Wickedly Clever

Part Thirty Two – "I've been here before."

Why should I tell you?

Pan's words played repeatedly inside Emma's mind like a broken record.

It shook her; rocked her to her core – to the very fiber of her being.

She looked down, closing her eyes.

Putting her hands on her hips, she shook her head.

She thought, WTF, seriously?

This kid…. She was so done.

She wanted to say, "Screw you. I'm done with you. I'll find Henry on my own."

Unfortunately, she couldn't do any of this.

She was here before.

She couldn't break the rules: his rules.

This was his domain. Thus, he made the rules.


A/N – 7/23/22: First, I apologize profusely for not updating this fic in well over four years. Life happened; thus, a lot of professional (my job) & personal stuff has happened to me during my time away.

However, my love of/and for writing never went away, nor my love for this story. I'm going to do my best to update this fic on a more consistent basis. I really want to see it through to the end because I've been mapping out everything since I started it.

Second, this Peter/Emma scene & conversation will be an extensive & dark one, taking up who knows how many drabbles. You guys have been & will be warned. Will place necessary warnings before each drabble.

Third, the title and lyrics are from Little Boots' song, Remedy. Also, shout out to gryffindor107 for reviewing.

And, fourth, I'm on a two-week vacation from work. Gonna try to upload as many drabbles as I can. Thank you all for sticking with this story for nine years. Hopefully, it won't take me another nine to finish it, lol. Until next time! :)
