Hi, sorry it took so long usually I write the chapters closer together but last chapter I had no choice but to go almost completely canon and it didn't work out well and the chapter was twice as long as I usually make them and I got a two week long writers block.

David sliced through the foliage, "the ridge is just a couple paces ahead," he called back.

Sara heard Emma talking to him but she didn't listen. It was hot, really really hot.

"Hey," Snow said, "you don't look so good."

"Yeah," Sara said, "I don't like being in weather above 27 degrees".

"Well," Snow said, "you didn't choose the right place, it's like a tropical jungle here".

"Your right," Sara agreed, "but I also have a bad feeling about this place".

"Hook's right", Emma said, 'he knows this place better than we do".

"Here", Mary Margaret said to Emma handing her a canteen, "we need to stay hydrated".

"Thanks, Mary Margaret," Emma said taking a swing.

"You know", Snow said, "Mary Margaret is a bit formal. You can call me Mom, if you want. You've done it before".

"That was- back then-", Emma stuttered.

"When we were about to die", Snow finished, " No, no I get it".

Emma walked on.

That was abnormally awkward.

"No! No", Hook shouted.

David said something that Sara couldn't hear from the back of the group.

"It's Dreamshade", Hook said, his voice trailed on.

Why can't Emma just accept Snow as her mother, Sara thought. I know it's strange that she's the same age as you but at least she and David have an extremly good reason for sending her away, the curse would have never have been broken and Emma would have been a newborn baby for the past 28 years.

Sara exhaled as they started walking again.

I mean come on she herself said that she had always dreamed of having a mother and now she has one who is also her best friend. Just accept the truth.

Sara stopped suddenly having almost bumped into Hook and Emma.

"So your father is a distrustful fellow", Hook said.

"He's just not used to working with the bad guys," Emma said.

"Trust me," Hook said, "on this island I am not the bad guy".

"Well," Emma started, "Peter Pan isn't supposed to be one either".

They started walking again.

"What gave you that idea," Hook said.

"Every story I ever heard as a child," Emma answered.

"They got it wrong. Pan is the most treacherous villain I ever faced."

Hook stopped her.

"Tell me something, love," he said, "in these stories, what was I like? Other than a villain. Handsome I gather".

"If waxed mustaches and perms are your thing," Emma said and started walking again.

"I take it by your tone that perms are bad," Hook called after her.

"They are," Sara said continuing past him.

"Up here!" David shouted, "we made it".

Sara stepped up to the edge, all she could see was jungle jungle and more jungle.

"Pan's lair should be right..." Hook trailed off.

"Where?" Regina demanded, "all I see is jungle".

No kidding.

"Aye," Hook said as he looked through his telescope, "The Dark Jungle. It has uh grown somewhat since I last set foot in Neverland."

"So this nature hike was for nothing," Regina said.

"Hook may have led us astray," David said, "but at least we're in a good position to start combing the jungle."

"Not exactly," Hook said, "The Dark Jungle is the last place you'd want to set foot. We'll have to go around it and to do that we will need our strength. I suggest we make camp."

"You want to sleep while my son is suffering?" Regina asked angrily.

"If you want to live long enough to save the boy," Hook said, "yes."

"Well," Sara said, "it's a good thing I brought this then."

She took a bottle of bug spray out of her pocket.

"What is that?" Hook asked.

"It's bug spray," Sara said, "it repels bugs."

"And why exactly did you bring that, Sara?" Regina asked.

Sara looked to see if she was joking.

"To repel bugs," she answered.

Regina chuckled and everyone else smiled.

"Very funny," David said.

They all trekked towards a clearing.

Sara stuffed the bug spray back into her pocket.

"That wasn't a joke," she muttered.

Sara stood in a dark void swirling with blackness.

She heard wailing and children crying.

"Hello," she called out, "where are you."

She tried to feel around but the darkness was so thick she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.

The crying got louder and Sara started breathing heavily unable to do anything.

"Hello!" She cried.

Then the floor disappeared from under her and she went tumbling down into endless darkness.

Sara opened her eyes and sat straight up.

She felt sweaty.

The dream faded away but the crying stayed. She looked around no one was there.

"Guys, wake up,".

Sara looked across the clearing and saw Emma on her feet her sword at hand.

"Do you hear that?" Sara asked.

"Yeah," Emma nodded, "where is it coming from?"

"I don't know."

Emma started to head out of the clearing, Sara slung her quiver on her back, grabbed her bow and followed.

They headed through the jungle suddenly Sara heard a swishing sound behind her.

