Finding You Always

Chapter 70: My Home is You

Henry slept soundly beneath a tree, until a noise slowly roused him from his slumber.

"Here...eat," Pan said, as he tossed him an apple. Henry crinkled his nose.

"No thanks, I don't like apples," he replied.

"Who doesn't like apples?" Pan asked.

"It's a family thing," Henry replied and Pan smirked.

"Don't worry," Pan said, as he crouched down to eye level with the younger boy.

"They're not for eating. It's for a kind of game. A really fun game," Pan said, as he aimed a cross bow.

"I call it target practice," he said.

So...once we get around this blasted jungle, what exactly is the plan? I mean, we have magic on our side, but that didn't seem to matter much," Leo said.

"It won't. In fact, I suggest from refraining from the use of magic until we get there. Pan can sense it and if he does, he'll just keep moving his camp and let us run in circles," Hook warned.

"How the hell are we going to find it if he keeps moving it?" Regina asked.

"By using someone he trusts," Hook responded.

"Well, that's definitely not you so who do you have in mind?" Emma asked.

"A fairy who lived here when I was about. She might still be on the island. She just may be able to get us in and she might even have some pixie dust," Hook said.

"Wait...a fairy in Neverland?" Leo asked.

"Pixie dust...do you mean Tinkerbell?" Emma winced.

"Yes...do you know her?" he asked. She rolled her eyes

"Every kid in the world knows her," Emma mumbled, as Regina stopped.

"Aunt Regina?" Eva called.

"I'm afraid Tinkerbell probably won't help us," she said regrettably.

"Why...do you know her?" Leo asked.

"Yes," Regina replied.

"And let me guess, she knew you when you were the Evil Queen," Emma deduced.

"Not yet, but I was on my way there," Regina replied.

"But...you've changed. You're not the same person you once were," Eva replied

"I know sweetie, but many will never forgive me for the things I did and Tinkerbell is one of them," Regina answered.

"We have to try. We can get her to listen to us," Leo insisted.

"Leo's right, it's our best option," Emma decided.

"Not if we combine our magic," Regina suggested.

"And if Pan senses it, he'll move the camp. This is the best option we have," Emma decided and Regina sighed.

"Okay, but I still say this is a bad idea," she voiced, as Hook led them off in the direction that he last knew Tinkerbell's hideout to be.

They arrived at the shore again where they had left the small boat they had used to come on from the Jolly Roger.

"Do we sail to the other island?" Snow asked curiously.

"Not without permission from the tribe," Clayton replied. They watched, as he touched what looked like a closed bloom of a large flower growing on a reed in the water. To their amazement, the flower opened, revealing a myriad of magical, rainbow colored butterflies, which fluttered into the sky.
