•Chapter 67•

Killian's eyes turned dark as he tried to resist the Dark One's magic restraints. Rumpelstiltskin forced his hand into the Lost Girl's chest. He gripped her heart tightly. He ripped out the partly dark heart out of Y/n's body. She gasped for air. The Dark One squeezed it tightly, nearly crushing it. The Lost Girl's eyes started to water. But she didn't scream. She refused to scream. She did that once, and she wasn't going to show weakness towards them ever again. Especially not Rumpelstiltskin. Meanwhile, in the camp, Regina was still torturing Y/n with her magic. The girl was screaming at top of her lungs. Her throat was starting to hurt. Killian had turned away from the scene. He couldn't see her like this. "Skull rock!" She suddenly screamed. Regina stopped what she was doing. "They're at Skull Rock," Y/n tells them, "But you haven't got much time," she added. "Tell me, dearie," Rumpel started, "did you think you could defeat me? That you could free him and live happily ever after?" He asked her.
He gave her heart another tight squeeze. She looked at him with her watery eyes. "Let go of her," Killian tells him sternly. Rumpel looked at him. "Or what? You'll cut off my hand?" He snapped back. The Dark One turned his attention back to the Lost Girl. "Oh, I can only dream of his heart being crushed by the sight of your corpse," Rumpel said. With watery eyes, at the edge of breaking, Y/n still managed to pull up a smirk. Her whole body was starting to tremble because of the pain flowing through her body. "If only you'd be alive to see that." She spoke. Rumpel squeezed her heart once again. "You should really think twice before you do that." She added.

A few gasps sounded behind him. Snow White clung to her prince as they took a step back. "Oh my god." She whispered. Rumpel turned around, still holding the Lost Girl's heart in his hands. "Father," He started. Peter Pan was walking straight toward him. "You really should've taken my deal, Rumpel." He said. He used his magic to take Y/n's heart from his hands and glue Rumpel's feet to the ground. Both Regina and Y/n were released from the Dark One's magical grip. Y/n almost collapsed. Pan made himself appear right in front of her so he could catch her. Y/n looked up at him with a sweet smile. "Took you long enough." She tells him. He smiled at her. "Apologies, love, I had to take care of something." He replied.
"H-how is this even possible?" Snow White questioned. "You were dead. They killed you." David continued. Pan looked at Snow White and her Prince Charming. "It takes a lot more than Dreamshade to kill me." He explained. He looked at Y/n and tucked a strain of hair behind her ear. His fingers then trailed over her jawline. "I had some unfinished business." He continued. The Lost Girl's cheeks flushed bright red. The two Lost ones looked into each other's eyes. Their eyes then trailed down to the heart that was still in Pan's hand. This all felt too familiar to him. He was holding her heart in his bare hands. Having the power over her. He then glanced up to look at the pirate standing a few feet away from them. 

"You're alive," Killian said. "Indeed I am," Pan replied. "So it's true. All of it." Killian responded. Pan had a smug smirk on his face. "It is." He tells him. "How did you do it?" Killian asked him. Pan let out a chuckle. "Wouldn't you like to know?" He smirked. The boy took a few steps back. "I have my ways." He added. Killian just looked at the boy. "How's the search going?" Pan asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. "I've found what I was looking for," Killian replied. "Did you?" Pan asked him. The boy disappeared for a second. Killian looked around the docks. Suddenly, Pan appeared next to the pirate. "What are you gonna do now?" He asked, "Trap me in a box? Because you've already tried that. And... look where we are now." He continued with a smirk. Killian glared at him. "I wanna talk," Pan tells him again. "
About her, I'm assuming?" Killian questioned. "She wants you to live," Pan informs the pirate. A smile appeared on his face. "Oh, how flattering," Killian replied. "We both know if it were up to me, you would have died a long time ago." Pan reminds him. "I'm glad to see you're taking her orders. Seems like someone is able to control Peter Pan after all." Killian replied. "Not really," Pan tells him. He holds out his hand. Killian frowned at him. Suddenly, a heart appeared. Killian's eyes widened slightly. "Is that-" He started. "Y/n's heart?" Pan questioned, "That it is." He added. "Did you?" Killian asked. "Did I have her heart all this time?" Pan questioned. Another smug smile appeared on his face. "Indeed I had." He said. He stepped closer to the pirate. "When she practically begged me to take her back to camp after staying in the echo caves, I did. And when I did, I ripped her heart out. I ripped it out so her heart would be mine, and mine alone." Pan tells him, "So she would never leave me again." He added.

"Peter?" Y/n whispered. Pan shook his head, shaking himself out of his memory. He looked down at Y/n and pressed her heart against her chest. "Our happy ending starts here, Darling." He whispered to her. Y/n smiled brightly as she looked into his green eyes. "This is going to hurt." He whispered. Y/n nodded and squeezed her eyes shut as Pan pushed her heart back into her chest. "You're not getting out of here!" Rumpel tells him. The demon turned around to look at his son. "Oh, but we are." He says, "And so are you." He added.
The Dark One furrowed his eyebrows. What was he talking about? Was he playing games? "What are you talking about?" Rumpel asked him. Y/n looked up at Pan. The demon smirked at his son. "Oh, right. So, Hades and I had a little chat." Pan started, "And your dear old father came up with a brilliant plan." He added. Y/n cleared her throat. "Along with some help, of course." He continued. The demon stepped away from his girlfriend to get closer to his son. "What did you do?" Rumpel asked. Pan smirked again and held out his hand. "See it for yourself." He said. "Rumpel?" A soft voice said. The Dark One snapped his head towards the sound. The beautiful young woman he loved was slowly approaching him. "Belle?" He whispered. He turned to his father again. "No!" He yelled. "Oh, yes," Pan smirked, "You see, son, you didn't want to stay here. And in order for me to leave, I had to find a living soul. And I did. A pure one too." He continued. Belle had a frightened look in her eyes. "And he was eager to have such a pure soul in his possession," Pan added.
