Me and Henry were having a lazy day in. We hadn't been able to spend much time together alone. He was always at school, or I was at work, or one of us had an appointment with Archie or Emma was with us. So it was nice just messing around and watching tv. Regina was out so we watched a movie and threw popcorn at each other trying to catch it in our mouths.
Just then the door bell went. Henry ran to answer it.
"Hey, Sheriff" Said Henry. I came and stood behind him
"Regina isn't here" I told him
"Actually, uh, Im here to see you, Henry. I was hoping you could help me" Said Graham
"Help you with what?" Henry asked
"Its about your book. Am Iin it?" Graham asked. Henry held the door open for him to come in
"Why do you wanna know about his book?" I asked
"I've been having these crazy realistic dreams, they feel more like memories" He said. Henry gave me a look before grabbing his book
"When did your flashes begin?" Henry asked
"Uh, right after I kissed Emma" Said Graham
"You kissed my mom?" Henry asked
"Seriously?!" I asked. How many woman has he been with that are somehow related to Henry
"What did you see?" He asked
"A wolf. I saw that I had a knife in my hand and I was with Mary Margaret" Graham replied
"Were you about to hurt her?" Henry asked
"Yes! How do you know that?" He asked shocked
"Because Mary Margaret is Snow White. Which makes you the Huntsman" Henry told him
"So, you really think that I could be another person" Graham asked
"Makes total sense. You were raised by wolves – thats why you keep seeing one. Its your friend – your guide. Its trying to help you" Said Henry
"Im remembering this because I kissed your mother? H-How is that possible?" He asked
"Well, you two do have a special connection. She owes you her life. Graham: Why? Henry: Snow Whites her mother and you spared her. If you hadnt, my mom wouldnt have been born" Said Henry
"Wh-What happened after I spared Snow White?" Graham asked
"The Queen took your heart. She ripped it out. Its kind of her thing. She never wanted you to be able to feel again" Said Henry
"Let me see that book" He said grabbing it and flipping through the pages "Whats that? I saw that, too. The wolf was howling at it" He asked pointing at something
"Thats her vault. Its where she put your heart" Said Henry
"The wolf wants me to find it. Thank you, Henry" He said jumping up and heading for the door
"Hey, wait!" I said. Graham stopped and turned around "You don't look good Graham, maybe you should go home and lye down before you go breaking into a vault or whatever" I said
"I can't! I've got to find my heart" He said as he ran off and out the door. I picked up my phone
"What are you doing?" Henry asked. I didn't answer
"Emma, hey. Graham just came by to talk to Henry about the curse. He's going to the grave yard to find his heart" I told her "Ok, thanks bye" I hung up
"What's happening?" Henry asked
"Emma is going to make sure he's alright that's all" I told him "Come on, we haven't finished the movie" I said dragging him back to the sofa and playing the movie again.
Just after the movie ended my phone started ringing
"Hello?" I said answering
"Hey, I found Graham he's ok. I'm heading back to the station, I just thought I'd give you an update" Said Emma
"Thanks" I said as I ended the call "Grab your coat, we're going to the station" I told Henry. We walked to the station together.
When we arrived Graham and Emma were talking. He was holding her face in his hands crying. They went in to kiss but suddenly he collapsed on the floor
"Graham!" I yelled running in. Emma was shaking him trying to get him to wake up, to respond, do anything!
"Graham! Come on" She said listening to his chest. Tear rolled down her face and mine, I ran back to Henry and wrapped my arms around his neck and head and buried them into my shirt so he couldn't look. Graham was dead. Emma kept saying his name as if saying it enough would make him respond. He was gone... forever.
That night I lay wide awake in bed. Suddenly I heard my door open and the sound of little feet coming towards me. Henry crawled into bed with me
"Hey are you ok?" I whispered
"Can I sleep here tonight?" He asked. I nodded before he nuzzled his head into my side, my arm holding him tight. We stayed like that all night thinking about Graham
