Chapter three

Clary stared at the man in front of her. A wave of emotions swept over her, joy that she was seeing her old friend, relief that it wasn't the lost ones, wonder was she dead, is that how she was seeing him? and rage, for the fact he came back to Neverland!.

She had one magic bean, she was keeping for when the time came that she would leave Neverland, but she didn't know when that would be. She knew how much it meant to Killian to get back to the enchanted forest and kill Rumplestilkin, after being in Neverland with her for a very long time she decided to give him the bean so that he could get back and get his revenge.

She hadn't given it to him so that-what was it 30 years later- he could come back trapping himself here yet again. She gave it to him so he could get some kind of fulfilment and then move on with his life. Had he failed in killing Rumplestilkin and returned for more time to think up a plan? Had he come back for her? Why was he here?

She looked at him in shock, seeing a similar expression on the face in front of her. She couldn't help the smile that spread across her face.

"Killian"

He returned her smile, "Clary" she couldn't help but throw her arms around him pulling into a warm embrace, she heard him let out a slight chuckle as he held her, "its good to see you too lass".

She pulled out of it pushing him backwards, "what the HELL are you doing back here?" as she spoke she noticed a blonde behind him. She looked at her for a moment before looking back to Killian, "Who's your friend?"

He turned to look at the women and gestured towards her "Mitchell swan, swan Mitchell". She gave him an annoyed look before walking towards the blonde, "Mitchell is my surname, I'm Clary" she gave the women a smile.

"I'm Emma"

"it's nice to meet you Emma, but what are you both doing here?"

She noticed Killian and Emma exchange a look before Emma nodded at him. "we are trying to find someone" he told her hesitantly.

She looked at him curiously, "do you have any idea where they could be?"

It was Emma who spoke next "We think peter pan has him" she said his name like it was a joke.

She looked at Killian worried "do you have any idea where he might be Clary?"

"i might have an idea" she looked at Emma "do you have some kind of image of him?" She asked as Emma pulled a little black box out of her pocket, what the hell was that thing? Emma stepped forward holding it out towards her "its my son". She studied it for a moment and her heart dropped as she turned to Killian giving him a knowing look. His gaze dropped from hers, Emma had noticed the looks between them "what's wrong?"

Clary turned towards her, "I'm guessing he hasn't told you?" her tone had changed.

"Tell me what?" she shot Killian a death glare before turning back towards her.

She couldn't look at her "Pan has been looking for a certain boy, for a long time, I have been here a very long time Emma, and for all that time he has been searching for this boy. The shadow takes children from there homes and brings them here in hopes that it is the boy he needs, but it never is. He has never been able to find him" she looked at Killian and then back to Emma "clearly, until now"

Emma's face was filled with confusion and anger, "so what? Are you telling me that the boy he wants is my son?"

"Yes Emma that's what she is telling you" it was Killian that spoke

Emma looked between them both "why does he want him"

"I have no idea, I don't think anyone does even the lost ones. Pan has only ever made it clear that he wants him." she looked at Emma "and when pan wants something. He doesn't stop until he gets it" She turned towards Killian.

He gave her an apologetic look "still?" She simply nodded in return.

"so what now?" the blonde spoke. Clary looked at her "you have a fight on your hands, one with someone nobody wants to face"

Emma shot a determined look "I don't care who I have to face, I am getting my son back!"

"I promised I would help you get your son back lass, and We will get him back" Killian reassured Emma. Clary noticed the looks between them, there was something there. Were they together? If they weren't it sure looked like it. She could see it, a look In his eyes she had never seen before and Emma had a similar look on her face.

She watched them for a moment before breaking the moment by clearing her throat "I hate to break this little moment you are having but what exactly is your plan to get your son back" she stepped forward "because if it is simply just go in their as hell blazing ready for a fight, then you wont last 5 minutes"

Emma shot her an annoyed look "trust me that's-" Clary turned to Killian "is she serious?" she was almost laughing "because if that is your only plan..." she trailed of giving him a, come on! Stare.

"We will think of something" he grinned "but she" he nodded towards Emma "is a strong lass, quite like you, her rage is enough to take down quite a few of them" she turned towards Emma and smiled at her "Well then it came from the mouth of a pirate so it must be true" Emma smiled back at her "pirates are always right" the two of them started laughing.

"Yes laugh away but you wont be when you need my help swan" they stopped laughing and looked at him. "I hate to break it to you buddy but I bet you at lake nostos-"

"I am over 300 years old do you really think you beat me" Clary watched the two of them biting her lip holding back a laugh.

"what ever hook, We should get going we need to get back to the others" she looked at them others? there was more of them? She could help them. She knew this place like the back of her hand.

"Clary?" she looked at Killian snapping out of it, "yes?" "We could use your help. I hate to admit it but you know this place even more than I do" could he read her mind? she wanted to help but, "If you would help" it was Emma talking this time "I-uh-It would be great" She looked at the both and nodded. "Thank you" Emma thanked her with a smile as she began to walk away. Killian began to walk after her but Clary grabbed his arm, "if it comes to going up against the lost ones,I can't help you Killian, and I won't kill any of them" she looked him in the eye as she spoke, he was looking back at her "I know that lass, And I don't want you too if something goes wrong and pan finds you..." he trailed of she knew what he was going to say, "As long as we are on the same page" she said before walking in the direction Emma had gone.
