Don't own OUAT, do own Livia.

Chapter 6: Tinker Bell

When I finally stopped crying, I looked around. I was in a small wooden tree house. The furniture was very simple; a couple of chairs, a modest table and a bed in the corner of the room.

"Hi, I'm Tinker Bell. You must be Livia." She smiled. "I overheard your conversation with Peter Pan earlier." She added when I gave her a how-do-you-know-my-name look.

"What's your story?" I chuckled. "It's a funny choice of words actually, because... where I come from, you're a story. You're a magical green fairy who helps Peter Pan."

She laughed. "Me, help Pan?"

"Yeah, you're kind of his most loyal companion and best friend. But then again, he's supposed to be a hero, not the bad guy."

"Can't belive what people say, right?."

"Did the shadow take you too?" I asked.

"No, I was banished." She stared at the floor. "I disobeyed the rules and stole fairy dust to help a woman who turned out to be evil and selfish; she didn't want to be helped. When the other fairies found out what I'd done, I found myself deprived of wings and magic and banished to this land." Her eyes watered, she wasn't sad, she was angry. "They no longer believed in me. I've been here ever since. I spend my time mostly alone although I've had some unfortunate encounters with Pan." She wiped away her tears. "But now you're here."

"A land were fairies exist... A week ago I wouldn't have believed a word you just said, but I've seen so much these past few days. I don't think anything is impossible anymore." I let out a sight. "I just want things to go back the way they were, it was so much simpler." It was my turn to water up now.

Tink grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I looked at her. "We'll find out who you are and why you're here." Just like that, I hugged her. We stayed in that position for a few minutes, lost in our thoughts and relived not to be alone anymore.

"I can't tell you how happy I am not to be the only girl here anymore." She pulled away.

I smiled. "Who is he? I've spent enough time with Pan to have a very strong opinion about him, I don't think I need to specify that I'm not a fan of his, but you've been here for a lot longer than I have. You must know more about him than I do."

"Unlike you or the Lost Boys, I've never been evaluated. I don't think he ever wanted me in his little camp. I feared him before I even got to this land-"

"Afraid of a teenage boy?"

"Where I come from, the Enchanted forest that is, they are legends about him. He's not just a boy, he's immortal and the most powerful person I know. He has magic, dark magic, and Neverland is magic's nest. I don't know how he got here in the first place, I don't know if Neverland even existed before he got here or if he created it. He is Neverland's one and only ruler, always has been, always will be."

"If he's so powerful, how come he lives in a tent? If I were capable of it, I'd make myself a giant castle or something. Even your house is better furnished than his lair and you don't have magic."

"I don't need magic to create things, I'm a tinkerer." She said obviously proud of herself. "Peter Pan is a heartless, thirsty for power, blood and violence..."

"Psychopath." I finished. "I know. I should also say that he's borderline crazy, sorry I take back 'borderline', insensitive jerk, pain in the ass... Ah! He drives me mad!" I took a deep breath to calm myself down. How come every time someone talked about him I ended up screaming? "The way he always does this twitching thing with his eyebrows and his typical smirk..."

"It's kinda hilarious."

We mimicked him and started laughing. Tink really knew how to make me feel better.

We spent the rest of the day talking and getting to know each other. We bounded instantly. She was like the big sister I never had.

"What's that?" She asked pointing at my injured arm.

"Diagnosis: cut. Cause: Peter Pan's pet." She looked confused; she had probably never seen the bear/wolf. Nonetheless she bandaged my right arm. I needed to go back to the healing pond. I don't know why but I decided not to tell Tinker Bell about it.
