"You can do this love," Killian said as he stood behind Emma, arms wrapped around her waist and his chin resting on her shoulder. They were standing before the full length mirror in their bedroom. Emma closed her eyes and concentrated, feeling her magic flow through her veins and sending it to the mirror. When she opened her eyes again there was an image in the mirror. The image showed Sophia collecting some coconuts in a jungle. Emma sighed in relief because her daughter was okay but she felt Killian tense behind her.

"What is it?" she asked him and turned her head just a little to look at him.

"She's in Neverland," he answered, not taking his eyes off the mirror.

She turned in his arms and made him look at her with her hand on his cheek, stroking it gently. "Hey, she's okay. She has your blood. You survived in Neverland, so will she. At least we are familiar with the realm she's in. She could have landed up in Wonderland, that would have been a real challenge."

He seemed to relax a bit and gave her a sad smile. "You're right love, I'm just worried."

"Me too."

She rested her head against his shoulder, feeling his arms tighten around her. He kisses the top of her head and rested his cheek against it, swaying her slowly.

"Come, we have to find Regina."


Felix walked with some of the lost boys through the jungle. They were still looking for whatever entered Neverland. Although he knew they meant Sophia he didn't say a thing, just pretending like he was as clueless like all of them.

But now he had to get rid of these boys and go to her. To make sure she didn't get him in trouble of course. Not because he wanted to make sure she was still here, that she was safe. No, just so he knew she wouldn't let herself be caught by Pan.

He slowed his pace so that he ended up being a little farther behind the group. When he was sure no one was looking he picked up a stone and threw it in the opposite direction of where they were headed.

"Did you hear that?" one of the boys said, turning to look behind him with his spear raised.

"Yeah, what was it?" said another, also turning toward where he threw the rock to.

"You go on, I'll see what it was," he offered, waving his hand for them to continue walking. They nodded and walked on, suspecting nothing.

Good.

When they were out of sight he turned and made his way toward the cave where he left Sophia yesterday. Halfway he felt something strange crawl inside his stomach. His heart began to fasten a bit and suddenly the jungle was warmer than before.

Was he… nervous?

Why was he nervous? He has never been nervous before. Why did she make him nervous?

He began to walk slower when his mind began to act on these nerves. What was he going to say to her? Did she even want to see him again? What if something happened last night that got her in trouble? Or hurt?

He shook his head. He was being a star struck idiot again. It didn't matter what he would say to her, or if she even wants to see him. The reason why he's going to her is because he doesn't want trouble. It wouldn't matter if she was hurt or even if she got herself killed. He didn't care, he didn't care about her. Or at least, that was what he tried to convince himself.

He tried to not think about her as he fastened his pace again. He really tried not to think about her smile, her eyes, her cute pointy ears, her…

What the hell is wrong with him?!

He sighed when he saw the cave. For a moment he considered going back. Maybe she was too much trouble. He should just leave right now and if Pan found her he would just deny everything. Pan would believe him faster than some girl after all. But his feet had other plans as they just carried him inside.

"Sophia?" he called when he was inside. He didn't hear any respond. Hesitatingly, he walked further inside, seeing that she wasn't there.

He placed his wooden cudgel against a wall as he looked around the cave. She had made herself a fire pit that was still smoking a bit. The stone she sat on, saying it could be her bed, was covered in with big green leafs. He debated if he should wait for her or just leave, maybe return later.

He was about to leave when something on the wall caught his eye. He walked closer to see that she had been drawing on the wall. On the ground under the wall painting were half coconuts with different kind of thick collared liquid like stuff. She probable used that as paint.

He looked away from the coconut and back at the drawing. She had drawn a dragon with big wings and sharp claws. She was really talented, he could see that. It almost looked like the dragon was real, as if it could fly out of there any second and attack him. She had been doing a lot since he left her here.

He noticed that next to the dragon was a text written. After all his years in Neverland he had forgotten how to read – not that he was ever good at it or practiced it much before he came here – but he could still recognise some letters and words. He looked the text over again and again, trying to figure out what was written there.

