Chapter 17

Asben's POV:

Rumple told us to trust him so I am. It doesn't stop my brain from thinking of many things that could be going wrong as of right now. Is Tink really still alive? Does she have the spell book? Does Peter see everything I see? Has he already told me this? Was I not paying attention to him? My memory has been fading lately.

"Mother!" I hear a voice call. I feel a pain and realize I ran into Rumple. "You are the most magical being in many centuries and you can't walk without running into people. Excellent."Rumple grumbles. "Where are we goiny, boy." The princess spits. A flash of irritation sparks across his face and then he masks it with sarcasm. "I could tell you where you can go..."

The princess looks at him, puzzled. "To Hell? Get it? It's a joke." He explains. The princess rolls her eyes and sighs. "I'm glad you only had one child." And with that we keep walking.

After a little while (an hour, ten minutes, five hours? I'm not sure. I don't remember what measured time feels like.) We find the clearing.

"Okay, this is where we got attacked by Pan." Rumple begins. As Rumple starts we hear a whooshing noise followed by grey smoke. Wendy appears leaning against a tree a few yards away. "Oh dear sister, you're back. Have you come to save me?" She asks wickedly. She radiates an aura that I have felt before....but when?

"W-Wendy?" I whisper.

"Yes, that's what people call me." She laughs.  "We're here to take you back. Defeat the shadow and save Peter, remember?" I reply so very confused. He smile fades. "No. I'm staying with shadow. You know what's funny? He's a great companion. Very nice and loyal. Which is a lesson you should teach your son." She smirks.

I glance at Rumple, his mouth hung open. Guilt written over his face. "Rumple?" I ask. "I'm sorry..." he mouths.

"What's going on?" I ask. She laughs, "Isn't it obvious? Your son betrayed you to help me!"

"B-but I'm your mother. I LOVED YOU." I yell. He shakes. "Maybe we left you because you left us." Wendy laughs coldly. "I died Wendy. When death comes for you, you can't say no."

"Unless Peter asks nicely." She replies annoyed. "That's not fair...." I began. "No. You know what's not fair. YOU. You didn't die when you ran off with Peter. Why didn't you come back? Was it because he loved you. Key word:l oved." She interrupts.

"You're hurt." I guess.

She shakes her head, "You see I was but then I realized, why have family when you can have power." She asks. "Because family will be there for you." I blurt desperately. "Like Rumple?" She responds easily. "LEAVE MY SON OUT OF THIS!" I yell. She laughs, "It seems I touched a nerve. So, should I tell you now or later that I fucked Peter....well shadow in Peter's body....and Peter as well. He has such a great body."

I stare at her shocked.

"You prETENTIOUS ASSHOLE." I exploded. Rage fills veins. I can feel magic replacing my sensitivity and emotions. I immidiantly think of one emotion. Pain.

I invade her subconscious and make her feel pain. Her agonizing screams fill the quiet air. "Asben!" Rumple screams. I stop. She regains control and shoves me to the ground with an invisible force field.

Rumple and Tiger Lily dart towards her, She freezes them easily. "Let that rage fill you sister. It'll kill you before I have to." She grins. "Before I kill you I want to tell you something. Your real family were murdered by Pan and he placed you under our care. Think about that. Your lover killed your mother and father. Who knows if you had siblings." She rambles.
