A/N: Thank you for your support. You guys never fail to bring a smile to my face.
Henry and the girls arrived at the docks. He immediately noticed Mrs. Blossom was taking the hearts of the girls. "She's taking away our free will," Luna said. "With an army of magic users, Storybrook doesn't stand a chance."
"Hopefully they take our message seriously and evacuate the town in time," Henry said. Mrs. Blossom then walked up to the teens. She ripped out their hearts. When she was about to take out Henry, her hand was zapped. He then remembered that spell Regina out on his heart all those years ago.
"Clever boy," Mrs. Blossom hissed. "We depart in five minutes so go collect your items."
Mrs. Blossom then left the teens alone. "Guys, you'll never guess what I was able to sneak into my backpack," Luna whispered. She opened her backpack and inside was the orb of dreams. "I feel like this could be helpful."
"Smart thinking," Henry said. The teens then boarded the ship.
That night, Henry couldn't sleep. He had been on a boat before, but he couldn't sleep due to the sense of dread building up in him. He laid there, hoping their message would be enough. The sounds of his classmate's snoring also made falling asleep hard.
"Can't sleep either?" a voice asked him. He turned around and saw Persephone looking at him. "Yeah, the thought of murdering a town makes me feel very uneasy too."
"You'd have to be a sociopath for that not to bother you," Henry said.
"This has to be hard for you," she said. "I mean, they're talking about killing your family and destroying your home."
"Yeah," Henry said.
"Also the fact that you're never going home," Persephone said.
"It is," Henry sighed. "But if I can protect the people I love, then I'm ok with that."
"Sorry for bringing it back up," Persephone said.
"It's ok," Henry said. "I know leaving home was hard for everyone here, especially because of how sudden it was."
"Yeah," she said. "I left behind my boyfriend. He's probably moved on by now. I hope he was, he was a total catch."
"I'm sorry to hear about that," Persephone said. "Did you have anyone special in Storybrook?"
"No," Henry said. "I didn't even have that many friends. I was too busy going on adventures so I was mostly homeschooled."
"Did you ever even go to a school dance?" Persephone asked.
"No," Henry said. "I was going to go to one a few years ago. I had an outfit picked out and everything, but then I was kidnapped to Neverland."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Persephone said, in a sympathetic tone.
"It's ok, I heard the dance was lame," Henry said. "I heard Ms. Evernever threw up into the cheese dip and the teachers did a cringy dance to Dark Horse."
Persophone let out a short laugh. "That does sound very lame," she said. "I think school dances are lame. I went to my spring formal a year before I was taken, and it was almost as lame as that."
"If we do get to go to Storybrook, we can not go to a school dance together," Henry said. "Or go and make fun of it."
"That sounds awesome," she said. "We should quiet down so Mrs. Blossom doesn't hear us."
"Good idea," Henrys said. They both laid down on their backs. Henry eventually managed to drift off into a peaceful slumber.
That mourning, everyone was called to the main deck. "We are here," Mrs. Blossom said. "Everyone get into position."
They looked into the horizon and saw nothing. "It worked," Luna whispered to her friends. "They must have put an invisibility spell over the town."
"That's good," Henry said.
"I guess we got the wrong cornets," Mrs. Blossom said. "We will continue searching until we reach Storybrook."
The boat then started going in the opposite direction. Henry looked at his home for a final time before it became to far for him to see. He sighed and thinks of the future.
