A/N: Hey yall to be shorter than the others in this series acting more as a connector between them.
Chapter 3
Hook's POV
Pan vanished minutes after making himself known.
"I need to get back to Disney World now!" I screamed in frustration.
"What's Disney World?" Smee asked.
"It's a magical world in the same realm as Storybrooke." I paused. "That's it. I just need to get back to Storybrooke like we did last time."
"Speaking of Storybrooke, how did we get here? Back in Neverland?"
"It's a long story."
"We got time. If we understand what happened maybe that'll help us get back."
"Ok. It all started…" and I started explaining everything.
Maybeck's POV
We had been traveling all day. We decided to stop and make camp for the night.
I really want to know why I remember Charlie, but she doesn't remember me. Her and Lily were sitting across the fire from me. Charlie was holding Maddie.
"You alright, Terrance?" Greg asked from behind me.
"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine."
"How's that shoulder of yours? Up for a little practice?" he asked handing me a sword.
"Sure," anything to keep me distracted.
Charlene's POV
Today's been fun. Long ride so far, but Maybeck was entertaining. Or at least Greg thought so…I have never heard my brother laugh so much. He seemed to put everyone at ease. I don't know why but he seemed familiar.
Out of nowhere I heard the clang of metal on metal. Swords clashing. Lily and I both jumped up at the noise. Of course, it was Greg and Terrance.
"Really, you couldn't have warned us?" Lily questioned.
"If we had warned you we wouldn't have gotten to see that priceless reaction," Greg responded laughing.
"My apologies," Terrance said bowing. "Greg thought it would be wise if I practiced and get my shoulder used to the swing of a sword again."
"Yes, of course. Just want next time." I could feel my sisters eyes on me.
"As you wish. We are about to continue, just a warning," Terrance said smiling. And him and Greg went back to practicing.
Lily and I sat back down. She was still staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"What as that about?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"Oh please. Do you like Terrance?" she questioned.
"What? no, he's just been very nice and easy to talk to. And something about him seems… familiar."
"You so like him," she said confidently.
"Whatever I'm going to bed. I want to be awake when we see Snow and Charming tomorrow," I said walking toward my tent. "Goodnight Greg. Goodnight Terrance."
"Night, Charlie."
"Goodnight, Princess."
Jess's POV
Whew. We finally made it to my place.
"Wait here one second," I told the others while entering the place. I took a quick look. "Okay, all clear. Come on in."
Dell and Billy walked in carrying Kyle in between them.
"Willa, Jess clear the table," Dell instructed. We did so, quickly.
"Alright Billy, on the count of 3 we'll lay him down face down on the table." Billy nodded. "Okay. 1…2…3." They lifted Kyle onto the table. Dell started saying new instructions. Willa was helping. I was trying, but I had no idea what was going on. I looked around the place.
"Hey, I'm going to go check on Billy," I said.
"Okay, good idea," Willa said looking my way briefly before returning her attention to helping Dell.
I walked outside and saw Billy just sitting outside the door, staring off into space.
"Billy, you know it's not your fault, right?"
"Yeah it is. If I would've tied that knot properly we wouldn't be in this situation."
"Listen, I've seen his back and it looks like this isn't the first time it's happened. But maybe it was a good thing that you didn't tie those properly."
He looked at me and scoffed. "Yeah right."
"I'm serious. The next time that Kyle would've been punished no telling what would've happened. Blackbeard could've killed him. Then what would happen to you? Who would protect you, then?"
Willa's POV
The amount of scars on this guys back was crazy. There are so many. I was helping Dell clean them. I think Jess went to check on the kid.
How did they end up with Blackbeard? He seems like such a nice Kid. I've read stories on Blackbeard, he's the most ruthless and vile pirate ever.
I heard a soft groan.
"Good thing we just finished. He's starting to wake up."
"Where…Where am I?" Kyle asked.
"You are in the Enchanted Forest."
"How did I get here?"
"We…" Dell started.
"Wait, where's Billy?"
"Uh, guys. Help, it's Jess, she just zoned out but she's not responding," Billy said from the doorway.
We all went outside.
"Jess?" I asked poking her.
"Woah. You all know a seer, I've only heard about those," Kyle said. Jess snapped out of her trance.
"We are about to have some extremely random visitors."
"Really, who?" Dell asked. Jess pointed at a carriage coming closer.
No way that's…
Finn's POV
So now we know where Henry is. But we still aren't sure where Kyle or Hook are or how to get Henry here.
Emma reentered the room, followed by Regina.
"Find out anything?" David asked.
"Not about Henry, but Charlene's carriage just arrived and she brought some help," Regina said.
Help? What does she mean by that?
"Alright, Emma, Snow and I will go greet them. The rest of you all stay up here. We don't want to overwhelm them," David said. And those three left.
"What did you mean by help?" Amanda asked.
"Well it seems that Charlene's brother and sister decided to join her and Maybeck on the trip," Regina replied.
"But Charlene doesn't have any siblings," I said.
"She does in this realm. Now remember we don't want to set off any…"
David's POV
"Red flags. We don't know what they do and don't remember," I said. We reached the front doors. "Ready?" they both nodded and the front doors opened.
"Charlie it's good to see you again," Snow greeted hugging Charlene. "Awe and this must be Maddie."
"It's good to see you, too, Snow. And yes this is Maddie. Red would've been with us, but Granny was sick. But she says hello."
Snow and Charlene continued talking. Lily was talking with Emma and Maybeck walked up to me, followed by Greg.
"David, it's great to see you again."
"And you as well, Greg. Thank you for helping out Captain Terrance."
"No trouble at all."
"Terrance why don't you go get that shoulder checked out."
"Yes, sir."
"I'll go with," Charlene said, helping Maybeck. Huh, I wonder if Charlene remembers.
"So how was your travels? Hopefully not too much trouble," I asked while we entered the castle.
Charlene's POV
I know what I did was not customary, but I feel drawn to Terrance. I don't know why, but I feel some connection.
Maddie started crying. Why? She was just sleeping. Terrance chuckled.
"What is so funny?"
"The expression you made when Maddie woke up," he responded. I just rolled my eyes and tried soothing her. I tried for 5 minutes.
"Here let me try," Terrance said.
"I don't know," I said hesitantly.
"Come on, you've been trying for a little while and it's not working," he replied seriously. I conceded and handed Maddie to him.
"Hey little M.N.M. Shh, it's okay go back to sleep. Your safe." Huh. Maddie started quieting down.
"How did you come up with M.N.M?"
"Her name," he replied looking at me. I gave him a questioning look. "It's Maddison Nicole Maybeck right? So, M.N.M."
"How did you know…"
"Maybeck?" a gentleman around our age with brown hair asked walking up to us.
"Whitman, how's it going?" Terrance replied. Wait Maybeck is his last name. It couldn't be though. My siblings wouldn't lie to me, would they?
That's it for chapter 3. Let me know what yall thought.
