Chapter 4:

When I woke up I was in a black and white bed and above me was a black chandelier. I sat up and looked around, it was very luxurious, there was a wall that was a giant mirror and then behind the bed there were sheer curtains concealing a window. How did I end up here? Then I remembered, Jefferson, he gave me that weird tea and then I passed out. Urgh my head, what was in that tea? But the realization of what was happening hit me and I started to panic. Oh gosh, this is like a scary horror movie. Okay, Elysa calm down breathe, I need to get out of here. I stood up from the bed and tried to get out by the window. Damn it, it didn't even move an inch as I tried my hardest to open it. Okay let's try the door.

Please be unlocked, please be unlocked, please be unlocked. Yes, when I tried it, it opened. Now I need to be careful not to get caught or I'll probably end up in pieces in a freezer. AS I thought that a shiver went down my spine. Oh gosh, so not helping with the scary thought. I peeked out of the room, clear. Now let's try to get out of here unnoticed. I was walking around when I found the stairs, yes I'm almost out I just need to go down and then the door is not mush further from the bottom of the stairs.

I was halfway down when I heard: ''Ah, you're finally awake.'' My heartbeat that was already beating wildly went frantic and I tried to make a run for it. I grabbed to door knob but it was locked. I thought, this is it, I'm going to die. Tears started to form in my eyes as I turned around to face my executioner. He was right behind me and when he saw my watery eyes his smiling face turned sad. ''I'm sorry I had to do this. But I can't let you go, not when you just came back to me.'' He looked at me, imploring me to understand. Then I remembered he thinks I'm his long lost wife

''Just let me go please. Someone's bound to go looking for me, you just can't keep me here please, just… please let me go.'' I asked pleadingly.

''No one is going to go look for you, honey.'' He took out my phone from his pants. ''I texted your friend Ashley saying you couldn't help her for a while since you're sick and contagious and you don't want little Alexandra to catch it. She tells you to feel better by the way. Also your aunt thinks that it's baby Alexandra that's sick and that your staying over at Ashley's to help until the baby is better.''

''What do you want with me then?'' I asked fearful of the answer.

''I just want you to remember. Remember me, us, Grace.'' He seemed sincere but the whole kidnapping thing is still scary. He then took my hands and said: ''I'll make a deal with you give me two weeks to try to make you remember and if you don't then…'' He looked down with a sad look and let go of my hands. ''I'll let you go.'' He finished so softly I almost didn't hear him. I don't know why but seeing him this sad, it broke my heart. Two weeks, that shouldn't be too bad…right?

''Alright, two weeks.'' He looked up and his face seemed to brighten a little at my words. I gave him a small smile. He offered me his hand and after a moment's hesitation I took it and he led me away from the door.


He gave me a tour of the house and we got to know each other. He also tried to jog my memory by telling me stories of 'us' together, which sometimes made me blush especially when he talked about our wedding and then the honeymoon. I was redder than a fire truck. But overall 'our' story was a beautiful one, that is, until we got separated. And I couldn't help but feel myself falling for him. He was really kind, caring, charming and witty.

By the end of the week we were eating breakfast when I started to feel drowsy like when he gave me tea that first time. ''Did you… put something?'' My head was spinning. He stood from his chair in front of me and made his way over to my side of the table.

''I'm sorry.'' He said as he came towards me looking ashamed of drugging me for the second time.

''Why?'' I asked.

''I'm sorry.'' He just repeated as he took me in his arms and I lost consciousness.


Urgh, my head. Why did he do this? Gosh, I'm hungry. How long was I out for this time? I stood from the bed Jefferson put me in and went to the bathroom to get some aspirin for my head. I then headed to the kitchen to get myself something to eat since, I was starving. Once in the kitchen I looked at the clock on the wall. No wonder I'm this hungry I've been out close to 24 hours. I was just finishing eating my mustard toasts with orange juice when I heard the front door open. Oh Jefferson, you're going to have some explaining to do, I thought angrily. I started to make my way to him to tell him exactly what I thought of being drugged, for a second time no less.

But before I could reach him I felt like a pulse go through me and then I remembered everything. From when I heard of Snow's death, to when I followed a man to Wonderland. From my first meeting with Jefferson to when we got married and had Grace. From when we got separated to when I ended up in Neverland. Everything and not just like a story Henry would tell but actual memories.

My anger forgotten I ran to where Jefferson was. When he saw me he looked apprehensive in a nurse uniform, weird. ''I'm sorry…'' I didn't let him finish I jumped on him wrapping my legs around his waist and I kissed him with everything I had. He was shocked but it didn't take him long to respond with as much passion.

After a while we reluctantly broke apart to catch our breath and with our forehead touching I said: ''I love you.''

He looked into my eyes and asked: ''But how…'' I didn't let him finish, I just kissed him again. Oh how I missed him. But I still answered his question between kissed.

''I…'' Kiss. ''Remember…'' Kiss. ''Everything…'' Kiss. Then I started to tug on his shirt he took the hint and let me pull if off and we started to make our way to his bedroom, our bedroom.


We were lying in bed I was absently drawing random patterns on his chest with my fingers when suddenly a thought occurred to me. Grace. My little baby girl, where is she? Of all the time we spent together this past week he never mentioned where she was now. I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. ''Jefferson where's Grace? Our baby girl?''

''She's… I…'' He appeared at a loss for words.

''What happened?'' I looked at him worriedly.

''I was reluctant to take one last job for the Regina. But she promised that Grace will want for nothing and so I accepted. But before I left I promised Grace I'd be back for tea but Regina tricked me. When we went to Wonderland, she didn't tell me that it was to retrieve her father you know the hat's rules.''

''The same amount of people that go through has to come back no more no less.'' I recited.

He gave a small sad smile and went on: ''And so she tricked me and abandoned me in Wonderland without a way of going home to Grace. And now I can't go back to her, she'll hate me.''

''Trust me she won't hate you. I'm sure she'll be thrilled to get you back, I know I was. Please can we go get her? I can't wait to see my baby.'' At that he looked a little uneasy.

''Hum, honey? How old do you think she is?'' I thought about it. Minus the 28 years of the curse we were separated when she was 2 and maybe a year passed when I was in Neverland so I'd say 3.''

''Hmmm, 3?'' He gave a small wince at that. ''What? What's wrong?''

''She's umm… not, 3. She's…'' I could see him hesitating like what he was about to say was going to be really difficult. ''She's… she's 10.'' I felt like the air got knocked out of me. 10, she's 10. My little baby girl is 10. I wanted to cry, I missed so much. Okay… Then I gave a small sarcastic laugh.

''Well now I'm the one that's scared to see her again.'' What is he going to think? Sure it's not like I planned on being sent away to Neverland but still, is she even going to remember me? To recognize my face? Now I fear seeing her again surely if there is one of us she'll hate it would be me. I haven't been there for her for more than half her life.

Apparently my fears showed on my face for Jefferson said: ''Don't worry, we'll go get her together after school this afternoon. We'll do it together.'' That did reassure me, at least a little. I then looked at the clock on the bedside table it red around 11 am. We still had time before going to get Grace so when I looked back at Jefferson I kissed him and we resumed our previous activity.


Around 1:30 pm we were getting hungry and so we got dressed and went downstairs to get something to eat. When we got to the kitchen I spotted a red head at the table.
