Snow got hit
Emill03 asked for a oneshot of Snow getting hit with the poisoned arrow instead of Charming.
lilem: I think that subject area has been covered enough.
I knew I really should tell someone, especially Charming, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I couldn't bring myself to admit we had a massive problem. Even if Hook (who had stumbled across my secret when he saw me examine the wound) managed to find the cure that had saved his brother, I would be cursed to live on Neverland forever. That was a fate I could not condemn the rest of my family to. That meant living a never-ending life upon the hellhole that is Neverland. Even if (no, when) we defeated Pan, the island would still be overrun by his Lost Boys. There would be guaranteeing any would come back to Storybrooke with us.
Every time I thought about the moment I would have to eventually tell my loved ones the truth, it broke my heart a little bit more. Charming…we were soulmates. How could I tell my soulmate I would never be able to see him again? But I could not be selfish. I couldn't make Charming endure the same dreadful fate as me. Deep down, I knew we both wanted to have another baby. Now knowing that would never be the case, well, I knew that was going to break him. Not only that, but there was Emma and Henry to think about. They would need him. Emma. Oh Emma. She had just found us such a short time ago. Having to tell my precious girl that I was going to have to leave her again, and for good this time, I wasn't sure I was going to be strong enough to do that. I wasn't going to be strong enough to say goodbye to any of them.
All I could do was pray that some miracle could be found. That Hook was wrong, that there was a way I could be cured and leave the island. All before I ran out of time completely.
