Little Lost Girl

12

Peter Pan POV:
I walk out of the tent with my queen by my side. "My brothers! Tonight, the dream of Neverland will awaken from its slumber. Tonight, the heart of the truest believer shall fulfill its destiny, and with it our destiny. Tonight, Henry saves magic!" I announce and the boys cheer while my lost girl clenches my hand. I know she feels bad but I would do the same for her. 

"Can I go with you?" She asks me. "No my love it's far too dangerous for you," I say and she frowns. "I'll come back right after and get you so we can have our celebration. Sound good?" She nods and blushes. She turns to Henry and hugs him.

(y/n) POV:
"Good luck Henry. I'm so thankful for what you're doing." I say to him. "We better get going before it's too late," Peter says pulling Henry along into the dark forest.

'Are you going to let the love of your life kill an innocent boy, not to mention Henry is your adoptive brother?' A voice in my head speaks. 'But Peter will die if he doesn't do this.' 'If you let this happen just think of what your mother and Emma will think. They will hate you for letting this happen you need to stop this. Run if you're quick enough you can make it.'

I start sprinting through the trees. Once skull rock comes into view I can already see their boat docked. "Come on come on think!" I say to myself. Seriously you're the most powerful witch! You brought yourself back to life, and you can't figure out how to get across the water?! Walk on it or poof yourself right where you need to be!' The voice speaks again. Right! I vanish from the spot and transport myself right into the skull.

"What's the hourglass for?" I hear Henry ask. "Marks how much time we have left before Neverland's magic runs out," Peter says twisting his words to fit his story. I can't let Henry die, but I can't let my true love die ether. "Is something wrong?" Henry asks. "No. Come with me." Peter pulls Henry over to a place away from everything and leaves.

"Henry. Henry comes on we need to get out of here." I say quickly running up to him. "What?" "We need to go, if we don't you'll get hurt," I said tugging on his sleeve. "No, I'm going to be the hero." "God, you are just as stubborn as your mother! Come on!" I roughly tug pulling him up. "No." He mumbles and pushes me away. His push was harder than he thought and it sent me flying back making my trip and hitting my head on the rock wall. The last thing I see is Peter's boots before I blackout.

Peter Pan POV:
I walk over to where I left Henry and see him crying over something. "What happened?" I ask and rush to my love. "I-I'm sorry. She was trying- She was just- I'm so sorry I didn't mean to." I lean down to her and heal any injuries. "It's alright she's fine, but we must do it now before it is too late." I pick her up and carry her near the hourglass.

"What do I have to do?" "You must give me your heart Henry, the heart of the truest believer."

"You mean I have to believe." "No Henry. I mean you need to give me your heart."

"But...what will happen to me?" "You'll become the greatest of all heroes." "You can tell me the truth. I know all magic comes with a price. Saving it must come with a price, too."

"I would never lie to you, Henry. I mean, you're right. There is a price. You have to stay here on the island with me and (y/n). I know it's a huge sacrifice, but isn't it worth it?" I say making up a quick lie.

He nods. "Hero's have to make sacrifices all the time. My family taught me that. Then they'd be proud if they could see you now, because you're about to save them all. Now, are you ready?" Henry nods. "Then let me help you." I grab his hand and put a spell on it so he can rip his heart out. He plunges his hand in his chest and pulls out a gold glowing heart.

"HENRY WAIT! Whatever Pan's telling you to do, don't do it." Baelfire yells coming into view. "Dad? You're alive?" "I am buddy. You need to listen to me. Pan is lying to you." "Oh well pleased to see you too Baelfire. No to mention the savior and the Evil Queen." I say looking at each one of them. You know you have great chances when your girlfriend's family hates you.

"Henry, you need to get away from him now. He's trying to hurt you. By the looks of it he's already hurt (y/n)." Emma says looking at (y/n)'s body. "He would never hurt her. They love each other." Henry states. "I forbid it!" The Queen yells. "My island, my rules, my queen, my way," I say through gritted teeth.

"This is what's gonna save magic," Henry says. "No. The only person Pan's interested in saving is himself." "No, it's not true," Henry argues back.

"Of course it isn't," I say walking in front of him. "Yes, it is. Pan can't live without you dying. If you give him your heart it's gonna kill you." "They're trying to stem your belief, Henry. Don't let them. Remember, every hero gets tested."

"Why would they lie?" He asks me. "Because that's what adults do Henry. You know that better than anyone. They're being selfish because they don't want to lose you."

"Henry you have to choose now. We're running out of time." I say looking at the hourglass to see it only has minutes left. "We believe in you, Henry. Because we love you." Emma says. "I love you too, but I have to save magic. I'm sorry." Henry pushes the heart into my chest and I instantly feel the power rush through my body.

They all rush to Henry while I watch. Stupid boy. "What the hell you do to him?" Emma asks as I float back to the ground. "Oh, I didn't do anything, Emma. It was Henry. He offered me his heart off his own free will." I say looking over to see (y/n) in the same place I left her. "I'm gonna take it back from you!" Emma lunges at me with a blade but I move out of the way with ease.

"I don't think you have it in you. Rumplestilskin didn't. Why should you?" I ask tossing the box in my hands. "Where is he. what did you do to him?" Neal asks. "Why he's right in this box, safe and sound and out of the way. Unfortunately for you, he can't hurt me anymore." I say walking over to (y/n). "Get away from her." Emma slashes her sword on my arm. "How did that feel?" I chuckle. "Like a tickle," I say and fly out of the skull.
