While Regina had been downstairs talking to Emma, Ellie had went up to see Henry. She sighed as she reached his room. Things with Henry were beginning to get harder and harder. He was adamant that their mother was the evil queen, of course she was but they wouldn't tell him that. But they were beginning to find it harder to handle the whole situation. Ellie sighed once again and knocked on Henry's bedroom door. She then opened it and peered round seeing Henry lying on his bed reading his fairytale book. Ellie rolled her eyes but then put a smile on her face.

"Can I come in?" Ellie asked. Henry merely nodded his head not saying a word. Ellie stepped into the room and closed the door behind her. She walked over to his bed. "May I?" She asked motioning to the edge of the bed.

"Knock yourself out." Henry muttered.

Ellie nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed next to Henry's legs. She sighed and ran her fingers through her long dark brown hair. Looking over at Henry she watched as his eyes scanned the book in front of him. "You know mom was really worried about you. She was going mad with not knowing where you were."

"I doubt that." Henry muttered again.

"Henry come on! She really was worried. You should know that she loves you." Ellie sighed.

"She can't love me. She's the evil queen."

"Don't be silly." Ellie replied. "Of course she's not. I think you have had your head stuck in that fairy tale book for too long."

"No look…" Henry said sitting up. He shuffled round and placed the book on Ellie's lap. "There she is the evil queen. She looks just like mom." He then turned a page. "And look there is Snow White. Looks just like Miss Blanchard. And this one…" Henry said turning the page again. "Looks like you…don't you think?" He looked up at Ellie waiting for her to respond.

She couldn't deny the pictures really did look like them all. She couldn't believe how good the pictures actually were. No wonder he was on to them. She looked down at Henry. She really did love her little brother and she hated how confused and alone her felt. She closed the book and gave it to him. "I won't deny we all do look a little like the pictures you just showed me but…Henry fairytales aren't real. This is real life. The here and now and well…with all your evil queen talk…it's hurting mom. She really loves you. Can't you just try and be nice to her?"

"I don't know. I can't trust her if she is the evil queen. Anyway I have brought Emma here. She is the saviour, she's going to save us all from the evil queens curse."

"How is Emma going to save us all?" Ellie asked out of curiosity.

"I'm not really sure of that yet. I haven't worked that part out. All I know is that she is the one to break the curse. That's what the book says." Henry said.

"Really?" Ellie nodded her head. "So is Emma going to stick around?"

Henry shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I hope so."

"You hope so? You want to spend some time with her?" Ellie asked.

"I guess. It might be nice to spend some time with my real mom. Find out what she's really like. If I'm anything like her. But I don't think mom will let me." Henry looked down at her lap with a sad look on his face. Seeing him like this made Ellie feel really sorry for him. She remembered what it was like to wish she could spend time with her mother. Find out everything about her and if she was anything like her.

"Well…I suppose I could try help you out…to see your mom like…" Ellie started.

"Really?" Henry asked her with a big smile on his face.

"Yea…but you have to promise me one thing Henry."

"Okay…whatever you want."

"If I help you, you have to try and get on with mom. Be nice to her. Also don't tell her I am going to help you out. I'd hate to think what her reaction would be." Ellie said running her fingers through her hair again.

"That's two promises…but I suppose I can promise to do them both." Henry said nodding his hand. He stood up standing in front of Ellie. He held out his pinkie. Ellie smiled at him and wrapped her pinkie round his. "Pinkie promised."

"Pinkie promised."

A few days had passed and much to Regina's annoyance Emma had stuck around in Storybrooke. Regina felt as if she was invading her life. Hanging around Henry, stealing her son away from her. She hated her for it. This was definitely not in her grand plan. She sat in her office trying to figure out her next move to try and get rid of Emma.

While Regina was doing this Emma and Henry were out walking around Storybrooke. Henry was showing Emma around and trying to find out everything he could about her. Emma had to admit she was already growing attached to the boy. She didn't think she would feel this way about the young boy. She shook her head as Henry pulled on her jacket sleeve.

"Are you listening to me?" He asked.

"Course kid." Emma replied.

"Okay what did I just say then?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

Emma shrugged. "Okay I don't know that one." She sighed. "Sorry, continue." Henry began to talk about. He then gasped and grabbed Emma's arm pulling her over and hiding behind a parked car. "Wha…what the hell is going on?" Emma asked.

"Look it's my sister, Ellie." Henry said pointing.

Emma looked over to ,Henry was pointing. She could see a tall, skinny young girl with long dark brown hair and she was stood with a young man who had sandy short blonde hair. Arms wrapped around one another you could tell they were definitely not just friends. "So? I thought you got on with your sister."

"I do but I didn't know she had a new friend." Henry frowned.

"I don't think he is just a friend kid." Emma laughed a little. "Looks much more than that."

"What you mean like a boyfriend?" Henry asked.

They both looked over and saw that Ellie and the boy were now kissing. Henry frowned and Emma laughed. "Oh yea I think just like a boyfriend."

"Eww."

"Henry there is nothing wrong with your sister having a boyfriend."

"Try telling my mom that. Wait until she finds out Ellie has a boyfriend." Henry said.

"Will she not take it well?" Emma asked.

"You've met my mom haven't you?" Henry said sarcastically. "Of course she won't take it well. Especially since he is one of Robin Hood's merry men." Henry said as if it was an everyday thing. He then stood up and walked away.

Emma frowned and then stood up following Henry. "Wait did you just say Robin Hood's merry men?"

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry if it seems I am taking ages with updating this but seems to take me a while to write these last few chapters. I am adding a new character in. In the name of Ellie's boyfriend. Which will soon lead to other things with Regina and perhaps a spark of love for her ;) As per love hearing what you have to say, so let me know :)
