Sorry for the delay. Life has gotten a bit hectic as both Claire and I reach the end of our school year. I will try to keep to the posting schedule as much as possible in the next coming weeks.

I would like to start out by wishing a happy birthday to the most wonderful best friend in the world. Happy Birthday Claire! None of this would have been possible without you! I hope your day is filled with amazing memories! You deserve it!

I wouldnow like to answer some concerns and questions from some of our readers.

First of all, we will go more into Hades and why exactly he is in Storybrooke, just wait and see how the story unfolds.

The biggest question and concern we have gotten from readers has been Kendra. In order to understand why Kendra is currently making the choices that she is all stems from her personality and life. Kendra has the combined temper of both of her parents, which makes her easy to set off in the first place. If you combine this with the stress of being in a completely unknown environment where even your own family has no clue who you are, teenage hormones, and the loss of her best friend (or what she thinks is the loss of her best friend) there is no telling what she could end up doing. Just keep reading to see how all of Kendra's new found dark magic comes into play.

Thank you again for being the best readers ever! I hope you continue to enjoy! Keep the reviews coming. We will do our best to answer any questions that you may have in the future about the story.


CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO-Storybrooke Hospital, Later That Morning

Emma rushed to the hospital as soon as she got up. She made sure she grabbed a few of Henry's favorite comic books on her way out the door, knowing that the boredom would soon be getting to him. Once she got there, she was surprised to see Killian and Regina already there in Henry's room. Regina had also brought some of Henry's favorite books, and it appeared as if Killian had brought an assortment of different flavored Jell-O varieties from Granny's.

"Heya, kid." Emma said as she bent down to kiss Henry's forehead. "How are you feeling?"

"Just fine, a bit sleepy from the pain meds, but otherwise I'm good."

"Good to hear," she said, and breathed a sigh of relief. His arm was held up in a sling, and though Doctor Whale had informed her last night that it would require surgery, Henry would be back to normal within two weeks' time at most.

"Here, Henry, try some of the Jell-O. It has magical healing abilities. I had some when I was here, and so did your father, and we both recovered with fantastic speed. It's sure to help you as well." Killian said as he handed Henry a cup full of lime gelatin.

Emma rolled her eyes. "Killian, I thought I already explained to you that it's just easy on the stomach, that's all. It doesn't have any healing properties whatsoever."

"You just keep telling yourself that, Swan."

"Well, as fascinating as this Jell-O debate is, I have to get to work." She kissed Henry's cheek, and then walked out the door, motioning for Emma to following her. Emma was confused, but followed nonetheless, leaving Killian there to interrogate Henry about Jell-O and if different flavors had different abilities.

"What is it, Regina? Did you find anything?"

Regina glanced at Henry, then back at Emma. "Well, I didn't, until this morning. I was searching through the books of magic lying around at home," Here Emma quirked an eyebrow, wondering what magical things Regina would be up to at home, but let her continue, "and finding nothing, I decided to go the vault. On my way there, I saw someone coming out of there. It was a teenage girl, definitely full of dark magic, and she then had the audacity to attack me using one of my own spells against me. And then she just teleported away, the coward. I think she might be the one who hurt our son."

Emma nodded. This seemed to make sense, but neither of the two girls who interrupted the baby shower had seemed dark. "But what about the two girls from earlier? Is this a third one?"

"I don't know, but my guess is that either this girl was part of what the other two girls were running from, or that one happened to be dark all along and has finally shown her true colors. If that's the case, then I'm worried about the safety of the second girl."

"Yeah. Should we ask Henry about this? He might be able to help us piece this all together."

Regina nodded. "I really do have to go though. I have a committee meeting to discuss the whirlpool at the harbor. It's apparently getting in the way of our fishing industry. Killian should probably come with me too. Could you be so kind as to persuade him to come along?"

"All right."

Emma walked back into Henry's room. Killian was just asking "But I had blue, and that cured me of my physical injuries, so since you also had physical injuries, you need to have the blue! But then again your father had green…"

"I already told you, it doesn't work that way. Plus, my favorite is cherry, so can you please just pass me the red Jell-O?"

"Killian, can you go with Regina to this meeting? They're going to talk about the whirlpool at the docks."

Killian smiled, kissed her cheek and said "As you wish." As he walked out the door.

"Hey Henry?" Emma said as she sat down on the edge of his hospital bed, "can you please tell me who it was that hurt you?"

Henry looked away. "I'm not sure you'd believe me…"

Emma gave him a look. "No, really!" Henry said, "This is a bit outlandish even by Storybrooke standards."

Emma deepened the look until Henry finally cracked. He sighed, then said "She's your daughter from the future, Kendra. She and Belle's daughter, Colette, came to our time to help us get out of Storybrooke from some sort impending evil curse, and then they were chased away by Grandpa and Killian. Well, then Colette went missing from the Library and Kendra went evil, and I know she didn't mean to hurt me, she's just upset about Colette. Does that make any sense? Mom?"
