The Believer

Pan, Peter Pan

Felix and I walked back into the camp. I noticed the lost boys gathered around the fire dancing and cheering. Pan sat there playing the pan flute staring at the fire as the boys danced around it. Felix fixed himself a bowl of what looked like stew and then fixed me one too. I thanked him and we walked towards Pan. Pan noticed our arrival and put down his pan flute and looked at Felix and I

" Well-" He asked

" She's amazing, incredible fighter and a natural at sword fighting. She's almost as good as you" Felix said and Pan smiled.

"Wonderful" Pan said and went to pick up his instrument again

" But Pan I need to talk to you about something, in private" Felix said to Pan. Pan stood up and they both walked alway from the fire towards Pans hut. I shrugged it off and sat down and ate my dinner watching the boys go crazy, I looked over and noticed that Henry was sitting by himself. I went over and sat next to him

" what's wrong kid?" I asked he looked at me and an immediate smiled formed on his face

"Aria" he exclaimed and hugged my side

"Why aren't you with the other boys" I asked and he shrunk down again.

" I miss them, I thought they would have saved me by now" he said referring to his family

" their here, their coming for you but it's not as easy as it looks we have to take precautions" I said

" Your helping them?" He asked and got excited I nodded and smiled

" We are taking Pan down from the inside, they found you Henry. But you have to keep this a secret you can't tell anybody" I said and he nodded and hugged me.

"Aria" Pan called

"Anything wrong?" I asked as I approached him

" No I Just need to speak with you about something" He said and lead me into his hut

" you told Felix you were adopted?" He asked

" Yes, I was put into the agency at the age of 10" I said and looked down

" Do you remember anything about your parents before you were put in the agency?" He asked

" No but I always have these weird dreams of me being on a pirate ship and my father being a pirate and my mum was killed in front of me and my father" I said choking back tears. I don't know why though

" I think you should get some rest" Pan said and he gestured to the cot but I moved to the small couch and lay down closing my eyes. I felt a blanket cover me and the door quietly close. I lay there a few minutes before falling asleep.

"Your father abandoned you hes not coming back" Peter spat at me holding a dager to my neck

"Ive give up on him coming back years ago Pan now my only regret was not killing you when I had to chance" I spat back at Pan grabbing my dagger and digging it into his side he screamed in pain and faltered back

"Your gonna wish you didnt do that" Pan said as he pushed me against a tree.

"Pan never fails"

I gasped and woke up in a sweat, I looked over at Pan to see him fast asleep I swung my legs down and stepped on the cold ground of his hut. I was about to open the door when two arms wrapped around my body.

"Where are you going" his british accent thicker than normal

"Just to get some air" I said. He seemed to believe me as he released his grip from me but before I could reach for the knob he whispered in my ear

"Dont be long" and with the I swung open the door and walked to the edge of the camp. Hook, Emma and Regina where there on the other side waiting for me

"Is he trusting you?" Regina asked

"Maybe a little too much" I said and shivered

"What did he do to you" Killian asked me

" Nothing im fine" I said " He had Felix teach me how to fight now I just need to learn his weakness " I said and I told them I needed to go I left feeling guilty of what Im doing to Pan but I remembered I cant have any weaknesses. I got back to Pans hut to seem him sitting on the side of his cot holding his head. I walked over and sat next to him

"Anything wrong" I asked he looked up at me from his hands he had fear and sadness in his eyes.

"No. Nothing. You're sleeping in the bed Ill take the couch" he said and moved himself to the couch and I sat on his bed looking at him for a moment before laying down and slowly closing my eyes.

Daddy where are we going I asked my father as he smiled sadly
"Im giving you a new start baby" He said as he hugged me tightly then let me go he gave me one last look before walking away getting back on his ship.
"Daddy" I screamed tears pouring down my 4 year old face
"Daddy stop!" I yelled once more before the ship sailed out and away from the Island. I dropped to the ground and started crying someone sat next to me on the ground a boy around 17
"Are you ok?" He asked I didnt know him but I got up and latched myself into his arms in a tight hug he hugged me back
"Whats your name little warrior" he asked me as we pulled apart
"Aria" I said snuffing. He wiped a tear from my cheek
"Well Aria, what do you say about coming back to my camp with me and being my little warrior?" He asked and I nodded he got up and held out his hand for me I took it and he helped me up and we started walking
"Whats your name?" I asked the boy
"Pan, Peter Pan" he spoke and I smiled at him
