Love's Awakening

Chapter 6- unedited

Anna's P.O.V

"You sick bastard! I can't believe you would do something so...so...sick!" I scream at Pan. I knew he was capable of some things, but this is below low. How could anyone even think about doing this to someone else? Does he not even have a heart?! I am so fuming right now, all I want to do is pound his face in, but then I won't be able to get back to Felix. Just thinking about Felix makes me sad. I can still remember the words he spoke to me when he thought I died. Do you think he knows that I am alive? Did Regina manage to convince them that I am alive, or am I now rotting in a grave somewhere? I'm really hoping for the former.

"You're my True Love, Anna, I would do anything to make sure you are with me and not Felix." He spits out the name with so much distaste I'm surprised that Felix doesn't drop dead right now.

"True Love doesn't exist, heck, love doesn't even exist!" I exclaim for what feels like the hundredth time. What is it with these fairy-tale characters and thinking that love exists?

"Then why do you want to go back to Felix so bad? I mean, if what you say is true and you don't believe in love, why can't you forget about Felix?" he snarls in disgust. I know that I don't love Felix, no matter how strongly I feel for him, nothing will change the fact that, in my eyes, love does not exist. That being said, I definitely like Felix, and that is more than I can say about Pan.

"I don't have to love Felix to want to be with him." I spit at him. I don't even have to answer his stupid questions, it is his fault that I am in this position right now; I owe him nothing but a broken nose.

"Then why won't you stay here, with me?" he questions further.

"Because I actually like Felix! That is why I won't stay here with you. I. don't. Like. You." I see his face contort into an expression of pure pain and I know that my words have caused a lot more pain than they would any normal person. Is it weird that it gives me great pleasure to see him in pain? Ah well, I don't really care if it is anyway. A low chuckle leaves my mouth at the acknowledgement that I have caused him pain.

"It's funny, a year ago I was in the same position as you right now, but do you know what has changed?" I ask as I walk closer to him, producing an arrow that I had managed to acquire earlier whilst waiting for him to wake. "I no longer fear you. You are nothing but a little boy who wants attention, but you aren't going to get any from me, and you never will, so you better kiss me right now before I kill you right now before you can even blink." I answer my question before he can open that stupid mouth of his.

"What does Felix have that I don't? What have I done that has made you hate me so much?" Seriously! Is he honestly asking me this right now?!

"You are joking, right?! I mean, you can't be that dumb!" I exclaim, throwing my arms up in the air. "I thought you were supposed to be the all-knowing Pan, what happened to that, huh? Lost your touch?" I smirk at the growing look of anger in his features. A low grow leaves his mouth and he pulls uselessly on the ropes that I have him tied with.

"You know, funny thing happened to me whilst you were unconscious. I was thinking about how much I wanted to sleep in my tree house again, and you will never guess what happened." I tell him whilst playing with the arrow in my hand. When he looked at me with furrowed eyebrows, I chuckle and tilt my head up. He gets the message and looks up, his eyes go wide as he snaps his head back to look at me.

"How did you get it to appear?" he questions through clenched teeth, glaring at me.

"You thought I wouldn't have been able to break your little charm? I am more powerful than you think, Pan, and you were stupid to think that I wasn't." I spit at him. My anger and smugness turns into confusion when I see a smirk begin to form on his face.

"You think you have beaten me, love? How wrong you are. I knew you would counter the charm I put over you, but you think that it will be that easy to get rid of me and get back to your beloved Felix?" he throws head back against the tree, laughing at the thought. "You may think that you are a step ahead of me, but with every step you think you are taking, I have already took ten more steps. You will never get away from me again." and with that he disappears into a cloud of green.

I scream out in frustration, throwing my arrow at the tree where his head just was. How can I be that far behind him?! I thought I was finally going to beat him! I thought I would be able to see Felix again, but I should have known that he would be ahead of me. How could I be so stupid?!

"Anna?" I hear a small voice call out. I quickly turn around and see Regina smiling at me. Smiling? Since when does Regina smile at me? I quickly run up to her, not giving her a second to talk before I bombard her with questions.

"Did you tell them? Did they believe you? Did Felix believe you? How is Felix doing? What about Henry? How-"

"Anna, slow down, I can only answer one question at a time." She chuckles. What is wrong with her? Why is she being nice to me? I though she hated me. I thought we had a hate-hate relationship. "To answer your questions; Stiltskin confirmed that you are still alive, so everyone knows that you are not dead, Felix is fine now that he know that you are not dead, and no one has actually told Henry yet." I nod my head, knowing that it should be kept from Henry for as long as possible.

"What are you guys going to do?" I ask, walking over to the chair that I was sat in earlier whilst waiting for Pan to wake up.

"Nothing as of the moment. Stiltskin found out why you are not dead; you've been-"

"Cursed with a sleeping charm, yeah I know." I finish for her with a sigh.

"How did you know?" she questions.

"I had a little chat with Pan earlier." I smirk at the memory of his bruised and swollen face. I shouldn't be this happy over knocking someone out, but to be completely honest, I am very happy about it.

"I hope you did some damage." She says smirking at me. I smirk at her knowingly and her smirk intensifies. "That's my girl." She whispers, but I still manage to hear her.

"What?"

"Nothing, look me and the group are trying to figure out a way to get you awake again, but without Pan's living body, we can't do anything." She explains.

"What if me and Pan kiss in this world? Would that break the spell?" I ask, hopeful.

"I would have to ask Stiltskin, but I wouldn't get your hopes up; Pan wouldn't make a spell that you couldn't willingly and knowingly break." I nod in agreement, deflating without that hope that I had a minute ago.

"Don't worry Anna, we are going to get you back." She says before disappearing and leaving me alone.
