I do not own Once Upon a Time, but I wish.
Molly ran as quickly as she could through the forest trying to get away from The Lost Boys. She tried to rescue the truest believer from Peter's clutches and return him to his family, but her plan seem to fail due to one of The Lost Boys spotted her. So for now, she is running for her life. Her legs were crying out in pain from the constant running, her breath seem to shorten, her body feels like shutting down from exhaustion but she couldn't stop. She needed to escape and hide for a few days to review of a plan to rescue the truest believer.
"We're closing in on her, boys!" She heard one of them shouted to the others who also cried out in victory. Molly ran through the trees and then -as if fate was playing a cruel trick on her- tripped on a tree stump and fell harshly.
"Ahh…, Oh no, oh no no…" Molly whispered to herself as the tears fell on her cheeks. She knew her right ankle is broken from the fall as she tried to get up, but the sharp pain stopped her. Her ears perked up when she heard the footsteps of those boys closing in on her. As her heart started to beat faster than ever, she tried to crawl away from them.
"Well, well…look who we found!" Felix smirked as he closed in on Molly along with the other lost boys. Molly grabbed whatever was near her and pointed it at Felix.
"You're going to threaten me with a piece a leaf?" In the heat of the moment, she didn't realize was in fact holding a piece of leaf. Felix chuckled and nod his head toward the girl to signal the two lost boys to grab her. Molly yelped in pain as they grabbed her and forced her to stand up with both of her arms around their necks. Felix walked up towards her and grabbed her chin to force her to look at him.
"It's good to find you again, mother." Felix stated. Molly spit at his face which only resulted with his fist meeting her cheek. She looked at him angrily.
"You disrespectful girl!" Felix yelled as he wiped away the spit off his face. He looked around the area where every lost boys stood around them in a form of a circle.
"Now, let's take her to father!" The lost boys hesitated but then hollered out in excitement and ran back home possibly knowing what punishment will be brought upon their mother.
Peter Pan took a small breath to ease himself from the pain that he felt throughout his entire body. He sat on the small bench he closed his eyes and continued to focus to ease the pain. Neverland is dying and he could feel the pain. The pain that Neverland is feeling right was slowly draining his energy. Peter knew it wouldn't matter because it was only matter of time before he could save the island. He had the truest believer, Henry, to save the island.
"What is it, Felix?" Peter questioned when he heard Felix entering his tent. Felix looked at Peter with a small smirk on his face and replied,
"Mother is home." Peter got up and walked out of the tent with Felix right behind him.
"Let me go!" He heard Molly's voice shouted out in anger. Peter walked up to her and took a good look at her. Her short dark brown hair was a mess, her pale skin gotten dirtier, her clothes was torn apart; just everything about her seems dirty and worn out. But the one thing he knows for sure, her unique blue and green eyes still shines like a bright star.
"Well it has been a while, my darling star. I'm surprise you manage to hide this long without me knowing where you exactly were." Molly growled in anger and struggled against the lost boys who held her. The Lost Boys who held her made her kneel in front of Peter. Peter stepped closer to Molly and kneel in front of her and moved closer to her to the point where their nose are almost touching each other. Peter smirked and whispered to her,
"And your fire still burns fiercer than ever."
"Sod off, Peter. Let me go!" Molly cried out as she struggled more against their grips around her. Peter smirked as he walked away and looked around to see the Lost Boys.
"Molly, I would like introduce you to another addition to our family!" Peter looked at Felix and nod at his head at him to signal him to grab Henry. Felix went to go fetch Henry without hesitation.
"Let the boy go, Peter. There are other ways to rescue Neverland and yourself. Please, just let him go back home with his family. He is not a lost boy…" Molly pleaded with all of her might. Peter looked back at her with angry in his eyes. He can't let the boy go, Henry was the only one who can save Neverland and Peter.
"The boy will stay here and help me rescue Neverland." Peter stated.
"This island is way beyond saving, Peter! You and this bloody island wil-AHHHHH!" Molly screamed out as Peter moved quickly behind her and stepped on her broken ankle. Peter putted more of his weight on her ankle.
"I liked more when you used to be quiet. Now you're just a bothersome girl…" Molly heard before she blacked out from the pain.
[Molly's Point of View - Dream]
Peter Pan changed so much along with Neverland and The Lost Boys. Peter was once filled with kindness, joy, wonders, adventures and curiosity but now, he became crueler, angrier, wicked, and an obsession about finding the true believer. When Peter found out about the true believer and what he could do to save the island, he started to change for the worst. Neverland, The Lost Boys, and everything else started to change along with him.
I remembered when I first heard of Neverland when Peter came to window to visit me for the second time. At first, I could not believe him. A place where time stopped, adventures in every corner, pirates, happiness, magic, and where you will never grow old. I still couldn't wrap my mind around that he could fly, I always thought he used my ladder to climb up to my window.
"And how long have you been in Neverland, Peter?" I questioned him.
He looked at me with such old and yet young-looking eyes as he smiled at me and answered,
"Long enough..."
