Hi people. I am sorry about the delay.

Enjoy!

Chapter 19: Peter

"PETER!"

Henry was running to me. I thanked the lord he found me. My arms were getting tired from carrying Mia.

"Yes Henry?" I said.

"You said you weren't hiding anything," Henry said. "But you lied. I found Mia. I found the dying girl in your arms."

"Henry," I said gently. "I didn't want you to have this pressure. The pressure that the life of a young girl (no offense Mia) depends on you."

Henry took a breath. "How do I save magic?"

I smirked. "I'll show you. Follow me."

God, he really is dumb. He doesn't even realize that Mia was talking to him five minutes ago.

I lead Henry to the camp.

"What are we doing here?"

I got up on a rock. I didn't need to shout for the boy's attention. They were already staring at Mia's horrible features.

"Now," I started. "As you know, Mia is sick. Magic is dying."

I heard Jared chock back a sob.

"But tonight!" I said. "Tonight, Henry will save Magic! Tonight, we will live!"

Cheers erupted from all the Lost boys except Felix and Jared.

"Will momma be okay?" Jared asked.

"Yes Jared," I said getting off the rock. "Mia will be okay."

I knew why Felix didn't cheer. He knew the truth. All he did was smirk. I jumped off the rock.

"Come on Henry."

I lead Henry to a river with a small boat in it. I placed Mia down next to Henry and sat in the front. I started rowing.

"Skull rock."

We were at the entrance of Skull rock.

"Out you go, Henry," Mia said.

Henry got out, then I got out. Then, I grabbed Mia.

When we got to the stairs that lead up to the hourglass, I placed Mia down and placed a protection spell on the wall.

"What is that for?" Henry asked.

"It is to protect you," I fibbed.

Henry nodded. We went up the stairs.

"What is that?" Henry asked, pointing at the hourglass.

"That Henry, is how much time you have to save magic," I said.

Henry nodded. "There isn't much left."

Mia nodded. I heard footsteps.

I placed Mia down by the hourglass and lead Henry to another room.

"Why am I here?"

"Henry, Mia and I need to get ready for this incredible moment. I will get you when you are done."

I left, and when I came back, I found the Rumpelstiltskin standing there.

"Hello, Dark one," I smirked.

"Hello, brother," Rumpelstiltskin said.

"Brother?" Mia asked. "What…"

"Oh, you haven't told her?" Rumpelstiltskin mocked. "You haven't told the love of your life that you had a brother?"

"No, he mentioned it," Mia said. "He just never told me the story. And he never told me it was you."

I sighed, and started telling the full story on how I came to Neverland.

Flashback:

"Peter?" A little boy asked. That was Rumple.

"Yes Rumple?" I answered. I was still the same 18 year old boy.

"Why did daddy leave us?"

"I don't know," I answered. I grabbed his hand. "Come on, I think the women are this way."

I led him to a small house, with two old women.

"Hello Peter," Before I even knocked on the door, they opened it. "Ah, this must be Rumpelstiltskin."

"Peter, what is this about?" Little Rumpelstiltskin asked.

"Rumple," I said gently. "You know how we have been starving in the woods?"

He nodded.

"These women are going to take care of you," I said. "I am going to find work, little brother."

"No!" Rumple screamed, tears running down his tiny face. "No, don't abandon me like papa did."

"This isn't abandoning you," I said. "This is making sure my little brother lives, because I care about him."

"Maybe we can help you," One of the women said. She handed Rumple a magic been. "This will transport you to a place where you can start over."

"Thank you," Rumple said. We left the women.

"Do you know a place?" Rumple asked.

I sat in thought for a while.

"I know!" I said. "There is this place i have visited in my dreams. It is called Neverland. You can fly and do so many wonderful things!"

"Lets go then!" Rumpelstiltskin threw the bean on the ground. It turned into a portal, and we jumped into it.

We appeared in Neverland.

"Peter…" Rumple said. "This place is beautiful."

"Come on," I grabbed his hand. "I'll show you the pixie dust tree."

I grabbed his hand and l ran into the forest.

We ran and ran and found the pine tree.

"If you like, I can clamp and get some for us," I offered.

Rumple nodded vigorously, the happiness leaking into in face.

I climbed the tree to one of the flowers. I then reached into it and grabbed some pixie dust. I sprinkled it on myself.

"Why isn't this working?" I muttered to myself.

A shadow came. "It doesn't work because your brother is here."

"My brother?"

The shadow nodded. "You are going to be the King of Neverland. As King of Neverland, you can't have a brother. I will get rid of your brother for you."

"Get rid of? You mean…"

The shadow nodded.

"No!" I said. "You can't kill him!"

"You can't stay with him," The shadow said.

"Then, send him back to the old women in the village. Please," I begged.

The shadow nodded, then it swooped down. I heard my brother scream.

"Quiet!" The shadow hissed. "I am taking you back to the real world."

I watched the shadow and my brother fly off into the darkness.

Flashback end:

"I didn't want to abandon you, Rumple," I said, so close to tears.

"You did nothing to stop it," Rumple hissed. "Goodbye, brother."

Rumple brought out a box. He waved his hand over it, and…

"Why won't this work?" Rumple asked himself.

"Because you don't have it," Mia said weakly, getting out the real Pandora's Box and tossing it to me.

"Now, lets see what it can do," I waved my hand over the box, and Rumplestiltskin, the Dark One, was trapped in it.

Mia looked sadly at the box.

"Mia, it was either abandoning, or my brother dead," I said, referring to the flashback.

Mia nodded. "I know." She looked up at me. "Lets get Henry."
