I hope you're all still enjoying this. Maybe everyone was busy voting in the Zimbo poll or perhaps Monday was just a slower day but chapter 8 was my lowest reviewed chapter so far. If you have any constructive criticism let me know that too though I am already aware I should check spelling and grammar more.

If a puff of purple smoke Regina was instantly transported to Emma's side. Once again rage flared up in Regina's chest and she was about to lash out at Emma but the fear Regina saw in the other woman's eyes instantly washed the anger away.

"Here," Emma handed Regina one of Henry's scarves. "Can you use this to find him?"

"Yes but," Regina knew she could use that for a locator spell but if Henry saw a scarf flying toward him he would certainly have questions. "I'm not the only one."

Understanding where Regina was going with this the two walked over to Ruby's room and knocked on the door.

"Ruby!" Emma called and knocked on the door harder.

"What are you banging about?" Granny came out into the hallway.

"We're looking for Ruby." Emma told her.

"She out." Granny looked back and forth between the two women.

"Ok we'll call her from the car, let's go." Emma began walking down the hallway with Regina on her heels.

"Ladies, not that kind of out." She pointed out the window to the full moon. "What did you two need?"

"Henry's missing," Regina spoke tensely. She was not one to share her problems since people weren't usually likely to help her.

"Why didn't you say so?" Granny snatched the scarf that was in Regina's hand and brought it to her nose. "Now, where did you see him last?"

Emma and Regina led Granny to Henry's room and Granny pointed to the window. "The boy left through there. No unusual scents so we can be glad the witch or one of her monkeys didn't get him."

Silently they followed Granny across the town to the edge of the forest. Occasionally Regina would look at Emma or Emma would look at Regina as if she was about to say something but neither did.

"Ruby." Granny suddenly stopped. "She's here too, following the same path as Henry if I'm not mistaken."

"Are you sure?" Regina asked.

"You think I don't know my own granddaughter?" Granny bristled. "Scent is getting stronger too they must be close."

The three picked up the pace after that and in a few minutes they saw someone lying on the ground.

"Henry!" Regina called out and began to run toward him when a wolf jumped in her path.

Emma quickly placed herself between Regina and the wolf and raised her gun.

"What are you doing girl?" Emma thought Granny was talking to her but really she was yelling at the wolf. "Ruby, you stop acting foolish."

"That's Ruby?" Emma asked in disbelief. Of course she knew the waitress was actually a werewolf, hence why they had gone to her for help, but knowing as seeing were two different things.

Ruby meanwhile continued to growl but they realize that she wasn't growing at them, there was something in the trees.

"Regina, get down!" Emma yelled but didn't wait for the other woman to move and pushed her out of the way as the flying monkey swooped toward her.

The monkey made another aerial assault to which Regina launched a fireball in response. The magic attack missed but the winged monkey was not able to come out unscathed. As it had dodged the fireball Ruby had managed to take a bite out of its wing.

From the tree the monkey let out a howl. Ruby growled at it and Regina who was now on her feet again ignited another fireball in her hand. The monkey decision to retreat was finalize when Emma fired her gun and manage to clip the beast.

Once the monkey had flow off they all hurried over to Henry.

"He's unconscious but breathing, looks like he got a bump on the head." Granny told them.

"Regina, can you get him to Dr. Whale?" Emma asked.

Henry was out cold so Regina wasted no time and in a puff of smoke they were gone.

A low bark drew Granny and Emma's attention back to Ruby. The werewolf jerked her head in the direction the monkey had taken off indicating her plan to follow it.

"Ok just be careful." Emma sighed and she and Granny began their walk back to town.

OUAT OUAT OUAT

The monkey landed near Zelena with a thud.

"Oh you poor thing what have they down to you?" The witch looked at the monkey's wing and the injury to its shoulder. "Don't worry my pretty, well make them pay."

The monkey answered with a few screeching noises.

"No, its too soon to go after him again, but there's another we can use." Zelena smiled. "Tomorrow we'll see how much courage Prince Charming really has."

The next chapter will be a sort of overlap with last Sunday's episode adjusting for things that are more specific to my story.
