The next morning Connor and Graham were running through the woods. Graham was determined to find the wolf from last night. They could hear a faint howling in the distance coming from a wolf. "You really think this wolf is trying to tell you something" Connor asked. Graham looked back at his friend and nodded. "Yes I do. It can't be a coincidence that I saw the same wolf from my dreams wondering around the streets last night" he said. "Are you sure it was the same wolf" Connor asked. Graham nodded. "I'm positive. It had two different colored eyes just like in my dream. Something weird is going on here and we're going to figure out what it is" he said and ran deeper into the woods. Connor sighed. Connor had to admit what happened the previous night was weird and he wanted to know what was going on in this stupid town too. Graham always looked out from him ever since they were younger and he would trust Graham with his life. Connor ran after Graham.
"Hey Graham slow down a second" Connor said. Connor caught up to Graham who had stopped running. He was staring at the bushes wide eyed. "Why did you stop" Connor asked as Graham shushed him. He continued to stare at the bushes. Connor looked over at the bushes as Mr. Gold emerged from them. "Good morning sheriff, deputy. Sorry if I startled the two of you" Mr. Gold said. "Right sorry we thought you were a wolf" Graham said. "Did I forget to shave" Mr. Gold asked. "What are you doing out here so early" Connor asked. "A spot of gardening. Yourselves" Mr. Gold asked. "Like I said we were looking for a…" Graham started to say. "A wolf" Mr. Gold finished for him. "Yea I think I'm beginning to catch on. You know to the best of my knowledge there are no wolves in Storybrooke. Not the literal kind anyway. Why are you looking" Mr. Gold asked. Connor looked at Graham. "You'll think I'm crazy" Graham said.
"Try me" Mr. Gold said. "I saw one in my dreams and then I saw one for real" Graham said. "Just a few hours ago. We both saw it" Connor said. Mr. Gold looked over at the deputy and smiled. He walked closer to the two officers. "Did you see anything unusual out there" Graham asked. Mr. Gold looked down at the shovel in his hand then back up at the two cops. "I'm afraid not" he said. He looked between the two of them. "I do wish I could be more helpful" he said walking past them. "You know they say that dreams, dreams are memories. Memories of another life" Mr. Gold said. Connor and Graham looked at the old man confused. "What do you believe" Graham asked. "I never rule out anything" Mr. Gold said. He smiled at them. "Good luck. I do hope you guys find what you're looking for" Mr. Gold said. Graham and Connor looked at each other suspicious and started to walk away. "Oh deputy if you don't mind I'd like to have a minute" Mr. Gold called out.
"Go ahead. I'll catch up" Connor said. Graham nodded and walked deeper into the woods. Connor walked over to Mr. Gold. "Mr. Gold what can I do for you" he asked. Mr. Gold looked up at the sky. "It really is a nice day out today. I would say it's quite charming" Mr. Gold and Connor became hypnotized. Mr. Gold walked over to the hypnotized deputy. "Well Prince Charming the sheriff is getting to close to figuring out about the curse. It's not time for the curse to break yet. See that he doesn't figure out about the curse. Get him off the trail. I won't let him ruin my plans" Mr. Gold said. "Yes master" Connor said robotically. Mr. Gold smiled. He liked having Prince Charming as his unknowing puppet. "Now our conversation was about security for my shop. Do you understand" Mr. Gold asked. "Yes" Connor said. Mr. Gold patted his cheek. "That's a good prince. Now run along and catch up with the sheriff" Mr. Gold said snapping his fingers. Connor came out of the trance and ran after Graham.
In the enchanted forest, Graham was following the wolf. It led him to a tavern. Graham walked in and saw it bustling with people. Graham walked over to a table and sat down. A woman brought him a drink. The wolf laid down. "There letting animals in here now. This isn't a slaughter house" a man said. "Forget him. He might as well be one too. I heard he was raised by them" another man said. "He does smell like them" the first man said. "Pathetic. I heard he cries over his kills. Can you believe that" the other man asked. The first man took a drink from the bar and drank it. He walked over to Graham. "Tell me huntsman, what kind of man cries over an animal" the man asked. "An honorable one" Graham replied. "What do you know about honor" the man asked. "I have it. They have it. You don't" Graham answered. "Animals have it" the man said. "They are pure of heart. Not selfish and self-serving like people" Graham said.
The wolf got up and growled at the man. "Tell him to stop threating me because you know what I do with pets that threaten me" the man said pulling out a sword. "I hang them on my wall" the man said. At that a fight broke out between the man and Graham. He stabbed the man in the neck and the man fell to the floor dead. "This is not a pet" Graham said as the other man charged at him with a knife. Graham threw him into the wall and he fell to the floor unconscious. Another man stepped forward and pulled out a knife. Graham picked up a piece of glass. The man thought about it for a moment than ran out of the tavern. Graham put the piece of glass on the table unaware that James and Regina were watching him through it. James smiled. "He's perfect. Bring him to us" James said. "Wait" Regina said. James turned to her. "He's a dragon hunter. He kills dragons. Are you sure it's a good idea to bring him here with you" Regina asked.
"Don't worry. I'll be OK. I'm not the dragon he's going to go after. David is" James said. Regina still wasn't sure. "Are you sure" she asked. James nodded his head. "We'll make it worth his while" he said. He turned to the guards. "Go. Bring him to us" he said. The guards bowed. "Yes your majesty" one of them said. Regina grabbed James's arm and he looked at her. "I hope your right. I can't lose you. I don't know what would happen to me if I did" Regina said. James smiled and gave her a quick kiss. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere" he said pulling her in for a hug. He meant it. He wasn't going to leave Regina in anyway ever. They were going to get there happy ending and destroy Snow and Charming's for what they did to them and this Huntsman was the first step. He knew exactly how to get the Huntsman to do what he was told. The Huntsman was going to be a valuable tool for him and Regina to use against Snow and Charming. Then they'd be one step closer to their happy ending.
