All the magic (OUAT Peter Pan)

Chapter 53: Not going to be Underestimated

"Why hasn't that one woken yet?" A kind voice asked. Hope slowly opened her eyes to see she was on a horse. Her wrists had been tied together and she was laying down in front of the saddle. She closed her eyes so she looked asleep.

"I don't know. Once we get back we can have someone take a look at her." A second not-so-kind voice replied.

"I just worry, she is only a child." Kind voice said. Hope opened her eyes a little bit to see they were on a beach and Emma and Mary Margaret were tied behind the horses and had to walk. Good, they're alright. Maybe pretending to sleep for a bit longer isn't a bad idea.

They stopped walking and Mary Margaret asked, "What is this place?"

"Our home." Mean voice told them as the horses began to walk again. No one talked for a while and paid Hope no attention. Slowly she moved her wrists so she could escape from the ropes easily if she needed a quick escape.

"Slow your horse, Aurora." Mean voice said. "We're almost there."

Kind voice who she assumed to be Aurora slowed her horse to a stop. Hope opened her eyes and turned her head. "Where am I?" She asked with a yawn.

"You're awake!" Aurora told her. She had on a light purple dress and red hair. "Mulan the last one woke up."

A woman covered in armor walked over to the pair. She pulled Hope's legs down, making her slide off the horse. "Stand by the others."

Knowing that she was clearly the leader, Hope walked over to the others without question. She saw her bow, sword, and knife on the third horse. "How long have we been here?" Hope asked them.

"Quite." Mulan ordered as the three girls walked in front of her and Aurora. They were at a camp full of people with little to nothing. Some makeshift tents had been set up along with some guard towers. It reminded her a bit of her of the camp back in Neverland.

"It's like their refugees." Emma whispered.

"We're survivors." Mulan corrected quickly as everyone began to look at them.

Aurora walked behind them taking in the sight. Looks like she's new here too. While she was distracted Mary Margaret kicked Aurora and yelled, "Emma run!" Hope broke out of her ropes and ran with the others, not wanting to be left behind. Even if their 'escape plan' was a bad one.

While they ran Mulan threw something at Mary Margaret's back making her collapse on the dirt.

"Shit." Hope mumbled as she tried to pick up Mary Margaret.

"Mary Margaret! Mary Margaret!" Emma screamed as she turned around to help her. Together they rolled her on her back as Mulan walked over to them. "What did you do?"

"Take them to the pit." Mulan told the people that gathered around them. Everyone grabbed them and carried or dragged them to 'the pit'. Hope struggled against them but did not use her magic quite yet. She wanted to save that for when it was going to do the most help.

They were dragged into an underground cave with a door blocking the mouth. "Be careful. Hey, be careful!" Emma yelled at them as they dropped Mary Margaret on the floor. "Hey. Come on, wake up. Hey. Can you hear me?" Emma whispered to her friend.

"Don't worry Emma. She will be alright." Hope told her placing a hand on Mary Margaret's forehead.

"Do you need help?" Someone asked from the shadows at the back of the cave.

Emma sat up and asked, "Who are you?"

"A friend." The woman told them. She sounded older. She walked into the light and had on a formal blue dress. "My name's Cora." She told the two with a kind smile.
