Will It be Too Late

"Snow!" Charming yelled as soon as he woke up in the dream world. He hoping with all his soul she was asleep at this time. He pushed through the flames and finally managed to see her. She was also looking for him.

"Charming?" She questioned and ran toward him. She smiled at him gently but could tell something was off about him. She touched his shoulder. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"It's Emma. Lancelot well first thing first is he is alive. But long story anyways. He cut Emma's cheek by mistake. I will explain later. But she is injured bad and also knocked out since she hit her head on the ground. I am so worry for her Snow. We need a way to stop Cora so we can make it through the portal to there. We found a way. Do you have any ideas?" He asked after explaining what happened. Snow looked like she would burst into tears any second.

"Emma... my poor baby.." She said hugging her arms tightly to her chest. She had to stay strong though for Emma. She took a deep breath in. " Charming remember the squid ink we used to paralyzed Rumble, there might be some still left there. Find it and use it on her. Get our daughter back. " She said just in time as she realized she was waking up. " I love you Charming." She said and was gone.

" I love you too Snow. " He whispered as she left and then he too started to wake. He rose up quickly and looked around. He seen Lancelot holding Emma. Which only told him she still hadn't woke up.

"Ja- I mean David. You're awake good did you figure out what we need. " Lancelot asked as he handed Emma to him. Charming winced as he looked at her pale body in his arms. She lost too much blood and the cut looked worst. He held her tight to his chest as he managed to climb on his horse.

" We must go to Rumpelstiltskin's cell where there is ink that can paralyze Cora long enough for us to over power her. " was all he said before taking off as fast as he could on the horse. Just fast as he was when he raced to Snow to break her curse.

Back in Storybrooke

"Mom?" Henry called out. He walked in the small room that Red lived in as he hadn't spoke to her in a while. She hadn't answer his calls and he was beginning to worry. He stopped in his tracks when he seen her curled in a ball on the sofa and heard soft sniffles coming from her. He walked over and sat down. It was then she finally looked up with puffy red eyes.

" Oh my pup... I am sorry I didn't mean for you to see me like this. I am fine though. Nothing to worry about. " She said as she opened herself up and opened her arms as s sign she wanted a hug. Henry fell right into her arms and hugged her as tight as he could. Strange enough him and Red bonded quickly as mother and son. He felt he had already been closed to Red before the curse that knowing the truth just pushed him even closer to her.

" I know you aren't fine. " He finally said pulling back. He looked at her with soft sad eyes. Red wiped her eyes and try to smile at him. But he knew better. " What is wrong, mom?" He asked with a serious tone. She hugged her knees to her chest and frowned.

" I am just upset with everything going on. I missed thirteen years of your life because of Regina. I am just so angry and hurt. It is just taking me time to get over it. I am glad though you don't me or anything and grown real close to me. " She said but Henry knew she was keeping something else. He knew it was about his other mom.

" For one I could never hate you. You really had no choice. You couldn't stop what happened. But you are here now and I am still young. But I know you are also upset about how close you were to my other mom. I don't exactly understand those kinds of things but I knew you care for her before the curse and now you are confused. " He said and at that she busted into tears. He decided it was best to just be quiet ad hug her. So that was what he did and they spent a while just holding each other.

Meanwhile...

"Snow, please open up." Regina begged at Snow's loft door. Snow finally came to the door to crack it open. She crossed her arms not in the mood for anything else." Look I am not here to discuss your best friend. I already told her what I had to say. I am here because Rumble is planning to make the portal where whoever comes through there will die. If you want your husband and daughter to stay alive. I suggest you come with me. " Regina said.

"Just know Regina helping me doesn't prove anything. I want you to stay away from Red. You caused to much pain already. Now let's go. " She said and grabbed her coat. No one will stop her from seeing her husband and daughter again.

Back in the Enchanted forest

" Can't believe I am back here. The last time we came here, Rumble said we wouldn't see our daughter for 28 years. Which still makes me wonder since we got her back at 13. I guess even Rumble can't clearly predict the future. " Charming as he walked with Emma in his arms to the cell. He glanced at Lancelot to make sure he was still there. Then he walked into the cell looking for any sight of the ink.

" Is this it?" Lancelot asked after they searched for over 30 minutes. Charming turned to see the black vial of ink in Lancelot's hand. Charming grabbed it and cheered as it seem they would finally win. That was when he heard the cell gates drop. He noticed where Lancelot pulled the bottle from and realize it was a trap. Charming sighed. " Great now how do we get out. " He mumbled.

"Well it could be as easy as you taking me along with you to your land. " a voice came from the dark. Suddenly the outline of Killian came from the darkness. Charming slammed against the cell. He narrowed his eyes.

"You! You betrayed us!" he growled. Killian wasn't paying attention he was looking at Emma with a frown. Killian sighed. He really didn't want to fight. He was just a boy after all and just wanted to get away from this land. He never hear and he thought he made the right decision siding with Cora.

" I am so sorry.. I should have listen to you. After I handed her the compass she left me. She said I betrayed her too. I just didn't what to do.. who to trust.. I lost so much. I just want to escaped from here. I realize one thing though. You are the good guys. And even though I did betray you, you wouldn't leave me because that is what villains do. At least that is what I was hoping... I really am sorry. " Killian said.

" I understand how you were feeling. I know it wasn't easy trusting us. That doesn't change the fact that Cora still has the compass. We have a plan to get it back so if you could help us and this time trust us then you can come with us. You're right heros don't leave anyone behind especially not thirteen year old boys who haven't anyone to guide them. " He said.

"Then I will do as I said and help you. I want to be one the good guys too. I want a fresh start and I can see I can get that if I go with you guys. " He said and opened the cell. Charming walked out with Lancelot. Killian looked at Emma with a frowned. " She will be okay lad. We just need to get her home. " Charming said reading his thoughts. Killian nodded as they walked out.

" Cora is going to that lake. She might be there. I suggest we let her restore the lake and create the portal before we do the plan. " He said and Charming nodded. He patted Killian's shoulder before they all got on the horses. Charming took a deep breath. He just hope they had enough of time.

Back in Storybrooke

" Regina what exactly are we gonna do?" Snow asked. Regina and Snow were now at the well where Rumble would be soon. Snow looked at Regina who seem annoyed.

" Well it's simple you are gonna distracted Rumble long enough for me to throw this potion in. And no we can't do it now. This potion only works when it is in contact with another. It can destroy any potion but every potion is different. " She explained and Snow frowned.

"How do you expect me to distract him? " She asked confused. Regina pulled out something behind her back. Snow gasped. It was her bow and arrow. She snatched it from Regina.

" I got it from his shop. You think you can do this? "Regina asked.

" I was born to use a bow and arrow. I will do anything to get my family back. " Snow as she prepared for Rumble to show up

In the Enchanted forest

"There she is." Killian said as they stopped the horses. She wasn't far from them. Her back was turned as she began to restore the portal. She seem to have already thrown the wardrobe powder in to make the portal. That was when Charming ran forward with a sword to distract her while Killian came from the other side with the ink. Lancelot had Emma.

"You aren't going anywhere!" Charming yelled as Cora turned. She was prepared and tossed the sword out his hand. But it was too late Killian threw the ink on her and she couldn't move. Charming smirked as he took the compass from her. " Have fun staying here. Maybe Lancelot won't be too mean. " He said before walking by Killian giving him a nod. " It is time to get back before it is too late. " He said. Without a second thought he and Killian jumped through the portal.
