Twice Upon A Time~ The Descendants of Once Upon a Time

Celestia

Peter Pan appeared in front of us.

"Have you forgotten? No one gets on this island without my permission," Pan glared at us.

"Have you forgotten Pan? We got off this island once before, and we sure as hell are going to again," Mom replied.

"Not if Mirabella isn't with you,"

Pan appeared behind Mira, his arm wrapped around her neck, knife in hand. Then they were gone.

"What does Pan want with us anyways at this point?!" I yelled.

"Who knows why Pan does anything," Emma said.

"Celestia?" A shy voice questioned.

I looked behind me.

"Alex? Is that really you?" I inquired, ignoring the excited part of my mind that was ecstatic. He hugged me tightly.

"Why are you here?"

"Well, I heard you were in danger."

I needed to buy time to get away from them. To choke Pan until he begs for mercy. When the ship came to the shore, everyone got off and hid for the night.

"Night guys." I whispered, blowing out the candle that was our only source of light. I waited 3 minutes before tiptoeing off into the darkness.

The bushes around me rustled and I spotted a lost boy, probably scouting on patrol. I caught him off guard and ripped his heart from his chest so he wouldn't run.

"Where is Pan keeping Mirabella!?" I demanded. The boy wouldn't meet my eye. I quickly dug my fingernails into the beating organ and he cried out in pain.

"He's-He's keeping her in the echo caves," He explained. I debated on crushing his heart.

"You will not tell Pan of this conversation." I ordered, walking away.

"Can I have it back?" He begged.

"No."

I went to bed after burying the heart. An insurance policy, I told myself. For the good of others. I lay awake, thinking of my crush that I so casually shrugged off the day all of this started. Alexander. He was so wholesome, so kind. What would he think of what I've done? The guilt was overbearing, yet I manage to shut my eyes and fall asleep. There was much to be done tomorrow.

"I like animals too. Like, lions. Lions are so cool!" Roland said to Violette. I snickered with Piper as he failed at flirting.

"Hi guys." Neal greeted us, sitting down. I conjured a apple and handed it to him, motioning for him to join us. Neal was Piper's older brother and a close friend.

"So, Dad wants to get Mirabella, kill Pan again and get out of Neverland with Hook's ship." He told us.

"How does one kill Peter Pan? Isn't he immortal? That's what... Mira told me." I trailed off.

"You're thinking of a different type of immortality. Pan can be killed, he just can't die of natural causes. Because he's... you know, forever young," Neal explained.

"So what's the plan?" I said sinisterly.
