8. Papa

We arrived at the camp where everyone else was. Only then did it occur to me that my father might not believe me. I needed a plan. I didn't have one, so I just kept walking.

"Elizabeth, why won't you tell us who your father is?", asked Bae.

"Because you don't want to know."

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure, yes. But I suppose you have to."

I walked up to the group of people waiting.

"Who is this?", asked Snow White.

"This is Elizabeth", said Baelfire, "I met her while I was out looking. She said she was looking for -"

"Baelfire, please be quiet."

"I go by Neal now."

"Not in the Enchanted Forest, you don't. It's not your name."

"Whatever."

I walked up to my Papa. He looked at me and a strange look came over his face.

"Why... why do you look like..."

"Milah? Because I do. Because you have to remember me."

My Papa just looked confused, but Baelfire looked at me, shocked.

"Why did you have to drink that potion to forget about me?"

"Potion... forget... I don't..."

"Papa, you have to remember me!", I said, ignoring the shocked gasps of everyone else.

"Papa? I don't have a child!"

"Yes, you do! Please remember! It's me, Elizabeth! Your little pirate?"

He just looked more confused. Then I remembered the locket. The one that had pictures of him and Mama, and a picture of me. I gave it to him.

"Remember me now?".

His face changed as he looked at it. Then he looked at me.

"Elizabeth!"

"Papa? You remember me?"

"Of course I remember you, my little pirate!"

He picked me up and swung me around.

"Papa, I'm not 6 anymore!"

"Clearly. How old are you now?"

"I'm 13"

"Oh. If you're alive, though, that means you were in -"

"Neverland. Yes, Papa, I was."

I was so happy to have my Papa back, I had forgotten about everybody else. Snow White and Prince Charming were staring at me. Everyone else was staring at my Papa. Bae was still in shock, staring at me, looking as though he hadn't blinked or moved the entire time.

"Bae? Going to unfreeze anytime soon?"

He broke out of his trance and spoke. "So... you're my..."

"Sister."

"And... he's your..."

"Papa? Yes, Bae, he is."

Every time I said the word Papa, Bae seemed to flinch a little bit. He stared at me, for a long time. After a while, Belle spoke up.

"Um, what about those powers of yours?"

I chuckled. "Oh, right, those."

My Papa looked at me, surprised. Regina did too.

"You have magic?", they both asked at the same time.

"Yes, I do."

"Well... how did that happen, Elizabeth?", my Papa asked.

I looked up at him. "It's kind of a long story."

A/N: Next chapter, Elizabeth is going to tell her story. Everything will be explained, including who Charlotte is and who Isabella and Charlie (on the list of people she hates) are. So, there will not actually be any action next chapter. However, the chapter after that should be very exciting.
