How is it you? (Henry Mills)

Part 2 Chapter 10

*Annalynn*

I lead the group to the pack of lost boys, waiting for something to happen like always. Felix is with them. He's angry and can't stop feeling like it, all because of me.

I can't allow his feelings to get to me. I've put all the boys before me for so long. Shouldn't I get something for myself for once. I'm not being selfish, am I?

"We're at the perimeter, lets come up with a plan." I stop them a few meters away from camp.

"I'll use my magic to put them to sleep for a short amount of time, allowing us to get Wendy." Regina looks to me, we nod. We get up close to the bushes and trees. I can see all of them, smiling and talking. Innocent boys. My boys. The boys I left.

It feels like so long ago I had left them, but it was really within a timespan of 48 hours. A lots changed in those hours. They all hate me now, or at least act like it.

We watch for a few minutes, when signaled by me, Regina waves her hand. A wave of purple light flows though the boys, they all drop to the floor in a soft but deep sleep.

We all come out from different directions just in case something we weren't prepared for happens.

My focus turns to the people at my feet. I find Felix in the crowd, walk over and couch down next to him.

"Help!" Wendy yells for us. Everyone goes to help. I remain where I am, looking down at his face. The sleeping spell has made them all look so peaceful, even though their dreams are never so. I wait for them to come back with Wendy. When she sees me, she steps back and hides behind Emma.

"Relax, I'm a good guy. I've never been on Pan's side. I'm sorry I had to knock you out that one time." Picking up a blanket while rolling my eyes, I go over to her and wrap it over her shoulders, then directing her to sit down on a tree stump. "Your brothers; they helped us get something to help defeat Pan."

"They're okay." Her face illuminates at the mention of her brothers.

"Yes, your going to be okay. We promised we'd get you back to them."

"I'll see John and Michael?"

"Yes, you don't have to wait much longer." I tell her, then turning the the others. "You should hurry,"

They arrived at the boat, pan rowing while Henry looks up at the starts in awe. Happiness and excitement comes from Pan. It's revolting.

"We'll stay back and watch the lost boys." Snow suggests with David at her side.

"Rumple can find a cure for the poison, your coming home, both of you." Emma's breath starts to quicken. They hug each other and have a moment. I look down at the lost boys. When they wake, I'll have to face them. But I can't face Peter yet, I'm still scared. Once I face the lost boys I'll be able to face Peter.

"I'm staying here too, I know them best so I know what kind of stunts they might try to pull."

"I'm with Annalynn, you guys go get Henry." Tinker Belle comes to stand beside me.

"Actually mate, you'll come with me, back to the Jolly Roger to get things ready. Meet us back there when you find Henry." Hook intervenes.

"We're all going home, together." Emma confidently starts walking off. Rumplestiltskin, Neal, and Regina all go in her direction as Hook and Tinker Belle go another way leaving me with the charming's.

The silence lingers between us for a while. They both take a seat on a stump, but I can't bring myself to sit. It's better to stand before them when they wake.
