Chapter Four: (I haven't seen the episode "Lost Girl" in a while so this might be slightly off)

A warm hand holds mine tightly. I can see bright red fingernails and smell newly applied lotion. People are everywhere and I have to hold on with both hands so I won't let go and get lost. Something loud thunders through the crowd of people and a large group disappears, showing off the shiny train that had caused the noise. As I watch the doors close and it whizzes away.

"Mommy needs to go to the bathroom okay Elley?" my mother speaks. I look up, but the bright lights make it hard to see her face.

"I want to go home mommy," I cry.

"Don't whine Elley," she reprimands me. Giving a sharp tug she drags me towards the bathroom.

"Just stand right here and mommy will be right back," she pats my head and the scent of lotion becomes even more stronger.

"But mommy," I protest.

"I promise I'll be right back Elley," she says. I watch her form retreat towards the bright sign on the wall, but I'm too young to read what it says. I can only assume it reads bathrooms.

People push past me in a hurry to go somewhere and meet someone. No one notices me standing by the trashcan against the wall. They're all too caught up in their own lives to worry about a little four year old standing all alone.

Time drags by, but my mother doesn't appear. "Mommy," I call out gently. A few women turn their heads, but find their own children safe and sound so they move on. "Mommy," I call out louder.

Another train pulls into the station. I catch a familiar scent. "Mommy," I squeal. But she isn't going towards me. She's boarding the silver train. "Mommy," I cry. I try to push through the people towards her, but I'm not strong enough. The doors close before I reach her and the train starts to speed away.

"Mommy," I scream. Through the retreating window I can see her kiss her hand and press it to the window. She waves as the train races away.

"Mommy," I scream and jolt up from my bed of leaves. My cheeks are stained with tears and my heart is racing. It's too dark for me to see the Lost Boys in front of me but I can hear them breathing and mumbling amongst themselves.

"Are you okay Elizabeth?" Felix asks. I'm breathing too hard to answer. He approaches me, but I flinch away. "I'm not gonna hurt you." His voice sounds worried, an emotion I didn't know he could feel. There's a swishing sound then he wraps his cloak around me.

It's made of a rough fabric and smells like boys, but it's warm. I feel a little comfort at its touch and sink back into my bed. "Thanks," I whisper.

"You're welcome," Felix says as he walks back to his post.

*Emma*

Emma studies the map before her. What does he mean? I already know who I am, don't I? Emma's thoughts raced with confusion. Her mother sat next to her, trying to help her. Regina was pacing around the woods while Captain Hook watched them curiously. David was keeping an eye on both of them.

"Come one Emma. You can do this, just think of who you are," Mary Margaret encourages her.

"I'm the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming," she says. The map remains blank.

"Try something else," David prompts.

"I come from the Enchanted Forest, my son is Henry, his father is Neal or Baelfire," Emma spouts out a bunch of information. Still nothing happens.

"You're leaving something out," Mary Margaret says gently.

"Why are we even going through this? I could just cast a spell that would reveal where they are," Regina grumbles.

"Pan would have protected the map so you can't do that," Hook argues.

"Emma has to do this on her own," David agrees.

"I don't know what else to say, I've already said my past," Emma exclaims.

"I told you that you were leaving something out," Mary Margaret says quietly. Emma still hesitates. The others stare at her intently and she sighs.

"Fine, I'm the savior," she finally mutters. They all hold their breath and watch the map. Nothing happens.

They all let out their breath. Emma feels despair rising in her heart. What else was it about herself that she didn't know? She could see the same despair rising on the others faces although they tried to hide it. Finally Regina just walked up and grabbed the map.

"Wait what are you doing?" Mary Margaret cries.

"It isn't wise to break Pan's rules," Hook adds.

"I don't care. We're wasting time. Henry needs us and we're just sitting here staring at a blank map," Regina fusses. She holds the map out and focuses on it. One of her hands starts to glow and she carefully casts her spell on the paper. It begins to float in the air and then slowly floats away.

"Now let's go get Henry," Regina smiles. Emma agrees with her parents that this wasn't the right thing to do, but she's ready to go get Henry too so she doesn't argue.

"Come on," she heads after the paper before anyone can get into a fight.

