Chapter 4.

Tinkerbell was angry, terrified, worried and so many other feelings that she couldn't understand how a person (or fairy whatever) could have so many of them at the same time.

That afternoon she reunited with Bae as usual, but he came a little late.

He must have been playing does bloody games with the silly lost boys, she thought.

When he entered to her treehouse, she was waiting him with her hands on her hips.

"Hey Tink," he said casually.

His attitude annoyed her even more. He didn't seem to care that he killed an innocent animal.

"What you did in the morning was horrible, Baelfire."

"I was hunting Tink" he said rolling his eyes. "That's what you're supposed to do."

"No…this was different and you know it."

"You're making a big deal about nothing."

"No, I'm not!" she replied. "You let go your anger hurting a harmless animal. That's not okay!"

Bae tried to calm himself, but Tinkerbell took him rapidly to the edge.

"YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER!" he screamed so loud that probably the whole island listened him, "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO OR NOT."

He was breathing heavily and shaking like crazy. Tinkerbell just stood there too stunned to reply to him.

What´s happening to the calm, sweet, little boy I knew a few weeks ago? she thought.

Bae shut his eyes.

"I'm outta here."

He turned around but Tink grabbed his arm gently.

"You're not a lost boy, Baelfire. You're better than that."

He shook his head and looked down.

"I belong with them…they are…they're my family now."

When he started descend the ladder Tinkerbell looked at Bae with sad eyes. She needed to start the plan she made with Hook, soon.


"How do you plan to bring her?" the pirate asked.

"I don't know"

"Maybe you could convince Pan."

Tinkerbell raised her eyebrows.

"If Pan did something to Baelfire there has to be a reason" she said. "He knows that if he brings Wendy, his plan is not going to work.

Hook crossed his arms around his chest.

"I don't think we have another option."

She didn't like that plan. She rarely crossed a word with Pan when it was extremely necessary. Just the sight of him made her sick. He manipulated children to be whatever he wanted them to be.

"I guess you're right" she finally said." But Bae doesn't remember her, how could she…?

"Because love can break any curse."


She met with Pan when all the lost boys were playing around with their swords. She glimpsed Baelfire in the crowd and saw him cutting and hitting the other boys. His eyes looked mischievous and she could feel he was having so much fun.

She winced when he started pushing a lost boy with his feet.

Tinkerbell turned his attention to Pan, who was enjoying the show.

She cleared her throat and Pan lifted his gaze towards her.

"I need to ask you a favor" she said directly.

"Wow, not even a hello" he scoffed.

Tinkerbell resisted the urge of rolling her eyes.

"Hello, I need to ask you a favor."

Pan ignored her replied because at the same time the crowd cheered when Bae beat another boy.

"And what's it?

She rubbed her hands nervously.

"I feel alone here. I'm surrounding of sweating boys, I need the company of a woman or a girl at least."

Peter frowned.

"So?"

"I want you to send the shadow and bring Wendy Darling."

Peter looked at her with disbelief.

"Go and play on your treehouse fairy" he said walking away." I don't have time for this."

Tinkerbell cursed in her head and stopped Peter.

"Look, if you bring her…I would owe you a favor."

Peter examined her with curiosity. It was something risky, but on the other side the fairy would have to pay her debt and he could use that somehow.

"Okay I accept it. But the Darling girl can't come closer to any of the lost boys."

Tinkerbell nodded.

"Not even Baelfire, do you understand?" he said bitterly." If I see her with him, or at least looking at him, you two would see me angry and my lost boys can tell you, it's not something pleasant to see."

Tinkerbell gulped, but she kept looking at Pan with fearlessness.

"It's a deal" she said extending her hand and Pan shook it.


The Big Ben marked the 8:15 p.m. when Wendy Darling was trying to contact the shadow. First she was trying to forget everything that happened, but it was wrong in many ways. Bae saved her and her brothers. He was a hero, but it wasn't fair. He lost both of his parents and the Darlings were his only family and you never leave family behind.

She said goodbye to John and Michael, promised them that she would be back soon.

So when she called the shadow to take her to Neverland again, she was somehow happy. She was going to save Bae and bring him back where he belonged.

On Neverland, the lost boys kept playing around the fire when the sun came down. Peter watched with amazement the progress he had made with Baelfire. Soon, he would be unrecognizable.

While everyone started dancing when Peter played his flute, Bae felt his eyes getting tired and decided to sleep before the others. He hoped he wouldn't get any nightmares this time. But as always he was wrong.

First, he dreamed about his papa again. It was the same thing. He was telling Bae how useless he was and then he throw him to the pit like an old toy. But then, his dream changed.

It was fuzzy and confusing. He saw a blonde haired girl with tears in her eyes.

"You said magic is bad, and you were right, Bae. It's going to destroy my family."

He didn't understand what she was saying that but he felt his heart broke into a million pieces.

The image vanished and it changed to a happy one.

Here, Bae and the girl were playing with other two younger boys outside of a big red house. All of them were laughing and running.

Everything got blurry again and now he could only hear the girl calling his name with despair and he wake up.

He rubbed his eyes and saw that everyone else was sleeping. The sky was still dark so he decided to take a walk around the woods.

He tried to clear his mind, but he couldn't forget about that dream. It seemed so real…and so good. But it couldn't be, maybe he just was dreaming something he wished he could have. A family, with a mama and a papa that really care about him…

He was so distracted with his thoughts that he didn't notice a big branch on the floor that made him stumble and fell to the ground. He cursed quietly when a stone cut him the palm of his hand, but it wasn't a bad bruise thankfully. He grabbed the stone with his other hand. It was a limestone.

He continued walking in the night, thinking about the boys and mostly about that girl of his dreams and he stopped when he found a cave hidden in a bunch of large trees. Baelfire made sure nobody was watching him when he entered.

The cave was small and of course, dark. No one had been here before and Bae knew this was the perfect place to be when he needed to be alone.

And with the limestone in his hand, he started drawing his dreams, feeling a peace he hadn't had since he came to Neverland.
