Ok I know I know I'm a terrible person for not updating sooner sorry. Exams and school have been getting to me. So in this chapter we'll get to see Tigerlily's darkside. And by darkside I mean yes she can be like Peter at times but she keeps it hidden. We'll also see the fairytale gang in this chapter finally
Blabla don't own anything except my characters and plotline blah blah
I continued to walk through the dark forest. Beasties or quicksand would try to get in my way every once in a while but I'd just lift my hand and poof, they'd be gone. I eventually stopped at a large pool of water in the center of the forest. This pool was my own personal one, nobody else except Pan knew about it. It's waters were crystal clear, and jewels and gems would glimmer and gleam under the beautiful water. I smiled and quickly got undressed, taking off the tight leather that confined me, before stepping into the pool slowly. I basked in the warmth of the water as I walked in, the feel of it on my skin, it seemed to wash away all bad magic that surrounded me for a second. I smirked, if only that could ever happen. By the time I was near the center my neck was under the water and my feet had gone to kicking in order to keep my head up. I dived under the water, grabbing a few items from the bottom before resurfacing and laughing. I had to admit, I missed this feeling. When me and Malcom had just arrived here nights in this pool were common and usually ended with both of us spooning laying on a blanket and looking up at the night stars.
I stopped. Was I actually missing him? That poor pathetic cowardly excuse for a man? I shook the thoughts out of my head, never would I ever miss him. This pool, yes I could miss that, who wouldn't? But him, no. I sighed before just floating on my back for a bit, occasionally moving my arms so I could continue to stay afloat before I heard something. Make that multiple somethings. They were footsteps, and they were coming directly toward my general area. I quickly lifted myself out of the water before snapping my fingers, making my clothing look torn and tattered. I focused and hissed a bit as I began to make cuts morph onto my skin, showing on my face. The pain hurt but I could tell these people were against Pan. I had to make myself look as scared and helpless as possible.
The first one to run towards me was a woman with blonde hair, she seemed to be a bit aggressive seeing as how as soon as she saw me she raised her sword to my face. I covered my face and turned away from her "Please...d-don't hurt me...he already did and...and..." with that I bursted into "tears" covering my face and shaking my head as sobs racked through my body. The woman lowered her sword and looked at me concerned "Hey...it's ok we won't hurt you"
"Who's that?" I heard a woman ask. I looked up to see two other women with black hair, ones was long and ones was short. I bit my lip before crying even harder. "She must be a prisoner of Pan's, come on sweetie we'll take you with us". I looked up with hopeful big brown eyes "Y-you will?". The blonde woman nodded. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her in a hug, tears still running down my cheeks"Oh thank you so much, he's been keeping me here so long, I'd thought I'd never escape"
The woman seemed to smiled and wrapped her arms around me before helping me stand up. "What's your names?" I asked them. "I'm Regina" the woman with long black hair said. I knew that woman, she and I used to do deal way back, but then I was in another form. Not in my true one like I am now. "I'm Snow" The woman with short hair said. Like I didn't know who she was, her story's pretty famous among the lost boys. "And I'm Emma, pleased to meet you" she held her hand out for me to shake which I did and hesitantly smiled. "I-I'm Sarah" I lied "It's so nice to meet you"
Time skip
"So I was given orders to go fetch some water and that's when you found me" I finished my story on how I had arrived here. Regina raised an eyebrow "And he did all that to you?" she asked and looked at the cuts on my face. I nodded "Y-yeah...sometimes h-he...he makes me go into his tent and..." I started to cry again. tears fell down my face. I know it's a touchy subject to even bring up but hey, if they buy it sell it. Emma put her arm over my shoulder "I'm so sorry". Snow reached out and touched my arm softly "We promise he'll never touch you again". I sniffed "T-thank you really but I don't deserve it"
"Why?" Snow asked as we walked. I only smiled weakly, my dark side was being revived and I could feel it. What once lay dormant for what may have been hundreds of years revived. I could feel it, the sweetest of syrups seemed to spread through me. It was like a drug, to feel the dark side come over you once more is something that takes you so high you can never come down.
