CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
"It Was All You"


Lily and Adrienne walked through Neverland's jungle together. Gold and Neal had parted from the group, after Neal discovered Gold's true intentions of finding Henry. The Dark One believed Henry was his undoing and wanted the boy dead. Understandably, Neal was upset and decided to find Henry on his own and Gold...well, the Jones women left him behind. They weren't sure where he went; and they couldn't care less.

"I hope we find her in time." Adrienne said quietly.

"I understand Pan is a monster, but would he really harm his own child?" Lily asked.

Adrienne replied, "If I wasn't here, he would've killed her a long time ago."

Suddenly, Fallon came rushing out of nowhere and tumbled to the ground. She managed to pull herself up but struggled to stand. "Fallon!" Adrienne gasped before she ran over to her daughter to help her sit up.

"What on earth happened to you?" Lily asked as she joined them.

"I don't know. I tried to stop them..." Fallon said, almost breathlessly. She dragged herself over to a tree, so that she could lean against it and let out a heavy sigh. That's when Lily noticed the wound on Fallon's leg. "What happened?" She asked.

"I got hurt trying to fight off the lost boys. They cut me and it stopped my magic from working, I didn't stand a chance." Fallon said. She looked down at her leg and sighed. "I'm never making it out of here alive anyway, so why stress about it, right?"

Lily frowned slightly. She couldn't understand how Fallon had made peace with her fate so quickly. If it were the other way around, Lily would be doing anything to save herself.

"You don't need to stay with me. I'd rather die without an audience." Fallon said.

"We aren't going anywhere, baby girl." Adrienne said. "I'm not leaving you and neither is your grandmother."

The teenagers eyes drifted over to the dark witch who stood behind her mother. Lily spoke, "Despite what you might've heard about me, I take family very seriously."

"Aye. That she does."

Lily's head spun around and she saw Killian in between David and Evander. She sighed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Looking for some vines. Mary Margaret's orders." David said.

Lily looked at Evander and noticed how unwell he appeared to look compared to David and Killian. Evander noticed the way Lily was looking at him, and did his best to look at least a little bit okay but Lily wasn't falling for it. She knew him better than he thought she did.
