Shocking news

Regina saw by the caller idea it was her mother and in a cheerful tone said, "So the camping didn't kill you?"

"Hardly, but…" she stopped wondering how the best way of breaking the news to her daughter was.

"Everything went fine right?" Regina felt an alarm go off in her head.

"It did, we dropped him off at the stable and watched him ride off, only he never made it back, only his horse, we have looked everywhere, high and low. He is nowhere to be found," said Cora with a heavy sigh.

"So what you are saying is that you have managed to lose my son?" Regina's voice was shivering. She knew she should have never left.

"I am sorry, sweetheart, we will form a search team," said Cora, feeling horrible about it all.

"I knew I should never have left, I knew something was bound to go wrong, I…" Regina could feel her tears welling up and Emma took over the phone saying, "What do you know?"

"His horse is here unharmed, and we have searched almost every inch of the forest, it must have been someone be trusted," said Cora from the top of her head.

"Or someone bearing a grudge against either of us," said Emma with heavy sigh. In Regina and Cora's case that could be anyone really.

"Yes because that is like a million," said Cora with a heavy sigh.

"You could have taken less hearts I am sure," said Emma honestly.

"So you are saying this is my fault, it is your son," Cora hissed.

"It doesn't help if we turn on each other, just try to think about something, ask around town or something, we will be there as soon as possible," said Emma and hung up.

Tears were running down Cora's cheeks now, she knew Emma right, so with a heavy sigh she said, "We need to spread to cover most ground, Snow go to Neal and have him help search the town, and have Rumple help out, Charming you and I will search the forest once more."

She nodded and left for the car, while they took horses and again headed into the forest.


A surprised Neal opened the door for Snow, saying, "What is going on?"

"Someone took Henry from the stables and we need your help finding him," said Snow honestly.

"What?" his eyes widened, looking at her in pure shook.

"I know, but we should be out there looking, Cora ad Charming are at the stables, and Cora, Emma and Regina is trying to figure out who holds enough grudge to take him," said Snow.

"We need to get to dad, have Cora call Red and have her sniff through the forest," said Neal, grabbing his coat. He called Emma saying, "I have a bad feeling."

"No shit, Neal," she almost spat at him, texting Cora to do that.

"If I am right, he will not even be in Storybrooke, I need to talk to father first," he said with a heavy sigh.

"What are you saying, we three and your father are the only ones except Henry that can leave the town without any problems," said Emma, wondering where he was going.

"You are wrong, I will call you later," he said and hug up, getting on his bike, Snow on the back, holding around his waist, leaning on him. She prayed to God this would not have her killed, and she hated to admit her heart was beating for all the wrong reasons holding on to him like this.


It didn't take then long to get there; still Snow couldn't help the rush going through her body. In fact she enjoyed it so much that she considered asking Charming to get one, she suddenly understood why Emma and Regina liked it. Both walked into Mister. Gold's Pawnshop and Neal called, "Dad, are you in here?"

The old man came out from the backroom, looking at his son, asking, "Bae, what is the matter?"

"Someone kidnapped Henry, we need your help to track him down," said Neal with a heavy sigh. He really hated to go to the step of asking his father to use magic, but right now he saw no other choice.
Snow watched Rumple's face whiten with fear for the first time. He nodded and said, "Any suspects?

"Hook!" said Neal without as much as a doubt, making the other two gasp.

"Why would he..."?" Snow stopped, now getting what Neal meant by leaving Storybrooke without using a car. His ship of course, he would go wherever he was going by sea.

"I would never dare to say this in front of Cora, but I am sure she had her way with him those twenty-eight years they were stuck together. I am also sure Regina has went further with when she persuaded him to get her mother, only to trick him. And Emma tricked him concerning the beans. We know he hates dag and I disappointed him, making him give me to the lost boys. It would only make sense if he took Henry to punish us all," Neal finished.

"Cora and Hook, that is just wrong," it slipped from Snow's red lips, her stomach even turned from the thought of that.

"Why do you find that wrong that a younger man would want her, dearie? Spite her age I am still sure she is a tiger in bed," said Rumple.

"I am sure you are right, and that she still is...that, I simply thought he was beneath her standards," said Snow in a sharp tone.

"Lust is lust, dearie, wouldn't you say?" Rumple challenged her, making her face turn red.

"Hold it, you did the old nasty with the old witch, when and does Regina even know?" asked Neal shocked. One thing was that his father was in fact Regina's father and they had done it in their younger days, another thing was Snow. He couldn't even picture it.

"Of course she doesn't, and I do not care to go into the details of what might have been. This was long before David James, he doesn't know, and I prefer to leave him in the dark about that. Can we please stick to the topic?" said Snow rolling her dark eyes.

"You of course know that if she ever finds out, I don't even want to think of what she can do and if your husband found out I am sure he would leave you," said Rumpelstiltskin.

"I don't even see how debating this will help us find Henry, and I swear if either of you tell either of them I swear to God you will pay," she snapped.

"Alright, no needs to start another war, so son, are you sure about this?" said Rumple again turning to his son.

"Almost, but you can track his ship or Henry to be sure?" said Neal, looking at his father. The older man nodded, finding a globe, letting his finger get a sting from the pointy end at the top, his blood dripping onto the black globe, making patters and lands as it went. He swallowed when the truth became clear for him.

"Where is he taking him?" asked Snow, seeing his eyes.

"To Neverland if they get there we'll never get him back," said Rumple.

"Then we need to stop them and fast," said Snow, making the other two roll their eyes.

"We need a ship, Cora, Charming, Regina and Emma, and then we may have a shoot," said Rumple honestly.

"I can have a ship ready, but his mothers will still need to get here," said Neal, just as the door blew open and Emma and Regina ran inside. He looked at them surprised; they shouldn't have been there for hours yet. Magic he concluded. A short breathed Regina asked, "What do we know?"

"Hook has taken him on his ship to Neverland, we need to go after and fast," Neal summed up, making Emma swallow, she knew this was not a good thing.

"Well someone get Charming and mom and met us at the docs in twenty, I can fix a ship," said Regina.

"You have a ship?" said Emma surprised.

"Leave it to me," she said and ran out. The others started on gathering the troops and find what they needed for the journey.


On a ship am hour outside Storybrooke Henry was tied under deck. He should have never listened to Hook when he said he needed help with something on the ship. He had followed him only to drugged, tied and put there. God how stupid could you get. He sighed calling out for him and Hook appeared, saying, "What?!"

"Just so you know you won't get away with this, not only is my mothers coming after me both of them, but so is my grandparents you don't stand a chance."

"Oh my young lad, they will never reach you in time, you will never see them again," said Hook and went back up.

Henry wasn't scared very often, but the thought of never seeing his mothers again got to him, and silent tears fell from his eyes. He closed his eyes hoping that if he thought hard enough he could send a message to one of them, in his silent mind he thought only one thing, 'Mommy, please save me, I am scared.'

Curling up as best as it let itself do he pictured his family, hoping Hook was wrong and he would see them again.


As Regina sat foot on the ship, she felt something; she knew it was Henry that her little boy was not alright in any way. She felt it with every fiber of her being. It was like she could hear him calling for her, he was scared, and he was bound and alone. A tear ran down her cheek as she thought, 'Don't worry Henry, we are coming for you, mommy is on the way,' hoping he could hear her as she could hear him.

Emma seeing Regina's face hugged her tight, whispering, "We will find him." Charming untied the ship and Neal was at the rudder steering her in the right direction. There was no way Hook would ever get as far as Neverland with their son. His eyes going to his mothers with a great deal of sympathy knowing both were equally worried and that they had to find him fast.
