In the dark misty waters of Neverland a pirate ship known as the Jolly Rodger had landed in the water, coming out of a portal. The force of the boat landing caused most to stumble on the wooden planks of the ship. Everyone was where they were when they entered the portal except one.

The ship had settled on the water slowly cruising, hook stood there on the wheel as he looked around at everyone checking if they were alright, as did everyone else.

"Is everyone alright?" Snow asked as she let go of David and walked away from the rope her and her husband clung to.

David looked around the ship making sure everyone was okay after getting a feeling in the pit of his stomach, which increased when he noticed a certain blonde woman wasn't on the ship at all. His wife seemed to notice as well, for she cried out.

"Where's Emma?!" Snow started to get worried she started to look around the ship for signs of her daughter, they waited a minute thinking Emma would respond some where but it never came.

"EMMA!" Snow called out for her daughter in worry, everyone quickly spread out around the ship and started to look even surprisingly Regina, David looked over the ship and down at the water as he circled the ship like everyone else. Hook got nervous knowing that if she wasn't on the ship, then she was in the water. Hook looked out onto the sea wondering 'where are you lass?'...

A blonde haired women feel into the waters of Neverland a couple of yards away from a dark island and a pirate ship which was a little further out on the water which fell into the water at the same time she did. The woman sunk under the water a few feet below the surface before a bright light under the water of Neverland radiated covering the blonde woman spreading on the water around the pirate ship then towards the dark island then finally dissipated, a young blonde girl remained where the women once was. The girl was about three feet under the water when a electric blue tailed mermaid swam towards her, the mermaid noticed the girl was unconscious and in danger. The mermaid smiled then kissed the girl on the lips allowing her to breathe under water she then took the girl's arm helping and pulling her to the shore of the island. The young girl soon floated on to the islands sandy dark shore, being washed up. The girl remained on the beach until a glowing green sparkling light flew over to the her and then turned into a blonde woman wearing a stylish green sparkly outfit, the woman went down on her knee's and tried to wake the girl to no avail. In the wind the woman could hear a screeching so she quickly and gently picked the little blonde girl off the sand away from the water's shore and flew off into the dark sky holding the girl safely and tight bringing her to her hideout which was located on the brightest place on the island safe from the Shadow's reach.

"She couldn't have fallen off the ship in the portal, we would have noticed she has to be here with us... She's out there David so is Henry and the more time goes by the more I know that there is in danger"

"I know, we will find Emma and then we will find Henry. Just like we planned" David told her looking into her eyes promising her. Snow nodded fighting off tears, she was about to say something when she was interrupted.

"No you won't" Rumple had come up from below deck in a new black crocodile skin suit similar to his old suit's he used to wear in the Enchanted Forest. Hook had his hand and hook on the helm, as he spoke "Oh that's a great use of our time, a wardrobe change" Hook bit at the Dark one, sarcastically.

Snow and David approached him, David went and grabbed a lantern to see what he was wearing in the dark.

Rumple spoke towards Snow and Charming "I'm going to retrieve Henry and see if I can find Emma as well"

Regina started to argue for everyone. "We agreed to do this together, with or without Emma"

"Actually we made no such agreements"

"Why are you doing this, we all know we will be stronger together" David tried to defend knowing their best bet would be with Gold with them.

"That's where your wrong Charming, you would just slow me down and I actually want to succeed"

"How can you think we will not find them, if Emma's out there on the island she will find Henry even if we don't"

"That's where your mistaken, how can she not fail? She doesn't Believe in magic, she doesn't believe in even herself,how do you expect her to find her son in a place full of belief when her's had died long ago when she was a lost little Orphaned girl wanting her mother and Father wondering why they had given her away,her dreams and imagination sadly died long ago. Neverland is a place where imagination runs wild, in Miss. Swan's case her's doesn't anymore" Rumple took his cane then spun it on the Jolly Rodger's wooden boards, everyone focused on until it finally feel to the floor with Rumpelstiltskin out of sight.

"We will search for Emma, then we shall find Henry. Don't let Rumpelstiltskin get to you lot, we shall find them with or with out his sodding help" David and Snow seemed even more put down, but tried not to let the Dark wizard's word's get to them.

"Shouldn't we be looking in the water, she would have fallen in" The prince fought desperately trying to think glancing at the slowly moving dark Neverland water, with his wife standing next to him not wavering her glance at the water for even a minute with a saddened desperate expression.

"It has been far too long, Emma was either taken by the mermaids or washed up somewhere on the island's shore. All of us should pray it's the second suggestion, well maybe neither of them" Hook moved the ships wheel, talking to the Prince feeling sad that Emma was fancied her from time to time always a good conversationalist with him, they had something in common which made them understand each other enough. They were both Orphans.

