The Queen's Daughter

Chapter Nine

Ashlyn sucked in a breath, the tears spilling from her eyes as she teleported herself to her 'treehouse'. She grabbed her guitar that she hid in the branches. "I can't believe he did that... No wait I should've known," Ashlyn muttered under her breath. "he's nothing but a monster. A cold, heartless, terrible, handsome..what am I saying?!" She threw her hands up in the air in frustration.

Ashlyn laid against a sturdy branch and began strumming and singing softly.

I'm like a crow on a wire,
You're the shining distraction that make me fly
Home
I'm like a boat on the water
You're the raise on the waves that calm my mind
Oh every time
But I know in my heart, You're not a constant star

And yeah, I let you use from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet, Fallin' for ya
Fool's Gold
And I know you turned it on for every girl you met
but I'm not done yet, Fallin' for ya
Fool's Gold

I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless
I get lost in your beauty and I can't see
two feet in front of me
And I know your love's not real
That's not the way you feel,
That's not the way you feel

And yeah, I let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet, Fallin' for ya
Fool's Gold
And I knew that you turned it on for everyone you met but I'm not don't yet, Fallin' for ya
Fool's Gold
Gold,
Gold"

Ashlyn sighed as she finished the song, closing her eyes. "Great, now I have Stockholm Syndrome," she muttered.
Suddenly, slow clapping came from a bit to her right.
Ashlyn rolled over onto her side. "Go away Pan, I'm in no mood to see you," Ashlyn said, her back to him.

"Wrong, dearie. Try again," Rumplestilskin smiled evilly as Ashlyn's body froze. Ashlyn turned to face Rumple as she sat up.

"You..." She growled, her eyes narrowing.

"You're coming with me dearie," Rumple smirked and grabbed her hand, teleporting her to his camp.

Henry paced around the camp. "Where could she be?" He mumbled to himself. He jumped as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to face the person, hoping it was his sister, but it was Pan.

"Is there something bothering you laddie?" Pan asks comfortingly. Henry only looks down. Peter bends down to where he was Henry's height. "You can tell me Henry," Pan smiles.

Henry looks up at him. "It's Ashlyn, she's missing. I haven't seen ever since everyone left earlier," he sighed, sitting down on a nearby log. Peter let a look of fake concern cover his face.

"Really? I could've sworn I saw here with the small group that left to hunt but, they came back. I'm so sorry Henry," Peter's charming voice dripped with false sincerity. "I promise, on my life, that we will find your sister."

Ashlyn woke up in a large wooden cage on a poorly built bed. "Oh no, oh no no no no! This is not happening!" She paced her cell nervously, but stopped when she saw one of her oldest friends, Baelfire, with his back facing her. "B-Bae?" She stuttered, trying to hold back tears.

Neil turned around, his eyes wide that she was awake. "Ashlyn, I'm so sorry. My papa made-" He tried to explain himself, but got cut off.

"Hold up, your dad, is Rumplestilskin?!" Ashlyn shouted, taken back that this piece of information was never shared with her.

Neil ran a hand through his hair. "Well, you were never around! You only came in your dreams remember? You still spent more time with Pan then me!" He shouted.

"Look at you two, don't you just look adorable," Rumple mockingly smirks at Ashlyn, causing her eyes to glint angrily.

"What do you want with me Dark One?" Ashlyn growled at him menacingly. "I'm not afraid of you anymore."

Rumple chuckled darkly. "Oh, believe me dearie, you wouldn't want to know." This caused Ashlyn to try to reach for him through the wooden bars.

"Tell me!" She shouted, feeling her blood boil. Neil rand to separate the two.

"Hey knock it off Ash!" Neil said. Ashlyn raised an eyebrow at him.

"You can't tell me what to do Baelfire! I don't listen to anyone, except for Pan! I'm a Lost Girl remember?" Ashlyn rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Neil sighed. "Look it's Neil now and I'm sorry but-"

Rumple cuts him off. "You two can argue later, right now we need to get Henry back." Ashlyn raised an eyebrow.

"Seriously? You have to be insane if you're going to try to get into Pan's camp," Ashlyn rolled her eyes.

Rumple grinned at her smugly. "Don't worry dearie, I have a plan," He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him. "and you're part of it."

"Why do you need me? I'm worthless to Pan," Ashlyn muttered, leaning against the bars.

"No, dearie, you're not. You're actually quite a use for that demon," Rumple smirked. "And now, you are gonna help me."

"As if, I'd never help a monster like yourself," Ashlyn snorted, rolling her eyes.

~~•~~

"Let me go!" Ashlyn struggled against the ropes binding her hands behind her back. Neil covered her mouth.

"Be quiet! You'll get us caught!" Neil whisper shouted as they got into position near Pan's camp. He then motioned for Ashlyn to sit down. Ashlyn sat down stubbornly, still not happy that she's being used as a pawn.

Rumple followed in behind them, nodding at Neil, who gave a firm look back. Rumple then knocked it all of the Lost Boys, including Henry, and avoiding Peter.

"Laddie, you can come out, you know I barely bite."
