Love's Awakening

Chapter 8-unedited

Anna's P.O.V

"What are we going to do, Rumpel?" Rumpel? What is Stiltskin doing here? I try to open my eyes but it is no use. I can't seem to move any part of my body. What has happened to me?

"I don't think there is anything we can do. She must be kissed by her true love, and her true love is dead," a voice, which I assume to be Stiltskin says. I try to tell them that he isn't, but I can't move my mouth, I can't get any words to come out. This is starting to really frustrate me now. Why I can't communicate with them?

"There must be another way," Felix. God, how I have missed his voice I can feel a pressure on my hand and I know that he is holding. I wish I could hold his hand back, but I can't. This is literal torture.

"I'm sorry, Felix," is all the voice replies before everything starts to fade. I try as hard as I can to wake up, but it doesn't work, my body is not working with my brain and I have never been more irritated with myself than I am right now.

I feel something shove me hard and I bolt up-right, panting from the effort of trying to get to Felix. I look around my surrounding, disorientated for a second before I realise that I am still in the treehouse. I sigh, knowing that I wouldn't have been able to get off of the island so easily. Pan is never going to let me leave, and I think I have come to terms with it now. Maybe I should just give in to him.

"What were you dreaming about?" I startle from my position on the bed and look to my left, seeing Pan look at me with confusion written all over his face.

"You have to stop creeping up on me, Pan or you are going to give me a heart attack," I tell him, placing a hand over my heart.

"What were you dreaming about, Anna?" he repeats, a stern look on his face.

"I wasn't dreaming about anything," I reply, pulling the covers off my body and walking towards the door to my treehouse.

"Then why were you calling for Felix?" he asks, anger evident in his voice. I sigh and turn around to face, knowing that we would be having the same conversation that we have been having since I went with Felix.

"Because you took me away from him, Pan and I want to be with him again," I tell him truthfully. Having the same argument with him is starting to get really tiring.

"You shouldn't want to go back to him, Anna. You should want to stay here with me, your true love," he states slowly as if he were talking to a young child who can't seem to understand the concept of something as simple as their ABC.

"You are not my true love, Pan. Felix has been a better love to me than you ever will," I snarl at him, getting annoyed with having this conversation so early in the morning. The anger in his eyes flares and I can see the tension growing in his body. I can tell that he is trying to control himself, but I know that he wants to shout at me, maybe even hit me.

"Don't say that. I am the only person that you should love,"

"Well I don't!" I exclaim, my own anger growing.

"You're going to have to learn," he spits at me, his jaw and fists clenching signalling his growing anger.

"Why are you doing this to me, Pan?" I whisper, fed up with the shouting and malicious tones coming from him.

"Because I want you to be happy," he says simply. I look up at him surprised. Is he really this dumb?

"Well you aren't doing a very good job," I tell him, shaking my head and laughing softly under my breath. "You honestly think that this is making me happy, me being here with you?" I ask him and he nods his head, his face emotionless. "I am not happy here, Pan,"
