Robin hadn't slept a wink since his encounter with Cora, he had no idea how much time had passed or even where she was keeping him, but he was anxious to get out of the cell and back to his life, controlled or not, he needed to see his son.

He shuddered when he saw a fireball just appear in the hand of none other than his captor. He had no clue how long she had been there, but now that he knew she was he yelled, "Where am I?" anger bubbling up inside of him.

"Don't worry, child. You are not far from where you wish to be." she chided with a devious smile.

"What the hell does that mean?" Robin snarled.

She laughed at his confusion as well as at her brilliance, "You never left." She walked closer to the bars before saying, "You are still in Snow and Charming's castle." With a wink, she turned to leave.

"Wait!" he shouted not ready for her to leave again, "That's not possible, they would have noticed by now."

She spun back around, "You really think they patrol the dungeons when they think no one is here?" throwing her head back with a chuckle, "They never use these dungeons anyway, they don't believe in it unless it's someone quite bad. Don't you worry your pretty little head, you will be free soon, when they are in enough of a frenzy." As soon as she finished she disappeared leaving him alone again.

"I'm still in the castle..." he thought, "How could I be so close, yet feel so far, from everything I love and cherish." Everyone was going on with their lives only floors above him and they didn't even know it.

He drifted off to sleep then, a little more at ease for having some of his questions answered.
