A.N: This chapter was a bit short but if I didn't post today, it'll probably take me at least another week to post. Hope you enjoy :)

Run. Run. Run!

Heavy breaths. He darted between the trees as fast as his short legs could take him. Blood and scratches covered his body and his eyes stung with sweat. No, there was no time to feel pain. He had to run.

Blurs of green orbs whizzed by, surrounding him. Giddy laughter echoed in the forest.

"You can't run Killian."

Chills ran down his spine. He had to escape. Run!

[THUD]

The flesh on his palms tore as it skidded across the rough ground; Killian winced at the pain but frantically tried to get back up. Sea blue eyes met deep green widened in glee. The corners of her lips lifted into a grin as she looked down at him.

"Caught you."

Killian's hand shook as he dug through the dirt underneath him, desperately searching for anything he could use. Nothing. His lips quivered, he had to do something. The dagger! It wouldn't hurt her, but it would be enough to stall her. Eyes narrowing, his hold on the weapon tightened, hidden from her view. The loss of blood was getting to him; black spots were threatening to take over his vision. "Let me go."

She snickered, "Such an ungrateful little imp. What happened to all the fun we were having?"

"Get away from me!" With a wave of determination, he lifted the dagger and forced it through her bare foot at his side. A loud scream rang within the forest; frightened birds tore through the trees and he took the chance to run away. She was furious now. He couldn't risk getting caught again; she would give him no mercy. He ran with no direction in mind. He wanted to go home; back to the real world, back to his- no. He would survive on his own without him.

His vision blurred as he was pulled up high into the sky, he could hear the pounding of his heart and he wildly struggled to break free. His head jerked toward his captive expecting 'her' but he was caught with surprise when his eyes met lavender instead of green. A soft smile graced her lips, "Worry not boy, you are safe."

"Who are you?" his voice came out as a whisper. Her eyes shone brightly, "I'm … -

"Titania," He acknowledged, sheathing his sword.

"Back again I see… twice was not enough for you?"

All eyes were on Hook. His shoulders tensed slightly. Who…or what was she? It seemed like a hundred memories crossed through his mind. By the way his jaw was clenched, not all were pleasant.

"They've got unfinished business." his eyes met hers briefly, "I'm simply accompanying them." His smirk was back, but it seemed to be strained this time.

The woman scanned the group slowly, "You are looking for the island are you not?" she said once her eyes landed on Hook once more. Hook nodded, and Emma stepped forward. "You know where it is don't you?" Titania studied her for a while and then sent her a soft smile. "Ah, you are the boy's mother. Now I understand your desire to help, Killian."

"Henry? You know where my son is?!" All eyes turned to Regina. Her eyes blazed with all the worry and frustration she had suppressed during the time aboard the Jolly Roger. "Stop jabbering and tell us what you know, we already wasted enough time here!"

Titania frowned at Regina's outburst, and with a wave of her hand, Regina's mouth faded. Emma's jaw fell, and everyone on deck had similar reactions. Did she just-

"It's temporary." She smiled. "As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted… The island has cloaked itself. It senses and fears the power of two evils aboard this ship."

"You mean Regina and I." Gold stepped forward. "The Evil Queen and the Dark One." Titania raised her eyebrow, "Yes, and it is quite ironic that you, of all people, are aboard this ship."

"What do you suggest we do then?" David asked. Apparently her dad decided to trust her. "You leave those two on the ship and row a bit farther into the sea. The island will reveal itself to you."

"I'm not leaving that crocodile on my ship!" -

"I am not staying aboard while my son is out there!" –

"Do I look like I care about your worthless ship, pirate?" –

Tension was thick in the air and everyone was hurling complaints and objections at each other. This was chaos. Nothing was going as planned, it never did.

"Then wander the seas of Neverland with your pride and arrogance. Let the boy die then!" Titania snarled, successfully silencing everyone.

Emma's stomach clenched and she found it difficult to breathe … die? No. She refused to believe it could be possible. "What are they doing-" she swallowed, "-doing to him?"

"It is not what is being done, it is what shall be done…"
