CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
"Skull Rock"


Henry followed Pan over to the main part of the camp where the Lost Boys were waiting for them. All of them eagerly awaiting, and hoping, that Pan's plan to restore magic was successful.

"My brothers! Tonight, the dream of Neverland will awaken from its slumber. Tonight, the heart of the truest believer shall fulfil its destiny, and with it our destiny. Tonight, Henry saves magic!" Pan announced as the Lost Boys erupted with cheers.

Gold walked through the jungle with Regina and Lily, making sure to keep Pandora's Box close to him. Gold rambled on about capturing Pan and mentioning something about Neal, Regina couldn't keep her sole focus on the conversation.

For reasons she couldn't understand, Lily kept creeping into Regina's mind. Even when she wasn't around. And even when Regina tried to push any thought of Lily out of her mind, she kept appearing; and it annoyed the hell out of her.

She looked over at Lily and when the two made eye contact, she felt heat rising to her cheeks and she quickly looked away. Of all the things that was going to live in her mind, she wasn't going to let Lilith Jones be one of them.

As she walked through the dark jungle with the heroes and her siblings, Lorelai couldn't take her mind off the woman she had seen. She had been running the image of the woman's face through her mind, trying to place her anywhere but she was getting nothing.

Evander fell back to walk beside her. "Any luck?" He asked.

Lorelai shook her head. "No." She sighed. "Usually when I see people, it means something but how can somebody I don't know mean something?"

"Maybe you met her when you were a little kid." Evander said, shrugging his shoulders. "Maybe it was our grandmother."

"What about your grandmother?"

Lorelai and Evander quickly turned around and saw Lily standing there. A confused expression plastered on her face. "Why are you talking about her?" She asked.

"I saw somebody that might've been her. But I don't remember ever meeting her, so I can't say for sure it was her." Lorelai admitted.

"What did she look like? What did she want?" Lily asked.

"Like you, I guess but different. And I don't know. She was just standing there and then she vanished." Lorelai answered. "It was probably just this island messing with my head, Mother. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I doubt it meant anything."
