The Girl With a Rose on Her Forehead -Once Upon a Time Fanfiction-

Season 3: Episode 9: Save Henry

"HENRY!" Peter felt the power run through his veins as he was lifted into the air with the new magic given to him by Henry's heart. He grabbed onto Azalea and she held onto him as they both were lifted up. Azalea watched as Emma, Neal, and Regina ran over to the unconscious boy and shook him, checking his breathing. "What the hell did you to do him?!" Emma shouted standing up and facing Peter and Azalea. "Oh I didn't do anything Emma, it was Henry." Pan said as he slowly floated back down to stand on the ground, Azalea never moving from his side. He needed to make sure the flower girl stayed close to him in case he needed a human shield. "He offered up his heart of his own free will." Pan said as Emma pulled her sword out and directed it at him. "And I'm going to take it back." She said with fire in her eyes. Before she could swing Azalea waved her hand and both of them went away in a blink of an eye, reappearing behind all of them where Pan had left Pandora's box. "I don't think you have it in you, Rumple didn't." Pan said as Azalea picked up the box. "Where is he?" Emma asked, pointing the sword at Pan, but not daring to strike in risk of hurting Azalea. "He is in this box, safe and sound and out of the way." Peter said. "Unfortunately he can't hurt me anymore, and neither can you all." He said as he again floated into the air, taking Azalea and Pandora's box with him as he flew into the air. Away from them.

"If Gold is in Pandora's box then David can never leave Neverland." Mary said as Neal put Henry onto a bed at the lost boys camp. "Mary that doesn't matter, I have already made peace with that. What matters is Henry and Azalea right now." David said, looking over Henry as he lay on the bed. "I am unfamiliar with the magic here...I would say Henry has an hour at best." Regina said, tears in her eyes. "If Pan is airborne he can be anywhere on the island." Neal said. "An hour isn't much time I suggest we start looking." Hook said from the back of the group. Regina stood up and walked over to Felix, who was tied to one of the trees. "where is he?" She asked, grabbing him by the clothes and pulling them face to face. "It doesn't matter. Pan has already won." Felix said with a grin. "Pan never fails." Regina frowned. "We will see about that." She said. "Wait a second." I said walking up to her, stopping her attack on Felix before it could happen. "I think I can talk to them." I whispered. I was going to try to talk to these boys, Pan was right about one thing. I was like them, and hopefully that likeness would save Henry and Azalea.

I felt my heart beating fast. It was like my body was moving without my permission. I felt like I was in a fog. What was happening? Where was Henry? Mary and David? Everything is so blurry. "You alright?" Peter asked looking over at me as I blinked at him. "Yes." I said, holding Pandora's box tightly in my hands. Why did I feel so guilty? Pan walked over to me and looked over my flower crown. "Darn, the spell is weakening again...I will have to fix that later-you should stay under my control long enough to get rid of those pesky adults." He said looking me in the eye. I felt something tug in my chest, like I wanted to say no...but I couldn't. "Yes, anything for you Peter." I said. "Good, now hold that box as close to you as possible. No one can get their hands on it." He commanded. I held the box to my chest. "Of course." I said before we walked into the woods.

"The Pixie woods?" Regina asked, I was able to get most of the lost boys to tell us where Peter was in exchange for letting them come back home with us. "It's where the pixie dust used to grow." one of the lost boys confirmed. "Do you know where that is?" I asked Hook and Neal. "aya, the whole region is deserted now. No one but Pan has set foot in those woods for centuries." Hook said. "Then let's go make history." Neal said. "I'm going to need you here, once we get Azalea and Henry's heart back it's going to be a race back to the boat. We're going to need help on both ends." I said, he agreed. "What do you need from us?" David asked. "Let's gather the lost boys and get the aboard the Jolly Rodger." Neal told him. "Okay so Regina and I will go to where Pan is and-" Mary stepped up. "I'm going with you...if you think that I'm going to sit back while you rescue my grandson and daughter, your wrong...plus this may be the last bit of time I get to spend with you." Mary said to me. "Okay. Let's do it." I said, grabbing my sword.
