Alright so I'm going to skip forward for a bit to get the plot a going and I hope that's ok with you all! I hope you all had a lovely christmas! I would love to know what you all got? I got a cool merida doll from Santa, a smart tv, the divergent series, tons of cool nerd memrobilia, gift cards, and I bought myself the deluxe frozen soundtrack! Oh speaking of it I finally saw Frozen! It was sooo amazing I loved it so much! Oh I also got to finally try my bow for the first time! It was super fun and I didn't do well but I really wasn't expecting myself to be like Hawkeye with it on the first try but I had fun and that's all that matters. I couldn't shoot a crossbow though sadly cause the arrows are so tiny and easy to lose. Anyways sorry for the rambling and I hope you enjoy this chapter (virtual thumbs up) not sure why I did that but it seemed right hahhaa.
Weeks passed by in Neverland and I actually got quite comfortable there. I even began to feel attached to some of the boys. After our awkward little slumber party Peter and I began to tolerate each other at the least. There were still some points where he deserved a good kick in the shin but it wasn't as bad as when I first got there. None of us ever mentioned any of the visions/flashbacks that we had shared because that meant we believed what they were trying to tell us and that was a whole different territory that I did not want to approach.
After spending several days with Tigerlily she lead me back to the beach where we found Peter waiting for us. I saw Tigerlily give me a smile as she bumped into my shoulder and I stuck my tounge out at her.
"Thank you so much for visiting! Come back anytime" she said as she hugged me and I returned it giving her a tight hug.
"To much love" she said as I squeezed her to tight. I laughed and she did as well, then we both turned to Peter.
"I was wondering when you'd notice me. I'm getting quite jealous, you don't hug me like that when I leave Tigerlily or braid my hair" Peter joked as his eyes moved to the several braids Tigerlily had put in my hair with beads and several pieces of string intertwined in them.
"Grow your hair out stupid boy and you'll get your wish" Tigerlily joked. They both childishly stuck their tongues out at each other. (AN: Omg so this is random and I know i'm interuppting my own story but while I'm typing this a commercial for bacon bowls just came on :O BACON THAT YOU CAN MAKE INTO BOWLS AND HAVE LITTLE SNACKS IN THEM AND THEN EAT THE BOWLS! I MUST HAVE THIS) I walked over to Peter now and he held out his hand to me.
"Can't I just hold onto your arm?" I asked while glaring at Tigerlily as she giggled at the gesture.
"It's not as secure. Unless you would like to swim across a lake full of mermaids again?" he asked. I let out a small groan and grabbed his hand and he smirked at his victory.
"Think happy thoughts now" he gave me a fake smile and I returned it to him as we flew into the air. There was hardly any pixie dust now these days so we only had enough for one person to go across the lake with another person hanging on tightly.
"BYE!" Tigerlily shouted at us as we flew away. I quickly waved at her, and sooner than I realized it, we were back on the other side.
"Thank you for escorting me good sir" I said as I let go of his hand and we continued our walk back to our separate camps.
"Twas no trouble at all my dear lady" he joked back.
"Did I miss anything while I was gone?" I asked. Peter pondered for a moment as if deciding to choose his words carefully.
"We may have gotten a new lost boy" he finally said. I nodded at the statement and stopped as we reached a fork in our path.
"Well take care of yourself" I said as I lightly punched him on the shoulder.
"Don't...run into a tree" he said as he repeated the gesture.
Ok then? I thought as I walked off. When I reached my treehouse I could see that Tink was there, from the light of a candle coming out the window. As I climbed to the top I began to hear several voices. Some of them were even female, which was odd because Tink and I were the only girls on this side of the island, at least I think we were. As I opened up the trap door I was met with several weapons pointed at my face. The owners of them were people I had never seen before. There was a woman with black hair in a pixie cut, a man with blonde hair who looked quite dashing, a woman with long blonde hair who's face almost looked like the woman's with black hair, there was another woman also with black hair but it was cut to her shoulders, and to my surprise Captain Hook was present as well.
