The Magic Within ↠ Once Upon A Time

[Chapter 8] Family Secret

~Regina's POV~

"Where the hell did she go with my son?!" I yell. Anger continues to boil inside of me until I would burst into a fit of rage. I was mostly angry with myself at the fact that I couldn't protect my son; and now, he's somewhere out in the forest with his assailant. At the same time, I was extremely worried; Henry was unconscious and I didn't know whether or not he was alive and well, but I rather not think those bad thoughts.

"Don't worry, Regina," Robin says. His calming voice gave me some peace of mind. He always knew when I was worried sick for my son; he'd be feeling the same way if the same situation happened with Roland. "We will find Henry, and we'll take down that criminal. We will get justice for him."

"If we can find Henry. We don't even know if he's okay." Tears began forming in my eyes and threaten to fall down my face. "Whatever that person did to him, it could've kill him."

"Regina don't think that," Emma finally says.

"How can I not? Henry was hit with magic, with a spell that I don't even know was used, and the last thing I saw was him unconscious on the floor."

"We'll find him. We're not going to give up just yet."

"Then, hurry up and use that globe to show us where he is."

"That's going to be a problem." Before I was about to ask why, Emma looks at her feet, which I follow her gaze, and on the floor, we find glass shards scattered around her feet. With the huge impact, the globe must've slipped out of her hands and crashed onto the floor. Now, we have nothing to go by to find my son.

"Great; now because of Ms. Swan's inability to hold onto a simple object, my son's life is at stake."

"It wasn't the lass's fault!!" Killian shouts.

"Oh, and I suppose the globe would've been safer in the hands of a person with only a hand and a metal stick."

Before he had the chance to say anything else, Emma holds him back. "Regina, I know what you're feeling."

"You don't know anything. You don't know the feeling of knowing whether or not your child is alive or dead. You don't know what it feels like to have your child taken away from you."

He eyes widen, "You don't think I know. For God's sake, Regina, I know exactly what it feels like. I know exactly what you're going through because Henry is also my son!!"

"Everyone calm down!!" David shouts, silencing every one of us, "We're not going to find Henry if we keep arguing with each other. Look I know everyone is on edge. But, I promise that we'll find Henry, but we have to stop arguing and start looking if we want to find him before something more serious happens."

"Aye, I agree," Killian interrupts.

"Now, the best option for us, right now, is to gather some more reinforcements then go search around the forest. So, let's quickly gather up some people and look for Henry."

After a moment of silence, we all agree with David's plan, and we walk away from our spots in order to get back to town. I, of course, was very hesitant in leaving the forest. Though it would only be for a short time, I didn't want to stop looking for Henry, but with no other choice, I turn around and walk with the group ahead of me. As I caught up, I felt Robin's arm wrap around me, as a way to comforting me. I truly did hope that Henry would be alright for the time being, and I'll soon get him back safe and sound in my arms.
