Chapter 10- Arrival

Killian tried to open his eyes but the bright light that had engulfed him made that impossible, it was even brighter now than it had been in the library. Killian cried out in pain as something hit his back hard, the force caused him to start spinning even quicker then he already had been before. This was a million times worse than when Regina had been under Saunders' spell and had sent him back to Storybroke in the portal. Killian knew he was going to have to force his eyes open he had to know what kept hitting him and where he could possibly be going. Counting to three and taking a breath Killian forced his eyes open squinting into the light, he began looking around and discovering that he was in some sort of portal and the things that were hitting him were other books that were sucked in with him. Killian cried out in pain as another book hit him, this time in the head.

Looking around Killian discovered that he wasn't falling like he thought he was, the portal was just spinning him, he was able to focus long enough to see the ground beneath him wasn't that far away.

"I have to think of a way to get out of here…" Killian thought to himself, he was starting to feel quite sick from spinning for so long. Finally after what felt like an eternity the light disappeared, which sent Killian falling to the ground. Everything happened so quickly that he didn't have time to ready himself, he fell to the ground face first the impact knocking him out.

Regina used her powers to stop herself from spinning, but there was nothing she could do to make the light disappear. Looking around Regina found that she was in some sort of portal and it was keeping her off the ground, there were books in the portal with her but since she wasn't moving they weren't much of an issue.

"How am I going to get out of here?" Regina asked herself waving her hand trying to get the light to disappear, but it stayed put. Looking around she began looking around trying to find anything that she could use to get out of the portal, but when she looked down she gasped in surprise when she discovered that the light was starting to disappear.

"Oh crap!" Regina cried as the light disappeared completely, she began falling to the ground at a fast speed. Holding her hands out Regina used her powers to slow herself down, landing on the ground softly. However she completely forgot about the books that had been in the portal with her, as one of them fell out of the sky just missing her. Regina quickly ducked down covering her head so that they wouldn't hit her in the head.

After Regina didn't hear any more books hitting the ground she stood up looking around for any clue to where she could be, but she had landed in a forest that was eerily quiet especially for the middle of the night.

"Hello?" Regina called, but there was no answer. Regina knew that she had to try and find Killian and Emma and make sure that they were OK; if they had any chance of surviving whatever Cora and Zelena had planned for them then they would have to all be together.

Belle gripped the sharp stick tightly in her hand; she had been out patrolling when a bright light had appeared in the sky, which could mean one of two things, one; that someone new was sent here, or two; the Boogeyman was back. The town folk had warned her that when she sees the bright light to run and seek shelter as fast as possible, since if the Boogeyman caught someone alone then he would kill them whether they were a child or not.

But Belle was out in the forest all alone and she knew that no matter where she tried to hide then the Boogeyman would find her, and she wouldn't go down without a fight. Glancing out from behind the tree that she was hiding behind Belle watched as the bright light disappeared, but instead of the Boogeyman flying out like she had expected, she watched as someone fell out of the sky, hitting their head on the ground.

"Oh my God!" Belle cried running over the person, even though they weren't moving, she made sure to keep her weapon close to her incase this was a trick. When Belle got closer to the person her heart stopped when she spotted a hook.

"Killian!" Belle cried running over to him and kneeling down beside him, he had hit the ground pretty hard and was unconscious. Belle knew that she couldn't risk moving him in case he had a concussion, she wasn't even sure if he was breathing. Taking a mirror that was pretty badly cracked from Belle's arrival she put it under Killian's nose, breathing a sigh of relief when it fogged up Killian was alive.

"Killian, can you hear me?" Belle asked, but he didn't respond, "Killian, if you can hear me open your eyes!" She said begging, but once again he didn't open his eyes. Belle moved Killian's hair out of his face, with the light of the full moon; she noticed for the first time that Killian had a black eye, and that his face was swollen, apparently he had hit the ground a lot harder than Belle originally thought.

"I hope Ida and Edward come out looking for me." Belle thought as she looked around making sure that no one was around, the forest was quiet as usual. Most nights no one dared venture into the forest at night with the threat of the Boogeyman returning any moment, but Belle wanted to practice her stick throwing skills. Ida and Edward and warned her not to go by herself, but she hadn't listened, she wanted to try and find a way out of this hell hole, but so far she had found nothing, and now it seemed that she wasn't alone.

Regina walked quickly, but took care to watch her steps so that she wouldn't alert anyone where she was, just in case they were dangerous. While Regina walked she looked around for Killian or Emma but so far she hadn't found either of them, of course it didn't help that Regina couldn't call their names. When Regina took another step she gasped when she stepped on a stick, it snapped.

"Who's there?!" A male's voice yelled and he sounded close, Regina didn't respond in hopes that the man would go away.

"I said who's there!" The male's voice yelled once again.

Regina decided that she didn't want to stick around to see who this guy was; she began running as fast as she could. She hadn't made it very far when someone stepped out from a tree grabbing her before she could use her powers to stop them.

"Let me go!" Regina cried.

"I got her, Edward!" Regina was surprised when a female's voice yelled.

A male then walked into view.

"Good job, Ida." He said before holding a sharp stick up to Regina's neck, "who are you and where did you come from?"

"My name's Regina and I came from a different realm; I jumped into this book, to save my friends after the Boogeyman sent them here."

The man lowered the stick, "the Boogeyman sent you here?"

