He's a Hero to me. (A Peter Pan - OUAT - story)

{chapter thirty six}

Skylar's POV

I panic. Granny gets off the phone with Charming and hurries over to Snow. I watch her panic before hurrying off to find her husband. Peter rushes over to me.

"Your parents are still here? They still live in town?" He asks. I nod. Granny tells us she'll watch over Wendy while we go with Charming and Snow. Peter protectively keeps a hand on my back while we follow them to my old house. When we get to the step, I cower into Peter's chest. He wraps his arms around me.

"You two stay back. We don't know if they'll get aggressive," Charming says. I nod. Peter pulls me over to the side, so we can stay out of their way. They go inside. I expect to hear yelling, crashing, and stomping. But no sound rings out from the house. Then, they come out. And not Charming and Snow. My (adoptive) mom and dad.

"Skylar!" She screams. They each grab and arm and pull me toward them. I whimper and try to cower away.

"Get off her!" Peter yells, wrapping his arms around my waist and trying to pull me back. Charming and Snow run outside.

"Give us our daughter!" They yell at him. They rip me completely from Peter's grip and ... hug me?

"Oh, sweetie we missed you," my dad says.

"We really did," my mom coos. I was very confused, and very scared.

"Thank You, Charming. For bringing her back to us,"

"She's not coming back to you," Snow says.

"She's going with him. And so is Caleb," Charming says. They're completely shocked. Peter takes the moment of hesitation to get me from their grips. Charming pulls out two pairs of handcuffs, slapping them on my mom first. My dad, he gets away from him and pulls out a knife. He aims it at me. I panic and scream. I shoot him with magic. He collapses to the ground, the knife falling from his hand.

"Oh God I didn't kill him, did I?" I whimper. I couldn't kill someone. Not just like that. Charming checks his pulse.

"His hearts still beating. You didn't kill him," I nod, and slowly back into Peter. Charming puts the cuffs on my dad and calls Emma to help him. A school bus pulls up, and kids get off. One kid walks up to us. The others just state.

"What's happening?" He asks.

"Caleb. You don't have to worry anymore. They're going away for a long time," Snow says.

"Why wouldn't I worry about that?"

"Didn't they abuse you?" My mom glares hard at him. And he backs up, shaking his head.

"Well, they abused your older sister, they're going away for that. Now I'll give you another chance to tell me. Did they hurt you?" Charming says. He slowly nods his head and pulls up his sleeve. His wrist had many cuts across it. He then slowly points to the knife on the ground.

"Skylar, Peter, why don't you talk to Caleb? I think it's best he goes back with you. But it's his choice," Charming says. We nod.

"We'll be at the diner," Peter says. I didn't feel like moving. If I lost control that quickly I could kill someone. I could murder someone using my magic. And it could be completely on accident.

"Hey. Come on, let's go," Peter says to me. I nod, slowly moving my legs and heading toward the diner.
