The Kingdom of Misthaven

Chapter 10: A New Threat

Emma

We are all gathered in the Throne Room surrounding Amelia and Peter Pan. "Why is he here?" Rumple asked glaring at Pan as he smirked at him. "Down boy, you don't want me angry, do you?" Pan taunted as Amelia frowned. "You promised not to do anything to them." Amelia stated as Pan looked at her and grinned. "I'm sorry." He whispered taking her hand in his. "Amelia?" Mom asked frowning. "Sorry to come on short notice congratulations by the way Emma! You look stunning in that beautiful gown of yours." She complimented smiling. "Thank you." I said smiling.

"Peter here isn't the only threat you're facing." She stated as we all frowned. "Then what the fuck is he doing here?" Neil asked as Amelia glared at him. "Watch your language around him." Amelia defended. "Why are you defending him?" Dad asked as Amelia turned towards him. "Because I care about him. And right now he's the not the enemy." She stated letting light appear out of her palm and we saw a face of a man writing something. "Who is that?" I asked as we continued to watch. "It's the author whose going to destroy this whole place." Amelia replied as we felt power through out the land. "He's started." Pan mumbled as we felt the ground quake. It shook the place so hard the ground beneath us divided in half. Killian covered me as Pan covered Amelia.

"What just happened?" Snow asked as the quake stopped. "The start of his turn of changing the stories... My brother has been using several people to rewrite your stories and... This Author holding my ink and pen is now destroying everything you and I have ever known about other kingdoms and our own Enchanted Forest." Amelia replied as Peter cut off her. "Sorry, explain that again because I have a hard time believing that Pan is helping us." Rumple stated glaring at Pan. "Stop." Amelia ordered as Pan was about to retort. Rumple fell silent as well.

"You are acting like children! Rumple... I fancy him alright. For some reason I do and I'm happy with him. Can't you just accept that!?" Amelia bursted as the fire in candles in the room got brighter. "Amelia!" Regina yelled as Amelia calmed down and Peter caught her as she collapsed.

"Are you alright?" Peter asked worriedly caressing my cheek with his thumb. I sighed holding his hand. "I told you this was a bad idea." He whispered as I smiled and shook my head. "No, it's not. Peter, we have other pressing matters that are important." I whispered weakly as he helped me stand. "What do you suggest we do then?" Robin asked as I leaned on Peter for support. "We prepare ourselves... A curse is coming and everything happy ending I ever wanted for all of you would vanish when... When Emma's son gets born." I replied as everyone looked at Emma. "I'm not pregnant." She stated confused. I sighed and walked towards her. She gulped as I touched her stomach. "You're pregnant for three weeks now." I stated as she and Killian blushed. Charming had wide eyes and I smirked. "Wait, what does Peter Pan have to do with all this?" Neil asked as I chuckled. "Pan has everything to do with this because he's going to help us lessen the effects of the curse." I replied as Peter gripped my hand tighter.

"Is that so? Isn't he just a selfish boy?" Rumple asked as I shook my head. "I told you to stop it." I said raising a brow. Rumple fell silent. "So what's the plan?" Regina asked as we all gathered around the table. "We wait. Is the Hatter here by any chance?" I asked. "Nope, he's in the woods somewhere with his daughter." Regina replied as I let Peter go. "Say that again." I ordered as Regina gave me a confused look. "The Hatter has a daughter." She replied and I quickly got Peter's hand and pulled him towards the balcony. "Where the hell do you think you pair are going?" Charming asked frowning. "I need to see that daughter of his." I replied as Petter carried me bridal style and flew towards the East.

He was gripping my arm to hard. "Peter, you're hurting me." I stated, but he ignored me. "Peter," I called caressing his cheek. He stopped and looked down at me. "What?" He asked frowning at me. "What is going on? You're so angry at me for some reason." I replied as he gripped even tighter. "Peter!" I yelled as he had wide eyes and quickly loosened his grip in me. "I'm sorry... I don't like this new found interest you have towards the Hatter." He replied as I sighed and kissed his cheek. "Peter, I fancy you and that's not going to change... The Hatter used to be the man who took care of me until I grew up and I didn't know he had a daughter so I want to see her." I replied as Peter sighed continued to fly forward.

"I'm... I am..." Peter said as we reached the cottage. "I'm sorry." He mumbled as I smiled and pulled him gently towards the window of the house to see the Hatter with a girl playing. Peter ducked and covered my mouth. "What are you doing?" I asked as we saw a figure walk towards the house. We watched as the Hatter opened his door and had a heated discussion with the figure. "Amelia, it's him." Peter whispered letting his hand fall to wrap around my shoulders.

The Author left with the Hatter after he said goodbye to his daughter. We followed them to see the Author push the Hatter in his hat and leave him there. I almost screamed if it weren't for Peter who stopped me with a kiss. I called down pulling away as the Author looked at our direction, but left with the hat. "Peter, you just kissed me." I stated as he took my hand and we walked towards the cottage.

"Yes, I did. And we'll talk about it later." He replied as he knocked on the door and the girl answered looking scared. "Who are you?" The girl asked. "My name is Amelia and he's Peter. Can you come with us? I swear we're good people, but you have to come with us now." I stated feeling a bad aura. She gulped, but nodded after she got her teddy bear. "Bring her out of here now." I ordered letting Peter go. "What about you?" He asked frowning. "I'll catch up, but you have to leave now." I ordered as I kissed him and pushed him up as he flew away looking worriedly at me.

"Reveal yourself." I ordered as I heard a twig break. "My, my. You've grown into a beautiful girl, but you know that you're ruining my plans, yes?" The Author asked smirking. I gulped closing my eyes. "What do you want?" I asked as he circled around me. "I want you to let me do my job. You could see your brother after this." He said smiling. "My... brother?" I asked frowning. "Yes, your brother. I know you're not from this world. Amazing here, isn't it? Time doesn't matter so you don't grow old." He said smirking. "Who are you?" I asked frowning. "An Author like you used to be. You know, watching you try to fit in is so painfully adorable. You're not like them yet you want to be with them." He stated touching my cheek. I slapped his hand away and he laughed backing away. "Stay out of my way, Amelia. Let me do my job and I'll write Malcom a better story, but you won't be in it." He whispered disappearing. I closed my eyes and collapsed to the ground. How can he be a threat!?

Little did Amelia know that the Author was lying about everything he's said except the part he said about her brother. The Author was changing everything about their stories. His only problem was; he's lost his ink and pen somewhere in this realm. Somewhere in the realm, a certain prince had the ink and pen given to him by an old man who is related to the Charmings.
