AN: Here is chapter 2 guys. Enjoy! Do Not Own Anything.
Chapter 2: Neverland
Emma was standing in front of her parents, Regina, Rumple, and Hook telling them they need to work together to get Henry back. Emma agreed to do whatever it took to get her son back, and she had a sinking feeling that meant she would have to come into her magic abilities. David and Snow were not too happy about their daughter using magic, but they didn't have a lot of options.
Rumple took lead of the group and lead them to a spot where they would make camp for the night. Emma didn't want to stop but she felt exhausted and must be at her best when they went up against Pan. Hook and David went off to gather fire wood, Regina and Snow set up camp, and Rumple and Emma went to look for food. Emma was practically falling asleep where she stood, and Rumple could tell she was about to pass out from exhaustion. He stopped her and made her sit down and take a drink of water, and she smiled up at him in thanks.
"You should have stayed back at the camp. I could have done this on my own." Rumple said
"I don't want to just sit on my hands and wait." Emma said
"Well you won't do anybody any good if you pass out from exhaustion." Rumple replied
"My son is out there somewhere and I have no idea if he is okay or not. You of all people should know how I am feeling." Emma snapped
"You're right." Rumple sighed
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out that way." Emma apologized
"Don't apologize to me Emma. You're right I know how you're feeling, which is why I am telling you to take care of yourself. I drove myself made looking for my son, and I don't want to see the same thing happen with you." Rumple explained
"Thank you for being here. I know we haven't exactly gotten along since we met, but I am glad you are here now." Emma said sweetly
"So change of subject, are you going to use your magic?" Rumple asked
"If I have to." Emma said
"Well we are going up against someone more evil-minded than myself, and I was the way I was because of the Dark One curse, the loss of my wife, and my son. Pan is just pure selfish evil." Rumple said
"How do you know Pan?" Emma asked
"A question for another time dearie. That is one answer I don't think anyone is ready to hear, and one I am not really ready to admit." Rumple replied
"Okay fair enough. So we should keep going." Emma said getting up
Rumple nodded and Emma walked in front of him with a grin on her face. Emma knew that this feeling she was having for Rumple was new, and scary but she liked it. She quickly put any thoughts of that kind out of her mind because he was in love with Belle, and she was anxiously awaiting his return back to Storybrooke.
Rumple watched as Emma went ahead of him and he smiled to himself. Emma was getting to him and he was letting her, but he had to stop thinking that way because of Belle. Belle was his true love wasn't she? So why did he have feelings for the savior?
The Next Day
Emma had a nice night's sleep, and was ready to take the day on. When she woke up Rumple was nowhere in sight. She got up and saw her mother getting a bow, and her father getting his sword.
"Have you guys seen Rumple?" Emma asked
"He left early this morning. He said he would meet up with us as soon as he could." David answered
Emma didn't say anything else in return she just walked a way into the jungle and looked off into the distance. She couldn't understand these feelings she was having now, because her only focus should've been Henry that is what she kept telling herself that. Hook wandered over to Emma and looked at her questioningly.
"Are you alright Swan?" Hook asked
"Do I look alright?" She remarked
"No. You look awful luv." Hook replied
"Leave me alone Hook." She said
"No. We got to go if you plan on meeting up with him sooner than later." Hook said
"What are you talking about?" Emma asked
"The crocodile. Don't think I didn't see the glances you two kept giving each other." Hook stated
"Hook he has a girlfriend, and I'm focused on finding my son." Emma said
"Even so Swan but that doesn't change that you two feel something for one another. We will find Henry." Hook said
"Thank you Hook, and thanks for letting Rumple on your ship." Emma said
"No problem Swan, as long as he doesn't try to kill me we don't have a problem." Hook nodded
Emma smiled at Hook and hugged him. It was odd but Hook had become a friend to Emma, and she was glad that he was here.
Across the island Rumple was cutting his shadow away from his body with his dagger and then had his shadow hide it where Pan wouldn't find it. He was not sure what Pan had planned but he knew that he had to take every precaution before going up against him. While he was walking through the forest making his way back to the group he thought of Emma and wondered if she thought he deserted them. Then he quickly shook the thought and asked himself why he cared what Emma thought of him. He pushed the thoughts of Emma Swan out of his mind for now, and kept on walking. He was too distracted to know the pair of eyes following him.
