                                             Hayden POV 


Everyone was in the cell except for me. I still can't do small spaces since the Mr Moe incident. 

"Huh. Rumplestiltskin's cell. I haven't been here since before Regina's curse. This is where he told us you were going to be the Savior." Grandma said 

" He knew?" Mom asked

"Oh, it was prophesized. Come on." Grandma says

"The squid ink... it's not here." Aurora says 

"Gold said we would find it." Grandma says

" Well, was there anyone else in here with him? Could they have taken the ink?" Mulan says 

"No, he was kept alone. Visitors were forbidden. He was too dangerous to allow any human contact." Grandam says

" How'd he keep from going crazy?" Mom asked

"He didn't. " Aurora says 

Holding a piece of paper

" What is it?" Grandma says 

"Is that a message?" Mom asked

"Yes. And I think it's for you." Aurora says 

" Why would you think... that?" Mom asked 

 (Aurora holds out a scroll with Mom's  name written on it... over and over again.

"Wow dad must be smarter than I thought." I say 

"You sure you don't want to come in here?' Grandma says 

"No, I'm good." I say

" Still afraid of small spaces huh?" Mom asked 

"Yup." I say 

"What does this even mean?" Mom asked 

"He was obsessed with you, Emma. You were the key to breaking the curse." Grandma says 

" We've looked everywhere. There's no ink in this cell." Aurora says 

"Well, it has to be. He told David." Grandma says 

"You were in a The Netherworld . Maybe something got lost in translation." Mom says 

" No. She heard right." Mulan says pulling out a small glass Jar from the rocks

"You found it?" Grandma says 

" In a manner of speaking. There was ink in the cell." Mulan says 

"It's not true." Emma says 

Aurore launches the inkwell on the closing mechanism of the cell

"Son of a bitch ... Aurora, what are you doing?! " Mom yells

"I got it" I say I catch the mechanism. 

But suddenly everything goes black. 


                                          Third Person POV 


Hook catches Hayden as she fall into unconsciousness. 

"Hayden!" Emma and Mary Margret both yell


" No!" Emma yells trying to break open the cell

" No. Don't waste your energy, dear. Rumplestiltskin himself couldn't escape from this cell. Thank you, Aurora. We couldn't have done it without you." Cora says 

"Why would you do this?" Emma asked

"How could you?" Mary Margaret says 

 Cora chuckles

" Don't blame her. She was only doing what she was told. " Cora says 

pulls out Aurora's heart

" You took her heart?" Emma asked 

" Actually, I did. It was a gift." Hook says as he balances Hayden as she's fast asleep

" Forgive us. We'd love to stay, but Storybrooke awaits." Cora says 

She leaves

" Hook. Wait. Please don't do this. My son is in Storybrooke. He needs me. Please don't take Hayden. She needs me." 

"Perhaps you should've considered that before you abandoned me on that Beanstalk. And sorry I've grown rather attached to the small lass." Hook says 

"You would've done the same." Emma says 

" Actually, no. Do you know what this is, Emma?" Hook says Holding the dried up bean on a chain

" The bean  that the Giant  kept." Emma says 

" Yes, indeed. A pirate always keeps a souvenir of his conquest, but this...well, this is much more than a mere trinket. This is a symbol...something that was once magical, full of hope, possibility. Mm. Now look at it. Dried up, dead, useless. Much like you. The time for making deals is done, just as I'm done...with you. Now Hayden on the other hand trusted me, So full of light a beacon if you will too bad her mother isn't the same." Hook says 

Hayden's head rested on Hook's shoulder as she was sound asleep. 

"Honestly haven't you lot noticed the poor lass is exhausted." Hook says 


                                               Hayden POV 


It was dark and cold. I could see my breath. 

I wrapped my arms around me. My heart rate racing. 

"Hello?' I yell 

Nothing. 

"Peter!"I yell then suddenly I am in a tree house looking up at the ceiling. My head was in his lap. 

"You called love?" He said 

"I'm scared Peter." I say 

"What can I do to make it better?' he asked 

"Can you stay with me for a while?' I asked 

"Of course." He says
