I Believe In You

Chapter 17: Pan trick

"Where's Henry?" She asked calmly but her eyes were stormy.

He shallowed soundly. His eyes on hers. "Emma I... I have no idea." He admitted and he passed his hand through his hair anxiously.

"No." Mary Margaret breathed sadly.

Emma felt her legs weak. Killian took one step closer in order to catch her but David was faster. He hugged her and made her stand. "Come and sit for a while."

"No." She protested and pulled away from him. "I need to find my son. And I need to do it now."

"She's right." Snow agreed. "Every wasted second may be hazardous for him."

"Ok. Let's split up." Neal suggested. "Emma, you go with your parents. Robin with Regina and Liam. Papa... Well you don't need protection. You go alone."

"I'm coming with you." Killian declared.

Neal nodded and they all left the house.

Several moments later Killian and Neal were far away from their area.

"Where are we going?" Killian asked.

"I know a house here. Nobody lives in it. It's the great place for hiding someone."

"We lose nothing to take a look." Killian continued.

When they arrived at the house Neal was the first to walk in.

Killian was following him until he saw him turning around to face him. He shook his hand and the door closed loudly behind them. It was a big, empty hallway. There was an also big staircase and no window uncovered. Neal's hand shook again and this time it made Killian feel dizzy. He felt his body falling to the ground while Neal disappeared in a swirl of smoke and Peter Pan appeared in his place.

"What the..." Killian tried to speak but he fell unconscious to the ground.

When he woke up, some moments later, he was in something like a cell. The walls were made of stone and in front of him there were prison bars. He stood up and looked around. He was trying to find a way out when he noticed the locker on the bars. He smiled wickedly and walked silently towards there. He could see Pan but he knew he wasn't visible from his position. He took his hook off its base and caught it with his good hand. He unlocked the locker slowly and he walked out and to the opposite direction from Pan's.

His steps became quicker but he stopped immediately when he heard an anxious moan. He turned to look where it was coming from and his eyes widened at the sight of Henry, chained up, inside of another cage much like his previous one.

"Bloody hell." He muttered.

He used his hook again to walk inside and then to let Henry free from the ropes.

"Are you alright?" He asked looking all over his body to find out himself.

"Yes. He just put me here." Henry whispered.

"What happened exactly?"

"He had still my dad's appearance when he leaded me in here. Then, when he locked this door he revealed who he really is. Why are you here?"

"Well, he did the same to me. But he forgot one thing." He lifted up his hook and winked at the boy, who was now smiling.

He told him to be quiet with a gesture and Henry nodded but when they turned to leave Pan was blocking the way.

"I see you found my friend." Pan mocked them.

"I've already used this Hook to unlock the bars and set the boy free. Don't make me use it through your body too." He threatened him angrily.