"Oh Snow..." I clicked my tongue and moved her hand from my shoulder before stopping in the center of the clearing, right in front of his wishing tree. I looked up at it and sighed "You really should be careful with your judgement of character dear..."
"What do you mean sweetie? Are you ok, you're acting pretty strange" Emma said and felt my forehead. I only moved my head away from her hand "My name is not sweetie, you have no right to call me that". I could feel it. The same words my mother spoke of me as a child rang through my ears 'As regal as a queen, as beautiful as a flower, and as deadly as a tiger'. I turned to the three women and smiled "Hello ladies, let me properly introduce myself"
My cuts slowly closed up and faded away making it seem like nothing ever happened. My skin had become clear of all dirt and blood that had once covered it. Mhy clothing had changed to. I had meant to change back into my original leather, but from afar I could feel something manipulating my own powers. Instead of the tight leather pants and deer skin shirt, a dress brushed over my skin. It was soft, almost like silk, but it was brown and light and flowy, almost an angelic like glow to it. I felt a bit of weight to my hair too and felt it only to find that there were golden beads on each lock, four in a row that perfectly glinted and shined in the moonlight. I also felt weight at the top of my head, my hand immediately reached up only to feel a chain like crown adorning my head, with a pearl that dropped in the center right in the middle of my forehead. As I took my hand away from my new crown a twig seemed to come right for my hand, this twig began to change and morph until finally it became a scepter of some sort, with a green gemstone in the middle.
I stood up taller, finding even more confidence in this new "look". By mere instinct I began to move the scepter, and the three women in front of me moved with it. I laughed as they lifted into the air and began to swirl around like rag dolls. I felt a hand around my waist and knew it was Peter "Liking your new gifts?" he asked me, I could practically hear the smirk in his voice.
I smiled and looked up at him "I love them, thank you my darling" I purred. Yeah, I did despise him, but the guy just gave me a gift. So why not give him a little credit. I pecked him on the cheek and went back to twirling the women around laughing, him laughing with me.
After a while I got bored and finally flung them against the tree, it's vines instantly wrapped around the three of them. I did a little curtsy "Now where was I? Oh right, who I am again..." I began to pace back and forth while putting on a thinking face. Making people angry was so fun, especially when they're helpless. "I'm not the shadow" I mumbled. "I'm not Peter Pan himself, that's my hu-partner. No...and I'm not Wendy either, too fragile to be me. I wonder..."
"Just tell us who the hell you are" Regina snapped. I only chuckled and poked her nose with my finger "Oh hush kitten. I for one feel a bit offended Regina, you don't know me?" I raised an eyebrow at her
She tilted her head back, the look on her face told me how done she was with this entire situation. But I was only just getting started.
"I do know you..."
"You do?" I questioned her
"You were that sick little brat..."
"She's getting warmer" Peter said in a sing song voice behind me
"You took all my money, all my powers, pretty much everything I owned..."
"Moi?"
"Yes you! Don't you fucking play dumb" she yelled at me
I clicked my tongue , "Now Regina, is that any way to treat a princess"
"Waitwaitwait" I sighed and snapped my head towards Emma "What?" I growled between clenched teeth.
"You're tigerlily?". I did a fake gasp and smacked my head "Oh my god! She finally found the answer!" I yelled sarcastically. "And what does she win dear?" Peter questioned behind me
"Hmmm, death is much too quick..." I tapped my chin. "How about...torture and captivity?". I felt Peter's arms wrap around my waist "Your wish, is my command" I laughed with him feeling happy as the devil on a saturday night whenever suddenly an arrow shot right at a tree next to us
"Where's Henry!" I heard a man yell behind us. I sighed and turned to look, raising my staff and getting ready to fight once more"God I hate intterup-" My sentence was cut off and I paused.
I looked at the man. There were two others standing behind him but he...I think I knew him...I don't think...I know I knew him..he was...Oh gods
"Rumple..." I whispered under my breath, and before I even had time to react, everything suddenly went black
