I'm still new to the format so if there's anything wrong and if you know how to fix it let me know

"Oh there you are!" A voice says startling Henry from his thoughts. Snapping his head towards the voice he sees Emma Swan. "Mom," The teen breathes out. "I heard some noise and then I didn't see you so I just followed the noise and here you are and…that." She ended motioning towards the dead beast on the forest floor. His mother then started berating herself about how shouldn't have let Henry come and how she was irresponsible leading all the way back to the castle.

"So what happened?" The Evil Queen had demanded the second Emma and Henry told the council what exactly had happened, Henry laving out anything including A replacing her with himself in the story. Of course he was vague considering his mother had the ability to tell whether or not someone is lying. "The love just told you," Hook says calmly defending his girlfriend. "You were supposed to protect him!" Regina kept raising her voice "Well he seemed to find on his own and besides, he's seventeen he can handle himself." Henrys birth mother defended. "Regina calm down," Snow White intervened "Though I must agree that was…slightly irresponsible of Emma, but she was doing what we had sent her to do and Henry is more than capable enough to handle himself." She amended. By this point the said teen just wanted to get out of there before they questioned him again. So he got up and left with no issues at all. At least that's what he wanted.

"Henry I need to ask you something," Snow asked "Yeah what is it?" He questioned nervously. "How did you kill the thing?" She asks referring to the monster that had attacked Henry. Oh yeah, did I mention that they only told Emma's side of the story?

He hesitates trying to tell the truth while protecting A. "Don't tell her you saw me alright?" The girl whispered. "Then tell me your name," He bargained. The girl hesitated but says, "You can call me A."So he recounts what happens and replaces anything that A did with himself. "I went into the woods and heard some noise. The monster came at me and it ended up chasing me till it blocked me from going anymore. I pulled out my Long Sword and swung it at the monster. After awhile it ended up dead." He finished skirting on the whole 'How-The-Monster-Died-Thing' though that was the point. Before anyone could stop him Henry practically ran out of the Council Room.

It's been a week since the boy saw that girl again but he wanted to figure out who she is before he goes off aimlessly searching for her. Every time he thought that he had a lead it would immediately turn out into a dead end; this girl is untraceable. His daily routine changed from waking up, going to Violet, go home and sleep to wake up, eat, and go into the library, skip dinner, sleep. It started getting troubling for the seventeen year old's family.

"Hey Henry," Came a voice from behind him. Without looking up he recognized her voice "Hi mom," Flip, flip, flip 'Nothing' Tossing the book somewhere on the long wooden table the teen picks up another and goes through it.

Taking a deep breath Regina asks, "Henry why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" Came his response. "Waking up early, eating a concerning-ly light breakfast and then locking yourself in here till midnight!" She recalls her voice showing her irritation. It's true, Henrys light meals made him go thin and his slightly tanned skin tone has gone paler as if he were sick. "I'm looking for someone," He responds absentmindedly putting the current book back down and picking up another.

"Well who are you looking for?" The Evil Queen asks "Someone," He mumbles again scanning the pages and then flipping a page having the process on repeat. "Henry it's been three weeks now since your started doing this you are taking a break." She ordered taking the book away from her son. "Fine…" He murmured stubbornly and went to the kitchen. His health routine changed back to the old one quickly since they locked the library and records room from Henry. For the rest of the month one thought was one repeat in his mind, "Only if you look,"

He went to the woods looking for someone, looking for A. He tried to forget to take Hooks advice and forget that the event had ever even happened but not even Killion Jones had fully believed what he was telling the young boy. So he went digging. Quite literally at that; the teen went on his hand and knees looking for the girl who had saved him that month ago.

"Where are you A," He mumbled. "Only if you look," He can still remember that small smile on her face. He dug around some more and then walked around the forest going deep enough so that he can just see where the castle is. "Took you a month, huh?" A voice questioned from behind. Henry spun around hand on his Long Sword and him just barely remembering the familiar voice. "A," He breathed out "Took you long enough to show up." He comments.

"Well I did tell you that you had to look," She replies flatly. The male releases his sword and it slid back into its sheath. "Are you sure that you don't want to keep that sword out?" She asks gesturing towards Henrys motion. "Well why would you save me then try to kill me," Henry states as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. A grin appeared on her face the upper lip and above completely hidden by the hood. "You're right, what took you so long to find me?" She asks studying the boys face. "I tried to in the books and in the records before looking for you again but after awhile they wouldn't let me leave the castle without someone with me and they locked the two rooms."

"Sorry about that," A mumbled. "You shouldn't have been looking for someone who doesn't want to be found though." "But you asked me to look for you." Henry protested. "So…Henry is it?" "Yeah how'd you know?" He asked the answer being his mother yelling it in the woods. "Tell me something about yourself," The older boy asked her being responded with flatly, "I'm sixteen." "I'm seventeen." The boy responded with. "Alright," A blunt response from the girl.

The two sat in silence and just walked around in silence the occasional question and answer popping up here and there. At the end of the day he duo arrived on the outskirts of the woods where the castle can be seen. "Can I meet you again?" Henry asked being answered just like last time. "Only if you look," And he did and they met dozens of times before anything bad happened.

"Took you long enough," A voice popped out above him. "A," Henry says and smiles relieved. "What's wrong?" Came her concerned voice. "There's a ball coming up and well…I can't dance." Henry complains. It was inevitable that she would figure it out. After these months Henry learned that A was perceptive to a certain extent; she would've figured out sooner or later that a ball was coming up in the castle and he had to dance, but probably not the reason.

Today A was wearing black pants with her usual black knee high boots. The pants didn't have any patterns on it but what could be seen of her shirt is that the ends looked like diamonds. Of course, she was wearing her usual dark blue hood that hid any part of her face upper lip and above. For those confused it's been another two months for the couple and they had become something like friends; Henrys family still not knowing anything about the mystery girl.

"What, is the ball dancing the same as it was in the other world?" A asks referring to the 'other world' as Henrys birth realm. Sounds mystical and magic-y, I know right? "Yeah it is actually," The male answered sounding slightly impressed by his companions thinking. "Well I guess I could help you with some of that." A suggests dragging Henry away deeper into the forest and searching for a clearing.