"I will not just stand here we must do something,my daughter is out there alone and to top it off so is my grandson"David stressed him, he was getting very more worried each minute. His daughter was out there and could be hurt, this never happened before Emma was always able to take care of herself or was with them. This time was different she had called him Dad in the mines, and he was going to live up to that name.

"For now all we can do is head to the shore and start from there, that way we can search for Emma and then Henry. I understand your worries, I do but all we can do is wait" Hook told him sincerely trying to explain himself and to get the worried parents to have even a little bit of peace and most of all hope that their daughter was okay.

The ship had neared the island, Hook had set course to port and then guide the group on the land to find Emma and Henry to bring them Home away from this horrid land.

The woman in the sparkly green stylish outfit carried the girl into her hideout which was a hollowed out oak tree hidden from stranger's eyes. The woman brought the little girl over to one of the smoothed out wooden platform beds she had, which was covered in blanket's and animal pelts for softness. The woman dried off the little girl and placed her on the bed so she could sleep comfortably, the woman then went over to the fireplace and got a fire going to warm the place up for the cold little girl sleeping.

The woman went over to the girl once more and made sure she was lying comfortably on the platform bed, she moved a stand of loose blonde hair from the little girl's face sweetly then went over to the fireplace sitting in a chair and started to read a book waiting for the girl to awaken.

Mean while the little blonde girl slept...

There were stars and trees, there were bright colored very tiny flying creatures in the air near trees and standing near what appeared to be like tiny homes.

The fairy's looked happy and filled with light flying through the forest and homes, a boy dressed in green leaf clothes flew in the air staying a float he smiled brightly... then that smile turned into a evil grin which brought a deadly darkness.

A dark shadow with white glowing eye's detached itself from the boy's body and covered the land with a darkness scaring the fairies. The darkness had befallen them and flew after fairies swooping in and steeling their shadow's giving itself power with every fairies shadow it took. Some of the fairies were brave and lucky had flown away through the sky escaping Neverland going to different Realms of their choosing, some had stayed behind and flew to the light side of the island. A fairy who made the most beautiful sounds as it flew appeared in the sky and watched as the shadow had taken away all the other Fairy's shadow's and power making them die in the forest falling to the dirt and leaved ground.

Emma fell into the dark sky next to this fairy then floated watching as the shadow destroyed what looked like were fairies and their homes. Emma looked down and around her scared noticing she was flying in the air, Emma's attention turned to a brighter light more bright than the others as the pixie gave off a sound which was like beautiful music as it flew in the dark night sky like an angel. It flew very quickly towards the shadow in anger in retaliation for her equals creating a burst of bright light filling the land and Emma's vision waking her up from the dream which really wasn't dream but a memory being played back like a movie.

Emma's eye's snapped opened with the bright white light shinning through them from the dream she had just had. She remembered the tune the pixie had given off as it flew through the sky, it was the most pleasant dream she ever had considering most of the one's she had were more scary filled with Old abusive foster parents and thought's gone astray on why she was abandoned by her birth parents, maybe because they thought she was never good enough. Just like all her foster parent's have told her before beating her, before she cried herself to sleep every night beating or not wondering why they left her never believing she was good enough because all she heard was that she wasn't and she never was.

Emma started to notice she wasn't in her bed back at her present foster home. She was in some kind of wooden smoothed out platform covered with blanket's and animal fur's for comfort and blankets. Emma slowly looked around her noticing that she was in what appeared to be a hollowed out tree.

Emma gently sat up and looked around her noticing a fire in the corner of the room, and a woman in a wooden chair in a sparkly green outfit reading a book. The woman must have sensed movement from behind because she had turned around at the sight of the girl she saved sitting up, she muttered "Oh' before placing her book down quickly and stood up from the chair and walking over to her.

As the woman with blonde hair and sparkly green outfit had reached the little girl who was sitting up and staring at her frightened, she quickly noticed this. "Don't worry I swear not to harm you girl, I had saved you earlier from the shore. You had washed up on the light side of the island, do you remember how you got here?" The woman waited for an answer, she looked to the girls hoping she would answer her or at least speak, the woman hoped she was not a mute or deaf.

"I don't know, I was sleeping and then I woke up here, where am I?" The little blonde girl asked wanting to know, how she wasn't at her present foster parents house. The little girl was slightly relieved that she wasn't, at least she wasn't near the wrath of her foster father who had gotten drunk that night and had passed out on the floor.

"I see, you are in a place called Neverland. The reason the call it Neverland is because you never age and sadly most never leave" The woman cast her eyes downcast feeling awfully bad for this girl, thinking that the girl had to know that she would never see her parents again.

The little blonde girl was taken aback at the not leaving part of what she was told, but at least that meant to her that she didn't have to be in the foster system ever again so she wasn't quite all that sad.

