A/N OMG I didn't think I'd get so many follows! THANK YOU PEOPLES! HOLY S** I forgot the disclaimer on Chapter 2 as well! It's going to take me awhile to get used to that. :\

DISCLAIMER: I will never, ever EVER own Once Upon a Time or Baelfire.

"Gods! Don't hit so hard!"

Bae dodged another attack, returning one of his own. "Tough up big boy! You can go faster than that!" June twirled around, side-sweeping his leg and landing on top of him. He fought to push her off, or at least get an arm-bar or triangle-leg choke, but she stayed firmly on his chest, cutting off his air supply.

"I win." She smirked as he gave up. June pulled herself off him, grabbing his hand and helping him up off the gravel. They always practiced fighting in the courtyard, where they could have leverage on park benches and the padding of gravel or lawn under them. The nurses had stopped caring, for there were only four or five of them left that would stay. It was the holidays, so even though it was cold, they could work in peace. "Keep your head off the ground if I tackle you because if I tried to punch your face, your head would take all the impact." She pulled her auburn ponytail tighter, even though it still went to her mid-back and fell into her way.

June reminded him slightly of Morraine, his old friend in the Enchanted Forest, but Morraine was never tough enough to try and fight anyone or had the endurance to do anything more than talking.

"Alright, alright." He pulled back into a fighting pose. "Let me try again."

Her hands were still down at her sides, so he took that as a sign that she wasn't ready. Suddenly with a quick motion, June sidestepped her foot to the left, catching him off guard and struck a painful blow with her fist to his ribs. Bae fell into the gravel again. "Rule one! Never trust your opponent!" June helped him up anyways. "Go again."

This time he attacked first. But failed. She tried doing a ridge hand to his unprotected head, for he always held his hands a little lower than he should've. Bae managed to dodge the attack, swinging under and gripping her wrist with his hand, pulled her over his back and onto the gravel. "Whoa." She coughed and he helped her up. "I didn't teach you that."

"Just came into my mind." He shrugged, before pulling into another stance, ready for another attack.

"No," She teased. "We're done for the day, see?" She pointed upwards and he squinted into the blackening sky. Or Violeting sky. Either one. She could always tell what time it was just by looking where the sun was. He could only tell night and day apart. "It's six o'clock, almost time for dinner and then bed." The new world also had a now time system, though he got used to that fairly easily.

"That sucks." He ran his hands through his hair. He still wasn't used to it now that it was shorter and spiking straight up, unlike before when it was in massive curls around his head. "We'll train tomorrow though, right?"

June hesitated. Whenever she hesitated that was bad. It meant she wasn't prepared and that wasn't good. "Sure. Sure we'll train tomorrow." June's voice wavered and she cracked her knuckles. Another thing she did when she was nervous.

"What's wrong?" He asked. No, it was more like a demand.

"Nothing." June shrugged. "Nothing important."

Bae rolled his eyes. No matter how well she could lie to others, she could never lie to him. "I'm serious, what's going on?"

She turned and tapped her foot on the gravel, also biting her lip. "I heard some of the nurses talking about, and I quote, 'Some fairytale guy' getting released later today." June said in a rush.

"Me? They would've told me!" Baelfire protested. There was no way he could be leaving. Of course he hated the place, after spending a long year and a half there, but June had been there longer and there was no way they would release him and not her too.

"Not exactly," She turned around and started walking back to the cafeteria. He followed obediently. June sighed deeply before continuing. "The last boy, not one of us but you know, he left with no warning what-so-ever." They passed a group of nurses and she stopped talking until they passed. "He sent me a letter a month later saying that they only told him he was leaving a couple minutes before he left."

"Oh." They stopped talking as they reached the cafeteria. Simple food again, some type of noodles and tomato sauce. After eating they drew a bit on some parchment. He still hadn't got used to calling it paper. Sooner or later he was back in his cot, unable to sleep because of June's words in his head.

Please don't come and take me away. Well… He thought it over. He didn't want to leave without June, but then again he could always come back when he was older and bail her out of the asylum. No. She would hate him for coming back after leaving her. Just like he hated his father for leaving him.

Suddenly he heard his door unlock itself. No! He sat up immediately facing Susie and the same two ogre guards from his first day. "Congratulations! You're being released Baelfire! We're going to take you to a foster home and you'll get all knew friends and a family-"

"What? No! I don't want to go!" Bae struggled as the guards picked up by the arms, almost wrenching them from their sockets. "Let me go!"

"Aw… sweetie, of course you want to go, you just need to get used to it." Susie pinched his cheeks again and he resisted the urge to spit on her shoes. He was dragged out the door quite literally. Bae kicked and screamed the entire way, trying to convince them that he was still crazy.

"June! June wake up!" He yelled. Her room was the floor above him, so he felt that if he yelled enough she would wake up and help him. "June they're taking me away! Help!"

He was thrown forwards as one of the ogre men was pushed. The next dropped Bae to the floor to react to the attacker. It was June, furiously blocking the man's punches. Quickly she side stepped around him, getting a few precious uppercuts to his liver and then pulling up behind him, kicking him to the floor so he fell on his head.

The other man got up from where he was pushed and tried to grab June by the arms. She pulled herself up on his bicep like a pull-up and swung herself around so she was sitting on his shoulders. Hitting him in the nose with the ball of her fist, she pushed herself off sending the man into Susie, who crashed to the ground with a thud.

Dazed from his spot on the floor, he could barely move as June jogged over to him, her face bloody and scratched as she let the one three letter word drop. "Run."

A/N Another short-ish chapter. I'm not usually used to writing in chapters so yeah... Little bit more BaexJune and a little action. Also bending time a bit because I'm going to make it so Baelfire ends up in Storybrooke when he's about 17. R&R and I completely love constructive criticism!
