The Jolly Roger landed in the dark water with a jolt, the family set their eyes upon the land they'd said they would never come back too. Hook looked to the people on his ship and up at the island, the thick mist that covered the island sent a fearful shiver down his spine. A Large bang at the front of the ship brought everyone back into reality,
"What was that?" Henry asked looking at hook, the man shrugged in return as Regina ran to the front of the boat and looked over the edge,
"Oh no" Regina muttered as she watched a long fish tail flick the surface of the water, she hoped that it was just a really big fish and not what she thought it was. Emma ran to join the Queen at the tip of the ship,
"Regina what is it?" The woman asked looking into the see, but her question was soon answered for her as I mermaid popped up from the sea and smiled before diving back under to bang the ship again, "They'll bring down the ship" Emma realised before running quickly up to hook. She was followed by her parents, her husband and her son,
"We need off of this ship and onto shore fast" Emma stated,
"Emma what is going on?" Mary Margaret asked grabbing her daughters arm and turning her to face them,
"Mermaids" Rumple groaned as he and Belle walked up on the other side of Hook, "Myself and Regina can take everyone over to the shore, but Captain you may have to sacrifice your ship"
"What?" Hook questioned looking at Rumple like he'd just been asked to kill everyone on the ship,
"It's the only way we'll survive this" The dark one said looking at his wife and smiling, "The way you defeated them last time won't work, I can guarantee"
"It's not the only way" a boy's voice declared, the passengers turned around in shock to see the owner of the voice leaning on the mast of the ship.
"Pan" Henry spat, Peter smiled once he knew he had everyone's attention; Emma pulled her knife from its holder and held it towards the boy
"Oh Emma, I'm not here to fight. I'm here to give you advice" Peter chuckled,
"How can we survive this then?" Regina challenged, Peter pushed himself off the mast and started to pace the width of the ship,
"I ordered the mermaids to do whatever they could to stop you from getting to shore, but there is one way you can stop this attack" Peter started, nobody said anything as they all hoped that he may actually have a useful way to get off this ship without destroying the ship "Leave – If you agree to leave and never come back I will call off the attack and they will let you leave in peace"
"Never, I will get my baby back" Henry shouted, Peter shrugged and chuckled as be begun to hover higher and higher off the ground, "Well if you choose that path I'm afraid I can't help you. Just one last thing though; Emma, you remember when I told you that when you found Henry he wouldn't want to leave the island?"
"Yes" Emma slurred wondering what was behind this question,
"This time my Snow won't actually want to leave, I can promise you that" Peter chuckled as he soared into the sky and flew towards the island,
"She isn't yours!" Henry shouted at the top of his voice, before sighing
"Catch a mermaid; we can try to reason with her?" Neal asked,
"Try and reason with a mermaid? Pahh" Regina laughed,
"Well what do you suggest?" Neal questioned looking at the Queen
"Gold's idea, it's logical and a lot easier then fighting these devils" the woman smiled,
"But my ship" Hook pouted,
"You stay here then" Regina said shrugging and walking over to Charming and Mary Margaret, "I'll take these two first" Regina smiled before transporting the three of them to the sandy shore opposite the Jolly Roger, "Stay here I'll be back" the woman ordered before vanishing.
Snow and Charming held hands as they looked up at the long trees that covered the land in front of them,
"This place is so big and she's so tiny" Snow sighed,
"We'll find her, we always find family" David smiled as Snow looked at him; his face fell when he saw the disbelief and sadness in his wife's eyes, "You have to have faith, remember what you kept telling Emma last time we were here? And we found Henry? You have to have that positivity now otherwise we're all doomed"
"Charming, I just don't know this time. We have no idea what she looks like, he may have changed her name, he may have brainwashed her little brain; we just have no idea."
"We can only have faith, we have to try our best, for Henry, for little Snow" the man sighed as he pulled his wife towards him and hugged her,
"I love you" Snow smiled lifting her head up and kissing Charming.
