Sorry I've been away from this story for so long guys, I decided to take a break and write a quick story especially for Halloween. But now that October has ended I can get back to this! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

S4E21: MOTHER

There was a tense awkwardness in the air as they packed up. Regina was helping Robin and Roland pack while Emma kept and eye on Zelena, her gun ready. Lily was helping from the corner farthest away taping boxes shut. She had to get that Wicked Witch alone.

"Emma, these are all set to go." She spoke up gesturing to the boxes, "I can keep an eye on her."

"Are you sure? She's dangerous, you haven't seen the terrible things she's done."

"I can handle her. I know how to work a gun." She said holding her hand for Emma's gun. After a moment of hesitation Emma placed it in Lily's hand.

"I'm trusting you." She said and Lily nodded.

Once Emma was gone Zelena spoke up, "And how do you fit into this dear?"

"I'm Maleficent's daughter."

It was the first time she'd actually said it, the words felt foreign on her tongue. Zelena looked thoroughly shocked but quickly composed herself.

"Well I –"

"I don't care what you have to say." Lily told her getting close to the witch. She quickly glanced over to Regina and Robin. Neither one was paying attention, Zelena's pregnancy news had shocked the Evil Queen out of coherency. Lily returned her focus to Zelena.

"Fawn's in the trunk of Emma's car waiting for us to get back to Storybrooke. When we get there my mother is supplying her with the final piece to her puzzle."

The shocked expression returned to Zelena's face. This baby dragon was definitely more than she seemed.

Lily walked to the window and watched Emma load boxes into the back seat of her bug. When she returned to the apartment Lily would have to volunteer to load the bug and rental car, she couldn't take the chance of them finding Fawn.

They returned to Storybrooke a few hours later, Regina took Zelena away and Emma had a short reunion with her family before they introduced Lily and Maleficent. Afterward, the Savior and her parents helped Robin and Roland move their things into a new apartment and left the dragon mother and daughter alone for some quality time.

The first thing Lily did was open the trunk to Emma's bug and let Fawn out.

"Phew! It's a much longer ride when you're squished in like that. If this wretched world had magic everywhere that wouldn't have been a problem." The fairy complained before turning to her friend, "Thank you, Tigerlily."

Maleficent watched her daughter and the fairy embrace each other. Fawn hadn't been lying when she said they had been close friends. The fairy then turned to face her.

"I believe I upheld my end of our bargain."

"You did." Maleficent replied as she reached inside her coat and pulled out a vial of Regina's blood.

"If Regina wasn't here how did you get that?" Lily asked.

"From her vault. It was quite easy breaking in while she was away but I've known Regina a long time. Blood is such a key ingredient in magic: curses, hexes, potions, healing enchantments, and various spells. It's always a good idea to keep some in case of an emergency. This should be more than enough for your resurrection spell." She handed Fawn the vial.

"Thank you, Mal."

"Thank you, for bringing my daughter back to me."

"I better get to work. Good luck with your happy ending."

"You too Fawn, " Lily said, "Tell Peter I say hello."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fawn hurried back to Hangman's Tree wanting nothing more than to cast this spell and bring Peter back.

But something stopped her, a short balding man in old world clothing was running into 'Stiltskin's pawnshop.

The Author?

If it was Fawn couldn't pass up this opportunity. She slid the vial of Regina's blood into her coat pocket and followed the man inside. Her spell could be her plan B if this Author didn't do his job.

When she entered the pawnshop the man had Rumple propped up in a chair and was trying to wake him up. When the bell above the door rang the man's attention focused on her.

"Fawn, the Dark Fairy. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Dark Fairy? No one's ever called me that before."

"Oh, you're one of my favorite characters to write about. Your history with Peter Pan, the tragedy of his demise. A Juliet who lost her Romeo."

Hearing him talk about Peter's death put her on edge and she wondered if this Author had re-written her love's early demise for the sake of a more interesting story. "And how far does being one of your favorites get me?"

He chuckled, "You mean will I write your happy ending? I was wondering when you'd ask. It's all anyone seems to want from me these days."

"But how many of those people are actually getting their happy ending?"

"Oh, don't worry Fawn, you qualify. See my latest piece is going to be all about the villains getting the happiness they deserve, myself included. I've got big plans for you and Peter Pan. So go home, relax and just wait for the magic to happen."

S4E22: OPERATION MONGOOSE PART 1

For now Fawn left all her vials locked up in her room. She'd been going over everything the Author had said but that man spoke in so many riddles it made her head spin.

She had decided to take a shower to try and relax her. She let the warm water wash over her skin and un-knot her tired muscles. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

After awhile she felt the water get cold but that wasn't the only change. The smooth tiles beneath her feet turned soft like wet sand, she began to hear birds chirping, and when she opened her eyes there were rocks in front of her.

She wasn't in her shower anymore she was now bathing in a waterfall, a very specific and familiar waterfall.

She remembered this waterfall from Neverland. It was located within a cave beneath Dead Man's Peak, the only source of light came from the white and blue crystals that grew out of the cave walls. The stones were shiny from the falling water and the sand tickled between her toes.

A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and she felt someone kiss her shoulder. She quickly turned to see the one person she'd been forced to live without for almost two years.

Peter Pan.

"Sorry love, I didn't mean to startle you." He chuckled.

"You're back." She whispered in awe.

"Well, the hunting trip with the boys took longer than I thought it would, but when you see the size of the boar we took down –"

He was cut off by Fawn's lips. She savored every moment, relished the feeling and took in every detail of their kiss. She couldn't believe it, the Author had won. Peter's hold on her waist tightened as their kiss went on but he was the one to pull away first.

"Well that was different. Not that I'm complaining." He chuckled, "I haven't been gone that long, love."

Fawn struggled to find words, "It was long enough."

"Aww. My fairy missed me that much?" he said mockingly but with a glint of mischief in his green eyes. "How ever will I make it up to her?" he asked as his hands moved lower down her back. She smirked at his actions.

"Oh, I think you know exactly how."

A few hours later they returned to camp hand in hand. The Lost Boys were all enjoying themselves when Felix spotted the pair.

"Pan." He greeted, "Some of our lookouts have spotted the pirates on the move again."

"Hook?" Fawn asked. They both turned to her looking puzzled.

"Who's Hook?" Felix asked.

"No one. Nevermind." They shrugged off her strange question and kept talking. The Author must have had a worse fate for Killian than being stuck on Neverland.

"The crew has been spotted on one of the outer islands. We think they're moving Captain Bonnie's treasure to a new hiding spot."

"We won't be able to take all the Lost Boys to the outer islands without being spotted." Peter looked around camp, "We'll take Ace and Slightly with us. Tell them to be ready by sundown."
