Hello everybody!

first of all, to anybody who saw the last episode of 'Once upon a Time': WHAT THE HELL? WHY DOES EVERYBODY HAVE TO BE RELATED TO HENRY? WHY IS THE DEVIL-SEXY PETER PAN A CREEP, WHO IS ALSO RUMPLE'S DAD? (end of being sooooo angry at the writers, it was the most horrible plot-twist)

Anyway, after I read another panfiction called 'When One Day is Equal to a Thousand' by YouSaid (which by the way, is really amazing, go read it!), I wanted to write my own. So this idea was stuck in my head.

And in this panfiction, Peter Pan is not Rumple's dad, he is the devious, evil, sexy teenager with amazing eyebrows, who never wants to grow up. :)

I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: Sadly,I do not own Once upon a Time, just the ideas in my head that I incorporated in this story!

Prologue

I was running. Always looking forward. Not back. Never ever. Hadn't I always been on the run? The night was cold. And dark. Tears were running down my cheeks. Branches were scratching my face, I could taste the blood in my mouth. My heart was beating faster than ever, almost as if it was ready to escape my body. This was all irrelevant to me. I just needed to reach the Enchanted Forest, run away. My new sanctuary. They would be looking for me now, but they wouldn't find me. Not now. Not ever.

This was all just the beginning. The beginning of my end.

Chapter 1

My bag was banging against my back. My heart was beating so hard, it was going to explode. My heart, something the Evil Queen desired. Something she would never get. The salty tears had dried, the bleeding in my mouth had stopped and I was more careful not to hit any branches with my face.

Soon my feet were exhausted of running. My lungs exhausted of breathing. My sprint turned into walk, and then I abruptly stopped. A quick glance to my sides confirmed that no one was following me. I collapsed to the ground, the wet moss softened my fall. At last, no more running. For now.

'Mother, what's wrong?' I asked curiously.

She was acting strange. Tense and scared. She was packing a bag, filling it with food and maps. And my favourite book. Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. Every night I would sit by my window and wait for Peter Pan to visit me. To take me to Neverland. I would fight with pirates, dance with Indians, sing with mermaids and hunt with the Lost Boys. And never grow up. But he never came. And I had to grow up.

'The Evil Queen is coming. For us. For you. For your heart.' She stated bluntly.

'The food will last you a week. Ration is wisely. The maps will lead you to different people who will help you and this-' she held up a necklace with a locket 'will remind you where you come from.' Her eyes were full of sadness. And I was feeling uneasy.

'Mother, what's happening? Why does the Evil Queen need my heart? Mother?' I was afraid.

She handed me the bag and gave me the necklace.

'Dear child, you know I love you. I will always protect you. I really wish I had more time to tell you about life outside this cottage. How dangerous it is out there. The Evil Queen, she is wicked. She will go to great lengths to get what she wants, what she needs for her plans to destroy Snow White. You are very special. Your heart can change fate's design, it can heal the sick and help the innocent. Something the Queen doesn't want. So you have to be out of the picture.'

I embraced her, never wanting to let go. I didn't want this to be our last goodbye.

'Mother, come with me.' I struggled to hold back my tears.

'Use the back door, I can feel her presence nearing. Go now!' She pushed me to the direction of my escape.

'I love you, Mother.' I whispered, looking into her beautiful blue eyes. I would never forget those orbs.

'Never forget me, Aura. I love you with my whole heart.'

Suddenly, knights burst into our cozy cottage, and in stepped a woman. Her black attire made her look dark and evil. I guessed it was the Evil Queen.

She approached my mother and then all hell broke loose.

The knights were coming to get me, and the Evil Queen dug into my mother's chest. How was that even possible? Everything happened it mere seconds. She was holding a red glowing thing in her hand, while my mother slumped to the ground. I looked closely and saw it was a heart. It made me sick to my stomach. The Evil Queen crushed the heart slowed, while my mother let out a guttural scream, the once glowing heart full of life turned to grey ash. I realized my mother was dead.

Then I took off, before the knights could have caught me.

I woke up abruptly. A single tear slid down me cheek. The only person I loved was dead. Killed by the Evil Queen. Who was coming for me. I would not give in so easily. If my heart was so special, I would not let it turn black.

Determined, I took a map out of the bag.

It showed all the seven kingdoms and the sea. A mark and a name were written close to the only harbor on the map.

Killian Jones

I stood up and set out to find him.

So, this was the first chapter! Feel free to review, cause these things make my day!

Till next time, I'll try to post weekly since school is being a b**ch, and I also have a life (just kidding haha).

Love to all readers,
