Caught In Neverland

Cherished

"Bae! You're here!" She wanted to get up and run to him, but she couldn't. Even though Peter wrapped up her ankle, it still hurt and she hadn't taken anything for the pain. "Emma, what are you doing here? I heard whispers but I didn't believe it. How did you get here, and why are you with Peter?" Baelfire asked her, while looking at Peter frustrated at this situation. He heard a loud noise behind him, and turned to watch as the passage way was closing.

He has been trying to keep her safe, and this happens anyways? She came here anyways? He was furious. "Come on Emma, we're going home. You can't be here. Peter, you need to stay away from her. I'm not afraid of you and you can't keep her here. Not while I'm around" " Bae, Peter didn't bring me here. It was Shadow. He chased Shadow onto my room last night, and we tried to trap him in a candle but Shadow found out and threw the candle and caught my room on fire then took me here. It was awful! Then he dropped me in here, and I hurt my ankle when I hit the ground Bae, I can't move it. Peter has been taking care of me since he can't use magic to fly me out of here and I can't climb. But you found a door! A secret passage!" She was full of hope now and was really just happy to see Bae, but he didn't seem happy to see her. "Bae, are you mad at me? I didn't try to come here, I don't think I could bare the thought of you being upset with me." She said "Shadow brought me. And now I'm here. So instead of being angry with Peter, can we please find a safer place to go, before Shadow comes back for me? Please? I don't want to be scared anymore Bae. I feel safe with you, Peter too. So I need you two to work together and help me. Please, Bae?" Bae stood there, looking around the small room. Top to bottom and all of his surroundings. "I know this place, don't I Peter?" Bae said. He looked at Peter, while tilting his head, thinking back really hard. He remembered it, because it was the first place he lived when he came here. He had no one. No family, no friends. Just himself and Peter. He thought Peter was bad back then. Maybe he was. Maybe he still is, but right now they seemed to share a common interest. Keeping Emma safe. She was all he had left in this life to care for, and he was going to make sure she was ok, and he was going to watch Peter like a hawk. Because nothing will change his opinion of Peter. Bae knew what he was capable of. First hand. But right now, they needed to make sure Emma was ok.

"I have a plan. Peter, come with me. Emma, we will be right back. Ok?" She nodded. Bae and Peter climbed up and back out through the the top of the old tree. Since the passage closed up right after he got inside. Shadow must have found a way to close it up after he got inside. As a trap in case anyone found a way in. Together they flew, Peter with his own magic to fly, and Bae with his fairy dust, quick through the shadows, so no one would see them. Past trees that covered more secret houses, past hills that never got climbed, all the way to the island they let Captain hook use on his trips. They landed right outside Hooks cabin. "What exactly is your plan Bae" Peter asked him "Hook won't help us. He works for Shadow." "We both did once as well. I was hoping I could appeal to the good side of him." He looked at Peter, then started to laugh. "I'm kidding. I know better, I'm not an idiot, I'm here to steal his sheets, and a few swords. Anything strong we can use to hold open the passage door when we get back. But we have to hurry, we can't leave Emma alone long. I don't trust Shadow." And on that note, Peter and Bae, snuck into Hook's cabin. Quietly, not making a sound. No one was there. That should make it easier. Bae grabbed a few swords, while Peter started taking the sheets off of his bed. "Wow! He has silk sheets, and silk pillows! That's fancy! I sleep with oversized fairy tree branch leaves,"  (those are just the same as regular tree leaves. Just covered in fairy dust. As protection, and fall from the fairies sacred tree, where they all live. Only Bae and Peter know where it is. Unfortunately, Shadow knows as well.) "Bae, you HAVE to feel these!" He ran over to Bae shoving a pillow in his face. "Seriously Pete? Can you NOT be a child right now? We are on a time sensitive mission!" Peter's jaw dropped and he started laughing. He kicked himself up into a short flight. Like you would kick if you're starting a motor cycle, and bounced back down on the ground by the bed so he could finish what he was doing. "I swear you've forgotten how to walk. Do you have to fly every where you go? You literally just kicked your self up to fly exactly 10 feet. Was that necessary?" Peter thought to himself. Pointer finger tapping on his chin and looked at Bae. "Yes. I do. I will because I can." Then he stuck out his tongue at Bae, and carried on.

After a few minutes, they were done. They grabbed what they had, and climbed the stairs to get out. But they were greeted by Hook's men. Suddenly they were surrounded, and had their arms full of swords and other things. "Sorry guys, I don't have time for this." Peter said, "I have more important things to tend to. But I'm sure we'll see each other really soon." And he and Bae kicked off at the same time to fly back. None of Hook's men could fly. They were too old. So no one followed them. But now they'd be on the look out for them. They could worry about that all later.
They jumped down the hole and wrapped Emma up, so they could both carry her out, and Bae went outside to open the door.
"You ready?" Bae asked Peter, as Bae was ready to open the passage way, and then immediately put the swords in place to hold the doors open. Bae was outside and Peter was inside.
They got the door open, and the passage lock open. They carried her out. Now they could fly her where ever they needed to. "Can I go home? I really want to go home." She asked, but they knew the answer. Because Peter may be able to leave, but Shadow would never let Bae, or Emma leave. "Emma, let's just focus on getting out of this tree first. Ok?" Peter said. They flew to a place near where they already were. Shadow wouldn't think they'd stay close by. Shadow may know everything Peter knows, but they don't think the same. Inside the other tree they found, had actual beds, lanterns, and since they were all always under ground, there were no windows to see them.
"Could we just leave the candle lit and open? Incase he comes in the night?" They all thought that was a great idea. But there was only one problem with that. "I only have one candle." Peter said. "Is there anything to eat here? I'm starving." Emma had spoken, with her face looking down in disappointment. She thought her idea was great, and it was, but it just showed her how difficult it would be to finally trap that Shadow. How can they trap something that doesn't even have a body, and Flys everywhere? "There are some 'Never berries' planted at the base of this tree we are in. I will go and get some." Bae said. "I love Never berries!" Emma said, finally excited about something. She ate them each time she came to visit before. They were very filling. So Bae went out and grabbed some, but then he heard a rustle in the trees near by. "Who's there!" No one spoke, and he didn't hear anything else. No movement, not a sound, he looked up into the trees but saw nothing. It was night time, so everything was dark. Bae grabbed the berries and ran back in. "Here you are my princess." He handed Emma the berries and she ate them all. They started looking around trying to decide who would sleep where, when suddenly Emma began to look pale. "Emma, are you OK? You don't look well." Said Peter. "I don't know. I feel very tired..." And with that being said, she fell over. Bae ran to her "Emma, EMMA! Wake up! I can feel a faint pulse. But she won't wake up!" Peter smelt the berries, and sure enough, something, some magic had been placed on them. "What kind of magic could be placed on food?" Peter said. But Bae looked to Emma, then back to Peter. "I know exactly what kind of magic, and this isn't good."
