The Son Of Alice || A Once Upon A Time Story

Don't Look Back

After school today, on my walk home, I found something, I took a moment to look at it as I knelt down to it on the ground. It was one of those talkie ring ring device thingies. I picked it up and unlocked it. It was black and didn't seem old. At home after doing my homework I found out how to call and text and most other basic things. I thought about Kenzie for a while but then for a moment I almost forgot.

I didn't have my heart inside me...

It was still in Neverland, if I was going to love her fully and truly, I had to retrieve it! I texted her.

Me: I won't be at school tomorrow

Mackenzie♥️: Why?

Me: I have something I need to do, please don't come looking for me.

Mackenzie♥️: What is it, Alexander? What do you need to do?

Me: ...........

Mackenzie♥️: Alex? Hello?

I didn't answer her, I couldn't tell her because I didn't want her coming with me and getting hurt. About ten minutes later I managed to steal a magic bean from Mr. Gold's shop and I stood at the Oceanside. I threw the bean into the water as I thought of Neverland. "Alex, what are you doing?!" I heard a voice behind me. It was the Savior, Emma Swan, with Kenize running towards me close behind her.

"Don't come any closer! I have to do this on my own." I said, raising my hand in a 'Stop' motion. "Alex, please don't go. I love you." Kenzie said, near tears. "I love you too, but I want to love you fully, with my heart back." I said "Wait, you don't have your heart?!" Emma said. "No, and I'm going to get it back." I said. I turned around and jumped into the portal.

I appeared in the water close to the shore. Mackenzie appeared next to me soon after. "Aghhh! I can't swim." She yelped. I quickly swam to save her and made sure her head was above water. I swam her to the shore and made sure she was ok. Emma was already there. I kissed Kenzie "What did I miss?" Emma said, making a face.

"Are you alright, princess?" I asked "I am, thanks to you my prince." She said. I held her hand and pulled her up with ease. "Where are we?" She asked "A dreadful place... called Neverland." I told her as the three of us looked at the woods. "Why did you follow me?" I said. "You know it was stupid of you to jump through the portal in the first place right?" The Savior said, walking towards the jungle.

"And maybe we're just as stupid as you." Kenzie said, smiling at me. I smiled back at her. We held hands, entering the woods.

"So where exactly is this heart of yours?" Emma asked "Skull Rock, I was a lost boy so I know my way around the island." I said and pointed "It's this way." I continued "You were a lost boy?" Kenzie asked "I was." I said and looked at her "I just get to know you better every day." She said.
We all kept walking a while and passed a large boulder. Once it was behind us, we heard a voice from on top of it.

"And where is it that you tourists are going?" We turned around.

It was Petra Pan

She laid flat on her stomach atop the boulder. "Get behind me." Emma said. "No." I told her. "We're here to get my heart and then we're leaving Petra!" I shouted and she appeared in front of us "Don't patronize me, lost boy." She said sarcastically. She then lifted me with her magic and held me by my neck against a tree.

Emma acted quickly and tackled Petra which made me fall to my knees. "RUN!!" She yelled. Kenzie grabbed my hand and began running through the woods with me. I didn't look back.
