Chapter 16

"Room, now." David told Hanna as soon as they walked in the door.

"Dad, I'm sorry…"

"I don't want to hear it."

"What was I suppose to do? Let Henry go off by himself?"

"You know exactly what the right thing to do was," David said, and he was right. Hanna knew her other option would have been to tell him about Henry's plan to blow up the well and not actually try to go through with it, but that option didn't occur to her then. All she wanted to do was help Henry.

"But dad…"

"Do you not realize how worried I was?" David shouted as he shook Hanna by the shoulders. "What is it going to take for you to understand? Do I need to use a different kind of punishment? I don't want to go there Hanna, but I will." David warned, still holding onto his daughter, looking her directly in the eyes.

Hanna's eyes widened at her father's threat. He wouldn't really do that to her would he? She really didn't want to find out. "No, I'll listen." Hanna promised as she struggled against his grasp. "Just let me go," David loosened his grip and Hanna ran up the stairs and into her room. David sighed in frustration. He didn't know what he was going to do with her.

Hanna slammed the door and went to sit on her bed. After the incident at the well, Hanna had wanted to go with Emma and Henry to pick up dinner at Granny's, but David said she needed to come home with him. The whole ride home she had to endure his lecture about her sneaking out of the house again. He told her she was in big trouble and he didn't know when or if she would ever be ungrounded. And now he was threatening to take his punishment on step further. Hanna didn't like the thought of that.

When Emma and Henry came back with the food, Hanna refused to come downstairs. She didn't want to see her dad. She was too mad at him. She would rather sit upstairs and be hungry. After a few hours, she couldn't take it anymore. She needed something to eat. She went downstairs, hoping her dad had gone to bed by now. Lucky for her, when she got down there only Emma and Henry were still up. Henry was sitting on the couch reading a book, while Emma sat in the chair flipping through the channels on the TV.

"Is there any food left?" Hanna asked Emma.

"Oh, so now you decide you want to eat?" Emma asked jokingly.

"Yeah," Hanna replied with a shrug of her shoulders

"We saved you some left overs. Come on, let's get you some," Emma said as she got up from the chair and led Hanna into the kitchen. "Think you can get Henry to watch a movie with us?" Emma asked Hanna as they waited for her food to heat up. "I asked him already, but he said no. He's still pretty mad at me," Hanna could tell it really hurt Emma that Henry was still mad at her because she had lied about his dad. She wanted to help in any way she could.

"Yeah I'll give it a shot," Hanna said as she went over to Henry and sat next to him on the couch.

"Henry, will you watch a movie with us? Please!" she asked.

Henry took his eyes off of his book and looked up at Hanna. "I thought you were grounded?" he asked with a raise of his eyebrows.

"Shhh," Hanna whispered as she nudged him with her shoulder. "Emma doesn't know that." Emma just thought Hanna was sent to her room for sneaking out today. She had no idea that she had been grounded while they were in New York. "Come on, Henry," Hanna pleaded.

"Fine, but don't complain to me when you get into more trouble for watching TV," Henry teased.

"They're sleeping," Hanna said as she glanced over to where her parents were. "They'll never know. If they hear the TV they'll just think it's you and Emma. As far as they know, I'm still upstairs."

"Whatever you say," Henry said with a shrug of his shoulders. His grandparents were no dummies. They were going to find out what Hanna was up to eventually. For all Hanna knew, they were wide awake and just waiting for the right moment to bust her.

"He said yes," Hanna said as Emma brought her plate of food in for her and set it on the coffee table.

"Great! I'll go get one of my movies," Emma said as she went upstairs.

Hanna sat down on the floor by the coffee table and dug into her food. She was so hungry. She had practically eaten all of her food in the short time that Emma was upstairs.

"Okay guys do we want scary or happy?" Emma asked as she held up the two choices.

Hanna looked at Henry and grinned. They both knew exactly which movie they wanted to watch. "Scary," Hanna said excitedly. She had never seen a scary movie before and was eager to see how scary they actually were. Hanna thought she was pretty brave and didn't think she would get scared.

Emma put the movie in and went to sit on the couch next to Henry. "That's where Hanna's sitting," Henry told Emma. He didn't want Emma sitting by him. He would watch this movie because Hanna wanted him to, but he didn't want to have anything to do with Emma right now.

Hanna glanced up and took note of the sad look on Emma's face. Emma just nodded her head and went to sit on the other end of the couch. Hanna finished her food and sat in between them. She looked at Henry. "A little harsh. Don't you think?" Hanna whispered to him. Henry just shrugged his shoulders and kept his eyes on the TV.