"You hear that too?" came a voice.

Sara spun around nocking an arrow in her bow.

A boy was leaning against a tree.

"Your Emma, right?" He asked.

"Who are you?" Sara demanded.

"I wonder why they can't hear the crying," he continued.

"Who are you?" Emma said threateningly.

"Oh, did I forget to introduce myself," he said, "I'm Peter, Peter Pan".

Emma ran and pinned him up against the tree with her sword against his throat.

"Where's Henry?" she said.

"You've got fire," Pan said, "I like fire."

Sara made a coughing/laughing/snorting noise. (Which is really hard when you have an arrow strung on a bow).

"You think that's funny," he said, "what are you doing here anyway."

"Where's my son!" Emma demanded.

"Henry's still alive, if that's what your worried about," Pan said.

Sara looked at him hard, "Emma," she said, "you need to kill him."

Emma looked back, "what?"

"Henry may still be alive now," Sara said, "but he won't be for long if you don't kill this stupid idiot!"

Emma turned back to Pan, "why did you take him?"

"Henry's a very special boy, Emma," he said completely unfazed by their conversation.

"I know," Emma said, "that doesn't answer my question. What do you want with him?"

"I came here to see who I was up against," Pan said, " 'The Savior' got to say, I'm not disappointed."

"What are you going to say now?" Emma said, "your going to tell me that I'm never going to see Henry again."

"No, I'm going to help you find him," Pan said, "I'll give you a map."

Emma stepped away and Pan reached into his shirt.

"No!"

Sara stepped in between them and pointed her arrow directly at Pan.

"He doesn't want to help you find Henry, Emma," she said, "if he did then he would just give him back to you. Pan is the one that kidnapped him in the first place and whatever he's trying to do right now is a trick."

"No it's not," Pan said taking out a folded paper.

"It's our best bet, Sara," Emma said, she turned to Pan, "if this is some kind of trap-"

"The path to finding Henry is on this parchment," he said.

"Why are you giving it to me?" Emma asked.

"You see, it's not about finding Henry," Pan said, "it's about how you find him. And Emma, you are the only one who can."

She took the paper.

"No, you can't trust him!" Sara said.

Emma opened the paper, she looked back up, "it's blank."

"You will only be able to read that map," Pan said, "when you stop denying who you really are."

Sara and Emma looked back down at it.

When they looked back up he was gone.

The next day Sara walked into the clearing.

"Magic!" Regina was saying.

Everyone sighed.

"If there's a lock on there," Regina said, "I'll find a way around it," she reached for the paper.

Emma slammed her hand down on it, "Pan said it had to be me."

"I'd listen to Emma, love," Hook said, "breaking Pan's rules would be unwise."

"Sadly, I agree with the pirate," David said.

"I'm winning you over I can feel it," Hook said smiling.

"It doesn't matter," Sara said, "for whatever reason Pan gave us that map even of it does work it will not be in out favour. I suggest you abandon the idea."

"Unfortunately, it's the only thing we have," Regina said, "and using magic on it is a risk I'm willing to take."

"Well, I'm not," Emma said getting up, "if I'm supposed to figure out this thing then I will."

"She'll get there," Snow said.

Sara sighed and sat down on a log.

This is a big mistake.

Sara sat against a tree dozing off when she started awake.

"Regina!" Emma exclaimed.

Sara stood up.

"I'm starting yo think that there isn't a map on here," Regina said holding the paper, "but that doesn't mean it can't lead us to Henry".

She waved her hand over it.

"I thought we decided that using magic is a bad idea," David said.

"For once I agree with the prince," Hook said.

David turned around.

"Well, I told you we were getting along," Hook said shrugging.

"What are you doing?" Emma asked.

"A locator spell," Regina said, "this parchment belonged to Pan, it can lead us to him."

The paper started glowing and it floated away into the jungle.

"So it appears that we will be venturing into the dark jungle after all," Hook said.

"You mean the place you told us never to set foot," Emma said.

"That's the one," Hook answered cheerfully.

"Well Emma, you said you wanted to be the leader," Regina said, "lead."

"He's there," Regina said, "I can feel his smugness."

David took out his sword.

"Shall we," he said, "while we still have the element of surprise on our side."

"Careful," Hook said, "he may look like a boy, but he's a bloody demon."

Okay I'm going to stop here even though I didn't finish the episode because this chapter is already really long and I have been writing for the last two hours so I'm tired. I decided that it was really stupid of everyone to trust Pan's map so I made Sara think that it was a horrible idea, which it was, to use it.
