Chapter 19- Party Crashers
Neal's POV
I quickly ran through the Neverwoods, I knew it was only a matter of time before Felix regains consciousness and tries to track me down. I will find Henry and my daughter. I may not know who she is or what she's like, but if Pan wants her, that can mean nothing good. From what I remember from my days as a lost boy, I remember how long Pan has been looking for the heart of the truest believer. I don't know if Felix was telling the truth about there being two hearts of the truest believers, but I do know that I'll save them from Pan, no matter what it takes.
I ran into a clearing, but instead of it being empty, I saw a very familiar face pointing a weapon at me, dipped in dreamshade.
When my father saw who I was, he slowly lowered the weapon that was pointed at me.
"Bae?", he asked.
We just stared at each other, without saying anything, until my father spoke up again.
"You're not real, you're dead", he said.
"What? Of course I'm real. What the hell is going on?", I asked.
"You're a vision, just like Belle".
"No, no. Hey, listen to me. It's me, I was shot, but I survived.
"My son is dead! You're just here to remind me of my failure!", my father said in rage as he attacked me, putting the deadly weapon dangerously close to my throat.
"That's not why I'm here", I said.
"My weakness…".
"Put the spear down".
"You're here to question my resolve, but you won't succeed. I WILL sacrifice my life for Henry and NOTHING will stand in my way".
"Thanks papa".
His expression softened, "Bae, is that really you?", he asked.
"Yeah", I replied.
He finally put down the spear.
"I thought I had lost you forever", he said.
Peter Pan's POV
I looked around at the party that was going on, the one that was supposed to help Henry and Morgan believe in me. I needed the two truest believers to believe in me, but Henry doesn't trust me and no matter how hard I try, Morgan doesn't even talk to me without insulting me ever since I tricked her to get Henry.
I looked around the campsite to see where they were, they were sitting on a log, talking. I had no doubt Morgan was filling Henry's head with the reasons why she hated me so much and why I can't be trusted. I needed to put a stop to this; I needed them to believe in me, not to create a deeper wedge between us. Most importantly, I would need Morgan to believe in me. She is the stronger of the two and once she trusts me again, it would be unbelievably easy to get Henry on my side as well.
I walked over to where they were sitting and they immediately silenced when Morgan noticed me approaching them. How rude. Here I was trying to entertain the guests of honor.
"You guys want to join in on the celebration?", I asked.
I sat on a log across from them, waiting for an answer or a smug remark, depending on who replied.
"Nothing to celebrate", Henry said.
"Nothing to celebrate? Morgan, Henry, this whole party is for you", I replied.
"Yeah, right. Let's say for a moment I believe you. Why would you throw a party for us?", Morgan asked.
"Because you two are going to save magic of course. And I for one cannot think of a reason more deserving of celebration than that. Just look at them", I responded.
Morgan and Henry turned their heads to see the other lost boys dancing around, without a care in the world. In time, Henry and Morgan will join them, one way or another.
"I'm not like them or you", Henry said.
"Sure you are, you're still kids".
"Yeah, but we're not demented brats like you", Morgan said.
"Maybe a song will get you two on your feet", I said, ignoring Morgan's jab.
Morgan's POV
I knew what that meant when Pan said that he was going to play a song for us. I don't know how, but last time he played those pipes for me, I had no control of my body, I got lost in the music.
Pan brought the pipes to his lips.
I just looked at him, unsure of what to do. I needed to remain strong, but I couldn't do so if the pipes were controlling me.
To my surprise, I didn't hear anything. Somehow, I didn't hear the pipes this time, unlike last time. I don't know why, but I really don't care enough to find out why they didn't work this time. I was just happy and relieved that the pipes didn't have an effect on me.
I looked over at Henry, and he too didn't seem to be bothered by the pipes.
"Sorry, I don't hear anything", Henry said.
"Yeah, me too, except I'm not sorry about it", I said.
"Interesting. You see, this pipe is enchanted. It can only be heard by certain children", Pan replied.
"Like who?", Henry asked.
I saw Felix angrily enter the campsite, making eye contact with Pan. I knew that meant something was up. I've been on this island long enough to know when something is up that I will likely not get told about. Pan didn't make it all that hard to figure out, his face said it all, that and I could tell when he was lying to me.
"You'll find out soon enough, I promise", Pan said.
Pan then stood up and left, making Henry and I wondering what Pan meant by that.
Peter Pan's POV
I walked, more like stormed, over to where Felix was. He had that look in his eyes, the look that told me something was wrong. I had known Felix long enough to know things like this and I was going to figure out what was wrong and how to stop it. I had sent him to capture Baelfire and lock him up where Henry, and more importantly Morgan, couldn't find him. How hard can that be?
"What, I know that look, what happened?", I asked Felix.
"Baelfire, I'm afraid he got away", Felix replied
"Well why didn't you get him back?".
"I tried. I followed his trail and found two of our centuries knocked out by a sleeping spell".
"The Dark One, so father and son have been reunited".
"They'll be coming for the boy and the girl. We should move them somewhere safe".
"Not now Felix. Where's your sense of adventure? We can't end the party when the real fun is about to begin".
Neal's POV
I was ready to take my kids back from Pan, of course with the help of my father. Sure, I hadn't exactly told my father about Morgan, but I need to focus on rescuing her and Henry, not telling my father about every little detail he should know.
I was hiding in the bushes surrounding the campsite where Pan was. All I needed was the perfect moment to shoot the arrow coated in squid ink at Pan.
Peter Pan's POV
I was sitting on a log waiting for Rumple and Neal to arrive. They think they have the upper hand but they don't, they seem to forget that I'm more powerful than them. I'm shocked, Baelfire should know better; after all he lived on Neverland for quite some time. Then there's Rumple, the two of us go way back, I didn't think he had it in him to stand up to me given how things went last time I saw him.
Suddenly, a magical gust of air swept through the campsite. The lost boys, and Morgan, fell to the ground unconscious. However, it didn't affect me. Did they really think a little sleeping spell would be what it would take to render me powerless?
My guests had arrived and I knew I better welcome them. It would be terribly rude of me if I didn't welcome them to the party, now would it?
HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER!
