Um, okay so I lied. I have to start putting chapters up...or Siren will drive me nuts. She my muse and self proclaimed Queen of Darkness...Yes I am well aware that I have issues. -_- Don't judge me.

The only major change to the current plotline is that Neal and Gold don't really get away from Pan. Instead, they run headlong into the rescue party after Pan reveals he let Bae escape all those years ago. Hook already healed Charming but the girls don't get the chance to send their messenger. I realize they are dragging things out for dramatic effect but that whole tag thing they did seemed...stupid to me so I thought it the perfect place to segway the story. The teaser story "Evil Angel" is named for the Breaking Benjamin song of the same name. The soundtrack for this chapter is Disturbed's Prayer. After all, what does a sinner offer up to an evil angel but a wicked prayer?

Will this story eventually be Panry? I...have no idea. I'm sure Siren will tell me eventually. But, I will warn you that this will make you uncomfortable if sexual tension, innuendo and creeperish behavior towards or involving the underaged is disturbing to you.

While I'm doing warnings, I will be fucking up fairytale land even more than the show's writers have. I care about cannon when it suits me but generally try to just mess with what's already known before I add my own twist. With that said, I will hop around like the show does and take liberties with the already ambiguous timeline provided by the writers. I will be using various beliefs and views (that may or may not be my own) that might piss people off.

Chapter titles will be songs with a relation to the content. I guarantee that 90% of the music referenced will be dark, sad, etc. Please observe the genres. Young people will show a capacity for great evil. Think Children of the Corn. OUAT has darkened the origin of Peter Pan.

I will paint it black. For those reasons, the rating is subject to change.

You still with me? Awesome. Let's do this.

Chapter 1

Prayer

This isn't happening.

She came all this way. Went through so much.

For nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Henry could never come home now...

Emma didn't even get to process the fact that Neal wasn't dead. Or that Gold looked like he'd been playing cowboys and indians. It was moments after the duo came crashing out of the brush, panting like dogs, before they were overrun with Pan's thugs. Talk about deja vu...

"You people are getting annoying." Pan walked forward. A burly lost boy following with Henry tossed over his shoulder. Neal vaguely remembered his name was Tiny.

Cute.

"Let him go Pan." Emma raised her sword, having no clue how she'd back up her demand. Her last few encounters with the master of Neverland only ended well because he just left.

"Emma, Emma, Emma. Why are you resisting? You came through the realms, teamed up with people you should by all rights despise, compromised your own integrity. All for what? Not even the Evil Queen or the Dark One can match me. Certainly not on my own turf. Once you give up on this silly rescue, you may go home."

"I came here out of love. And I'm not leaving without my-" She looked to her left to see Regina and Neal defiantly glaring at their enemy. "-our son!"

"Love?" Pan let out an amused giggle. Somewhat odd to hear a male villain giggle like a schoolgirl sharing gossip. Even weirder to hear his cohorts join him. He set his face in a smirk, glancing at Mr. Gold then locking eyes with Regina, not the one who addressed him. "Oh, darling...don't you see? Love is weakness."

Oh darling...don't you see? Love is weakness. Such a saccharine tone hardly disguised the cruelty of the words. Regina's fireball went out as she recoiled in shock. Where had he heard that?!

"Suprised? Did you honestly think Cora came up with that all on her own? She lacked the imagination to think outside the box that way. Or she did until she, ya know. Became a ruthless bitch. Shame she's dead. So very useful that one." The eternal boy's grin went ear to ear.

All Regina heard was her sanity snapping, only seeing red. The raven haired woman suddenly burst into flame, yet she wasn't burning. The heat was intense enough for her companions to be forced away or be burned. The helm of Kilian's jacket began to smoke and he frantically pat it with hook and hand. The Lost Boys too were pushed back; Henry's guard dashed behind a boulder to shield his captive. Whom no one noticed was stirring from the sleeping spell much sooner than he should have.

She flew at Pan like a firefly from the depths of hell. Her hand plunging deep into his chest. Only gasp in confusion having found nothing to grasp within.

And with a bored expression, he caught her by the throat, lifting her over his head.

"Can't rip out what I never had Queenie...So damn annoying... He'll be mine so much quicker once you die-"

"STOP!"

Henry was standing in front in the rock. Alone. Tiny's feet were partially visible around the side of the boulder. His spear however was clutched in the 10 year old's hands. He still felt woozy from whatever had happened before but sheer will kept him standing.

