The Kingdom of Misthaven

Chapter 7: Peter Pan Never Fails

Amelia

I glared at the shadow as it dropped me at Skull Rock. I was to be their Nanny as they say it. "I had hopes that you would be smart enough to know what happens to people who defy me." Peter commented as I looked down at what I was sweeping. I didn't do it intentionally. I just wanted to ease his pain, honestly, but I mispronounced a word and I teleported through his timeline that intertwined with mine. I bit my cheek and continued to ignore his taunting. "Won't you talk to me?" He asked as I turned to fix the candles. They've melted so I used my magic to remake them. "How'd you do that?" He asked frowning. I continued to ignore him. He's so confusing. Sometimes he's kind, most of the time he's bloody annoying and mean! "Amelia!" He yelled as I sighed turning towards him. "Yes?" I asked after remaking the last candle. "Why are you ignoring me?" He asked annoyed. "I'm not supposed to talk to my master." I replied as I walked down the steps and I heard a swish and Peter was in front of me. "Who told you I was your master?" He asked confused. "I don't appreciate your taunting so I made our relationship from prisoner and guard to master and servant since you told me I was going to stay here for a long time." I replied reaching the last step to end up near the water and mermaids just waiting for me to dive in.

I gulped as Peter flew in front of me again and offered me a hand. I raised a brow as he smiled. "Do you want a way out or not?" He asked as I hesitantly took his hand and we flew up in the air. I stayed silent as we reached the shores of Neverland. I sighed removing my shoes and felt the sand on my feet before sitting down and looking out the horizon. I felt someone watching me as I turned to look back. It must be my imagination, but I really felt eyes on me. "What's got your face so worried?" Peter asked sitting beside me. I rolled my eyes and turned towards the sea. I wonder what it would feel like to get in the water with no mermaids in it. "Stop ignoring me." He ordered as he reminded me of a distant friend from before. He used to be so kind and sweet, but he then turned bad because the woman he loved was killed by my brother. He was stupid, but I hate how it was also my fault.

Peter pulled my face towards him and I frowned. "What?" I asked as he smirked. "Peter Pan never fails. I will get Emma's child no matter the cost." He stated still holding my face. "That is why I'll stop at nothing to delay you as much as possible." I replied looking into his eyes. "Why are you really protecting them?" He asked as I tried to pull away. "They're family and the only one I have left. I made all your stories with happy endings, but... He took it. I'd gladly change your story if it means you don't touch my family." I replied as Peter cupped my cheek. "What are you doing?" I asked frowning. "I noticed that you have the same eyes of determination my wife use to have." He replied trailing his thumb on my lips. I pulled away and stood up. "I'm not your wife and never will be." I replied wearing my shoes and walking towards the forest. I need to find a way to talk to someone in Mi-

BUMP

Ow! I fell down rubbing my head. "Amy?" A small boy asked. I looked up to see a boy on top of me. No! It can't be! "Baelfire?" I asked confused. "I thought I'd never see you again!" He exclaimed hugging me tightly. "How are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Misthaven?" I asked frowning. "Papa let my hand go when he became the Dark One." He replied as I frowned confused as ever. "But I came from there a week ago." I stated confused. "Peter exchanged a boy with me to go there and spy on Emma aside from his shadow when he decided to give 'me' back to Papa." He replied hugging me tightly. I heard the familiar swish of wind and cringed hugging Baelfire tighter. "I see you've found Baelfire and know of my plan. It's just proof that I will never fail." Peter said landing beside us. I stood up with Baelfire behind me. "His name, what is it?" I asked as Peter came closer. "I'll tell you on one condition." He replied as Baelfire and I backed away little by little. I felt Baelfire being pulled away from me. I turned to see Kevin smirking at me.
