This one is a little short, but quick to the point. After the next chapter I'll open my focus up to the other characters.
Ch 4
Story Brooke
Jade looked in the mirror, through those years of abuse, this was the only mark that was easily visible and non-hide able. Because the only makeup she owned was a little lip gloss, and Dina had little make-up as well, she had no way of hiding this bruise. She was only in purple pj's and her school uniform lay on her bed. Dina said that Jade could've stayed home today and let the mark fade, but Jade wasn't that type of person. After getting dressed quickly and heading downstairs she could smell pancakes. "Hello Jade." Kurt said. "Hey Kurt." Jade answered. The trio ate quickly and Jade left with her school bag under arm, she hummed 'Like a Rose' by Ashley Moore as she walked to the Mayor's house to get Henry-that-was-not-Henry, who was already waiting for her. "What happened?" He asked. She just waved it off, if this was the real Henry, she would've told, but it wasn't. The point was to keep things as normal as possible, not to make him seen they knew he wasn't Henry. Jade was just waiting for a question he would ask her that the real Henry would know. But none came, so Jade just kept humming. "What do you think of the Lost Boys?" He finally said as they neared the bus stop. "Some are nice, but that Felix gets on my nerves." Jade glances down at the Henry-that's-not-Henry and his look is guarded, it that way someone insults your best friend. "He's not that bad." Finally finding a subject that was un-Henry like, Jade continued. "I don't know about that, he won't leave me alone. Wants me to become a Lost Girl or something."
"Really, why?"
"You know why, I can tell you're lying."
"No, I mean what makes you a Lost Girl?"
"Don't you already know?" He goes silent. Not much evidence, but it's something. Both climbed on the bus, Henry sat next to Paige and Jade plopped down with her friends who kept asking what had happened.
The Henry-that-wasn't-Henry (I'm just gonna say Peter Pan, ok?) walked into class with a chatty Paige. Some kids said hello and others just sat there. Peter Pan pulled the book out of Henry's back-pack. He could feel the magic that the book contained. Mary Margret, or Ms. Blanchard, stood in the front of the room. "Hello class, for history class I'd thought we would study France." Everyone in class leaned forward, Peter Pan was still trying to understand this crazy new world he was in right now, and this was actually helping.
Jade was sitting on the bench at the old playground. With Henry not the same, and the fact she saw a shadow flying around the other night and with Mother Superior dead, she felt off. Sometimes she felt like she was waiting. But she didn't know for what. "Hey beautiful." Felix said behind her. "Don't call me that." Felix raised an eyebrow and sat next to her. "You mean don't tell the truth?"
"If you're so intent on telling the truth, tell me what happened to Henry." Jade said harshly, then added a growl for extra measure. "My little wolf, I have no clue what you're talking about." He reached up and the tips of his fingers brushed her bruise. Jade uncontrollably whimpered, and Felix smirked, "My beautiful little wolf, what's it like?" Jade blinked, "What's what like?" Felix laughed. "Being a wolf, of course." His fingers lingered on the mark. "I see you're copying me." Indicating the feathers she had pinned in her hair. "It's a freedom, that no matter how long you stay young, that you can never obtain. The feeling of the night wind and moonlight as you run through the forest, it's not a feeling you could ever wish for, or wish away." Jade said dreamily. "What was it like having the wolf in you, trapped?"
"The wolf doesn't like being trapped, it's bloodthirsty. It's like being trapped in the dark, and seeing a light you can never reach. Then when the wolf in released, it's as if that small light explodes into a thousand brilliant colors, blinding you and your senses. You just black out." He stares at her and Jade stands up. "I'd best be going." Jade walks away.
"Psst, Jade." A voice whispered, she turned and saw a boy about her age hiding in an alley. "Who are you?"
"It's Henry. Trust me." He tapped his foot three times, their code for 'I'm Here'. "Henry?" She gave him a hug. "What happened?" He explained to her what happened. "I am so sorry, do you need my help with anything?" He nodded. "I need a friend, and you seem to be the only one who can get Peter Pan and Felix to Mr. Gold's shop." Jade nodded and hugged Henry again. "When?"
"Two hours would be good." She smiled "On it." She turned and left to complete her part of the mission.
Glad you're still with me. Like I said, it's kinda AU. Oh, and also, I am doing this as a multi-crossover. First will be Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, which will appear kinda in chapter 5. I'm only crossovering for the chapters that are in other shows. Yea, I shoulda mentioned that earlier.