"Oh, you're up. Just a second." The light tone did nothing to distract from the sound of bones cracking. Or the look of terror in those brown eyes as the life was squeezed out of her.

"Pan stop! Let my mom go!"

"Be specific lad. You have two after all."

"I mean it!" Henry's face glistened with tears. And his adoptive mom's tinged blue. Holding the poison tipped stick tightly, he steeled himself. "Or else."

"We've been through this. Not quick enough to stab me Henry."

"I don't have to be." In one fluid motion, the point swung to press against the child's throat. "Let them go home. Alive and unharmed and I will stay here. Kill any of them and you kill me too."

"Henry what are you saying?!" Neal surged he found himself caught in Felix's grip. A grip that was, oddly, far stronger than it had been when he first arrived...wait.

"Everyone's where I want them to be."

That twisted little bastard!

"Hmm. You drive a hard bargain. Alright then. But only if you give yourself to me, right here and now. In front of them. Seeing their hope shattered would amuse me greatly."

Now, everyone not a Lost Boy and having lived in the land without magic found their minds wandering to X rated territory. That's what he wanted Henry for? A sex object to lord over them?!

"You do NOT get to have your wicked way with my grandkid you pervert!" David charged, sword drawn. As valiant as it was vapid unfortunately. With an exasperated chuff and a flick of the wrist, Prince Charming went sailing into a tree. And La La land.

"David!" Snow cried.

"Get your minds out of the gutter. It's just a kiss."

Well, that's not so bad-

"Yes, an innocent kiss." Hook snarled. "That lets you suck out the boy's soul. I've seen how you create your Lost Boys mate."

Know what? Nevermind.

"It's just a small bit." He responded. As if to say "It's only a little rain" or "it's only a little stain"."Enough to bind him to me like the others is it. Not interested in a soulless doll after all. She's turning a lovely shade of purple lad..."

"...Whatever! Let her go!"

"Good. Come here."

Regina fell to her knees sputtering. Her lungs worshipped the air as she gulped it down greedily and glared up at the teen, utterly appalled. As Henry neared, she reached for him. Only to have the front of her head blossom in pain. She fell backward unable to move but clearly conscious enough to show anger.

"Not happening. Oh she's fine." Pan rolled his eyes and took Henry's hand.

"W-will it hurt?" Henry gulped as his chin was tilted upward. The look in Pan's eyes scared him. He saw pure glee...and something else he couldn't quite identify.

"No, just tingle. How lucky am I to take your first kiss?"

Before he could object, Pan scooped him up and sealed their lips together. In an instant he drew back, a trail of white vapor pouring from Henry's mouth into his. The younger boy felt as if there was a hive of agitated bees buzzing under his skin. Not stinging...just vibrating like they were on crack. Everything became dull; sight, sound, the strange feeling. Then it all went black.

Henry didn't get to see the despair in his rescuers' eyes as their hearts broke. Hear their screams mix with hoots and cheers of joy. Or feel Pan hold him like a precious treasure as he stroked his sleeping face.

The Charmings, The Evil Queen, Emma, Neal, The Dark One and Captain Hook could only look on and curse the futility of it all. The demon children vanished back into the trees with their prize. So close, so god damned close!

As far as they knew, there was no saving him.

He belonged to Pan now.

A Lost Boy.

Forever.

/Nature favors entropy. But once it runs its course, stability reigns in its wake. What lurks in the shadows is not always tainted nor is all that basks in the light pure. These are the only truths that cannot be denied. Saving someone and letting them go can sometimes be one in the same you know.../*

Startled, the group shared a look.

"Who the fuck said that?!" Surprisingly, mother and daughter exclaimed at the same time.

*Do remember that creed...

Next chapter will be up whenever I get the chance. Tentatively labeled "The Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold/"Weak and Powerless" by a Perfect Circle (Guess who it's about n_n) ; "Here to Stay" by Korn/ "Dirt Room" by Blue October; or "Enter Sandman" by Metallica/"I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic!At the Disco depending upon which avenue I wanna stroll down first. Those chapters are done but their order is easily interchangeable. Pan will be far more sinister in my story than he has been in the show so far. You'll see he has far stronger connections to the others than they can fathom. Can't wait for tonight's episode! My alltime favorite Disney character Ariel is in it! Don't look at me like that...

Reviews are like hugs! Sirensoundwave out!
