49

I ran up the tower steps and saw David holding Mary Margaret. "Are you alright?" I asked kneeling in front of her and she shook her head slowly.

"Johanna looked after me as a child, she's like a mother to me" she cried and I looked up at David.

"What shall we do?" I asked and Mary Margaret looked at me.

"I want to bury Johanna" she said and I nodded.

"Then that's what we'll do" I said.

We buried Johanna under a tree, and Mary Margaret gave a beautiful service. "I have to go..." I muttered and they nodded and I walked of leaving them to morn. I wandered up and down the streets looking for something to do when my phone rang. Blimey I was popular today.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, Anna. It's Henry" he said and I smiled.

"Hey, how are you?" I asked.

"Not so good" he said and I frowned.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Did you guys find the dagger?" he asked and I nodded forgetting hat he couldn't see me.

"Yeah... sort of..." I muttered and remembered that I had seen Cora with the dagger in her hands.

"How's the hunt for Gold's son going?" I asked.

"Good, we found him but it turns out he's my dad and it all got very complicated" he said.

"This is so messed up" I mumbled.

"Oh, and um... Hook came" he said and I groaned.

"I knew he would be there sooner than they thought. The ship is missing" I said.

"Yeah, I know. I'm driving it!" Henry said cheerfully. "My dad's teaching me how." What? How was that possible?

"How? I only know two people in the world who can sail that ship" I said and I could hear the frown in Henry's voice.

"Who?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Who do you think?" I asked.

"Oh, you and Hook" he said and I nodded. "Well... I don't know. But we're coming home all the same" he said and he was clearly thinking about how his father could have taught him to sail the Jolly Rodger.

"Hang on... if your dad's sailing the ship, where is Killian?" I asked and I was sure I heard Henry wince a little.

"He um... he stabbed Gold and now he's dying of poison and he's locked in a cupboard at my dad's place..." Henry said and I could tell he hadn't wanted to tell me that.

"What!" I screamed and the people walking down the street glanced at me. They eyed my outfit but I didn't care, people in the enchanted forest did it as well. It was the outfit of a pirate, and it was even stranger here.

"Anna, I'm sorry but--!" Henry began but a voice in the background spoke up.

"Who you talking to Henry?" it asked. It was faint but I could tell that it was an unknown male. Henry's father. Gold's son.

"Anna..." Henry began.

"The one you told me about?" he asked.

"Yeah... did you want to talk to her?" he asked. There was a pause and the sound of the phone being handed over filled my ears. I was walking towards Mary Margaret's apartment and I hadn't even noticed until I was stood outside.

"Hi. My name's Neal" said the man on the other end.

"Anna... and I'm guessing Neal isn't your real name" I replied.

"How did you work that out?" Neal asked and I.

"No way would Rumpelstiltskin's kid be called something as plain as 'Neal'" I pointed out and he laughed.

"I guess not. I'm Baelfire. Is Anna really your name?" he asked back and I chuckled.

"No, I'm Adaline" I said and I realized I was smiling even though I was beyond mad at this point. I leaned against the wall of the building and rocked on the heels of my boots.

"I've heard of you. Hook talked about you all the time" he said and I frowned.

"That's a good point. Only Killian and I know how to sail that ship. How do you know? I didn't teach you so Killian must have. When did you meet him?" I asked and the angry tone in my voice came back.

"Who on earth is Killian?" Neal asked.

"You probably know him by, Hook. Captain Hook" I said and the sound of understanding filtered down the line.

"I was about fourteen and I was being taken to Neverland" Neal began to explain and I raised an eyebrow.

"I've been there, it's not a good place to be..." I muttered.

"Really? Then you'll understand" Neal said "Well I got away and Hook rescued me from the sea. He taught me how to sail the ship but then I found out that he was trying to kill my father because he killed you..."

"Mmm, go on"

"So I left..." he said simply and I nodded. "So who are you?" Neal asked "How do you know Hook?"

"I love him" I shrugged.

"Ah..." he sighed "You know--" he began and I knew he was going to tell me that he was now a killer.

"I know. Listen, you've stolen our ship, locked him in a cupboard in your house and I don't know how or when he's going to get back. So get here, and then we can talk" I said "For now I have stuff to do. It was nice meeting you Neal, say goodbye to Henry for me" I said and with that I hung up, pocketed my phone and walked up to Mary Margaret's apartment.
