Hi guys, here's another chapter, Enjoy!


"I'll go wake the others up." Emma said breathless as she realized something important, she looked at Regina. The brunette slightly tilted her head in question.

"There's no wind." Emma announced. "The ship isn't progressing anymore." With that Emma left Regina to her thought and went to wake the others up, Henry included. It could be something very serious, he needs to be there.

Within seven minutes every single person, and one snowman, from the group was onboard: Rumple, Neal, Tink, Snow, David, Henry and Olaf. Regina and Emma stood next to each other facing the others, together.

"As some of you might have noticed," Emma begun. She picked up on the leading skills quite well, Regina admired. "The ship is standing still."

"What have you done?" Gold asked with a sigh. Not irritated, but rather tired of the problems these heroes were starting to form on a daily basis. Before Emma could get all defensive, Regina answered for her.

"Actually, it's because of me." The former queen gathered everyone's attention back to her. She turned around and got closer to the magical barrier that was invisible and ineffective on the others, reached her finger to touch it. The magical barrier glowed blue in the dark night and she heard gasps from the group behind her.

"This, I believe, is Neverland's border." Regina revealed. "And for some reason, I cannot cross it."

David wanting to see for himself went near Regina, he tried to touch the barrier but his hand went right through it.

"I can't feel anything." He stated. Regina fought the urge to roll her eyes at him, fortunately for her, Rumple didn't seem to possess the same kind of self-control. He came to stand near David to sense the magical barrier. After a few moments of silence, Rumple seemed to pick up on something. He turned around to face the group, looking for someone, his gaze met the snowman's.

"Olaf, would you be kind to try and go through the barrier yourself?" Rumple asked to everyone's surprise.

"Sure." The snowman replied. He didn't need to be told twice and quickly, with his ever-present cheerful expression that was plastered on his face, went to the magical barrier. as Olaf tried to walk through it, he met with the same obstacle as did Regina, he couldn't pass through it.

"That's hardly prove anything we didn't know before." Regina exclaimed at Rumple's smirking face, as he found something only known to his. "I created Olaf; it was a given he wouldn't be able to pass through the barrier."

"Not so fast your majesty, it says exactly what I suspected." Rumple declared.

"Of course it does." Snow mattered. The entire group turned to look at her, surprised at her comment. Sure, they expected someone to comment on Rumple's know-it-all tone but none of them thought Snow would be the one. Rumple who didn't seem to excited about the teacher's new behavior, sent a small glare in her direction but then proceed to explain.

"To put it simple, your magic has unfinished business with this realm and until you sort them out, you won't be able to leave." Rumple tried to put it as simply as he could for everyone involved. It took another minute before anyone spoke.

"Does it mean you're staying here?" Henry asked with concern and disappointment. He'd grown to learn his past actions towards his adoptive mother were a mistake and sometimes even cruel and regretted very much.

"I'll be fine Henry; I'll sort this out and then come back home." Regina went down to his level and smiled at him. It's not like she had a choice.

"But you'll be here all alone against Hook and the Lost Boys. No offence Olaf..." Henry exclaimed and the worry wasn't lost in his voice. The snowman wasn't even listening to what was going on.

"She won't" Emma said thoughtfully. She then kneeled next to Regina to face Henry. "Because I'll go with her." Emma turned to look at Regina with a smile and before Regina or the Charmings could protest at the idea, Henry's face lit up.

"Yes mom, Emma should go with you!" Henry quickly agreed upon seeing the unsure look on his brunette mom's face. Regina turned to look back at Emma and sighed, she didn't want Emma to risk her life in anyway but knew she would insist to stay with her if it was the other way around. So she simply nodded in agreement. The three hugged together and Emma and Regina stood up.

"Can you teleport us back to Neverland?" Regina asked Rumple and he nodded in return. The Charmings still looked upset but understood none the less why Emma was choosing to stay with Regina.

While Emma talked with her parents and hugged them goodbye Regina's attention wandered back to the barrier. She suddenly, she felt the need to touch it, she got closer to it, but instead of touching it with her finger like she used to do, she slowly placed the entire palm of her hand on the barrier. It glowed too brightly for everyone to see, they had to close their eyes and in a moment the barrier broke into millions of little icy rhombuses. Having no idea what she just did, Regina took a step back in panic.

The bright light stopped and everyone looked around them, the icy rhombuses surrounding them from everywhere. They seemed to have symbols on them that both Regina and Rumple recognized.

"Fire, water, earth and air." Regina gestured on the different symbols on the rhombuses but as soon as she voiced the symbols, all of the icy rhombuses fell off from the air, some onto the ship and everything else, into the ocean. In the sky above them four vertices, each one of them was glowing brightly in a different soft color, looking star appeared for a moment and then as quickly as it appeared it was gone.

"What was THAT?" Emma asked looking around to see if everyone were okay.

"Those were the symbol of the four spirits that rule over the Enchanted Forest." Rumple informed with a frown.

"And basically every realm that possesses magic within it." Regina added knowingly.

"It seems that whatever is it that keeping you here is quite important." Rumple said thoughtfully. "You better go." Both Emma and Regina nodded in agreement, with one last goodbye to Henry and a promise from Snow and David to keep him safe, red smoke evolved around Regina, Emma and Olaf and they were teleported back to Neverland.


"That was awfully nice of him." Emma pointed on the two bags that were now on the ground near them, she checked one of them and saw it was filled with supply, water and food. Regina checked the bag that was closer to her and saw it held the same content.

"It didn't even cross my mind." Regina said apologetically.

"It's fine we would have figured it out." Emma reassured her with a smile. Regina walked closer to Emma as was Olaf, each woman put the bag on her back.

"Where are we going now?" Emma asked.

"Remember the mermaid that we had onboard?" Emma nodded. "She'd know what to do."


So we have Emma, Regina and Olaf finally going to find out what's up! Hope you liked the chapter :) Let me hear what you think or who would you like to see in the comments!
