Felix x Reader (From Once Upon a Time)

Chapter 8

Y/n's POV:

The cold iron bars of the cage pressed against my back as I sat, knees drawn to my chest, heart racing with a mix of fear and frustration. Felix's words echoed in my mind, each one a dagger twisting deeper. "You're doing quite a sucky job at it." My breath hitched at the thought of Henry, trapped in Pan's web, his fate uncertain.

A soft rustle broke my spiraling thoughts. To my left, a faint voice whispered, "Psst, over here."

I turned sharply, eyes narrowing through the dim light. A girl, her face partially obscured by shadows, beckoned me closer.

"Who are you?" I whispered urgently.

"Wendy," she replied, her voice tinged with exhaustion. "Wendy Darling."

"Wendy..." I repeated, testing the name. "I'm Y/n. I'm here with Henry. I need to get out of here to protect him."

Wendy's gaze softened with understanding. "I know. Pan's plans are... insidious. But escaping isn't simple. He watches, always."

I clenched my fists, frustration bubbling. "I can't just sit here. I have to save him."

Wendy sighed, her eyes distant. "I came back to rescue someone too. He sacrificed himself for my family. I couldn't let him die in vain."

Her words hung in the air, heavy with shared pain. "How long have you been here?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

"Too long," she murmured, closing her eyes. "Time loses meaning."

A silence fell between us, filled only by the distant sounds of the camp. Then, with a wry smile, Wendy added, "So, You and the guy with the cloak have quite the... chemistry."

I stiffened, heat rising to my cheeks. "It's complicated."

She chuckled softly. "Complicated is an understatement."

"My name is Y/n," I said. I paused before I continued, still not sure how much information I should share.

"I'm here with my friend Henry," I continued. "I need to get out of this cage so I can protect him from Pan! Is there any way I can get out of here?"

"I'm sorry... No. We are trapped in here. Trust me, I've tried everything."

"Ugh, if only I had my sword with me right now!"
I still hadn't found it since I had lost it when I first got captured.

I looked at her through the bars.

"So how did you get in your cage?" I asked, hoping to make some small talk.

"Oh... I came back to rescue someone. He sacrificed himself to help out my family and I wasn't about to let him die for us."

"Well, that was very brave of you."

"What about you?" She asked.

"Oh... Well, my friend Henry got captured and went through a portal with two people trying to take him back to Pan. I followed them into the portal and have been trying to help him get back to his mother. But as you probably overheard, I haven't been going such a great job."

"That's nice of you. I guess we were both trying to save someone..." She sighed and closed her eyes.

"So how long have you been stuck here?" I asked.

"Oh, I can't even remember." She paused for a moment.

"Henry, you say?" She asked, worry in her tone.

"Yes," I replied. "His name is Henry."

"Oh no..."

"What? What's wrong?" I asked, very concerned.

"Pan... He told me about Henry. He has a horrible plan to use me to get his heart since Henry has the heart of the truest believer. He is going to use it to make himself immortal!"

"WHAT?!" I shouted. "I knew he was up to something! Felix and Devin should have listened to me. I need to get out of here! I have to save Henry!"

"You can't! Trust me! I already told you, I've tried everything! And Pan isn't going to let you escape anyways. He knows when people leave the island so even if you were to escape, you wouldn't make it very far."

"This is not good," I said. Since my hands were tied, I couldn't do a lot at the moment. I had tried the reach latch by doing weird yoga moves, I tried getting to the lock with a twig I found in the cage, and I even tried to break through the wood by body-slamming the side of the cage. Nothing worked. The only thing it did for me was making my cage swing side to side. It was useless.

"So we're just stuck in here," I said. "Peter is just going to use us as pons in his little game?"

"I guess so. What he wants, he will get. He has a way of... manipulation?"

"Tell me about it," I said as I rolled my eyes. 

Peter's POV:

High atop the mountain, the wind howled as I approached Hook, who was struggling to support the ailing Charming.

"Don't pull him up yet," I called out, my voice carrying over the storm. 

Hook glanced over his shoulder, annoyance flashing in his eyes. "What do you want, Pan?"

I stepped closer, my presence commanding. "An offer. Return to my service. Like the old days."

Hook scoffed, adjusting his grip on Charming. "I don't miss the old days."

I smirked, leaning in. "What if I offer you something more enticing? Passage off the island."

His eyes narrowed. "Still not interested."

I raised an eyebrow, my tone turning cold. "What if I sweeten the deal? You can take someone with you. Your daughter."

His face contorted with a mix of anger and disbelief. "You leave her out of this."

I chuckled darkly. "Oh, but wouldn't it be nice to see her again? To be the father figure you've always wanted to be?"

Hook's grip tightened on Charming, his knuckles white. "What do you want from me?"

I leaned in closer, my voice a whisper. "You'll do my bidding. When the time comes."

"And if I refuse?"

I pulled his flask from his coat, taking a swig before tossing it back to him. "Have a drink," I said. 

"It always helped you think. Oh, and one more thing. If you don't accept my offer... Something might just happen to your poor daughter as well."

And with that, I Disappeared.

A/n: Heyyy beans! It's been a while but I'm back and better than ever! I haven't been so invested in a story for so long! I actually went through three cups of coffee, 6 billion cricks in the neck, and many hours editing and writing to get this chapter to you (Not really but you get the point). Hope you enjoyed it! <3
