Chapter 3- Waiting For May
Ah! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May: Waiting for the pleasant rambles Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles, Where the woodbine alternating, Scent the dewy way; Ah! my heart is weary, waiting, Waiting for the May. ~Denis Florence McCarthy Quotes, Summer Longings
"Felix, calm down. She'll be here soon, if they don't want anything to happen to them," Peter gestured towards the four hanging cages that could just barely been seen through the trees.
He nodded jerkily, "Of course." His restless shifting continued on. I sighed a little,
"Felix, calm. She's always been pretty easy to catch, she's fast, but she'll stay on her same basic path until she's caught. The only challenge would be Pops, but I doubt they won't be able to get rid of him. She might even arrive tonight," I snickered, slightly annoyed at Felix's apparent lack of belief. There really wasn't any reason to worry; she'd be back before he knew it.
The air shifted, sparking with magic.
'New' arrivals.
I looked at Felix pointedly, "What did I tell you, Felix?" I stood, addressing a group of Lost Boys,
"Go get our friends in the cages, Boys!"
"NO! Lemme go! I wanna go back! I wanna go home! LET ME GO!" she shrieked, struggling against Charming's grip.
"Oh, be quiet for God's sake!" Regina snapped angrily, "You've been complaining this entire time- we don't care!"
"Regina!" Snow reprimanded, then turned to the little girl, "Look, I'm sure you'll be fine with- Pan."
The girl huffed angrily, but calmed down, "No, I won't. Peter doesn't like it when I'm away from Peter or Felix."
"You do know Peter, then?" Emma questioned.
"Yes, she does," a voice interrupted.
Peter Pan stepped out of the jungle, flanked by Felix and some other Lost Boys, "Hello, May. Happy to be back?"
May stuck her tongue out at him, "No."
He chuckled, then held his hand out, "Well then- it was fun doing business with you. Now, hand her over, and we'll fix up your friends and family, respectively."
Charming hesitated, and Regina, unfaltering, grabbed the girl and pushed her towards Peter. She 'oofed' as she bumped into Peter. However, her head only came up to his stomach.
She really was quite a small girl.
Peter smiled derisively at the group, "It's been a pleasure," he said, grabbing May by the shoulder and leading the subdued 'teen' into the jungle with Felix, as a handful Lost Boys dragged Rumplestiltskin, Wendy, Neal, and Henry forward. They left two canteens of Neverland's 'healing' water with them before following their godlike leader into the jungle.
Regina crushed Henry against her, while Wendy huddled against Neal, whom Rumplestiltskin was trying to reconcile with.
"Did he even need Henry's heart?" Emma whispered, confused as the turn of events finally caught up with her.
"He could still take it. It's not like we can leave now. Though, he might have another plan. Or, he might not even need it." Rumplestiltskin suggested, "He does seem to have a completely different game plan here."
Emma exchanged an uneasy look with Regina, "What do we do now?"
Rumple shrugged, "Wait."
"I don't like you, Peter."
"I know, May."
"Can I go home?"
"You are home."
"Really?!"
"Yes."
"Oh... No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"NO!"
"May, be quiet." Felix cut in.
"Feeeeeelix... Peter's meeeeean..." May whined.
"No."
"But-"
"No."
"...Ok..."
Yeah, no. Don't like it.
