The next day we met with Regina to see if she could do a spell to clean everything up in the castle while Charming, Snow, and I went for a ride. We knew it wouldn't take that long since Regina staid with us last night since it was too late for her to go to her castle. She agreed to it since she was the one that kind of started the mess but after that she was going to go to her castle and see what was left there. We all agreed as we went to the stables where the horses were.

Once the horses were ready and we got on them we decided to just ride close to the castle and not go into the woods. We rode off and rode around for a little bit before reaching close to the woods and stopped as flashbacks came over me. I sat on the horse, watching the woods as Snow and Charming rode up to me “is everything okay” “ya, I just want to go back home” I said. “Okay, come on” Charming said to me.

We rode back to the castle and walked inside, everything was cleaned up again and everything was decorated for the ball. “Wow, this place looks amazing” Snow said as Regina walked up to us “well my work here is done, I have to be on my way” Regina said. “Well why don't you take one of the horses, it will be easier to get there” my father said “no need for that” Regina said with a smile. She waved her hand around her and she disappeared in a dark smoke.

“Well I guess that works too” Charming said and we all laughed “well I guess we should let everyone know about the ball” Snow said as I looked around. “Its everything okay sweaty” Snow asked me “ya I think I dropped my necklace when we were riding” I said. “I'm going to go out and look for it” I said about to walk out of the castle “what no you're not, one of the guards can look for it” my father said.

“Dad I'll be fine, I won't go into the woods I promise” I said and quick ran off with my vampire speed before anyone could argue with me. “She really is like you” Snow said to Charming with a smile. I walked around looking at the ground trying to find the necklace that Pan gave me when I first met him. I still couldn't find it until I finally saw something colorful in the tall grass and grabbed my necklace, putting it on. As I looked up I saw a black and pink book bag hanging in a tree at the edge of the woods. I looked at it confused as I walked over to it.

I looked up at the pink and black book bag and looked around for a stick or a rock to throw at it to get it down. I finally found a long branch and aimed right, throwing the stick and catching the bag in my hands as it fell to the ground. I knelt to the ground and unzipped the bag, looking inside to see a black dress and shows. The same one Pan gave me back at Neverland. I polled out the dress and looked at it for a second before looking forward and thinking about a plain.

I quickly zipped the book bag up and carried it as I was about to walk back to the woods until I heard a noise like a yell and looked up to see, a flying monkey? “What in the world” I started to say as the monkey noticed me and swooped down towards me. I quickly turned around and ran vampire speed back to the castle. The thing was fast but I knew I was faster if I needed to be, but I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't realize I was slowing down and the monkey grabbed my arms, lifting me up in the air.

I tried my best to struggle out of its grip as it started to fly away from the castle. I knew I had to think of something and fast before I was too far away from the castle. Luckily an idea came to my head before I was too far off and grabbed the legs of the monkey and broke them. It screamed out in pain and let me go as I fell back towards the ground, hitting it hard with a thud. Surprisingly I still had my book bag with me and stood up still holding the book bag in my hands. I felt a sharp pain hit my side but ignored it as I looked back up at the sky as the monkey flew off.

I quickly stood up and ran fast back to the castle. I busted through the doors as my dress was ripped in different places with dirt covering me and the dress, and my hair was a mess. Charming and Snow quickly turned around as I ran over to them “what happened” my dad asked me. “This flying monkey, it came after me, it flew off towards Regina's castle” I said as my father stood in front of me. Charming quick went over to some guards as Snow stood in front of me “Snow I need to talk to you for a minute” I said to her as she looked at me a bit confused.

“Okay come on” Snow said as we went up to my room and we sat on my bed as I held my book bag in my hand. “What's that” Snow asked me referring to the black and pink book bag in my hands. “Its old memories; I found something out yesterday” I said to Snow not looking at her. “What is it” “yesterday I found out that Pan, Peter Pan was still alive and was here, in the Enchanted Forest. This lady, she looked like, she looked like the Wicked Witch, from Kansas” I said telling her what happened last night.

“Anyway Pan is trapped in there and he needs me to get him out, I know all of this because I went last night and saw him in a castle”. “What castle” Snow asked me “I don't know, from what I saw of it, it looked like Regina's castle” I said looking at Snow finally. “Listen I have to go back there and get Pan out” I said almost begging to Snow “I'll be safe and fine, but I have to go, soon” I told Snow as she thought for a minuet “Star that's not a good idea” Snow started “listen, I'm a vampire, I can't die so I'm the only one that can go in there, get Pan, and bring him out alive”.

Snow thought “you know Charming will never allow it, he carries too much about you” Snow said making a point. “I know but I have to, please, he doesn't have to know, you can say that I went to go see Regina or something” I said as Snow looked at me “please Snow”. Snow looked at me as I was silent for a second “I love him” I whispered as she sighed “fine, tomorrow you can go but you have to be back before sundown”. “I'll go tonight” I said “no, you have to go tonight” “if I leave tonight I'll tell dad that I'll be spending the night at Regina's, she owes me anyway” I whispered the last part.

“Fine, go, I'll tell your father that you left, but be quick about it” Snow said standing up and leaving, closing the door behind her. I sighed and opened my book bag up again, staring at the clothes inside. I put on the black dress that met at the top of my neck and ended at my knees where it did a zigzag like fire. I put on the black slacks and shoes that were with it, putting my hair up in a ponytail as well, and putting on the black gloves that shows my fingers.

I walked outside on my balcony and put my hands on the edge of it, taking a deep breath. “Please don't let me die” I whispered to my self with a smile and jumped off, falling to the ground and landing on it with a thud before running into the woods.
