CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
"Poisoned""Anything important?" Killian asked as the group searched Baelfire's cave. They were looking for any kind of clue that would lead to their escape from the island. Emma rummaged around on what looked like a stone table. "I can't tell yet." She said before she held up a drawing. "I didn't know he liked to draw."
Killian nodded, "He got it from his mother."
Evander walked around and looked at all the drawings that were on the wall. Like the others he was hoping that one of them would mention an escape plan. He knew he wasn't going to make it off the island alive, but he wanted to make sure his family could.
Lorelai looked at her brother with saddened eyes. She could sense that something was wrong with him. She didn't know what but she knew. She could've asked him but she knew her brother wouldn't want to talk about it.
Despite Lorelai being the older sibling, Evander had always acted as if he was. He took it as his responsibility to look after his sisters, even his mother; and she wasn't the kind of person to need protection.
Emma had wandered over to a bunch of make shift cups and bowls; and David had joined her. "I don't think this coconut would make that great of a cup." He said, holding up a coconut covered in holes.
"Maybe it's a tiny colander." Mary Margaret suggested.
"Yes, because pre-teen Baelfire probably made lots of pasta." Regina said sarcastically.
Emma snuffed out the torch that Killian was carrying; and on the ceiling above them a map appeared. A map for them to find their way home.

A few feet away from the cave entrance, Lily, Gold and Neal stood in a line. Neither of them had dared take a step closer yet. Neal was obviously nervous; and Lily felt nervous too, though she didn't make her emotions as obvious as Neal did.
"So, who's going in first?" Neal asked, sounding just about as nervous as he looked.
Gold went to step forward, but Lily stopped him. "Not you. I'll go." She said.
Before the Dark One even had a chance to protest against Lily's actions, the witch had already disappeared into the cave. Upon entering the cave, Lily remained silent or as silent as she could be. There were small puddles here and there that she had to walk through. She had to have her wits about in a place like this.