This movie was definitely living up to its description of scary. After the first few minutes, Hanna was covering her eyes with her blanket. She alternated between actually watching the movie and hiding her eyes. There was something that made her jump about every five minutes. Henry and Emma jumped a few times, but not as much as she did. When the movie finally ended, Hanna let out a big breath. That was definitely not a movie she wanted to watch again. Scary movies were definitely not her thing.

Everyone made their way upstairs and Emma made a joke about not letting the crazy murderer get them while they slept. Hanna didn't think it was very funny. She laid in her bed and couldn't fall asleep. She clutched her blanket tight in her hands. She couldn't get that movie out of her head. She tossed and turned for a long time. She whispered to Henry, seeing if he was still awake, but he didn't respond. He was sound asleep. The movie hadn't bothered him at all. Hanna didn't know what to do. She couldn't stay up here anymore. That man was going to get her. She just knew it. He was going to kill her just like he had done to all of those people in the movie. She couldn't close her eyes or he would come. All of these thoughts raced through her head, and before she knew it she was running out of her room and down the stairs. She stopped herself just as she got to her parents room and was standing on the side of the bed where her dad was sleeping. She realized that she was being ridiculous running to her parents because she was scared. She started to tiptoe back out of the room when David opened his eyes and saw her standing there.

"Hanna, what is it?" he asked, still half asleep.

"Uh…well, nothing. I…" Hanna started to say.

David could tell by the look on her face that something was upsetting her and that she was probably having trouble sleeping. "Come on, you can sleep here," he told her as he scooted to the middle of the bed making room for her.

Hanna hesitated for a minute. She was still mad at him, but she really wanted to crawl in bed next to her dad, he would protect her. There was no way she was going to be able to sleep upstairs after watching that movie. She gave in a got in bed next to him. He covered her with the blanket and draped his arm over her. "Sleep tight princess," he told her as he gave her a kiss on her forehead. Hanna snuggled next to him and was finally able to fall asleep.

Hanna came into the kitchen where David was cleaning up after breakfast. Henry and Emma had left to meet up with Neal. Hanna looked into her parents' room to find her mom no longer laying in bed. She looked around, but didn't see her anywhere. "Where's mom?" Hanna asked.

"She decided that she wanted to go out to the woods for awhile to think things through. You just missed her." he told her.

"Oh okay…well I'm glad she finally got out of bed."

"Me too. I'm going to go grab a shower, then we'll head to the station," he told her.

Hanna nodded her head as she watched him head into the bathroom. She really didn't feel like going to work with her dad. She really wanted to go with her mom. She had barely seen her at all the last couple of days. She spent all day in bed because she was so upset about what she did to Cora. Hanna thought maybe if she left now she could catch up to her. She probably hadn't even gotten out of the building yet. Hanna didn't dare leave the building after getting into trouble with her dad yesterday. If she was able to catch up to her, her mom could just call her dad and let him know where she was. She would have to decide now if she was going to do this. She heard the shower on in the bathroom. He wouldn't hear her if she left. Hanna quickly got up, grabbed her coat and went in search of her mother.

"Mom, wait!" Hanna shouted when she spotted her just about to walk out of the building.

"Hanna! What are you doing here?" Snow asked, shocked to see her daughter running up to her.

"I just…I," started to say.

"Does your father know you're down here?"

"No…but I figured you could just call him and tell him I was with you," Hanna said as she looked up at her mom with pleading eyes.

"Hanna, we've been through this," Snow said as she rubbed her forehead in frustration. "You have to stop sneaking off like this."

"I know…I knew you wouldn't be far and I didn't even leave the building and I…I missed you," Hanna said as she looked down.

Snow sighed as she looked at her little girl's sad face. She had been so wrapped up in the guilt of what she had done to Cora that she hadn't realized how it was affecting her family. "I'll call your father and let him know you're with me." she told Hanna as she pulled out her phone to call her husband

"Really? Thanks, mom," Hanna said with a smile.

Snow hung up the phone and looked at her daughter. "Want to learn how to shoot this?" she asked as she held up the bow that was in her hand.

"Seriously? Yeah I do!" Hanna exclaimed.

Snow and Hanna made their way into the woods until Snow had found the perfect spot to teach her daughter how to shoot a bow. She set up the target and began the lessons. First, she taught Hanna the proper way to hold a bow and steady the arrow into place. Once she got that down, Snow gave her directions on the proper way to pull the string back and shoot. Snow held the bow with Hanna the first few times she took a shot to help her get the feel for it. When Hanna finally shot her first arrow by herself, she completely missed the target. She went through all of the arrows without hitting it once. It took her and her mom forever to find them all. The next round, she actually managed to hit the target a few times, they bounced right off, but she still had managed to make contact. By the time they were ready to leave, Hanna had successfully hit the target and made several of the arrows stick. She came nowhere near the bullseye, but she had definitely improved. Snow told Hanna that it took a lot of practice before she became skilled at shooting a bow and assured Hanna she would get the hang of it real soon.

