Not long after they had set off into the Dark Jungle the group had almost caught up to where Pan was keeping Henry. Hook and Ciara trailed behind the group hand in hand away from the rest as Emma lead them through the maze of trees.
"Ready to thank me yet?" Regina asked Emma as she knew her idea was better than the so-called savior.
"Actually, yeah." Emma admitted which sent glances of shocked looks between Hook and Ciara.
"If you'd let me do it sooner, maybe we'd have found him by now." Regina sassed before coming to a stop. She looked around slowly before continuing, "Wait. He's there. Pan. I can feel his smugness."
David stepped forwards and pulls out his sword, "Shall we? While we still have the element of surprise on our side."
Ciara rolled her eyes and scoffed, "You think he doesn't already know we're here?" Ciara said with a slight laugh behind her words. "Nothing happens on Neverland without Pan knowing, he may look like a boy but that's just a mask cloaking his inner demon." She continued as she scanned the trees looking for signs of Pans army of boys.
No ones here." Snow announced but before Ciara could open her mouth to reply sarcastically Snow continued to talk, "maybe your spell was wrong Regina."
"Yes. Blame me... again." Regina replied annoyed at her stepdaughter but before she could complain further Emma stepped forward looking at a figure stood with their back turned.
"Is that?... Henry" Emma yelled running towards the boy with everyone following her. The boy turned around causing the group to stop and instead of hope, fear washed over them as they came face to face with Pan.
"Hi Emma" He said with a smirk cemented onto his face.
"Where the hell is Henry?" Emma yelled holding out her sword towards Pan.
Pan began to circle the group looking smug knowing they'd fallen directly into his trap. "You broke the rules, that's not fair. Bad form." Pan said before looking at Ciara and Hook, "I expect more from you, captain, princess."
"Enough of your games Peter." Cira snapped back causing Pan to laugh, "Give me my brother back."
"Sorry. Can't, Don't you know, cheaters never win." as Pan finished his sentence cheering and shouting came from behind the trees and the lost boys revealed themselves.
The group turned their attention and got ready to fight, where as Ciara refused to back down from Pans stare. She could feel the anger building up beneath her skin, waiting to be set free. Her hands began to glow with a ominous black light and without breaking her stare she blasted the magic at Pan sending him into a tree.
Before Ciara could continue her attack on Pan she was shoved down by Hook as an arrow narrowly missed her head. She groaned from the contact before standing up and sending a grateful smile to Killian. The battle against the lost boys continued and Ciara took out 5 boys at once with a sleeping spell, but the fight stopped when a whistle was heard from the tree line.
"Remember what I told you. That map will show you where Henry is... only when you stop denying who you really are. I'll make sure to send Henry your regards." Pan said whilst looking at Emma before he ran off with his little pets.
...
The group were back at a camp sight Hook and Ciara sat in front of Emma as they watched her just stare at the parchment with no emotion.
The two sat in comfortable silence as they watched Mary-Margaret approached her daughter. "Killian." Ciara whispered.
"Hmmm?" Hook replied turning his head to look at Ciara.
"Thanks for you know, saving me... again."
"why you thanking me love, you think I'd let you die." Hook asked teasingly as he smirked at his love causing her to roll her eyes biting back a smile of amusement. Ciara didn't say anything instead she leaned closer to Hook pressing her lips against his.
They pulled away smiling at each other, both of them caught in a trance looking at each other with so much love.
They were broken out of their bubble by Emma rushing over, "The map is working, we know where Henry is." She said in a rushed breath. Ciara and Hook stood up quickly and he took the map from Emma.
"Uh... we're here at the Southern tip of the isle, in the middle of the Dark Jungle, and Pan's camp lies due north." Hook explained pointing at the map with his Hook.
"That's were he's keeping Henry" Emma stated and Ciara rolled her eyes thinking no shit sherlock.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Regina asked as she turned to her daughter.
"Well, the terrain's not easy. There will undoubtedly be some nasty impediments along the way." Hook responded and Ciara nodded her head in agreement.
"We should prepare. We only made it out of our last encounter because Pan let us." David said, once again thinking he's in charge. "We need a new plan."
"Agreed. "t's time we stop playing his game and he starts playing ours." Emma said and Ciara snickered at her statement.
"And what game would that be." "And if I disagree?" Regina and Ciara said at the same time.
"Go ahead, but I think you know our best chance is together." Emma replies looking at Regina and completely ignoring Ciara.
"You better be right." Regina nodded as she walked away, David and Mary-Margaret following after her
"Excellent show of patience, And that's what defeats a nasty little boy." Hook said to Emma earning an elbow to the rib from Ciara from his flirty tone. He winces slightly before pulling out his flask and popping it open.
"Is rum your solution to everything?" Emma asked sarcastically.
"It certainly doesn't hurt." Hook replies taking a drink before passing it over to Ciara who gratefully took a sip.
"So just how did you unlock the map?" Ciara asked.
"I did what Pan asked."
"And just who are you, Swan?" Ciara continued getting closer to the blonde.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Emma replied.#
"Yeah, that's why i asked." Ciara shot back and Hook pulled her away from the savior.
