The next morning Sophia woke earlier than normally. She tried to roll over and sleep a bit more but somehow couldn't find a comfortable position. So she got out of bed and prepared herself for the day. What should she tell her parents? Hey, I'm going to Felix. You know, the guy you told me to stay away from.

Yeah, that was probably not the best way to say where she was going. Maybe she could just tell them she was going to Violet. She didn't like lying to her parent, but she had to figure this out. Violet didn't believe in magic, Felix did. And he was remembering. Plus, she told him she would tell him what she found out yesterday.

She still didn't know what to think of him. Everyone, including himself, seemed to believe he was a monster, but she just couldn't see that. The things she had read about him were sometimes horrible, but behind every action she could find a reason. Maybe there was a small part in her that hoped he could change, would change for her. That, because she could see past the monster, he could see it too, become the man she saw and leave the lost boy behind.

Fully dressed and ready to go, Sophia opened her parents' bedroom door to tell them she was going now, while still lost in thought. She was about to tell them where she was going when she saw her father towering over her mother while kissing her neck and immediately covered her eyes.

"Sophia!" her mother said surprised, but Sophia didn't remove her hand from her eyes.

"I'm going to Violet, bye," she said quickly and left the room, closing the door behind her and rushed downstairs. She tried to erase the image from her mind as she grabbed a water bottle and some fruits and placed them in her bag. Note to self: always knock before entering you parents' bedroom.

Sophia shook her head and took a bite from an apple as she closed the front door. She walked down the few steps of the porch and through the white gate. Only then she realised that she didn't really know where she should go to. She could go to Felix and Peter's treehouse, but what if they were still asleep? What if they didn't expect her and she would run in a more awkward situation than she already had done this morning?

She slowed her pass. What if Felix didn't want to see her? Didn't remember that she told him she would tell him bullshit information about a stupid curse that she found out, today? He probably thought she was crazy for believing this bullshit. He was probably just messing with her yesterday. She sighed and threw the unfinished apple in a trashcan, suddenly not feeling very hungry anymore. What was she supposed to do?

Soft long black hair, brilliant green eyes, adorable pointy ears and a smiled that lit every piece of darkness in his soul was all Felix dream of last night. In his dreams he could feel the hair slip through his fingers, could feel she softness of her skin against his. She smiled at him with a smile only meant for him. He never wanted to wake up…

"Someone's happy," Peter said and Felix eyes shot open. He jumped and almost fell out of bed when he saw Peter kneeling before him, looking at him closely.

"Dude, what the hell!"

Peter rolled her his eyes and stood up. "You've been wearing that stupid grin ever since I woke up. It a miracle you haven't moaned her name, yet."

Felix rubbed his eyes. "What are you talking about?"

Peter walked around his room. "Sophia, of course." He then turned to him and pointed at him. "You like her."

"What?"

"Just admit it already," Peter said impatient. "you're not that good of an actor. You really like her which isn't good."

Felix let himself fall back on the bed, hands covering his face. "So what if I do? I'm sorry, but I can't just turn it off."

"Come on, Felix!" Peter said more angry. "From all the girls out there you happen to fall for the one you have to break the heart of?"

"I can't help she let me feel this!" Felix almost shouted and sat upright again. "If I could change it, I would, but I cant."

Peter crossed his arms. "Sometimes I really hate you." He shook his head. "You are supposed to be a heartless monster. How can one simple girl change you in less than two days?"

Anger now really filled Felix. "Maybe I'm tired of being a heartless monster." He stood up from the bed. "Maybe I like it that someone doesn't see me as a heartless monster for once."

"What about our plan? Don't you want your revenge?"

"Not if it means we have to hurt her," Felix snarled. He grabbed a shirt and a hoodie and left the treehouse.

"Yeah, just leave! You worthless asshole!" Peter called after him and slammed the hatch. Felix growled silently as he walked through the woods. Peter just didn't understand, he couldn't. He didn't know what he was feeling. Pan had traded his own son for youth, why did Felix ever think he would be traded differently?

Because he's your best friend. Felix snored at the thought. Best friend. A best friend wouldn't use him like Pan always did. A best friend would support him, encourage him in a good way. Not tell him he should be a heartless monster, that he was a worthless asshole.

For some reason tears started to fill his eyes when fake and real memories rushed through his mind. The memories of Neverland and the one's in Storybrooke. He shook his head and forced the tears back. He was a worthless heartless monster, he didn't cry because he just lost the only friend he had. Monster don't need friends, they don't feel, they don't need family or a home.

Maybe that's why everything and everyone always ends up destroyed after he touched it. He knew it was a matter of time before Peter would see that he was worthless, but still it hurts. It would only be a matter of time before Sophia would see that there is no one behind the monster, that he was nothing. Why did he let himself think that just because he felt a bit meant he wasn't a monster? He had let it get to his head, he was so stupid. The memories that slowly seemed to return from Neverland only made it more clear to him that he never had been human, always the monster everyone feared.

So consumed by his thought he didn't see where he was going. He turned a corner and bumped into someone. The person almost fell, but grabbed his hoodie to stable herself. He wanted to snarl at the person to let him go and push her away, but when he saw who it was he didn't. But he also didn't soften.

"Sorry," Sophia said, only then just looking at his face. The shy smile on her face faded when she saw his stormed expression. "Everything okay?"

"Fine," he said harsher then he meant. He wanted to push her off of him and walk past her, but she tightened her grip and didn't let him move.

"Something is clearly wrong," she said and frowned. "Tell me. I can help."

