Raven's P.O.V
I was walking through the forest.
Taking small steps, I was watching shadows playing around.
Hearing their whispers and silent laughs. Enjoying their freedom.
I wonder how is that? Having that kind of a freedom?
Since I never had one.
I continued walking through the forest. Having fun with shadows.
As a baby shadow threw a black ball towards me, I caught it gently.
Their calming laughs were echoing through the forest and whole Neverland.
The whole day was passing calmly and peacefully. There were no troubles and everything was silent.
Even Peter was feeling calm that day and everyone were having fun.
A shadow child tried to throw a ball at someone but it threw it to far. Way to far.
We all laughed a little and I went to get the ball.
I walked towards the path where the ball was thrown.
As I walked I could hear and see trees rustling.
I found the ball in the bush.
I chuckled and was about to take the ball.
Suddenly, I was thrown against the tree. I felt a sudden pain like something was broken.
"Ugh!" I grunted in pain.
I got up from the ground.
Breathing heavily, I looked at my attacker.
Rumplestiltskin.
"Hello again, dearie."
He said.
I growled.
"What kind of a welcome is that?"
He asked sarcastically.
I was just staring at him.
"Why are you back?"
I asked.
He looked kinda shocked by my question.
"Did you really think I wouldn't come back?"
He asked surprised.
I didn't know what to answer.
I wasn't even sure what to think.
"Raven, you are one extraordinary creature. The moment you are in someone's presence, that person also becomes, in this case immortal."
He explained.
"But what is the main reason of your visit here?" I asked, a little but scared of his answer. I kinda new it, but wanted to make sure I was right.
There was a moment of silence.
He looked at me deadly serious.
"I don't know why you even asked that. I thought you knew."
He seemed surprised.
I waited for him to answer.
"I want you Raven. You and your magic." He grinned.
I growled at him, as he chuckled at me.
I could still feel the pain inside of me.
But I knew I had to contain the pain and ignore it this time.
I screamed at threw a fire ball at Rumple. He dodged it and attacked me with his fire ball.
I moved away and he missed.
I started running and jumping in inhuman speed around Rumple to blur his sight.
I made a fog from the dirt on the ground, wind and everything around me.
"You really think you cat beat me, dearie?"
It seemed like it was working until the moment he hit me with his magic directly in the stomach.
I fell hard on the ground with a huge thud.
I was on my knees and with my one hand on the ground and with my other hand holding my stomach.