"'Don't Fashion Me Into A Maiden That Needs Saving From A Dragon. I Am The Dragon, And I Will Eat You Whole'."

He jumped slightly when he heard Sophia's voice from behind his. He turned to see her walking into the cave, a net of coconuts was swung over her shoulder. Her hair was one back into a ponytail, showing those cute pointy ears. He didn't why he thought those ears were so cute. They were the exact same ones as Hook had, but he doesn't think they're cute on him. But somehow they are just adorable on her.

"What?" he asked, hoping he sounded less breathless then he felt at the sight of her. Get yourself together!

"The quote on the wall you were trying to read, that's what is says," she explained, placing the coconuts in a corner. "What are you doing here?"

"How do you know I can't read?" he asked, ignoring her question. He knew he didn't really have a good excuse to be here. The 'he didn't want to get in trouble' excuse sounded lame now that he thought about it. If he didn't want to get in trouble he would have told Pan the truth, or not have risked coming here again in the first place. Now that he thought about it he was really an idiot.

"You were staring at the letters like it was some kind of riddle." She walked over to him, stopping when she was beside him. "I have the same quote in my bedroom back home."

Her eyes grew a bit sad at the memory which gave him the need to comfort her. He didn't know why but he just did.

"They'll come for you," he said softly, trying to smile a bit for her which came easier than he thought. He didn't smile often unless it was cruel.

"How do you know?" she whispered and bit her lip. She was clearly trying to hold back her tears. He saw them shine in her eyes and his chest tightened.

"I may not know your mother but I do know your father, and I know he would go to the end of the world for the people he loves."

She looked up at him and gave him a sad smile. She then turned her gaze back to the wall and let her head rest against his shoulder as she leaned a bit closer to him. A weird feeling formed in his stomach again, but is wasn't nerves. It was a bit more pleasant than that, making him feel warm inside in a good way. But what the hell was it?

"Thank you," she whispered. They were quiet for a moment. Just standing there, staring at the wall, until Sophia spoke up again, "Do you know how to use a sword?"

She lifter her head from his shoulder and he raised an eyebrow at her, "Yeah, why?"

She turned on her heels and walked over to the other side of the cave. "If I'm going to stay here for a while I have to know how to defend myself." From behind a few small rocks she grabbed two blades. "I had a few fighting lessons back home but I never used a real cutlass like this before."

"Where did you get those?" he said as he walked closer. The cutlasses where beautifully engraved with different patterns and they looked as if they were never used before.

"Don't know. I was thinking about how cool it would be to have cutlasses like these and suddenly they appeared," she explained with a shrug as she handed him one.

"You have magic?"

"Maybe, I am the product of True Love just like my mother so it wouldn't be a surprise."

"I may not know a lot about magic but I can teach you how to sword fright," he said with a smirk, handing the cutlass back to her. He turned on his heels and walked to the opening of the cave, looking over his shoulder when he didn't hear her follow. "You coming?"

"Wait, like, right now?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "Don't you have to go back to Pan or something?"

"Pan doesn't expect me back for a few hours, why not have a little fun?" He smirked and she smiled brightly as she sprinted over to him.


As soon as Emma and Killian knew where Sophia was they contacted Regina. Regina had found a way to get to the realm, so they agreed to meet each other in Granny's. Emma and Killian rushed over to the booth where Regina was waiting for them.

"What did you find?" Emma asked as soon as she sat down.

"Hello to you too," Regina said a bit mocking. "I searched through Arthur's vault and office for a magical item that could transport you two to another realm and found this." She held out her hand and showed them the magic bean.

"Here did you find it?" asked Killian, looking closely at the bean to make sure it was real.

"I found it under his desk."

"He got the first bean from a box on his desk," Emma said, sharing a look with Killian. "he probably dropped the other in his rush to get away."

"There is only one problem," Regina said, turning their attention back to her. "there is only one bean, that means you have to find another way to get back here."

"We'll find a way," Emma said confident.

"So where is she exactly?"

"Neverland," Killian answered.