The floating map leads them through the forest for quite some ways. The night lingers on as they walk and makes the trees around them seem even more foreboding. After some time the map finally stops in a small clearing.

There's remnants of a fire and logs that had been drug over to use as chairs. Despite it being night and there being no fire the place seems to be lighted up.

Emma glances around searching for any sign of Henry. To her extreme relief she sees him standing just a little ways off. He has his back to her, but he seems to be okay.

"Henry," she calls. They all rush forward, but pause before they reach him. Slowly Henry turns around and then they realize it's not Henry at all, it's Pan.

His face looks dark and unhappy. There's still some smug superiority hidden beneath his disappointment, but it's light.

"Pan," Emma hisses.

"Hi Emma," he smirks. His eyes look me over and he smiles. "You know what? Now that I see you in the light you actually do look like Elley," he seems amused. Emma looks at him in confusion.

"Who's Elley?" she asks.

"Oh that's right, you call her Elizabeth. Elley's just the pet name I gave her," he nods. Emma's heart freezes. Oh no.

"What are you talking about?" David asks.

"How do you know about Elizabeth?" Emma adds. Pan looks pleased that they're shocked and confused.

"Well you see, she came for a visit," he says. They all look at each other in horror. Even Regina and Hook look worried. Elizabeth is friends with everyone, even villains like her.

"Don't you dare hurt her," Emma threatens him.

"Oh don't worry, I don't hurt girls. I can't speak for my Lost Boys, but I won't hurt her," Pan promises. "Besides, I thought you were here for Henry, or is he not as important to you?" Emma bites her lip. She knows what he's doing, trying to make her choose between her son and the girl she pretty much raised.

"Of course not. Henry is our main priority, not hand him over," Regina snaps. Pan glares at her.

"Why should I?" he asks.

"You said Emma could get her son back if she managed to find you. Well we found you," Regina says.

"I don't think so. You broke the rules," Pan starts to walk around them. "That's not fair," he says. The trees around them rustle and Emma has a sinking feeling they've walked into a trap. "Nobody breaks my rules. Now either you can pay for it or I'm sure Henry and Elley would gladly take the fall for you," he offers.

"Never," Emma exclaims.

"Your choice," Pan shrugs. "Come on boys," Pan calls. Before they can react they're surrounded by Lost Boys.

*Elizabeth*

Something strange is stirring the wind. I can feel it, something big is happening somewhere. I sit up in bed and look around.

The sky has grown brighter, but it's still night time. Felix's cloak is still wrapped around me and I pull it up around my arms. The woods around me are empty. Where is everyone? Why would Peter leave me unguarded? They had such a hard time letting me go to the bathroom by myself and then they just leave me alone. Oh yeah, makes perfect sense.

For a moment I just sit there, then I realize it, I'm alone. I stand up quickly, I'm fully awake now. Without looking around or even considering what direction I might be going I take off into the woods.

A/N:

Well this is a bit of a disappointment. Her past came out right, but that's about it. The recap from the show is just awkward. I wasn't sure how to write it since I didn't want to just copy the show and I had to make it a little different to fit the story, but I feel like it's just weird. Sorry bout that. But anyways, as we all know at the end of this episode Emma finally unlocks the mystery of the map by admitting she's an orphan, that happens after Elizabeth runs off, but I didn't think it was necessary to write about considering most of us already know about it, at least I assume most of us know about it. Sorry if I just spoiled it for ya. In the next chapter we get to see Elizabeth's attempt at escape that ends up being a very wet experience. Just a little hint. So now I have a question for ya. Do you ever feel like, I don't know, like you don't belong? I know that sounds weird, but I've just had this feeling for the past couple of days that I'm meant for something else. I mean I'm sure everyone feels like that at some point, but it's driving me crazy. I've been having all this drama with my friends so that just makes it worse, but things are getting better there so I don't know why I'm so like depressed. I just wanna get away for a while. Thank God tomorrow is Friday. I think I'll go on a walk through the woods. Maybe have a little scream fest and attack a tree or something. Gotta let out these feelings somehow, right? Yeah, I know I'm weird. High school is making me a crazy person, I don't know how I'm so popular! :p Well thanks for all the awesome reviews and everything.
