•Chapter 42•

Rumple watched as they slowly sailed towards the island. He inhaled deeply. "He's on board." He heard his son say behind him. Rumple turned around to see Neal. "Who is?" Killian asked him. Neal pointed his thumb behind him. "Henry." He answered. Rumple's eyes widened slightly. "What's Henry doing here?" He questioned. "He's worried about Y/n. He thinks Pan might hurt her and that she would be safer with us in Storybrooke." Neal answered. Rumple shook his head slightly. "He shouldn't be here. Pan is still after his heart. If he finds out he's here he will die. We all will." Killian spoke up. "That's what I told him. I also told him to stay aboard the ship as we look for her." Neal replied. Rumple bit his bottom lip slightly. "This can't end well." He whispered. Neal looked at his father. Rumple was about to walk past him when Neal stopped him. "What are you doing?" He asked his father. "I'm going to put a protection spell on him. So Pan can't hurt him." Rumple said. "Regina already did that. You might wanna cast a spell that will keep him inside." Neal tells him. "Do you think he will be stupid enough to leave? After everything that happened?" Rumple asked him. "He's worried about his friend. He wants her to be okay. He will risk his life if he has to, to make sure she's alright. Of course, he is going to sneak out." Neal tells his father. "He's not going to sneak out, Bae," Rumple replies. Killian's eyes traveled behind the two. "We're here." He said. They were extremely close to the island by now. Killian quickly made his way back to the steering wheel. 

Y/n woke up in Pan's arms. His nose was nuzzled into the crook of her neck. She glanced around. They were back in their tent in the camp. Y/n sat up slightly. Pan pulled her tighter against him. "Don't leave me again." He mumbled in his sleep. Y/n smiled and turned around to look at him. Pan opened his eyes to look into hers. "You told me to go." She tells him. Pan pressed his forehead against hers. He brushed his nose against hers. "The worst decision I've made in years." He assures her. Y/n put her hand in his messy mob of hair and played with it. Pan inhaled deeply. Her sweet vanilla scent hasn't left yet. It was the perfume Pan had the lost boys make for her. "God, I love that smell." He whispered to her. He puts her hands on her waist. She smiled and snuggled into his chest. "I like these mornings with you, Pan." She tells him. "Peter," He reminds her, "My name's Peter, Love" He added. "Sorry. I like these mornings with you, Peter." She corrected herself. Pan smiled at her. "That's a good girl." He smirked at her. He pushed some hair behind her ear. "Do you want to talk about Bae?" Pan asked her. She nodded in response. She rests her chin on his chest. "What's he doing here in the first place?" She asked him. "He's here for Henry," Pan explains. "But why?" She asked him. He runs his hand through her hair. "Henry is Baelfire's son. He's come here to save him." Pan tells her. Y/n rests her head on one of her hands. "But you're not going to let him, right? How did he even get here?" She asked him. "Of course not, we need him. And I think the shadow brought him here. It doesn't matter how he got here. What matters is that we are getting our happy ending." Pan tells her and kisses her lips. Y/n blushed a little. "You taste like apples." She tells him. He chuckled at her. "I thought you liked apples." He replied. Y/n smiled at him. "I never said I didn't." She tells him and kisses him again. "That was a lovely morning." Y/n's voice sounded. Pan glanced up to see her sitting on the bed. He smiled at her. "It was, wasn't it?" He replied. The vision of the girl he loved most in the world, got op from the bed. She walked up towards him. She leaned on the table Pan was standing by. "I'm looking forward to having them again." She tells him. Pan let out a sigh. "We will have them again, Pan." The vision said sternly. Suddenly, he felt something change inside his body. It was a strange feeling. Something he hasn't had in a long time. "What is it?" The vision asked him. He looked up at her. "Someone's here." He tells her. He locked eyes with the vision of Y/n. She let out a sigh. "Killian." She said. 

Killian jumped onto the little beach of Neverland. Neal and Rumple followed. The pirate turned his head to look at Neal. "It's quiet." He said. Neal nodded in agreement. "Either Pan let his guard down, or something horrible has happened." He replies. Rumple stepped forward. "We better find them quickly before Pan moves his camp again," Rumple said. "I don't think he will move the camp anymore, mate. He only did that to avoid us." Killian replies. "So, are we going hiking again?" Rumple questioned. "Seems to be the only option we have," Killian said. The three of them walked into the jungle. Rumple kept scanning their surroundings as they walked. "This place still gives me a weird feeling," Neal spoke up.  Suddenly, there was a chuckle next to them. "Oh, it should." Someone said. The trio turned towards the sound. The demon boy was leaning against a tree. Killian and Neal drew their swords and aimed them at the boy. Rumple just glared at him. "Where is she?" Killian asked him. "Safe." Pan snapped back at him. "Where?" The pirate asked him again. "Somewhere you will never find her," Pan answered. The demon took a few steps closer to them. "You should get back on that ship before I kill all three of you." He tells them. "We're not leaving without Y/n," Neal spoke up. Pan turned his head to look at him. "Well, you're not going to get to her." He said, "She doesn't want to see you. None of you." He added. "That's because you whispered that in her ear. I wanna talk to her." Killian snapped at him. "You're not going to," Pan replies. He appeared right in front of the pirate. "I'm going to give you one final warning." He said, "Leave before I kill you all." He added. Rumple let out a chuckle. "We both know that won't happen." He said, "If you kill me, you'll kill yourself." He said. Pan walked up to him. "We'll see about that." He replies. The two had an intense staring contest before Pan took a step back. He looked at the three men. "Leave the island when you still can." He threatens, "There are no second chances."  He added. With that, the demon disappeared into the night. Killian and Neal looked at each other as Rumple kept looking in front of him. "Yeah, that's gonna be a problem," Neal said. 
Meanwhile, Pan appeared back into his treehouse. He walked back over to his desk. "I love it when you do that." Y/n's voice spoke up again. She puts her hands on his shoulders. "Really sexy." She smirks. Pan let out a chuckle. He turned around to look at her. "I know you're not really here, but your eyes still enchant me." He tells her. Y/n let out a giggle. A small blush appeared on her cheeks. "That's so sweet." She tells him. Pan smiled at her. "Well, it's the truth. Your eyes are extremely enchanting. To be honest with you, I think that's why all the boys love you." He tells her. "Because of my eyes?" She asked him with a smile. He nodded slowly. "Are you sure about that? Or do you think it is because I'm, ya know, a girl?" She smiled. "Well, that too." He replies, "But it's not just about that. They don't just love you because you're a girl. Maybe they did at first, but you're the best thing that ever happened to us. To the island." He tells her. Y/n blushed again. "I really don't know what I would do without you," Pan tells her. The vision smiled at him. "You're so sweet." She replies. "I love you," Pan tells her quickly. "I love you, too." She replies. Pan smiled at her when suddenly a thought popped up in his head. "Oh my god." He said. Y/n frowned at him. "What? What?" She questioned. Pan waved his hand around, making the glass coffin appear again. The vision was gone. It was just him in the room. He used his magic to open the coffin. There she was. She lied still. Her skin was still pale. He pulled up her lifeless body. He brushed the hair out of her face. His thumb softly brushed over her cheek. He took a few deep breaths as he admired her face. "True love's kiss." He whispered. He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers softly. He pulled away after a few seconds. He waited patiently for her eyes to open...but they didn't. "Apparently doesn't work any time." He added.
