CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
"Tinkerbelle"


"Do you even know where you're taking us?" Regina asked Emma, sounding rather annoyed. Emma just rolled her eyes and continued walking, holding the map out in front of her. The blonde assumed that the map was leading them to Pan's camp, despite the fact he claimed to have no knowledge of the boy's whereabouts. Little did she know just how wrong she was.

After they had made it through the portal, Henry and Fallon walked into a dark and beat up looking part of the island. Henry didn't like the look of it one bit, so he stuck close to Fallon's side. Though he wasn't sure that he could one hundred percent totally trust her. But at that moment in time, she was his only form of protection.

"Where are we going?" Henry asked.

"Don't worry, Henry. You'll be fine. My mother isn't going to hurt you." Fallon said.

Henry still looked apprehensive, so Fallon walked over to him. "You're going to be okay. I'm with you, so that means nothing will be able to hurt you." She said reassuringly with a small smile.
