It's Gone

VuryEvilquem asked for more oneshots of Hanna's time in the Enchanted Forest. These next three are for you! :)

Hanna just looked around the room, taking in the beauty. This was their first night staying in the castle after getting that Wicked Witch out of here, and Snow and David were showing Hanna her bedroom. She couldn't believe this was actually her room. This room was the size of the whole downstairs part of the loft back home. When her parents brought her in here, she thought they were just playing a trick on her, but, no, this was her bedroom. She had a giant bed with a canopy and about a thousand pillows. There was a gorgeous vanity, and a doorway that led to a balcony. The balcony looked over the gardens. Hanna liked that. This room was amazing, but this place wasn't home. She didn't want to be here. She looked up at her parents and plastered a smile on her face, trying to convince them that she loved her new room.

Snow and Charming could see right through Hanna's facade. They knew she wasn't happy here, but they hoped this place would feel like home to her someday.

"Now, our room is right next door," Snow reminded her.

"If you need anything just come right in," David added.

"Okay," Hanna said with a nod. "I'm kind of tired, maybe I'll try out my new bed and get some sleep."

Snow and Charming told her goodnight and went to bed themselves.

Hanna wasn't actually tired. She just wanted to be alone. She pushed most of the pillows off of her bed. She found the softest one and just laid down. Her bed was so comfortable. She felt like she was laying on a cloud. Maybe she was a little sleepy after all. Hanna let her eyes droop shut, but before they closed all the way, she sat up quickly and started to panic. Her blanket. She didn't have her blanket. How was she going to sleep without that? She never had before. Except for when she was in Neverland, not that she actually slept much while she was there anyways. And the past few nights when they slept in the tent she didn't have it either, but she didn't even notice because her mom and dad were with her. Now she was alone though, and she needed her blanket. She jumped out of her bed and ran into her parents room.

Hanna burst through their door. "I can't do this!"

Snow and David hadn't even gotten themselves ready for bed yet. They rushed over to her, not sure what had happened.

"Honey, what's wrong?" David asked, putting his arms on her shoulders to calm her down.

Hanna just shook her head and backed away. "It's gone. I…I don't have it."

"You don't have what, Hanna?" Snow asked calmly, inching herself closer to her daughter.

Hanna started to breathe rapidly. She couldn't catch her breath. "I…I won't be able to sleep. It…it's not here," Hanna said again, not even hearing her mom's question.

Snow and David exchanged looks. They could tell Hanna was about to have a full blown panic attack, but they weren't sure what had caused this though.

"What isn't here?" David asked, hoping to get an answer from her.

"We…we just have to go back!" Hanna looked up desperately at her dad. "Please, Daddy! Let's just go home, okay?"

David sighed. "Hanna, you know we can't do that." He reached out his hand to comfort his little girl.

"No!" Hanna shouted as she stepped back from him. "I can't stay here anymore! We have to go!"

"Hanna, just calm down," Snow told her gently.

"But I won't be able to sleep without it." Hanna just shook her head and covered her face with her hands. Why weren't they listening to her? Didn't they understand? Hanna felt her dad wrap her in his arms. She leaned into his embrace and felt herself being carried over to their bed. Hanna just held onto him tightly and continued to cry.

Snow and David just held her close, letting her get all of this out of her system. After a few minutes, she finally started to calm down.

"Baby, look at me," Snow said as she gently lifted Hanna's chin. "It's your blanket, huh? It's not here is it?"

Hanna shook her head. "It's back there Momma."

Snow's heart broke seeing Hanna's sad little face.

"I'm sorry princess," David said as he kissed the top of her head.

Snow wiped a few tears from Hanna's eyes. "I can make you a new one."

"But it's not the same," Hanna said with a sniffle.

"I know," Snow said with a sigh. She gently ran her fingers through Hanna's hair and within a few seconds, Hanna was asleep. She had made herself so exhausted.

Snow and David knew how special that blanket was to her. They also knew that her getting so upset was about way more than just her comfort item being gone. She didn't want to be here. This place wasn't home to her. She wanted to be back in Storybrooke. She wanted to be with Emma and Henry. The Enchanted Forest may have been home to Snow and David, but they would give anything to leave here and be with Emma and Henry again too. They didn't think there was a way. That has never stopped them before though. If anyone could find a way to get their whole family back together again, they could. Their family always found each other. Snow and Charming had to hold onto hope that they could do that again.
