Lost but Always Found (OUAT fanfiction)

9

        It was mid day, but there had been no sign of Pan. I had seen Bae in a dream. He was still so distant and alone. Even as I shouted his name, there was no reply. Just silence.
       I was below deck and stars blanketed the sky when a thud could be heard from above. I sighed, but my heart beat only increased. The door opened slowly. At first I expected  Hook, but I soon realized​ it was someone much worse. Felix. Again, my gift assisted in identifying the stranger. Two other lost boys stood behind him. "Bring her to the boat." Before I could even speak, their was a firm grip on both of my arms. I didn't struggle or shout, for there was no point. It would only make things worse.
        Only a glimpse of Hook was caught by my currently blurry vision. It was enough for me to see what little sadness existed in his heart. I was shoved off the ship and into a small boat. I could see the island in the distance. My hands were bound behind me and a bag went over my head. For the first time I was truly afraid of what lied ahead.

Be strong

        I stumbled onto dry land, the grains of sand rough between my toes. The burlap was ripped off my head and I could see fire burning in the distance. The firm hold around my arms was resumed but still no one spoke. I didn't dare say a word, for I had no clue what the boys were capable of.
        The lights grew closer and closer until they were right before my eyes. No one was around except one boy, standing with his back to me and the bonfire.

Pan

He turned to face me, but I refused to look afraid. I squared my shoulders despite the hands holding them down tightly. Soon he was looking straight into my eyes. Looking down on me. I didn't submit to his stare. "What do you want from me?" I almost growled. He laughed his devilish laugh before stepping closer. I could feel his breath on my face. "That is none of your concern," he said clearly and with confidence as I was pushed to my knees, " you will do as I say, or suffer the consequences." I glared up at him and tried to force my back into an upward position. "And what are these consequences you speak so highly of?" I said with venom is my voice. With a snap of his fingers Felix walked beside me and kicked me in the side with his boot. I didn't verbally react, but I slouched and turned my head away. "Tie her there for the night," he said as I was dragged to a tree. It was like I was being tied to the mast again, my arms on either side of me, unable to move.
        I immediately sank to the ground when all eyes were out of sight. I could feel a bruise forming on my side. My mind was filled with confusion as it tried to sort out the events from today. I had to find a way out of here. I could feel the rough texture on the back of the tree.
        After waiting a few hours into the night, I began to move the rope back and forth with my arms until it snapped. Without a moment to spare I snuck into the forest. It had been only a few minutes when I heard his voice. "Breaking the rules I see." I bolted as fast as I could without looking back, but I was tripped by...
        "You can't get away that easily." I lied on the ground, trying to catch my breath, but Pan grabbed the back of my shirt and threw me against a tree. I could feel the air being knocked out of me. I coughed a few times and regained my balance. He stood only a few feet from me. "I warned you, but children just never listen," he said with a laugh, "now, I'm going to... Let you off easy." Something about his grin told me it wasn't going to be pleasant. Taking me by surprise, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and once again Felix stood behind me. I tried to pull away only to be met with a fist to the ribcage. Stumbling backwards, my feet dug themselves into the soft earth. I could Pan watching from a tree. I refused to fall.
        I brought my fist up to Felix's face, but he was to fast. As he Grabbed  my wrist and twisted behind my back, I could feel tears threatening to escape. I would not be defeated. I used my other hand to push him back, only sparing me a few seconds. "Fire, I like fire," I could hear pan snicker from behind me. Before I could even think, Felix threw his fist into my face, knocking me to the ground. I refused to stay on the ground. I attempted to stand, only to feel a boot crush down on my bad arm. One more try. Keep going. For Bae.
        Ripping my arm away, I attempted to push myself up. Almost there. But then a heel dug into my side. I gave up and hid my face beneath my arms. Only a few tears had fallen, but it was enough to show weakness. I couldn't move. I could barely breathe. Vision blurred, I could feel myself being lifted before blacking out.
