"Were home" Emma yelled as they walked threw the door I sat at the Island with my head in my hands. Emma came into sight and came over to me

"Did you have a good night" she asked with a smile

"I think you need to meet Henry's friend" I said with pain and aggravation in my voice. She turned around just as Henry and Peter came down the stairs

"Oh mom this is-" Henry started

"Pan" She said almost breathless. I ran to my fathers side and blocked him as he tried to run to fight Pan.

"No hes not. Well he is hes just doesnt know anything" I said pushing my father back and going into the kitchen to get a glass. Emma looked at me with pain in her eyes

"Um Im Peter" He said a little frightened " Why are you dressed like that?" He asked my father

"Why does everyone bloody ask me that?" My fathet spoke in frustration.

"Emma I need a drink" I said and she gave me a look.

"Listen technically Im 21 years old" I said and she gave me the ok.

"You look really young for your age" Peter said

"As do you" I said with a bit of hatred in my voice.

"So Peter, what time are your parents coming to pick you up" Emma asked no trying to raise suspicion

"Um actually, I kinda live alone" He said with his head held down.

"Mom can he sleepover we really need to finish this project" Henry asked

"Ya of course" She said she looked like she needed a drink so I handed her a glass. I looked over at my dad who was still staring at Peter. He looked over and his eyes focused on me. I shook my head and put my glass down not feeling well to drink. I plopped on the couch put my legs on the coffee tabled and threw my head back putting my hands over my eyes.

"Scream it will make you feel better" Emma joked. But I did as told and screamed.

"I was joking" Emma said

"I wasnt" I said with a darker tone. Peter and Henry ran down the stairs

"Is everything ok?" Henry asked

"Everything. Is . Just. Fantastic" I said in the most sarcadtic tone I could muster rubbing my face and getting up.

"Nope. I need that drink" I said stealing the glass from my fathers hand. I downed the liquor in seconds.

"Your definitely my kid" He said laughing.

"Mom, whats going on" Henry asked

"I dont know any way to make you remember" Emma said sadly. I looked up from the empty cup. I saw Emma look at Hook

"Hey kid, um what do you say about taking a couple days off of school. Ive got a big case coming up and ai was thinking you could come with me" Emma asked Henry

"A vacation with you? Im in" Henry said

"Good go pack your bags" Emma said and Henry ran upstairs to pack his bags

"Um Peter you should probably come with us, since you dont have parents. Im sorry that came out wrong. I just " I couldnt speak

" sure, Ill come with" Peter said and laughed.

"Good" I said

"So tell me about this person you miss?" Peter asked as he sat on the couch and patted a seat next to him. I sat down next to him

"He was brave, strong, powerful and smart" I spoke. He nodded

"Im sorry for you loss" He said taking my hand

"Me too" I said and he just pulled me into a hug. We kinda sat there for a second before I pulled away and sat up on the couch and turned on the tv. Not even 30 minutes had gone by and I had dozed off once or twice and Peter was fully asleep I was about to go back to sleep when I heard talking

"Shes gonna snap" Emma said

"Shes fine" My dad replied

"Oh really shes fine? Her father abandoned her at the age of 4. He mother adandoned her at birth. Shes doesnt really know all that much about her life except for the fake curse she was under with a family that still didnt give a crap about her. The only person who stuck by her and cared for her doesnt remember who she is." Emma said I knew they were talking about me. My father told me my mother was dead.

"What she doesnt know wont hurt her" my father said

"What she doesnt know is killing her. Why do you think when ther curse hit and you all went home, you ended up in the enchanted forest and she was back on neverland. Because being lost, being alone, that's home to her Killian and thats horrible" Emma said

"I cant tell her, it will ruin her" My father said. A tear slipped from my eye and I looked over at Peter fast asleep. All I wanted right now was to wish I was asleep. A blissful ignorance of reality. I layed down on the couch and squeezed my eyes shut hoping to fall asleep.
