Only in Neverland EDITING

Chapter 17 Getting Out

"Hello Love." Is whispered into my ear. It's Pan. I try to get away, but his grip just gets tighter. "Don't struggle sweetheart, it'll only get worse if you do."

I whimper out of fear.

Pan forces me out of my hiding spot, as Emma, Regina, and Mom get tied to the tree by vines. "Are you still at it? Don't you know that Peter Pan never fails? I didn't expect you to find me, then again I shouldn't be surprised, and, you're mothers, quiet protective of your offspring. Believe it or not I understand that, but if you're looking to see Henry again, I have to tell you there's only one place you'll be reunited. In death!"

I watch as Regina struggles against the vines. "Having trouble moving? Not surprised given where you are. You see what's trapping you is your regret." Pan pushes me towards the tree and the vines reach out and grab me.

"What are you talking about?" Emma asks.

"This tree is the site of a very important event for me, I abandon my boy here."

"You have a son?" Regina asks.

"I'm older than I look." He says.

"If you have a child, you must regret losing him too." Emma says.

"But I don't, quiet the opposite actually. See I have him all boxed up so I don't lose him again."

"Rumplstilskin is your son?" Regina asks.

"That he is." Pan says.

"How is that possible you're-" he cuts mom off.

"Younger than him. Not really, just like you and your daughter."

"You're a fraud." I say.

"Your magic has weakened. You can't even hurt us, let alone Rumplstilskin." Regina says. I end up tuning then out until Pan grabs my chin forcing me to look at him.

"I bet you have a lot of regret that you just recently gained." He says.

"What?" Mom asks.

"Oh, does your "mom" not know what happened?" he asks putting quotations on the word mom.

He turns to look at Mom, but keeps ahold of me. "Little Alexis was only about four when she discovered she had magic. One night her parents startled her and she killed them by accident."

"Leave her alone, she's only thirteen!" Emma yells at Pan.

"Let me tell you about this tree, it attacks anyone with regret, and you've got plenty." Pan says releasing my chin.

"I regret not taking a better shot at you when I had the chance." Emma says.

"That not all is it Savior?" Pan whispers. "No, I have your son's heart inside of me, I can feel just how much you let him down time after time again until he-"

"Leave her alone!" Mom says.

"Perhaps I should, after all what chance did she have at being a good mother? Look at the example you set, abandoning her for twenty eight years."

"Are you finished? Regina asks snapping at him.

"Last words from the queen? Perhaps a death bed confession from the one who has the most to regret of all?" Pan suggests.

"Yeah, there's one problem with that. I did cast a curse that devastated an entire population. I have tortured and murdered. I've done some terrible things, I should be over flowing with regret, but I'm not."

She frees us all from the tree. "Because it got me my son."

Regina reaches into Pan and takes out Henry's heart. She then grabs the box, as Pan tries to grab if from where he fell. "Now," Regina says, "Let's go save Henry." In a last attempt to stop us Pan grabs my ankle, but I'm able to shake him off.

Lilly's P.O.V.

I watch as the lost boys board the Jolly Rodger. I see two of the boys walk on, I know that one of them is Felix. The other boy is the boy that punched Lexi.

I walk towards him, pushing past Neal. I walk straight up to the boy and punch him. "Lilly!" David yells grabbing me and holds me back.

"No, he punched Lexi!"

"He did?" David asks.

"Yes."

"Well, we'll deal with him when we get home." He says, still not letting go of me.

"Henry! Where is he?" Emma shouts, rushing on board.

"He's over here!" Neal shouts. They all rush over and Lexi kneels next to me.

"Hold on Henry." Regina says as she puts his heart back into him. Nothing happens.

"Henry?" Emma asks.

"Were we to late?" Lexi asks.

"Henry honey?" Regina asks.

He suddenly sits up gasping for air.

I hear Lexi let out a breathe next to me. As Henry hugs Emma and Regina, I look at her. "He's fine now."

"I know." She says, "Sometimes I worry."

Alexis' P.O.V.

I go down with Henry and Regina. As she tucks him in, I sit on the end of the bed. "We'll be home soon my little prince." She says leaving after putting a protection spell on Henry.

"You really-" I get cut off, as I'm thrown against a wall. It feels like someone is chocking me. When I look up I see Pan pulling out a knife.

He walks over to me with the knife pointed at me. "Hello Love." He says running the knife up my throat on to my face. I squirm trying to move but I can't.

"What- what are you doing?" Henry asks panicked.

"I wanted your heart Henry, but your mother took it away from me, left me for dead, her mistake. He tries to take Henry's heart again, as I try to fight against the grip around my throat. "Oh how cleaver." Pan says as the grip around my neck get's tighter.

"Ah! What are you doing?" I hear Henry asks.

"Ah!" I gasp as the grip around my neck get tighter again.

I focused so hard on my neck that I hardly noticed that I'm released. It hurts that bad. I rub my neck as Gold helps me up.

"Henry? Henry!" Regina calls.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Henry says.

"Are you sure? What about you Alex?" she asks, turning her attention to me. I nod my head.

"He's a strong boy Regina, you raised him well." Gold says.

Third Person P.O.V.

As Gold and Regina leave, Alexis goes over to Henry, and hugs him. Little does she know that she's hugging Peter Pan. As Gold put Pan in Pandora's box, Pan switched bodies with Henry.

As Pan hug Alexis back, he smirks. They're all to concerned with Henry's safety to figure out, that's he's not Henry.

"That really scared me there for a minute there." Alexis says burring her face in his neck. Pan took a guess at what Henry would do and hugged her tighter. "Don't ever do that again." She says.

"What?" he asks.

"Don't die. You're not allowed to die, ever." On the outside he gives a small laugh, on the inside he's agreeing with her. He wouldn't dream of dying.
