We are the Lost Girls (OUAT)

Chapter 4

~Flashback~

In a far away island, a girl sat in a wooden cage and she began to wonder how she got here. She tried to sniffle discreetly as unwanted tears began to well in her blue eyes. In her despair, the girl desperately hugged herself as a source of comfort. Her dreams to find a home was ruined, she felt lost. What am I going to do? I want to g- Spencer paused at the thought. She had nothing to return to.

"Are you okay?"

Startled by the sound the girl slammed her back onto one of the wooden cage sides. Did one of the lost boys come back? Why would they? Peter Pan exiled me to this cage. Spencer remained quiet as her eyes roamed in the darkness to find the source of the voice.

"I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to know if you were okay." The person's voice was gentle as if they were trying to calm down an upset baby.

"I-" Spencer's heart was beating wildly in her chest, it made it so hard for her to breathe.

The voice broke the silence once more, "It's okay to cry. I cried when I first got here too."

Enthralled by the gentle voice, Spencer found herself telling the mysterious voice all her troubles, "I thought the lost Boys would like me, Killian said they would. He told me to play a trick on Peter Pan and now, he doesn't want me to be here anymore. I just want to stay."

Spencer's curiosity got the better of her, "Why are you here? Why aren't you with the other lost boys?"

The voice let out a deep breath, "I'm not a lost boy, I'm a girl."

Spencer's eyes widen as the voice continued, "I came to Neverland to save my friend, but I got caught. I hope my brothers don't worry too much about me."

Spencer couldn't shake the dull feeling inside her head, things did not go as planned. All her life she had dreamed of coming to Neverland, but everyone told her Neverland wasn't real. They were wrong, Neverland was real but she couldn't be apart of it.

Finally gaining the courage, Spencer left the one side of the cage and moved closer to the voice. Through the bars of the cage, she saw a girl with green eyes staring back at her.

Despite the unshed tears in her eyes, Spencer managed to give the mysterious girl a shaky smile, "My name is Spencer."

The girl gave Spencer a smile that matched the radiance of the sun, "I'm Wendy."

~~End of Flashback~~~~

Spencer was relieved to be out of the echo caves, but as Tinker Bell glared at her she was suddenly wishing to go back.

All the adults looked at Tinker Bell in frustration, "You said you would help us get into Peter's camp."

Tinker Bell pointed a finger at Spencer, "That was before you brought that demon child with you."

Spencer crossed her arms while rolling her eyes in annoyance, "Oh, let it go Twinkle toes. You knew what you were getting into when you asked for Peter's help."

The fairy's face quickly turned red, "I didn't ask for him- no you to steal the last of my Pixie dust."

Spencer couldn't contain herself and retorted, "You should have learned by now to keep things precious to you close. It was your own foolish fault that you lost your oh so precious dust."

"Why you litt-", Tinker Bell lunged at the girl only to be held back by Hook.

Tinker Bell thrashed while screaming, "Where is my Pixie dust you little brat! I know you don't have enough belief to make yourself fly off this island."

"That's enough."

Everyone went silent as Regina commanded, "Spencer give her back her Pixie dust."

On their way to find Tinker Bell, they had run into Regina and Mr. Gold. A fight about a prophecy was long forgotten as soon as Tinker Bell recognized Spencer.

Spencer stared blankly at the adults, her eyes yelling out, "Are you kidding me?!" Why would I have dust?! This is just bogus!

Emma narrowed her eyes at Spencer, "You said you would help us get Henry back, now give her the Pixie dust so we can get moving."

Spencer looked down and clenched her fist while grumbling, "This is why Peter doesn't allow adults on Neverland."

Confusion fell upon the adults while Regina asked, "What did you say."

Spencer never had a temper problem, it was always Emma who got into fights at school but at this very moment, her temper was hanging by a thread.

With cheeks pulsing in a scarlet color she screamed, "I DON'T HAVE YOUR DUST!"

Spencer breathed heavily as everyone else looked shocked at her outburst. The day had finally taken its emotional toll on Spencer and she had enough.

"I don't have enough belief to use the Pixie dust, but the truest believer can use it. Peter wasn't just going to go on a whim that Henry looked like the drawing he had, he wanted to test him and the only way how was-"

Tinker Bell eyes hollowed out and she fell to her knees, "The Pixie dust."

Silence filled the air and Spencer finished with, "We have Pan's shadow and we have Pandoras Box, so stop being so afraid and help us."

The fairy nodded and Rumplestilskin let out a laugh, "I quite like this twin sister better than Emma."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the back of the trees, Spencer and the others watched as Tinker Bell entered the camp. Spencer had a bad feeling about this and it only grew when she noticed that Peter and Felix were missing. While the lost boys turned their backs to look at Tinker Bell, Regina quickly cast a spell that made them go to sleep.

Spencer put her arrow back into her quiver and sighed, "We're too late."

Her eyes scanned the lost boys and her heart felt heavy. She spotted Rory and ran her fingers through his hair. I have no right to feel guilty, I knew that by saving Henry I would be betraying the lost boys. There is no way to go back now.

"Help! Please Help!"

Emma ran after the voice and Spencer quickly followed. I know this way, I have walked it before. It can't b-

Spencer froze when a wooden cage came into view. A voice popped into her head I'm Wendy. She took a step back and bumped into Neal. The movement didn't phase the man and soon he was breaking open the cage with a smile on his face. Spencer quickly turned her back to the cage and shut her eyes.

"Spencer?"

She going to hate me. Why did I abandon her? Why did I leave my only friend behind? Pushing away her negative thoughts Spencer finally turned around and looked down in shame. Footsteps ran toward the girl and she prepared herself for the worst. I deserve it all was the only thought on her mind. A pair of feet came into her view and a lone tear fell on the pair of feet.

"Why are you crying?"

Spencer couldn't help but laugh. Everything about this situation felt so familiar but even though she was free from that wooden cage, she felt more trapped than ever before. Soon the laughs had morphed into sobs and her legs gave in. Why isn't she yelling? Spencer finally gained the courage to look up and finally faced Wendy.

"I so-"

A gasp escaped Spencer's lips as Wendy wrapped her arms around her. She's hugging me? The girl became more confused when she felt tears stain her shirt. Wendy pulled away from Spencer and gave a smile that held the same brightness as when they first met.

"I knew you'd come back."
