"You are in Neverland. I control you now and I am telling you that you are not going anywhere."
"NO! Let me go!" She stood up to him and she noticed the others around them step back and she suddenly was a little nervous. He took notice and smirked as he stepped ever closer so they were inches apart and she could feel his breath on her cheeks.
"You will stay here. Or I will show you pain you can only imagine." She closed her mouth as her eyes stifter from each of his. "Now, I don't like my lost boys to be unhappy, we have much to celebrate. Tonight we will welcome our new lost girl." He placed his hand on her shoulder and she flinched a little. The other boys cheered and lit the fire in the middle. She moved to sit on a log near the outer circle
She hated feeling scared. That's why she hated her dad so much. She knew he loved her and only wanted what she wanted but he scared her, and she hated him for it. She hated that Pan was now making her scared and she refused to let him know it, but sitting alone in a dark corner while everyone else was dancing and having fun was not going to help her case.
She heard the sound of beautiful music being played. She looked up and saw Pan playing a flute. He was looking at her through thick, dark eyelashes and clearly fighting the urge to smirk.
She smiled at him and stood to join the others dancing. She looked around and all the boys were dancing with no rhyme or rhythm. The music was so beautiful she couldn't help but close her eyes and move with it. Her movements were relaxed and planned out compared to the animalistic nature of the others. Sence her eyes were closed, she didn't notice everyone stepping aside to watch her dance. A bright smile grew on her face as the music became faster.
The boys started to cheer around her and the music stopped. She opened her eyes to see that she was the only one dancing but before she could think she felt a hand grab her waist and another hug ran her hand. Her other hand was pushed up onto their shoulder. When their eyes met she saw Pan holding her and she smiled at him. As though they had been dancing together for ages they danced together even without music to accompany them.
She had a million thoughts swirling around in her head. One moment she was terrified of this man and the next she was dancing with him as though they had known each other all their lives. Their body's moved together, anticipating each other's moves making their movement fluid and elegant.
She felt his hands let go and was a little disappointed at the loss of contact but his hands were quickly replaced by someone else's. As the night went on, she danced with many of the boys around the circle. Pan had started playing again and the music filled her with comfort and joy. She never wanted to leave.
The night was over too soon. She was starting to get tired. She had to find a place to sleep so she asked Pan.
"Hi, do you have a place I can sleep?"
"Of course. There's a bed over there." He pointed to an empty cot. She nodded to him and walked over to the bed. She kicked off her shoes and slipped under the covers. She shut her eyes but didn't fall asleep. She knew that no matter how much fun she was having now, she could not stay here for the rest of her immortal life. So, when everyone else was asleep she quietly got out of bed and crept into the forest. She knew that she wouldn't be able to outrun the lost boys without rest so she found the river and walked alongside it until she found the tree with the hole underneath. She jumped into it and was engulfed in darkness.
She rested her head on the dirt. She felt something cold hit her chest. She touched it and found her necklace, she had almost forgotten that she had it. It was a small gold coin on a chain. She didn't recognize where the coin was from but the necklace was given to her by her mother. It reminded her of her family. Tears started to fall from her eyes and trickled down her chin. She could hear others crying too, not sure where they were coming from. She cried until she fell into a deep sleep.
She woke up with a start. She could hear something just outside. She got up and crawled to a small crack so that she could see outside without being seen. She saw a woman with black hair cut into a pixie cut and a man with short blond hair talking to a woman around their age with long blonde hair. It sounded like they were fighting.
"I'm pissed." The blond woman said. "Yes Neal just died but I lost him years ago." Robin crept forward a little more just to hear them better. She missed some words but when she adjusted the blond had run away.
"She'll be ok." The man said to the black haired woman. "We have done everything we can."
"But that's the problem. I have no idea how to comfort my own daughter. It is the first thing a mother learns and I don't know how." Robin was getting very confused. Was the blond woman their daughter? But they looked the same age. They walked away and she was left in the dark. Who were these people anyway? They definitely weren't lost boys.
Third Pov:
He got up to check up on Henry when he noticed that Robin's bed was empty. He shook his head and put his head in his hand. It was useless for her to run away, she wouldn't get far. It just made more work for him. He walked up to Felix's bed.
"Get up." Felix sat up in his bed. "She's gone. I need you to find her."
"But last time you were the only one who found her."
"Yes, but now we know she's rather fond of trees. Now go." Felix grabbed his club and walked into the forest, looking up at the sky.
