CHAPTER ELEVEN-Storybrooke, Behind Granny's Diner

"Colette, stop." Kendra leaned against the side of the building, gasping for breath. "They stopped following us."

Colette laughed and sat on a crate next to Kendra, brushing her loose hair back. "Let's not do that again."

They heard the back door creak open and they jumped up, ready to make another run for it.

"Hello? Are you still back here?" It was a voice all too familiar to the girls, younger sounding, but most definitely recognizable.

"We need him," Kendra whispered to Colette. "Henry can show us around. We are clueless here. I trust him to keep our identities a secret, but we will have to tell him everything."

"You do it," Colette whispered.

"What?" Kendra frowned.

"You are his sister, you know him better than I do. It will be easier to understand coming from one person, and you are the best option. Meet me back at the ship, with him," Colette put her hand on Kendra's shoulder. "Good luck." Colette turned and headed back towards the docks.

"I guess they made a break for it," Henry mumbled as he turned to go back into the diner.

"Henry, wait!" Kendra stepped out of the shadows.

"Do I know you?" Henry looked over Kendra, swallowing as his eyes passed over her sword.

"Not yet, mate, but you will quite soon."

"What do you mean? Why do sound like Killian? Do you know each other? Are you related?" Henry was spurting questions off one after another.

"Slow down, mate. What I am about to tell you is going to sound bloody crazy, but I need you to listen to me. Can you do that?" Kendra pleaded.

"I think so. Crazy is normal here, so I doubt you will sound that far off," Henry smiled.

"Here goes then," Kendra took a deep breath. "I'm your sister."

"My what?" Henry looked at her in disbelief.

"My name is Kendra Jones. I am from nineteen years in the future. Emma and Killian are my parents. That in the diner is my baby shower, well mine and my twin brother's." Kendra hoped she wasn't coming off as too crazy. She desperately needed Henry's help.

"Why are you telling me this?" Henry stared at Kendra, voice wavering.

"Because I…we need you. Everyone in town needs you. There is something coming that is going to destroy the entire town and I have to send everyone back to The Enchanted Forest. The person I came with and I have next to no experience in Storybrooke and you know this town better than most. But, I can't have you telling everyone right now…not until Colette and I sort out a few more things. Can you help us, brother?" Kendra begged.

"Colette…like Belle's daughter?" Henry asked.

"Yes. Are you going to help or not?"

"Help save everyone in Storybrooke in a super-secret mission with my future sister and Colette? Of course I will!" Henry beamed. He was finally getting a chance to be a hero.

"Really?" Kendra smiled.

"A super-secret mission like this needs a codename though," Henry grinned.

"Mate, I was hoping you would say that," Kendra smirked.

"How about Operation Jaguar?"

"You've actually already used that one…long story."

"Okay, what about Operation Swan? I'd say it's fitting." Henry looked at Kendra expectantly.

"More fitting than you realize, once you see my ship. Not to mention it's actually my middle name. Father picked it out." Kendra was still trying to take everything about her brother's younger self. He was very much the same, his caring eyes, enthusiasm, how he believed in her. Kendra couldn't help but smile thinking about how far he had come in nineteen years.

"You have a ship, and it's here in Storybrooke?"

"Aye. Now, I can tell you more on the way to it." Kendra turned and started walking towards the sidewalk.

"Wait! My…our mom will get suspicious if I just leave the shower. Why don't you come in?" Henry gestured towards the door.

"I wish I could, but I can't like this. We already had a run in with my father and grandfather, not a pleasant one by any means either. Colette's waiting for us at the ship, but she told me not to meet her there until you come with me. So, please don't freak out." Kendra waved her hand over herself, changing her appearance to make her look both different and younger, more like someone Henry would attend school with. She had darkened her hair, and dulled the distinguishable color of her eyes, as well as dressing herself in a grey sweater and jeans. She still had the sword secured on her, she dared not to part with it, even for a second.

"Whoa, you have magic?" Henry's eyes were wide.

"How else would I have gotten here? Both Colette and I have magic. She can do all sorts of nature type magic, creating storms for example, and I, well, I can control time and space. I can travel between realms, teleport, and time travel. Now, to get down to business, my codename for Operation Swan is Madison, Madison…Smith. I am just one of your classmates, got it mate?" Kendra raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah, I got it. Do you know you do that whole eyebrow thing Killian does when you talk?" Henry chuckled. "Also, are you going to keep your weapon on you?"

"Aye, I do a lot like my father, and the sword stays. Now let's get in there." Kendra opened the door and gestured her brother inside.