I tried to come up with something clever to say that wouldn't show me as a threat. I knew that if I were a brave heroine like the ones that I would see in films all the time I would say something like "Oh Tink I didn't know you had company?" but for some reason all I could say was
"Hi" and it didn't even come out in my normal voice, it came out in a squeak. Tink pushed her way through the small group surrounding me.
"Stand down she's with me" she told them.
"I can second that I've met her before, she's harmless" Captain Hook assured them.
"I take offense to that" I told him as I shut the door behind me. The woman with the shoulder length hair looked at me all funny.
"This is not my day. Clearly everyone who I've ever pissed off is bent on running into me today" she said out loud.
"Do I know you?" I asked. The woman with the pixie cut put a hand on my shoulder and turned me towards her and then looked at me for a moment. The next thing I knew she threw her arms around me.
"I thought you were dead" she told me as she pulled away from me. I just glanced around the room for any help here. This was like going to a parent's work party and getting told by everyone the whole night that they've known you since you were a fetus and you had no clue who they were.
"That advice I gave you a while back, did it help?" Captain Hook asked me.
"Ummmm sort of still confused about why I'm having strange visions but apparently Peter's having them as well, but can I just ask what the hell is going on? WHO ARE YOU-" My mouth was quickly covered by the blonde woman's hand and everyone shhh'd me.
"Listen I'm Emma and right now we are looking for my son. He got captured by Peter Pan and we are trying to get him back before he does something terrible to him. Now do you know Peter Pan?" she asked me.
"Of course I do! I've been trapped on this island for the past couple of weeks because of him! Which boy is yours?" I asked. The had to be the first rescue mission ever done on Neverland. Not saying I wasn't beginning to enjoy my stay here but the thought of someone's family coming to rescue a lost boy warmed my heart and I felt the urge to help them.
"Henry" the woman with the short hair jumped in now. I tried to search through my head of all the boys I had met but I couldn't recall any boy named Henry.
"He must be the new lost boy Peter told me about earlier" I told them.
"Have you seen him? " the blonde man asked.
"No I've been gone the last few days" this then made me now I realize why I had been gone the last few days. It had been Peter who had so graciously helped me get across the river,when I said I wanted to go visit Tigerlily, and not to mention he had been so strangely nice the last couple of days. He had wanted me gone because he knew that I would have intervened when this so called plan went down.
"That git" I snapped to no one in particular.
"So you'll help us?" the blonde haired man asked.
"We can take you home when this is all over" Emma promised. Why was I hesitating it wasn't like I had made a blood oath the attractive bugger.
"I can help you as much as I can" I promised.
After spending an hour or so in Tinkerbell's tree house the rescue party began to head back to their hidden camp. Killian Jones took a look back at Regina as she lagged behind and he stopped for a moment to let her catch up to him and then grabbed her arm to get her attention.
"What?" she asked in an annoyed tone.
"You and I both know that you wiped that girl's memory long ago but that doesn't mean you can't give them back" he told her. Regina let out a sigh as she ripped her arm out of Killian's grasp.
"You think I didn't think of that the moment I saw her?" she reprimanded him.
"Then why won't you? Everyone else from your home has their memories back why can't she?" he asked.
"Why are you pushing this?" Regina asked curiously.
"Because I have an idea that might help us all get off this island safely" he leaned towards her. Regina smiled at him. How could he be so stupid to think that was possible.
"Really?" she asked entertaining herself now.
"Surely you know who Peter Pan truly is?" Killian asked her. Regina bit her lip. Of course she knew who the boy truly was but for some reason the last time they met, he didn't seem to recollect their last meeting.
"Yes I do" Regina whispered truthfully.
"Then you know of his affections for the girl"
"How do you know all of this?"
"Not important at the moment, lets just steer this back to my plan. Now if you give the girl her memories back she'll remember her feelings for Pan, and as I can guess, they'll add to the affection she has towards him now. So with her remembering her past life all she has to do is kiss Pan and then we can safely go back to Storybrooke" he explained. Regina crossed her arms in disbelief at how insane that plan sounded.
"Why do you think her kissing Pan could fix all of this?" Regina asked.
