Hey guys thanks for the support once more! I got a request for you guys. I want to know if I am doing a good job with making Emma act her age. I am 20 so it has been awhile since I have been 13 lol If you guys have any advise for me if I am not doing good then let me know. But please be gentle with me lol Also I just want to say that some of you have suggested I stay to my original ideas and stay away from the original story more which I am trying. But just wanted to say especially for this next chapter that sometimes the chapters might fall close to the original story but to not to worry as many will still continue to be my own ideas. It is just I feel that some scenes are better left untouched. Okay on to the chapter!

The Compass

"What..? How? She was dead! " Regina growled as she paced back and forth. Snow was standing in her living room after explaining what Charming told her. Regina faced her shaking her head." Impossible. " She said in shock. Snow sighed.

" I wished Regina but that is what Charming told me. She is gonna find anyway to get here so more of a reason to help me figure a way to get them home before her. " Snow said. Regina looked annoyed. She didn't have time for this. She didn't care. But she had to remember why she was helping her number one enemy.

"You honestly think I know how to defeat her! I tried. I thought she was died. She isn't so what does that tell you. Tell your husband he needs to be quicker than her. That's all. Find a way to immobilize her. My hands are tied. Now leave. " Regina said and Snow nodded heading out. Regina knew of only one person who could help her.

"What do you want. " Rumble growled. He was sitting at a table with Belle. He didn't look happy with her. " Go away Regina. You have done enough. "He growled.

" I think you might want to hear me out. This involves someone we both don't want to see. " She said and Rumble looked at her confused. Regina took a deep breath. " My mother. " She finished.

Back in the enchanted forest

Emma followed behind Charming until they got outside. She stopped and starred at the two horses. One was brown with a splash of white and the other was black with a splash of white. Lancelot got on the brown one so she figure the black one for them.

"Don't worry I will help you up. " Charming said. He chuckled when he seen her look shock. She would need to get used to him figuring her out. Without another word he picked her up and sat her on top. Then he climbed on behind her, wrapping his arms around her middle and grabbed the reins. With one quick motion the horse took off.

"So what are we going to do now? " Emma asked as she held on tight to the horse. Riding the horse made her a little sad as she would have grown up learning how to ride one. Maybe her father could teach her if they ever got back.

" We need to get back to the village where Lancelot is from. Once we are safe we can discuss plans. " Charming explained. Emma nodded. She figure something else would work.

" When we get back, could you teach me to ride?" She asked trying to keep their minds off the worst. Charming smiled he was touched. He gave her a quick kiss to her head.

"Of course. I want to teach you to sword fight too. You should learn it all. " He said happily. Emma didn't ask anything else. She could feel her body getting tired. Before she knew it she was leaning heavily against her father sleeping.

Back in Storybrooke

"So what do you suggest we do? " Regina asked. Her and Rumble had went back to his shop explaining to Belle it was important. Rumble was searching through his shop for what, Regina wasn't sure.

" We need to prepare for her coming through the portal instead of them. I will make up something to poison the portal so whoever comes through will die but I need your help. " Rumble explained. Regina wanted to agree but couldn't.

"No. You will have to do that alone. I promised R..Henry I would help them. If they come through -"

"If?! How can we be sure. You came to me Regina remember that. Don't worry you will come sooner. Now leave me. You have done nothing but waste my time. " He growled. Regina rolled her eyes but walked out. As she did she ran into Red.

" I see you are speaking with the dark one. Nothing I said matter. " Red said angrily. She crossed her arms. Regina sighed. She didn't need this now.

"It isn't what you think, Red. I don't if you heard but my mother is alive and trying to make her way here. We were discussing a way to stop her but his way isn't my way so I will have to figure it out on my own. Not that you care. " Regina said with a bitter tone. Red seem to soften a bit.

" I only heard stories of your mother. If she comes here how bad will it be? " She asked looking worried. She didn't want anyone to get hurt if she could help it.

" My mother's magic plans make my plans look like child play. " Regina said with bitterness. Red seem to think this over. Regina shook her head. " I know you don't trust me, Red but I am trying to do the right thing. I don't want my mother coming here to hurt Henry or you. I can't lose you guys. " Regina said.

"Your mother coming here won't change the fact that you already have Regina. I am just not sure I can ever trust you. But I want to protect Henry so if you need any help just let me know. " Red said and turned to leave. Regina would take any moment to prove her worth to Red. She gently grabbed Red's wrist. " Wait don't go... come with me to the house. I do need your help. " Regina said as she released Red. Red simply nodded and followed Regina to the house but she had to keep herself from shivering at the touch. She missed the way Regina touched her. Back in the enchanted forest

"Em wake up." Charming said he gently shook her awake. Emma blinked open her eyes and gasped. They were back at the village but it didn't look the same not at all. There was bodies of men laying on the ground, died. Charming leaped from the horse and helped Emma down. She held her hand to her mouth as she glanced around.

"What happened here?" Emma asked not sure what to say. Lancelot frowned it seem a lot of his people got away they knew where to go if trouble came but come must have stayed behind. Emma stopping looking around when she noticed a boy around her age sitting off to the side crying. " Look." She said. Her father noticed him and they walked over together.

" Hey there buddy. Are you okay? Where are your parent?" Charming asked. The boy quickly wiped his eyes not wanting these stranger seen him upset. He was at that stage where he didn't want people seeing him cry.

" I am fine. My father was killed just now. Why should you care. You come afterward. " the boy growled as he stood up. He short black hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a button up plaid shirt and tore up jeans. Charming looked at Lancelot then Emma then back at the boy.

"What is your name boy? By the looks of things these people hearts were ripped out so Cora got here how come you weren't touch. " Charming asked a bit curious.

" I am not telling you my name! I was pulled to the safe place while my dad got stuck here! " the boy yelled at Charming. Lancelot who came to stand beside the boy also figure something was off because the boy kept looking around them for something or possibly someone.

" Just curious but which one is your father. We can bury him like he should be. " Lancelot asked. What the boy didn't know was Lancelot knew all of his people and knew this boy wasn't one of them. The boy pointed to a man he knew was Jame Hutch. Lancelot shook his head. " That is James Hutch who has no kids. So how about you tell us who you really are and why you are lying?" Lancelot asked crossing his arms. The boy looked at him nervously.

"'Will you keep me safe... she is after me...My father stole from her a while back when he abandoned me and now she tried to use me to distracted you guys so she could get the compass... please I don't want die..." the boy asked. Charming frowned.

"We will keep you safe but we need a name kid. " Charming said and the boy nodded looking between the three people. He looked down at his hands as he black hair covered his face.

" My name is Killian Jones. " He said finally and looked back at them.

I want to add that yes I will have Killian in this story. If you don't like him then keep reading because I plan to change his character a lot especially since he too is thirteen. But his backstory will be similar. His growth in character and how he acts I will change. So please don't judge right away. I will put a lot of my twist into him and his story.
