The disclaimers are the same and I hope you enjoy!


Chapter 12: This Means War

The air is silent. After we had left the cave and decided to settle outside, no one and I mean no one said a word. I wanted to say something I really did but even I knew this wasn't the place for it. I had really wanted to ask Emma what she meant back in that cave, but it wasn't the moment to question. Even Elsa's confesson threw me off.

As of right now we all decided to just go our own way, and I had decided it was better now than later to check on the scratch on my cheek. I had told the others that the scratch had occured from me trying to get away from Pan thus runing into some stray branches, but that was a lie. I kew the moment that Pan had cut me with his poison-laced dagger that this was going to be a game changer.

Finally being far enough away from the group i summoned a mirror into my hand and removed my band-aid from my cheek. I couldn't help the grimace as i noticed the small black veins seemingly growing out of the wound.

''That must have been one dangerous branch.'' Quickly, I turn around to find the handless wonder himself behind me. Putting the band-aid back on I throw him one the deepest glares I can harbor.

''Haven't you ever heard of privacy, because I need it.''

'' Love, you and I both know that whatever 'scatched' you was laced with,'' he ignores me and turns away,making his way back, ''well now I guess my job here is done.''

'' Your job? What sneaking up on people, when your not needed or wanted?"

"No, I came here to tell you to back off of Swan, but now it seems I dont need to. Soon enough when the time comes to leave this damned Island we will have one extra room," Hook gives me a wave before gesturing to our surronding, " try to get used to these woods, theyre about to be your new home, you majesty."

As soon as he leaves I fall down onto a nearby log, and drop my head into my hands. Trying to control the tears from falling, I take a quick breather. How am I going to tell everyone that I cant freakin leave? how do I tell Henry and Rachel that they are about to lose a mother?

Atleast with Henry he has Emma but Rachel? Rachel and I just found each other and now I have to leave her again without a mother.

I spend a good amount of time just thinking and planning only to come up with nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Ugh.

Finally I stand and I notice that the sky has grown slightly darker, meaning that it is time to head back. I take my time to not only fix my appearence but to also prevent the inevitable.

Unfortunately I made it back in no time . I head straight to Rachel and Tinks side right next to the small fire place. I avoid the puppy dog eyes from both Emma and Elsa, including the death glares from the Charming's and the unwanted suitors of Emma.

"Hey Mom, I was wondering when I would see you again." Rachel says,the smile on her face not meeting her eyes. She is probably still a little bit traumatized from earlier. I throw an arm around her shoulder and pull her in close.

"Mom?"

"Shhhhh. Dont question it just let me have this right now." She accepts and wraps her arms around me. I revel in this moment not wanting this to end just yet. But fate doesnt agree, Tink taps on my shoulder.

"Sorry Regina, but it's time. We strike tonight or we dont strike at all." Nodding my acknowledgment I peel myself off from Rachels side and take one long calming breath no matter what Im getting my son back.


We stick close to the shadows, Im at the lead with Emma on right, Elsa to my left and Rachel right behind me. The Charmings flank from across, while the suitors and Tink go from above much to Hooks dismay.

We're getting closer to Pan and the others, I can feel his magic as we take steps closer. I get my magic ready and Elsa follows,we know this is gonna be one hell of a fight.

A twig crack in the distance and I motion for my group to crouch down behind our green covering. we pause. Not hearing any other movement I decide to be the first to take a peek. All around me is darkness no matter where I look. I can faintly see the outline of nearby trees.

looking straight across and focusing I can just barely make out Charming, thankfully they had the same idea as us. Another twig cracks and both charming and I turn to the sound and again seeing nothing.

The forest is still.

Suddenly a loud howl breaks out from the dark and lights- no fires appear. They're arrows ,and they are heading straight for us.

"COVER!" I scream. Conjuring up shield around us, Elsa conjures up on of her own above the Charming's. We completely forget about our allies above. When we do remember it is too late.

There is a yelp from above and I focus just in time to watch as a figure falls from the tree branch. There a thud and loud female groan. Tinkerbelle has fallen.


Rachel POV

I listen in horror to the sounds of the attack. As soon as we had realized that Tinkerbelle had been shot we sprung from our hiding spots and right into battle. Mom was the first to strike.

