Across A Town Line

Chapter 35: Welcome to Neverland

*Pan's POV*

"Bloody hell," I said, rubbing my head as I stood up. Around me, there was thick foliage. It was dark and cold, and I had no idea where I was.

"What are you doing here?" Someone hissed from beside me. I looked to the sides, ready to attack. However, my eyes met no one until I looked down. I released my arms and smirked.

"Well, just who I was looking for," I started, imagining all the ways I could torture her.

"How did you find me?" She asked, standing up.

"I have my methods, witch," I spat.

"Why are you so mad darling? If I remember correctly, you got your precious shadow back, didn't you?" she said smugly. It took every ounce of effort I had to not smack the contempt smirk off of her face.

"Give me the spell," I growled.

"So you can do what? Undo it and give the Creator her heart back so you can live happily ever after? Do you really think she cares for you? Look at yourself, who would have feelings for a demon?"

"Give it to me," I hissed, my blood boiling.

"You see, without this," she said, pulling out a long white wand with gold embellishments. "I don't get my happy ending. And everyone deserves their happy endings, don't they?"

I sent her flying against the nearest tree trunk. She landed with a thud and released the wand (Which I supposed was what held the spell together). Suddenly, I felt myself being dragged to the floor.

"I won't let a boy steal my happiness," I heard Zelena say before she snatched away the wand and I felt myself being lifted off of the ground. Just as I was about to fight her grip, however, I was thrown to the ground once more. "Get down," she whispered beside me. I peaked through the bushes that were covering us and saw Cora coming down the dirt path holding a basket. She stopped a couple of feet away from us and set down the basket, which began to cry.

"Is that-?"

"Shut up," she snapped, distractedly. She kept staring at the scene in front of us, and I decided to take action. I tore the wand out of her hands and started running. I climbed up a tree before anyone could catch me. Hurriedly, I took the vial Rumpelstiltskin had given me and poured it over the wand. It started shaking in my hands and suddenly broke in half. Each half began to change shape, one forming a book and the other, a beating red heart. I took both items in my hands and teleported back to the ground.

As soon as I reached it, the ground shook and a crack resonated through the air. The world was falling apart. The sucking air of a portal began tearing everything apart. I started to walk towards the portal, but remembered I needed one more thing. Zelena.

I found her lying on the ground, gripping a tree. I reached down to grab her arm, but she moved out of my way.

"This world is falling to pieces, don't be difficult," I urged her.

"I'd rather die than go with you." Losing my patience, I grabbed her arm and pulled her upward, digging my nails into her skin.

The debris was flaying everywhere, threatening to hit me at any second. I kept checking the small sack tied to my belt to check that the wind hadn't snagged it away. Zelena kept fighting my grip, but I refused to let her go. I wasn't scared of what Rumple could do to me if I didn't carry out my part of the deal, but of what he could do to Ana. Fighting against the vicious wind and the threatening flying objects, I was finally able to carry us towards the gaping black portal.

The portal's strength pulled me forward as I stood in front of it. There was a moment of hesitation where I doubted everything. What if the portal took us somewhere else? What if I was only making things worse? However, I forced myself to forget everything. Without looking back, I stepped into the gaping hole.

...

I awoke in the middle of a road, looking up at the blue sky and instantly checked to see that the sack was still attached to my belt. Then, I stood up and inspected my surroundings, only to see that we were in Storybrooke. Zelena was still laying unconscious on the floor besides me. Grunting, I picked her up and began walking to Rumple's shop.

"Let me go!" She shrieked, pounding her fists against my back. I only steadied my grip and kept walking towards my destination. With each step, I increased my speed. The faster I got to the shop, the faster I could go get Ana.

The bell jingled merrily as I threw open the door and walked inside. I looked for Rumple amidst the disorganized chaos of the objects strewn around the counters.

"Looking for me dearie?" Said his voice behind me.

"Here's my part of the deal," I said, shoving Zelena towards him.

"What are yo-" Rumple made her fall to the floor unconscious before she had a chance to finish her sentence.

"Hades will be very happy to see you," he muttered almost inaudibly.

"What does Hades have anything to do with this?" His steely gaze settled on me.

"That is none of your business. Now, as far as I know, our deal is complete, so I suggest you get out of here before I decide to change my mind." I rolled my eyes at his warning, but disappeared nonetheless. There was no point in sticking around, especially when I had more important things to do.

...

"Do you have it?"

"Of course I do," I answered her annoyed. Ever since I got to Wonderland, the questions had been never ending. All I wanted to do was get Ana breathing again, even if it did mean it was the last time I'd ever see her.

We walked into the room where she was laying. I scrutinized every inch of her face, making myself remember every detail I could. How sad it was, to leave without figuring out what I felt towards her. I would never know or understand these feelings. Sighing, I lifted the top of the glass casing and reached for the sack.

"Ana," I started, once I had frozen everything around me. "I don't know what you did to me, but you did something. I wish I could have figured it out." I reached down to sweep a strand of dark hair out of her face. This was the last time I would see her. Unless...

I took her bright, red heart out of the sack and gently placed it back in her chest. I stood over her, waiting for her to take in that first breath, to see her eyes flutter open. However, nothing happened.

Just as I was about to scream in frustration, I saw her dark brown eyes stare up at me. I smirked at her confused face, even though what I really wanted was to hold her.

"Pan? Where am I?"

"Welcome to Neverland, little lost girl."
