The Magic Within ↠ Once Upon A Time

[Chapter 6] Trouble

"That could've been my second option. Anyways, that doesn't matter. I have something from Gold that could track down my suspect."

"You got another tracking potion; I highly doubt it'll work if we don't have anything from that said person."

"Not exactly. He didn't have any more of the potion."

"Well, that's surprising," she says. Her eyes widen a little. At least I wasn't the only one shocked to find out that 'the Great Rumpelstiltskin' can forget. "Well, what did you obtain?"

"This." I unravel the cloth around the object in my hand to reveal the glass globe inside. "He said it's able to show where anyone is just by saying their name or use something with their DNA. It's almost like your Magic Mirror."

"But, it won't talk back to you. That's a plus. But, we don't know who this person is, so how are we going to find someone we don't know?"

"Haven't thought of that yet?"

"Great, so we have nowhere to go. Why do I rely on you with these things?"

"Don't worry, Regina, we'll think of something."

She lets out a frustrated sigh as she puts her hands on her hips. Then, she looks back at me and behind me. "Where's Henry?"

"He went out. I thought you would've known."

"I know that he went out, but he told me he had something important to do. I would've thought he was going to spend the day with you, doing who knows what."

"Well, he's not. He made a mad dash right pass me when I came to see you. He ignored me when I wanted to talk to him."

"That's not like him."

"I know."

"So, you don't know where he could've gone or, at least, what he was planning on doing?" she asks, growing more concern as I was by the minute.

"No. He never mentioned a thing. But, yesterday, when I got this, Henry seemed a little off, like how he's been for a while now."

"I've noticed something different about him since his birthday. Do you think he knows something we don't?"

"There's only one way to find out." I hold up the globe in front of us.

She nods at me then takes a deep breathe. "Henry Daniel Mills," she says to the globe. Instantly, inside the globe, it begins to fog up on the inside, showing us that it magical object was working. After a few moments, I could see some color finally forming inside. Now, instead of the foggy mist inside, Regina and I could see a full picture inside the glass globe. Inside, we view Henry inside and see him in real time.

"He's in the forest?" I question.

"Seems so," she responds. "But, wait. It looks like he's talking to someone." We view the scene more closely as the globe expands its view of Henry. Once the view is far enough, we both gasp in shock. We notice Henry talking to someone covered by a hood.

"Who is that?" I ask, fear slowly rising. I couldn't bear the thought of Henry getting hurt, or worse.

"I don't know, but I'm not going to let them lay a finger on him."

"If we're lucky, it's the person we are looking for."

"We better hurry then if you want to catch your suspect." With that, we run out of Regina's lot and into my yellow Beetle. Once inside, I turn on the car and quickly drive out into the forest. I hand Regina the globe in order for her to keep her view on Henry.

I take out my radio phone and call my dad, knowing he was at the station. "Dad, are you there?"

Instantly, I first hear static before I hear him speak up, "Emma, what's wrong?"

"I think Henry is in trouble. He's in the forest, and I think he's with our suspect. Hurry and meet us in the forest."

"Okay. I'm on my way." He hangs up and I drop the radio phone next to me. I keep my eyes focus on the road while speeding through the streets. I just only hope Henry wasn't in serious danger, but thinking he is with our suspect, we don't know what that person is capable of.
