The group studied the cave they were stuck in. "Have you found away out yet?" Luna asked.

"Not yet," Henry sighed. He then turned to Persephone and Jade. "Any luck over there?"

"Sadly no," Jade said, letting out a sigh. "It's hopeless. We're going to die and Storybrook is doomed. Hundreds of innocent people are going to be dead."

"Don't give up yet," Henry said. He continued to look around the cave. The cave was only about a mile deep. Henry grabbed some twigs and went back to camp and he made a fire. Thanks for teaching me that Hook, Henry thought.

"I can't believe she figured us out," Persephone said. "We were being so careful."

"She has eyes everywhere," Jade said. "I wouldn't be surprised if she was listening to us right now."

"Neither would I," Henry sighed.

"I wonder what happened to my parents," Persephone said. "They were apart of the first curse, but they woke up early and found each other. They moved to New York. I have no clue how the magic consul found us."

"They probably have spies in all of the realms," Henry said. The group then went quiet, hoping to save as much as oxygen as they can.


Storybrook got ready for the upcoming battle. Snow and Charming were sitting in their house. Snow was in deep thought. "What's on your mind?" David asked, taking his wife's hand.

"Everything," Snow said. "How this kind of stuff has been happening under our nose. How did they even find Storybrook? Regina made sure to make this town a secret. And how many missing or dead kids are actually just being taken to this school?"

"We will find out soon," David said. Just then, a woman in a general outfit came into the apartment. David grabbed his sword.

"Aw yes, Snow White and Prince Charming," she said. "The parents of the savior and the grandparents of the current author, who also has the heart of the true believer."

"What do you want?" David asked.

"You guys broke the laws of the magic consul by bringing magic into this world," she hissed. "The land without magic. For that, this town must be destroyed and everyone must be executed."

"Over my dead body," David said.

"That can be arranged," the lady said. "But I have a special execution for you and your wife."

She then left the apartment and a cloaked figure came in. He took off his hood. Snow and David recognized his features. He was none other than Neal Charming.