Robin Pov:
She looked out from her hiding place and stepped out into the sun. She walked carefully to follow where the strangers had gone. She found a cave in a rock and she crept around the outside. Suddenly someone slammed her shoulders into the rock. She fought to get out from their grasp but it was useless. She looked up at her attacker and saw a man with dark hair and a beard.
"You're not a lost boy." He said, confused. His grip loosened but he didn't let go. "Who are you." She kept her mouth shut. She turned her so he could shove her into the opening of the cave. A bunch of startled people gathered around her. She recognized the three people from earlier but not there was a woman with black hair and definitely not dressed for the forest and the man who was still holding her. She tugged her arm back and realized a hook was holding her. She looked up at him, confused.
"Who is she?" The blonde woman asked.
"I don't know, she won't tell me." Her eyes fell on the overdressed woman who seemed to be looking at her strangely but didn't say anything.
"My name is Robin."
"And how did you get here, Robin." The blonde man asked.
"I don't know. One minute I was being attacked by nothing and the next I woke up here." Everyone was quiet so she kept going. "I was able to hide for a while until I was taken by Pan but I ran away."
"She's lying. No one gets away from Pan." The man with the hook stepped forward.
"You're Capitan Hook, aren't you." He looked confused but nodded.
"Killian Jones."
"Listen, I don't know how but I did. I snuck out last night. Who are all of you." The blonde woman was about to say something when the woman with the pixie cut spoke first.
"Mary Margret, Emma, David, and Regina." She said pointing to various people. Emma gave her a disapproving look but didn't say anything.
"I imagine Pan is looking for me though."
"Then we can't keep her." Hook said. Robin was about to say something but Hook already grabbed her and threw her out. She was considering going back in but figured there would be no point so she just walked deeper into the forest.
She was walking through some bush when she was suddenly slammed into a tree.
"Not again." She said under her breath. She looked up and saw Felix. "What do you want?"
"Pan wants you back home."
"That's not my home."
"It is now." He bent down to her knees. She looked at him very confused but before she could ask what he was doing, he grabbed her knees and threw her over his shoulders.
"Hey! Stop! Put me down!" She flailed around but he kept his hold on her tight and carried her through the forest towards camp. He dropped her on the ground with a thud. She crossed her arms and pouted. She saw Pan walk up to her and bend down so he was at eye level with her.
"Hi. Welcome back." He said smiling at her. She didn't say anything. "What's got you down?"
"I want to go home." He smiled smugly at her.
"It didn't seem like that last night." He winked and she rolled her eyes. "Where did you go?"
"Out." She said.
"Clearly." He paused. "You meet the people."
"What people?"
"There are people on my island. Did you run into them?" She looked at the ground.
"Maybe." She mumbled. He looked down.
"Nice necklace." He took it in his hand and she shifted, not liking that he had it.
"Um… Thank you." He looked in her eyes before getting up.
"Come with me." He offered her his hand and she took it quickly, immediately thinking that she should have hesitated a little. He lead her away from the other boys into a different clearing.
"Where are we going?" She asked, curiously. He turned around to face her, still holding her hand.
"I always make sure that my lost boys are good in combat."
"I am not a lost boy." She said firmly.
"Right. Lost girl." He corrected himself. She scoffed and decided to let it be. He handed her a stick. "Here."
"Wow, thank you. So generous of you." She said sarcastically.
"Just picture it as a sword." He grabbed another stick. "Close your eyes and picture it." She looked at him skeptically. "You can trust me."
"See, I don't trust you."
"Just do it." He said. She could tell his patience was running low.
"Fine." She shut her eyes and imagined herself holding a sword. When she opened her eyes Pan was smiling at her and she was holding a long metal sword. A big smile grew on her face and he let out a laugh. She ran to hug him and it seemed to catch him off guard. When she realized what she was doing she stepped back just to see a very smug expression on his face. "Ok, what are we going to do now?" She asked awkwardly.
"Now we fight." The stick he was holding turned into a sword as well. She looked a little nervous. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Badly."
He put his sword out in front of himself and Robin did the same. He lunged at her and she put her sword up to block it. He smiled at her. Now it was her turn to attack. She tried going at him but he quickly disarmed her.
"Again?" She picked up her sword and went at him again but this time he turned her around and pinned her into a nearby tree. He moved his sword to her throat.
"This seems all too familiar to me." She said and smirked at him. He let her go and they fought again. This time they fought longer and by the end, he was lying on the ground and she was on top of him. He smiled up at her.
"Good work." She smiled proudly but before she could enjoy it he had flipped her and was now on top. "But I do better work."
