Chapter 6 potion
Two months later, much had changed. Emma and Belle became closer as they shared the interest of hating Regina. Emma had become sheriff after Graham had died; little did most people not know it was due to the evil queen. Emma had given up on hope of being the mum Henry deserved and tried to leave but when Henry tried to stop her, he was cursed by eating a poisonous apple. He was rushed to hospital and even though the Gold family knew he wouldn't die, they still cared for the boy's safety. Arya and Grace went to the hospital to keep an eye on him.
Emma and Regina had formed and alliance to try and save henrys life. Emma knew everything and she remembered, when her father had to put her in the wardrobe. She and Regina were rushing around town to get to Gold's pawn shop.
When they got there, Emma kicked the door open and walked up to the counter, where Hatter and Rumple sat. When they got to the counter, Hatter said "well I think she believes".
Emma looked at them both and said "we need your help".
Rumple smiled and said "indeed you do...it seems a tragic ailment has befallen our young friend".
Hatter looked at Regina and he said "did you forget that magic comes at a price?"
"Of course I didn't but now Henry is hurt. Henry shouldn't have to pay the price for me using magic".
Rumple said "no, you should but a last here we are".
Emma had enough and said "look I don't care what you three have against each other but...can you help us?"
Hatter smiled at her courage "of course we can. We would never let a child die, especially Henry".
Emma narrowed her eyes "what is it with you guys and Henry?"
"We are the ones who told Henry about the curse. We gave him the book to help find you".
Regina's eyes widened and she said "you gave him the book?" both men nodded "how did you manage to get near him?"
Before they could answer, Belle came in from the back and said "we have children in this family remember". Belle walked over to Rumple and he put an arm around her waist. She looked at Emma and said "I'm sorry about Henry".
"Thanks but can we please get back to our other conversation".
Rumple smiled and said "ow yes. True love Miss Swan" as he said true love he stared at Belle and she smiled. "It's the most powerful magic of all. The only magic powerful enough to transcend realms and break any curse. Luckily for you, I happen to have bottled some".
Regina glared at him and said "you did".
Hatter rolled his eyes and said "he just said he did".
Rumple continued to talk "from strands of your parents DNA, I made the most powerful potion in all the realms. So powerful, that when I created the dark curse I put it in".
"That's why I'm the saviour. That's why, I can break the curse".
Hatter put his hands together and said "finally, she gets it".
Regina smirked and said "let me guess, your true love wasn't strong enough".
Rumple and Belle both gave her a death glare and he said "it would have been but we prefer not to be separated from our child".
Emma said "shut up. Listen, I don't care about breaking this damn curse, all I care about is saving Henry".
"Well it's your lucky day. I didn't use up the entire potion; I saved some for a rainy day".
"Well it's storming like a bitch. Where is it?"
Hatter shook his head and said "Emma, I don't think you should be worried about where it is. You should be worried about who it is with".
Regina rolled her eyes and said "enough riddles. Just tell us what we have to do".
Rumple looked at her and said "you do nothing. It's not your son it's hers; she is after all the product of the magic".
Emma was breathing heavily as she said "I can do it".
Although Regina didn't care for Emma, she said "don't trust him".
"What choice do we have?"
Belle knew that Emma would listen to her so she said "Emma, trust him and if you don't trust me".
"Izzy, have you had your memories all this time?"
Regina was getting tired and she said "what does it matter if she did?"
"Because if she did, then she is a good person" she turned to look at Belle and said "did you?"
"Yes, I've had them from the beginning".
"Well then I trust him. Where is this magic?"
Belle, Rumple and Hatter all smiled and Hatter said "Regina has a little friend hidden in the basement".
"You sick and twisted family. You people hid it with her".
Rumple shook his head and said "no. We hid it within her".
Emma had a confused look on he face "who is she?"
Rumple nodded to Belle and se went in the back to collect something. As she was gone Rumple said "someone you should be prepared for, Miss Swan".
Belle came back into the room with a long rectangle box. She placed it on the counter and when Rumple opened it Emma said "what the hell is that?"
Belle smiled and said "it's your father's sword". Emma grabbed the sword and with Regina they ran out of the door.
Belle smiled and said "give it an hour or two and the curse will be broken".
Rumple wrapped his arms around her and said "yes and then we will be able to find Bae" they kissed.
When they pulled apart, Hatter said "what are we going to do when the curse breaks? I don't mean find Bae. I mean about Arya?"
Belle had tears in her eyes as she remembered what happened to all the other children who were Ketsia. She looked at Rumple and said "Rumple, I can't lose her".
"We won't lose her. Hatter, you and I will go to the well and bring magic. Belle, you stay here and make sure the girls are back here, before the curse breaks". Belle nodded as Hatter and Rumple made their way out of the shop.
When the men got to the library, Regina was by the controls. Hatter snuck up behind her and hit her over the head; they tied her to the chair, when she began to come around. When she opened her eyes, she said "you two never wanted to help Henry. You just want the potion".
Rumple looked at her and said "what Jefferson was saying before was the truth; we would never let Henry die".
"Then what are you doing?"
As Hatter tied the last knot on the ropes, he said "that is none of your business". He placed some tape round her mouth just in time as they heard Emma at the bottom of the elevator.
As Hatter, worked the elevator when it was time to stop, Rumple tricked Emma into giving him the potion. When they got the potion, they walked out of the library and got into the car. As much as Regina screamed for Emma to hurry up, it was too late.