The blonde woman had started to cry feeling for the child not knowing that the child was not sadden herself by this news. The woman looked up when she felt little hands touch her checks and lift her head, she looked into the little blonde girl's eyes. The little girl frowned, before speaking. "It's alright" the little whispered to the woman, who sniffled stopping her tears. The little girl let go of the woman's face"But you will be stuck here away from your family" The woman looked down once more.

"I don't..I don't have a family" The woman looked up once more with confusion written on her face, then the woman finally understood. "Your an Orphan" The little girl sadly nodded before putting her lap, they had sat there in the quiet for a minute before Tinkerbell spoke once more.

"What's your name girl?"

"Emma"

The woman tried to lighten the situation by putting on a friendly smile before speaking. "Well then Emma, since I know your name I might as well tell you mine. I'm Tinkerbell, but my friend's call me Tink" Tinkerbell put out her hand in greeting to the little girl as she spoke her name, which the girl kindly shook trying to smile.

Tinkerbell and Emma had talked for a while getting along quite well, Emma never had a friend before and soon Tinkerbell was her's and she was Tinkerbell's. Tinkerbell showed Emma around the hideout and showed her where everything was, she had taken the girl outside as well around the hideout showing her the land and how to find the hideout.

While they had been in the woods Tinkerbell had shown Emma how to make bracelet's out of the forest's thin vines. They had made matching ones, Tinkerbell had also shown Emma the lost boys she had saved over the years. They all welcomed her with open arms and smiles making Emma smile in the process, they had played and had fun all day until the sun went out.

Tinkerbell brought her back inside the hideout to sleep for the night, Emma had changed into a white night gown Tinkerbell had gave her to sleep in and climbed on her new wooden platform bed which was covered with two blanket's and a fur pelt. Emma went under the covers and reminisced the whole day with a smile.

Emma didn't remember ever being this happy except one time which was like a fading memory she held with her. Her mother and father who had raised her until she was three years old before they had sent her back to the orphanage as if all the memories they had together had meant nothing. The smile had soon turned into a frown.

She remembered her mother waking her up from a bad dream, holding her close. Her father throwing her into the air in a park smiling at her as he threw her up and caught her. She remembered him saying that he would always be there to catch her if she fell, but the thing was that he wasn't there anymore and wouldn't ever be again.

This was the time in the day in which Emma had cried out for her real parent's the one's who she wished didn't leave her on the side of the road. Emma cried for the thought and wonder of why she wasn't good enough, why she wasn't special and that she never would. She cried for her parents that she knew in her heart she wanted so bad, this happened every night regardless of the days events. She still felt this way and finally let it all out when she was in the dark in her bed where ever she was that day.

Tinkerbell had head the cries, at first she thought it was the normal cries of the island but she heard a new cry in the air. Tinkerbell tilted her head lying down in her bed glancing over at Emma, she had found the girl crying. Tinkerbell had gotten up from her bed and flew over to Emma, she had sat on the edge of her platform bed. Emma noticed her for she had started to quickly wipe her tears away,Tinkerbell sadly smiled at the girl.

"It's okay to cry Emma. It sad to see someone cry, do want to hear a story?" Emma nodded her head trying to conceal her tears, Tinkerbell sigh before starting her tale.

"Long ago someone had found me crying, I had been sent here to this island by someone who I had tried to help. I had appeared in the middle of the island alone...a lost boy was that someone who had found me; he had asked me why I was crying. I had explained what had happened to me and he simply listened, once I was done he gently reached in his pocket for something and you know what it was?" Tinkerbell lifted Emma's face by the her chin gently for the little girl to look in her eyes.

Emma had grown curious, so she asked "what?" which she did with tearful eyes.

Tinkerbell sadly smiled at the girl, before she spoke "It was a flute he had started to played a tune I know more than anyone, it was the tune my wings make when I fly in the air. He smiled at me right before he finished, which made me smile making me think of a happier time in my life giving rid of my unhappy thoughts...and in that moment knowing that I couldn't get of this island myself, but if I was going to be stuck here I would help lost children just like you find happiness once again just like that lost boy had done for me" Emma stared up at her with hopeful eyes, thinking that Tinkerbell could help her find happiness.

"Will you help me Tink?" Emma asked with hopeful eyes, something she hasn't shown before in her life. Tinkerbell smiled at the nickname the girl had given her, which she seemed to like very much. Tinkerbell thought it suited her well, it didn't sound prestigious only simple having a effect like a normal name would.

"Of course I will, and that is why I am going to give you this" Tinkerbell took out a oak flute just like she had said in the story. Emma noticed this and said what she was thinking "It's just like in the story, but how did you get it. I thought it was the lost boy's?"