Peter smiled as he landed near the base tree; he slipped into the tree finding most of the lost boys sitting around the room,
"They're here" Peter grinned as the boys all looked at him, it was when they all started to pick up their weapons that Snow walked through the thin clothe to the main room,
"Who are here?" She asked looking at all the smiling boys with their swords and hammers leaning on their shoulders, she was confused as to what was going on; she stood with her hand on her hip and ran the spare hand through her smooth hair,
"That's the thing, you have to stay here" he walked over to his little sister and pressed his hand on her cheek making her look you him in the eye "Promise me, Promise that you will stay in this tree, these are the people who will take you if they see you"
"I promise you" She smiled before leaning forward and kissing Peter on the cheek "Go get them" she smiled, Peter then turned to the lost boys and smiled evilly before punching his hand in the air. The lost boys all started to hoot as they departed from their base, Snow watched them all leave and then sighed looking around at the empty room; she'd spent way too much time sitting around in this place whilst Peter and the lost boys went out and had fun, she wanted to see what was really going on, be in the action for once. She smiled to herself as she pulled out a cloak and headed out of the tree looking around for any lost boys that may be on watch but there was no-one to be seen, it was then that she grinned and pulled the hood over her head before sulking into the dark of the woods.
By the shore.
"Is everyone ok now?" Hook asked dusting off his leather jacket, nobody responded but everyone smiled a little bit; Henry looked up at the dark forests that looked so much smaller now he had grown up,
"Let's go find my baby" He suggested before heading into the woods, the rest of the family followed the father. It wasn't long before the group were surrounded in a thick layer of woods, they had no idea where they were going and they knew that pan was going to be no help this time,
"How are we going to do this?" Regina asked pressing the palm of her hand on her forehead, she stopped in her tracks and waited for everyone to turn to her "We have no idea where we're going, we have to stop and think about this"
"We don't have time" Henry spat as he carried on walking,
"Henry!" Regina called causing the man to stop again, "Henry, Snow has waited 2 years for you to come back, I'm sure she can wait an hour or two while we figure out how to rescue her"
"Henry, Regina's right" Emma hummed sitting on a rock. Rumple's ear pricked up and he started to look around,
"What's wrong?" Belle asked moving her hand from under the dark one's arm to her sword,
"He's here, Pan is here" Rumple added, the group all pulled out they're weapons and formed a circular formation.
Snow hid behind a tree, she'd heard voices and didn't know who they belonged to; she wondered whether these were the people that Peter was talking about,
She peaked around the tree to see a small group of rather large people standing around; she heard a snap and instantly hid behind the tree again. She slipped behind the bush next to the tree and peered up at the strange people, she'd never seen people like this before, they were very tall their eyes burnt some sort of emotion that Snow had only seen in Peter's eyes and that was only a few times.
"He's here, Pan is here" One of the people said; Snow stood up and looked around her hoping that her brother wasn't actually here but she pushed her foot down on some rocky ground and fell backwards down the hill towards her family. The group turned towards the screaming child as she tumbled down the hill, she landed on her front as David walked towards her pointing his sword in her direction. Snow pushed herself off the ground before tucking her hair behind her ear, she looked up slowly hoping that these people weren't going to hurt her; the prince tucked his sword under her neck and slowly brought her head up to look directly at him,
"You're a girl?" he questioned looking confused, Little snow began to shake as she felt the cold metal caress her chin she let out a slight whimper; Mary Margaret heard the sign of fear and took pity on the girl,
"It's ok, we won't hurt you" the woman cooed as she walked up to her husband and lowered the sword that he had a tight grip on, "David, she is a child" she whispered before Charming sighed and let the sword drop to the floor.
