about you and Amy. Yet a part of him felt that he needed to deny everything.
"Look, Henry, me and your sister are nothing but platonic friends." His voice was unsure. "We are friends. Just friends."
"Yeah, right." Emma had a weird smile on her face. "If you're in deny things like that, you're too deeply in love with…"
"We're not in love." He bid his lips. "I think. I…"
"Where does he live?" Emma broke the strange silence that happened because of Henry's sister, Amy. Apparently her name was Amy.
At Mufflin street, the mayors house is the biggest one on the block." He replied.
"You're the mayors kid?" Emma turned to Henry a bit.
"Maybe." He looked to the ground.
"So that's your sister's boyfriend." Emma stared at him. "he doesn't seem cursed to me. Maybe he is just trying to help you."
"He's the one that needs help .That's because he doesn't know." He stared at her.
"That he's a fairy tale character?"
"None of them do. They don't remember who they are."
"Convient." She watched him get in on the other side of the car. "So I'll play, who is he supposed to mean."
"Jimny Cricket."
"so I assume your sister doesn't know she's in a relationship with a cricket?" Henry wanted to laugh, but didn't. "I don't wanne be there when she finds out."
Enchanted Forest
"And you believe Rumpelstiltskin?" Someone at the table asked. Danielle turned to him. Let's think about it. Did they believe that her mother would take them to some other world where they wouldn't remember who they were. This couldn't be right, she stared at Snow, she knew how much difficulty she was going through. Her child would be some kind of saviour, she would come back after 28 years. She didn't know what she had to think, yet she didn't believe it.
"I don't know…" Daniella spoke "I can't believe she would do that, she's my mother."
"Look it missy." Grumpy replied "Your mom turned evil, you should come to terms with it. "
"Look who's talking." She turned to Grumpy with a glare on her face. "I say we should talk to her, show her that we're with her, that she doesn't need to feel this hate. Let me talk to her."
"Dani, the hope for her is gone." Jimny Circket spoke. "She made her bed."
"You too." She stood up. "So you're all ready to fight her?"
"The animals speak about the plans the evil queen has." Charming spoke "There's no time to talk, we have to fight now. I'm sorry, Dani. I know you love her."
"So give me a chance…" It became quiet, yet they could still hear everything that was happening in the room. Danielle turned around, she stepped to the window. She thought about her mother, Regina. She needed to go see her, talk to her. She needed to go there, yet everyone called her evil. She didn't know how people were saying this about her own mother, she loved her mother, no matter what happened. When she turned around, she saw the blue fairy drive in a tree.
"Can we return to the fighting?" Snow seemed distracted, her mind was with her baby. Not with the things that were going on it the room. She didn't listen when everyone was talking about the tree. It seemed that she only listened when she heard it could only take one. Did that mean that Charming wasn't going? She stared at her sister. Daniella shared the same distraction. She thought about her mother, Snow thought about her child.
"Everything will be fine…" She heard Daniella speak. "I'm sure."
"You know?" Snow stared at her.
"You will get to meet your child, Snow."
Archie stepped inside the apartment with a smile, Amy had moved from the bed to the kitchen, giving herself the right to steal ice cream from his fridge. She had cookie dough ice cream in her hands as she stared to him entering the apartment.
"You have to explain to your brother that we're not in a relationship." He smiled to her.
"So he's back?" She cried in relief. " He thinks we're in a relationship?"
" Yeah, I think he's got his biological mother convince of it too."
"He actually found her." Amy looked away. "What's she like?"
"Very blond." He spoke "Amy, I can't make much of seeing her once."
"Well, that's very shrink of you." She took the spoon and ate her ice cream. "Does she seem nice?"
"Yes." He replied "You can check her out, I send them to Regina's house. I think they'll be there by now. You can go home now."
"Not going home today." She replied. "She's in a 'I'm going to kill' mood, I better go home right. I'm planning on riding out the storm."
"Riding out the storm?" He turned to her. "I never knew you were scared of confrontation."
"I'm not scared." She returned to the bed with the ice cream by her side. Archie sad down beside her.
"tomorrow?" He stared at her.
"Okay."
Emma his biological mother was walking in front of him, she was going to bring him home. Yet he didn't want to return to that place, what could he do so he didn't have to go there.
"please don't take me back there."
"I heard how worried your sister was." She turned to him for just second. "I can't imagine how worried your parents must be."
"I only have a mother…" He paused. "And she's evil."
"Isn't that a bit too extreme?" Emma turned around facing him.
"She doesn't love me." He looked down. "She only pretends too."
"Kid, I'm sure that's not true."
"Henry." Regina ran outside. She seemed worried, the first thing she did was take Henry' in her arms. She couldn't stop thinking about what could have happened, the next thing she noticed was the woman with long blond hair right next to him. "What happened? Where's Amy?"
"I found my real mom." Henry ran inside.
"You're Henry's biological mom." Regina stared to the woman, she had grey eyes a pale skin and in a way she reminded her of Mary Margaret. The woman said 'hey' very quietly. She couldn't think, she was still worried about her other child Amy.
"How do you feel about the best apple cider you've ever tasted?" Emma didn't smile.
"You have anything stronger?" They walked inside together. Regina didn't know what Graham had said, if he went to the station or if he went inside to check on Henry. She just did what she felt to do, she took two glasses and poured in some whiskey. She had admit that she was hardly listening to the words this Emma was saying. She could have said a lot on their way inside, she didn't care.
"How did he find me?" That was the first thing Emma said she really heard.
"I don't know." Regina gave her the glass. "I adopted him when he was 5 weeks, said the birth mother didn't want to have contact."
"You were told right." Emma took of sip.
"Should I worry about the father?"
"He doesn't even know." Emma said down. "Amy must be your biological daughter."
"No, I adopted her when she was 12. The parents were ran away drug addicts, they were in a car crash of the road. The kid was panicked. I did what any human would do, I took her in." She stared at Emma. "I'm still worried about her."
"Well, she's staying with this Archie guy." Emma smiled "She's okay."
"Thank you for that." Regina turned away. What was Amy doing at Archie's place. "I worry a lot about them. Should I worry about you too?"
"No." Emma took a sip of her glass once more.
"You shouldn't worry." Graham came from the stairs. "He's tired, but beside that everything is okay. Plus, Amy is staying with Henry's shrink, he told that Amy was also very worried and didn't dare to come home."
"thank you sheriff." They walked to Regina's study, as Emma entered she closed the door. "I don't know what's gotten in to them. You have to understand that ever since I've become mayor balancing thing has been tricky. You have job I assume?"
"Yes." Emma answered. "I keep busy."
"Imagining another one on top of it." She sat down next to Emma. "So I push for order. you don't think that makes me evil, right? I want Henry and Amy to excel in life. I don't want them to end up..""
"I thinks it's because of the fairy tale thing…"Emma smiled.
"What fairy tale thing?"
"Oh, he has this book." Emma smiled "He thinks everyone is a cartoon character."
Regina didn't react, she did show she didn't know what Emma was talking about. Yet in her mind she thought about Henry being on to something. Emma was confused too, she stood up. There was nothing she could say anymore, anything she said would come of wrong. As she walked out of the house, she saw Henry watching her. Almost like he wanted her to stay. She walked to her car, turning around. What did she need to do? Did she need to stay? What could she do?
As she started the car she saw the book.
"Sneaky bastard." She whispered.