Tinkerbell had saddened a bit but had shook it off not trying to show her emotions to worry Emma. "He had given it to me before he left, he also told me it would lead anyone to their happiness. I promise you will take good care of it for me" Tinkerbell smiled at Emma putting the flute in front of her giving it to the girl who had taken it in careful hands before gripping it securely as she spoke. "I will take very good care of it, I promise" Emma nodded her head while showing a happy grin at the fairy.

Tinkerbell then smiled back at her before saying good night knowing Emma would sleep without tears for the rest of night, before going back to her bed to sleep herself.

Emma laid in bed looking at the flute Tinkerbell had given her, it was a polished oak flute. It was the first thing anyone had given her before except her baby blanket from her parents which she wished more than anything she had with her.

Emma smiled before dozing off with no more unhappy thought's that night.

Snow, David, Hook, and Regina had set foot on Neverland and had venture into the beginning's of the jungle near the dark jungle. They had traveled for a while noticing that Hook had lead them astray from Pan's hideout, but had made headway into the island's jungle making progress. They had soon decided it would be best to set up camp, they had slept separately except for the married couple. All Snow could think about as she lied down was that her daughter was out on this dangerous island alone, and possibly in danger at that very moment. This is what caused Snow to reach into her knapsack that she carried and take out her daughter's baby blanket, she wanted to be close to her as she could at the moment. Snow had felt around the blanket for a while until she put it in her arms and snuggled into David imagining that she had her daughter back and they would be closer to finding Henry.

In the middle of Snow and David's sleep they had been woken up by the cries, this cry was different it was only one instead of multiple like Hook had said they might hear. They looked around hearing the cries wondering if there was a child nearby crying, David looked at snow and snow looked at David knowing that both heard the crying clearly. They had gotten up in search for the crying child; they had tried to wake up the other but they still stayed sleeping. Knowing that they were going to have to investigate alone David had drawn his sword and snow had gotten her bow and arrows to protect themselves. They had ventured two feet into the forest away from the camp looking around listening to the cries trying to locate the source, when a voice sounded out behind them.

"You hear it too, your Mary Margaret and David right. I wonder why they can't here the crying?" They quickly turned around to see a boy who had his hands on his belt and was wearing jeans and a green top. David pointed his sword at the boy in caution and Snow had set an arrow aimed him as well.

David was quick to ask questions "Who are you?" The boy completely ignored the question as he looked at Snow and David eyeing them.

"Oh did I forget to introduce myself.."The boy smile then spoke again."..I'm Peter..Peter Pan" David quickly rushed at the boy putting him against the tree in a hold with his sword at his neck, remembering what Hook had told them about Peter Pan and his ways.

"Where's Henry?" David asked in a hurry wanting to know, but in a low whisper in the night. The boy just grinned smugly at David and Snow at the action.

"You've got fire like her, I like fire" Peter laughed a little smiling at David, David was confused by what he meant by 'like her'.

David had gotten really serious wanting to know "Where's our Grandson"

"Henry's still alive, if that's what your worried about..and yet here I thought you would want to know about your precious little girl. Emma or did you forget about her" When they heard that name David had tightened his grip on the boy in anger and need to know what he knew about their daughter and grandson.

"Where is She!" David putting his sword closer to the boys neck, the boy had kept calm the whole time seeming unfazed by David and Snow entirely not seeing them as a threat at all.

"Emma is very special, David"

"I know, but that doesn't even answer my question. Where is Henry and Emma!?"

"I came here to get a glimpse at who I'm up against at finding Emma since I can't seem to get to Emma I settled for her doting parents. Snow White and Prince Charming" His eyes flared up while saying the name in exaggeration.

"What are you going to say now, that were never going to see our daughter and grandson again"

"No, I'm going to help you find Henry. Emma on the other hand may be found, may not be found it all depends if she really wants to be found in the first place" David let go of Pan roughly not wanting to let his guard down, showing he still could easily kill Pan.

"What are you talking about?" Snow approached David and the evil smugness that is Peter Pan, wanting to know anything at all about her daughter's whereabouts.

"That's for her to figure out.." Pan gestured to Snow smugly while moving his eyebrow's "..you see it's not about finding Emma it's how you find her. For your case, if you ever want to find your grandson you best find The Savior first..She's the only who can and will find him"

Snow and David looked to one another, glancing away from Pan for a second. They had then quickly looked back to speak to Pan again, when they found the boy gone and a gold shiny object on the floor. Snow slowly bent down to pick it up, she stood up with it in her hand and then at the mere sight of it she started to sob.

It was Emma's Sheriff Badge, still attached to the clip. Snow fingered it in her hands admiring every inch of it, wanting it to be her daughter instead. David and Snow stared at then stared off into the dark jungle ahead of them, thinking of only one thing.

Emma.
