Set Your Sails...to Neverland || Peter Pan, OUAT

Chapter 30 - A Twist and a Turn

~ Davina

I watch Pan manipulate the situation further as he tucks in a 'dying' Wendy into a make-shift bed. I have to give her her due, she's a good actress, but I suppose when your family member's lives are hanging over your head, it's not difficult. I lean against a tree, fighting the pain in my back and my hand as I listen to Pan twist and change the situation so Henry falls deeper into the lie, despite everything I told him.

"How is she?" Henry asks, genuinely concerned.

"I fear she's getting worse, Henry."

Oh really? and I roll my eyes.

"But if I save magic... She'll live?"

"Yes, but more than that, Henry, if you save magic, you'll save us all. But to do it, you have to truly believe," Pan continues.

Wendy coughs, and Henry looks down at her, "I do," he says.

"Good, because we don't have much time. Follow me," Pan says, and then walks back to camp with Henry following. I follow him with my eyes, "My brothers! Tonight, the dream of Neverland will awaken from its slumber. Tonight, the Heart of the Truest Believer shall fulfil its destiny, and with it, our destiny. Tonight, Henry saves magic!"

Oh dear Gods...and I think I strain a muscle I roll my eyes so hard the second time around.

The Lost Boys start cheering, and then all disperse around the camp. Pan and Henry merge with them, and I lose sight, and by the time I think I've spotted them, I'm left with the loud bunch.

"Bloody hell..." I mumble to myself and kick a rock.

Suddenly, there's a wave of purple magic that just misses me, and the Boys all collapse to the ground. I look up and see Emma, Regina, Snow White, Prince Charming, Hook, Rumplestiltskin and a blonde woman appear from various directions.

"Davina?" Regina says in shock.

"Hi, what are you doing here?" I reply.

"What are you doing here? Where's Pan? Where's Henry?" Emma says.

I'm about to answer but I'm cut off by a "Help!" which is Wendy's voice.

I follow Emma and see that she's in her cage. How did she...?

Wendy sees Emma and is in awe, "You're an...an adult."

"My name is Emma, I'm looking for my son," she greets and then Neal comes running out. He recognises her.

I listen to their conversation, and it clicks. Of course they would, they were both here when they were kids. I was here too. Neal must have had someone else to talk to before he escaped. He breaks open her cage and they hug. I zone out of their conversation and look at Rumplestiltskin, and there's something he's hiding. I can sense it. I snap back into reality, and we all come together in the camp.

"Hey, Wendy, since you've been here, have you seen my son? His name's Henry," Neal asks.

"You have a son?" Wendy replies.

"Yeah."

"Pan needs his heart. Has he said anything about the heart of the truest believer?" Emma interjects.

"No. I'm sorry. He never mentioned anything about a heart."

"She's lying. She can't tell you because Pan's holding the lives of her brothers against her," I chime in.

"What are you talking about Davina?" Regina asks.

"He's keeping her brothers alive as long as she does what he says."
