Return to Pan (Book 2)

chapter 15: Kidnapped

Flashback-

- 1 year ago, in the enchanted forest -

Ella's POV

I woke up with a bruised head and a stomach ache. The last thing I could remember was getting into a fight with Madi and getting knocked out. I tried to get up but found, much to my disappointment, that my hands were bound behind my back. I took in  my surroundings. I was in a stone castle, sitting in a chair on the end of a long table with a chair on the other side. There was a cabinet to my left containing many strange and wonderful objects such as antique teacups, glass mirrors and a couple of other items.

I tried again to get free from my binding but it seemed that every time I tried to get free, the ropes would become tighter.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" came a voice. It was definitely a male, I could tell because of the pitch. It was too low for a girl.

"Well then, I'm lucky I'm not you, aren't I?" I retorted, being the little spitfire I am.

"Oh" the voice giggled, "We have a feisty one"

I was agitated and annoyed. "Who are you and what do you want with me?!"

The figure walked into the light. I inspected his features carefully and sighed. With his gold sparkled skin and high pitched laugh, I could easily recognise the dark one.

"Hello Rumpelstiltskin"

He bowed and stood up straight again.

I nodded. "I'd bow, but I'm a little tied up right now" I joked.

"I like it that way" he replied.

"Of course" I smirked, "And, with all due respect, as much as I love your company, I really just want to know what I am doing here"

"Your here because I brought you" came a second voice. This one was different, lighter, more feminine. I recognised it immediately.

"You can come out know Madi"

Madi stepped out of the shadows. I had to really admire her beauty. With her soft blond strands circling her head and her piercing blue eyes, she really was stunning.

"Why am I here?" I growled.

Rumple kneeled down at my level and laughed. "I need you to do something for me"

"And why would I do anything for you?" I asked.

"Because..." Rumple started.

Then I felt a tingling, but painful sensation in my chest as Rumple ripped out my heart. I groaned and buckled over in pain as Rumple released his hand, a glowing, red orb in his hand. Then it struck me... it was my heart! Rumpelstiltskin was holding my heart.

"That's why"

I nodded slowly. "What do you want me to do?"

He chuckled."I need you to kill Peter Pan!"
