I sat at the beach with a fire beginning to start hoping I would see the ship come back, but I knew deep down I wouldn't want it to come back. I just want Aurora and Jane to have their best chance. I sighed a bit bored and exhausted of the days that had passed. So much adrenaline, stress, fear, and emotions had passed I could feel my head spinning a bit. I laid down trying to close my eyes or even relax, but the unrelenting thoughts of never going back home kept poking in my mind. What am I to do? Live my life on this island? Or fight trying to find a way back? I rolled in my spot trying to find a comfortable spot, but quite frankly nothing was comfortable anymore. Suddenly, I heard footsteps walk toward me. I didn't want to deal with Lost Boys at the moment, so I unsheathed my sword ready to strike the first thing I set my eyes on. I sprang up and swung down on whatever was there, but a swirl of purple smoke appeared as soon as I swung. My sword hit the sandy ground as I stood dumbfounded. What was that?! I turned my body around and saw Rumplestiltskin standing in my way. "What do you want?" I asked not even putting my guard up. I didn't care for him anymore, the hole in my heart had no room for the hatred for him. "You don't even want to scold me, Deary?" Gold asked sneering his words. I rolled my eyes standing in my spot. "You're no fun." Rumple said sitting down in my previous spot. "We're both stuck on this island, forever." I stayed standing looking at him confused. "Yes...?"

"Is that a affirmative yes? It sounds hesitant."

"Yes!" I shouted annoyed with his joking replies already. "Are you sure?" He asked looking at me with confidence, "You don't seem too confident-"

"Yes! Hook had told me-"

"He didn't tell you that I have an antidote."

"An antidote?!"

"Of course I never told him..."

"Gold! The antidote?!" I asked hastily wanting to hear, for once, his words. "Yes. An antidote, but I will not give it over for nothing. I need a deal."

"What's the deal?" I asked a bit worried of his deals. I knew his deals would never go right, but I was in an intense situation. "You Deary, have to do only one thing." He smiled crookedly explaining his deal, "You cannot be with Aurora when we go back home." I furrowed my brows thinking his deal was complete stupidity, but I had to think Why can I not be with Aurora? Peter Pan is finished...

Rumple grinned as he explained more of the details. "You cannot be with her when I save you all, You will have to say, 'I will not be with Aurora' that's all." Rumple said standing now chuckling, his hand outstretched for a deal to be made. I looked down at his hand then glancing at my own I say those words? They're just words...besides, he can't really stop Aurora and I... I gave a smile knowing I could easily move around his deal. "Fine. I will not be with Aurora." I shook his hand, but it was weird. I felt electricity pulse up my arm throughout my whole body, but I didn't care. "That Deary," He paused giving a grin, "Was your freedom." He chuckled like the imp he was then disappeared again into thin air. I felt a grin sweep across my face as soon as he left Now to get back home! I started running carelessly across the sandy beach my arms flinging in the air, but I suddenly felt the awful feeling upon me How do I get home...? I stopped so suddenly I almost fell over in the sand. I stood confused thinking of something, anything to get me off. Then I remembered, how did Neal leave...? I paced around the dark shoreline thinking of a plan. He must have...no...maybe he...no... I furrowed my brows frustrated with myself. "How am I suppose to leave...?!" I shouted out into the empty air hoping for a miracle to appear. I sat myself down knowing hoping wouldn't make anything happen. "How...?" I whispered to myself, feeling truly alone.

It was bright and early in the morning, a bit chillier than the other night, but Ruby and Belle barely felt it. Their bodies were wrapped up within each other is seemed like one body at first glance. Ruby tiredly slumped herself out of the warm bed walking into the bathroom to use it. "Close the door..." Belle groaned out turning herself into the covers more. Ruby squinted from her tired eyes and pushed the door somewhat closed. Belle gave a little smile thanking the woman in her mind. "Hurry back in bed." Belle called closing her eyes for some more sleep. All of a sudden, a cell phone began going off. Belle whimpered softly trying to find the phone with her hand, but the taller woman had finished her business and glided the phone from Belle's grasp with her wet, cold hands. Belle flinched looking from the covers, "Your hands are wet!" Before Ruby answered she smartly replied, "These weren't the only things wet!" Ruby laughed finally answering. Belle felt a rush of shyness and embarrassment and hid herself under the covers, from under she heard Red talk. "A what...? Hold on...slow down...a ship? In the sky? Are you sure...okay, okay! Okay! I'll be there in a sec, yes...okay." Belle poked her head from understanding, "What's going on?" Ruby shrugged her shoulders placing the phone back down on the desk, "Grumpy says there's a flying ship in the air heading our way." Ruby strode to the closet looking for something quick to change in. Belle stood up more in the bed watching Ruby look for something unmoved by the news. "What if it's what Tamara was talking about?! What if it's Pan?!" Belle asked with genuine fear in her voice. "If I were Pan-are these yours?" Red asked holding up some dark jeans, Belle shook her head as Ruby began putting the jeans on going back to her response, "If it were Pan I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be flying a giant, noticeable ship." Red walked over to Belle's side placing soft kiss on her forehead before leaving, "I'll call if it's anything serious." Belle nodded as she watched Red walk out the bedroom door and hearing the front door close. Belle laid back down, but the gnawing thought of a flying ship still bothered her, and Tamara's words too. Belle only sat for a few moments, but it felt like years to her. "I have to know what Tamara means!" Belle got out of bed and began readying herself for the Sheriff's station.
