Lost but Always Found (OUAT fanfiction)

        Three weeks

        Three more weeks and we would arrive in Neverland. Three weeks to fix my mistakes and figure out my powers. I never wanted to be close with Hook. I couldn't call him Killian. It brought me too far back. But we became friends none the less.
        It started with an apology from both of us. "I didn't mean to get angry, I mean I know I've been rude to you this whole time, but I didn't know that you were trapped in this and-" "it's alright, it is I who should apologise." And then, a smile. Neither of us faked it. It just happened. Trust was next. He freed me from my shackles and let me roam the ship.

One week

       He showed me how to steer the ship. I laughed and smiled. I had lost track of time, yet I knew the good times were drawing to a close. Baelfire's words still followed me wherever I went. I missed him, but I pushed it away. Nothing to be done now.

        Hook and I stood on the deck, looking out at the sunset one evening. I was so lost in my own mind. "You're thinking about the lad, aren't you." My hair blew across my face as a tear slid down my face. "This isn't how i thought any of this would end," I almost whispered, "first it was Baelfire, and now it's you. I keep finding home, and moving away." I didn't turn my head until he put his arm around my shoulder. Leaning into him, my tears stopped falling. "I'll find a way to come back, if or when I'm free from him," he said quietly. I just nodded and walked away to watch the other side of the sky grow dark.

One day

Tomorrow we would arrive in Neverland. Everything​ would fall apart. But I would survive, for hook, for Baelfire. I wanted so badly to see where he was, yet it was too painful. I would not allow myself to be used as a weapon by pan. Whatever happened there, I would live through it. Or I'd die trying.
