Henry rode through the forest on the black horse he had stolen. The sound of dark knights behind him he had to get away, ride like the wind! An arrow whizzed past his ear
"Help!" Henry screamed hopping someone would hear him; suddenly soldiers wearing his Grandparent's crest appeared
"Prince Henry!" One called Henry rushed to them a whole army waited behind them
"Someone take him back to the palace!" Someone yelled
"I'll take him!" Red said breaking formation and galloping up beside Henry's horse
"Come on kid!" Red yelled it was midnight when Red and Henry arrived back at the palace
"Henry!" Snow cried as her and James rushed out to meet them
"Grandma! Grandpa!" Henry cried as Snow grabbed him off his horse in a hug.
"I'm heading back," Red said
"Red it's late stay here and rest." Snow said Red shook her head
"As tempting as that is I have men waiting for me." Red said riding away her red hood snapping behind her like a flag. Snow set Henry on the ground and hurried to get some hot chocolate with cinnamon for the three of them.
"How'd you get away?" James asked as he shepherded his grandson inside, Henry swallowed a lump in his throat, he blinked back tears
"Henry?" James asked concerned
"She made me leave her," he whimpered before starting his tale.
"Henry you have to go!" Emma cried frantically
"What? Emma no!" Henry cried he couldn't leave her there, not with Regina!
"Henry go, run and don't stop until you reach home," Emma urged
"No! Emma I won't leave you!" Henry cried tears starting to fall
"You have to, after dinner sneak out to the stables, steal a horse and ride, ride like the wind!" Emma said urgently
"No Emma please!" Henry sobbed tears flowing down his face now
"Don't make me leave you!" Tears started to flow down Emma's face as well
"Go, we'll be together again soon I promise. But right now you need to promise me you'll run." Emma said
"I- I promise!" Henry sobbed after he and Emma sat crying in each other's arms for a while Henry went up to dinner he ate quickly as he always did and excused himself he quickly snuck out to the stables without problem. Tacked a horse and rushed the gate to the palace that was when the dark knights chased after him.
"She made me leave her" he whimpered again tears in his eyes James wrapped his arms around his grandson lovingly squeezing the boy tightly
"We'll save her buddy I promise." He vowed as Henry broke down and cried.
Meanwhile, Regina fumed angrily he was gone probably back to Snow White no doubt he was telling Snow and her precious Charming how "horrible" she had been to him, that brat didn't know the meaning of the word! She'd given him food! A room! Anything his heart desired! Hell she could have thrown him in the dungeon if she wanted! Regina sighed no she couldn't, she loved Henry she could never hurt him she knew the army was outside, she knew she was ill prepared, and she knew unless she fought all her hard work would be for nothing and she'd be lucky to be alive come morning. Regina wondered but for a moment if she had been right in blaming Snow for Daniel's death... Of coarse she had! It was Snow's fault he was dead! She had told her mother! Snow had put all of this into motion! Regina smiled evilly and if she played her cards right it would all end today. Regina walked out onto a balcony over looking the battlefield now the real battle would begin.
There you go! please reveiw!
