Sooooo... I want to start with apologizing. This chapter was due about 4 days ago, and I failed to deliver. I am very, so very sorry for this. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, R&R, I don't own Once.
For starters, Henry was bored. When the man who used to have your job possess your body, takes his job back, sends your family to an alternate dimension, and locks your consciousness in the very deepest darkest corners of your mind, what are you supposed to do? He probably would've gone mad by now if it weren't for the one voice in his head who actually supported him. He had yet to find out who this voice was and therefore was not the keen person in the world to trust it at first. But since he had no other options he figured, 'hey, what do I have to lose?' And that was how he and that voice gained temporary control, how they managed the get the thirteen year old out of his own body which Isaac had aged and taken, and how they managed to send both their minds to the alternate world where they might be able to find those who remembered.
The former cell of Rumple
"Gold! What the heck is going on here!" Emma shouted from behind the bars as their former occupant just looked at her.
"Well, dearie, I do believe the Author did some writing." He replied. Ever so giddy at the change in situation.
"The Author is dead."
"Did I forget to tell you? Oh well. You see, your son, my grandson, is the Author now."
"Where is he? Where's Henry? If Henry is the Author then why am I in a jail cell, more specifically, your jail cell?"
"Well, Henry is…" Rumplestiltskin pondered for a moment. He had new memories, that was clear, but he had his old ones too. But throughout all of his memories he did not find one trace of where Henry had gone. Then a thought came to him. "No… I… Ugh I should have known!"
"Known what? What did you do?"
"Henry had been acting weird ever since he picked up the quill, I thought it was just me, but it makes sense now. He didn't want to bond with me. He wanted to take advantage of me."
"Alright Gold, tell me the truth. What happened to Henry? I want the full story, it's not like I have anything better to do with my time."
"As you know, I killed Isaac, the former Author. What you, and I until just now, didn't realise is that Isaac had an insurance policy for himself. He wrote in an ability for him to possess the next Author, whoever it ended up being which just so happened to be our dear Henry."
"So my son is possessed by an Author who just won't die. Alright, I need to get out of here and find Henry."
"We need to go find Henry."
"We?"
"No one messes with my family and gets away with it. Especially my grandson." And with that he flicked his hand and the bars surrounding Emma disappeared. "Now, are you coming?" And with that he started to walk towards the stairs as Emma reluctantly followed.
