Chapter 6

Raevanna walks into her father's office. "Ah, you've met my daughter, haven't you, dearies?" Rumple questions as he walks over to his bookshelf again. Raevanna and Larissa nod. "Well, she'll be taking you to the castle." Rumple says, handing Raevanna the map. "Good luck." he winks as he walks us out.

The door slams as we stand there. After a few moments I turn to Raevanna. "Did your father just kick us out?" I question as she nods, walking down the little hill.

"Yeah, he would usually do that. I don't have many friends, no one would accept me because their parents think that I was a threat, you know, being that Dark One's daughter and all." She shrugs. "I never really had a friend, but I like to be alone. To think, practice magic, read. Anything really."

A thought flashes into my mind. "Have you ever read about Peter Pan?" I ask as we stop, Raevanna glancing at the map.

"Yeah, I have. If you ever encounter him, never do anything he says. He's a bloody demon, nothing more, nothing less." She shakes her head.

I just look at Larissa sympathetically. She rolls her eyes and points to me. "Aeris here just so happens to be his daughter."

Raevanna's mouth drops open. "Daughter? And I thought you reacted more surprised when I told you I was the Dark One's daughter." She chuckles and then looks confused. "How did Pan have a child?"

"Same way every couple does." Larissa sarcastically says.

I roll my eyes. "Ignore her. I keep having these re-occoring dreams of a boy and a girl who apparently gave up a baby. I can feel the girl's pain. They both said my name. And the weird thing is that i'm not the only one who has these dreams." I reveal to Raevanna as she puts her hands on her hips, taking this all in.

"Who is the girl?" Raevanna asks.

"Dani Jones." I answer.

"Dani Jones and Peter Pan... hm..." Raevanna trails off.

Larissa points back to the map. "Can we get going?" She groans, clearly bored by all of this since she knows all of this already.

Raevanna nods. "This way." She starts to walk as Larissa and I trail behind her.

The woods were dark, no light emerging from behind the tree tops. I don't know where we are, but luckily Raevanna knows these woods well. I think about Dani and Peter again for the tenth millionth time, still trying to figure out the unanswered questions that were eating me up inside to know why they gave me up, more so to even know if they are alive. If they are, where are they? And why haven't they come for me?

Raevanna stops. "We're here." I look down at the map, then looking up to see a giant castle right in front of me.

"Glad you could make it." A voice says from the darkness, causing me to jump. The twins walk towards us with weapons in their hands. I couldn't tell who said that, but my guess is that it was James, being mister smartass.

Adam throws Larissa a bow and sone arrows, and I a sword. I groan a bit, knowing that I can handle a bow and arrow pretty well, but I know that that's one thing Larissa could do better than me. I catch the sword by the handle, pulling the sharp object out of it's stealth. I examine the metal, looking at my reflection. What did Dani Jones look like? I wondered, squinting to see in the little light.

James innterups my thoughts, trying to hand Raevanna a sword. "Who are you?" He snaps at her.

"Don't get like that with me, and I don't need that. I can defend myself." Raevanna pushes the sword away, holding her palm out, a flame levitating inches above her palm, coming out of nowhere. "I'm Raevanna. Rumplestitlskin is my father. He taught me magic."

James, who knows little magic from what I've heard, steps back. "Alright," he simply nods.

"Let's go people!" Larissa groans as she begins to walk into the castle with no problem. The four of us shrug and follow her.

The first thing I saw in that "castle" dusty furniture everywhere. I turn to Raevanna. "Are you sure this is the right place?" I question, coughing at all of the dust.

"Yes," She answers in between coughs.

Adam groans. "Let's get out of here!" He turns to leave, but stops as he realizes no one is following him. Raevanna and James begin to argue as I bicker with Adam.

"Guys," Larissa's voice is not heard by our fighting.

I turn to Larissa. "Not now!" I snap, beginning to argue with Adam.

"GUYS!" Larissa shouts, all of us turning to her direction. She stands frozen as an other woman stands in front of her, a green, glowing necklace around her neck. Adam and James whip their weapons out, threating to strike the woman.

And before our eyes can take in what was happening, the woman's green necklace was gone, along with the woman, who turned into a massive dragon.

We're screwed.

All five of us scattered upon seeing the woman turn into a god damn dragon. Who turns into a dragon?

The Dragon's mouth opens, causing streaming, bright fire to already burn half of the castle. It hisses, glaring at each of us with it's glowing yellow eyes.

I duck behind a pillar, watching Adam, Raevanna, and James run on both sides of the dragon. The beast is distracted by Larissa, who stands frozen. Damn it, Aeris, do something! I think, suddenly rushing from behind the dragon.

"Hey bitch! I'm over here!" I shout, causing the dragon to turn around, it's yellow eyes glaring at me. Yes! It worked! But the only problem was, the dragon was charging straight towards me.

Before I could move, strong arms pushed me away, forcing his hands out to somehow freeze the dragon.

I take a deep breath and look up to see James, blocking off the Dragon with jus glowing palms, of his magic.

"Don't try to make yourself into a meal again, got it?" He said harshly.

"We got it! Let's get out of here!" Adam shouts as I run out, Larissa and Raevanna running out after me.

"Now go!" James yells as I run out of the castle, glancing back for James.

We all ran into the forest, and stopped in the middle of a clearing. Adam just groaned. He wasn't in the mood right now, I could tell. A little ways outside of the castle, Adam and James try to build us a fire with sticks and stones.

Raevanna shakes her head. "No need for that." She says, lighting the fire with her hands.

We sit down and just stare at the flames. It was silent for a moment. I was shivering from the cold weather. I could feel a pair of eyes glance in my direction. Immediately, I knew it was Adam.

And I knew he was keeping something from me.