Like the veteran that she is, mom sprung out a full fledged fireball in her hand. She struck the first archer, blasting the young lost boy back and into the tree behind him. Before the boy even hit the tree another fireball was made and thrown at another archer. Soon all seven archers were out and mom was now working on the pack of lostboys approaching.

Some had tried to attack me, but before i can even raise my hand to stop them Elsa and Emma had stepped forward preventing their advancement. Elsa freezes the boys feet as Emma comes up and knocks them unconcious with the newly summoned wooden sword, curtesy of Mom.

For the first time in forever, the two knuckle heads are working together and Oh my Barbra was it amazing. Watching them dance across the forest floor as blasts of fire sprouts from moms hand in the background. It makes me wish I had my phone.

Now its my turn, I jump straight into the brawl and make eye contact with my first opponent with a flick of my wrist the lost boy is suspended in the air, I notice another one trying to sneak up on me so I throw the floating lost boy right into his comrade.

There was no time to rest as ten more enemy came up to base , I took a page out of moms book and summoned my own flames around me. The ring of fire stopped their approach for now. The flames backfired though because soon the fire begins moving closer and closer to myself. Dang it!

"OH cmon! This cannot be happening." I try and try to will the fire away to avail and I can't help thinking how ironic this situation is. I can just hear the stories now "The Evil Queens daughter caught herself on fire!"

Out of no where a strong gust of wind breaks through the fire and lifts me up and out of danger. Mom had once again saved me from myself.

"Rachel head towards the camp! Thats where theyre keeping Henry and Quinn!" She didnt have to tell me twice. I sprint in the direction the lostboys came from, moving my little diva legs as fast as I can and dodging bodies left and right.

Standing on a clear path I take a moment to catch my breath, the sounds of war behind me. I follow the path straight down and there it is. The camp. I head in hands ready to pop a shield up if need be.

Huts are propped up in a circle surrounding the huge bonfire, the trees filled with little tree houses and hand made toy lay spread out on the ground. I decide to enter the first tent but find nothing. After 10 huts I am about ready to head back cause clearly Henry and Quinn weren't here. Only one more left.

I head to the biggest hut in the circle, clearly it's a gathering place for the lost boys to regroup. I head in and finally signs of life. I can't take it in fast enough because as soo entered the hut something hit my head. Hard.

i fall to ground with a thud, I can hear a few gasps and what seems to be my name but I ignore it and ignite a flame I'm just about to throw it at my attacker until I see exactly who said attacker is.

"Q-Quinn?!"

"Oh my God! Rachel?" Quinn falls to the ground next to me and I immediately throw my arms around her. We embrace each other and I just take a moment to take in her scent. She is still in the same yellow sundress and for being stuck on an island for a few days her hair is still still smells like Quinn.

I feel another figure run up to me and I take in another body. Henry wraps his arm tight around my neck and I return the hug ten folds. I open my eyes once again after closing them in joy and it's then that I take in what I saw before the hit.

There behind Henry is around a dozen younger boys, they all look around the age of 4 or 6, nothing like the ones we were fighting outside. I make to summon a fire but Henry seems to recognize the movement and lays his hand in mine.

" Don't worry, they're not like the others. They are the newbies of the group, the ones just recently all got thrown into this tent with us, they can't fight." Henry says.

"Yes these one are not yet like the others, I don't think Pan got to them yet," Quinn adds in, "they let us out Rachel in hopes that we'll help them get outta here."

i take another look at the boys and notice how every single one seems to flinch at me. They're scared and I know that I can't just leave them here. With a sigh I finally stand my arm still around Henry and Quinn.

"Fine they can come but first we need to get out of this damned camp."

"That is easier said then done." We all jump at the sound of a new voice. We turn to the sound.

There standing in the middle of the doorway is a youngg teen around my age. A girl with flaming red hair with a streak in itand icy pale skin. She's stunning and yet she strikes fear down my spine. I take a step forward proving my ground.

"And who the heck are you?" The girl smirks at me, a cold heartless smirk.

"My name is Wendy, Wendy Darling."