"You can't." Felix felt the tears for in his eyes again, but pushed them back. He made another attempt to move past her, but she wouldn't let him.

"I can." Sophia wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "But only if you let me."

He still wasn't used to the feeling of hugging. He still wasn't used to any of the things Sophia let him feel. So for a moment he just stood there, unmoving. He didn't wrap his arms around her, but also didn't make a move to push her back. When she hugged him tighter he finally broke down, just like he did in the library yesterday. His arms wrapped around her middle and tears escaped his eyes even if he didn't want them to.

"I'm nothing," he whispered. "I'm sorry I can't be more."

She pulled back to face him, but didn't let go completely. He also didn't remove his arms from where he held her around her waist.

"Who the hell let you believe that?"

He shrugged. "Everyone." She cupped his face in both her hands. "My returning memories only remind me of that even more."

"If only you could see what I see," she whispered and shook her head. She let her head rest on his shoulder and hugged him tightly again. He wished he could see what she saw, because all he could see was nothing that she deserved.

After Felix had calmed down they went to the park and sought out a quiet spot and sat down there. Sophia told him everything she had found out yesterday, partly to just distract him from everything he was going through. It took her a while, but after a while his mood seemed to lighten and he even smiled at her. She didn't want to push him on what had happened. If he wanted to tell her, he would.

"So, what is Neverland like?" she asked him.

Felix chuckled. "It's the worst place you could ever imagen." Sophia tilted her head and Felix turned his head to look at her. "Poison plants, deadly mermaids, shadows that can kill you by ripping out your own – it's really different from the Disney version."

"Hmmm…" Sophia bit her lip, noticing how Felix eyes looked at them before looking back at her eyes. "Could you fly?"

"With pixie dust, yes, but there wasn't many left on the island after the pixies left."

"What is it like to fly?"

Felix grinned at her, took her hands and stood up, taking her with him. "It's like dancing on the wind." He swirled her around a few times. She laughed, letting her feet and his hands guide her in a dance through the grass. She closed her eyes, she could feel the wind blowing through her hair, Felix hands lightly guiding her over the ground and for a moment it really felt like she was flying.

Only when Felix slowed their little dance down and brought her closer she opened her eyes again. The stormed eyes from earlier were completely gone and were now filled with adoration as he looked at her. She let her hand slip out of his and placed them on his shoulders while he placed his on her hips. He swayed them from side to side gently and slowly in the rhythm of the soft breeze that seemed to surround them.

At that moment it was just them, no curse, no painful past, no whatever the hell was going on. Just them. Felix let his forehead rest against hers and closed his eyes.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered. He chuckled to himself softly. "I said that out loud, didn't I?" Sophia bit her lip and nodded, the grin on his face became wider. "You deserve to know, anyway."

Felix leaned in and kissed her. When their lips met some kind of spark flew between them and something deep inside her seemed to wake up, some sort of power. Sophia ignored it for now and let herself melt into him as he held her tighter with one hand while the other cupped the back of her head. One of her hands tugged at the back of his neck hair while the other rested just above his heart, which she could feel beat like crazy, much like her own. She never wanted this to end.

Sadly it did when they separated for air. Felix chuckled softly again, opening his eyes to look at her.

"You have no idea how much you make me feel," he whispered. She really couldn't find the right words to say, so instead of saying something she just kissed him again.

Caligo growled from his spot in the tree. This wasn't supposed to happen, Felix wasn't supposed to ditch out on the plan. Because now that he ditched out Sophia would fall for him and Felix wouldn't break her when she did. That lost boy was going to regret that decision because now not only Sophia would be broken, but he would, too.

He didn't mind seeing Sophia with Felix as long as he was still planning on breaking her heart. He would have her after that, but now…

Caligo growled harder when he saw them getting close to each other, too close for his liking. His hands on her hips and hers on her shoulders. He felt the magic in him shift under his skin, so he closed his eyes and breathed in and out. This wasn't the time nor place to become a dragon.

When he opened his eyes again the rage he had tried to push down boiled back up. He was kissing her. Felix was kissing Sophia. Felix was so dead, o so dead. He saw them separate again, Felix whispered something before Sophia kissed him again.

At that moment he didn't mind anymore about the curse. He didn't turn into a freaking dragon, but he did summon all his magic. His eyes turned red and he jumped out of the tree. The earth shook when he landed, separating Sophia and Felix from the shock, both looking at him. Slowly, Caligo rose from the ground, red magic smoke glowing in his hands. He grinned when Felix pulled Sophia behind him. Good, he didn't want her to get hurt either.

"Get the hell out of here," Felix growled at him, not seeming surprised by the magic. So he did started to remember? Another reason for him to be dead. He slowly approached them, the closer he got the better he could see the fear in his eyes.

"Caligo, leave us alone!" Sophia yelled at him and stepped away from behind Felix to stand beside him, no fear in her eyes.

"Shut up, princess," he said and forced her back with his magic, but Felix stepped before her and was send flying instead.

"Felix!" she yelled and rushed to his side in a blink of an eye. Felix pushed himself a little upright with his elbows and relief washed over Sophia.

Caligo laughed darkly. "Don't you know, my little princess? Love is weakness, unless you are willing to give it to me."

Sophia stood up from the ground and stood before Felix, her face gave away the anger she felt. "Like I would ever love you." His eyes shot to her hands when blue magic smoke started rising from them and her eyes shone blue. "And I'm not your little princess." She took a few steps closer, raising her hands ever so slightly. "I'm my own Queen."

Before he could react she blasted him with her magic, sending him flying until he hit the tree he was in earlier. His head was spinning before everything went black.
