I walk deeper and deeper into the forest, waiting for a clearing to call for the dark one. Pan had explained to me not to mention himself if I am to ever have to need help from the dark one, because of 'family' issues. I sit myself down on a rock on the side of the clearing and decide to eat a bit. I have been searching all day. I eat the nuts the women gave me, they're not as good as the islands.

I finish them quickly leaving some for dinner. I stand up, fearing what I will face. I walk to the center. I'm about to speck when I hear a voice behind me.

"Hello deary," said the man behind me that I know to be the dark one.

"Hello Rumpelstiltskin," I say a bit frightened. I'm not frightened, I just hope it will give me the best chance at him helping me.

"Shouldnt you be with family. A curse is coming you know."

"I don't have any. My father abandoned me and my mother was a drunk." He has a look of sympathy on his face, something I heard was extremely rare. I walk towards him showing him my wrist. "Please can you help me?" I plead.

"Who put this on you?"

"My father, please can you take them off."

"And and what is in it for me?" The sympathy clearly gone.

"Me out of your way, I heard that I am extremely powerful." I probably just screwed up. "And you can keep the cuffs. They are of no use to me." I hold my wrist out still.

"Deal," he said as he laughed. He snatched them off my wrist. I hold my wrist in pain. I had had them on for a while and with the rope on them had made the cuffs tighten on them. He turns away.

"Sir," I say. "Their is still one thing I desire."

"And what is that deary," he turns back to me. "I took of the cuffs, you are now free to use your magic."

"Yes I know but there is another thing. I know all magic comes at a price, but do believe you can take me home, and let me stay there." My voice darker, no longer frightened. He is obviously didn't see this coming. "You though I was a weak little girl didn't you. No. I am much more than that. There is a prophecy saying I am stronger than you and that if I am taught correctly I could destroy you. However I am not that good yet, and if you take me home, I will never get in your way ever, I promise. And I never break a promise." The whole time I circled around him, acting like the lost girl I am. Taunting him. "Is that a deal Rumpelstiltskin."

"And what is your home," he ask oblivious to the obvious.

"Oh, you know clear and well don't you. Your just afraid to admit it aren't you Rumple."

"How can I be afraid of a little girl."

"You forgot one single word in that sentence."

"Where?"

"Before girl." I turn and walk away. I go to sit on a rock. He is befuddled, completely dumbfounded to my not so much a riddle. "So Mr. Rumpelstiltskin, Dark One, what ever you prefer, do we have a deal." An evil smirk playing on my lips.

"...Deal... By night fall you will return home." An odd smirk plays on his lips, marketing me want to back out of this deal.

"Shake on it?" I hold out my hand. He walks forward and shakes my hand. I'm not frightened my the texture, try shaking hands with slightly right after him mud bath after he touched the sand on the beach. He teleports away. I jump of the rock.

"I'm coming him boys!" I laugh with excitement. I run into the forest, jumping up in down with excitement, doing flips out of boredom and pure joy, and cart wheels for the fun of it. I run into the village to see people hiding I house's, all huddling together as a family. I'll be home with my family tonight. I teleport on to a roof and sit down, watching the sun set. I stay there, wishing I was home now. With Peter Pan, Slightly, Mikayla, Skylar, and the lost boys. Now that I think of it Rufeo is dead, I'll have to face that.

I may have to face Hook again. A man I heart with all my heart, Neverland hates Hook than. If I don't return home, Neverland will begin to die, it might have already started. Pan will have to search for that one person, The truest believer. Pan told me about this person but never should me the picture of him. He said we didn't need him anymore now that I was there. Neverland will grow darker with each day, Peter will do the same. Felix will just stay Felix, I mean he is pretty dark and creepy for a lost boy.

I watch the moon take the nights sky. I can hear gets from the castle, a baby is being born I heard, on a day like this would be hard for the parents. I watch the purple fog roll in over the vast seas and over the rugged hills. It engulfs the castle and all the people within. It Carey's on the village taking people by surprise. Taking the farms to with it, startling the horses and sending the dogs barking.

It is less that half a mile away from me. My mind is only thinking of Neverland, of Peter Pan, of the lost boys, of fairys, and all thing that belong and are part on Neverland. A single year falls on my cheek as I can't wait to he'd home...

I lay in my bed, wondering about other worlds out there. I sit up after hearing a strange noise. I look and see a boy about my age and an inch or two taller than me. I bolt out of bed grabbing my hokey stick. I charge and press the end of the stick to his neck.

"Who are you?" I demand. He is about to speak when I interrupt him. "Your properly one of the boys from the all boy orphanage across the street. Listen okay, sorry for pranking y'all. I just could resist it. Plus your reactions where hilarious."

I take a step back from him releasing the stick from his neck. He looks vaguely familiar in a way. "Now leave okay, I want to get some sleep."

"You don't remember me, do you?" He ask with his cute British accent.

"Um... sorry I don't think so. Now leave okay before you get caught, the foster people will think something 'happened' okay. Night." I turn around and sit on my bed setting the stick where it belongs. I look back to where the boy was and he was gone. "Huh."

I shake it of and go to sleep.

"Goodnight love," the voice of the boy said as I was half asleep.
