Chapter 26: Mia
David dragged me, kicking and screaming towards the town line.
"NO!" I said. "Please, don't kill him!"
"He killed the Blue Fairy!" Emma said.
"Belle, please," I begged, looking at her. "Please. What if this was Rumplestilskin? Would you let the love of your life die?"
Belle shook her head. "This is different."
"No it isn't!" I shouted, still struggling. "Please… He is your family. He is Rumple's brother."
"We know," Neal snarled.
"Please Belle…" I sobbed. "Please help me."
Belle looked at Rumple. Then at me. Then back to Rumple.
"I trust Rumple's decision." She said.
"Neal, Hook," a very weak looking David said. "Please help me."
Hook looked at me, then looked away. Neal wasn't so nice and grabbed my arm and covered my mouth.
Emma crossed the town line and pointed a very small gun at nothing. Rumple opened the box, and out came Peter.
I struggled harder. She was not going to kill him.
"Mom?" He said.
"WHAT?" Emma said.
"Shoot him." Rumple said.
"No! Please!" Peter said. "Pan, he switched bodies. I'm Henry!"
"Shoot him!" Rumple said again. "If he crosses the town line, we are all dead."
Something in my mind clicked. Holding my hand, the smirk, spending time with Felix.
That wasn't Henry. That was Peter.
I bit Neal's hand, hard, then, using all the strength I had left, got out of their grasp. I ran in front of Henry/Peter.
"It's Henry!" I said trying to stare Emma down.
"Yes!" Henry/Peter said.
"If you really are Henry," Emma said. Hook grabbed me and pulled me back. "Then prove it. Tell me something only Henry would know."
"I got trapped in the mines." Henry said. "I like hot cocoa with cinnamon."
"Henry could have told Pan all of those things." Emma said. "Tell me the moment we have first connected. Not met, but connected. You know it?"
Henry smiled. "Yes."
"Where was it?"
"It was at my castle. I told you I knew why you gave me up."
"Why?" Emma asked.
"Because you wanted to give me my best chance." Henry said.
Emma dropped the gun. "Henry!"
"Mom," Henry ran into her arms.
Hook dropped me in shock.
Emma and Henry broke apart. I resisted the urge to run to him. I have to remember that he is Henry, not Peter.
"I'm sorry for not believing you Henry," Rumple said. "And I'm sorry for putting you in that box in the first place."
"It's okay." Henry said, his smile fading.
"What's wrong, kid?" Neal asked.
"You were really going to make Mia watch him die?" Henry asked, looking at Neal, then his grandparents, then to me.
"Not right now," I said, resisting yet another urge.
"Wait a sec," David said. We all looked at him.
"If Henry is here, where is Pan?"
