Hi people. FOUR MORE DAYS (counting today) UNTIL HALLOWEEN!
Enjoy!
Chapter 24: Peter
It is SO strange being in Henry's body.
I feel like I am wearing a suit of armor that is two times, too small.
The worst part, is Mia. She has no idea who I am. I have to resist the urge to take her in my arms and tell her that I am okay. That I am free. I have to resist the urge to kiss her. It is slowly killing me.
However, she is smart. Mia already knows something is wrong with me. I have to be more careful.
"Alright kid, it is time for one of the things you didn't have on Neverland: Bed time." Emma said, getting up.
"Where is Mia going to stay?" I asked her.
"With Regina," Emma said.
"Could I stay with Regina too?" I asked.
Regina's ears perked up when she heard that.
"Can he?" She begged.
"Um… It is okay with me," Emma said. "Just call me when you want me to pick you up."
"Got it," I said.
"Mia, Henry, lets go," Regina smiled.
We walked out of the diner. I grabbed Mia's hand.
She stared at me cautiously. To make things a little less crazy, I grabbed Regina's hand too.
We arrived at Regina's house.
Mia stopped dead in her tracks.
"Is this some kind of a castle?" she asked Regina.
Regina laughed, then led her inside.
Her eyes widened when she saw the rooms.
"Is this place magical?" Mia asked.
"No, it's modern," I said.
Regina led Mia to her room. I went up to Henry's room. Don't ask me how I knew it was his, it just looked like his room.
I looked in Henry's story book and found a page with a vault. The Evil Queen was next to it.
"Time for bed, Henry," Regina said.
"Mom," I said. The word felt weird on my tongue. "Did you bring your vault here?"
"Yes honey, you have been there," Regina said.
"Can I go there?" I asked.
"Why?"
"Well, if Pan escapes, I will need something to arm myself with," I said.
"Oh honey, Pan isn't going to escape." Regina said.
"What about Mia?" I asked her. "I mean, she really wants to get Pan out of there."
"Henry, I am keeping a close eye on Mia." Regina tucked me in. "Also, magic isn't the answer. You taught me that." She kissed my forehead. "Goodnight Henry."
She turned out the lights and left the room. I immediately got up and went to the window.
"She's wrong." I smirked. "Magic is the answer." I pointed my finger at Hook's ship. "It's time."
My shadow was released from the sail. I then went to sleep, thinking of a plan for tomorrow.