"So, not a big fan of scary movies are you?" Snow asked Hanna as they were walking out of the woods.

"What?" Hanna asked innocently.

"Oh, don't 'what' me," Snow teased. "I know you crawled into our bed last night, and I know all about the movie you watched with Emma and Henry. I'm a very light sleeper," she said with a wink.

"I'm sorry," Hanna winced. She knew she wasn't suppose to be watching TV last night since she was grounded. She just thought her parents were sleeping and would never know.

"It's okay," Snow said as she put an arm around her daughter. "I'm just glad you felt comfortable enough to come to us when you were scared, but you're still grounded so no more sneaking TV, got it?"

"Okay," Hanna said with a grin. She was glad she hadn't gotten in trouble and that her mom seemed to be back to her normal self again.

Hanna, Snow, and David were sitting at the table when Emma and Henry came back from seeing Neal. "Kid…wait," Emma said as Henry ran up the stairs ignoring his mother's request. He was still upset with her and continued to push her away. Emma looked over to the trio sitting at the table. "I don't know what to do. He just…" Emma sighed. "I'm gonna go for a walk…clear my head." she said as she went back out the door.

"I'll go talk to her," Snow said as she got up from the table and followed her daughter outside.

Hanna looked up the stairs to where Henry was. "I'll be back," Hanna told her dad, who nodded in response. He hoped she would be able to talk some sense into him.

"Hey," Hanna said as she peeked her head into the room.

"Hey."

"Have a good day?" Hanna asked as she sat next to him on the bed.

"Yeah, it was good," Henry said with a shrug of his shoulders.

Hanna didn't really know how to start the conversation with him about forgiving Emma, so she just jumped right in and hoped for the best. "So, when are you going to let her off the hook?" she asked him.

"I don't know," Henry told her.

"Henry, come on. I'm pretty sure she said she was sorry like a million times."

"She lied."

"She only told you that lie to protect you. She thought she was doing the right thing." Hanna sat waiting for a response, but she didn't get one. "Give her a break, she's new at this whole mom thing." Hanna continued. She could tell by the look on Henry's face that he was taking in everything she was saying, and she was pretty sure she was getting through to him. "Just think about it. She loves you Henry." Hanna decided to leave it at that and went back downstairs. She knew Henry just needed some time to process it all.

"How'd it go?" David asked when Hanna sat back down at the table.

"He'll come around. He just…" Hanna started to say as the heard footsteps coming down the stairs. They looked up to see Henry already at the bottom.

"Where's my mom?" he asked.

"She just went out for a walk, buddy. She'll be back soon." David assured him. Henry nodded his head and went to sit with them.

After awhile, Emma and Snow returned. "Henry, we gotta talk," Emma said as she turned his chair, so he was facing her and kneeled down in front of him. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you about your dad. I promise I will never lie to you again…just don't push me away," Emma said as tears started to form in her eyes.

Henry looked at her with a smile. "I won't," he promised as Emma pulled him in for a hug.

Hanna just smiled and was glad Henry had decided to forgive her. They were on good terms again and her mom was back to her normal self. Things were good again. What else could possibly go wrong?

"It's Tamara. I think she's up to something," Hanna and Henry heard Emma say as they were about to come down the stairs. They stopped at the top to listen in on the conversation.

"Emma!" Mary Margaret exclaimed

"What? Don't 'Emma' me,"

"Shhh, The kids are upstairs," she told Emma. Hanna and Henry just looked at each other and smirked. This was a conversation they weren't suppose to hear, which made it one that they would be sure to pay close attention to. "Look," she continued, "I know this has been hard for you."

"No this isn't about me. She has a list of people who live here and their fairytale names I saw it when I bumped into her at Granny's. Doesn't that worry you?" Emma had herself convinced that Neal's fiancee was up to something.

"There could be a million explanations for what you saw."

"We don't know anything about her, and she lied to me when she said I could trust her. She lied," Emma said, very sure of herself because of her self-proclaimed superpower.

"But your superpower has been known to be unreliable, Emma. Especially when your emotional."

"For the last time, I don't have feelings for Neal. That was over a decade ago. I'm over it," Emma insisted.

"Well that may be, but if you tell Henry that you think his dad's fiancee is up to something then he'll think theres a chance his parents can get back together, so keep it to yourself, please, until you know something more," Snow said as she gave her daughter a pleading look and left the apartment.

"So, we're back in business?" Henry asked as he came up behind Emma.

"We heard everything," Hanna said as she stood beside Henry grinning.

"I thought you guys were upstairs doing homework," Emma said as she turned around to look at them. She really didn't want them to hear the conversation she had just had with Mary Margaret.

"Exactly," Hanna told her.

