Unshadowing Pan

Breaking The Curse

Maybe I had avoidant issues. That was the conclusion i was beginning to consider after waking up that chilly morning and going out. Maybe I was just too in my head. Pan and everyone else were people I was supposed to rely on. I should trust them. At least, that's what I wanted to do... but there was this other part of me that kept bringing me back to my past memories. Like a chain holding me back. 

 "My, don't you look troubled," spoke a voice I had not quite anticipated running into this morning.

Stopping my heels I prepared for the worst. A witch wouldn't attack out in mid daylight, right?  Regardless of the answer  I was beginning to reconsider Regina's offer to train my magic because apparently this morning,  I took a wrong turn.

"Zelena?" It wasn't that I was afraid of her, rather she only showed up when there was a convenience to her. 

"You know I couldn't help but notice what happened with you and Pan yesterday. Young love sure is dramatic," she recalled. And though as curious as I was to know why she had even known that, I rather not mingle with the wicked witch of the west.

"Don't you have monkeys feed?" I walked passed her. I don't think she considered I wouldn't be afraid of her.  Maybe she thought I'd be rather easy to intimidate and manipulate. Little did she know, I've dealt with the Peter Pan. 

"Well you sure are no fun," she pouted, much like a child. "I suppose my tricks won't work on you then.. so I'll just cut to the chase."  A ragged dagger appeared in her hand, one I was much to familiar about. It was the dagger Emma and everyone else constantly cautioned me about. It was the dark one's dagger. 

She smiled wickedly after noticing how my body went stiff. I walked back cautiously, examining the dagger as she waved it around, taunting me. 

"Well this shut you up, didn't it?" she smirked. 

I scowled when beside her appeared a figure I never thought I would see again. UNder different circumstance I would have been relieved. He did after all sacrifice himself to save us from Pan and his shadow, but this time he was under Zelena's ultimate control. 

Rumple, who appeared beside her, looked down as if in shame.  He rested his hands in front of him, clasped together as if awaiting orders. 

"What do you want?" I glared, knowing that if I were to resist or run, I'd have to face Rumple.

Zelena laughed as she turned to Rumple. "I just love this," she stalked towards me, smiling evilly. "The power."

"Not for long," I told her, biting my tongue because maybe it was not a good idea to make her angry. 

"I don't know whether I like that sharp tongue or want to cut if off." Her eyes darkened as if she had made her decision.  She lifted the dagger as if to command it, but was stopped. 

"Get away from her!" Pan who appeared from nowhere stood ready to fight, a threatening look in his face. If I wasn't worried before I was now. I could risk getting hurt by Zelena, but to place Pan in danger when he currently had no real way to defend himself. 

"And the drama continues..." Zelena pulled away from me. She looked irritated, and decided quickly then. "Rumple, kill them."

At and instant Rumple appeared beside Pan, much too quick for my to react. But even then I felt so helpless. I watched Rumple pull out his heart, Pan's beating red heart. 

"No!" I yelled as Pan stood paralyzed an angered look on his face as if he was struggling to fight and breath at the same time. I myself felt myself fill with a rage.
