Life As a Lost Girl {Editing}

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I know it may not seem hard to find a secret passageway, but when it comes to having 7 people following you and depending on your every move, it's just a little bit harder. I sniffled a little as we approached the entrance and pulled on a torch, revealing it's secrets. I entered the tunnel, holding the now lit torch to give us light, and walked down. We ended up behind the big waterfall that everybody loves to visit. I kicked a rock and the ladder appeared and the others followed me down the ladder. We hid behind a bush as Pan spoke with the Lost Boys.

"...All right boys, we have to come up with a plan to defeat Bae and his crew."

"It's Neal, actually." I said, startling them, with my arms crossed over my chest, a knife in my hand. The others basically formed a triangle behind me and had stern expressions.

"Lexi...."

"Don't even try to reason with me, Pan. I'm done listening to your sob story. Now it's time for you to hear mine." Snow shot her arrows at the Lost Boys, not to actually hit them but to spook them a little bit. They all ran off except for Pan who was smirking.
"I don't know what you're so smug about, Pan. Your army just ran off when my entire team is still here." His smirk faltered for one second and I caught it. I stepped towards him and uncrossed my arms. Pan stepped towards me and I circled him.
"What will you do now? Nobody is here to back you up." Suddenly a shout came from above and Felix jumped down.

I stepped back as he tried landing on me. "Snow, shoot-" but she did not need any directions, she was already shooting at the Lost Boys in the trees. Rumplestilskin and Regina were already to use their magic, Emma was ready to do whatever she had to do and Neal, well.... I'm not even sure what he was doing, slowly backing away from the group. I decided not to give it a second thought, I mean, he knew what he was doing, right?

Felix and Pan smirked at me and I kicked Felix to the ground, and kept a foot on his chest while having a knife at Pan's neck.

"Well done, deary." Rumplestilskin said from behind me and I just nodded and thanked him. Hook brought me rope and Emma helped me tie the two boys to a tree.

"Lexi, you don't know what you're-"

"She knows well enough, Pan," Emma cut in.

I thanked her and put kraken ink on two leaves and put a leaf on each boy, momentarily paralyzing them. I smirked and walked away and then we heard yelling from above again. Charming and Neal were in the trees, pushing any Lost Boys that would come near them into nets. I laughed as the nets closed around each individual person so each boy was wrapped in a net and was unable to move. They jumped down from the trees and I started picking up weapons from the boys in the nets. Pan and Felix were now unfrozen and both were keeping calm. Somehow, they were suddenly out of the ropes but Neal snuck up behind them. He hit both in the back of the head in one swing. I smiled at him and tied them up again, only their wrists this time.

I couldn't bring myself to touch Pan or Felix to see if they were even alive. I closed my eyes and turned my face away from them. My lips formed a thin line and I felt everybody's eyes on me. I shut my eyes tighter, trying to force myself to move, back away from the limp bodies that I was kneeling in front of me. I reached out slowly, lightly grazing two fingers over Pan's neck, and sure enough, I felt a pulse. I tried Felix next. He was fine too.

"Chairs," I said. "We need chairs."

"Done," Rumple said and I nodded to thank him.

Neal and Charming helped me put the two boys on separate chairs and tied them up again. I quickly looked around to see if there was any arsenal that they could possibly use to escape. I checked Pan's pockets for daggers and took the one out of his belt, then I made sure Felix didn't have any weapons, taking away his dager, bow and arrows... whatever he could possibly use to find a way to escape.
