Chapter 3: Can I Please Ride On Your Back

The first thing I did to ensure Roland's safety was to make a camp and magically put a shield around it so we were safe from Pan and his Lost boys."

I unpacked my backpack and took out my Magic, putting him on one of the chairs with a table that I'd magically made Rol and me. "I showed Magic to him.

I magically conjured a monkey like mine, except it was grey with a white snout, white ears, white paws and white feet. "Thank you, Sammy!"

I looked at Roland. "So, Rol, what do you want to do today?"

Roland looked up at me. "Can you please phase and turn into a Wolfie?" he asked.

"Sure," I'll do that for you; just step out of the way. He did, holding onto his monkey- which he named Reggie."

Before I phased into my wolf form, I made stirrups to hold his legs in place so he would be safe. Roland would tie them around my legs.

I jumped into the air in a flying leap, my clothes shredding as I transformed into my wolf form.

Roland ran over to me, running his fingers through my white, shaggy fur. I purred in pleasure before folding my legs, bringing myself down, so he could get on.

Once he put the stirrups on and he was on my back, I started to run and when he told me to run faster, I did- I couldn't deny him anything."

It was exhilarating to be able to run this fast. "I think I was going one hundred miles per hour."

"We were a breeze." We covered the whole island in countless hours, Roland sitting high on my back, his left hand on the cuff of my neck and his right hand holding Reggie, his face lighting up with joy and he was laughing.

His laughter filled my entire being with elated happiness."

It also took his mind off missing his daddy

I was truly happy for the first time since Emma and my parents left for Neverland- I had Roland."

That night, I put Roland to bed, tucking him in like my parents and sister does. I put the Spiderman duvet cover over him that I had conjured from Henry's closet back in Storybrooke. He doesn't use it anymore." He grew out of Spiderman."

Once he was tucked in, I lay beside him, not needing a duvet because of my body heat.

I lay awake thinking of my sister, Henry, Belle and my parents. A tear slid down my cheek. I miss them so much.

Roland missed his father too- I could feel his pain."

I held unto Magic."

I never felt so alone before meeting Roland- but even an imprintee couldn't change me missing my family.

At least I wasn't alone anymore- I had Roland, he was my family now too."

I hope Belle wasn't too worried about me. Knowing her though, she would be worrying.

I finally fell asleep- knowing that tomorrow I would conjure my storybook that said "ONCE UPON A TIME" like Henry's.

It had everything in it, my parents meeting, mummy and daddy putting Emmy in the magic wardrobe, Pinocchio getting Emma out, The Evil Queen/ Regina putting a curse on everyone and all the fairytale character's going to Storybrooke that Regina created, Maleficent saying Emma has the potential for great darkness as well as light, and Maleficent also saying that they would have another child- one who would be very powerful, me being born in the Enchanted Forest before being whisked away in pink magical smoke to The Land Without Magic, Merlin finding me in a car crash and taking me to Emmy's apartment in Boston where she adopts me, me turning into a wolf, and me going to Neverland where I imprint on Roland."

My goal was to find Emma."

The next day, we had an unhealthy breakfast, which were croissants, bacon, eggs and pancakes.

I stuffed them in mouth, hungry, I even had a second helping- since I phased, I was hungry all the time." Roland looked up at me, amazed. Like me, he was holding his monkey."

Roland's POV

I had fun yesterday. I got to ride on Sammy's back- Sammy was a Wolfie."

Sammy made a toy monkey appear from magic just for me. I love it- I called it Reggie. Sammy's got one too." "We we're twins."

I miss daddy.

I was alone until Sammy. We had a nice breakfast.

The world wasn't so scary anymore with Sam. I felt safe with her. She's the older sister that I never had."

Robin's POV

They were both staring blankly into the darkness.

My hands gripped the hard iron railing, my knuckles turning white in despair.

He was gone. He didn't know if he would ever see him again, but he hoped he would. It was all Robin's fault. My little boy was all alone out there."

The Merry Man and Mulan were with them and it was their mission to find Roland."

Neal looked sadly at Robin, a man who was once completely fearless and optimistic in his eyes two days ago."

"I'm so sorry, Robin, I really thought it would work."

I didn't turn around when I spoke; I simply kept my eyes tilted upwards towards the bright star that had claimed my son. "But it didn't work."

My voice was hard as stone. "He's gone." "He was all I had left- my Roland." I shouted. "And now I don't have him."

"He's all alone out there."

Neal hated himself right now- he hated the way he felt inside- awful.

He shouldn't have used the kid like that. "Of all the things he's done, this is more selfish."

The little boy was missing because of him."

"This is all your fault!" I hissed, spinning around and facing him dead on.

The expression on Robin's face was indescribable; it was a mixture of pain, tears, and blazing anger.

I raised my fist and punched him, hard, causing Neal to stumble on his feet. I punched again.

Neal's POV

"I can help you- Neal said, but was interrupted by me.

"No, you won't. "I think you need to leave now!"

So Neal left and I go to a room- when the shadow fly's through the window and grabbed me, taking me to Neverland."

"We've been looking for you," the shadow said.
