Caligo slowly opened his eyes, blinking a few times to adjust them to the light. He growled lowly and rubbed his head. That lost boy and pirate are so dead. He got off of the bed, ready to poof himself out of there or just break the lock and walk out, but stopped when he saw Peter.

"Finally awake?" Peter asked and pushed himself off of the wall.

Caligo huffed. "Don't think this bar's will stop me."

"Oh, they won't," Peter smirked, he was way to confident for his liking. "But that cuff will." He pointed at the cuff around his arm that Caligo didn't notice until now.

"What is it?" Caligo held up his hand, pointing at it.

"It blocks magic." Caligo's eyes widened, how did he know? Peter smirked and crossed his arms. "Oh, yes, I know. I was there when it all happened."

"Take it off," Caligo growled dangerously.

"Not before you accept my deal." When he stayed quiet, glaring at him with his red eyes, Peter continued. "I'm going to help you with Sophia."

"Why would you?"

Peter started pacing. "I want my best friend back. Sophia took him from me, so I'll help you with getting Sophia to fall for you. If she falls for you she will break his heart and crawl back to me."

Caligo lifted his chin. "You know if you break my deals, you'll pay dearly."

For a moment hesitation crossed his face before he nodded and extended his hand through the bars. Caligo chuckled darkly and pointed at the cuff.

"I can't make deals with a cuff on."

Confusion crossed Peter face but he took the cuff off anyway. Caligo felt the power return to him, the burning feeling in his veins. With a twist of his hand he was out of the cell and behind Peter. He twirled around, fear in his eyes, always the fear.

Caligo extended his hand and Peter took it. He gripped it tightly, pulling Peter closer while he burned his hand and whispered in his ear, "Don't mess this up, Pan."

Peter yanked back his hand while stepping back, looking at his palm.

"What the hell is this?"

"A reminder."

Emma heard the door slam shut. She stood up from there she was sitting next to Sophia on the couch with hot cocoa to see Killian walk in, his upper body completely soaked.

"Killian, what happened?" she asked concerned.

"Are you okay, Dad?" Sophia asked from behind her. Emma put down her mug and rushed upstairs. A few seconds later she returned with a towel which she draped over Killian shoulders who when to sit beside Sophia on the couch.

"I'm fine," he ensured them with a smile. "Things just didn't went as expected."

"Why are you soaking wet?" Emma asked while rubbing his shoulders.

"Caligo tried to drown me."

"He did what?!"

Killian grabbed Emma's hand. "I'm okay," he ensured her again. "Felix… saved me."

"Felix?" Sophia said surprised.

"Yes, Felix," Killian said a bit annoyed. "He knocked Caligo out before he drowned me completely."

"He did?" both Emma and Sophia asked more than a bit surprised.

Killian nodded. "It was pretty strange, Caligo held me down into the water without even touching me and it looked like the water rose until it was covering me."

Emma thought this over for a second. "Maybe it just felt like that because you didn't have enough air."

Killian shrugged and scratched behind his ear. "I guess," he stood up and placed a kiss on Emma's cheek and Sophia's forehead. "I'm going to take a shower."

Both Emma and Sophia sank back in the couch while Killian went upstairs. Emma turned to look at Sophia and gave her daughter a knowing smirk. "So Felix, huh?"

"Apparently," Sophia shrugged, looking at her mug rather than her mother.

Emma tilted her head. "He said you two were dancing." Sophia shrugged again, but Emma noticed the small smile forming on her lips. "Didn't know he liked dancing."

"It was nothing, I just asked him if he knew what flying was like."

"What did he say?"

Sophia huffed a laugh through her nose, the smile getting bigger. "He said it was like dancing on the wind."

Emma nodded. Sophia was still looking at her mug, probably thinking back at the moment with a bright smile on her face. Any guy who can make her daughter so happy with simple gestured is good enough for her.

"How are you feeling?" Emma asked her daughter after a while.

"Better."

"What exactly happened there?"

"Uhm…" Sophia bit her lip. "it's a little hard to explain."

Emma furrowed her brows. "Why?"

"You don't believe."

"Believe in what?" Emma asked confused.

"Magic," Sophia said and stood up. "you can't understand unless you believe."

"Okay…" Emma also stood. "Then help me believe."

Sophia walked over to her, looking in her eyes with a deep concentration. "You can't."

"Why not?"

Sophia tilted her head. "Something is blocking it, like poison."

"Sophia, what are you talking about."

She placed a hand on Emma's arm. "Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you."

With that, Sophia turned and went upstairs. Emma just stood there, mouth slightly ajar and very confused. Poison? She was poisoned and it blocked her… belief? Emma shook her head. This was crazy, Sophia was probably just tired and wasn't thinking clearly anymore. At her age Emma had her fairy tale theory, Sophia probably inherited some of her imagination.

Great start of the morning.

"So what's our plan?" Peter asked Caligo impatiently as he looked through the treehouse.

Caligo tossed something to the side that he was examining. "Simple, you get Felix to stay away from her and I'll charm her."

"Can't you use a spell or something?" Peter raised a brow.

"If it was that simple I would have done it by now," Caligo snarled. "but I can't. We are each other's counterparts." Peter gave him a confused look. Caligo sighed. "She is pure light, I'm pure darkness. We can harm each other with our magic but we can't kill, curse or put each other under a spell. We are like Yin and Yang."

"How are you going to turn her dark if she is pure light?"

Caligo smirked dangerously, his eyes turned red. "Snuff out the light, when she is hollow I can fill her with darkness." The smirk faded and he turned to look at Peter. Peter swallowed and shifted a bit. "If your plan had just worked and she was broken than it would have been so much easier."

