Enchanted Forest.

"We meet again." Rumplestiltskin said to Henry popping up behind him.

"Yes, I have something to ask of you."

"Of course you do. Why else would anyone call me for help?" He gloated.

"It's Regina. I am afraid she is out of control."

"Not out of control, maybe just controlled" He laughed.

"Yes, by the magic you taught her to use. The child that is staying here. I know she is my granddaughter."

"Your granddaughter? Did Regina have a child?" He toyed, but he could tell Henry was in no mood.

"She has rejected Regina due to her ways. I know that she will never accept Regina and I am afraid for her life."

"I'm not a mediator, Perhaps you are in need a more suitable reference. I know a certain cricket that may help you."

Henry knew exactly what he wanted. It was time to be persistent."No, I want Regina to forget again. Forget that Gem is her child." He had no time for games.

"Yes, yes, of course. I do have a spell for your situation."

"Name the price."

"Well dearie, it will be just as before. When the time comes Regina will remember that she has a child, blah blah blah. However the child will never remember anything of her past."

"What does that mean?"

"It means, your family will be apart forever."

"As long as my granddaughter is safe."

"Do you have that item with you? The one I told you to capture the memory in so long ago?"

"You mean this?" Henry pulled the journal from under his jacket and gave it to Rumplestiltskin.

"Ah yes" he smiled. "Don't fret, after Regina and her daughter drink the potion. They will soon forget each other."

"And when the time is right you will restore their memories?"

"I can't simply restore the memories, however they will be reunited once again."

Regina unlocked the door to Gems chambers holding her belt to the side. "Your majesty" Hook came from behind her. "Captain." Regina smiled "I'm surprised to see you are still here. I thought you would be long gone by now."

"I had some unfinished business."

"Then go finish it, somewhere else." She spat. "I have some business I need to take care of myself." Before Regina opened the door Hook grabbed the belt away from her. "Just give her a break." He said quietly. Regina snatched the belt back away from him. "Do you have a soft spot pirate?" Hook didn't answer. "Very well." Regina opened Gems door and gestured him inside. "This miscreant needs to learn where her home is. She broke into my castle, stole from me, and then lied. She must be punished for running away. Something I am growing tired of quickly. I may just have her killed instead."

"No. Please don't I promise I'll be better I promise I'll be good." Gem stood up begging. Regina motioned Gem to come forward. Then handed hook the belt. "Take care of this captain. I will return shortly"
"Please don't."
"I won't" he laid the belt down. "I'm going to help you escape."

"You are? How? She has her guards watching every move I make. There are no other ways out."

"There are other ways. How do you think I got into the castle? Besides, now that the Queen trusts me. I can go anywhere. " He smiled holding his hook up. "Follow me, and stay close." He said opening the door. Gem knew what would happen if Regina caught her running away again. She followed him anyway. She trailed close behind him as he led her down the hall towards some stairs. Hook heard guards coming down the hall. He stopped and pulled Gem into a corner.

When the guards passed they raced across down another hall. Hook stopped when they reached a door. "Here is where we will part ways. I don't expect it to be a long wait before Regina realizes you are gone." He opened the door and then picked Gem up placing her in the back of a wagon. "Hide under the blankets. Then when you can run. Run far away and never return." He said covering her with a blanket. Gem reached her hand out before she covered her head. "Thank you." Hook nodded then walked around to the driver. He pulled out a small bag filled with gold. "Don't stop until after you reach the first village." The diver took the bag. Then slapped the reins on his horses back "Yah" he called moving the horses forward quickly.

"Good Luck." Hook said to himself then walked back into the door.
