"Why can't I just use magic" Regina says irritated.
"Because that's what Pan expects us to do" Charming does have a point there.
It's been over an hour we've been trying to work the blank map Pan gave Emma last night.
Pan's POV
"Listen up boys!" The boys all stop what their doing and turn to look at me.
"Our guests have broken the rules, and we all know what happens to cheaters". Some of the boys sniggered which causes me to smirk.
"Tonight we fight but listen up. They have a girl with them. No one is to kill her. I want you to bring her to me. If you do kill her, you will suffer the consequences. Understood". I give the boys a menacing look.
"Yes Pan" They say.
"Good. Now, let's play!"
Amelia's POV
We've been walking for what seams like hours when we finally reach a clearing. There's tents and fire pits and other things all over but none of the lost boys are here.
It's a trap, I think.
Up the hill, there's the silhouette of a young boy.
"HENRY!!" Emma yells running towards the boy.
The boy turns around and as soon as I see his face my heart stops.
"Hi Emma" Pan smirks. He looks at me and our eyes lock. His smirk just gets bigger.
"Where the hell is Henry?!"
"You broke the rules. That's not fair. Bad form, I expected more from you Captain"
"And you'll get it!" Hook hisses.
The realization that what everybody has been telling me is true hits me hard. This is not the Peter I fell in love with once upon a time. This Peter is evil and mischievous. And it's all my fault.
"Give Henry to me!" Emma's growing tired of his games and so am I.
"Sorry can't" Pan says not looking one bit sorry. "Don't you know. Cheaters never win".
And with that a bunch of lost boys come out from the woods surrounding us. Peter flashes me a smirk. Through the crowd of boys I see many familiar faces. But standing almost directly in front of me is Felix. His right hand man.
"Watch out for their arrows. Their laced with Dreamshade". I already knew that but thanks for the heads up Charming.
After he said that, the attack began.
"Lia here!" Hook tosses me a sword. Just in time too cause a lost boy was coming at me.
The sound that fills the air is the impact of metal on metal and shouts. The boy swings his sword at me but I deflect it with my own. Then I attack and cut his arm. He gives me a dirty look and I feel a smirk creeping on my lips.
Suddenly I'm knocked to the ground by some lost boy I never saw. He pins me to the ground while the one I was just fighting tries to tie my hands together. I wiggle under the boy holding me down and kick him where the sun don't shine and punch the other one in the face. He falls to the ground unconscious.
I look at the other boy and see him doubled over in pain. Take that you bastard. A whistle sounds in the night and all the lost boys go back to Pan.
He looks over at me with an amused look on his face.
"That map will show you where Henry is as soon as you stop denying who you really are" he says to Emma. With one last glance at me, they all run back in the woods.
"Well that was fun" I say sarcastically. Regina shoots me a death look. With that we all make camp.

Nighttime
For some reason, looking at the flames of a fire always calms me down. I guess you could say that's one of the things I learned about myself in Neverland. When the nightmares would hit, Peter would bring me by the fire to calm me down.
Everyone else are asleep. All of a sudden, my stomach decides to roar. I didn't realize how hungry I was. I walk into the jungle where I remember seeing a bush of edible berries. I sit down beside it and begin eating.
The bushes to my let began rustling and I emediatly grabbed my sword.
"Who's there?"
" Oh I think you know exactly who it is" says a voice I know too well.
Pan walks out from behind the bush and walks towards me.
"What do you want?"
He smirked.
"Well it's quite simple actually. More than twenty years ago you left me. And now you decide to come back. Don't think I'm letting you go again. Precious you're in for a treat"
The last thing I saw before everything went black was a grinning Peter.
