I woke up on the hammock, Pan kneeling next to me, a cold wash cloth dabbing my forehead. I tried to sit up, but he pushed me back down, "Rest, please. Your memories are coming back faster than I expected."
"Why do you want me to remember? I already know who you are." I grabbed the cloth from his hands and laid it on my forehead.
"Do you remember who I was before Grannies?" I felt the hammock shift as he sat by my feet.
"The only thing I remember before Grannies was magic lessons."
"BUt not your childhood or mother?"
"No, I haven't seen her in any of my memories yet. Just her voice once.'
"That's why. You deserve to know you life."
"I still don't understand why I can't remember."
"You will soon."
I yawned and stretched, "Can you leave me alone?" I felt him rise from the hammock and heard the door close.
I laid in silence, the wash cloth covering my forehead and eyes. I couldn't figure out how long I laid there, but it must have been at least two hours as the boys outside had quieted down. I heard the door click and footsteps enter. I rose, letting the washcloth all into my lap. Henry shuffled in, a bowl in his hands. "Is Pan in here?"
"No I don't think so, why?"
"Listen," He set the bowl on the table. "My family is here, we can leave!"
"If Pan finds out, he's going to kill them. I need to go find them and help them. How do you know there here?"
"They captured Rufio when he was out hunting and he brought me a mirror, I saw both my moms and grandmother."
"Thats your rescue party? I really need to go before they get killed out there. Are the boys outside distracted?"
He nodded, "Sleeping."
"Good," I rose from my seat, "I'm going to go find your family. I'll help them get here and then we're leaving, okay?" He nodded again. "Go back outside and sleep, you'll need your strength."
He left, keeping the door cracked so I could listen outside. I waited until Henry was asleep, opening the door wider to slip through. I glanced around, no Pan in sight, I crawled over the sleeping bodies, the fire in the middle still smoldering. I trekked into the forest, trying to be as silent as I could.
The farther I hiked, the darker and denser the woods became. I hugged myself, cursing that i forgot my hoodie back in the clearing, If I did it once, I can do it again. I closed my eyes and rose my hands in front of me, imagining my hoodie in them, the maroon fabric and the warm black fleece. My hand started to feel weighed down, the fabric feeling familiar on my skin. I opened my eyes and saw that it was my jacket. I quickly slipped it on, hearing rustling in the woods.
I slid down the tree, a fireball crashing where my head was a second ago. Screaming, I covered my head as three women crowded me, one with a fireball in her hand, one with a bow pulled taught aimed at my heart, and the other with a sword.
"Who are you?" The one with the sword took a step closer, jabbing it closer.
I was shaking all over, "I'm Kendra, Kendra Rowland. Please don't hurt me, I'm just trying to help Henry."
The women lowered their weapons, the blonde that had the sword knelt next to me, "You know Henry?" I feebly nodded. She stood, grabbing my hand and lifting me with her.I brushed off my jeans, "I'm Henry's mother. Did he end you to find us?"
"Yeah, he said if I find you guys you could help us escape."
The pixie haired woman offered her hand, "I'm Mary Margaret, Henry's grandmother. This is Emma," She gestured to the blonde, "My daughter and his mother. And this is Regina," Pointing at the black haired woman, "His adoptive mother."
We heard rustling again, "Come on, we need to get back to camp." Emma grasped my shoulder, MAry moving in front of me, Emma and Regina behind me.
When we got back to camp, we sat around the fire. They were asking questions about Pan's camp, none of which I could answer. Since I was no hope, Emma, Mary, David, Regina, and Hook started planning by themselves. I stayed by the fire, running through my new memories. I noticed everyone else has gone silent, I glanced around, noticing them all standing brandishing their weapons. Pan stood on the other side of the clearing, leaning against a tree, smirking at us. "Well, isn't this just a grand family reunion! Mother and daughter finally together after so many years."
"Leave Mary Margaret and Emma alone!" I shot up from my seat.
He chuckled and stepped forward, "Oh, I wasn't talking about them, love. Am I Regina?"
