It was the middle of the night it was not unusual to hear the distance children crying well at least not for Alex she could normally sleep through it but she could not put it out of her mind she was finally with her family and she could not help but wonder about them. Meanwhile Emma also was having a restless night she wondered if she was going mad crying voices filled her head making her toss and turn she finally decided to get up.
"Guys, wake up!" Emma shouted.
"Shh Emma go back to sleep" Alex mumbled.
"Can you hear that too?" asked Emma.
"Sure every night" Alex smiled, getting out of bed.
I mischievous laugh echoed from behind them forcing them to turn around.
"You hear that, too? You're Emma, right? I wonder why they can't hear the crying." The boy smirked.
"Who are you?" quizzed Emma.
"Oh, did I forget to introduce myself? I'm Peter. Peter Pan." Pan smirked.
"Where's Henry?" screamed Emma, pulling out her blade forcing it towards Pan throat.
"You've got fire. I like fire." Smiled peter.
"Hello peter" Alex smiled. "I see you are all twisted up".
"Alex I'm glad to see you finding all of this funny" He sighed.
"Why did you take Henry?" Alex asked.
"He's a very special boy, Alex" Peter replied.
"What do you want with him?" quizzed Emma.
"I came here to see who I was up against "The Saviour." Gotta say, I'm not disappointed." He smiled.
"What do you say now? You're gonna tell me how I'm never gonna see Henry again?" sarcastically quizzed Emma.
"No. I'm going to help you find him." Peter replied. "I'll give you a map. A map that will lead you straight to your son.
"If this is some kind of trap" Emma began.
"No it not it's one of his little games" Alex explained.
"I may not be the most well-behaved boy on the island, but I always keep my promises." Peter grunted.
"The path to finding Henry is on this parchment" Peter explained.
"Why are you giving it to me?" quizzed Emma.
"See, it's not about finding Henry. It's about how you find him. And, Emma you are the only one who can." Peter mocked.
"It's blank." Emma complained.
"You'll only be able to read that map when you stop denying who you really are." Smirked Peter.
"Oh could you please tell your parents Alexandra does not miss them one bit" He smiled.
"You so like your games Peter" Smiled Alex, winking to peter to leave.
Peter handed the map to Emma before leaving as quickly as he came he had clearly shook Emma confidence level which please Alex considerably.
"Are you ok Emma?" Alex asked.
"Not really" sighed Emma.
"Tell you what I will go collect water for the long journey ahead I will leave you to think about it." Alex smiled.
Alex grabbed her bow and arrows and headed a long way from the camp she was excited to see Peter she had missed his company and wanted a hug from him.
"Peter" Alex shouted.
"Alex" Peter smiled pulling her in for a hug.
"I've missed you" she smiled. "Have you really found Henry"
"Yes he's at my camp" peter explained.
"What do you want with him?" Alex quizzed.
"I need him to believe in me to save the magic of neverland" Peter explained. "I won't harm him anyway his parents will never find him you know that".
"Well ok" I smiled. "Just don't hurt him he's only a child for god sake".
It pained Alex's heart to leave peter but she also knew the others would become suspicious of her sudden disappearance if she left to go back with peter she quickly gathered some water and headed back towards camp. The adults had all woken up and was huddled around the paper peter had given Emma earlier on they had no clue how to undo the charm placed on the map. It was clear that some where getting more frustrated then others.
"He so likes his games" complained Hook.
"what game? There's nothing here" Regina pointed out.
"Great. So if I just stop denying who I really am, whatever that means, then we'll be able to read this thing." Emma sarcastically explained.
"But how do we know Pan won't use it to lead us straight into a trap?" Regina asked.
"Because he doesn't need to. This island is his trap" Alex explained.
"Don't you see what he's doing? Every second we spend talking about this is another second we're not looking for my son." Complained Regina.
" You got a better idea?" quizzed Emma.
"Magic. If there's a lock on there, I'll find a way around it." Regina suggested.
"Pan said it had to be me." Emma pointed.
"I'd listen to Emma, love. Breaking Pan's rules would be unwise." Hook advised.
"I would listen to the Pirate pan has been known to kill anyone who brakes his rules" Alex agreed.
"we have not got all day" complained Regina.
"She'll get there. Hey. Don't give up. He's playing a game. You can win" Mary Margret encouraged.
"Oh pan also mentioned somebody called Alexandra" Emma announced.
Mary Margret and David faces dropped "my other daughter" They gasped...