"Operation Cobra is back on. We're investigating Tamara, right?" Henry asked with a smile and a raise of his eyebrows.

Emma stood there eyeing up the kids in front of her. They were clearly excited about this. She really didn't want to get them involved, but she needed to figure out what Tamara was up to and there was no one else here to watch them. "Get your coats," she told them as she headed for the door. Henry and Hanna looked at each other in shock, they couldn't believe she was actually letting them come with her. They grabbed their coats, and ran to follow Emma out the door.

The trio, with hot chocolates in hand, sat in Emma's yellow bug waiting for Neal and Tamara to leave so they could look around their room at the bed and breakfast. "This is about keeping Storybrooke secret," Henry said, "we need a new name."

"Operation Tiger," Emma suggested as she looked over to her son.

"Why?" Hanna asked from the backseat.

"I need a why? You guys never need a why," Emma complained as she turned to look at her sister.

"I want something like the town," Henry started to say, "something that hides in plain sight. Something like a…praying mantis."

"Yeah that's a good one," Hanna said as she nodded her head in agreement.

Emma just rolled eyes and shrugged her shoulders. She had to admit it was better than the name she had come up with.

"Stakeouts are fun," Henry told Emma.

"Not usually, but this one? Yeah, kinda." Emma said as she looked at her son and sister, giving them a smile.

"I thought by now we'd be having adventures over there you know…riding horses shooting bow and arrows," Henry said as he thought about the life they could be living in the Enchanted Forest. "This is cool too," he added, not wanting to make Emma feel bad.

"Is that something you would want?" Emma asked. "I mean, if there was a way to go back to the Enchanted Forest."

Henry and Hanna gave each other a look. "Is there?" Henry asked.

"No, don't be crazy" Emma said, not wanting them to know about the field of magic beans her parents had just shown her.

"There is!" Hanna said excitedly.

"There's a bean or something," Henry said.

"The giant brought it, didn't he?" Hanna asked as she thought back to the giant her parents had to deal with during one of those many times she had to stay at Granny's.

"You are some smart kids," Emma said, not bothering to keep the beans a secret anymore.

"That's awesome!" Henry exclaimed.

"Duck!" Hanna said as she saw Neal and Tamara exit Granny's.

"Operation Praying Mantis is on," Henry said with a grin.

The three of them made their way up to Neal and Tamara's room. They found the right door and Emma picked the lock, the door swung open in just a few seconds. "You're gonna have to teach me how to do that," Hanna said as she watched her sister in amazement. Hanna was good at sneaking into places as long as they were unlocked. She hadn't learned how to pick locks yet. That could definitely come in handy one day.

"Yeah, Han I don't know about that," Emma told her sister. She wasn't sure their parents would approve. The kids followed as Emma started walking into the room. "No, no, you guys gotta be lookout."

"Okay got it," Hanna said with a nod of her head.

"Well, what do we do? Whistle or something?" Henry asked. Hanna just rolled her eyes. Too obvious, she thought.

"No thats too obvious you gotta hit the door…you know just kick it like you're bored. Or like stumble into it," Emma said as she tried to show Henry what to do. "Just hit the door." Hanna tried to hold back a laugh as Emma demonstrated the proper signaling technique.

"Hit the door, got it. Now go," Henry told her.

Emma was in the room looking around for only a few minutes before Neal came walking up the stairs. "Hey, Henry…Hanna. What are you two doing…" Neal started to say as Henry stumbled his words and clumsily bumped into door. Hanna covered her face with her hands she knew he totally blew it. "Oh hell no. I taught her that. Emma!" Neal shouted as he walked past the kids and into the room.

"So you weren't here and the door was open and we just…" Emma said innocently.

"Emma what's this about?" Neal asked her.

Emma told him all about how she thought Tamara was playing him. How she thought his fiancee was up to something. Emma told him that she knew Tamara was lying and reminded him of her "thing" with lies. He told her he never bought her whole lying thing, which she seemed to take offense to. She even told him about the list of fairytale characters Tamara had with her. He shut her down by saying he was the one who helped her make that list. Emma admitted that maybe she was crazy, but told him she wanted to check under a loose floor board she found. He placated her and let her look under it. He gave her an "I told you so" look when she came up empty. Emma thought for sure there would be something there, but she was wrong, so she took the kids and went home.

Emma, Hanna, and Henry sat at the counter and shared a bowl of ice cream. They were disappointed that their investigation hadn't turned up anything. "You know I believe you…about Tamara," Henry told Emma.

"Me too," Hanna told her.

"You should. Cuz I'm right," Emma said as she took another bite of ice cream.

"And when we prove it, we can all go back to the Enchanted Forest," Henry said with a smile. Hanna nodded in agreement, while Emma kept a straight face. She didn't know how she felt about going back there.