Regina raised her eyebrow, handing them the bean and got up. "Then I wish you two the best of luck."

"Thank you," Emma said. Regina nodded before leaving.

Not long after Regina left they left too. Back home they changing and gearing up. Emma changed into a set of comfortable jeans and a tank top. Killian had warned her that it could be very warm on the island, so she settled on that. Killian had changed into some jeans and a simple V-neck T-shirt and was now in town to gather some weapons. They would meet in an hour on his ship. In that hour she would inform her parents where they were going.

"Emma, let us come with you, we can help," her mother insisted.

Emma shook her head. "No. I need you two here. The town doesn't have a mayor or a sheriff, someone needs to keep everyone from breaking the law and freaking out. The you two are their former rulers, they'll listen best to you."

Snow and David pulled Emma into a hug. "Just promise us you and Killian will be careful."

"We will."

Emma pulled back from the hug and gave her parents one last smile before heading toward the docks in her yellow bug. The drive wasn't long but it gave her some time to think. In the past few hours she didn't have the time to do just that.

Everything happened so fast, from not having parents to having the greatest one's ever. From not having her own family to having a husband and daughter. She knew that her fake memories were all lies; there was no fiancé named Graham who died in her arms, there was no ex-boyfriend who send her to jail named Neal. It all was a lie, one big lie, and it was all Arthurs fault. The stupid asshole deserved to die.

Still, she pitied him. He may deserved to die for what he did to Killian's brother, for what he did to her and for the curse, but still she pitied him. Killian had told her about their friendship before Arthur became cruel and heartless. When Killian and Liam where on the open seas Arthur was in the castle learning how to be a king. He didn't have any brothers who he could pass the throne to. He had no choice in what he did and that made him jealous of the Brothers Jones who were free in their choices.

She stopped her car in a parking spot and got out. She walked over to The Jolly Roger where Killian was waiting for her. At least the curse brought his ship to this realm.

"You ready, love?" Killian asked when she walked on board. He handed her a cutlass and a scabbard which she strapped over her shoulder. He himself had a sword dangling from his hip.

"Yeah, but why are we taking the Jolly?" Emma asked as he steered the ship out of the docks and into the open waters.

"In Neverland traveling on the waters is faster and safer than on land. We can get closer faster that way and get away even faster," he explained and held his hand out for the bean. She handed it to him and he threw it into the waters. It was swallowed by the waves before a green portal appeared in the waters and Killian steered them toward it.

"Next stop, Neverland!"


"Try to keep your defence higher," Felix said as he lunged at her again. She blocked it, pushing him back and stepped back herself as well to get some distance between them. She then lunged herself, wanting to hit him somewhere on his side but he blocked and twisted her blade, disarming her. "Not bad, but…"

With a swift move she kneeled down and swept him off his feet with her leg. With a thud and a groan he fell to the ground, landing on his back. She grabbed his fallen cutlass and put her knee on his chest, holding the blade against his throat. "You were saying?"

He froze and his eyes went wide with surprise. She laughed at the expression on his face, releasing some of the pressure on his throat. Felix took this opportunity to roll her over so that she was now laying on her back and he sat on top of her, just like when they first met and he tackled her. Only this time he held a cutlass against her throat. She yelped in surprise, but she was still laughing a bit.

"Not bad, but not good enough," he said with his own smile on his lips. She liked it when he smiled, it made him look more careless and more his age. In the way he carried himself she could see that he didn't genuinely smile often, so when he did it was bright and free. She knew he was troubled, that he had a weight on his shoulders, she could see it in his eyes. So when he smiled for her, when the weight seemed to disappear for just a second, she couldn't help but smile just as bright back, couldn't help but feel a bit special that she could free him of his burden.

"Are you going to let me go or are you going to keep staring?" she asked when her laugh had died down, noticing that he had been staring at her and didn't make a move to free her. He smiled sheepishly, ducking his head a little before getting off her. He held out his hand to help her up which she gladly accepted. He handed her back her cutlass before grabbing the one on the ground.

"What happened to your arm?" he asked when they got back in their positions.

