Extra long chapter for some extra special readers! I admit I've been rather preoccupied with some new tv shows but I'm getting into the groove so let's keep this short!

I don't own glee, OUAT or Disney.

Enjoy guys and gals!

Chapter 11: Confess

"Neal was captured?!" Emma's outburst startles Rachel causing her to spill more alcohol onto my wounded cheek. Soon Elsa is next to me a small snow ball in her hand, she presses it against my cut and I kept myself from letting out another yelp of pain.

"Emma chill. You can't tell me you didn't expect this to happen, Neal and Rumple both left of their own accord. Rumple could survive but Neal? He never stood a chance against Pan." Elsa say calmly, not in the mood to start anything with the already hot-headed blonde.

"So what else did he say, mom?" I wince as Rachel removes the ice from my face and begins to place a bandage on it. I should have been more careful when dealing with Pan.

"He said-"

" Ive had a little run in with your "rescue team" earlier today, and may I just say I was very surprised to see that you got Rumple to join in all this fun?!"

"Get on with it Pan, I haven't got all day." The young immortal shakes his head and reaches to his side, its then that I notice the dagger hanging there. I try to move again but its useless. I look around and find no explanation to my immobility and then it hits me. I turn my gaze down to the floor, the sight is horrifyingly haunting. My shadow lays there on the floor with hands from different figures wrapped around my legs. Feeling a bead of sweat drip own my face, I can do nothing but wait.

"Aren't adults supposed to be polite?" Pan stretches his dagger towards my face, tracing the outline of my mouth with the tip. I can do nothing but stand there and wait.

"Get on with it Pan!" I say through gritted teeth trying to avoid pitting pressure on the wound. Even I know that one little prick could have me trapped on this damned island.

"This game is actually very simple," he pulls the blade back, " I'm giving you back a member of your team! Neal I believe you call him now."

"Hah! You can keep him." I could careless about Henry's sperm donor. "Why are you giving us back that idiot anyway? That's just one more person for our team?"

"Let's just say getting him back won't be easy... But to push you more into finding him, this Neal will be your only ticket out of here-"

"What?!" My cheek burns and I feel something warm make its way down. It's blood. My blood is dripping from my face.

"Rudeness is a big pet peeve for me. Interrupt me again and I'll make sure my friends nails dig deeper in. Anyway find the man get off the island it's very simple."

"Where can I find him?"

"Echo cave? He said Echo cave?! Well bloody hell!" Hook paces back and forth while the others excluding Tink and I stare at him in confusion.

Elsa is the first to speak.

"what is Echo cave?" Hook gives her a surprised look which soon becomes one of annoyance. It's not her fault really, Elsa has always been a sheltered child so of course she hadn't heard the stories. I am surprised that Snow and Charming had never heard of this though.

"Echo cave is a basteredly place where I had lost many of my men. It brings out our deepest secrets and pits us against one another. I say we leave poor Baelfire there for now."

"You know we can't." I say. I glance to Emma who has been silent for too long, Ill never understand what is going throught that head of 's eyes meet mine and I can't help but admire the sparkle there, or more like a flame forming behind her eyes.

"Pack up we leave for Echo cave. Now."

We arrive at the caver ought before sun down. Emma had rushed us to pack up and pushed us through with Tink at her side. With no breaks it's no wonder all of us were exhausted. Elsa and Rachel breathed heavily beside me neither of them used to so much walking.

The heat of the day didn't help at all. I'm greatful for Elsa's ice magic but soon even she was too dehydrated to keep up my personal flurry.

Hook had explianed to us during our trek exactly what we must do once we enter the cave and it was stressing us all out. We all would have to spill out deepest secrets to one another in order to not only free Neal but to ensure our own safety.

I had a hard time thinking of a secret or atleast one I thought was my darkest. I never thought about my darkest secret before because ive been trying forget all those moments.

Soon enough we are walking into the cave I take Rachel's hand into mine as we descend down deeper into the cave. We stop as we reach the edge of the walkway, the opening closes behind us as the cave lights up revealing a very beaten up Neal in a cage in the middle of the cave.

"Who wants to go first?" As each of our secrets would be spilled the walkway would continue to Neal and he would be free.

Hook goes first.

"I am in love with Emma." All eyes are on him and I can't help rolling mine but the walkway appears drawing back our attention. Tink steps forward.

