Her Weakness✔

Chapter 3

Peter Pan's Curse

Sebastian had left the diner without a single word to the waitress. He didn't know what she wanted from him, and he was fairly too afraid to ask.

As soon as he got the second order of food he had asked for, he packed it away and left the diner. The wind was harsh against Bash as he stepped out into the cold Canadian air but he simply pulled his coat closer to himself and began his long quest once again.

Bash's walk was filled with speed, and he didn't have a desire to stop. But a call from behind him was heard and he knew it was the girl from the diner. Sebastian stopped and turned to see her quickly jogging towards him and he mentally groaned, for she was wasting his time. She caught up to him and smiled. They both stood in an awkward silence until Bash decided to speak.

"Can I help you?" He asked, a little too rough. The girl simply blushed and looked down to her hands before sticking one out for him to shake. Sebastian was left confused.

"My name's Lily." She said sweetly, with a slight bounce in her voice. Her hand was still out, and Sebastian decided to prove he had manners. He gently grabbed her hand and gave it a small kiss on the back. It caused the poor young girl to blush furiously and she fumbled with her words as he spoke.

"Sebastian, love. A pleasure to meet you but I must be on my way." Bash said and began walking away, leaving the flustered girl behind.

"Wait!" Sebastian gave another groan when she caught up. She was persistent, he'll give her that.

"I was wondering if you-"

"Listen, Lily, I have somewhere to be and this is really wasting my time." Sebastian said and began walking again. This time Lily walked with him, by his side.

"Where are you going?" She asked and Sebastian narrowed his eyes. He came to a bus stop and sat on the bench.

"So many questions, you're a nosy one aren't ya? But if you must know, I'm heading to the North Pole." He answered smoothly before pulling his map out and examining it, now completely ignoring the girl before him. Lily had a confused look but didn't question his reasons.

"Can I tag along?" She asked and it interrupted his concentration. He looked up with surprise.

He turned to her and looked her over. She had her work clothes on. Some dark jeans, a black shirt on with a name tag on. Her long black hair in a pony tail, her dark eyes followed his every movement.

Her bubbly personality kinda sickened Sebastian.

She was pretty, Bash was sure of it, but why would this... stranger want to go with him to a place he knew most non-magical folk believed was fictional. Heck, if he told her where he was from, she would laugh right in his face, or take off running in the opposite direction and call him crazy.

But the fact that she wanted to go got the Lost Boy's attention.

"I'm a stranger. A complete stranger to you. Why would you want to travel with me? Why would you even want to go to the North Pole?" Sebastian asked and Lily smiled shyly while giving a shrug.

"I have always wanted to go on an adventure. Ya know, be spontaneous!" Lily exclaimed happily, and when she saw Bash's confused face, she calmed herself down, and talked with a more peaceful voice.

"I have no reason to stay here. This job... It's a job I only have in order to pay for my apartment. I have always wanted travel but I never have because I don't want to do it alone."

"Where are your parents?"

"I don't have parents." She simply responded and Sebastian decided not to push it.

"Fine. On one condition."

"Anything!"

"Can I crash at your apartment?"

Lily agreed. She and Bash walked to her apartment, which wasn't far from where they were. She lived on the third floor. When Lily opened the door, Sebastian actually liked this girl's taste in decoration for her apartment. It was a quaint place, and he was glad it was warmer in her home than it was outside.

After Lily made a pot of hot cocoa, the two decided that if they were going to travel together for some time, they should get to know each other. And they did just that.

Sebastian found out the girl was only a year younger than him, 17. She had been living on her own since she was sixteen. She actually did have parents, but they were business people, often leaving their daughter alone. It got to the point where Lily left her home, and with the money her rich family had, she got her own apartment and a job at a nearby diner.

Sebastian didn't tell her about Neverland. And she didn't question why he was heading to the North Pole. She didn't really care.

But he did tell her that his parents were long dead, and that he lived with a couple of his friends.

"I will tell you this, I'm searching for someone." Bash said and Lily handed the boy a second mug of hot cocoa. She sat across from him on the carpet, and sipped on her own cup.

"Who? Do tell." She mumbled and Sebastian shook his head.

"It's just a favor for a friend."

"Are you a hit man?" Lily asked seriously.

"What? No." Sebastian snapped and placed the empty mug on the coffee table in front of him. He cleared his throat before he stood up and looked at Lily.

"Get sleep. Pack some stuff if you need to. We leave tomorrow early morning." Sebastian ordered and walked over to the couch, his bed for the night. He laid down and Lily handed him a blanket.

"Good night."

Storybrooke was a place many believed was the town for a fresh start. Hence why Peter Pan specifically chose that place for New Neverland. He soon came to realize it was all a mistake, and that although Storybrooke had cool stuff like something they called the Internet and Wi-Fi, he missed his old island. Although he didn't feel it at the moment, he was relieved when Felix forced him to go back to Neverland.

When Pan did leave the island, everyone in the small town of Maine rebuilt what they had lost during Pan's reign of terror. It had been difficult, but they soon got their lives back.

For like a second.

There was another reason Pan was actually willing to leave.

He had activated a curse.

A curse to once again separate the pathetic Charming's that had taken his love away from him. It was a curse he had created when Evelina was taken from him. The curse was set to go off when everything was perfect in the townspeople's lives. Pan wanted them to feel the pain he felt when he got separated from someone he truly cared about.

So he sent Emma and her son, Henry, to New York, where they lived a life as if magic doesn't exist, and as if Emma had never given Henry up for adoption. As for the Charming's (and Regina) that Pan hated so much, he sent them and the rest of the citizens back to the Enchanted Forest.

And he made sure a little surprise was waiting for them when they arrived.

And Pan was sure his surprise was going to cause drastic chaos for both Regina and the Charming's.

He simply couldn't wait to ruin their lives.
