Caught In Neverland

In the beginning...

The enchanted forrest was the greenest it had ever been, the palace was a bloom with roses. White ones. With the likeness of the fairest of them all. SnowWhite. The fairest in all the land. A long and difficult road, that finally brought the prince and Princess together. After years of trying, the couple finally conceived a child. Beautiful and fair like her mother, blue eyes like her mother and flowing blond curly hair like her father. They named her Emma. After Charming's aunt who past when he was a child. As her father would play with her tiny ringlets around his fingers, she would curl her fingers around her father's ring finger... always fascinated by the rock on his wedding band. When she got older, she would always tell her daddy how she wanted something so shiny and pretty. She would spin the pretty ring between her fingers, until her fingers were tired.

Her childhood was perfect. Her mother, SnowWhite was always there to sing her to sleep at night, and her charming daddy was always there in the mornings to kiss her eyelids til she woke up. Well, the mornings that he was home, and wasn't out on a quest for something spectacular! He always made sure to bring her home a trinket from his travels. But when he was gone, her mother would make her blueberry pancakes in bed to cheer her up, and she would be so excited that she would bounce up and down, clapping her hands until her food would almost fall on the floor. SnowWhite would just smile. Knowing she could take her mind off the fact that Charming wasn't there, She was after all, her daddy's little princess.

Every night, for as far back as Emma could remember, she would stare out at the stars, and wish for a baby brother or sister. Someone her own age to play with, and every night she would dream of a handsome little boy who reminded her of fire, because that was his name. Baelfire. He was such a handsome boy. She would wake up every morning and forget almost all of her dreams, but she would always remember his face. His big brown eyes, and dark brown shoulder length hair. She thought he was pretty. He made her laugh, and they would run around the island in her dreams. Tinker bell would sprinkle her with fairy dust and they would fly around the beautiful night, until it was time for her to go home.

Over time, she grew older, and didn't dream of him as much. But when she did, he always looked the same. Same age, same face, same hair. One night, in her dreams, they spoke for a long time. "I know we don't see each other as much as we used to, but I promise that will change soon. I'm gonna get outta here soon and I'll come find you." He said. "But why would you want to leave here? It's so wonderful and magical!" Emma asked. "Emma." He whispered to her, as he lowered their heads, and cupped his hands around her ears. "I have to leave. If I don't, I don't know what they will do to me. I'm not the one they were looking for when I came here. I've just been stuck here ever since I came and I can't leave. But I found something. And it's going to work. I know it will. But you may not see me for a while." Emma looked hurt, "is it me? Am I the reason you're leaving? Am I not fun anymore? It's cause I'm getting older isn't it. Is that why you want to leave me?" She started to cry. "Emma, don't cry," he stroked her hair, and held her little body as she started to cry. He was already 15, and she was barely 13. She was very small for her age.

"I never want to leave you Emma. That's why I want to leave here. It's not safe here for you anymore and I don't want you hurt either. One day soon, he will come for you. And I can't let him have you." He worried her with the last part. "Who are you talking about? Who is it you're worried about?"
When he looked at Emma, she could see the  fear in his eyes...
"Emma, it's him that wants you... Peter Pan."

This is my first story in a long time, I hope you like it. I really love the Swanfire ship, and wish it would have worked. Although I am also a CaptainSwan fan as well. So, if I did have to choose, it would have been Baelfire. It would always be Baelfire.