"Guys" Emma called, everyone turned to face the woman and slowly started to form a circle around her as they knew that this meant she wanted to speak to them all privately,
"We don't need to do the whole killing thing this time or even take out someone's heart, if we point a sword at everyone that comes near us then we could end up pointing a sword at Snow by accident and can you imagine what that first impression would be like?" Emma explained,
"Emma's right, we can only start to attack when we're being attacked ourselves" Hook agreed, the rest of the group started to nod in unison, "But first I think we should see if this girl knows snow"
However, Regina was already one step ahead of the group, she'd departed and was making her way over to the girl. Little snow looked up to the unfamiliar women and immediately looked down, she had no idea what the woman would do to her;
"It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you; I just want to ask you something" Regina said with a soft tone, she was glad that she'd said it in that way for the young girl responded immediately with a small smile,
"What do you want to know?" Snow asked looking up at the woman, she played with a small vile around her neck that Peter had given her when they first came to Neverland.
"Do you know a little girl around 2 years old called Snow?" Regina questioned by now the rest of the group were behind Regina all hoping for a helpful answer, Charming and Mary Margaret clung to each other as they hoped that the child was alive.
"There are no 2 year olds on this island but there is a Snow, why do you want her?" Young Snow asked, she didn't want to give her identity away just in case there were in fact here to hurt her then she would be in trouble,
"She isn't 2? How old is she?" Henry asked as he hoped for a young age to be told to him,
"Nearly 16, and why do you want her?" Snow growled starting to get aggravated, Henry gasped and stepped back as he felt the world around him slip through his fingers.
"16?" Emma stuttered out,
"Aye, I forgot about that, Neverland's time goes faster than our average time" Hook added,
"But if I remember correctly you don't age in Neverland so then how has she aged?" Neal asked,
"Because she came here when she was a baby, so Neverland allowed her to grow up, on her 16th Birthday she will stop aging. Now why do you want her?" Snow explained, saying the last sentence through gritted teeth; Regina looked at her and smiled again,
"We're her family, we've come to bring her home" The Queen said but Snow didn't like that answer she pushed herself off the ground and started to pace backwards,
"You're lying your just here to hurt me … I mean her" The young girl shouted,
"No, please listen to us Pan he kidnap-" Belle started before Rumple stood in front of her cutting her off
"You said, me. Girl, what's your name?" The dark one questioned, Snow's eyes widened as they realised what she'd accidently said, she turned to run away but the man who just spoke to her was stood there, "It's you isn't it? You're our Snow! It makes sense, of course there wouldn't be two teenaged girls on this island, Pan doesn't collect girls"
"Stop saying stuff about Peter! He only kidnaps boys so that they can live a better life here! He's topped now and he most certainly didn't kidnap me" Snow snapped,
"He did, you're part of our family and he took you when you were a baby" Emma shouted and she paced towards her Granddaughter,
"No you're lying, Peter is my brother he brought me here when I was a Baby our Mom and Dad didn't want us anymore" The girl re-assured,
"You tell them Snow" Peter grinned, everyone turned around to see their enemy and in one case brother
"Peter!" Snow yelled running over to him,
"You have some explaining to do" He whispered as she went behind him, "How dare you try and take my sister away from me, I know what you intend to do with her and I will not let it happen" Peter evilly smiled knowing that Snow couldn't see the smirk that he presented her family,
"Peter, we all know that she is not yours so you give her back!" Neal shouted,
"Never" he added before he pulled her away. He picked her up and ran quickly towards the base; there was no convosation as Peter was annoyed and Snow didn't want to say anything that would annoy him even more. When they arrived at the tree he put her down and watched her slip in before following her,
"Snow, what the hell?" Peter spat,
"You and the boys you go out all the time and I just have to sit here and wait for you to come back, I'm bored of it now! I just wanted to see what was going on because it seemed interesting" Snow explained,
"I told you when we left that they would try to take you from me, since when was that an incentive to go wondering about? Snow you don't understand what the hell you put me through when I came back to check on you and you were not here! I thought they'd taken you, I've never been so scared in my life!"
"I'm Sorry it won't happen again" Snow murmured walking towards her brother, she hung her head as she spoke "I just wanted to know what you do"
"It's ok, just promise me; for real this time, that you will never disobey my orders again" Peter added, lifting up Snow's head
"I promise"
"Come here" Peter smiled taking Snow into a hug, "I'll never let them take you, I promise"
And this was a promise he fully intended to keep.
