•Chapter 16: Quests•

After our reunion, Felix and I walk through the cemetery in the direction of Granny's. Along the way, we see Emma and Killian talking and laughing before I watch as Killian's eyes go from looking at Emma to looking at Felix and I walking up to them.

"Everly," Killian says before he and Emma walk up to us then he pulls me in for a hug and rests his head on my shoulder.

"I wish I had the chance to tell you goodbye," he whispers.

"Doesn't matter now," I tell him, "all that matters is that you're back and you're okay."

We end our hug then I lace my fingers with Felix's as Emma does with Killian before we make our way to Granny's. When we get on the street that leads to the diner, an uneasy feeling takes over as I think about everyone's reactions to seeing Killian and Felix alive and well.

"When we get to Granny's," Emma says from beside me, "I think it's best if Killian and Felix wait outside."

"Yeah," I agree, "Regina has been through a lot today."

"And seeing them both back when that's impossible for him?"

"Fate is cruel," Killian chimes.

"It could push her over the edge," Emma adds.

"Haven't you guys learned anything?" Felix question as the three of us look to him, "nothing's impossible if you believe."

"Are you saying it's possible to bring Robin back?" I ask him.

"I'm saying that you shouldn't give up until you've looked at it from every angle."

I send the optimistic boy a smile before I look over to Emma and Killian to see skeptical looks on their faces.

"Wait here," Emma tells them as she and I turn and walk into Granny's.

As soon as we walk into the diner, Roland runs straight to me before I take his hand and let out a  laugh then walk with him over to Sam, Katherine, Austin, Henry, and Violet as Emma goes to Regina.

"You guys are not going to believe this," I tell them.

"What's up?" Sam asks as Roland sits in his lap.

As soon as I open my mouth to tell them, an earthquake happening out of nowhere. A moment passes before it stops as quickly as it came.

"What was that?" Austin questions.

Before anyone could answer, the front door swings open, causing everyone's attention to turn and stare at the people entering in shock.

"Swan!" Killian shouts as Felix enters from behind him, "is everything okay?"

"How?" I hear Katherine whisper from behind me.

"What is the pirate doing here?!" Zelena shouts.

"We thought we left you both in the Underworld," David says.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Regina look to Emma before I fully turn my attention to them to see hurt and shock written all over her face.

"Aye, you did," Killian responds, "but now we're back."

David and Snow begin to talk to Killian while Regina and Emma begin to share some words before Felix walks over to us and he and Sam share a quick hug.

"I'm glad you're back," Sam tells him.

"Thank you," Felix responds.

After everyone else welcomes him back, Roland comes next to me and stares up at Felix.

"Who's that?" Roland asks me.

"This is Felix," I answer as I pick him up, "Felix this is Roland, Robin's son."

"Hi," Roland greets as Felix smiles.

"Hi," he responds, "I've heard a lot about you. I'm sorry about your father."

Roland's smile falters a little and slowly nods a thank you before I turn to see the adults rushing out of the room. As soon as Roland goes over with the Merry Men, Henry, Sam, Katherine, Austin, Felix, and I follow the adults to the clock tower.

"Gold," Zelena grunts, "he's got the Olympian Crystal or part of it, anyway. Some of it must've survived. I can still feel the aura from it."

"You're not the only one," Regina adds, "he used it to cast a tethering spell."

"Tethering spell?" Emma questions, "what was Gold attaching the crystal to?"

"Storybrooke's magic. That's why he cast the spell here."

"With that crystal, he can harness all of this town's magic for his own purpose," Zelena says.

"Gold already has the power of all the Dark Ones," David says, "why does he need more?"

"To wake Belle," Emma sighs, "true love's kiss didn't work because she doesn't wanna be with him."

"Aye," Killian states, "and once the Crocodile wakes Belle, do you think he'll stop there? Do you think he'll just turn the bloody crystal and all of its power over to us?"

"He's right," Emma agrees, "let's go get that crystal."

"Let's," Regina says.

As everyone begins to walk out of the clock tower], I notice three people trailing behind before I look back to see Henry watching Emma and Regina having a heated conversation.

"Henry," I whisper.

At the sound of his name, he turns his attention to me but, instead of joining the rest of us outside, he begins to walk up the stairs to hear better. I sigh and roll my eyes before I join everyone outside.

"What's going on?" Austin asks.

"Emma and Regina are talking about something important and Henry decided to eavesdrop," I answer.

"Wonder where he got that from," Sam jokes before I shoot him a glare then turn my attention to Killian as he approaches us.

"We're going to try and find Gold," he tells me.

"We'll stay and wait for Hen," I respond, "and I'll tell Emma where you went."

He gives me a grateful smile then turns and follows the rest of his group towards Gold's. Just as they disappeared around a corner, Henry and Emma exit the clock tower.

"They went that way," Austin tells Emma as he points in the direction everyone went before Emma nods and looks to me.

"Make sure he gets to my place," she says then turns and walks away.

When she's gone, we all look to Henry to see a mischievous look on his face, causing me to let out an irritated sigh.

"What are you thinking?" Felix asks him.

"That I'm not going back to Mom's," he answers.

"Yes you are," I tell him.

"Since when were you the responsible one?" Henry questions.

"Since Rumpelstiltskin has his hands on the thing that killed Robin. You're not going anywhere but Emma's."

"What if you guys come with me?"

"Fine," I sigh, "but I have to tell Little John."

"Deal!" Henry exclaims.

***

After telling the Merry Men what was going on, the agreed to look after Roland for a little while longer. I feel bad leaving him again. I'm supposed to responsible for him now and here I am, making sure Henry doesn't get killed, even though Emma's gonna kill me for letting him do this.

As soon as we finish talking to the Merry Men, we follow Henry to Gold's shop, where he begins to take money from the safe. As he closes it, the door opens and in comes Violet.

"You told her?" I question.

"You got to tell the Merry Men, I get to tell Violet," Henry responds.

"What-what's going on?" she asks, "I got your text."

"It's my grandpa," he tells her, "he's trying to steal Storybrooke's magic. It made me realize how bad it is. It's always magic. Always. Magic turned my mom into a Dark One, it took away the man my other mom loved, and now...now I think it's going to tear my parents apart. I used to think that there was light and dark magic, but it's all bad. Look around this shop. Everything in here is a magical object that has hurt so many people."

After he finishes his explanation, I exchange looks with my group, thinking about how each of us has been touched by magic. Not all of it is necessarily bad.

"My mother..." I hear Violet whisper, "that's how she died...magic."

"Come with me," Henry pleads, "on a road trip. I-it's like a quest, but on a bus, which is like a horse, but with wheels and seats. J-just...come with me."

Violet laughs as his smile grows.

"What do you say?" Henry asks, "I think I can fix this."

"My father would probably kill me," Violet tells him, "b-but yes. Of course I'll come."

"Great. Great."

Once they finish their conversation, Henry and Violet both turn towards the rest of us before we exchange looks then turn back to the two.

"We aren't gonna come," I tell him, "but your secret's safe with us."
