This is a short chapter that i decided to post early. I hope you like it. Sorry for any spelling errors. :D Thanks for reading


"Where are they" Regina screamed, purple magic crackling around her. She was currently pacing her office surrounded by Emma, Gold, Snow, Charming, and Bell.

"There is no trace" Gold said lightly, not acting at all perturbed. "They must have used powerful cloaking spells."

"You're the dark one" Emma hissed. "You're supposed to be more powerful than anyone.

"And I am Dearie" He said, cockily. "Except for one man" He added.

"Then you're useless" Emma growled.

"I apologies Dearie" he said with no sympathy in his tone. "But my father was already nearly unstoppable and now that he has the heart of the truest believer beating in his chest, His magic will be more powerful than ever." The only sound in the room was Regina's uncontrolled Magic.

"How can you act this way?" The savior asked him. "My son is out there with a demon and you don't even seem to care."

"As painfully it is to say, I agree with Swan" Regina piped in. "He's you're grandson. You should care what happened to him." The old man raised an eyebrow.

"Have you stopped to consider" He said lightly. "That I have Henry's best interest t heart and you all are mistaken?"

"No" the two woman said at once.

"He's our son and we have the right to protect him" Regina growled. The older man just shook his head.

"I truly am sorry." He said, standing up. "But I cannot help you anymore."

"Traitor" Snow shouted, surprising all of them. Jumping to her feet the woman advanced on Gold. "You are…"

"You most of all must understand me" He interrupted. That caught them all off guard and Marry Margret just stared at him.

"What if you father had told you, you couldn't be with your true love?" He asked.

"That's completely different" she hissed at him.

"Is it?" He asked.

"Yes" Emma told him, her voice low and threatening. "Pan is a monster and will stop at nothing to abduct my son."

"Yet I have proof they are each other's true loves" He said, pulling from his pocket a glowing bottle with two hairs in it. "You can make your assumptions but this magic doesn't lie. These boys are in love and they will be together." He looked at the group around him. "You all would fight to stay with the ones you love so why not him?"

"Henry" Peter smiled, waking up to the other boy in his arms.

"Morning" Henry said, leaning in to kiss the other boy. They stay like that until the other boys began to stir. After the last boy opened his eyes Peter stood.

"Today is our first day on the run" he called out. "We'll have some of the best trackers and most powerful sorcerers after us." A murmur went through the crowd. "But we are strong. We will find a way to get back home and we will be safe." Most of the boys nodded in agreement.

"But how are we going to get back" asked a boy. Peter frowned and thought.

"The Dark One" Henry interrupted, standing up, next to peter. "If anyone can find a way there he can."

"But he's after us" Peter said. "He'll bring us straight to your mothers." Henry shook his head.

"Didn't you see him? He didn't act angry. Everyone else chased us but he followed behind. If he wanted to get us he could move faster than any of the others. I know Mr. Gold and I know he will help us."

"That's a pretty big jump" Peter said calmly. "I don't think it's a good idea." Henry sighed and sat back down. Henry knew he was right and he knew they wouldn't have enough time to think of another option." So he made his decision. It was a bit rash but he knew this was the right choice. He could feel it in his bones.

That days the boys sat in a circle throwing out ideas. Henry gave a few of his own but none of their ideas would work. It seemed that the only way to get to Neverland was by magic bean or Pan's old shadow. One of the boys asked why his new shadow couldn't bring them and Peter explained that his old shadow wasn't an actual shadow but the guardian of Neverland.

"We don't have another option" Henry whispered to peter as the sun went down. "We need Gold." Pan sighed but didn't argue. They lay down together just as the night before but this time Henry only faked sleep. He waited for Peter's breathing to even out and when he finally knew the other boy was asleep he slipped away.

Henry silently made his way through the trees. He knew his way and could get to Gold and back before anyone even knew he was gone.
