Identity- Once Upon A Time

Sadness at Sunrise

Lily awoke at dawn to find a sleeping Pan at her feet. Lily wanted to scream, but she muffled herself since she had the advantage.

What did he do to Henry? It must've been something awful! I could kill him right now if I wanted to, if I could find my sword.

Lily looked to her left and her trusty blade was a few yards away. Just before Henry was held hostage, she found a sleeping lost boy and she stole his sword on instinct. When she went back to camp and Henry was missing, she followed his footprints in the mud of the earth.

Lily slowly rose and snuck away to grab her sword. She picked it up by the bronze handle and cleaned off the leaves with her shirt, she wanted this to be a clean cut. She tiptoed over to the sleeping Pan and held the sword high in the air to chop his head off.

I can do this. I can do this. One. Two. Three!

She closed her eyes when she swung her sword down. The sword narrowly missed the sleeping boy, but it did graze his chin. The sword hit the ground with a loud "thunk" and woke the boy up.

Henry's eyes flew open in a panic.
"Lily? What are you doing?" Said Henry

Lily didn't reply, instead she spit in his face and held the sword high up again intending to make another blow. Henry rolled to the left to miss her attack. He jumped up and took several steps away from Lily.

"Lily, it's me, Henry!" He pleaded. Lily would have none of this as she was thirsty for blood and seeking revenge.

"Don't you dare disgrace his name you pig! You killed him didn't you? You killed him!" Lily tried to hold back tears as she tried to to jab Henry through the chest. Henry quickly disappeared and reappeared behind Lily using a spell he learned from Regina and held her arms up over her head. Lily was a cunning and dirty fighter, she kicked Henry with a sharp blow into the kneecap. Henry released her hands and fell to the ground. Lily held a sword against his cheek and cut the other side which had yet to be sliced.

"Pigs like you don't have the right to live." She said in a cruel tone

"You've got to believe me, I am Henry! I can prove it to you!" Henry reached for the locket in his back pocket which wasn't there anymore. He had to come up with something quick or Lily would run him through.

"You had your chance,"

Henry thought to himself "Why shouldn't she kill me right now? She thinks Pan killed me and she is prepared to kill him for it," Lily prepared to slice his neck as Henry muttered, "Hospital bed thirty six."

"What did you say?

"Hospital bed thirty six was where we first brought you after we found you in the woods."

"How is that in any way going to change my mind? You could have searched my memories just as easily to find that out. I don't even clearly remember that day!"

"But you didn't know that that was your hospital bed. Mary Margaret filled out all your paperwork and I remember looking at your clipboard. It said 'Patient Number 36. Name: Lily Origins: Unknown'. It was the only medical clipboard in the hospital with no information other than your name."

Lily's eyes widened, "How is that possible? You can't be him! It's not like you can just change your shape!"

"I made a deal with Pan to get your heart back, he was going to kill you if I didn't agree. I guess these were the conditions of the agreement..."

Lily lowered her sword and dropped it on the ground. She walked cautiously toward Henry in the form of Pan.

"Henry, it's really you! What did that fae do to you?" Lily knelt down next to Henry and hugged him in a tight embrace. She ran her fingers through his now dirty blond hair. She had the same feeling looking into his eyes as she did the first time they met. She stared into them for a few moments and Henry leaned in for a kiss. Lily leaned in too then pulled away quickly and broke the silence.

"Uhh, um, I guess operation Piggybank expanded its mission. Now we need to retrieve your body and my memories back!"

Henry pulled back awkwardly as well.
"Yeah, um, What have we got to lose anyway? We've both been stripped of our identities, so I saw wing it!"

Was I really about to kiss him? He's in the body of someone who kept me captive for weeks! I can't fall in love with Henry now, even if he did save me. Besides, that would change things between us and make it complicated. I have to keep myself vigilant and focus on the task at hand, getting both of our identities back!
