(Beth's P.O.V.)
I parked my bike at the club, the Night Howl (a stupid name in my opinion) next to the other girls' bikes. I paid to get in, and smoothed out my outfit. I was wearing black leather pants, a red corset, strappy black heels and a black leather jacket. My hair was straightened and hung around my face in a dark curtain.
I looked around and saw the girls waving at me, sitting on the leather couch in the corner of the room, next to the dance floor. Rebecca ran over and pulled me over.
"What's that?" Kaylee asked, gesturing to Henry's book, which he had let me borrow when I told him I was gonna try to recruit twelve new members. (He flipped out.)
"I'm about to sound really crazy," I said.
They all looked at me weirdly.
"Okay, here goes nothing," I said.
Lucky me, they were all hyped up on Monster so I didn't sound as crazy as I thought I would.
"So wait, we've been the same age for twenty eight years?" Jessica asked.
"Yup," I said.
"This does sound pretty crazy," Kylie said.
"So wait, who are you?" Amy asked.
I flipped to my picture in the book and said, "My name is Beth. I was a princess who didn't want to get married when I was ten, so I ran away and became a pirate and was raised by Killian Jones, AKA Captain Hook. He became my father. Then our ship was attacked by mermaids and in the ruckus I went overboard and washed up on the shore of Neverland, where I was found by the Lost Boys and put in a wooden cage suspended from a tree. Then one day I was lowered down to meet Peter Pan, who was a bad guy, so I showed him and his Lost Boys less than no respect, but he still decided to let me stay at the camp, and a short while later we fell in love, but then one day, he just, decided I should go find Killian or something, put me to sleep with poppy seed powder and sent me away. I know it wasn't that simple, but that's all the book says."
"Who am I?" Katie asked.
"And me!" Taylor yelled.
"Me!!" Danielle shouted.
"Who am I?!" Alex asked.
"I'll look," I laughed and started looking through, trying to find a picture of one of them.
Then I came across a picture of twelve princesses sneaking through the woods.
The Twelve Dancing Princesses!
"The Twelve Dancing Princesses," I mumbled to myself.
"What?" Jen, Andi and Lily all asked at the same time. Lily was the youngest, about Henry's age.
"You guys are the twelve dancing princesses!" I said. "The King used to lock you in your room at night, but in the morning your dancing shoes would be worn, as if you spent the whole night dancing. He promised whatever man figured out this mystery the throne and his choice of the princesses. She he used a charm to make himself invisible at night and snuck into the princesses' room. He saw them all wake up and take their dancing shoes and sneak out through a trap door, and he followed them through the woods, across a lake, to a ball where they danced all night, wearing out their dance shoes. And when they came back in the morning he revealed himself and told the king, and he married the oldest daughter. Or at least in the original. We were all different back home. When you, Taylor, found out your father had married you off to some guy, you decided to run away, and you all went with her. You were still running away when the curse struck."
"Where were you when the curse struck?" Lily asked.
"I was trying to find my father," I said. "Captain Hook."
They all looked at me, and there was something in their eyes I had never seen before. And I knew they believed me. I smiled.
"Who's Henry?" Lily asked.
"He's just Henry," I said. "He was born in this world. He wasn't affected by the curse. But his mother Regina however," I said, flipping to the picture of the evil queen in front of her vault, "Is the evil queen. Snow White's stepmother. Which makes him what I call, 'Prince Henry.' "
The others smiled.
"But, Henry is also the founder of what we call 'Operation Cobra.' He and I are the only members so far. But, I want you guys to join," I told them. "Do you want to?"
They all nodded excitedly and I said, "Then welcome to the club. But you can't tell anyone about it. It's top secret."
They all nodded again and they were all grinning.
"Is Peter Pan in Storybrooke?" Taylor asked.
My stomach dropped. I hadn't even thought about Peter Pan. Was he here?
"I doubt it," I said. "I mean, unless the curse got to Neverland. So there's a chance, but it's small. I'll ask Henry about it."