"It's not my fault Felix has feelings for her," Peter snorted, crossing his arms. "So when do we start?"

The smirk was back. "Why not start right away?"

Later that afternoon, after Sophia had recovered, she went outside again. She walked towards Granny's, maybe Violet was there… or Felix.

Okay, so maybe she was looking for Felix. She first of all wanted to thank him for saving her father. And they had to discuss how they were going to get her mother, the Saviour, to believe. And maybe she just wanted to see him.

She was about to enter Granny's when the person she was looking for came through the door, an angry Granny with a crossbow not far behind him.

"Don't even think about coming back," Granny snarled before turning to walk back into the diner, giving Sophia a nod and a soft smile that didn't match the attitude she had a second ago.

"I just want a room!" Felix called after her but the door was already shut. Felix covered his face with his hand and groaned.

"What was that about?" Sophia asked while approaching him.

He looked up from his hands, probably only just noticing her. "Oh, hey, uhm…" he said a bit awkward while he straitened himself. "I uhm… I wanted to rent a room… you know, to sleep and whatever."

"I thought you lived with Peter in your treehouse?"

"I did," he rubbed his neck. "but I left. Peter and I had a fight about… something, and he called me a 'worthless asshole' so I left. It's one of the reasons why I was so upset this morning." He held his head low, not wanting to meet her eye. "and it looks like no one wants to rent a room to a monster."

"Stop calling herself that," Sophia said somehow sternly. He looked up a bit surprise, clearly not expecting her to comment about that. She sighed and stepped closer to him. "Stop calling yourself a monster," she said more gently. "You're sweet, kind and everything a monster is not. Caligo is a monster, you are just a lost boy who hasn't found himself yet." she smiled at him, grabbing his hand. "I want to help you find yourself, I want to know the man behind the boy." She squeezed his hand. "Please let me help you."

For the who know how many time this day, his eyes began to sting with tears. He wanted her help, he wanted to find himself, show her that he can be more, but he didn't know if he could. He had been the monster for so many years, what if he couldn't let it go? What if he hurt her? What if he wasn't enough after all? He didn't know if he could do this.

She seemed to notice his hesitation. She moved closer and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back and buried his face in the crook of her neck. Her hugs were always all he needed. They were warm, caring, it were her hugs. It was everything that held him together, they helped him stay strong for her.

Maybe he could do this. If he had her by his side, maybe he could be strong, let go of the monster and start over. For her, for himself, for them.

He pulled back from the hug but only to cup her cheek and kiss her. Everything he felt, his hesitation, his unsureness, but also his wanting and just everything he felt for her, he poured it into the kiss. She kissed him back with a sureness, a promise that she would stay at his side.

Felix didn't want to end the kiss, he just wanted to have her forever. Her body close against his, a perfect fit like they were meant to hold each other. Her soft lips moving perfectly against his, while his hands held her tightly. He loved every moment of it.

So when she pulled away he was greatly disappointed that it couldn't have lasted longer. Felix rested his forehead against hers. If only she knew how much she affected him, how much he wanted her, how much he wanted to do for her. How light he felt when she smiled at him, how much more lonely he felt without her. Was this… was this what's it's like to be… in love?

He didn't want to think about it, it scared the hell out of him. He can't love. If he did, he would lose it. he didn't want to lose her.

"You're not going to lose me," she whispered, as if she was reading his mind.

"How di-"

"You're squeezing me," she laughed softly. He felt his cheeks heat up and immediately loosened his grip on her.

"Sorry," he mumbled.

Sophia stroked his face with her fingers. "Just know that I won't let you go, either."

"Why are we standing before your house?" Felix asked confused. He looked around warily just in case her parents saw him. He had saved Killian but that doesn't mean all his sins are forgiven.

"You need a place to stay overnight and I'm not going to let you sleep on the street," she said while checking something on het phone. "You're in luck," Sophia put her phone back in her pocket. "my parents are at the store so we can go inside without having to sneak past them."

"Sophia, what are-"

"Come on, they could be back any minute."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the front yard to the front door. They stopped at the door. He looked behind him, expecting to see Emma and Killian just coming home and having to make a run for it, while she fumbled with her keys.

She opened the door and dragged him inside before he could have any second thoughts. She closed the door behind them and took him upstairs.

"Sophia, I don-"

She shut him up by twirling around and placing a kiss on his lips. "Let me help you."

She turned around again and opened a door that he presumed would lead to her bedroom. Felix hesitated but Sophia just grabbed his hand again and dragged him inside, closing the door behind him.

"Make yourself at home," Sophia said and toed off her shoes while placing her bag on the ground.

"Can you tell me why I'm here exactly?"

Sophia sat down on her bed. Only then showing a bit of nervousness as she fumbled with her sleeves. "Well, I thought since you have nowhere else to go you could stay with me." Her voice became quieter at the end of the sentence.

"Don't you think your parents will disapprove?"

"Not if they don't know," she said, still not meeting his eyes. "You could sleep on the couch over there." she pointed at the left corner of her room there a quiet comfortable couch was with a mountain of pillows. Sophia shook her head and laughed to herself. "I'm sorry, it's a stupid idea."

Felix rubbed his neck. "I actually kind of like the idea of being here with you…"

"No funny business, mister," she laughed and finally looked him in the eye. "my parents' room is only a hallway away."

Felix held up his hands, but smirked while doing so. "Wouldn't dream of messing with the Queen."

"Also, try to hide your stuff, my parents can come in here any time and if they see your stuff, well…" she stood up and walked over to the couch, throwing some pillows to the ground and laying a blanket on it. "I don't think they would appreciate knowing that their daughter had one of their 'enemies' in her room."

Felix walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzled his face in her neck. "I'll be quiet."