"I hate Regina," well ouch that hurt. Tink locks her gaze with mine and continues," No matter how much you hurt me with your betrayal, I can't seem to stop thinking of you as my best friend. I can't stop loving you and hoping to redeem our friendship and for that I hate you." Another piece of the walkway appears.

I step to Tink and pull her into my embrace we hold each other for a moment and I take that moment to whisper my apologizes and promises into her ear. I take no notice to Snow stepping up.

"I want another child!" The room goes silent. I turn to Snow than to Emma and I can't help the feeling of rage. How dare she say this! Especially in front of Emma. Poor Emma who looks as if she just had her heart ripped out and crushed. Snow goes on to explain but I drown her out. Even as Charming confesses the fact that he was attacked and couldn't leave the island my mind was on Emma.

Now Rachel stepped forward and I tried to focus only on her.

"I-I tried... I tried to kill myself..." You could here a pin drop and I can do nothing but stare at Rachel.

"It was.. It was about 2 years ago. I was a second year in high school. And -and I was just so tired with the bullying! I hated every single day of school and I had no friends... And I remember just thinking- really thinking what of I just ended it now.. Wh-what i-if I just died? So I got a rope and... I would have died if not for Dad and Daddy coming home early."

Tears run down her face and I grab her hand and clutch it tight. We take a break from confessions to calm down Rachel who is sobbing on Tinks shoulder, seeing as I had become a crying mess as well.

After everything calms down, we agree to move on. Emma had taken to standing by me and away from Snow still hurt after the 'another child' mishap. Elsa is next. I expect something from her past, something about Anna...boy was I wrong.

"Im in love with Regina."

"W-what?" I question. Never had I thought this would be her deepest secret I mean we had history but...

"Our history is complicated...I know this but Regina from that moment our lips met all those years ago I knew...I just knew you were the one for me. I knew I loved you."

"But you sent me away, Elsa. You said we couldn't be together. We both agreed that o should leave..."

"What was I supposed to say? That I loved you after only a few days of knowing you? I was scared! My powers were all I had besides my sister and with her gone I had nothing but my damn powers! Than you came along and I just...I just didn't want to give up hope about Anna...I felt like I was losing her when I was with you."

We share a look and and understanding is communicated though that look. We would need to talk about this soon. Now it's between Emma and I and we only need one more piece of the walkway left.

I take a deep breathe and step up. I try to keep a straight look on my face.

"I afraid of becoming like my mother. It is my worst fear above everything else... I don't want to fall in love because I'm afraid that my mother was right to say that love is weakness...but at the same time some small childish part of me wants to be loved and to love someone else."

We waited for the path to appear but none showed up, I don't understand. Wasn't that my deepest secret, the thing I didnt want anyone to know?

"Gina that isn't a secret, it's a fear. You need to think."

"I am... I just don't know."

"Well figure it out Regina!" I'm taken back at Snow outburst and I don't hesitate to send her a glare.

"Well I'm sorry that I don't feel up to looking into my feelings!"

"Well if we can do it you can! How about we talk about my father?! How about we talk about how we all know YOU were behind his murder!"

"Oh yes let's talk about that man! My husband who I was forced to marry, a man who was twice my age? The man who took me and took me night after night, even against my will...while he whispered his dead wife's name! The man who pushed me to try to drop off my own balcony! Let's talk about him shall we?!"

I was breathing hard now and I could see that they were not expecting any of this, especially Snow. She looked like wanted to cry either from the loss of my innocence or the loss of the image of her dear father. A sound from behind me pulls me back and we watch as the bridge is completed.

Emma looks to me and she seems torn wether to console me or free Neal, but I shake my head and she understands that right now I just need space. Rachel takes my hand as Emma turns and runs to Neal.

Emma drops to her knees I front of the cage and pulls at the door but it doesn't budge. It seems we still needed to here one more confession. It's as if Emma can read my thoughts because she begins.

"Neal you were the love of my life...and I thought you were the one for me," Neal smiles and I feel nauseous at the site, " but Neal that's just it. I don't love you anymore and I never will because I think I'm falling for someone else."

Strike the last thing I said the grin from Hook is what REALLY makes me sick. Neal doesn't seem to take this well as he glares straight at the pirate.

"It's him isn't it?" Emma keeps his gaze but soon shakes her head.

"No it's not him...it's Regina."

Wow I never would have thought anyone would be in love with the pirate! I mean list I can understand but love?... Wait..WHAT DID SHE SAY?!

Halfway done with the next chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed! R&R for more!
