We had managed to find a good place to make camp only ten minutes later. I was the first to lay out my bedroll and to get inside. The others followed soon after and one by one I could hear their quiet snores reach my ears. Something about this island makes me feel restless. Lost even. It's a feeling I'm all too familiar with, having lost many nights of sleep after Cora had erased my memories. I felt a part of me was missing and now I know that there literally was something missing from me. But now? Now I have that same feeling and it's unnerving, to say the least.
I eventually managed to fall into a fitful sleep, nightmares of being trapped underground, unable to breathe plaguing me. I awoke to Emma shaking me awake and telling me that she seen Pan. We quickly woke the others up, catching them up to speed on what's going on. That Pan had given Emma a map, a blank one. He told her that the only way to reveal the map is to admit who she truly is.
That's what we've been doing for the last hour. Or, I should say, that's what Emma's been doing for the past hour. David and Snow went to check the area for Pan but I doubt they'll find anything. The rest of us are simply waiting for her.
"He so likes his games." Hook says. He's sat on a rock, none too happy with current events. I don't blame him. The thought of Pan coming into our camp while we're all sleeping doesn't exactly make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
"What game? There's nothing there." Regina remarks, agitated, gesturing toward the blank piece of paper.
"If he said there's a map on this parchment, then there is." Hook responds, pointing at the map.
"Great, if I just stop denying who I really am, whatever that means, then we'll be able to read this thing." Emma says sarcastically. I stand up and begin to pace back and forth. I've always thought better when I'm moving.
"He wants us to find him but why?" I also think better out loud.
"He's probably leading us straight into a trap." Regina answers but I shake my head.
"Pan doesn't need a trap. If he wanted us dead he would've killed us all in our sleep last night." I respond absentmindedly.
"Alice is right. He doesn't need a trap when this whole island is his bloody trap." Hook informs her. I try to recall the story of Peter Pan but I had only seen it once, in my apartment. I remember watching it the first time and laughed the hardest I have ever laughed in my life when I see the depiction of Hook. It sure would make my life easier if he was more like he was in the cute film made for children. I imagine my emotions would be far less confused.
"The island of the lost boys." I mutter with furrowed brows.
"What was that, love?" Hook looks up at me with a raised brow.
"This is the island for lost boys. What if he wants to make Henry believe we've abandoned him? That no one's coming to help him." I offer.
"Why would he do that? What could he possibly want with Henry?" Emma asks.
