May muses 12: Dream Henry

Day 12 of May Muses! My idea for today: *6b spoilers!* What if dreamworld Henry came to Storybrooke?

Emma couldn't believe it when she saw him. He must have jumped into the portal behind her and Regina.

"Back away from my mother, witch!" He barked. Regina didn't know what to say. This wasn't Henry. She had to keep reminding herself of that. This wasn't their son. Henry brandished his sword at Regina. "I don't know what desperate realm you have brought us too, but I will find a way for my mother and I to return to the Enchanted Forest. You can keep the thief." He spat. Robin made a face mocking shock.

"Henry." Emma began, approaching him slowly. "Henry, Regina didn't bring me here under duress. He brought me here because this is the world I live in." Emma explained. She didn't want to tell him that he was only here because of a wish the Evil Queen made. That seemed too cruel. "Henry, I need to stay here. I am the Saviour for these people. I bring them their happy endings. Your destiny is different. Your destiny is to go back to the wish r- the Enchanted Forest- and rule as their king. You're the next in line after me. I am not going back. It is your duty to rule them." Emma tried to explain. Henry pulled away from her touch.

"I don't know what poison that witch has used on your mind, but I will rid you of it, mother. I will save you and we will return together to grieve gran and grandpa. We will rebuild our kingdom and she will be banished to here." Henry finished, pointing his finger at Regina. Regina sighed. There was only one way to deal with this. With a small wave of her hand, Henry fell asleep.

"Henry!" Emma called out, having not seen Regina use her magic.

"He'll be ok." Regina promised her. "He's just asleep. I'll wake him up when we have a way to send him back to his realm. Until then, he can sleep up in my house." Regina said, waving her hand. The dream Henry then disappeared. Emma rubbed her hand against her temple. This had gotten so complicated.
