Seriously, this is the best response I have ever got and I don't know how to express my love and gratitude enough. I don't have enough words for it. I really, really am blown away by you all. Thank you, everyone!

Review Responses

joompan98: Aww I'm so glad you feel that way. You don't have to choose a team yet. Personally, I'm rooting for them both and I guess I'm waiting to see who Abigail chooses just as much as you guys are. Thank you! :D

grapejuice101: The next chapter's going to have both Peter and Felix moments so there'll be more of Peter then. Abigail's very protective of Henry. Everyone loves Henry. Thank you! :D

Chapter Four

This time, Abigail did not wake up to the feeling of water being splashed all over her. Instead, she woke up to the intense feeling that she was being watched. Opening one eye, she saw Felix sitting on the armchair next to her. As soon as he realised he had been spotted, his lips pulled up into a crooked smile.

"Good morning, princess. I was wondering when you were planning on waking up."

Begrudgingly, she dragged herself into a sitting position, wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"Pan fixed your arm, I see," She looked down at where her sleeve had ridden up in her sleep and sure enough, it was as good as new, "He told me to give you those." He pointed over to the table where there was a pile of forest-coloured fabrics.

She frowned, "What is it?"

"I believe," he pushed himself up from the chair and walked over to the table, where he picked up the top piece of green material, "They're your old clothes."

"He kept them?"

In answer, he threw the fabric to her, which unravelled in the air. Abigail found herself holding something that she never thought she would see again. It was her favourite dress from times gone by. Dark green and fraying at the edges, it could barely hold a shape but it used to fit her perfectly. The hem of the skirt was all over the place, short in some places and long in others. Its sleeves cut off jaggedly at the elbows and its neckline had been torn a little lower than she had become used to but it was still wearable.

She could remember the day Peter gave it to her, another one of his many gifts. The moment she had put it on in the place of her old Enchanted Forest dress – which was much too impractical for the jungle – she had felt like one of the Lost Ones. From that moment on, she was officially a lost girl.

"Do you think it'll still fit?" she asked, absent-mindedly stroking the rough material.

"Well you haven't exactly changed in twenty-eight years."

She snorted, sarcastically, "I don't look a day over sixteen."

"You don't look any older than when you were last here."

"Actually, I was in the Enchanted Forest for three months before the Curse hit, and it broke a couple of months ago. It's my twenty-ninth seventeenth birthday in three weeks," she said, laughing. Felix chuckled too.

"Aren't you forgetting all the times you turned seventeen in Neverland?"

Her laughter stopped. Her voice became sour as she pushed away the duvet, "One more can't hurt, I suppose." She threw the dress back into his arms with a surprising amount of force, "I'm not wearing them. I'm not a lost girl anymore. My dad's looking for me and when he finds me, I'm taking Henry and going home."

She was about to storm out of the treehouse at that point but something stopped her. It was his eyes. She noticed for the first time just how exhausted Felix looked, how weary he seemed. And there was something in his eyes. A secret. Determination. Guilt. He was hiding something from her.

"What happened?" she asked with a slight tremble in her voice. She stepped closer, her body screaming intimidation, tense, ready to fight. Her voice rose dangerously, "Where's Henry? What have you done to him?"

Felix looked down at her, clenching his jaw, "Henry's safe."

"So what happened? That's why he brought me here, wasn't it? To keep me out of the way. Tell me! What did you do?"

A spark of fury leapt out of her heart, whipping her hand out but he caught it before it could touch him. Holding her hand in his, he stared into her eyes and she felt her stomach flip.

"There was a fight," he said, carefully, "That's all."

There was something else, she was certain of it. He was still not telling her something important.

She narrowed her eyes, "I don't believe you."

"We had to move the camp, and a fight broke out. It's fine; it's been fixed. Pan dealt with it."

It still wasn't right. If they were just moving the camp, why did she have to be put so far out of the way? And then it clicked. There was a fight, but not between the boys like he was making it seem; her dad had been there. She could feel it. His eyes told her. They had been fighting her dad, and if he was there then so were Henry's mothers.

She felt tears prickle her eyes like tiny daggers. She jerked her hand out of his.

"What did you do to them?"

He played dumb, "Everyone's fine now. Henry was out of the way. He wasn't hurt either."

"Not them," she spat, "My dad. Henry's mum."

He ran a hand through his hair. He couldn't tell her the truth; it could ruin everything. She couldn't know that barely an hour ago, he had been duelling her father to the death while Emma, the Evil Queen, Snow White and Prince Charming all fought around them. Luckily for everyone, Pan had called it off before he could deliver the final strike to Hook. Her father was still out there somewhere. But Felix knew that if Abigail knew that, she'd never stop running away.

He wasn't ready to lose her yet.

He spoke patronisingly, "They're. Not. Coming. For you."

She felt like she was going to scream. Every fibre of her being was on fire, and she just wanted to throw things and scream and cry and escape. They were coming! She knew they were. They wouldn't just abandon her. They wouldn't leave Henry. They were coming, and they were there in Neverland looking for them.

Unless they were hurt. Or worse. Is that what Felix meant? Were they not coming because they couldn't? Because they were dead.

Felix sighed, "Sit down, Abigail."

After a brief hesitation, she did as he said and perched on the edge of the bed. He stood towering in front of her. She looked at the floor, trying to stop her eyes from leaving salty tracks down her cheeks.

"You're lucky, you know," he said, in what must have been an attempt at a comforting tone, "You're probably the only person to keep slipping through Pan's fingers and get forgiven every time. But you need to be careful. One of these days, you're going to run out of chances. And I'm not always going to be there to pick up the pieces."

She looked up then, confused, "When have you ever picked up the pieces? All you've ever done is what Pan's told you to do. How long have you even been here? Do you remember life before Neverland at all?"

He turned away. He couldn't stand to see her so oblivious to everything that he had done for her. Everything he had done to protect her. He had thought that maybe she might have connected the dots, that maybe she would have seen beyond the act he put on. But she hadn't. She still believed that he was another mindless follower.

She thought she understood him, but she didn't. Pan had saved him. He was in his debt. He was his friend. But he wasn't mindless.

When he looked back at her, he had made sure to remove all emotion from his face, "Are you sure you don't want to get changed?"

She looked down at her clothes. The stripy jumper she had been wearing for too long had become bobbly from not drying properly, and her jeans – which had been too tight around the hips from the start – had got even more uncomfortable. It wouldn't hurt her to get changed into something more comfortable.

"Fine," she sighed, getting up and grabbing the dress from the table where Felix had left it crumpled. She looked back at him with an eyebrow raised, waiting, "Well?"

"Well what?"

"Leave!"

He paused, but then shook his head and headed towards the ladder, "I'm going to be right outside. Please don't try to run."

She got dressed quickly. The dress still fit. It felt right. The scratchy material felt like returning home from a long, tiresome day at school. After re-lacing her boots, she was about to go down the ladder when she spotted a piece of long, black fabric at the bottom of the pile. She slipped it away from the others and shook it out. It was her old lost girl cloak.

It can't do any harm, she thought, throwing it over her shoulders.

When she climbed down the ladder, Felix smirked at the sight of her.

"Just like the old days," he said, and began to lead her back to camp.

A/N: Drop me a review to let me know what you think of this chapter :) What do you think's the mystery around Felix? I think he's a complicated guy with a lot of layers and maybe JUST MAYBE Abby is one of those layers...

Find me on Twitter (/BethyXmae) and Tumblr ( .com)! Until next time!