"How do we know she's not a witch?" Ida asked, "Maybe she's lying, you know what will happen if we're caught harvesting a witch."

"I'm not a witch." Regina said.

Edward sighed lowering his stick, "if she were a witch she probably would have attacked us by now, besides we have to find Belle."

"Belle?" Regina asked, "You know Belle?"

Ida reluctantly let go of Regina, "yes we found her unconscious in the forest a few days ago; she told us that she was sent here from a place called The Enchanted Forest by the Boogeyman."

"Belle's here?" Regina asked a small smile appearing on her face, "Is she alright?"

"We don't know," Edward admitted.

"She came out here to survey the forest and make sure that it was safe," Ida said.

"But she's been gone for a few hours now."

"You sent her out here by herself?!" Regina demanded, "Who knows what could have happened to her!"

Edward raised the stick back up to Regina's neck, "you're not really in a position to give us a hard time we don't fully trust you yet."

Regina took a deep breath calming herself down it seemed like Edward wasn't messing around, "you're right, I'm sorry."

Edward lowered his stick once again.

"Come, Ida, let's go and try to find Belle."

"Can I come?" Regina asked.

Ida scowled at Regina, "If you feel the need to."

"If you try anything funny then you're dead." Edward warned Regina.

Regina nodded her head and began walking behind Edward and Ida; she didn't really trust them enough to walk in front of them. Regina was afraid that Edward would stab her in the back.

Killian groaned his eyes fluttering, he had such a headache, and he felt like he had been punched in the face by someone.

"Killian?" A female's voice asked, but Killian's vison was too blurry to see who it was, and he was too disoriented.

"Killian?" The same female's voice asked, "If you can hear me open your eyes."

Groaning and forcing his eyes to open all the way Killian blinked a few times as his right eye focused, his left eye was still blurry.

"Killian, you're alright!"

Looking up Killian was surprised to see Belle kneeling beside him.

"Belle?" He mumbled.

"I'm here, you're alright."

"Where's… Em… Emma?" Killian mumbled once again.

"Emma?" Belle asked confused, "I don't know."

Killian tried to get up, but he was dizzy and fell right back down, "what do you think you're doing?" Belle asked.

"I… ha…ve… to… fi…nd… E…mm…" Killian never got to finish his sentence as he passed back out.

"Poor Killian…" Belle said rubbing his back.

A few moments later Belle heard footsteps coming towards her and Killian. Belle quickly stood up picking up her stick, staring into the distance she got ready to throw the stick at whoever was coming.

A second later three people walked into view.

"Belle is that you?"

Belle sighed in relief as she recognized the voice.

"Edward, Ida!"

"You're alright!" Ida said running over to Belle hugging her.

"Do you know this one?" Edward asked pushing Regina into view.

"Regina?" Belle asked surprised.

"Belle!" Regina cried running over to Belle also hugging her.

"What are you doing here?" Belle asked.

"The Boogeyman sent Emma into the book…"

"Emma is here?" Belle asked.

Regina nodded her head, "yeah and then Killian jumped through and I figured that they were going to need some help so I followed."

"That was pretty brave of you," Ida said impressed, "it's pretty dangerous here."

"That's what we do for our friends." Regina said nonchalantly.

Edward kneeled down beside Killian, "has he woken up?"

Belle nodded her head, "for a few seconds."

"That's a good sign," Edward said, "we should probably get him back to our place, and make sure he's OK."

"What about Emma?" Regina asked.

"Yeah she could be passed out in the forest somewhere just like Killian." Belle said.

Ida and Edward looked at each other, "if she's not around the same spot that you and Killian showed up, Regina, then that could mean that she appeared in town and that won't be good…" Ida said.

Belle gasped, "I hadn't thought of that."

"Why what will happen if she appeared in town?" Regina asked confused.

Ida Belle and Edward all exchanged nervous looks.

Emma screamed as the bright light disappeared sending her falling to the ground, she landed on a bed of flowers, which hurt, but since immediately after she felt the twins' kick, she sighed in relief knowing that they were alright. Emma sat up her eyes growing wide with surprise when a bunch of people crowded around her.

"She fell out of the sky!" One of them screamed.

"Not only that but she survived falling out of the sky!"

"She's a witch!" A male screamed.

"Yeah she's a witch!" Several people agreed.

Emma stood up, "I'm not a…" She never got to finish her sentence as a man walked up to her pressing a spear to her neck.

"Silence witch!" He demanded.

Every nerve in Emma's body froze as the man held the spear dangerously close to her throat; she knew if she moved then he would kill her.

"Arrest her!" The man demanded, "Tomorrow we will have a good old fashioned witch's trial!"

Everyone in the crowd started cheering.

Another man walked up to Emma he took her wrists tying them together, he then started pulling Emma away, he pulled a little too rough which made her lose her footing several times.

"Please! I'm not a witch!" Emma said begging.

Several people began booing as she passed them; some even began spitting on her.

"So if Emma's convicted of being a witch what will happen?" Regina asked.

"There's no if," Edward said.

"What do you mean?" Regina asked.

"If she arrived in town and the townspeople see her fall from the sky, then she will be labeled as a witch and will be killed." Ida said.

Regina's heart stopped as the words left Ida's mouth, unable to support her own weight anymore Regina fell to the ground feeling sick to her stomach.
