Huge thank you to bethisabear, badkidoh, and Shadowing for reviewing the last chapter! And Shadowing to answer your question my plan is to just continue adding chapters to this story instead of making another sequel type one.
SEASON 5A
5x01 The Dark Swan
Darkness
That was the only thing his mind could comprehend. Sometimes there would be light, when he had enough strength to open his eyes. A bright blinding light shining behind a face. A blurry image but still recognizable .
Fawn.
Every time he found the strength to open his eyes, she'd be there. It was never for more than a few moments though before he was sucked back into the dark void. Sometimes there were just voices, they echoed like he was inside a cave and he only ever caught fragments.
"Peter, you're going to be alright."
"Tootles get me another cloth."
"It's going to be okay, Peter."

There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in." Fawn called, still sitting next to Peter holding his hand. She'd used magic to change him out of his Neverland clothes and put him in a black tee shirt and sweatpants , just something to make him more comfortable.
Fox entered with Nibs and No Nap following him.
"We've been scouting the town like you asked."
"And?"
The three Lost Boys exchanged nervous looks before Fox looked back at Fawn.
"Emma Swan is now the Dark One." Tootles nearly fell out of his seat at Fawn's desk.
"What?" Fawn gasped looking at Fox with wide eyes.
"Something to do with the Sorcerer's Apprentice? It was hard to get the whole story straight." Nibs added.
"Rumple's dead then?" she asked hopefully but saw how Fox looked at the floor.
"No. At least not yet. When the apprentice removed the darkness from his heart he fell into a coma. Then Emma let the darkness take her to save Regina." Fox explained.
Fawn looked back at Peter lying weak and unconscious on the bed. With the Dark One's powers Emma could easily end all of them. Luckily, she didn't even know they were here.
"Where's she now?"
"No one knows. The darkness sucked her away. They're looking for her right now." No Nap told her.
"Keep gathering information, but stay hidden. Stick to the shadows and alleys." Fox nodded and left with Nibs and No Nap, Fawn turned back to Peter. She wished he'd wake up, she would really need his help now that Emma was the Dark One. She took a deep sigh and waved her hand, the floor length mirror across the room rippled and revealed downtown Storybrooke. Zelena was facing off with Regina, holding Robin Hood hostage.
"Hello sis. I see you fixed the clock. I'd be a shame to break it again. Although, it might be fun to see Robin fly like one of his arrows."
"You lay another finger on him –"
"Oh, I'm not here to hurt Robin, I'm here to trade him, for the Apprentice's wand."
"What the hell do you want with this?" Regina asked gesturing to the wand in her hand.
"I am tired of losing to you! You continue to get everything. Now, I have someone to love me, and only me." She placed a hand on her stomach, "See this is my future and I'm not letting anyone take it from me, or turn it against me. So I am going as far away from you and Robin as possible, over the rainbow. Where you can't follow."
"Back to Oz?"
"I may have been feared and despised there but at least there I was free, there I was in control. So if you want your forest smelling boyfriend to live through the day you will give me that wand."
Regina paused seeming to consider Zelena's demand, Hook saw her hesitation, "Don't even think about it."
"You can't Regina, please." Snow begged.
"I have to." She whispered handing Zelena the wand and taking Robin's hand.
"Lovely." Zelena said admiring the wand, "Now, all it needs is a little direction, a trinket from home." She held up her necklace, "Now see me do what you weren't powerful enough to do yourself." She waved the wand around the necklace and directed the magic to the sky. The clouds turned green and funneled into a cyclone.
Suddenly the wand flashed and Zelena bent over in pain. Regina ran forward and placed the magic blocking cuff on her wrist as Charming restrained her.
"What the hell happened?" Hook asked.
"What happened is I'm not stupid," Regina said with a smile, "I knew you could open that portal. But I also knew it would weaken you. See there's one thing our family does well, sis. And that's exploit pain. We're going to take your portal but we're not taking it to Oz, we're taking it to Emma."
Fawn waved her hand again and the mirror returned to its ordinary reflection.

"It's been six weeks Fawn. How long is he going to be like this?" Tootles asked pacing back and forth in front of her balcony made of tree branches. The older pair of twins, Marmaduke and Newton, had brought Fawn a cup of water and a bowl of broth. She quietly thanked them and they tipped their matching camp hats in response before leaving.
"I'm not sure." She told Tootles as she gently brought a spoonful of broth to Peter's lips. This is how it had been since his resurrection. Originally, he'd been out of it, which was understandable since he'd just come back from the dead. Sometimes his eyes would flutter open for a few short seconds but whenever Fawn tried to talk to him he'd slide back into unconsciousness.
The door to her room burst open and Curly, Nibs and Slightly rushed in.
"Fawn! Fawn! They're back!" Slightly huffed trying to catch his breath.
"Regina, Snow, Hook and the rest, they're all back." Nibs continued.
"They ended up in Camelot, that's where Emma was." Curly added.
"But their mission to get rid of the darkness—" Slightly started again before Nibs interrupted, "It failed."
"What do you mean, they failed?" she asked. All three boys looked at each other before looking back at her, Curly was the one who answered.
"Emma's gone dark. Like seriously dark."
"She's got snow white hair, dressed in all black leather."
"She even turned one of the dwarves to stone!"
"She embraced the darkness, and now she's said she's going to punish everyone for trying to stop it." Fawn tried to process all this new information as quickly as she could, she kept looking at Peter- still asleep – at Tootles and back to the three boys by her door.
"I want every Lost Boy back under our protections spell, now. No one goes into town under any circumstance, is that clear?" the three nodded and rushed out of the room. Fawn turned to Tootles.
"Make sure everyone gets back and stays put, understand? Emma cannot find out we're here."
