Hey everybody,

I'm back from my mini-vacation! Anybody miss me? (Nope...) A new chapter just for you!

Hope you like it!I cannot believe school starts in three days!?

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Once upon a Time, just the ideas in my head that I incorporated in this story!

Chapter 19

Felix's POV:

It was midday when I caught a glimpse of Aura walking past the camp, determined to reach some unknown destination. She seemed to be following something invisible, eyes always trained on the ground.

Pan had given me strict orders to stay with the Lost Boys. But seeing her, alone, made everything within me want to disobey.

It was crazy. All the years I had been the 'most loyal' of the Lost Ones, constantly heeding Pan's whim, and the second I had been in Aura's presence, everything changed.

I shouldn't be having such protective thoughts. My life belonged to Pan; I would do his bidding, no matter the girl.

Telling myself once more that she was safe with Pan, I managed to focus on other things.

But night had fallen, and they still hadn't returned. What was Pan doing?

I sent all the boys to bed while I paced restlessly in my hut. Hunting would take my mind of things, make me forget for a short time, and although this seemed like a good solution, I didn't want to forget Aura, not even for a second. And so my anxiety took hold.

Giving into a much needed sleep, I closed my eyes and laid down on my bed.

'Now, Felix, I trust you to be able to take good care of her.' Papa lovingly stroked the sleeping girl's cheek, sitting at the edge of her bed.

'Of course, I would do anything for my sister.' I tried to reassure him, telling him and myself that I was and always would be the responsible brother she needed.

'Good, because one day you might have to.' The coldness in his voice didn't startle me, his eyes still focused on the girl's hair.

That was the burden of being a big brother. Always taking care of the younger ones. I couldn't help but feel jealous, why did she get all the attention?

She had inherited papa's viridian eyes, whereas I had a meek excuse for the color green. Father showered her with gifts, attention and love, whereas I got the cold shoulder and had to fend for myself. The only thing we had in common was our blond hair.

I was the one who watched her. I should have been getting adoration from papa, but looking at her angelic face, framed with golden strands of hair, I forgot my envy and thought how lucky I was to even have a sister.

'She is very important. Her heart is special, it can heal what has been hurt, save what has been lost, bring back what once used to belong. As long as she loves you, everything will be fine. Just always watch her; never leave her out of your sight.' He finally turned to me, looking me in the eyes; full of a magical fire.

I wasn't that surprised; we lived in a whole world full of magic and wonders. Close by our house lived a good witch, and father was a powerful wizard.

'And what happens when she stops loving me?' I asked curiously.

'Then she will make you remember and bring back lost memories.'

My eyes shot open. I kept having this particular memory in my dreams, ever since I had gone hunting with Aura. Make you remember. Bring back lost memories. She had made me remember my past, before Neverland. There was an eerie familiarity between the girl here in Neverland and the baby girl with viridian eyes who I had promised to never leave.

Aura's POV:

When I woke up in my bed, Peter wasn't with me. Instead of where he should lay next to me, there was a single sheet of paper.

Aura,

I have some unfinished business I must attend to. Sadly, I will be gone the rest of the day. Spend time with the Lost Boys, Felix will take care of you.

Tonight will be special,

Peter

Though I was saddened by the fact that Peter wouldn't be with me, it only me more exicted for tonight, exhilarated by what he could have planned.

I was happy to be with the Boys; with Felix. They were almost like family.

Stepping out of the tree house, I saw the Lost Boys all surrounding the fire, eating their breakfast and chatting. Felix stood close by, scanning the camp. It was obvious he was looking for someone. And when he caught sight of me, his tense posture relaxed and the coldness in his eyes disappeared.

'Aura, you're back!' Tootles wrapped his arms around my waist.

I grinned at him; he was so small. From the corner of my eyes, I swear, I saw the corners of Felix's mouth twist to a smile.

'We wanted to play 'Capture the Princess' with you!' Tootles let go of me, while every other Boy stood up.

'I assume Felix is the princess, right?' I joked, today was going to be fun.

'Not really, he doesn't even look like one. Felix will play the protector, and we'll try to capture you. The game starts now!' Tootles answered very serious, not quite understanding the quip.

'And what about my breakfast?' My stomach, as if on cue, started to grumble.

'You can eat on the way, princess.' Felix took my hand and led me to the jungle.

After running ten minutes, trying to get as much distance from the search party, our sprint turned into a walk.

I quietly nibbled at some bread I made appear, while Felix kept shooting me perplexed glances.

'Is something wrong?' I stopped walking, finally wanting an answer.

Because it most certainly wasn't the first time I had seen that look.

'Please keep walking, we wouldn't want Tootles finding you.'

After seeing me stand still, stubborn and not satisfied with what he said, he reluctantly added. 'I'll tell you.'

Walking in silence for a while, he decided to talk.

'I had a dream. It was more a flashback. Of my father and my sister. Papa told me about the magical properties of her heart, that it could heal the sick, save what was lost-'

'Felix!' I interrupted, not listening to his words anymore.

There was a dangerous looking plant with black thorns ahead of us, but Felix kept talking, ignoring me.

'Father told me to look after her, the sweet angel with golden hair.'

'Felix!' I halted abruptly, my voice louder this time, trying to get Felix's attention, although it didn't work. He was going to walk straight into the plant.

'He told me she would make me remember. You…you look just like her.'

'FELIX!' A second before he touched the plant, I jumped forward, pushing him out of the way.

Only this seemed to bring him back to reality, out of his daze.

'Aura, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened.'

My vision was clouded, I could see a silhouette standing up. I found it difficult to breathe and there was a sharp stinging pain in my side. My knees froze up in weakness and I slumped to the ground. Sounds of Felix's voice and Neverland's life were slowly fading and darkness overcame me as I drifted into unconsciousness.

So, dun dun dun! (!spoiler!) everything goes downhill after that, so stay tuned...more chapters to come, and I can see some love scene in the very near future! Reviews are always appreciated!

(ElektraMakenzie: I hope this makes up for jealous Felix, he is kinda :))

Love you all,