"True love's kiss can break anything can't it? Surely even just a small memory charm?"
"It's possible, but even if it did work and you're saying they both get their memories back, I'm pretty sure the most it'll do is make them bloodthirsty and then they'll kill me"
"Not so long ago though, another certain monster kissed a beauty that he found true love with and look how much that changed him" Killian reminded her as he referenced the relationship between Belle and Rumple.
"How was Pan's memory erased?" Regina asked.
"That's a story for another time love. Think of my plan this way though no blood, no death, no harm towards Henry, and we all go back to Storybrooke" Killian summarized for her as began to catch back up with the group. Once he was a few steps ahead of her he glanced back around to find Regina contemplating the idea for a moment and then she spun back around and headed back towards the treehouse.
"I'll meet up with you later" she assured him.
"You sure you'll be safe?" Killian asked. Regina smirked at him as a small fireball lit in her hands and she gave him her old and infamous Evil Queen smile.
"I can handle it"
I was just about to settle into bed until there was a knock on the trap door. Tinkerbell was already asleep so I didn't want her to wake up before the person knocked again. I opened the door without asking who it was, and then mentally kicked myself knowing I would have to start doing that since I was now apart of "Operation Cobra Rescue Mission". When I looked down I saw Regina and she had a little ball of light in her hand to illuminate a little bit of the room so we could see each other.
"I need you to come with me" she whispered. I got a nervous lump in my throat. Since I now knew who everyone in the rescue party was, I kind of found it a bit scary to go for a midnight stroll with the Evil Queen.
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask. She gave me a look that honestly reminded me of a look my mom would give me to make me do what she wanted me to do. I knew from several occasions that, that was a look you always wanted to obey to.
I mean she can't possibly be bad now right? She's on a rescue mission with her worst enemy, or former worst enemy I guess so she must have changed I told myself. I followed her as she led the way through a hidden trail with her little floating light as a guide. Her floating light almost reminded me of the will of a wisps that I would see in those visions.
"Soooo where are we going?" I asked.
"If you tell Pan where I'm taking you. I'll cut your ginger locks off and give you Snow's haircut and worse" she threatened.
"And my little dog too?" I joked to myself and I heard her chuckle at that.
"I don't make idiotic threats like that! That's an entirely different villain that you don't want to mess with" she advised.
"I'll remember that!"
"We're going to my camp. What I'm going to do to you is gonna be a bit overwhelming and you'll most likely have questions that won't wait till the next time we meet" she explained. Well that didn't make things better knowing that she was going to do something to me.
"What are you going to do?" I asked and before me I saw a light and Regina extinguished hers as I realized it was a campfire. Keeping guard over the camp was Emma and she gave me a funny look as I walked in with Regina. I just gave her a confused look back not really knowing why I was here yet.
"I'm going to give you back some of your memories. Not all of them because some of your memory is a bit hard to unlock and you'll have to do that by yourself, but I'm just going to help you remember some of the important things" Regina explained to both me and Emma.
"Whoa wait! So you're saying that those funny little visions I've had in my head are actually of me? I'm actually a sassy Scottish princess with kick ass archery skills?" I asked.
"Which one?" Emma asked.
"Merida! There was a movie, and it was AWESOME! You didn't see it?" I asked her.
"I was a bit busy breaking a curse and other...things" she smiled at me.
"Oh I understand" I joked with her. Regina gave me a warm smile.
"So you'll let me do this then?" she asked.
"It's not gonna change who I am right?" I asked her.
"It might and it might not. It might be something you can learn from" she said sounding very wise.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked. She gave me a look and I knew she was mentally saying You're full of questions aren't you?
"This might be a way we can save Henry" she told me. I raised an eyebrow at that statement. How could me remembering who I was, help save Henry?
"I'll explain later" she assured me as she placed both of her hands on the side of my head.
"Close your eyes and clear your mind" she advised. There was no turning back now so I did as she said and then I felt a weird jolt go through me and I suddenly began to drift off.
Ok that's it for now hope you liked it! Please review if you did and I'm going to do the thank yous next chapter! Have a magical day!