"Long story." Felix lunged and she blocked. "Short summery, I was pushed and fell on my arm."

"Doesn't it hurt?"

She lunged, he dodged and blocked when she stroke again.

"Nah, my wounds heal faster than what is normal for a human."

She duck when he swung for her head.

"Then why do you still have the bandages on?"

"Just to be sure."

She lunged and he blocked just in time, but lost his balance a bit and she disarmed him easily.

"You're getting really good," he complemented her with a smirk. If she didn't know better she would have sworn she heard a bit of pride in his voice.

"Daughter of a pirate," she said, smirking back.

"That you are." He picked up the cutlass and walked over to her. "Now that you're getting better at sword fighting, maybe you can teach me some of your fight moves."

She raised an eyebrow at him, tilting her head and crossing her arms. "Don't you know how to fight without a weapon?" she teased him.

"I know how to fight," he said, rolling his eyes. "Only your fighting skills are clearly better than mine."

"Well then." He handed her his cutlass and she place them against a nearby tree. "Show me what you got."

They both got into their fighting position. She immediately noticed some holes in his defence. His hands were too high and too far away from his body. He did stand strong, but he had his side turned to her, making it difficult for him to kick or punch her with the leg and hand he had turned away from her.

She nodded for him to attack. Just like she expected he went in for a punch with his back hand. Because he was turned so far away from her it took him too much time and energy to get to her.

Sophia simply stepped aside, extending her foot and making him stumble over it with a light push on his back. She snickered when he went face first to the ground. He gave her a half-hearted glare as he looked over his shoulder at her. He got up again and brushed the dirt and leafs off his clothing, blushing a bit while doing so.

"Okay. Your stand is strong but you lose that as soon as you attack," she said as she walked over to him, plucking a leaf out of his hair. "keep your feet more firm on the ground and try to keep them next to each other instead of behind."

He got back into position and did as she said.

"Try not to leave to many openings. Hold your hands close to your body but not to close." She went to stand beside him, standing ready to fight. He tried to mimic her as best as he could. "Don't turn your body away too much, keep your everything on parallel to your shoulders. This way you can make a punch with your back hand faster and more powerful, like this."

She demonstrated it and he looked closely. She felt her cheeks warm up under his eyes and turned her head slightly so he wouldn't see it. It was weird how he made her feel. She wasn't a stranger to boys and their complements or the way they stared at her, but somehow Felix was different. Her father had mentioned him a few times when he told her about Neverland. He told her that Felix was heartless, merciless. That he killed people without a second thought. That he was a monster.

But the boy she saw now, the boy who blushed when she came too close, the boy who laughed when she told him a joke, the boy who broke his loyalty to Pan just to help her, that boy was nothing like the monster her father described him as. Yesterday when he had her pinned to the ground she might have believed what her father had told her about him, but as soon as that mask fell she saw the real him. She wondered if anyone else knew about this side of him.

He tried a few times to do the move the same way as she did while she gave him instruction. As she watching him she thought back to the conversation she had with her father that morning after he and her mother went on a date, about how your True Love can change you for the better.

She mentally shook her head. That wasn't it, it couldn't be. She was probably just the only girl he had seen in a million years or so and that changed his behaviour. If she was anything to him it was probably more a sister than anything else. When she would leave again he would forget about her and she about him like nothing happened.

She showed him a few more basics, like how to kick and dodge, before he walked her back to the cave when it started to get dark.

"Do you think I can defeat Pan?" she asked as she leaned against the cave opening.

"You would at least survive for more than 10 seconds," he said and smiled, again with a bit of pried shining in his eyes. "but I have to go now before anyone suspects anything."

She nodded and before she could stop herself the words left her mouth, "Will I see you tomorrow? For training of course," she added quickly.

He clearly didn't expect that question. His eyes widened and he looked behind him, rubbing his neck. "Maybe, I don't know. Only if I can escape Pan without making him think something is up."

"Well, if you succeed in escaping him," she said as pushing herself off the cave wall. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow," he said. And maybe it was just her wishful thinking but it sounded more like a promise than a goodbye.
