Hi people. THREE MORE DAYS (counting today) UNTIL HALLOWEEN! Thanks to Ayako Zetra for the awesome reviews!
Enjoy!
Chapter 25: Mia
"MIA!"
I fell out of the bed. Everything is so strange here. Take my bed for example. The bed isn't made of wood. It is made out of something that Regina calls plastic.
There was a knock on the door, and Regina came in. I immediately got up.
"It takes forever to wake you up," She said, putting her hands on her hips. "I have called you three times now!"
"Sorry," I said, bowing my head. This lady scared me. The best thing to do is be nice to her.
"Would you like some help with the clothes?" Regina asked nicely.
I help up some blue pants, a very strange looking corset, a shirt, and other strange things.
"Yes please."
Regina taught me how to put the clothes on.
"This is much more comfortable than the stuff my mother and father made me wear." I said, looking at the shirt. The strange corset didn't suffocate me. I think this new place is pretty good.
Regina laughed. "Yep." She took my hand. "Come on, it is time for breakfast. Your uncle is coming by later to take you to Granny's for lunch."
"Thank you," I said. Little did she know that I was going to find Rumplestilskin, and free my boyfriend.
I went downstairs to the kitchen. Henry was already sitting there, waiting for us.
"You look nice today, Mia," He said.
"Thanks?" I said.
"Mom," Henry said. "Can you walk me to Emma's after this?"
Clearly, Regina didn't think Henry was acting strange, so she smiled and said yes.
About the time I finished breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Regina said. She got up and left the room.
About two minutes later, Regina came back in.
"Mia, there are some people there for you," She said, looking a little pissed off.
I got up, went to the door, and gasped.
The lost boys were standing there. All of them, except Felix. They were all in modern clothes, but they were still the trouble makers that Peter and I had to look after.
"Momma!" The younger boys, who's ages ranged from 5-7, came running over, arms outstretched.
They all hugged me, making me fall over. The older boys, who were slightly more mature than the younger ones, helped me up. They then hugged me.
"We missed you," Devin, another lost boy (who is the second oldest), said.
"I missed you too," My voice was barely audible.
Henry stood in the doorway, looking at us. He looked like he was about to cry.
"Wow," He said, looking at me and the boys. "W-you have quite the family."
"Yeah," I said. "They are, and will always be, my true family."
Devin used that moment to pick me up and scare the living daylights out of me, Jared, and a few of the other little lost boys who have never heard me scream.
"Granny says we can throw a small party at her diner," One of the lost boys said. "Will you come?"
I was going to answer, but Hook came in.
"Time to go-what the hell is going on?" Hook asked, taking in the scene. Devin immediately put me down and acted like it never happened.
"I'm just spending time with my family," I said, watching Hook flinch.
"Well, time to go, Mia," Hook said, holding out his hand.
"I will come," I told them, taking Hook's hand and going out the room.
We arrived at Granny's.
"Hook, may I go to the bathroom?" I asked him.
He gave me a strange look, then said yes.
I walked in, went in the direction of the bathrooms, but didn't go into it. Instead, I went straight to the back exit.
"You know, you should rethink your strategy if you want to escape us." Tinkerbelle's voice said behind me.
I slowly turned around. Both Tink and Hook were standing behind me.
"I'm better at sneaking around the woods." I shot back.
"What are you going to do?" Hook asked. "Even if you manage to find Rumplestilskin's shop (which is hard, considering the fact that your don't know his modern name), you will never get Pan gout of that box."
"I planed to break in, get the box, run into the woods, and free him." I said. "And now I need to scrap that plan, because you know it."
Tink grabbed my arm, but a loud scream saved me.
We looked at each other, then ran outside.
"Hook!" Emma said, coming from down the street with Neal, Regina, Henry, Rumple, some woman, and her parents.
"Swan," Hook said.
"Where did it come from?" Mary Margret asked.
The person screamed again, and this time, we followed it.
We ran and found a young woman, staring at a shadow. Pan's shadow.
The Shadow ripped her shadow from her body, and flew away.
"How did it get free?" David asked.
"Maybe…" Regina looked at me, then grabbed my hair.
"Ow! Hey!" I said, struggling to get out of her grasp.
"Mom," Henry, said, looking frightened.
"How did you free the shadow?" Regina snarled.
I released a knife I have hidden in my coat and with one, swift, careful move, I cut my hair. Regina stumbled back, holding most of my hair, and had a startled look on her face. So did Henry.
"Now, I said, fixing my now chin-length hair. "I have no control over the shadow. Peter owns it. I did not free it. The only thing I am interested in freeing is Peter."
"See! See!" Regina said pointing a gloved finger at me. "She wants to free Pan. She wants us dead!"
"QUITE!" Rumple shouted.
We shut up.
"Now, I have no idea how Pan is controlling the Shadow inside of Pandora's Box, but he can still hurt us."
Henry turned to Regina. "You'll protect me, right?"
"Yes of corse," Regina said, pulling Henry into a hug. They walked away.
"Now," Rumple snarled. "We will free Pan, and kill him."
